PEARL ST. BRIDGE AND IT'S
SURROUNDINGS.

SURRoUNDINGS.
The croakings of the faithless res
pecting the noD-completion Of this
bridge as predicted until spring are
now happily allayed. During the
past few days the foreman of the
bridge contracts of the Phmnixville
works and some skilled hands from
the city, have been constructing and
placing in position, temporarily, the
wooden trestles necessary for the iron
frame Of the bridge, which is expect
ed every day. Fully alive to his
duties, Freebooter Stacy Scott is
carefully viewing the progress of the
work. In view Of the preparations
now nearly completed, the bridge
(unless the iron part is delayed in
transportation will probably be fu-
ished at the close of this week.
Standing upon one of the abut.
ments and viewing the substantial
improvements in the vicinity, the
outlook for Burlington is very prom
isiag. Messrs. 7. P & s. s. Smith
are now employing some sixty hands
in their new, commodious, and attrac-
tive shoe factory. About the middle
of January they anticipate running
full handed, having capacity and
facilities for turning out 600 pairs Of
shoes day. In making and finish
ing pair Of shoes ready for market,
some thirty different and most in
genious machines are required, and
from 80 to 100 employees aided by
labor-saving machinery, can accom-
plish in day, an amount of work
requiring with manual labor alone,
225 operatives. Mr.. Chas. farmers
foundry adjacent to the Messrs,
Smiths factory will be ready for oc-
cupancy in few days. The hum Of
this industry will add further to the
busy scenes in that vicinity, while the
lncessant working of the National
Bureau Of Engraving Co., completes
an industrial section of our city
which has sprung up like magic and
torerunner unqusstionably Of other
establishments. The courtesy Of the
proprietors Of the factory referred to,
induces the belief that visit from
our citizens will always meet with
cordiality aud attention.

THE TWO AGES.

Folks were happy as days were long
In the old Arcadian times:
When life seemed only dance and song
In the sweetest OF all sweet climes.
Our ord grows bigger, and, stage BY stage
As the pitiless years have rolled,
We've quite forgotten the Golden Age,
And come to the Age of Gold.
Time went away in a sheepish way
Upon Thessaly's plains of yore.
In the nineteenth century lambs at play
Mean mutton, and nothing more
Our SWANS at present are far too sage
To live as one lived of old
So they couple the crook of the Golden Age
With hook in the Age of Gold
From Corydon's reed the mountains round
Heard news of his latest flame:
And Tityrus made the woods resound
With echoes Of Daphne's name.
They kindly let US a lasting gauge
Of their musical heart we are told
And the Pandeau pipe OF the Golden Age,
Brings mirth to the Age of Gold.
Dwellers in huts and in marble halls
From shepherdess up to the queen
Cared little for bOnnets and less for shawls.
And nothing for crinolne
But now simplicity'S not the rage,
And it's funny to think how cold
The dress they wore in the Golden Age
Would seem in the Age of Gold,
Electric telegraphs, printing, gas,
Tobacco. balloons and steam.
Are little events that have come to pass
Since the days of the old regime
And spite Of Lempriere's dazzling page
I'd give-though it might seem bold
A hundred years Of the Golden Age
For year of the Age of Gold.

The Ladies' Wanted Some Breakfast.

a few years ago q steamer drew into
the Bay of Naples with lot of pas
sengers among whom were a small
party of Americans. The night had
been rough, and the ship was behind
time. TWAS II o'clock already, and no
breakfast. The stingy captain had re-
solved to economize. A stout, quiet
man with stout hickory stick, went to
the captain, and begged for a little
coffee, at least for the ladies. The cap
tain turned mis- back fiuttered his coat
tails in the face Of the stout, quiet man
and walked up his deck. The stout,
quiet man followed and still respect
fully begged for something for the
ladies, who were faint with hunger.
Then the captain turned and threaten
ed to put him in irons at the same
time calling his officers around him.
The stout man with the stout stick very
quietly proceeded to thrash the cap
tain. He thrashed him until he could
not stand and then thrashed every
officer that dared to show his face, as
well as half the crew. Then he went
down and made the cook get breakfast.
This was an old Californian, "Dave
Cotton" as we used to call him up at
Yreka. Of course an act like that was
punishable with death almost. piracy
on the high SEAS" and all that sort of
offense was charged; and [ know no
how much gold it cost to heal the
wounded head and dignity of the cap
tain of the ship. But this Californian
neither knew or cared for the law
He had little party Of ladies with him
and he would not see them go hungry.
He would have that coffee if it cost him
his head. Dear Dave Cotton! [ hear
he is dead now We first got acquaint-
ed at Yreka while shooting at each 9TH

they are always forthcoming. One Of
the most experienced detectives on the
Irish staff is now in England, making
inquiries in the midland and northern
towns respecting the notifications Of
the Fenian society, regarding Mr.
Davitt's imprisonment. The inten.
ton of the authorities is not to detain
him in custody after the subsidence oil
the agitation and the re-establishment
of amicable relation between the land
lords and tenants of Ireland This
| much desired cOnsummation cannot
be reached until the land bill is passed
and comes in operation. In the mean
time the severity of prison discipline
will be relaxed in Dayitt's favor to the
extent that he will be exempt from
hard convict labor and from associa-
ton with the lower grades of criminals.
The state of his health will also be tax
en- into full consideration. This intel
igence was allowed to leak out, view,
it is supposed, of allaying the anxiety
Of his friends regarding his physical
ailment.
In 1870 he was arrested, tried, and
convicted of treason-felony, because of
alleged connection with Fenian plots
in Birmingham. He was sentenced to
fifteen years penal servitude, but about
the end of 1877 he was released con-
ditionally. The authorities charge
that he has violated the terms of his
release by making seditious speeches
and upon his arrest he was allowed to
make no defense. The examining
magistrate only required the pro-
duction of warrant terminating
Davitt's license to be at large, which
was held wholly at the mercy Of the
government. The warrant being ex-
hibited and the prisoner identified, he
was remanded to prison, there to serve
out his sentence. The examination
was held in secret, and Davitt hurried
off to prison before the public were
aware that he had arrived in London
His incarceration deprives the land
league of one of its ablest chiefs.
AS adopted by the house Of commons
Mr.. Gladstone's resolution providing
for suppression of obstructive debates
and other dilatOry proceedings requires
that the motion for urgency" shall be
made by minister, and accompanied
by an explanation of the reasons for
it. The motion must be sustained by
a vote ofthree-fourths, and can not be
carried unless there at least three hun
dred members present. 1t clothes the
speaker with despotic power for the
restraint Of small minOrities like the
English radicals and Irish home-rulers
who cannot at present muster more
than about forty votes by combining
their forces. The spread ofrepublican
ideas in England has been rapid of late
however, and itmay be expected that
within few years their representation
in parliament will be strong enough to
command respect. In the country the
radicals are already so numerous that
any attempt at stringent restraint upon
their freedom ofmovement and speech
would be decidedly dangerous.

A Bad Plan.

Memoranda should not be made to
take the place of memory There can
be very little doubt of the bad effects
of habitually writing down these facts
and events which we wished to remem-
Der; they are taken down for future
consideration, and consequently re-
ceive very little present consideration.
From a conviction that our knowledge
can be thus easily recalled, it is never
Systematically arranged or deeply en-
graved; we atone for the passive in
dolence of the mind by the mechani-
cal labor of the hands, and write vol
ume without remembering line. The
desirable and the useful thing is that
we should carry our knowledge about
with us; the one should be exhibited
in the alacrity of our actions, and the
other proved by the vigor of our
thoughts.

Queer Industries i'm New York.

Correspondence Atlanta Constitution.
The investigation of the census men
have led to some queer developments
In the manufactures of New York and
adjoining cities. The largest single in
dustry in New York is that of custom
made clothes. The making of paper
patterns employs hundreds of hands,
and, ten large houses being engaged in
it, uses tons of paper. There are fac
tories for making dried blood, the dunn
mics that milliners use to show dresses
on, theatrical armor and jeWsharps.
The use of adulterating substances is
getting to be general CASTLE soap
is made of grease and terra alba, or
white earth, and white earth is used
largely in candy-making. Glucose,
which is corn starch, is used heavily
by the sugar refineries. There is firm
engaged in making honey and honey
comb. The honey-comb is made by
machinery of paraffine wax, and is an
exact imitation of the regular thing,
except that the bees fashion their cells
of walls only 1-1-25 of an inch wide,
while human artificers have not yet be
come that deft. The cells are filled
with glucose, which IS the sweet syrup
of common corn, anu looks and tastes
like honey. The cells, once filled, are
closed by smearing hot iron plate
over the wax tops, and the product is
sold as the ''best clover honey" 1t is
in great demand and outsells the regu
lar honey. Gallons and gallons of the
best tomato catsup are made from the
tomato skins which are purchased from
the great tomato canning establish
ments.
