BRIDGES OVER THE HARLEM.

There is a remarkable array Of bridges over
the Harlem River. and many millions Of dollars
have been spent upon them. The Washington
Bridge Is a structure of noble proportions, and
1t was set up with foresight and with due con
sideraton Of the needs of this mighty city for
generations to come. 1t will not require costly
repairs or extensive changes for many years
The High Bridge, created in order to bring Gro
ton water to Manhattan Island designed
with exceptional ability, and put together so
strongly and with so much care that il also
will remain an enduring monument to the
honor Of the men who raised its lofty arches.
Unfortunately however High Bridge Is not
open TO vehicles and general travel: but some
time in the future. when New York has thou
sands Of homes on the Harlem, II will probably
be necessary TO make such arrangements that
general traffic can be carried on across that
structure
Next below High Bridge Is a scanty skeleton
used solely for the little railroad that takes pas
sengers from Onehundred-and- fifty -tifth-st. into
the suburbs. Then we come TO MacOmbs Dam
Bridge which is broader, more ample and con
venient than the antquated mass of lumber
which il supplancd. When the approaches 10
the new spans are completed this bridge will
serve the needs Of the public well into the TWEEN
tieth century Years passed while the labor on
Macombs Dam Bridge in progress. The
tedious delays illustrated the tardy methods Of
contractors who deal with the city treasury.
The contractors took their own time upon that
task as they do on almost all the works Of a
public sort which they handle. Bitter com
plants have been heard over and over again
because the new Third Avenue Bridge was
erected with so exasperating a waste of time.
The contractors appeared 10 act as If they con
sldered 1t Of no consequence 10 the people of
NewYork whether that undertaking was fin
ished in one year or in ten years. The bridge IS
In use at last. but the approaches are still m
finished. Further down the river below the
Second Avenue Bridge, n new span Is to go up
| to connect the eastern part Of Harlem with Will
lls-ave. in the vicinity Of the Port Morris rail-
road yards. The building Of this bridge has
been authorized by the Legislature and much
public money is TO be expended upon IT, Tho
new structure ought to be far more spacious
than the cramped. narrow and unsatisfactory

The sympathetic tenderness of low

ordeal. George Layton, Esq, a proml-
nent druggist of Dayton, o., gives the
following case:
A customer of mine, whose wife has used
four bottles of Mothers Friend" before con-
fnement, says, after seeing the effects of the
remedy, that if she had to go through the ordeal
again, and there were but four bottles on the
market, and the cost was 500 per bottle, she
would have them.
"Mother's Friend'' is scientifically
compounded 1iniment which affords GER

elasticity to the cords and muscles in
