The SwANroN BREAKWA Ter George
Bliss has matte an examination OF he
different items that 60 o make up tn
great river and habor steal Enthe course
of his examination be came across an item
of $500 for a hreaRwaltral Swanton har-
Dor. The site selected for the future city
of Swanton has not single Il .tural ad
vantage for harbor; the prevailing
winds in this section are north, west and
south, and from these three points the
winds have uninterrupted sweep, with
not projecting point of land to break
its force. If Swanton ever has harbor
it must be an artificial one, and as the
commerce of this city would never cause
one to be built by private enterprise, the
money bags of Uncle Sam were drawn
upon. With what result is shown the
following extracts a review of Col. Bliss
phamphlet in the New York Sun: "The
harbor at Swanton, Vermont, gets $500
this year for the construction of a break
water 1900 feet long. Up to date only
260 feet of this wonderful breakwater
have been accomplished, and yet it has
already cost $50 600 BY this simple
rule of three we find at this rate the com
pleted structure will cost the nation ST.
1854, 925. That is considerably more than
a thousand dollars for every man, woman
and child in the township Of Swanton"
The Swanton Courier comes to the de,
Tense of the breakwater. 1t says: "A
fishing scow is occasionally seen anchored
under the lee of the break water while
festive fishermen bob lor bass. Tn fishing
is excellent Fl ON the breaNwa;er Thus
it is again seen that there arc two sides to
every question.

Not long ago Col. Leonard Henkle, of
Roche ster, made the startling announce
ment thathe intended to utilize Niagara
Falls to furnish power for lighting New
York by electricity. Another inventor in
that ambitious city now proposes to fur
nish power to run the whole world 50 to
speak, but more particularly the ocean
steamers and ships of all kinds, railroad
trains, factories, etc, Like Mr.. Henkle,
he proposes to get his power for nothing
His plan is to construct turbine wheel,
nearly one mile in diameter This he
intends to have placed in the Melstrom
off the coast of Norway, attaching it to
cables which shall span the oceans, and
which, when the wheel once starts in
motion, will furnish power for everybody
All the expense attacked to this will be
repairs to the wheel and cables, which
may occur from time to time, "and' says
the inven tor, you know that will amount
to almost nothing"

DISGUSTED,

Good writing is not inconsistent with
good eating; for ones brains rather
thrive than suffer by needing the de-
mands of healthy and hearty appetite.
To illustrate the folly of the ETHEREAL no.
tions which young ladies sometimes form
of their favorite authors and poets, an
English paper tells this story of the way
poor Charlotte Bronte was once disen-
chanted of her hero worship. Thacke-
ray was her favorite author, and in her
lonely home on the moors her imagina-
ton invested him with all the ideal
graces.
On a visit to London, she was lifted
to the summit of happiness by an invita-
ton to dinner where Thackeray was
to be one of the guests. She was intro
duced to the great man and sat next to
him. 1t was red-letter day in her life,
and memory was on the alert to retain
all his bright sayings, and report them
to her sisters. Thackeray, however. did
little talking but much eating. He had
recently recovered from a severe attack
of typhoid fever, which left him with a
ravenous appetite, while the dinner was
exceptionally good.
Charlotte looked on in wonder at his
feats, and the surprise gradually changed
to disgust. One more idol had turned
to clay. If she had known the modern
law of the conservation of forces, her
charity might not have failed her.

Concerning Authors.

There is an abundance of writer's for
the press, and to illustrate this fact, I
may say that the editor of Harper's
Magazine has already sufficient num-
Der Of accepted articles on hand to serve
for two years. Hence should he not re-
ceive single fresh contribution his sup
ply would last till 1884. The rejected
matter, often of interest and real value,
which is daily declined by magazines,
newspapers, and booksellers, would All
o good-sized wagon. Bonner, of tho
Ledger, has for some years left orders
with his clerks to allow no contribution
to be left for examination. He has his
regular list of writer's, who fill up the
space allotted to them, and thus the pa
per is made up without any new con-
tributors. Authorship and writing for
the press is now overdone, and there are
but few, and these are, indeed, lucky
who can make a living at it. It is said
that the magazine writer's are not an
enviable class. They may receive 800
for an article, but it is 80 difficult to get
an article published that they are not
much better than a mere newspaper
Bohemian. A leading magazinist Is said
to rate his income from this source at
81 200 year, which certainly is nothing
to boast Of. Ihave read in the newspa-
pers that young man who had fitted
himself for Journalism by college ed
ucatlon, had recently engaged to tend
bar in saloon at 50 per week. This
may be intended as q piece of humor.
but there is sad truth underlying it,
