The Eighth Wonder Of the
World.

A stranger in New York, standing
on the great Brooklyn Bridge, views
with wonder the beauties of New York
harbor. He sees the great cities on
each side stretching away for miles to
the north, east and west. Beneath his
feet the rapidly running river with
scores of large and small steamboats,
coursing up and down. A large four
mastcd ship, bound for China, is pass,
ing under the great bridge in charge of
tug boat on its way to the sea, all
hands are busy on deck, and as she
passes from under the Bridge the sail
ors give a shout. If this ship arrives
out safely and returns to this port 1t
will be nearly year before she makes
the round trip.
Looking down the bay we see great
steamer going through the Narrows,
bound in an opposite direction, Great
black clouds Of smoke ascend from her
funnel. We know that the stokers
away down In the boiler room are re,
plenishing the fires that are to furnish
the motive power for the great ship,
and must be attended to constantly
for the next ten days.
Apparently at our feet, but over a
mile away, lies Governors Island /: a
picture fresh, green and peaceful. The
old fort, with cannons on top large
enough for a small child to crawl in,
the cannon balls piled in pyramids, the
officers houses and well-kept lawns re-
mind one Of the peep show in paste
board box that he made when child.
At our right we see towering struc-
ture on an island--Bedloe's S Island,
three miles and half away. 1t is diff
icult to realize the distance is so great
as everything stands out clear and
bright on this beautiful spring day.
This large structure is the pedestal for
Bartholoi's great statue Of "Liberty
Enlightning the World" which is to
be one hundred and forty-two feet
high, and will be completed this month.
The engineers and workman who
constructed the great statue will arrive
from France in May, and commence
Hutting in place this great wonder of
sdern times which will tower three

We lind the following evidence OF
alarm in Saturdays Frederick Ne~s :;
ut is decidedly wrong course
which those newspapers are taking that
frequently publish such squibs as this:
"Iu l776 the Irish Parliament voted
men and money to crush the American
revolution. Now America furnishes
ireland with the weapons with which
to fight the English oppressor. II
America thinks she can afford another
war with England just at this time
there is no better way to provoke 1t
than by just such sentiments as the
above"
The great stir to have our cities
guarded by Notifications and our navy
increased is responsible for the above,

exist great while longer. Under Its
present administration the bureau has

decreases. The Congressional commis-
sion created by the last Congress to IN

they are convinced that a Civil Wealth

The report of the commission viii prob
ably recommend that all the functions
and apparatus Of the bureau pertaining
to the taking and reporting Of observa-
tons upon the weather, rise and fall Of
waters, &C., be transferred to a civil
authority and that the army retain
control only Of what relates to military
signals and that branch of the bureaus

and other testimony, including opin-

largely in favor Of civil organization
for this service. General Sheridan de-
clared that he could see no reason why

THE expenditure of public money. The
House has already passed the Mexican
veterans pension bill, the yearly ex-
penso of which is estimated to be over
sloO0,OOO. The bill to increase wild
ow's pensions to $l2 a month has be-
come " law, and the pensions of help
less pensioners is to be increased, The
Invalid Pension COMMITTEES favors taxi
,ng off the limitation of arrears which
promises an enormous increase OF eX-
penditurcs, and the same committee
proposes to pension soldiers who We're
prisoners of war for thirty days, instead
of sixty, the term first agreed upon. -
Then one bill asks that the wives and
children of soldiers who were IN the
Union army and were taken prisoners
by the Indians, shall be pensioned. The
survivors and relics of all the Indian
wars ask for pensions, q certain Con-
gresham asks pensions for all soldiers
and sailors who have attained 62 years,
and deafness is to be compensated for
by higher pension. That is not near
ly all the pension schemes, but lack OF
space forbids me to enumerate.

Westminster is not likely to have a bssc.

man, both Of whom were excellent in their

With these four off, it would be difficult to
get up a first class nine, without employing
players from a distance. To do this would
be quite expensive, yet il is very probable
that the citiz>ns of this city will eNp@nd
