The Bridge Completed

The new iron bridge across the
Potomac river at Shepherdstown, re-
placing the wooden bridge carried
away by the great food of Jund 1st.
1889 ,shas been completed and opened
to the public. The Register says "It
is a very handsome and substantial
bridge Of four spans of:l511 feet each,
and is about thirty feet above the
water-fve feet higher than the old
one. Iron tubes we're placed on the
stone piers, and the ends of the spans
rest upon these. Solid oak flooring
is laid, and side guards are bolted
to the iron work along each side.
The King Iron Bridge Company, of
Cleveland, Ohio, are the builders. A
bf'c'1 Office or dollhouse is to be built
on the abutmert on the Virginia
side. The bridge, which is painted
a dark red, lie DIS an additional beau
ty to the lovely view at this point,
which is pc he Is the most romantic
and pictur cque part of the Poto-
mac. The scene from the bridge,
looking down the river. is one OF
Undesirable beauty. The ferry
boat has been abandoned, of course,
and it is hoped that the present gen.
Grafton at least may at least may not
be called upon to use it again. 1t is
hardly possible that it will, for the
food of 1889, even, will have to be
exceeded to endanger the new
bridge"

Prin ce NapOleon's Daily Life.

AS to Prince Napoleon's daily life
in Prangins retreat, he rises with the
sun, lounges or works in his studio,
and receives visitors, if any there be,
until luncheon, which is announced
for quarter to IL, and never lasts
more than half an hour. Immedi-
ately afterward, and no matter what
the weather may be, he takes long
walk beyond the confines of the park,
and returns between and A o'clock
to open his mail correspondence,
which comes to hand during his af-
ternoon stroll, and which is always
voluminous and very regular. This
occupies him until the dinner hour.
In the evening he plays chess with
friends or with faithful Partisan
friends, such as NJ. Adelon, Baron
Brunei, and one of two others who
arrive in turn; each share his exile
for few days. He prides himself
npon being a great player, but shows
himself very bad one. especially
with M. Adelon, who vies with him
in the wittiest and most comical
manner imaginable. He retires to-
ward ii o'clock.-Paris Gdulis.

A Charmed Life.

Here is a story told by lady OF 6
kitten, hose "good luck" carried il
through dangers fevery kind: We
had kitten that had q marvellous
talent for escaping from all kinds o.
pcrils. He was shut up in an oven
by a needless servant and left there
over night, but al Though it seems
that he must be baked to crisp, BIZ
came out in the morning none the
worse for the fiery ordeal.
He was rnn over by rail road
train, but crouched close to The
ground and escaped injury. He re
ceived charge of bird shot one
day while he was himself hunting
birds in the woods, but we picked
out as many as we could, and he
began at once to recover, and soor
was all right again.
Finally he was put into bag
with stone and thrown into the
river, but he managed to find a small
hole in one corner of the bag, ani
enlarged it so that he was able tt
get out. Then he swan ashore ant
came home.
In view of these marvellous escapes
we decided to keep the cat, and
gave him the name of Plutarch be
cause he had SO many lives.
The name was a happy one, anG
yet, as the story of Plutarch's ad
ventures had to be told each tim,
his name was mentioned to a new
acquaintance, we wished at last tina
we had named him Tom or Dick

Indians Badly Treated.

New York, November 10.-Paint
ed Horse, one of the Indians of the
Red Cloud agency, who arrived here
from Europe on the steamer Angus
Ia Victoria to-day, in the presence
of General O'Brien, made long
statement in which he charged both
Carver and "Buffalo Bill' with great
cruelty toward the Indians under
their charge. Painted Horse said
he was repeatedly tied up until he
could endure no furthur suffering
that he was fed on sinking meat
and other things wholly unfit fol
food; that his money was taken from
him, and when he asked its return
he received only IS. He said the
other Indians also were shamefully
treated, and were frequently fired
upon with both blank and ball car
tridges and badly wounded. They
were permitted to have all the whis'
XIV they wanted, and when under
the influence they often fought
among themselves.
Gen. O'Brien has copy of the
agreement entered into by the Car
yer combination, in which good
treatment to the Indians is specified
particularly as one of the conditions
of their engagement. A copy o.
Painted Horses statement will be
prepared and forwarded to the Sec
rotary Of the Interior, aud to the
Indian Commissioners. According
to latest advice s"Buffalo Bills" In
dams will arrive in Philadelphia

Hollands Efficient Method of Dealing
With Tramps.

Tn Holland Migrants arrested in
the pursuit of their ordinary calling
are sent to an agricultural colony
for one or two years. To cure them
from idleness they must work or 90
to the cell. In case of exemplary
conduct they become eligible for adj
mission to the charity colony of the
Weenhuysen Agricultural Institute,
colony of six vast farms, where the
necessitous of both sexes who can no
longer exc out living are received
as laborers and well cared for. AT
the tramp establishment, however,
about 1000 are employed in some
kind of occupation. Silence reigns
during work and meal time. There
is only one repast, at noon, consist
ing of soup of potatoes and beans,
with bread-neyer msat; at in the
morning and 6 P. NJ. cup of coffee.
The dormitory has no beds all are
hammocks. Each prisoners work is
valued at three franks per day, and
the government makes money out of
the efficient cure for Migrants.
The charity farm colony was or
iginally founded in 1917 to relieve
the victims of Napoleon's wars. An
extensive tract of sand and heath
lands was set apart to be reclaimed.
Men, women and children, unable to
make a living, but guilty of no
crimes, were planted. They feed
in common like the Spartans. The
parents are provided with work, the
children educated and taught trades.
All are free to leave, but re-admission
is difficult. Ifdetected begging the
penitentiary colony awaits them. In
time, when labor savings amount to
a fixed sum, the father receives for
it house, five acres of land, cow
and goat. The aged are pensioned
out among the colonists. The lat
ter must sell all their farm products
to the governing body. France in
tends trying this plan for the ex-
tinction of pauperism. Gen. Booth,
of the Salvation Army, no doubt
partly took his recent suggestions
for the transplanting of the London
poor into farm colonies from this or
iginal Dutch experiment. Would it
not be worth while to try the same
in our own country.-Sura.
