A Bridge Problem.

The District Commissioners have ad-
dressed a letter to First Comptroller Lawrence,
wherein they detail the decayed and unsafe con-
dition of the bridge across the James Creek Canal
at NJ street southwest: state that the needed re-
pairs will cost not less than 5000, and that it
would be more economical to replace the old
structure with q durable bridge of iron, which
would cost between $1,000 and 5000 As the ap-
preparation for repairing bridges is too small to
justify this expenditure, and before any appropria
ton could be made available the bridge would
have to be closed against travel the Commissioners
ask if this is not case of emergency and whether
they would be authorized to make contract for
building a bridge payable from the contingent
fund

MONOP0LIES.

The great tendency Of our country
now, whether it be from the wishes
OF the masses, or not, We will not say,
is leaning towards monopolics. a
few men now in the land own cliougl,
capital to block the wheels OF com
mcrcc, and throw stngnation where
ever they desire. Could and Wander
bilt are regular monied kings. Stocks,
and even the products Of the country
are TO them no more than Il foot bali.
The wire has only to click and prices
arc raised or dropped as the .'rich
mcn' please. This We can stand, as
we are obliged TO Go, but it becomes
a serious matter when the mighty
railroad kings are injected into the
body Of The Government. Stanley
Matthews now sits Il judge upon
many Of the acts and interests of his
old associates. Dcpcw is candi-
date for the United States Senate,
and one by one these cohorts Of
money and power arc becoming
mighty lever to lit or drop this
Government as they please. 1t is
dangerous, and onghtto Gc g,inrdrl
against.

IMPROVE YOUR FARMS.

Let our people devote more Of their
attention to Improvement and ma
tcrial development, and less to poll
tics, anlSit will be better for our
country. We have made vast strides
in farming, but there is more yet to
be done, 1t would pay us if our
fields wore made like garden spots.
II we can maze one acre produce
what two or three now produce, il
would lie easy to calculate what we
would save in the expense Of labor
Why spend the labor on two or three
acres toe make what one acre can
make? Besides this, we should
Introduce machinery to manufacture
what VIC want ut home. We spend
too much for Northern articles. II
should,bc the pride OF every farmer
to make his farm seltsuslaining In
this way we will build up the South.

Fl TIE REASON WHY.

Can anybody tell why, when Eve
was manufactured from one Of
Adam ril,s,a hired girl wasn't made
ut the time to wait Oh her?
We can easily! Because Adam
never came whining to Eve with 4
ragged stocking TO be darncd, Il col
lar string to be scwed on, a glove to
be mcndcd, right away, quick now!''
because he never read the newspaper
until the sun got down behind the
palm tree, and then stretched him
self, yawning, out, "Ain't supper
most ready, my DEAR
He made the fire and hung over
the tea kettle himself, well venture,
and pulled the radishcs, and peeled
Tie bananas aud did everything else
that he ought to! He inilkcd the COW
and fed the chickens, and looked
after the pigs himself. lie never
brought home half Il dozen to dinner
when Eve hadn't any fresh pomc
granutcs and the mango season was
over.
He never stayed out until II
o'clock to "A ward niccting," hurrah
ing for the candidate, and then scold-
ing because poor deer Eve was sit
ting up ard crying inside the gates.
10 be sure he acted rather cowartily
about applc-gathering time, but
then that don't dcprcciatc his gcncr
i'll hclplulncss, about the garden! lie
never played billiards, nor drove fast
horses, nor even chokcl Eve with i
cigar smoke.
lie never loaicd around corner
groceries while solitary Eve was rock
ing little Cam S cradle ut home. In
short, he didn't think she was spc
cially created for the purpose of
waiting OH him, aud wasn't under
The impression that it disgraccd Il
man to tighten his witc's cares y
little.
That's the reason that Eve did moi
need hired girl, and we wish it was
the reason that none Of her fair ec-
sccndants did?

has been the result. The Lcgisla-
