FIRST IN THE FIELD.

The Democratic Executive Co m nit
tee of the 3rd congressional district has
called convention to assemble in New
Orleans the last week in February,
next, for the purpose of nominating
n candidate for Congress in that d is
trict. The call furnishes no special rea-
son for nominating candidate Sc far
in advance of the election in Novem-
Der, nor do we know of. any, except
perhaps that the third is q very pecu-
liar district politically, and this step is
taken to cement more perfectly the dis
cortlant elements which existed in the
party during the campaign of 1880.
The nominee will have ample timo to
study and prepare his case, at all events;
but may, like the small boy running
too far to jump a ditch, break down be-
fore he gets to the polls. Perhaps, how
ever, Mr.. Acklen would furnish a bond
to get there, sound in wind and fresh
as one of Oscar Wildc's slconinen sun
flowers

hight from the base, pier 5, IA feet, and
pier 3, 43 feet. Piers 4, 5 and are
built flat, with round ends, and stand
with the ends to the current. The
base Of each squared measures II by
81 feet at the base, tapering upward to

has base of 81 feet ending with 80
feet at the top. More than 800, 900
brick, $500 barrels of cement and n sand

piers.
The whipple truss is used in the

plan, unknown to us by name. The
bridge was designed by Col. Smith,
the contractor. Mr.. Thos. Rogers, of
the firm of Rogers & Scully, gave his
personal attention to tho masonry, from
moulding the brick to laying the cop
ing, which last duty he performed him.
self. Mr.. c. j. Houser, of st. Louis,
an experienced bridge builder, superin-
erintended the erection of the super
structure and gave the work his undi-
Vided personal attention. In the capac-
ity Of agent for the contractor, Capt.
+. ID. Moore had supervision Of the
entire work. Capt. Moore, besides
being graduated at Bowdoin College,
has had large experience in civil
engineering. 1t was he who had
charge of the bodybuilding depart
ment Of the Cincinnati Southern road,
position of great responsibility and
requiring the best engineering talent.
The bridge will be completed within
a couple of weeks, and though present
ing no imposing appearance at a dis
lance, will impress the visitor passing
through it as a model of strength COM
bined with an airy gracefulness and
symmetry worthy Of study and admi.
ration. In pleasant weather, on Sun
days especially, it is thoroughfare
thronged with visitors, who seem
never to,tire inspecting its proportions
and gazing off at the river which
miles up and down and nearly divided
equi. distant by the bridge. 1t is at
once gateway to the Pacific and to
matrimony-to commerce and to court
ship. May it never be the scene OF
disaster, as it VIII be the resort of
many weary, bleeding hearts longing
for consolation and rest!

A bill to appropriate Il certain amount
of money to build Postum Fork levce
has been introduced in the House by
Congressman blanchard. There was a
Postum Fork tcvcc in this district, cut
during the war, the rebuilding of
which would be Of immense value to
all the section of country embraced in
several parishes cast of the Ouachita
river but this is not the lcvcc, we pre-
sumo, for which the bill of Mr.. Blanch
ard is intended to secure aid. However,
since Mr.. Blanchard's bill, nor any
other of similar local character is ever
likely to become n law, otis of no con-
sequence as Toots was wont to say,
which Postum Fork is meant.

and after standing around with his

custom, to take it out and read it.
Cant let you see it, Jehiel,' said
the postmaster, government has is

THE INVENTOR OF THE
WHEELBARROW.

1t takes a great man to do
little thing sometimes.
Who do you think invented
that very simple thing called a
wheelbarrow ? Why, no less a
man than Leonardo da Viuci.
and who was he?
He was a musician, poet, pain
ter, architect, sculptor, physlolo-
gist, engineer, natural historian,
botanist, and inventor, all in one.
He wasn't a jack at all trades and
master of none either. He was
real master of many arts, and a
practical worker, besides.
When did he live?
Somewhere about the time that
Colum bus discovered America.
And where was he born?
In the beautiful city of Florence,
iu Italy.
Perhaps some ofyou may feel a
little better acquainted with him
when l tell you that it was Leon
ardo da Vinci who painted one Of
the grandest pictures in the
world 'The Last Supper'-a pic
ture that has been copied many
times and engraved in several
styles, so that almost every one
has an idea Of the arrangement
and position at the table OF the
figures of our Lord and his dis
ciples; though 1 am told that
without seeing the painting itself
no one can form a notion of how
grand and beautiful it is.
And only to think Of the thou
sands of poor, bard-working
Americans who really own, in
their wheelbar-ow, an original
work of Leonardo da Vinci!

SIGNIFICANT SIGNs.-To caf at
friends house about dinner time and
find him absent is = sign you viii be
disappointed.
To drop hot sealing-wax on your
fingers is sign you will be angry.
To meet a boiling horse on the
pavement implies that you are going to
run.
To dream Of being run over BY
6re-engines is often a sign that you
have had pork chops for supper.
To pick up money is lucky
If a man says: I hardly like to
ask you, old fellow, but it is sign
he wants to borrow money.
To collide with three consecutive
lamp-posts and fall over an apple stall
is a sign you are not a good templar-
To lose money or jeWe!ry is un-
lucky.
