The Great Suspension Bridges.

In response to the inquiries of cor
respondent, the Niagara Falls Gazette
gives the following interesting sketch
of the history of the great suspension
bridges: In 1S48 Charles Ellet, bril-
liant rather than a professional engi-
neer, built the first suspension bridg e
over the Niagara, on the site of the
present railroad bridge. The bridge
was only for carriages and foot pas.
sengers. The towers were OF
wood and the roadway was only six
feet in width, just wide enough fol-
one team. Mr.. Ellet in the beginning
had offered reward of SIS to the first
person who should get string over
the river. The next windy day d large
number of boys assembled On the
bank with kites, and before night one
of them. a former townsman, Holman
j. Walsh, then boy of Is years of
age, landed his kite on the Canadian
shore and received the promised
reward. By means OF this string,
larger cords, then ropes, and then iron
cables, small at first, but increasing in
size, were drawn across, till the large
cables were thus stretched. This
structure served as a most excellent
auxillery in the construction of the
present bridge. This was built by
Americas great engineer, John S.
Roebling, and has always been cOnsid-
cred one of the greatest Of his works.
1t was commenced in 1852, and the
first locomotive crossed it in 1854. The
iron basket now hanging under the
railroad track hear the American end
Of the bridge, was first used by Mr..
Ellet, and in it the first person who
ever crossed the chasm alive and of
his own free will, was crossed over.
There is an old Indian tradition that a
resisting chief was once carried to the
opposite side by large bald-headed
eagle, who swooped down on the great
warrior as he lay in ambush on the
ground and bore him over. Ladies
have also crossed in this basket. The
suspension bridge by Brooks monu-
ment was built in 1856 by I. e. Serret.
The ice jam in 1856 tore the guys from
the rocks to which they were fast
ened, and before they were replaced a
terrific gale broke the railway, severed
the suspenders. and left the structure
dangling in the air. The new suspen-
sion bridge, as it is called, was built
in 1868, the cables being carried over
in the winter on the ice bridge. It's
length is over twelve hundred feet,
or full quarter of a mile from out
side to outside Of the towers, and is
the longest suspension bridge in the
world.

THE WILFUL GRASSHOPPER.
BY IMOGENE,

BY IMOGENE.
A grasshopper lived in the stable,
He idnothing but eat and jump;
And often he got into trouble,
And had many an ugly bump.
For he gave no heed to the warning,
Always "to look before you leap;''
His mother repeated each morning
AS soon as they Weakened from sleep.
One day as he went away hopping,
His mother cried out in alarm,
"Oh my dear, you better be stopping
In the stubble coy and warm"
But he only laughed at his mother
AS he merrily hoped away,
Saying "Fy! Oh, why will you bother
When you know Ill come back to-day 90
He went along jumping and eating,
On nothing but pleasure intent;
The bright sunshine tho warm was feeting
And the night very cold and wet
He was stiff and numb in the morning;
Unable to hop any more;
And was gobbled up without warning,
By hen quite near the barn door.
Now, dear little children, remember;
Heed ever your mothers advice,
And all pride and self-will surrender;
Read the grasshopper's sad fate twice.

Habits of the COckrOach.

Wherever it came from, the cock
roach is true Anglo-SaXon in its
capacity for colonization. In Britain
it has established itself all over the
length and breadth of the land, but is
chiefly, if not altogether, confined to
houses, inhabiting kitchens, sculleries,
bakehouseS, and such-like places,
where plenty of food can be obtained.
Nothing that is eatable land many
things that are not usually con-
sidered edible) comes amiss to this
voracious animal, than whom it would
be difficult to find more omnivorous
creature. In addition to almost every
article Of human food, such apparently
unpalatable objects as wooden gar
ments, the greasy rags used in clean
ing steam-engines and other machin-
cry, shoes and other articles Of
leather, and even books and paper,
enter into it's bill of fare. In ware
houses, and ON board ships, the
ravages it commits are great; whole
barrels and sacks of flour, corn, rice.
and other articles of like nature,
being sometimes consumed by it,.
Amongst other things, cinnamon is
said to possess grea attractions for
the cockroach palate, and there is a
scandal to the effect that those whose
business it is to reduce the cinnamon
sticks to powder are not very care
full to separate the spice from the
insect-Which sometimes constitute
nearly half the contents of the
bags-but tumble them together
into the mill. Though to.its other
crimes the cockroach does
not apparently add that Of can
nibalism, the cast skins and the inte-
rior of the egg-capsules are said to be
eaten by them, and other insects are
occasionally deyoured. Amongst the
latter is said to be the common bed
bug, which, if true, is a point in
favor of the cockrOach. In habits it
is strictly nocturnal. During the
day it hides in crevices in the
floor, behind the wainscot, OF in any
other dark hole, where it turks till the
darkness and quiet of night tempt it
forth. It seems to be fond Of warmth
as it is always found in greater abund-
ance near fre-places and ovens.
Though this or some allied species of
cockroach was well known to the an
clients, and termed by them Lucifug9,
because they ran away from the light,
it is not quite certain that it is not the
sound Of the footsteps of the person
carrying the light rather than the
light itself which alarms them. They
run with great celebrity; but, although
quite able to ascend perpendicular
surfaces, they do not, as rule, when
in the kitchen, venture up
stairs. Probably the larger supply of
food, the greater warmth, tend to pre-
vent them from wandering from the
kitchen and its adjuncts. When seized
they discharge from their mouths a
brownish. fluid of most disgusting and
persistent odor, which, moreover,
clings to any objects over which they
have crept. This, in addition to their
makes them most undesir-
able inmates of a house.

A Fable.

One day q troop OF JackaIS were
astonished beyond measure at the
appearance of q Lion III their midst,
and their surprise could not be mag
ined when his countenance assumed a
pleasant expression and he remarked ::
Friends. I have come to settle

we shall dwell together in harmony"
"Hooyay! for the Lion! Hurrah
for the old man-killer cheered the
Jackals. and they were tickled to
death at their good luck.
But the Lion had scarcely got his
den in order when one of the Jackals
came sneaking in and began:

had sowed good seed. Next day a
