Condition Of the Aqueduct Bridge.
THE REPORT OF ENGINEER ALERT SENT TO TIL

SENATE.
The President pro tempore Of the Senate to-
day submitted letter from the Secretary of
War transmitting the report of Engineer g. T.
Albert, in response to q Senate resolution direct
ing q thorough inspection OF the Aqueduct
bridge, TO ascertain It's present condition, espe-
cially as to its safety for ordinary travel when
the AQueduct is loaded with water.
Mr.. Aberts report is very comprehensive and
complete, giving the exact condition Of each
span and part OF the bridge. As to the wood
work he reports much OF It as rotten" or defec-
flooring, but also to the beams and supports.
The report concludes as follows: "The strength
of q bridge is determined by its weakest part.
The factor of safety of the weakest part OF the
aqueduct bridge is found in the top chord,
bridge i is loaded with water r and aen w itS
the moving load. It i therefore
evident that when thus loaded the
bridge cannot be pronounced to be safe for q
moving load of ninety pounds per square foot,
and that for the security OF ordinary travel
be necessary to prevent accident"

The poppy-bcd; the locust-tree;

When kline, breast-deep, stand in the stream;
And thy world pauses in Il dream!
Beyond, tho uplands; thon the hills,
Where. interlacing creep the ril!s;

There, fields with opuient increase;
Below, the valley, stretching far
And dim to the horizons bar.

From out the lairs and lives OF men.

The New York Tribune notices an
improvement which has been intro
duced into railroad travelling by the
Canadian Pacific. This road has fitted
up number Of cars with baths. This
is a decided step in advance, and it Is
not little surprising that Mr.. Pail
man did not do the same thing long
ago. The need Of such rCirgshmcut as
bath alone furnishes must have been
felt ty all who havc occasion to make
long railway Journeys. So general is
this want that bathing cdis would be
certain 10 pay well, and now that our
ueighb0r5 nave introduced them il is
to be hoped that they will soon appear
on American railways, aud especially
on the Pacific routes.
