ACROSS THE EASTERN BRANCH.
The Report Of Progress Upon the New
Bridge.

Col. p. @. Hams has reported to the chief of
engineers that the laying of the west abutment
OF the Eastern branch bridge, which was COM
menced in October, was continued during No
vember. Three of the 1l2-foot spans have
been erected, the hoor-beams placed in posi-
ton. and the riveting completed The earth
embankment made but slow progress during
November. The weather was not favorable to
rapid progress and the haul is becoming longer
and heavier. The work on cofferdam dur
ing November was directed almost entirely to
driving the squared piles, which had just been
placed in position at the beginning Of the
month. The want of proper facilities has un-
doubtedlv been the cause of a considerable part
OF this delay. 1t is proposed during December
to complete the concrete foundations of the
west abutment and possibly to lay portion of
the abutment proper. to continue the erection
of 1l2-foot spans in order. excavate the mate
rial from the interior OF cofferdam A, to begin
the construction of cofferdam B. and to con-
tinue the formation of the earth embankment
at the east approach,

1t Stuck to Him.

THE GENERALS FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH AN IN
sISUATING AND DECEIvING BEVERAGE.
From Time.
Gen. p. Langly, well-knovn farmer living
near Frankfort, KY, was invited to attend a
banquet given by the governor to the members
OF the legislature. The old fellow was very
much 1attered by the invitation. 1t was the
first great attention ever bestowed upon him,
for although he held, with grip of pride. the
title Of general, his military services had been
confined to the collection OF mules for the
confederate army. He consulted several
friends and was told that ii would be a dis
grace to appear at the banquet in other than
the conventional regimentals of great social
occasion, namely, full dress suit of broad
cloth.
you don't mean one of these skeercrow
lookin' coats with the sides all chawed off, do
you?" the old general asked.
Eyes, regular swallow-tail.T
Il don't like it, but reckon I'll have to get
me one."
Having no ready money he raortgaged fine
horse. went to town and ordered dress suit
At the banquet he was delighted to see that
every one else was dressed in similar manner
and so much at ease did he feel that he pro-
ceeded at once to make himself at home. He
had never tasted champagne before. and was
much surprised at the mildness of the insinu-
ating beverage. He had drunk at least quart
OF wine when he called waiter.
''Say, haven't you got something to drink
here?"
oh, vas, sab; got champagne, plenty O.
hit"
II mean havnt you got some Ticker. like
sweet milk we'll enough, but it don't take holt
Haven't you got something that will stick?'
The negro grinned He saw that the general
was 'tender-foot"
Boss" said he. pointing to the wine, ''you
jist stick ter hit an hit will iist stick ter you
"All right, I'll give it chance, but l wish
You had something to drink that would Jolt
little"
About O'Clock the next morning the general
was found in a narrow alley, standing on his
head, yelling Justify for some one to come and
take him down; and two days later a man
passing along the road saw the general, in full
dress, clearing out horse pond
Why, general, what's the matter?'
''See anything the NATTER"
"Yes, decidedly. Why do you wear a dress
suit while doing such work."
ITO show what blamed fool am Were
you at that bapquet?"
yes"
well: there wasn't but one sensible man
present"
"Who was he?'
"A blamed darkey, who told me that if I'd
stick to that stuff they had to drink it would

Spartan Music and Courage.

From the National Review.
The favorite problem of thinkers and teach
ers, since thought began. has been to find some
engine of education which should reach the
character as effectually as the ordinary means
OF training touch the understanding; and in the
opinion OF many, not men alone, but nations
music was such an engine. 1T is music" said
the Spartans, (which distinguishes the brave
man from the coward" "A mans music is the
source of his courage" 1t was their music
which enabled LeOnidas and his 300 to conquer
at Thermopyl@. IL was music which taught the
Spartan youths how to die in the wrestling ring
or on the field of battle. These claims are au-
daclous surely. Yet, when we consider how
the rhythmical tread of the brave man diff
fers from the agitated shamble of the coward.
how music is the art of human joy and
how joy and repose of mind are the main ele-
ments OF manly fortitude. we shall at any rate
admit that there is a strong affinity some where;
our only difficulty will be to acknowledge that
music, deliberately applied, could ever be the
direct cause OF these reputed results. To
achieve the end desired Spartan bows passed
their youth in learning tunes. hymns and
songs-this was their sole mental culture.
They were taught to dance and keep step to
the measure of the songs as they sang them
And grown to manhood. now perfect warriors
marched into battle with smiling faces crowned
with flowers. calm, joyful and serene, and.
lntonlng their songs, moved steadily thus into
the thickest of TIE fight, undisturbed and ire
sistibe. The band that leads our armies to
the field of battle nowadays is a scant survival
OF Spartan practice; yet even in this music by
proxy there are many elements Of Indictment
to courage.

Never too Well known in Trade.

Dry Goods Chronicle
Many merchants think that their names are
80 well known that they do not need to do any
advertising. They, however, forget that every
year brings into trade new generation of
dealers and closes out certain percentage of
the older ones. They also forget how easily it
is for one to drop from the calendar of time or
to pass out of recollection unless the cobwebs
in memory's chain are constantly brushed by
keeping ones name before his friends the
public. The fact of letting the public know
that you are still in trade brings many grist
to your mill that otherwise would probably stop
somewhere else. Men in trade are never too
well known to leave their business out of the
columns Of the newspaper. The business man
who says he never advertiser must take down
his sign, stop sending out circulars and dis
patching statesmen to sell his wares, for all this
is advertising.

TARIFF AND TRUSTS.


The House ways and means committee has
not yetconsidered whether or not they win at
tempt to pass through the House this
session any of the ''trust" bills
that are before them. Several Of
these bills were introduced into the House by
Mr. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, to strike at the
trusts" when it became apparent
that there. would be no general
tariff legislation. 1t is now well understood
that the House viii not pass the Senate tariff
bill, but it is regarded as improbable
that any of these 'trust' bills will be passed
this session. There is some talk of taking
the administration part of the tariff bill.
over which there is not much dispute
between the two houses ard attach to it a
clause repeating the tobacco tax without
anything else, and attempting to
pass it through Congress. And this it is
thought will not come to anything, though it
is within the range of possibility.

An amusing incident was related this after
noon by Representative Mason, of Illinois. In
addition to the privileges of free baths and
free BARRIERS, members may have their shoes
blacked by colored attaches of the House who
are paid salaries for their services. Mr. Ma
sons shoes needed polishing this morning so
he seated himseld in the bootblacks chair and
desired the young man to commence operations
at once.
the bootblack
Sorry to say wasn't" replied the Chica-
goan.
The shine was soon given and Mr. Mason
saws IT was one of the worst samples of shoe
polishing he ever saw Suddenly the light
broke in on his mind and he said to the boot
black:
