The Hudson River Bridge* The Money Raised for Its Construction^ Description ot the Proposed Bridge. The directors of the Hudson Suspension Bridge and New England Railroad Company have held frequent meetings, daring the past few weeks, in relation to the offer of a combination of railroad officials, who propose to famish the necessary amount of money to build the bridge. The bridge, it will be remembered, was projected about six years ago, and a charter was granted by the legislature of 1868-9. The Board of Engineers, among whom were Gens. George B. McClellan, Edward W. Serrell, Quincy A. Gill snore, and Horatio Allen, determined upon the site from Anthony's Nose across to Fort Clinton as the most feasible one. and the plan UUC1CU uv UCUCItti OCiiCil YVttO ttuupir ed. The location of the bridge will necessitate the building of a branch road from Turner's, on the Erie Railway, running in an easterly direction, and also another branch road from Anthony's Nose to Lake Mahopac or Brewster's, to oonnect with the New England and othet railroads. Both of these branch roads have been surveyed, but the route has not been definitely settled. By the aid of these branches and the Hudson Suspension Bridge, the Erie Railway, and the combination of railroads known as the New York, Boston and Montreal Railroad, will be in direct connection, giving an unbroken line between the East, West, North, and South. There will be connections with the Hudson River and New York Central, the Harlem, New York and New England, New York and New . Haven and Danbury and Norwalk, Houeatonic and Northern, New Haven, Hartford and Springfield, New Haven and Northampton, Connecticut River, Boston, Clinton end Fitchburg, Providence and Worcester, Boston and Providence, and the railroads of Canada. On the western shore of the Hudson there will be connections with the Jersey City and Albany, the Erie branch lines, and through these lines to all principal roads running through to the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Appreciating the value this bridge, if constructed, would confer on the traffio of the two ituiruitus wiiiuu it wuuiu tuusc tu luim a continuous connection, the Erie Bailway Company and the New York, Boston and Montreal Bailway Company have combined in offering the Hudson {Suspension Bridge Company the sum of $8,000,000 as a loan for the construction of the bridge. The offer has been accepted, but the details of the terms of agreement have not yet been completed. The greater part of this sum will probably be obtained from the English capitalists who'are supporting the New Yorkj Boston and Montreal combination. It has not yet been decided how or when the loan is to be repaid, but the repayment will probably be made from the tolls received at the bridge for crossing. The officers of the company have lately been making estimates of the comparative cost of building the enormous piers of iron or masonry, and are of the opinion that iron will be much'cheaper, as the piers of this material can be much more quickly constructed, and can be worked upon at all times of the year. The estimated cost of the bridge is over $3,000,000. The design of the bridge is the combination truss and catenary single span. The main cables will consist of two series, the upper and the lower, the former being hung from the towers on each side, and the latter being anchored in the rocks near the base of the towers. There are to be twenty-four cables fourteen inches in diameter each, and divided into four systems. The body of the bridge will be constructed of a combination of steel and iron wire-work. There will be two deiks?one for the accommodation of foot passengers, and the other for railroad trains. The length of clear span of the bridge is to be 1,660 feet, which, with the length of the approaches, will give a total length of 2,450 feet. It will be elevated above high-water level at least 150 feet. It is estimated that there will be required to construct this bridge 70,000 miles of wire, 17,000 tons of iron and steel, and 60,000 yards of masonry. Jefferson's Cabinet. Mr. Farton says, that, in bestowing the great places of the Government, Jefferson evidently had it in view to exalt and stimulate the intellectual side of human nature, then under a kind of ban in Christendom. Every member of his cabinet was college-bred: and every man of them was in some peculiar way identified with knowledge. Madison was, above all things else, a student of constitutional science as well as of constitutional law. Gallatin, the founder of the glass manufacture of Pittsburg, was accomplished in the science of his day, eminently an intellectualized perBon. Dearborn, a graduate of Harvard, bad also been admitted to one of the learned professions. Robert Smith, of Maryland, Secretary of the Navy, a graduate of Princeton, after long eminence at the bar and in public life, died President of the Agricultural Society and provost of the university of Maryland. Gideon Granger, of Connecticut, Postmaster-general a graduate of Yale, a lawyer of learning and high distinction, fought through the Connecticut Legislature the liberal school fund, to which the State is ro much indebted. He was noted, all his life, as the intelligent and public-spirited friend of everybody high and advanced. It was he who promoted internal improvements in a manner to which the strictest constructionist could not object, by giving a thousand acres of land for the benefit of the Erie canal. Chancellor Livingston, whom Mr. Jefferson invited to his cabinet, and induced to go as Minister of France, was the most liberal graduate of King's College, in New York; he spent his leisure and income in promoting science, art, and agriculture. It waR his intelligent faith and his liberal outlay of money that enabled Robert Fulton to carry out John Fitch's idea of a steamboat. James Monroe, the least learned of the men whom Jefferson advanced, could give a glorious reason why he was not a graduate of a college. The battle of Lexington called him away from William and Mary to camp at Cambridge. The authorities at West Point havo entered an interdict against the cadets loaning their sashes and other military adornments to young ladies, and great is the force of feminine indignation. Calvin Bigelow tells the Lyndon, Yt., Union a sheep story. He has a ewe, whieh a few weeks since produced a lamb, and two weeks afterwards brought forth twins. Wegro Jurors. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial has been in the Red River Country, where the black population so largely preponderates, and the juries are selected from both races. He says: " I asked a white man who had had considerable jury experience, how it worked. He said "it worked tolerably well after a fellow got used to it." . ' Did it take much effort to get used to it ?""I asked. " Yes, siry you bet it was the confoundest hardest thing to get used to ever you heard of. I haven't got used to the smell yet. Of a hot day in a olose room with a lot of fat niggers sitting on a case, it's pretty hard. But we have to submit, for if some of us white people didn't go on the jury it would be all niggers, and that would be ruin." "How are the juries divided?" I asked. " Oh, just as it happens, so there is some of each race on every jury. Sometimes there's only two niggers, sometimes four, sometimes six, and sometimes ten." " How are they about agreeing upon verdicts?" "They are better than the whites. The niggers never hang a jury. When I am on a jury with them, and the suit is on an account, for instance, I just figure up the amount, and say: 'Boys, here, JoneB owes Smith so much and so much and so much, giving the figures, and Smith owes Jones so much and so much, giving figures, which leaves Jones behind with Smith so much, and that's what we must render judgment for.' They all agree to it, although they don't know any more about figures than a hog does about theology." " I'll say this for the niggers," he continued, "they are not stubborn on a jury at all; but so far as my experience goes, they are always anxious to do the right thing between man and man." " When their own color is involved, how is it?" I asked. "Just the same. They do not shield their own people. They'll hang a nigger for murder just as quick as they will a white man, and a good deal quicker. Sometimes I think they are a little too hard on their own race. But I suppose they fear we will charge them with partiality. On the whole, a nigger makes a pretty fair juryman." " Was there' no great opposition to his serving in that capacity ?" "Oh, yes. thunder was to pay for a while. White men said they wouldn't sit with a nigger, they would die first, and all that, but they had to swallow the dose, and have now got used to it. There is nothing like being used to anything, is there?" Anticipated Death of the German EmDeror. A letter from Berlin speaks of the precarious health of the Emperor William, and states that a few days before, the opinion among those nearest to him was that his speedy death was almost inevitable. Two days bGfore it was for a while thought he was really dead. He suddenly fell into a sort of trance, and he remained in this condition, apparently without breathing, for about thirty minutes. Then he revived and grew better until the 15th, when he again had a relapse. From this he has now once more recovered, and it begins to be hoped that he will pull through. But the strangest part of the story of his illness remains to be told. He received a great shock from the death of Prince Adalbert; and he was thoroughly persuaded in his own mind that he would die immediately after. Curiously enough, a vein of superstition runs through his mind; and he has a very lively fear of death. No sooner had he returned from St. Petersburg than this belief of his approaching death took possession of his mind, and he could not shake it off. He lost all his spirits; he could eat nothing; he grew thin and pale; and when his cousin's death was announced he took to his bed, declaring that his hour had come. During the days when his death was expected, there was much speculation as to the effect which that event would have on the position of Bismarck. Every one knows that the Crown Prince and the Chancellor are no friends. Among all the statesmen of the empire, none is more esteemed by the Crown Prince than Count Munster, the newly appoint ed Minister to Lendon; and a person in high authority has told me that when the Prince comes to the throne, the Count will be given Bismarck's place. Masquerading in Boy's Clothes. A correspondent at Little Rock, Ark. writes: That a marshal has just returned from AJlenville, Mo., having in his custody a young girl named Mollie Sherwood, who for intervals during the past two yew's has been passing for a boy under the name of Bill Henderson. About two years ago her parents, residing in Cape Girardeau, died. She was then thirteen years old, and her two brothers placed her out to work in a hotel at Allenville. Becoming tired of this emplovment, she donned boy's clothing, called herself Bill Henderson, and applied for and received a situation as post-boy to carry the mail to and from Allenville. For one year, unsuspected, she fulfilled the functions of this post. Then her sex was suspected, and at Allenville she was placed under arreast and compelled to wear the female garb. After this she tried working in a uoiei as mam servant, out suuu wring of this, again resumed the trousers and worked as a farm hand. Subsequently she came to Agusta, in this State, as a drover's assistant, and thence went to Jacksonport to work in a livery stable. After a while, the men and bovs about the stable, believing ber to be a woman, began to oall her names, and, as she says, in order to get away from the place, she took certain horses belonging to the stablemen and made off with them. The marshal followed her and overtook her with the horses at Allenville and arrested her on a charge oi horse stealing. The people there knew her well and were inclined to prevent the officers from arresting her. Pistols were drawn on both sides, but finally the girl went of her own free will with the marshal. She is now in the Jacksonport jail awaiting trial for horse stealing. The girl is a pretty blonde, and during all her vicissitudes her virtue has never been questioned.

About two o'clock Sunday morning, June 29th, a body of masked men entered Salem, Ind.? seised and held prisoners the town patrolmen, and, proceeding to the jail, demanded the keys of Deputy Sheriff Craycroft, who resides in the building. The sheriff refused to give up the keys under any peril* when he was seized and confined, and a-sledgehammer procured, with which the mob proceeded to force its way into the cell of Delos Hefferen, who murdered Halstead a few days since. They broke through the outer door and then got e foot-stairs leading to the upper story, where Hefferen's cell was situated. The cell had two doors, the first made oi wood, oovered on both sides with heavj iron plateB, the whole being abeut nine inches thick, and fastened with heavj iron staples and a padlock. This dooi was soon broken open, and the mot reached the second doob, about three feet behind the first. This door wae made of inch solid iron, but was sooi burst open, and the murderer stood face to face with the vigilants. Hefferei had watched the progress of the mob which came thirsting for his blood, anc had prepared himself as well as hi could for desperate resistance. Know ing death awaited him if taken, he de termined to fight to the last with somi pieces of the furniture of bis ceil. Hi stood like a tiger at bay and guardec the door. The mob, knowing the des perate character of the man, and tha the first who entered would nfeet certaii death, hesitated to effect an entranoe TKow nvAAnro/1 holla of fwinfl aatiiratpi' them with cool oil and turpentine, am threw some of them into the cell, am threw others forward on the ends o long poles and set them ablaze. Having thus lighted up the cell, bringing th< victim into full view, the mob openec tire upon him. Some twenty shots wer< tired, one of which entered his breast and another broke his arm. This in capacitated him from using the arn which held the chair he had seized t< defend himself. A rock was thrown a him, and struck him on the head an< knocked him down, and before he coul< recover he was seized, tied, and dragge< out of the cell and of the jail. " What are you going to do with me ?' he asked. " Hang you," was the reply. " I will go along with you," he said He was immediately taken to a cov ered railroad bridge, about thirty fee high, about two Bquares from the jail where he asked time to pray, but thi lynchers replied they could not wait The rope was put around his neck am thrown over a rafter of the bridge Hefferen was then pushed off. As sooi as he was dead the lynchers returned t< the jail, gathered up everything thej had left that could afford a clue to thei1 | identity, released the sheriff and guards and scattered in every direction. Nom were recoguii&cu, auu uu yciovu n i by what road they entered or left town tfhe body was hanging till four o'clock when it was taken down and brough home. Only the citizens living nea; the jail were aware of the affair. Th< greatest excitement prevails in the towi and vicinity. A Sufferer from Indian Barbarity. We received a call, says a Kansaj paper, from Jacob I. Large, a man who some months ago, was attacked am scalped on the plains near Fort Dodg< by a band of seven Indians, headed b; Little Crow, the son of the famoui Little Crow, who was killed in 1861 ii Minnesota. It seems that Mr. Large who has been a frontiersman nearly al his life, having gone to Wisconsin in ai early day of the settlement of tka State, and from thence to Minnesota was the man who killed the dreadet chief in one of his raids on the whit< settlers near the town of Hutchison, 01 the Crow River, in 1861, and was knowi and his life threatened by Little Crow'i son, who was with his father at the tinn of his death. Large came to Kansai and stopped at Fort Dodge, from whicl point he reconnoitered the surroundinj country in search of a good claim, and while out one day, he was overtaken b; this band of Indians, who were on i buffalo hunt, and recognized by Littli Crow. Large ran from them but wai too slow of foot to escape ; his leg wai broken in two places, and his seal] taken from his eyebrows to the crown o his head, and then he was left on th< prairie to die. He was picked up by i scouting party from the Fort and takei in for treatment. His leg healed, bu his head is a fearful tight, and will be i long time healing, if it ever does. Om of his eyes has become blind. As sooi as he was able to walk his anxiety t< return home started him off on foot ii that direction. Operations of a Swindler. Some recent successful operation! by a swindler in Qniney, 111., are thui described by the Herald of that city: " About ten days ago a bnsiness-liki appearing man arrived in the city anc immediately began making preparation! for commencing business in grain buy ing, under the firm name of T. S. Hun dack k Co., representing himself ai being connected with a prominen Eastern concern. He rented a store house of Nathan Pinkham, Esq., am purchased a few lots of wheat, whicl lie subsequently sold to firms here ii small lots,taking checks for the amount One lot to Allen k Whjer's amountec to 8129, for which he received thei check for the amount. Meanwhile hi had contrived to get introduced t< several of our banking houses, and de poBited, we believe about 8490 in cur rency in the First National. The checl of Allen k Whyers he also depositei there, after raising it to 8929. Anothe check, drawn by Bagbv & Wood, raise< to 8*2,800, he deposited with the Unioi Bank. We didn't learn the origins amonnt of this check. Two checks o Monuing Brothers, aggregating abon 83,000, were also deposited with thesi banks, and Bent by them to Ricker' Bank, where they were paid. A fe\ days later Hundack drew from each o the banks all that had been placed b [ his credit on these checks, except i very 6mall balance, and that was th last seen of him in these parts."

Seymour's addresses upon topics conneoted with the early history of New York State are always interesting and valuable. Peculiarly so was the oration he delivered at Hamilton i College at the dedication of the monu' ment to the memory of Rev. Samuel i Kirkland, the founder of that institution. In the course of it he said: H nm. - -l-.'in 41* a nv*o rttnr > IliC UlliCl 1UICXCOV 1U VUG V/UW4 l?VWA. I of Kirkland grows out of bis labors in behalf of the confederate nations of Indians, who in their day held the desti1 nies of this oonntry in their hands, k They were savage, fierce) wild( and cruel, bill they were also a heroic and | patric 1c people. They were brave and 't skillful warriors, wise legislators, keen ' diplomatists, and eloquent orators. In r all these respects they towered above i all other tribes upon this continent. r They held in subjection a vast extent of . country, and in proportion to their , numbers they conquered thotb enemies ( and held control of more territory by . force of arms than any people of which { history gives account since the days of [ Alexander the Great By the testimony j of friends and enemies alike, they are shown to be the foremost tribes within ( the limits of the United States. Until } Europeans came, their boast that they . 'were men excelling all other men,' was not a vain one so far as wisdom, j diplomacy, and arms were concerned. A gentleman of this State, and a dej scendant of one of its mos^ honored families, has given me a statement det rived from the highest authority, which j shows the mastery they had gained over the coast tribes. After the whites [ had formed large settlements about the I harbor of New York and its vicinity, I the Long Island Indians sold some of ? their land to their oivilized neighbors _ without the permission of their Iroquois * masters. It was difficult to punish this j act by war without making trouble 3 with the whites. A single Monawk warrior took upon himself the duty of ' vindicating the honor of his people. ^ Armed with his tomahawk and deco, rated with his war paint, he trod the t forest paths along the banks of the j Mohawk and the Hudson, passed l' through the white settlements to the I village of the guilty tribe. Having called a council of its warriors, he re? proached them for their act of disre* ? ? ? X. A. ? ? - ? J ~ il.m? And da_ BjJtfCb 1/UWUrUB tucu Uiaoicio, aiiu UCmantled the name of the man who first signed the deed. A chief arose and 1 said it was his act. As he nttered this t admission, the Mohawk struck him dead with his tomahawk, and, turning j on his heel, went back upon his solitary path unmolested and unquestioned." i . Heirs Wanted to an Estate WoHh a i Million Dollars. ^ Some excitement was created in the r city of Erie, Penn., by the appearance , of Mr. Geo. Winbigler, or Winbiger, as 3 one oi the heirs of the Winbigler estate, at Erie, Penn., estimated to be worth t more than 81,000,000, which estate is t now managed by the county of Erie, r It appears that three of the Winbiger i or Winbigler brothers came to this l country about the same time, and J^cob, whose estate is located in Erie, settled in the northwestern part of Pennsylvania, which subsequently proved to be Erie county, where he accumulated-cons siderable property. He had but one child, a daughter, who was married, j and both herself and husband died shortly after their marriage, leaving no 3 heirs, and in fact none could be found f up to the present time, who could show s any claim to the property. But it is now ascertained that the real heirs reside in Ohio, and are among the most ? respectable citizens. They feel confi1 dent to be able to fully establish their j claim and right to the property. Part , of this estate is included in the beautiful public park of the city of Erie and other adjoining lands and lots, which 1 are finely improved. Measures are be9 ing completed to send an attorney to 1 Germany to procure the proper family 1 register, under official seals, while .the 3 records of the family since landing in 3 America, will be gathered.

A correspondent who has jnst taken a trip over the Kansas Pacific Railway ?from Kansas city to Denver?^ftef giving a glowing discription of the Grand Plains of Kansas?the Buffalo Antelope Ac.,?institutes the following comparsion between the mountain heights and the climate of Colorado and Switzerland: A comparison of heights between ilie towns of this neighborhood and some points in Switzerland may perhaps be interesting. The highest part of the Splugen Pass is six thousand nine hundred feet above the sea) the Bighi is five thousand nine hundred ; St. Goth' ard Pass, six thousand eight hundred and eight; La Flegire, six thousand three hundred and fifty ; the Hospice of St. Bernard?the highest point of Switzerland inhabited all the year round ?is eight thousand two hundred feet, two hundred feet lower than Central ahd Georgetown, four.. hundred feet lower than the toWtt of Empirei ahd rtt least five thousand feet lower than the winter quarters of miners in the Comoro lode, on Mount Lincoln. When I reached Central at New Year's, there was no snow on the ground nor any to be seen mtne canon?and as lor glaciers and avalanches, you might as well look for them in New York; and yet the latitude of the central part of Switzerland is only seven degrees north of that of our mountain towns. The air there in winter Is at intervals so soft and balmy that furs are insupportable, and only one moderate stove, is needed in the great parlor of the Teller House. The received idea here is that the immense bulk of the Rocky Mountains radiates more heat than would be received by a larger proportion of isolated peaks, or single range, and thus moderates the general temperatura. Quien sabc t A Physician who Hkalkd Himself. ?If a railroad director were lashed to , every locomotive, there would be fewer railroad accidents, and if doctors had to take their own physio before administering it to their patienis, fewer people would be poisoned. Dr. Joseph Walker, of California, took this course when he first compounded the famous Vinegar Bitters, which now ranks as an inestimable household remedy in all parts of the United States. He healed himself with this specific before he offered it to the world. He introduced it with a simple statement of the manner in which he had discovered its vegetable incrredients and been cured, while wan dering, sick and poor, among the California tribes. He stated what the preparation had doqe for himself, and a few sufferers from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and many other prevalent disorders, believed him, tried the new restorative, and were more than satisfied with the results. In this way the sale of the Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention the fact as an evidence that in this age of intelligence and inquiry, nothing that is really valuable to mankind can prove a pecuniary failure?even though it may lack the help of capital, and have to fight its way against powerful opposing interests. Within two or three months after its introduction, the article became self-supporting, and it now yields a magnificent annual revenue.? Com.

It li of great Importance that the system ihonld be In a vigorous condttljn when the hot weather commence!. The effects of a high temperature upon an enfeebled frame are always more or lesa dliaitroue. The loss sfmbstance and thedeclenelon of nervoua power, occaetoned by excessive heat, can only be compensate! by the active, healthful, and regular exercise of all the bodily functions by which the waste of nature Is replenished and the vital energies renewed. The great utility of Bostetter's Stomach Bitters as a means of tontng, invigorating and regulating the organs of the body, is universally acknowledged. As a tontc it stimulates the flagging apretite and accelerates digestion; as a corrective It neutralizes acidity if the stomach and relieves flatulency; as an alterative an<t mild aperient tt regulates the liver and the bowels; as an anodyne it promotes tranquil sleep; as a wholesome stimulant it imparts firmness and elasticity to the relaxed and trembling nerves, and as a blood depureut It purifies the vital stream. The value of such a specific to the weak and debilitated is beyond all estimate. To Invalids wilted down by the sultry heat of milsummer, it leas refreshing and vitalizing as the cool night dew to the sun-scorched flowers.

They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invlgorator of the system. Never before in the | history of the world has a medicine been " compounded possessing the remarkable I qualities of Vinegar Bursas in healing the ? nek of every disease man is heir to.

Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnr. egar Bitters the most wonderful In- . vigorant that ever sustained the sinking I system. J No Person can take these Bitters I according to directions, and remain long * unwell, provided their bones are not de- ? stroyed by mineral poison or other [ means, and vital organs wasted beyond r< repair. Bilious. Remittent and Inter* mittent Fevers, which are so prevalent In the valleys of our great rivers throughout the' United States, especially tho80-of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- j sas, Red, Colorado, Brazoe, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and manv others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of tho stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, ; as they will speedily remove tho darkcolored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. roraiy me oony against, uim-ukv by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters.

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases ol the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, ] these Bitters have no equal.

Pin, Tape, and other Worms, ' lurking in the system of so many thousands, 1 are effectually destroyed and removed. No j srstein of medioine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics will freo the system from worms , like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young ] or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- 1 manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic j Bitters display so decided an influence that 1 improvement is soon perceptible. 1 ' Cleanse the YitJated Blood when- ! ever yoa find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores: cleanse it when yon find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell von when.
