FANTASTIC SHAPES.

They have been conspicuous so long as
the history of the bridge goes back, and the
French engineers who surveyed and meas
ured the bridge at the time of the Revo-
lutionary War remarked them and drew
from them happy augury of the success of
the Americans in the struggle. Passing
through the bridge and taking up position
on the further side a hundred yards
or so from it one gets a still better impress
sion of the soaring grace OF the arch. This
side of the bridge is remarkable for its
smoothness and well-proportioned curves.
The arch and abutments give away grad
uallv from the outer edge like the sides of
the basin of huge funnel, due, L imagine,
to the constant wearing away of the rock BY
the stream for ages past, starting when Its
bed was up near the top of the arch and
then coming lower and lower as the water
wore away the rocks over which and against
which it flowed. Looking up through the
arch to the right, about half way from the
top, one sees the semblance of beautiful
human face sculptured on rocky abutment,
and nearer on the abutment, to the left, is
another rocky profle-that of an old man.
Both are of huge size.
Climbing around to the top of tie bridgeI
one finds there broad turnpike road that
is and has been a main highway since col
onial times, and still earlier it was used by
the Indians. The bridge is the only cross
ing of the chasm for several miles in both
directions. Unless one is on the sharp look
out, be would pass over it without recogniz-
ing it, as it has natural rock parapets and is

THE GREEK PARLIAMENT.

There is but one house in the Greek Par
lament, and this contains 150 members,
who are elected by the people of the various
provinces, every man having the right to
vote. The members are elected for four
years, and they must sit not less than three
nor longer than six months every year.
They receive salaries amounting to S4oo q
session, and if an extra session is called they
get $500 more. In the most prosperous times
they cannot thus make more than 500 .
year. They have fully as much power as
our Congress, and they in reality govern
Greece. The King has the veto power, but
he would not dare to exercise it against q

A LIVING GRIEF.

You see her deari That ghost Of woman.
Slender and straight as a pine tree dart,
With look as II something fend or human,
Had driven the blood from her shrinking heart
look as II hope had died within her,
And Gods good angels had turned away,
When hate and hell were trying TO win her,
In the lurid dusk of yesterday.
No babe Of hers, In beauty frozen,
Lies under the drifted leaves asleep;
tell you friend, Gods called and chosen
Are mothers whose babes the angels keep.
No right has she to the stately fashion
OF mourning garments trailing dark,
The royal purple Of pain and passion,
That IL to its wearer as Gods own Ark.
Her grief grows deeperl It's stab, more deadly,
Struck at the root Of lifes delight;
Henceforth, forever, that wounds hurt redly
Shall stain the hand she had dreamed was white
Shorn In moment Is life of glory,
Allied In a moment with cruel shame,
The wife of a man whose evil story
Is bruited wide on the winds Of fame
How shall she bear till their tale is ended
The dreary years that must drag apace,
With the unroofed home so undefended,
And pitiful thief-in her husbands placer
How shall she live, great Godl and love himH
Or live, great God if she cease to lover
OH help her, Heaven, unfeared, above him,
That gave this woman such task to prove.

JUDGE CARTOONS LETTER.

SALT LAKE CITY, 1893.
DEAR DOCTOR:-Before leaving for the east
wish to express my appreciation of your
treatment of a complicated case of the eyes.
have tried for several years to get far-sceinR
glasses, and had concluded that | could get
none that would be of any benefit to me. But
after saw the wonderful benefit of your sys-
TEN, | take pleasure in saying that the glasses
furnished by you have restored my vision
both for reading and far-seeing to the same
condition as in my bOyhOOd. | resolved to
have you furnish me glasses after witnessed
your system to a beautiful young lady of six
teen years, from Summit county, afflicted
with u complicated condition of the eycsight.
She told me she had never been able to distin-
guish ones face at a distance Of six feet. With
DR.. Prentice's glasses she could see well as
any one. AS she looked up and down the
street. and for the first time in her life saw
the distant mountain top, she was greatly de-
lighted, and inquired with childish mi y
do other people see this way" 1t seemed
that a new world was opened to ner view, rs
novel and beautiful as "Eden's rosy bowers"

A leading Texas paper compliments DR..
Prentice: DIR. Prentice, of No. 49, Dryades
street. who ha a column advertisement in the
Daily and Weekly Gazette, is having a run of
practice here uuequaleG in this city People
not only from the city but from long distances
in the country daily flock to his Office, and in
every instance when he tells patient he can
do him good he does it. Many persons who
have been blind for years are nOw thanks to
DR.. Prentice, walking tee streets and reading
the newspapers! Give DR.. Prentice any
ground TO work on and he perfects a cure n
all diseases of the head, throat and chest he
appears to be equally successful. His brother
physicians are forced to admit that man of
his cures are almost miraculous. His success
lies in the fact that hc las had Il great deal OF
experience in r european hospitals, uses the
finest surg cal instruments now used, and
avails himself of all the latest improvements
recorded in the leadingmedical and surgical
Journals of the day. Should he ever visit
Texas he will no doubt meet with well-merited
success.-Texas Live Stock journal, January
10th.
DR.. Prenucc's system of examining eyes,
lhs own invention has been introduced into
some Of the largest hospitals Of Europe, and
is endorsed and used by many of the leading
Oculists Of America. BY this method ey cs are
relieved of all strain, and fitted so perfectly,
that they regain much Of their lost strength.
Piles,
David Kearsc, Of Colorado City, Tex, suffer
Ell many years from piles; had them cut out
and burned out, and yet was not cured. DR..
Prentice cured him in one treatment, and re-
moved the cause four years ago and they

MAGAZINE NOTICES.

The Culver for March is a readable number. 1t
opens with description OF Christian work at
Oxford, which is altogether contemporaneous,
and this is followed by a paper that takes us back
to barbaric times. 1t is one Of the series called
To the Lions. Thirsting for God is a short paper
and then we come to poem Away to the Hills,
by John II. Davies. Granny's Jubilee is a story
to be continued in another number. The second
in Prof. Blaikle's New Book of Martyrs, which
promises to be almost as popular as the old, is
given. An illustrated paper of character sketches
Charge is pretty story, and from that we turn to
Winter Pastoral, which is quite as pretty in
another way. 1t treats its subject with pen and
pencil and reminds us that In the Middle states
at least, there have been few scenes of this sorI.

ERICSSON AND THE MoNIToR.
The Government Came Mighty Near
Not Getting the Little Vessel.

Mr.. C. S. Bushnell of New Haven, an old
friend of John Ericsson, has been interview
ed about him by the New Haven Palladium.
Here is part of what he said:
Mr. Ericsson, soon after our acquaintance
let me take the Monitor plans. He had
vowed that he would never 60 to Washington
with the plan because the Government owed
him $4,000 for his engineering work in con-
structing the propeller Princeton, the first
propeller ever built but would not pay it. 1
took the plans to Mr.. Welles, Secretary Of
the Navy, and also to Mr.. Seward, Secretary
Of State. Mr.. Seward gave me note to
President Lincoln, and on the following day
called on the President. He said he did
not know much about vessels, save fiat boats,
but he agreed to meet me the next day with
the Board of Naval Commissioners. Well,
at this meeting President Lincoln heard a
great deal of adverse criticism on the part
of the naval officers but he said that the idea
reminded him of the expression of the girl
who, when she put her foot in her stocking,
said: There's something in it, Then / re-
quested the Board to make favorable re-
port, that there might be a vessel construct
ed from the plans. Two were in favor and
one was opposed, and l could not persuade
him to consent. was rather discouraged,
and | saw but one way to secure adoption of
the plan, and that was to bring Ericsson be-
fore the Board. / left Washington for New
York that night. saw Ericsson the next
morning, and, by the way, | was admitted by
a servant girl. Ann, who has been in Mr..
Ericsson's service from that time until the
present. l succeeded in persuading him to
break his vow and return with me to Wash
ington, telling him that all that / believed
was In the way of the acceptance Of the plan
was the fact that one of the members of the
Board did not think he understood the idea
we'll enough to give it his appreciation. So
Mr.. Ericsson returned with me and under his
influence the Board became convinced of the
feasibility Of the project and gave it hearty
approval. Thus approved the plan was car
ried out and the Monitor was built l have
been associated with Mr.. Ericsson in the con-
structi0n of the Destroyer, and he has left
his plans for the vessel in such perfect shape
that his subOrdinates can go right on with
the work and complete what is to be an abso-
lutely impregnable vessel, capable of de-
stroying any or all of the vessels of the
world, monitors included, and which will I'M
doubleday be accepted by the Government as
a style of vessel for the entire coast. Mr..
Ericsson was certainly a most wonderful
man. The Dictator was composed of 5000
different parts, all the creation of mans
brain, and his designs for the vessel, sent to
the draughtsmen at Delamater's, were so
very explicit that not plan or plate had to
be changed In the slightest"
Mr. Bushnell is one of the executors Of Mr.
EricssOn'S will.
