Y, M. G. a. Excursion.

The annual picnic of the Y. NJ. C.
A., of this city which took place yes
terday, was in every sense a success.
The party, some ninety in number,
started on the Clara Parker at nine
o'clock, and enjoyed a pleasant ride
to Young's river falls. Arriving there
they separated into little groups each
enjoying himself or herself TO the full
est. The picnic grounds, which com
prise a scene of great natural beauty
were more than ordinarily attractive
to the excursionists, and when lunch
was spread everybody who had no ne
elected the injunction regarding well
filed baskets was ready with a zest
of appetite that betokened havoc TO
the tempting display of good things
provided. This was more than
enough and the fragments filed
twelve baskets. The picnickers start
ed home at five, and at seven reached
the dock thoroughly satisfied with the
days pleasure and Of the unanimous
opinion that they had "a real good

Bridge Contract Let.

The contract for the six piers com.
prising the stone work for the North
ern Pacific bridge over the Willamette
has been let TO Hon. ID. 7. Thompson
and Z. NJ. Steel, though the papers
have not yet been signed. Cost Of
the stonework will approximate $780,
600. The great work Of getting out
the stone will commence without de-
lay, though it is not likely that any
will be laid in the river before next
spring. The method of constructing
piers is as follows: First, a caisson is
sunk in the river around the spot
where the foundation is to be located,
and the sand within it is pumped out
to the depth of twelve feet. Then
piles will be driven within the caisson
as closely together as possible, and
cut off about twelve feet below the
bed of the river. They will be capped
and cross capped, and then the first
layer of stone will be put on. Thus
the base of the piers will be nearly
ten feet below the river level. The
company will build the superstructure,
0req0niaa.

a Chinese soldiers Rations.


On the banks were several battalions
of infantry, encamped in good tents, all
laid out in frst-class order, properly
pitched and nicely intrenched. The
whole arrangement was on the Euro
pean system. I went ashore among
the tents and saw the evening
meel being served out. The rations
consisted of rice, pork, fat, vegetables,
and fish. Each man got huge bowl
of the mixture. All the men sat down
around the bowl, each with little
basin in his hand and his chop-stick 8
ready for action. There was no cere-
mony. Every soldier filled his cup
and then began to fill his mouth. In
few minutes nothing was to be seen
but chins and chop-sticks moving si-
multaneously. A dead silence had fallen
on the camp, and till the attack on the
rations was over not Chinaman spoke
Then there was movement toward
the camp-fres for hot water to be
poured over the tea leaves, of which
each man seemed to have supply, and
after this camp merriment and talk, for
the serious business of the day is over.
I found the soldiers had had one meal
like that in the early part of the day,
and that the two rations were all they
got, but they were quite contented and
happy, and looked in very good condi-
tion. l learned that one secret of their
happiness was the abundance of pork
fat served out. At Hangchowit appears
that the authorities were more than
usually free with this felicitous accom-
paniment of Chinese soldiers dinner

A Diver in a sunken shaver.

1.-TWO mates of mine were hired some
years ago to go down to ship on the
coast of Brazil. They found her q
full-rigged vessel, but SO closely bat
tened down they couldn't do anything
with her; SO they went up and got
tools, and. going down, finally pried up
the hatch-cover. It came off with
rush, and in moment they seemed
inclosed in cloud of flame, and the
next they saw they were in crowd of
persons that seemed to be walking
about, moving slowly up as if they were
swimming for the surface. One of the
divers tainted dead away, and the other
came near it. You see she was a SLAYER.
and the poor fellows had been locked
In and went down with her..
s'But how about the fire." asked the
reporter.
"Oh, that was what they call phos-
phorescence, replied the diver. sAs
