The Proposed Illinois Central
Bridge at Cairo.

CHICAGO, I'LL, March 3-In order
to Ii arn the details of the plans so lar
as determined, for the new bridge to
be built across the Ohio river near
Cairo, mention of which was made IN
these dispatc hes last night, a reporter
called on General Manager JeffeTy,
who, in reply t. the questions, said 4:
1.-THE bridge will be built entirely OF
steel. and will rect on solid piers OF
masonry al out 40 feet high from the
bottom OF the foundation to the cap
STONE. At least three OF the spans
will be 500 feet in length, andThC
length of the remaining spans Will de
pend upon the relative cheaAhees o
span work and masonry. 1t will moi
he a cantilever or suspension bridge
hut a truss bridge OF the heavies
and most approved pattern. 1t is mo-
vet settled whether it will be bull
with fixed spans W with one draw
span that will be decided by the re
suit of the conference with the Wa
Department. The length of the bridg'
will be about 5000 feet, and in add
ton there will be an aggregate o
I about O,OOU 1851 OF iIOu WOAh dp
proaches on both sides ascending at s
grade Of about forty feet to the mile t.
the main bridge. 1t win be a single
track bridge, and l am not exaggerst
ing when l say Il at it will be one o
the greatest engineering feats Of the
country. You see there is a differ
ence of about fifty feet between toe
high and low water level at Cairo
There is an extensive bottom at the
confluence Of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, across which the Illinois Cen
trail extends a distance Of elk miles OF
the Illinois side Of the river. On the
Kentucky side this 'bottom" extend'
for four or ivs miles TO the foot hille
SO that, in high water, there is moth
ing above the surface except the Hi
nois Central tracks and the tree tops
Under such circumstances 1t will be
seen that it is an enterprise Of no or
dina,y difficulty. 1 do not expect
that there will be any objection made

War Against the knights OF Labor.
SPRINGFIELD, o., March 3.-There is
much excitement here, caused by the
action Of the East Street Champion
Reaper Works last night. 1t was q
sudden and wholesale discharge OF
several hundred employees known TO
belong to the Knights Of Labor
or o.her trades union ORGANIZATIONS.
Nj. Whitley, tho president OF the
company, Gays: 1--WE we're compelled
to take this course in the cause OF hui
man liberty. So far as we have OBJ
served the operation Of this organiza
ton in other cities it has been one OF
terror, intimidation and violence, and
it seems TO he a question whether a
factory shall have all or non Of lis

iieve such a course viii be for the
good Of the country" They are adj

About Shoes.

The immediate predecessors of India rubber shoes, for wear in the cities where paths were prepared during the snowy seasons, were articles technically described as "galoches." They were, in fact, leather overshoes, save that the pro-
 lection came to the sole of the foot rath- CT than to other parts. The prototype of the shoes was the ancient "clog," which,
 indeed, was worn as a shoe or foot cover ing, instead of an extraneous protector.
 Ia later years the "patten" of England was kindled to the "galoche." There was always something natty in the appearance of this article, and the facility with which it could be donned was in its favor as well. Yet, woe to the individ-
 ual who attempted the use of new pair
 upon icy walks where the hard and smooth soles beguiled frequent downfall Ing to the uninitiated. The original vul- canized rubber shoes had leather bot tom, and it constituted an objection hard to overcome because they were so slip pery. The use of bottoms came as a benison to the appreciation of this species of footwear. aud Leather Reporter.

A Glimpse of Shanghai.

The conservatism of the Chinese char
 acter and the extremest point of provin- cialism is instanced in the story told of the residents within the walls of the na- tive city of Shanghai, writes the Shang- hai correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat. The city has three gates the north, south, and west ones-and many of the people living at the south gate have never been as far as the north gate and could not understand the dialect of the inhabitants there if they did go. One nation could not differ more from another than the Chinese from the Japan csc if they lived 2O,OOO miles apart in- stead of only 200 miles, and one is all wrong if he thinks that having seen Jap- anese cities he can know what Chinese one will be like. While the Japanese are thes cleanest people on the face of the earth and far ahead of the English for eternally bathing and scrubbing them selves, the Chinese are the very dirtiest
 The trim, exquisite little toy houses of euC odpauCSo aloAS W1uc oIleCtS dIC Iuc greatest contrast to the filthy abodes of the Chinese, with their dirt floors, mud and bamboo-woven walls, and streets often less than five feet wide from wall to wall Overhead is forest of gilt let ters, gorgeously colored signs and ban ners that fairly hide the sky. The mar TOW streets, with shop fronts all open ! above a low counter, seem like passages in some fantastic exhibition hall with ! booths or "spaces" close together. Mere crevices in the walls correspond to alleys,
 and looking up them or down the tunnel of street before one it is easy to realize what is meant by 'swarms of people, or 'smasses of human beings" All through l old Shanghai the people are packed as if 1 at mass-meeting, and one has to dodge into shops or f1atten himself against a wall at the constant cries of the coolies carrying loads by poles or yokes on their shoulders. Buckets of water and gar bage, bundles of dried fish, bodies of dressed hogs, collins of the dead and se- dan chairs of the living crowded us into the wall and rubbed against us during a progress through the handsomest and most important four-feet-wide street of the city. The people were all too busy and too stolidly indifferent to gather and stare at us, or follow us ill train, as is the happy Japanese fashion of treating a strange foreigner, and we really felt twinges of wounded vanity at this neg | lect,

A Stimulant and a Narcotic.

What meaning should we attach to stimulant may be defined as that which ministers to healthy activities, support ing the processes of life in health and restoring them in disease A stimulant acts chiefly in removing or counteracting depressing infuences-it may be pain, fatigue, or morbid sensibiEty. Thus mustard, applied externally in infamma- tion, is at times true stimulant, and tends to restore healthy vital action by freeing the circulation and the nerves from the depressing influences of pain. A cup of tea, also, is in its place true stimulant, restoring the natural tone of the central nervous system. On the other hand, narcotic is ass.ss1stance s.;1 which by poison2iiszss z enc nervous system nnrr0ouuces a gradual paralysis of vital actions. Under narcotics, intelligence, volition, reason, consciousness, even life itself are lost; and these are the out ward and visible signs of a process talk ing place within the nervous system, where the powers of life are stubbornly fighting against poison, and yielding as it were inch by inch to its invasion. Stimulation, then, is healthy pro- cess, while narcosis, the condition in- duced by narcotics, is essentially an un- healthy state, being a paralysis of na- tural activities, more or less.-Nineteenth Gont,y,.,

Increase of the AnglO.SaXOn.

The Latin races, that is, France, Italy, and Spain, have ceased to be, whatever any of them may be destined yet to be- come again, the mighty factors in the worlds progress which of old they were. They minister exquisitely to the comfort, the luxury, the culture and the pictur sequences of life; but the aptitude for foreign commerce which they show is comparatively slight, and in the coloniz- ing business of humanity they only play a subordinate part Moreover, their pop ulation, when compared with the popula- tion of the Anglo-Saxon and the Teutonic races, is diminishing. Thus, in period of little less than one hundred years, from 17ss to 1885 the aggregate popula~ tions of France, Spain and Italy have only increased from 1000, 900 to S2,- 500, 600. On the other hand, the popu- lations of Germany and England during this period have each trebled. Germany in 17ss had a population of about 15,- 900, 900; in 1885 it has increased to 45,- OOO,O0O. Great Britain in the same way had in 17ss population of 12, 900, 900; in 1885 the figure is se,ooo, 900. An-th- CT country largely, but not exclusively, populated by the Anglo-Saxon race America-has in less than a hundred years increased nearly thirteen times that is, from less th.n 1000, 900 in 1790 to nearly 60, 1000, 900 in 1885. Finally 1t must not be forgotten that Canada, Au~- tralia, Sou h America, as well as other British dependencies, collectively, con- tain population of some 10, 900, 900, chiefly of Anglo-Saxons, and there Ia tvcry reason to believe that the Hecolop- nent and increase o. this population will be rapid.

The Librarian of Congress,

Ainsworth R. Spofford is the greatest librarian of the United States, and I doubt whether he has his equal in the world. He knows to a phamplet the hundreds of thousands of publications contained in the national library, and he can tell you at moments notice every thing published on any subject of which you wish to know. He is invaluable to the Representative or Senator who wishes to get up great speech embodying many figures and profound reasoning, and I doubt not many of the brightest effusions of the Congressional Record come from his inspiration. He is also great friend to the student and litterateur, and he has helped many struggling brain to promi- hence.
 He is a curious-looking man. As dark as Spaniard, he has black hair and whiskers, mixed with grey. His eyes are like jet, and with his short, 1.-the, wiry frame, every atom of which is mus cle, he is the busiest man in the Capitol DuilulnS- HIS Worh IS thoroughly Sys- tematized, too, and he uses the shorthand man and messenger to help him in his many duties. He can dictate as we'll as most men can write, and h1s ordinary conversation which IS usually slow and measured, would not look bad in print | He is now 60 years old, and Is New Hampshire man by birth.-American | RaoI.,nnLar
