The Montopolls Bridge.

1t was expected that Judge Bracken-
ridge would announce his decision yester-
day in regard to the acceptance or re-
lection of the Montopolis bridge by the
county, and the numerous inquiries heard
upon the streets in regard to the matter
showed the very general interest
that is taken by the citizens Of
Austin in this matter. The popular i'm
preston seems to be that the tridge ls
not above the high water mark OF 1862
and public sentiment seems to be largely
against the acceptance of the bridge
Judge Brackeridge was confined to his
bed yesterday by sickness, and therefore
unable to attend the session of the com
missioners' court, and the bridge matter
was postponed until the next term OF the
court.

A Heroic Deed.

In connection with the building of
the great Firth and Forth bridge, in
Scotland, there have already been fifty
three fatal accidents and several cases
of marvellous escape from death. One
man trusted himself to work at a height
of 120 feet over the waters of the Firth,
simply graspinga rope. His hands got
numbed with cold, his grasp relaxed,
he fell backwards down and down into
the water and was fished up alive. In
another instance spanner fell dis
lance of 300 feet, knocked off a mans
cap, fell on the wooden stage at his
feet and went clean through a four
inch plank. In another case, some
what similar, a spanner which fell from
a great height actually tore mans
clothes from his waistcoat to his ankle
and left him uninjured. One of the
most thrilling incidents was that in
which the " staging" or scaffolding on
which the men work, high up in mid
air, gave way, carrying number of
poor fellows in its fall. Two of these
men, striking some portion of the work
in their descent, were killed before
they reached the water; one or two
others who fell clear of the girders
were rescued from the Firth little the
worse for their fall and immersion.
Two others, however, managed as they
fell to grasp at one of the struts high
up above the water, and there they
chung for dear life. To effect their
rescue was itself an undertaking of
no slight danger. But efforts were
promptly made, and before long the
man who happened to be nearest the
rescuers was reached. And this brave
fellow, hanging there to the iron-work,
actually dissuaded the rescuers from
delaying to take him off before they
saved his companion. Never mind
me-" he said, g can hold on a bit
longer; go and see to my mate, for he's
getting dazed and he'll drop" Hap.
PLY this hero and his mate, too, were
saved.

A Mothers Counsel.

The great men of the world have gen
orally owed much TO the character and
training of their mothers. If we 90
back to their childhood we see there
the material influences which form the
aims and habits of their future life.
Bayard, the flower of the French
knighthood, the soldier without fear or
reproach, never forgot the parting
words of his mother when he left
home to become the page of a noble
man. She said to him, with all the
tenderness of loving heart: Z" My
boy, serve God first. Pray to him
night and morning. BE kind and char
table to all. Beware of tlatterers, and
never be one yourself. Avoid envy,
hatred and lying as vices unworthy
of Christian, and never neglect to
comfort widows and orphans" When
Bayard was foremost in battle, con-
fessedly the bravest warrior in the
field, or when, il his own great thirst,
he was giving water to dying enemy,
he was only carrying out his mothers
counsel and striving to be worthy of
her name. The memory of mothers
love is taisman against temptation
and stimulus to good FEE.

Self-SuppOrt in the Water.

The utmost care and Judgment should

1t is perfectly foolhardy to take risks
that may cost ones life. 1t is desirable
at all times to be master of ones self,
but never is presence of mind of more
importance than when one is in the
water. Many people are drowned be-
cause they exert themselves wildly
when thrown into the water suddenly,
forgetting completely in their fright the
buoyancy of the water, which will sus-
tain body held by slight support
Every person should learn to float who
exposes himself to the danger of drown
ing. a recent writer says: i" 1t is, I'M
fortunately, not generally known that a
finger laid upon an oar, or the gunwale
of an overturned boat, or a board, or
almost any floating object, will sustain
the human body in calm water. Per-
sons who have been properly taught,
and have acquired the habit of acting
with self-possession in the water when
they are upset, do not attempt to climb
upon the overturned boat, but simply
lake hold of it and quietly support
themselves. A boat half filed with
water, or completely overturned, will
support as many persons as can get
their hands upon the gunwale, if they
behave quietly. In the case of acct
dent person who understands and
acts in accordance with these facts
would stand ii better chance of being
saved, even if he We're poor SWIM
mer, than an expert swimmer would
have who should lose his presence of
mind .N-IrOn.
