He shows that New York ia jthe most bridgelcss city extant of the first class; that London has nine bridges over the Thames, Paris twenty-seven ibridges over the Seine, Venice 856 bridges. He puts down the population of London at over 3,800,000.

The trusts in manufactured gas may Hinwl fViftlr fpar nf natural nam aa a #>nm. petitor, exclaims the Chicago tier aid. No one any longer believes that gas wells are inexhaustible, and they are already failing in regions where the flow has been most abundant. Even Pittsburg, i.. .. whose awful smoke has been abolished " and whose coal bills have been reduoed to comparatively nothing by tbe use of natural gas, is compelled to admit that he must soon lose her inestimable ad* |r a' vantages. The supply has fallen off enormously. No attempt is now made by the companies to furnish gas to the entire ; city, and 500 furnaces were cut off some ago in order to enable them to conjjr tinuc the supply to other consumers in jHP greater need of it. One company alone is sinking twenty-three new wells, but uau#lly when the flow begins to fall the inking of new wella but heus\fni it* de" cline, and relief from tbia source is doubtful. The indications are that Pittaburg will be compelled to give up the toonderful economies and conveniences ^ which natural gaa has conferred upon her. As the wells which supply thai city are tbe largest in the country th< prospect is not encouraging for othsi natural gas communities. I . Bk . ouirJULKWN STATE NEWS.

His Attitude Toward the Farmers' Alliance He Says is Friendly, and Will Now Join the Organization. Oen. John B. Gordon came to the city from hit, Taylor county stock farm, writes an Atlanta. Ga.. reporter, looking ruddy and somewhat sunburnt, in excellent health and spirits. 1 he reporter caught him on the wiug. as it were, and asked him if he was willing to make public his intentions in refcranwrter farhlTJg the Farmers' Alliance. 7'fce General promptly replied : . J have not the slightest join the Alliance ?M "Yes. I shall join the AlliancP;* he replied. "As often stated in my public, speeches during the campaign which has just ended. 1 nirt rind hnvo long been in ullest sympathy with the grertt objects ioi which the Fanners' Alliance wits or gaui/.ed?napiely. equal rights to all and special privileges to nouc-?an abundant supply of currency under improved sys loins that shall make that currency avail able to the producers and masses at less cost or interest, and so managed that at the season of gathering and marketing I the great crops of the country the supply shall be increased in proportion to the tnnrenscd demand created at those seasons. That is to say. 1 am iu favor of some svs tern that shall make the currency elastic in character and adequate iu volume at all seasons to meet the special exigencies of the those seasons." "How would you accomplish this nui f ' "To answer that question will lequirc a very long discnssioil. altogether out of place iu such a talk as this, bit* I will ay generally that 1 am not particularly wedded to any plan, and i:s 1 have said in my spee? he* before the Seuatoriel eler lion. 1 repeat now that 1 ?hall favor that plan which the combined wisdom of the friends of financial reform may agree up on as most practicable aud effective. Von will remember that I have steadfastly maintained that tlie wise course is for all the friends of financial reform to co oper ate for the general result and agitate until the whole country is aroused, aim then, after the victory is won. to counsel together aud agree upon the plans. "It is cpsy enough to find the way, \\ lien we have ine'u enough who have the. will to accomplish the result. hi reference to the < irculuting medium country, it is bound, by avery "consirlcr^ tion of justice, of good conscience and of w'.se policy to supply the people with all t ic currency necessary for conducting all business without involving the country in these periodical seasons of financial stringency and without inflicting such periods of depression on the productive energies of the masses." Do you wish to say anything about the proposed Third Party movement ?" "I am uucomprontisingly aud unconditionally opposed to it." "Do you then oppose the movement being made for a people's party iu the Western States ?" "No; I think it is probably the best course tin' Western farmers can now be induced to take. * * * The success of tl?i? movement in the West means the restoration of fraternal rcjptions between the South >ind West and a closer allium e of ii^ylustrial classes who are especially and most largely interested in agricultur al success aud independence. "At the South, however, we have a condition of affairs which forbids any di visions or dissensions iu our ranks. We must hold together for the preservation of our States and in order to conserve our social aud material, as well as political, interests. Dissensions with us mean bitter political feuds, ending perhaps in the triumph of the worst elements and in so rim :iimi material retrogression, "Haveyou he^rd thut some of your Alliance friends are talking of you in eou uectiou witli the presidency of the State Alliance ?" "Yes, 1 have lieen approached on the subject; hut I wish to say most positively and with emphasis that I would not accept that 01 any otticc in the Alliance, so long as I hold any political office or ant a candidate for political position. 1 agree most fully with Col. L L. Polk in the opinion that the officers of the Alliance ought to be ineligible to political office and freed from the temptation to use the Order for personal ends so long as they hold positions of trust and influence in the brotherhood. 80 far hs I am concerned, as long as I am in political life 1 shall labor as a layman in the ranks for Alliance principles. "Whatever influguce I shall be able to wield will be exerted in the direction of conservative counsels and harmony inside the Order, but for a vigorous aud aggres sivc policy against sectional agitation and class legislation, which have proven so hurtful to the farming interests in the past." "Will you join soon "Yes. I should have belonged to the Order long ago, but as 1 was a candidate, or expected to be a candidate, for political office, I feared my motives might l>c misinterpreted.
