Bremen, which has hitherto only been a
seaport by name its outport being Bremen
haven-has made up It's mind to become
one in reality by making direct canal to
the sea. This is to be done by deepening
and widening the River Weser, so that sea-
going vessels drawing twenty-seven feet,
with 600 feet OF keel. can go through and
meet and pass each other with ease. The
difficulties of the work chiefly exist in the
fact that the river makes tortuous course,
and that 1T will be difficult to straighten il
ut points where tidc-water will materially
interfere with the work. The latter is to
be done ut au expense not exceeding go
900, 900 marks, or s., 900. and to be com
pleted within six years. Bremen Is fifty
miles inland.-Phiiadelphid Telegraph.

a. custer There is In progress a revival
meeting, AZ which man became Jealous
because the Rev. Andrew Faulkner asked
al tne other members OF the church to lead
I'D prayer except his wife. He told the
pastor OF the unfair discrimination, and
warned nm that II he failed to ask bis bet
ter haif TO lead Off at the next meeting he
would proceed to put "bead" on his
reverepdship. The good minister failed to
see the Justice OF the demand, and ne
elected TO importune the fellows wife TO
lead whereupon at the close OF the meet

istes to the preacher q chastisement for bis
neglect. But the minister was equal to

February =, 1883.
We heard this morning OF the death OF
Mr.. II. Il. Watkins, of this county. No
particulars have been received. but it is
thought that he killed himself with strych-
nine, as bottle with that label on it was
found in his pocket. Inquiries have been
instituted in Charlottesville TO ascertain if
he bought any OF the poison there. Mr.
Watkins was about fifty years OF age, and
leaves wife and children.
The approaching spring elections are
agitatiDg the minds OF our people, and
from appearances there wIl be no lack OF
candidates for the several offices.
The wheat is looking badly on account OF
the extremely cold weather immediately

River Rlplets.

The recent explosions of boilers of
steam vessels will undoubtedly he used as
text by the Supervising Inspector of
Steam Vessels, and by the Secretary Of
the Treasury, TO recommend more strin-
gent laws for inspection. One of the
plans suggested is that the civil service
system shall be extended to the steamboat
service, and the most rigorous cxamina-
tons he required of all who are permitted
to enter any of the grades of that service
One radical defect in the existing system
is that the supervising Inspector General
has practically no control over the subor
dinate Inspectors; that the latter are to
often appointed for the political reasons.
Another trouble with the steamboat ser
vice is that the law provides that it shall
be conducted in accordance with regula
tons prepared annually by the so called
Board of Inspectors. Congress has thus
delegated to the hands of few men prac-
tically to legislate to the steam vessels.
This hoard is n cumbrous one Its meet
ings are only annual, and if bad rcgu
lation needs revision. 1t can not be chang
ed until the next annual meeting. The
safety of the lives of passengers on steam
vessels, many connected with the service
in high positions. think it inadequatelv
protected by law.
Latest advices from Eau Claire, Wis.
says that the Chippewa River continues
lower. Rats are running slowly and
there is not sufficient water to do any
thing at Beef Slough. 1t is doubtful if
over 100000 feet of logs will be RATED at
Beef Slough Logs are running at the
rate of 100000 feet per day to Beef

The Rock Island Lumber and Manufae.
turing company is an enterprising institu-
ton, and is source of great benefit to
the business interests of Rock Island
Their latest move is to build number OF
tenement houses for their employees who
now live in Davenport. Three have been
erected already, and this morning work
was commenced with the intention OF
building twelve additional houses. David
Stepheps has the contract for the stone
work. The houses will be 26x14 feet, two
stories high, with good cellars. There
will be five rooms to each house, which
will give ample accommodations to an
average family. As soon as the houses
are completed several of the men who are
now residents of Davenport will become
citizens of Rock Island with their fami-
lies. the location of the dwellings is on
Twenty seventh street and Sixth avenue.
Let the good work 60 on. There are a
great many people who find employment
in this city. that have their homes in Dav-
export, simply because they cannot find
dwelling houses here. The Rock Island
Lumber and Manufacturing company
should he heartily commended for their
action

Birds, Feathers and Ornaments.

PIumage will supersede flowers next
season, and will be used in every way
milliners can devise. There will be en-
tire bonnets, caps and turbans covered
with feathers stripped from the bird and
put on singly in fanciful and most un-
natural fashions; there are bands of
feathers for trimmings, feather crowns
and feather brims for parts of bonnets,
and there are small ornaments made up
entirely of feathers, such as miniature
Gallo cock scarcely two inches long, a
white macaw or cockatoo three inches
in length, but an exact copy of the real
bird, or dwarf pea-fowl, with tail
spread and showing the eye part of its
plumage; each of these is provided with
pin, and is to be stuck in the scarf OF
rosette for decoration. But above all
else the natural bird is preferred, and
swallows are said to take precedence OF
all other birds; but one swallow does
not make trimming for hat, for just
back of it is placed a cluster of many
wings, enough; indeed, for flock Of
swallows.
These groups of wings are very effect
i've trimmings placed ON the left side OF
a Henri Trois hat, beginning just at the
front and being thickly massed all the
way along the left side to the back,
with their pointed ends standing up
against or above the crown. Another
fashion is that of making fancy plu-
mage by taking the head and neck of a
bird and adding to it some tail feathers,
or cluster of wings. or an aigrette OF
slender plumes. Again single head
is split in two from the point of the beak
backward, and made to serve for two
sets of plumaee. Next in favor after
swallows are grouse, pheaSssnts, par
tridges and pigeons, as all these have
the gray and brown standings so largely
represented in the new goods; ruffled
grouse, sea-swallows, wild-ducks,
guinea-fowls and other familiar birds
are placed beside the rarest South Amer
lean hummingsbirds, mpians and the
brilliant bird-of-paradise. The spirited
aigrettes made of heron feathers arc
stuck in wing clusters, or in tufts OF
breast feathers: sometimes six wings,
each of different color, are punched
together, with long aigrette lin the
| centre. While these fanciful feathers
prevail, ostrich feathers are by nc
means abandoned, but even these beau
tiful plumes are not used in their natu-
raj grace, but are cut off, curled, and in
tips are combined with clusters of wings
