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.
Ida Lewis, the heroine of Lime
Rock, Newport, has separated from her
husband. No one could ever tell why
she married him. Certainly not for
want of somebody to talk to. A "heroine"
in a light-house isn't the solitary
being that most people imagine.
Mob Law In Indlaiia.
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.

Ex-Gov. 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:

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."

. 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

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.?

Suggestions for Summer.
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. Com
p >aed of vegetable elements only, with a basis of
pure diffusive stimulant, it 1s safe and palatable as
well as medicinal In fever and ague districts, and
wherever the natural conditions arc conducive to
eptdomtc disease, It Is considered the best safe
guard agai"st malarious infection,and the speediest
remedy for intermittent and remittent fevers.

Bp, J. Walker's California Yin
egaf Bitters are a purely Vegetable i
preparation, made chiefly from the na-^
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of .
the Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of Alcohol- The question is almost
daily asked, " What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of Vijtegar Bit
TKRst" Our answer is, that they remove J
the cause of disease, and the patient re- I
covers his health. 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. Ther r
are a gentle Purgative as well aa a Tonio. *'

Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnr. egar
Bitters the most wonderful In- .

No Person can take these Bitters I
according to directions, and remain long *

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.

In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases,
Walker's Vinegar Bitters have shown
their great curative powers in the
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent

these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases {
are caused by Vitiated Blood.

Scurfs, Discoloration* of the Skin, Humors 1
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name 1
or nature, are literally dug up and carried <
out of the system in a short time by the use .
of these Bitters. !
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. Keep
the blcod pure, and the health of the system
ill follow.
