The bridge will be used to carry the
boulevarls running between Central park
and Westchester county. 1t spans val
ley which is at once charming and inter-
esting. Washington Irving in "Knicker-
bocker's History of New York" gives q
ludicrous account of an incident by which
Spuyten Duyvil creek derived its name.
He says that Anthony Van Corlear, .
Dutch herald, being sent north, at one
time, to gather the people for war upon
the Yankees, came to the waters of this
creek, through which the tide was run
ming high. The trumpeter, undismayed
by the rushing flood, vowed he would
cross Gin spite of the devil, " or "Spuyten
Duyvil." He sank in n quick sand and
was lost.
Kings bridge is not far from the new
structure. From the relative size of the
bridges they should change names, for
Kings bridge, though having u royal
name, is but an old and very small
wooden structure. 1t is over n narrow
part of the creek, which flows daily in two
directions underneath. One standing on
this bridge may lean over the guard rail
and see the water flowing few feet be-
low, west in the morning and east in the
afternoon. This is caused by the etb and
flow of the tide.
The Manhattan bridge was begun in
August, 1886, and the work has been
pushed vigorously. Eighty thousand cubic
yards of masonry have already been laid
and 5000 tons of steel have been erected

New YORK, March 2S.-Passcngers
leaving or entering New York by the n
Y. c. * ii. r.. r., have been used to see
ing an imposing structure not far from
the city, across Spuyten Duyvil creek
This is called High bridge, and also serves
as an aqueduct for carrying the waters of
the Croton river into New York. About
800 feet north of this structure is now be-
ing erected what is to be called Manhat-
tan bridge. When completed it will be
one of the handsomest bridges ever built;
and is to be considerably higher and larger
than High bridge.
Between the northeast face of Manhat-
tan Island and the mainland, starting
from the East river, there is what is called
Harlem river. Before it reaches the Hud-
son it becomes Spuyten Duyvil creek. 1t
is intended that Harlem river and Spuy-
ten DuyVil creek shall some day be
widened and deepened in order that they
may form passage for craft which now
in passing from the East to the North
river aud vice versa must go around Man
haitian Island, passing its southern point
at the Battery. The erection of the new
bridge is arranged with view to this
passagcway. Some idea of the height, in
the clear, of its central arch is obtained
by remembering that it is to be within a
few feet of the height of the great sus-
pension bridge between New York and
Brooklyn. The Manhattan bridge would
be scraped at the center of this central
arch by the point of mast extending
1873 l2 feet above the wateY surface; but
upon its driveway the passage will look
down from a height of twenty feet above

Speaking of long foreign names, I want
to say word about Mrs. Wischnewetzky.
Wischnewet2ky is the name taken by w.

took a Russian husband some time ago.
Florence Kelley knows as much about
the tariff as does her father. She can
write better than her father. Her mind
is as clear as bell, and her language is
as pure rs spring water. The Russian
nobleman whom she married was a stu
dent in Switzerland at the time she was
studying there, and Kelley lost his daugh-

considers his new son-in-law a fine fellow,
however, and, on the whole, is we'll satis-
