I From the outlook at pres?nt,i the Spanish-American unpleas- j antness will soon be referred to as ?T , "our late war with Spain." unless i some other nation come to her aid,. ' ; the buughlySpaniards will soon be forced to bow the suppliant knee before the nation whose people ; they so recently stigmatized as "Yankee pigs." This will be a : bitter pill lor Spain, but a wholesome one. With insurgent iorces in Cuba and the Philippines, riots at home, the "sinews of war" exhausted by reason of the shaky condition of the Bank of Madrid, and, worsl of all, the best part of the Spanish navy hopelessly caged in the harbor of Santiago, to con tinue the struggle would be suicidal; and we believe Spain is as anxious for peace now as she was clamorous for war at the outset. The war has cost the United Stale a good, round sum already, and the lives of several brave men; but it will not be altogether bar-1 ren of results. With the Philip pines practically ours, Havana ready to capitulate, and the capture of Porto Pico almost a certainty, a thumping indemnity at at least can be required of Spain. But the best result of the war is that the efficacy of our new navy 1 has been demonstrated, and the fact established that our seamen arc the peers of any that ever trod j a deck in coolness, ski1!, and dar- lng. The Powers of Europe, j which have been jealously watch- j ing our increasing greatness, will' be exceeding careful to avoid' complications with our government, and respect the United States as they never have done before. And outofe.vi' will come good to Spain also. After this Jesson, she will he much morQ considerate towards the su'jects of her few renaming dependen-j cies; and in handling her explosives,she will doubtless take care that she does not turn them to j ward the ships of friendly nations,) which happen to be in her har-j bor. With great pleasure we add to our exchange list the Trenton Call, a wide-awake, rive-column ' weekly, published at Trenton, S. C. We wish for it a Ions and sue- j cessful life; and may the skin of a | persimmon be sufficient umbrella: to cover the heads ot all its *'ininiies." The Greenwood Journal is now I issued semi-weekly. e congratulate our esteemed contemporary upon i this progressive step forward. The Journal is one of our most valued exchanges, and we are pleased'at the ] prospect of receiving its visits twice as often in future. Concerning the War.

Gigantic Natural Bridge Hidden In ifc Wilderness of the Mate. Few people know that Wisconsii possesses a natural bridge, wit) nearly if not quite as much attract iveness as the one in Virginia mad famous by the visits of Ueorg' Washington. The Badger bridge i located in the town of Htiney Creek about 20 miles from this city and ; miles east of Prairie du Sac. Tb bridge is, in fact, only a giganti archway detached from the face o a rocky bluff facing the Wisconsii river by the action of the elements I but as a natural curiosity lias only i local reputation so far. Few visitor except from the immediate vicinity Vovti t r/tlllllo 4a t>inL*i ; iia > u v > ux iaA^u 11J v uuuuiu iw iiiun' | a trip in this direction, probably be causo this part of Sauk county una , until recent years, cut off from rail i roads and not easy of access. Evei now it requires considerable pluc) 1 to endure the long ride through thi sands of the Wisconsin river bottom: which lie between the old prairie o the Sac Indians and the bluff. ()n< is amply repaid for a visit by the at iitiiuvtriifaai <JI iuc piaue. A devious route through a farmer'i plowed field is trodden by a guid< in reaching the faeo of the elif where is found the bridge. It is no until within a short distance of thi bluff that the archway can be seei because of the timber and under brush partially concealing it. Upon stepping between the bluf and the arch the immensenessof tin task which nature has accomplishes is apparent. The under part of tin arch is ubout CO feet above the flooi in the highest part and varies froa that down to about 30 feet where i joine the supporting rocks. The spai is from 10 to 25 feet thick and aboui 15 feet wide. The pathway across tin top is a trifle over three feet wide ir its narrowest place, and a cool heac is needed to make the passage ovei unan Tito tiorc/tn ctfirwlirw* nr\r*r liiV A UV ? Wtl U|)V/1 the top of the spun is probably 10( feet above the average level of the surrounding country, and the scene spread beforo him is one of rural Wisconsin scenery unsurpassed. Although the couutry has been settled for many years, yet the ruggedness of the scene seems hardly diminished by the hand of man in his effort* to conquer the soil and make foi himself a home in these romantic surroundings. Except for the occasional log house, or, rarely, its frame successor, the place would seem as though in its original condition, sc completely niuuen irom view ny tangled underbrush and heavy woods are the tilled lands of tk( husbandmen. About the base of the archway are signs of human visitations, and the visitor learns that here the peo pie of the surrounding country comt to celebrate the Fourth of July, and the remains of rustic booths, a bro ken beer glass or two and othei signs of past pleasures are noted. Underneath the floor of the arch it a huge cavern 7 feet high, 25 feel deep and from 20 to CO feet long, created by the action of the watei rushing down the face of the hill and under the archway after a heavy rain. This cavern makes a natural beer cellar, which the inhabitants ol the region, nearly all ot wnom art Germans, utilize as a barroom upor the occasion of the celebration referred to. The Wisconsin natural bridge is certainly worth traveling miles tc see. Milwaukee Sentinel. .
