Get thate Bridge.

It seems increditable that any
resident of the county, or one who
claims any interest whatever in its
welfare, and has intelligence enough
to write letter, should endeavor to
kill bill Of so much importance to
the people, as the bridge bill now
pending in the legislature; and for
no higher or better reason than the
qualification of a personal political
spite. Yet this is being done.
The passage of the bill, means the
gift from the state to the county, of
a bridge much better than any now
within its borders. The internal i'm
provement fund, from which the ap-
propriation is asked, does not come
from the tax payers of the state. 1t
derived from the sale Of public lands
donated to the state by congress.
The fund so derived, cannot be used
for the general expenses of the state,
but for internal improvements only
the building Of roads, bridges, and
reservoirs. Other portions Of the
state have received generous appro-
! priations from the fund, by former
| Legislatures, but not one dollar has
ever come into this valley. 1t is de-
signed more especially to assist the
new and sparsely populated counties,
in their needed improvements, and
their claims to its benefits are the
strongest and best. There is every
reason to believe the bill of Mr..
Funderburgh will become law not
withstanding the traitorous opposi-
tion here against it.

We print another communication
this week regarding trees upon the
public streets. There is no doubt
but that we have become SO accus-
tuned to the present appearance OF
the town that we do not realize how
unpleasantly it strikes, or how bare
and uninviting it appears to those
who are passing through. Here in
the valley where vegetation of all
kinds grows SO lavish and rank, and
where there are SO many miles OF
bitches, the absence Of trees in a
town leaves the inference with
strangers, that it lacks energy and
enterprise.

HE WAS OVERCOME.


Recognition OF . Long-Iost Friend Foo
Much for the Elephant.
Some Of the European newspapers are
telling q truly veracious story OF the
sagacity OF q trained elephant which
adorns q French travelling show. The
proprietor Of the circus announced that
On q certain night his elephant would
play the Russian Hymn on q piano
with his trunk. Intense interest was
aroused, and when the evening came
the expectant public crowded the circus
to the roof. After the usual perform.
ance four men carried in q cottage pi-
ano, which they placed in the center OF
the arena Then the intelligent animal
was brought in, paradcd with much dig
nifty three times around the ring, and
then, amid the keenest excitement, adj
vanced to the piano. With a move.
ment Of his trunk the touched the key
board, but hardly had he done SO when
q surprising change came over him.
He trembled with fear and rage, hurled
his trunk into the air, and then with q
scream OF terror rushed out OF the
arena.
There was q great hurrying to and fro
OF the employees, and the circus pro-
prietor and the elephant keeper left the
Ting for consultation. In o few minutes
the proprietor returned and announced
with regret that tho performance could
not take place. The fact was, he said,
that the elephant had recognized In the
keyboard Of the instrument a portion Of
the tusks OF his long-lost mother, who
had fallen q prey to the ivory hunters
Of Africa. He had suggested to the
keeper that another piano might be pro.
cured. but that expert had informed him
that the animal was so overcome with
emotion that it would be impossible for
him to perform that evening. Under
these circumstances he suggested that
the Russian Hymn. followed by the
Marseillaise, should be played by the
band. The entertainment vas thus
brought to a close amid the frantic ap.
plause of the audience.

Why Called Sterling.

The origin Of the word sterling, a.
applied to the English money, is q sin.
gular bit of linguistic history. Easter.
ling, In old English. meant q man from
the East, or from the continent Of Eu-
rope. During the rei0n of Henry Ill. OF
England the coin current became so de.
based that 1t passed for a 1.-THE of its
nominal value, and tho necessity for i'm.
provement became apparent. There
we're no refiners in the realm who could
separate the alloy from the precious
metal, so a number Of Fasterlings were
brought from Germany to do the work.
The coins they sent from the royal mint
were 50 much superior to those in com.
mon use that they were known as tho
Easterling money, and, by popular cor.
ruption, soon became sterling.

How HairDins Are ME-.

Hairpins are made by automatic and
very complicated machines. The coiled
wire is put upon drums and becomes
Strengthened - it feeds itself to the
machine. It passes along until it
reaches two cutters, which point the
end at the same time that they cut 1t
tho length required. This piece Of wire
then slips along ar iron plate until it
reaches q slot, through which 1t 10
pressed into regular shape. The hair
pins are then put into q pan and
1apanned, after which they are heated
800 TO AGO degrees. There are but four
American factories. The largest are in
Birmingham and Waterbury, Conn.,, the
others in Philadelphia and 81 ooklyn.
Five hundred thousand dollars worth Of
hairpins are annually imported from
England, France, and Germany.
