THE CENTENNIAL FBEBHET.
Destruction of the AnEusta Bridge.
Oar article, in yesterday’s issue, upon-
tbe centennial freshet, indicated that the
Macon and Augusta railroad bridge was
in danger. Wo regret to state that tbo
worst apprehensions have been realized,
and the bridge is totally destroyed- The
middle pier, which showed signs of weak
ening night before last, continued to grow
weaker, the bridge all the while yielding
as tho support crumbled away. At 8
o’clock yesterday morning the bridge part
ed in tbe middle, both ends still resting,
however, upon what was left of the pier.
But it was apparent that they could not
remain in that position very long. The
torrent of water was unabated in its vio
lence, and dashed along as angrily as the
day before, and seemed to reach np a3 if
to tear the bridge from its fastenings for
the mere pleasure of sweeping it away.
After breaking down, no one believed
it would remain in its position fire min
utes, but it was not until ten o’clock
that tho final support gave way and the
west end of the bridge went down into
the water with a crash that told how
utterly it was ruined.
The other half of the bridge still re
mains, though it is in a bad condition,
and not likely to ever' again be of any
service in rebuilding. The entire struc
ture will have to be made new—which
will possibly occupy two or more weeks.
In the meantime, we hope the road will
be able to arrange for the transfer of its
passengers and freights, so as to oc
casion as little delay as possible.
_ There havo been no trains on the road
since Monday afternoon, and we have had
no mails from Augusta since Saturday.
The trestle on the Muscogee road over
Beaver creek i3 still submerged, but
it is not known whether or not any
of it has been washed away. It has
been deemed unwise to pass a train over
it, for fear that there might be a point
too weak to bear a train; hence we are
having no Columbus mails.
The Macon and Brunswick railroad is
still under water, and is washed also;
but to whit extent it is not known. It
will be several days before the trams can
run as heretofore.
A dispatch received from Augusta
yosterday informs U3 that the Oconee
bridge is gone.
From other sections of the State wo
have no definite information, other than
tLat given on our first page.
Tho river bpgan to fall somo time
during Monday, and np to sundown yes
terday had gone down about two feet.
The lower end of tho park was still un
der water.
It is impossible as yet to form any esti
mate of the damage that has been done
in this vicinity by the flood, and it is not
certain that any correct estimate will
ever be formed.
Tne park, we hope, will not be so seri
ously damaged, a3 was apprehended.
About four hundred yards of the south
ern side of the enclosure is down, though
we believo but little of tho lumber was
washed away. A few day’s work, for a
few hands, will, we think, soon put the
place to rights, and make it as lovely as
ever.

How Columbus Delano Squelched
Grant
From tlio Cincinnati Enquirer.)
It now transpires that the true inward
ness of the delay iu Delano’s resignation
as Secretary of tho Interior was a threat
he hold over the President’s head in re
gard to Orvil’s rascality in conneotion
with tho post traderships. When Grant
demanded Delano’s resignation last sum
mer, he has toned to Long Branch and
shook evidence of Orvil’s roguery in
the President’s face, and defied Grant to
push him from his place in the Interior
Department. Grant saw Delano was
not in tne humor to bo trifled with, and
he had tamely to submit and allow the
Secretary to resign at leisure. Xt is now
thought that if Delano can be summoned
as a witness, evidence enough can be
brought from him to impeach' Grant.
Delano, Cowan and that Board of Audi
tors are at Sacramento, California, ready
to jump tbe country if an attempt is
mado to make them testify. *
Infamous Entbrfrises.—The Phila

ment that thieves, sharpers and human
vultures of every kind and degree are
thronging there in advance of the visit
ore and laying their plans of operation for
the Centennial. -Gae of the moat infa
mous enterprises brought to light is an
agency for tho purpose of enticing re
spectable young women from the country
to dens of iniquity hi that city. Circu
lars aro being scattered through seigh-
boriegtowns and cities, addressed to girls
whose names havo been somehow obtain
ed, promising them pleasant situations
about the exhibition buildings at large
pay, and advising them to leave their
homes secretly, lest their parents should
object. The originators of this scheme
sign themselves Hayes, Arlington &
Brother, and have been using the post-
office in furtherance of their wicked de
signs. Another kindred enterprise is the
opening of bogus employment agencies
in certain parts of the oity to entrap re
spectable women into the clutches of
harpies. The municipal authorities
should use every exertion to bring the
authors of these And similar enterprises
to speedy punishment.

Queen of tbe Indies.
Kite Field, in a London letter to the
Courier Journal, ssjb :
Whether tbe idea of a new title origina
ted with her majesty or with her msjar
ty’s prime minister, is plunged in unfath
omable donbt. Some declare it to be
“just Iik* melodramatic Disraeli.’’ Oth
ers insist that the queen herself is respon
sible. “There havo been rows in the roy
al family, yon Ree, a* to the statna of the
Dpohess of Edinghmgh. She claimed
precedence of the Princes* Beatrice, as
being the daughter of an emperor, a claim
that bas not been allowed. Were the
queen an empress, this point of etiquette
would be settled at once.’* As my ac
quaintance with royalty thto slight as to
be imperceptible to the naktdeye, I don't
pfetend to know the faots; bnt if a Rus
sian woman is at tbe bottom of this very
pretty quarrel, it seems a great waste of
lungs and type, for the duchess of Edin
burgh has gone home to hsr parents, and
they do say that she will not return. A
little lady sitting beside me, who h«B re
cently visited Russia, declares that the
Russians hate the dnko of Eiinbnrgh;
that the grand dnchc83 loved a Russian
yonng man, and on her kneea begged ber
father not to bind her to her present hus
band. As nobouy bas a good word for
Victoria’s second son, I fancy there is
mnch troth in reports of his wife's un
happiness. I must confess, however,
that the imperial lady looks as though
she bad a temper of her own. Were she
not the daughter of a cz*r I should say
that she was ugly and—cross. Still, in
spite cf physiognomy, she may be an
angel of sweetness and light. For the
sake of her sex and her two little chil
dren, who deserve to have one amiable
parent, I hope so.

Weak lungs and sensitive tbroats are
severely tried by the sudden changes of
temperature ooourring during onr winters,
and in conseqnenoe asthmatic affections,
inflammation of the longs, pleurisy, bron
chitis, and similar com plaints are 6nre to
be more or leae prevalent. Coughs and
colds, the forerunners of these often fatal
oomplaints, should be prudently taken in
hand on thefirat symptoms, by resorting at
once to Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, an old
and well-tried remedy, certain to remove
yonr cold, and to exert a healing and
strengthening effect on the pnimonary
and bronchial organa.
