Burp... Any or All of tbs Wonder, ofl
the Ancient.—Some of Amefica'. Be*
rn.rk.bla Achievements.
Compared with tho seven wonders of
the world classified by the ancients there
are seven times seven wtmders now. The
fabled Colossns of Rhodes, the Alexan
drian lighthouse, the hanging gardens of
Babylon, sink i.to insignificance beside
the achievements of modem times. The
Colossus of Rhodes was, in all probabil
ity, a myth, while the Bartholdi statue is
an accomplished fact, and undoubtedly
equal in point of achievement to any of
the seven wonders of the ancients, not
even excepting tho pyramids.
As a matter of fact, the real wonders
of the world, albeit they have ceased for
the most part to bo wonders by reason
of familiarity, represent inventions
rather than engineering and architect
ural skill; tho railway, the steamboat, tho
photograph, the telescope and the self
binding reaper aro in themselves won
ders of which tho Egyptians and the
Greeks never dreamed. But iq the line
of engineering skill, which was tho most
prominent feature of tho original seven
wonders, thero are so many proud
triumphs that it is by no means an easy
matter to name tho foremost seven.
THE MODERN LIST.
The list comprises tho Forth bridge, in
Scotland; New Y’ork’s underground
aqueduct, which is thirty miles long, on
an average 130 foot underground, and
ent through rock; the Eiffel tower; the
Brooklyn bridge; the SL Gothard ton-
nel, between Switzerland and Italy, be
gun at a height of 1,340 feet, and cut for
nine and one-lialf miles through the solid
rock; tho improvements at Hell Gate,
and the jottics at the month of tho Mis
sissippi. It is easy to take exceptions to
this list.
There aro probably few intelligent peo-
plo who will not dispute the claims of
some ono or other of these achievements.
The. Eiffel tower, for example, lofty as it
is, should scarcely 1* permitted to crowd
out the Suez canal, and the engineering
feat of removing the obstructions at
Hell Gate is hardly to be compared with
the bnilding cf tho Pacific railroads.
Tho Siberian railroad also is entitled to
dispnto the claim of some of the wonders ]
in the list, whilo the Bartholdi statuo is ;
scarcely to be crowded ont, not only for !
its colossal proportions, but by reason of ]
tho skill required to produce the results
Knowing that, local election was go
ing on in Grenada, Mies., I asked a col
ored man, whom I found cutting wood
about four miles out of town, wbyhe
wasn’t at the polls.
“Wall, I do an’ dnn take a heap of in
terest in dat lechshun," he answered.
“But why?"
“Bight smart o’ reasons why, sah.
S'posin’ 1 git up to do polls an’ .Mars
Smith says to me: ‘Reuben, I want dem
fo’ dollars yo' owessno fur bacon afore
yo’wote.' How’slgwino ter pay him,

“I see."
“S'posin' I git up to do polls an’ Mars
Jessup lays his hand on my shoulder an'
says: 'Yo' ole black Reuben, whar's dat
log chain yo’ borrowed of mo las' fall to
haul sticks? 1 How’s I gwino ter tell him
dat some nigger has dun stole it away
from me?"'
“Yes.”
“.S'posin' I walk np to dat winder wid
a woto in my hank an’ Mars Roberts
calls ont to all de folks, ‘Heah's do man
what knows sunthin' ’bout dat yearlin’ I
lost last summer!’ Docs yo" reckon I
could git dat wote in arter dat?"
“Hardly.”
“An’ B'poein’," he continued, as he
leaned on his ax, “dat I should git all
ready to woto an’Mars Ben Walters, an’
Mars Tom Davis an’ Mars George Turner
should cry ont at me: ’Wliar's dem
chickens? Whar’s dem hogs? Wliar’s dat
honey?’ Do yo' dun reckon I could lift a
hoof to git ont o' dat!'”
“But you don’t acknowledge that yon
are guilty of stealing hogs, chickens,
honey and so forth?” I asked.
“I doan’t 'zactly ’knowledge to nuthin’,
sah, but Tze free to say dat dere has bin

Little Mardre’s
Curloilty Rewarded.
An nmnsing instance of southern per
severance under difficulties recently came
to our ears. A young lady from Louisi
ana had heard much of Mrs. Leslie Car
ter’s beauty, and fearful that she would
not see the now star in tho south tho en
terprising girl mado friends with a
habitue of the Ladies’ Athletic club,
which adjoins the Berkeley Lyceum,
where Mrs. Carter is rehearsing, and
coaxed tho latter to find out if there was
any secret communication between tho
buildings. Curiosity found a way, but
a very small one, and the girls crawled
through it and obtained an entrance to
tho Berkeley while rehearsing was on.
Mias Enteto (this isn’t her real name)
enjoyed the breaking in more than she
aimed i.t. Thero aro several cantilever i did the rehearsal. She says Mrs. Carter
bridges also, some ono of which is likely j is being coached by Belasco, even to tho
to suggest itself to engineers as having i least inflection of her voice. The ad-
good grounds for dispnting the place in
the list of seven.
To many unfamiliar with tho problem
to bo solved it may seem os if tho jetties
of the Mississippi wero hardly entitled
to a place in the list. There are no
mighty buttresses of stone, no marvel
ous structures by human hands to arrest
attention—only lines of willow basket
work, filled with mud and gravel and
sunk in the river channel. Bnt we see
mirable points about her are her abun
dant blonde hair and her dressing. She
wore a neglige—ono of thoso famous
negliges — of shimmering blue which
fitted her form liko a mold. The two
girls staid through about luilf aa hour of
“Did I say that right, Mr. Belasco?" and
“Is that tho way you want mo to do HT

simple means suggested by the genius of
Capt. Eads.
smrLK BBT WONDERFUL.
Hero is tho problem: A river necessary
to the inland commerce of a continent,
whoso waters continually bear vast
quantities of sand and gravel toward the
sea. A cubic mile of solid earth, it lias
been estimated, is thus borne (down by
the Mississippi every year. When the
stream met tho waters of the gnlf the
current was checked by the inflowing
tides, and a great bnrdeu of earthy mat
ter was deposited, whilo tho river spread
ont over a great "extent of territory.
Navigation was rendered uncertain and
dangerous, and millions of dollars ex
pended in dredging brought no practical
results. The river could beat the United
States government in a contest waged
on that line. i
Then came CapL Eads with a propo
sition to gather the willows along the
shores, make them into crates or mat
tresses, fill them with mud and grivel,
place them in parallel lines where a
channel was wanted, and set the river to
do its own digging by means of a quick
ened current. That was tho basis of the
jetty system, which has more than

Everybody, no doubt, has long thought
that there was still a great deal to bo
desired in the matter of ernetstands—
pepper bottles with brassy tops that
come off when yon turn them upside
down, and shower pepper in shoals upon
yonr underdone mutton; vinegar bottles
minus the vinegar; another bottle with
a 'thick sediinenty something inside
which you ore informed is “Worsted
sauce,” and a mustard pot. At last,
however, invention has stepped in and
patents havo been gone for, and there4s
a real now thing called tho patent auto
matic mustard pot. It is a vory inge
nious contrivance and is made in on
electroplate or nickel silver case. It has
a sliding piston, which you press, and
then tbe mustard comes out, just oa
much ns you desire, and keeps fresh and
nice for quite a while.—Now Yorktlour-
