Discarded Work of Dead Authors.

The bitterest enemy of a great man or
great woman OF letters Is the creature
who brings to light writer's discarded
work. His best he gave, his worst he
kept; it ought to be left to a literary
man or woman to say which, and how
much, Of his or her products shall be
given finally to the world. There should
be some respect for the dead. The fact
that writer leaves manuscripts be-
hind him Is no reason why they should
oe printed and circulated. They may
be utterly unworthy of him, and tend to
minimize his fame and influence. We
have been led to these remarks by the
announcement Of a new edition Of the
Works of the Brontes." In this we
read Valuable copyright matter, fur
nIshed by the Rev. A. Il. Nichols, the
husband Of Charlotte Bronte, will be in
cluded." Well, let us hope the mat
ter will be valuable indeed. 1t will
not be SO simply because ii was penned
by Charlotte, or Emily, or Anne; it
might represent the writer at her worst.
AT any rate, let lovers of literature be
upon their guard. The Bronte sisters
are in their graves; and nobody has
any right to publish manuscript work Of
theirs which would in any way impair
their reputation.-London Saturday Re-

Anecdote of Chief Baron Pollock.

The effort being made in certain quar-
ters to perusade a Judge to resign his
appointment brings to mind an anec-
dote told OF Baron Pollock when he was
Chief Baron Pollock. On one occasion
some one limited retirement pretty
broadly to the Boran, entirely with a
view, the person urged, to the prolonga-
ton of such valuable life. AS soon as
he saw the drift of the speakers re-
marks the old man rose, and with his
grim, dry gravity, said: "Will you
dance with me?" Naturally, the we'll
wisher stood aghast at the Chief Baron's
strange request. but the latter, who
prided himself particularly upon his
sturdy legs, began to caper about with
youthful vivacity. Seeing his visitor
standing surprised the Baron tripped up
to him and said: well, IL you won't
dance with me. will you box with me?"
and "squaring up to him, half in jest
and half In earnest, literally boxed the
gentleman out OF the room. After that
the old Chief Baron had no more visitors
anxiously fnquiring after his health and

BRIDGE DEDICATED.
ine Largest Stone Bridge West of
the Rocky fountains.

R c. Irvine of the Bureau OF High
ways has returned from Napa County
Where he was invited to be present at the
dedication of the stone bridge across
Rutah Creek near Monticello 1t spans
Putah Greek nineteen miles above Win
ters' and Is twenty eight miles from the
city of Napa This bridge is con-
structed of a native sandstone of
blush color, which stood a test of 5000
TO l2,oO0 pounds per inch. The quarry Is
sftuateo one and a half miles from the
Hte OF the bridge. The ledge stands on
eoge' is exceedingly easy to quarry, and
SLABS OF any desired size are split out.
Inc entire length of the bridge, over
aal, Is 300 feet. There are three spans or
arches OF 20 feet each. The piers are
IL feet at base and 10 feet at spring
line Abutments 10 feet on solid
bed rock feet below the surface. The
roadway is 16 feet in the clear and 1879
Teet outside. The center arch is AZ
Eeet above low water mark, and the
roadway is 46 feet The arch stones
are feet 6 inches deep, II 3-1o inches
At crown and IL inches at base, laid In
cement. The arches are all smoothly
cemented underneath, and present the
used in its construction 1900 $40 cubic
yards of material, ~ tons Of iron, 675
barrels OF cement and $50 barrels Of
lime.
r. H Pithie of St. Helena was the sue
cessful contractor, and the total cost
was $19,9S0 He was the builder of the
bridge across Napa River at st. Helena
and ait the time Of its construction IT was
SI,a Ir-iI IN Co1
A large number of people from all
parts of the county were present and
the festivities wound up with a grand
ball in the evening. Everybody took
great interest In it's construction and
assisted the contractor In every way
possible.
There had been expended on bridges
across this turbulent stream at this
point, in construction and repairs, the
sum of $53, 600, and yet there was only
q huge pile of rotten timbers to show
for this enormous outlay. When the old
bridge was razed the dust from the de-
cayed timbers rose in cloud, and 1t
was miracle that 1t had not fallen
when some team was crossing.
Every dollar spent ON construction,
with the exception of the price Of the
CeUl0Ul, was itll dlilOIiS lHc Nd~A pay CAS
of Napa County, thereby showing the
economy of building stone bridge.
Napa County has now nine stone
bridges, ranging from 30 to 300 feet In
length, and has less than $4,000 in
vested in them.
The work was superintended by Mr.
Graham and the tablet contains the
names of Supervisors c. M. Burgess
(Chairrnan), A. ]. Raney, G. Moser, S.
Wardner and NJ. NJ. McFatridge.
