The Pascagoula democrat-star., 1889-12-06

Rev. Howard Henderson says
that the people of Cincinnati are
so fond Of the Almighty dollar
that they would cross the mouth
of hell on plank 10 get It. That
is nothing. In Chicago they would
make the trip on a tight-rope.
The Pascagoula democrat-star., 1889-12-06

Mosquitoes were 20 plentiful in
Chicago last summer that a couple
of lovers sitting ON The back steps
OF a residence on Wabash avenue
were bitten $50 lines in thirty
minutes. They didn't mind it,
however-in fact. they didn't know
they had received a bite until an
hour after.

The Australian system of voting which
has been adopted, with notifications, by
several states, ought to afford at least a
partial solution of the ballot troubles which
are complained of in this country, if right
ly applied. Up to 1885 Australia had no
central government. At that time a sort
of confederation of the colonies was form
ed. But this does not exert great deal of
power, aud its voice is only heard concern
ing minor matters. The separate colonies
have all been granted constitutions, how
ever, with the exception of West Australia,
and have somewhat different methods of
voting. The system used in South Australia
forms a good illustration of the general
features of all. Its objects are to provide
secrecy, save expense and abolish bribery.
The name of every citizen who wishes to
vote must be printed ON the check list.
Persons who wish to run for office are re-
quired to forward their names to the cleo
tions officers, accompanied by those of a
number of their adherents, and all candi-
dates must stop speech-making "a hours be-
fore the election.
The names of all the candidates are
printed on one ticket, which is furnished
by the government, and no others can be
used. Opposite each name is a square space.
The polling place contains a number of
stalls, each large enough for one man only.
The voter receives his ballot, steps into a
stall, and makes crosses in the squares OPP
posite the names he wishes to vote for and
drops the slip in the box, no one else hav-
ing any means of knowing whom he sup
ports. If any other marks are written on
the paper other than the above, the ticket
is void.
After the election the boxes are sent TO
the chief returning officer, he being the

The cantilever bridge across the Firth of
Forth at Queens Ferry, Scotland now ap
preaching completion, is work Of such
magnitude and presents so many points of
novelty that it has attracted the attention
Of the whole engineering world.
As regards size and weight no existing
bridge at all approaches the Forth bridge.
There are two spans, each 100 feet long
tie width of the bridge at the piers is l20
feet there is Il clear headway for naviga-
ton at high water of $50 feet the deepest
foundation below high water is 50 feet the
highest part Of the bridge above high wa
ter is 800 feet and the depth of water in
the centre of the channel is 2l0 feet. With
this depth the bridge could never have been
built had it not been for an island in the
middle of the Forth.
The train weight that will be put upon
the bridge will he small compared with the
wind pressure to he overcome, and to resist
which the lofty columns over the piers are
800 feet apart at the base and 33 feet at the
top As furnishing an idea of the enormous
force which the cantilevers are capable of
resisting, it may be said that a pull of 45, ,0OO
tons would be needed to tear asunder the
top ties The greatest pull from passing
trains can be only 20O0 tons.

MISCELLANY.
A Summer Song.

FumMntF song
Go forth, my heart, nor lnger here
In this sweet season Of the year,
When God his gifts dispenses;
See how the gardens I'm their best
For you and me are gaily drest,
And ravish all the senses
The brooks are purling through the sand.
On either side the myrtles stand,
And fling a cooling shadow;
The shepherd and his flock hard by
With tinkling bells and merry cry
Move slowly DER the meadow
The busy, persevering bees
Dip in the flowers and thread the trees
In search Of precious honey;
The vines sweet sap new vigor gains,
Flowing like life.bloOd through the veins,
When skies grow warm and sunny.
The golden corn now waxes strong.
Whereat alike both old and young
Praise God with cheerful voices
Who giveth us abundant food,
Aud with 80 many precious good
The heart Of man reioices
may not and ! cannot rest
Gods goodness wakens In my breast
Such gratitude and pleasure;
!, too, must bear grateful part,
And pour out praise from my full heart
In overlooking measure.
Methinks, II God so gracious be,
Ana deals en- ere so lovingly
With US poor erring mOrtals,
How glorious must the mansions be
Where we shall dwell eternally
Within his golden portals.
What light will burst upon mine eyes,
What joy In Gods own Paradise
How will the air he ringing
With the sweet songs Of Seraphim,
Who with one heart and voice to Him
Are hallelujahs singing
All, had reached that blest abode.
Ah, that stood e'en now, my God,
Bearing my palms before Thee!
Then would like the angels raise
thousand anthems to thy praise
And with sweet psalms adore Thee
Nor will /, while ! here remain,
And bear this yoke Of flesh, refrain
From praises and thanksgiving;
My heart, in this and every other place,
Shall never cease to praise Thy grace
As long as am living.

that Mr.. Spreckles has sworn vengeance on
