Beyond the Mountains.

Beyond the mountains-ah! beyond
How fair in fancy CLEANS
The valley with its spreading fields,
The CLINT Of winding streams!
Beyond the purple mountains hight
Stray all our happy dreams.
We sit beneath the moaning pine,
BY waves that pass our door;
We say, this scene is fair, and yet
We sigh for something more;
And long to pass with eager feet
The tar-of mountains Ger
At eve the night bird family sings,
In murmurs sweet and low;
The new moons slender crescent gives
The sky tender glow.
How fair the stars, how warm the wind,
How soft the rivers flow,
But there, where longing fancy flies,
And wayward hearts still turn,
A deeper music charms the soul,
The red stars brighter burn;
And laughing streams 60 leaping down
From hooks o'erhung with fern.
When heavy clouds above US roll,
Blue skies are over there;
When storm winds fret around our caves
There zephyrs whisper fair.
Beyond the mountains-ahl beyond
Love fills the sunny air

How the Brooklyn Bridge Cables We're
Made.

After the towers had been built and
the anchorages made ready, then came
the strangest work of all TO make
the cables and put them over the tow
ers would be a difficult matter. Very
likely it could not be done at all. So
the cables were made Just where they
hang one small Wire at time. The
cables are not chains with links, nor
are they twisted like ropes. They are
bundles of straight wires laid side by
side and bound together by wires
wound tightly around the outside.
They called the work weaving the
cable.
At the Brooklyn anchorage was
placed a powerful steam-engine, and
on the top Of the anchorage We're plac-
ed two large wheels, and wifi the AID
of proper machinery the engine caused
these wheels to turn forward or back
ward. From each wheel was stretch
ed a steel rope to the top of the Brook
lvn tower, over the river, over the 9TH
er tower and down to the New York
anchorage. Here it passed over anoth-
er wheel and then stretched all the
way back again. The ends were fas-
tened together, making an endless rope,
and when the engine moved, the ropes
travelled to and fro over the river
For this reason they were called the
travellers"
There were besides these travellers,
two more ropes placed side by side.
en- these We're laid short pieces of oak
thus making a foot-bridge on which
the worlmen could cross the river
There were also other ropes for sup
porting platforms, on which the work
men stood as the weaving went on
On each traveller was hung an iron
wheel, and as the traveller moved, the
wheel went with it.
1t took only ten minutes to send two
wires over the river in this way The
men on the foot-bridge and on the
platforms suspended from the other
ropes guided the two wires into place
and thus the cables were woven, little
by little two slender steel wires each
time, and carefully laid in place, till
5434 wires We're bound together in
huge cable, fifteen and three-quarter
inches in diameter. The work was
fairly started by the 18th OF June, 1877,
and the last wire was laid October 5,
1873. There are four cables, each
3578l feet long, and if all the wires in
the four cables were placed in line
they would reach over fourteen thous-
and miles
The work was long and dangerous
Sometimes the wire would break and
fall into the water, and an hour or
more would be spent in hauling it up
and starting once more. The men ON =
the foot-bridge or on the cradles high
in the air watched every wire as it was
laid into place. TO start and stop the
engine, men stood on the top of the
towers and waved signal flags to the
engineer. Such a mass of wires would
not very easily keep in place, and as
the work went on, number of wires
were bound together into little bundles
or ropes, and at the end all were bound
together into one smooth, round bun
die or cable-St. Nicholas.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Respecting the Report of the Base Ball
Game Bet,ceen Tho Reds of st. Paul and
the BrOrns.
The representative of this end of the
GLOBE was severely taken to task yester-
day for the incorrect report of the base
ball game which occurred in this city en-
Tuesday, and an explanation is in order.
The report which appeared was not writ
ten at this end of the
line, and differed materially from
that which was written here. That there
was entirely too much "kicking" during
the game is an undeniable and painful
fact, but to allege that the kicking" was
done wholly by the Browns is doing our
nine grossjnjustice. Both clubs kicked
and wrangled. The GLOBE, furthermore,
charges the Browns with being too vigor-
GUS in making its protests, and when near
ly every member of the club lifted his
voice-all in one chorus-it was decidedly
displeasing to the large audience present,
to say the least. But that the Browns had
perfect right to protest against the par
tial decisions of the st. Paal umpire, Will
liam Noble, especially in the fourth inning,
no fair minded man can deny. When
strikers called for high ball and were
called out for failing to strike at low balls
or vice versa, it became apparent that the
home club had no possible show
of making another run in the
game, and were compelled either to get a
new umpire or discontinue playing.
When Thos. Mullen began umpiring at
the fifth inning the game assumed an en-
tirely different aspect and was evenly con-
tested to the ninth inning, neither nine
gaining the slightest vantage over the
other. On the ninth inning the umpire
made an error in calling fair foul, result
ing in giving the Reds three more tallies,
viz: An easy fly was struck to O'Brien,
third base, who, in order to make double
play and end the inning, purposely drop
ped the ball, making a forced run, there
being a man on first and another on Sec
ond. He stepped to his bag and then
threw the ball to second, making his dou-
pie play handsomely, but unfortunately
for the success of the play the umpire call
ed it foul, and consequently not man
was played out. The Reds then made
three runs.
The game as a whole was miser-
ably played, the Browns making six
teen errors and the Reds making eleven
errors. That is the Reds made sixteen bases
which they were not entitled to or did not
earn, but on errors of the Browns, and the
Browns made eleven bases on errors made
by the Reds.

The Flour and Wheat Trade.

The Northeastern Miller of the current
week will contain the following:
Extreme dizziness and inactivity contin-
ues to characterize the milling business,
the present week being even little more
f'off' than usual. The production of flour
by the mills of the city will be compare
lively light, but fully large enough to suit
the views of our millers. On Tuesday
there were twelve mills in operation, out
of the twenty two, and the production will
average about 10000 barrels per day,
against $500 barrels last week, the latter
low figure resulting from theweek con-
tanning holiday, The -four markets are
less favorable than week ago, there being
comparatively no inquiry from abroad.
They were apparently picking up to some
extent at the close of last week, but were
again greatly depressed by the break in
wheat at Chicago which followed.
The whe9t stored in Minneapolis eleva-
tors, including the transfer elevator, on
July 10 was 100000 bushels. There were
abont $4,000 bushels in the mills, making
the total amount of wheat in store in the
city 1,737,0o0 bushels, against 1,575,OOO
