The land Of Celestials still boasts OF
the most wonderful bridge in the world,
and this, according to travellers, is the
bridge of Lagang, over an arm Of the
sea in China. It is built in a similar way
as the bridge of Babylon, but entirely Of
stone. It's length is said to be twenty
six thousand Paris feet, and comprises
three thousand arches, or rather openings
of pillars. These are not overspread
with arches, but there arc placed above
them large slabs of stone, which form
the roadway, seventy feet broad. The
distance of the pillars Is nearly seventy
four and half feet, the latter being
seventy feet high and fifteen broad, and
Strengthened with stone facings of the
form Of triangular prisms, which extend
over the whole height Of the pillars up
to the trayersed slabs The latter lof
course more than seventy feet long,) ex-
tend in breadth to fifteen feet, and have
niue feet in thickness. The parapet is a
balustrade, and every. pillar supports a
pedestal on which lion, twenty zone feet
long and made Of one block Of marble,
is placed.

ei Being haunted Lately the house was
rather full, and q visitor. an eminent
London clergyman, was put into the
famous haunted room. His host did not
tell him Of the fact that the room was
haunted, thinking, no doubt. that his
religious character would be ! sufficient
guarantee against any disturbance Of his
slumbers through visits from the spirit
world. AT the same time ne felt little
anxious, and was greatly relieved the
next morning to find the reverend gen
tieman at breakfast with as CHEEKY an air
Of successful slnmber as possible The
next morning, and the next, he came
down with the same Iight-hearted aspect
which only those who have enjoyed
peaceful dreams can wear At last the
host thought he might safely mention to
ms clerical visitor that he had been
sleeping in = hannted-room, and CON
graduated him on having seen nothing
out Of the common.
Seen nothingln replied the visitor
'soh, stop bit, though / did see some
thing
There was a grave silence round the
breakfast-table; all clatter was hushed,
and every eye was turned upon the
speaker.
Yes, yes, of course, the clergyman
resumed; on the very first night which
passed here was Weakened in the mid
die Of the night by what seemed like q
touch upon my shoulder, and, on look
ing up, saw the figure of man in the
room.
Here, to the intense horror Of the
whole company, the clergyman gave a
very correct description of the particular
apparition which always honored this
room with its wanderinos
How could you bear it2' What
did you dor were questions which inn
mediately succeeded upon the awe-struclx
silence.
Dor replied the clergyman, why,
asked him for q subscription to my next
sunday-school picnic, and the spectre
vanished immediately"

Only /" Mother"

Up among the New Hampshire hills re-
sides family which consisted of father,
mother and two grown-up daughters.
They are poor, and the daughters by
working out have supported their par
ents, who were intirm and aged. The
mother recently died. When the under
talxer came to perform the duties of his
Office, the father was asked the name OF
his wife. The reply came, Mother Z
No other name could be recollected. The
daughters were called in, and the same
answer was received. They had never
known their parent by any other name
than Mother" This is literal fact.

The French Lady's Little Story.

After Oliver Wendal Holmes had
introduced Nine. Greville, the French
novelist, the other evening, to u Bos-
ton audience, she related little sto-
ny III English to illustrate how she
came to master the language. "Once
upon a time," she said, "there was g.
young man who fell in love with q
young lady. They loved each other
deeply. Thei: eyes were indeed very
eloquent; but they could not conv erse
together on account Of her being O.,
French woman and he being @ Span
lard. They were parted, Many years
ran before they could meet again.
And when they met there was G. great
surprise in store for them. He ad-
dressed her in French, and
she spoke to- him in Spanish.
Love had been their master, and they
had learned each others language in
order to understand each other
There is something like that between
you and me. The first English book
that read was something very heavy
and ponderous. geographical and tech
nical, about the United States. Heavy
as it was, it gave me such g. yearn-
ing toward you and your country that
always after I wanted to have not
English, but American, books. Idon't
think that ever more genuine tears
than mine were shed upon Fenimore
Cooper's Spy" Her lecture which
followed this pretty introduction was
in French.

Close Calculation.

One may readily believe that STRAIT
aegem is sometimes required in dealing
with an animal, as large as some sea-
side cottages. In Mr.. O Shea's ''Leaves
from the Life Of a Special Correspon-
dent" is to be found an account Of the
artifice which enabled him to escape
from very embarrassing situation.
He says:
A young friend once asked me to
show him some elephants in undress,
and took him along with me, having
first borrowed IN apron, and filled it
with oranges. This he was to carry
while accompanying me to the stable;
but the moment we reached the door,
the herd set up such a trumpting-they
had scented the fruit--that he dropped
the apron and it's contents, and scut-
tied off like a scared rabbit, leaving
me alone.
There were eight elephants, and when
picked up the oranges, found / had
five-andtwenty. Walked deliberate

two oranges in succession to number

So I went to the door and began
over again, as before. Thrice I went

Every elephant in the herd had his

peeled it, and sucked it myself. 1t was
most amusing to notice the way those
elephants nudged each other and shook
their ponderous sides. They thorough
ly entered into the humor OF the thing.

AGRICULTURE, ETC.

IMPORTANCE OF TEE FARMS.
The agricultural interest Of the country de-
inands just recognition and liberal ENCOURAGE
ment. It sustains with uncertainty and unfaiI-
lug strength our nations prosperity by the prod
ucts Of its steady TOLL and bears its full share OF
the burden Of taxation without complaint. Our
agricnlturists have but slight personal repre-
seEt;tion in the councils OF the nation, and are
generally content with the humber duties Of
citizenship and willing to trust to the bounty Of
nature for reward of their labor But the
magnitude and value of this Industry is appre-
clatcd when tho statement is made that OF orr
total annual exports moro than three fourths
are the products OF agriculture and Of our total
popul atton nearly cne-half are exclusively en-
GaSeu III that occupation. The department of
agriculture was created for the purpose OF &C.
qulrlng and diffusing among the people useful
information respecting the subjects it has in
charge, and are doing in the cause Of intelligent
ana a! progressive farming by the collection OF
STATISTICS. by testing the value and usefulness Of
new seeds and plants and distributing such as
are found desirable among agriculturists. This
and other powers and duties with which this de-
partment Is invested are Of the utmost import
ance, and, II wisely exercised, must be of great
benefit to the country. The aim of Onr beuefi-
cent government is the Improvement Of the
their condition. Hereby our agriculturists should
not be neglected. The instsumentality estab-
lished in aid of the farmers of the land should
ment o. it's purpose, but those for whose benefit
1t has been adopted should be encouraged to
avail themselves fully Of its advantages.
CATTLE DISEASES.
The prohibition of the importa ton Into several
countries OF certain Of our animals and their
products, based upon the suspicion that health
Is endangered in their use and consumption
eugzests the Importance of such precautions for
the protection Of our stock of all kinds against
disease as will disarm suspicion OF danger and
cause the removal Of such an injurious prohibi-
ton. II the laws now in operation are insuf-
nc1ent to accomplish this protection I recon-
mend their amendment to cover the necessl-
ties Of the situation, and commend to the con-
s1deration of congress the suggestions contained
in the report Of the commissioner of agriculture
calculated to increase the value and efficiency OF
this leDartmenT.
