The First Bridge.

When was the first bridge constructed,
and what was it made of? am not able
to answer that question very definitely,
but l think 1 know what the first bridge
was made of. 1t was not of wood, nor of
stone, nor of brick, nor of iron, nor of
rope. 1t was made entirely Of monkeys
live monkeys. A troop of these ami
mails in South American forest one day
came to stream which was too wide for
them to leap across. They climbed q
high tree, where the first monkey selected
a suitable branch, wound his long power
full tail about it, and let himself hang
head downward. The second monkey
running down the body of the first wound
its tail about its neck and shoulders, and
let himself hang head downward. "A
third and fourth added themselves in
succession, and others after them, till the
chain reached the ground. Then the
lowest monkey, striking his hands on the
earth, set the living pendulum in motion,
and increased this motion by a swing
again at each oscillation, till it swung SO
far across the stream that he was able to
seize branch of tree on the other side.
The line of monkeys now constituted a
bridge by which the remainder Of the
troop quickly crossed over. Then the
monkey which mot arho as most people
write it, had been the first volunteer in
this engineer corps, unwound his tail
from the branch and let go. What had
before been the top of the pendulum was
now the bottom; it swung across the
stream, and dissolved into its original
elements, and the whole troop went chat
tering Gu their way. This took place
before the appearance of man upon the
earth, and the long tailed monkeys have
been building such bridges ever since.
Between that primitive bridge of
monkeys and the last and greatest of all
bridges ever undertakcn-the suspension
bridge over East River. connecting New
York and Brooklyn-there is apparently
wide discrepancy; yet the two are con-
structed on the same principle.
The first bridge recorded in history
was over the Euphrates at Babylon, in
the reign of Queen Nitocris. The course
of the river was turned, and its bed laid
dry, till the foundations were built. The
arches were of immense hewn stones,
clamped together with iron, and the
whole bridge was rooted over. 1t was
thirty feet wide, and over six hundred
feet long. No remnant Of this great
bridge has been discovered in modern
times.-Rossitcr Johnson in the Wide
Amakc.

of the Maine Campaign.
GARDINER, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE last rally
of the republican campaign in this state was
held in the spacious coliseum in this city to-
night. In the COURSE of his remarks Mr..
Blaine said:
1t is worth while in this last hour for dis
cussion, standing. as we are, on the eve OF an
election. to recall the peculiarities of the
campaign, for certainly the general argu-
ment submitted to the people has been,
on the side Of the opposition, filled with con-
tradictions,. not to say absurdities. The
democrats have apparently been unable to
define their position on any question. On
the leading national issue of protection they
have been timid and irresolute 70 the last
degree, occasionally putting forward rank
free trade argument, through some one of
their leading organs on the succeeding day.
They argue in Maine for the Morrison
tariff bill as whole, and yet are afraid to
touch any one of the many features of that
bill, in which the commercial and agrcultu-
raj and manufacturing interests of Maine are
injured or destroyed. The most learned doc
tor of Salamanca would be unable to find any
thread OF consistency. any line OF logic, any
dash of common sense in the mode in which
the democratic party has conducted its cam
paign on that great issue. They seem, in
deed, to have kept up mere show OF fight
on behalf OF their own party, while depend
ing in reality for any possible chance Of vic
tory upon the diversion and distraction caused
bya third party, and that third party in turn
has exhibited as striking pecularities as the
democrats themselves in their mode of con-
Quoting the campaign. General Neal Dow,
who has, for the last quarter of century
stood for two continents as the great witness
of the value and effectiveness of prohibition,
now declares that for thirty years it has
not done bit of good in the suppression of
the liquor traffic in Maine. Qaughter.) Gen
eral Dow has thus, apparently, been willing
to set at naught his own testimony
throughout this long period in order
licans. IL there be consistency
in political action, if there be honor and fair
dealing among men, the republican party
and It's candidates cxhioit both IN their cam
now closed. L bid you cordial good night.
Tremendous applause.
