Diseases of Live Stock.

Like In the human race, epidemics
among live stock are frequent and de-
structive. They come, nobody knows
now or whence, and pass away, nobody
can tell why. History records so many
OF those and we all remember enough
OF them, that it is useless 10 dilate upon
them. This being so, it is hardly to be
expected that beasts will escape similar
visitations. Yet some people seem to
expect this, FOR when an epidemic
breaks out among the beasts of the field
It produces about as much commOtion
in the community rs the prevalence of
cholera among bipeds. Every sort of
resource is had to couuteract it. County
conventions are held; legislatures APP
point commissioners TO investigate the
distemper and fiud out remedy or q
preventive; impracticable laws are de-
manded, and the whole agricultural
community etfervesces as to what is to
be dene for their safety. Suddenly the
epidemic vanishes; the discussion as to
the causes which produced it, filling
newspapers and periodicals with macs
of specNlation which not one person in
2 hundred ever reads, as suddenly
comes to an end. All seem TO be will
ling to let bygones be bygones, and
drop, mem con-, the all-sbsorbing ques-
ton.
In the common course Of things we
must expect to be visited by these cpl
denies. Horses, cattle, sheep, and
swine, according to their nature, viii
get sick and die, entailing less which
all who own beasts must submit to;
and when an epidemic assails them, il
is useless to discuss whether it came
from abroad or is indigenous, or where
it originally appeared. The first con-
sideration should be to study its dag
nosis and apply a remedy. It must be
remembered that there are losses and
misfortunes in every business. Unto
ward circumstances cannot at all times
be avoided or controlled. Germantown

A Bridge Twenty.One Miles Long.
[NeW Orlenns PicaYnne. 1

On Sunday party, composed mainly
of railroad officials and contractors in
terested in the building OF the New Or
leans and Northeastern railroad, took
a trip across Lake Pontchartrain tol the
purpose of examining the great trestle-
work now III course of construction.
The entire length of the trestlework
when completed will be twenty-one
and a half miles. The distance COM
prises thirteen and q half miles from
Peoples Avenue Canal 10 the Point,
five and three-quarters miles across
the lake, and two and four-tenths miles
from the north shore. All of the pill.
ing along the southern shore, with the
exception of about one mile, has been
driven, and this division will be COM
pleted by July 1st. Of the pillng in the
lake two and quarter miles have been
driven, and one mile of the work Is
completed. The trestle on the north
shore has been finished some time, and
the rails are laid nine miles, or to Pearl
river. The trestlework is all construct
ed after the same plan, except that the
cross-ties are further apart IN the APP
proaohes than in the bridge proper,
and that the timber used on the latter
is all creCsoted. The description OF the
bridge Will answer for the other work.
This structure, which will probably
be the longest of the kind in the Unit d
States, will also be one of the most
substantial. Experts in railroad build
ing pronounce the sections already fin-
ished the most perfect specimen of tres
tie construction they have seen. The
piles average sixty feet in length, and
are driven about forty feet. In each
bent there are four piles, and the bents
are fifteen feet apart The caps OF the
piles are twelve by fourteen inches, and
the stringers arc six by sixteen inches,
and three of them on each aide laid on
edge. The cross-ties are only four
inches apart, and Oh them are bolted
stringers, which act as guard rails. The
ties form a secure decking to the tres
tIework, upon which the wheels of
car could run without danger of leaving
the bridge on account of the guard
rails.
The treslework, from beginning to
end, is one Of the grandest undertak-
iugs connected with railroad building
in the south. Some idea of its magni-
tude may be formed from the state
ment that the quantity OF lumber re-
quirod, outside OF the piles, IS over
100000 feet. There will be S,161
bents, of four piles each, or 1894 piles.
