THERE is actually some talk of the re-
vival of the discussion as to the selection OF
a suitable site for a free bridge to the South
side. Nay more, a satisfactory location is
actually supposed to have been settled on.
Pittsburg moves rapidly. In Philadelphia
it takes more than twenty years to build a
city hall, but in PittsburS the location of a
free bridge may really be decided in little
more than two years from the early day at
which so radical a suggestion as its provis-
ion was made to the startled community.

WHETHER It would materially increase
the revenue OF the Government or not, a
big increase in the tax on whisky would
certainly bring grist to the mill OF the
Whisky Trust. And as that is one of the
most completely monopolistic organizations
in the country, it should certainly receive
every encouragement from Congress that
handles those things so tenderly and has
their interests so much at heart.

GEN. SHERMAN'S ENG LIS II
FRIEND.

Gen. Sir John Bisset, X. c. B., an
English soldier who had long enjoyed
the queens favor and who is known
on this side Of the Uater from his com
mand of the troops i'll Canada, was an
old time friend OF the late Gen. Sher-
mann. Their intimate acquaintance
grew out of a visit Gen. Sherman
made to Gibralter during Grants ad-
ministration at the time Gen. Blsset
was governor of that stronghold. At
the close of the visit the hero OF the
march to the sea gave his host an
American rife elegantly mounted in
silver. and Sir John on his part for
years thereafter, sent Gen. Sherman Il
brace ofEngish pheasants every winter
timing the departure of the game so
that it should arrive in New York in
season for old Tecumseh's Christmas
dinner. The last present of the kind
reached New York while Sherman
was on his death-bed too Ill tc eat
game, but he had the birds placed on
his bed to be looked at and admired
The letter acknowledging the receipt
OF the game, written at the generals
directions, put melancholy end to
the long correspondence between the
two friends. Gen. Bisset is now Il
handsome old gentleman with s,lvery
hair and soldiery bearing and is quar-
tered at Folkestone.

In the item of sleep the Chinaman
establishes Il great difference between
himself and the Occidental Generally
speaking, he is able to sleep anywhere.
None Of the tritiing disturbances which
drive us to despair annoy him. With
a brick for Il pillow, he can lie down on
his bed of stalks or mud bricks or rat
tan and sleep the sleep of the just. with
no reference to the rest of creation
He does not want his room darhened,
nor does he require others to be still.
The Infant crying in the night" may
continue to cry for all he cares, for it
does not disturb him. In some re-
gionS, the entire population seems to
fail asleep, as by a common instinct
(like that of the hibernating bear),
during the first two hours of summer
afternoons. and they do this with reg
ularity. no matter where they may be.
At two hours after noon the universe
at such seasons is as still as at two
hours after midnight. In the case of
most working people at least, and also
in that Of niany others, position in
sleep is OF no sort of consequence. 1t
would be easy, A. II. Smith thinks, to

wheelbarrows. with head downward,

real one, and the only remedy that is

naked truth to be, that this Remedy
is the one that cures the worst cases

take 1t is also a remedy in all
catarrhal conditions, SUCH as Catar-
rhal Headache: Catarrh of the

SHOOTING THAT ASTONISHED
THEM.

A tenderfoot recently returned
from "the remote wild west, where
the sea without shore is" gives the
following account of turkey shoot
which he witnessed, and indeed
participated in, although he states
that he was one of the men who
missed.
Con level place down the road
stood a solid looking iron box and
sticking out of a hole was the head
of 4 turkey.
Fifty yards away stood a group
of cattlemen, talking with a man VINO
seemed to be running the show.
"The terms, heard, were 25 cents
a shot and no aiming, the man who
killed the turkey to have it.
Number one paid his quarter, took
his stand and fired on the word He
missed. Several men hit the base,
but that was bullet-proof.
"The sixth man took Mr.. Turkey S
head clear off and looked pleased
abort it. He paid another quarter,
took another shot and one more
turkeys head went.
"The saloonkeeper looked serious.
Two turkeys were dead and there was
only SITS in the treasury. See here,
boys,' he said, Il hate to interfere
early in the game. but that's two
gone for SITS. This young fellow is
altogether too handy with his gun for
this shoot, and guess well have to
bar him OUT and barred out be was.
"I've seen pigeon shoots and all
that hundred times, but this was
different and better. A shotgun will
cover a whole barn door with pellets,
but l tell you it takes shooting to hit
a turkeys head with 45-caliber re
volver at fifty yards
