These timbers were to serve Im>lIi as the resting place ami as. the carriage way, over which the 24- fooc-wide bridge was to be gently moved to Its new foundation. Two new iron rails were laid aloug the wooden pier in the stream and two rails on either of the wooden abut ments, and then the rails were slipped under tbe centre and both ends of the bridge. The rails were well greased. A trial late yesterday afternoon showed that everything was In good working or der, aud it was drier mined to move the bridge this morning after 11 :tti o’clock, when tlie fast mail train which leaves NVw York at 9 o’clock swept bv, and before the approach of the Philadei((lila express which leaves Jer sey City* at 10 o’clock and passes Hnlim sburg Junction at 12:19o'clock. Long befme tlie hour to-day, people began to fiock to tlie scene. An aruiv of workman appeared. Over 300 Ital ian and Irish laliorers were marshaled ou both sides of the bridge, while lour gangs of earpetife s were under it. George W.

As it flashed away Su|ierln- lemh ut l ord gave the word to his army of laborers, and it was a seem of transit. »y automation as they tore up rails and c.it away the fastenings of the brillfe.

They soon had tire rails connected with the tracks ou the bridge. A half hour after the bridge bad been cut loose a heavy construc tion train was run over the structure, and at 12:19 the Philadelphia express dashed across.

Those figures tell whether tbe wine drunk by our people Is foreign or American.” So spoke a New York wine dealer. “By far the larger part of the American wine, however,” he added, “is not fold as American, but as foreign wine*. Only a few day a ago I visited tlie cellar of one of the largest wine merchants in the city. It contain d many thousands of g illon- of American wine, tire casks being marked ’St. Julleu,* 4 Modoc,' etc., through tire list of prominent foreign brands. Hotel men go there and order these wines bottled aud labelled as foreign wine, and I saw in the cellar many thousands of labels ready for use in this 4%-ftv. These parties take good care not to imitate a trade mark, but they give the wine the foreign name ami sell it as fereign to their guests. It is a strictly confidential business as Ik*- twired tlie wine merchant and the hotel keeper, 'fire American wine is ttouted right there in the irellar. mark ed with the foreign label, aud then sent to the liotel, so that the hold pro prietor Is not put in the power of his steward or caterer by the latter know ing the source from which Ids em ployer receives his wines.

It is not difficult to see the advant age of all this,” went on the wine dealer. “Itenables the hotel man to sell Ids wines at a profit of 100 to 200 per eeut., and it enables the American wine producer to dispose of his pro- hiet. that might otherwise be left on Ids hands. But one of the most interesting de- •reptlons,” added lire wine dealer, “ia that perpetrated by some of tire create lc Ui ere tue ii|»ou tlieir confiding friends.

My fattier was killed trefore mv eyes by a cowanl’s baud striking treacherously from bcldou. I wa- Imt a boy of 10 at die time; we were living in Kansas, aiul there was a struggle between the Free States party ami the slave owneis as to whether slavery should Ik* |M*rmltted or not. In some Stall’s it was allowed, in other* prohibited. As new Territories w »re bought from llie Indians or 0|>eued up to -ciilemeiit, (rending theirsuliscqiient eU v tion into ir.su States,!he two pat ties disputed tire tpie-dion so holly liial a kind of guerilla war commenced be tween those who were trying to ex tend slavery into those Northern Ter ritories aud the Free Stale men, who op|KK-ed it. My father was a strong Free State man, aud iu the political agitation which preceded the outbreak of actual lio-tilitieshe took a haling part. One day, in 1853, he wassjleak ing at au open air meeting, I believe the .first |ioliticttl meeting held hiKun- sa-; the pro-slavery |*mty mustered si long, hut my father made no secrev of Ins views, the leiii|rer ot the crowd grew violent aud threatening; they began to press round tlie dry good* box on which he was standing before a frontier store; while he was trying to (•acify the angry mob one of the* onn- drels, Charles Dunn by name, jumped on the !>ox behind and stabbed liiui in lire back with a Itowk-kuMc. lie did! from the wound, uml lor tbe moment the murderer e.-ca|ied, lor llie sympa thy of ihe uioli was with tlie crime. Blit a few years afterward, when llie civil war broke out, 1 had my revenge The pro-slavery party of Kansas join ed tire Southern cause; Charles Dunn was killed, aud out of aL those who had iiurticipnted iumy father's murder there was only one who escajred death at tbe hands ol tire free-S.aie men. Thus I had to shift for myseir at an early age, aud those were days when it w .s almost impossible to avoid coin ing i^to contact with Indians at evefy turn. I drove a stage, rode the jiouy- express, look freight across tlie plains, did whatever I could fora Bring, and gained a t now ledge of every mile ol couutry which none could heal; 1 got to know Uie ways of tlie Indians, too, and they soon knew ure. I went trap ping ami hunting all over their coun try ; they hated the tnip|>er? and were always on (he lookout for them, so that it was a dangerous game, and a mau always carried Ids life in his hand ou such ex| editions. One or two of us would penetrate up the iitca:u in the wildest part of the couutry, far front any settlements aud only inhabited by- roving bauds of Indians. Choosing tlie ground, we would build a log hilt, or dugout, as It is called, and set about trapping beaver or hunting buffalo and wapiti. Hundreds of trappers have been killed while setting tlieir traps along a stream or skinning the game they have caught. I have hail many a tussle myself, but been as lucky as a man who goes unhurt through a battle in which thousands are killed. When the Indians “jump” you, if you have Ireeu on the l«M»koiiL, there is generally time to get behind a tree, omit hen make the best tight of it you can. I remeiuember one occasion, how ever, when the red men treated me quite generously. It was au ex|rer- ience T shall never forgot. I was 14 veals old—still only a boy trapjrer. as one might say—and started on au ex pedition with a man named Dave Har rington. We went right away, 125 miles from any settlement, with a yoke of oxen and a light wagon to car ry supplies and haul our furs back. We found a creek where there wa> lot of game, and there we made our w inter camp. On one aide of a hilt we built a dug out, and turned tire oxen out to graze upon a small island, where we left them; then we began trapping, and did spleiylidly for a tew weeks everything going well. But one day, while we were out after elk, as we were going round a sharp bend of the creek, 1 fell so heavily upon a slip- pery hill slope that I broke the shin bone of tny leg. Dave Harrington managed to carry uie back to the dug-out; but. unhieki- y, not hmg before thisoneof our oxen slipped upon the ice in trying to cross from tire island and received injuries which obliged us to kill it. We bad thus only one left, and he was not enough to haul me back to tire settle ment In the wagon. So Dave had to leave me lying hi tire dug-out and started off u|*on Ids journey of 125 miles to get help, promising to be hack in twenty days. I had pleuty of food and snow water, so there was no dan ger of my starving. On tire eighteenth day, hearing a mdse outside, 1 sup- (KM.il it vras Dave returned before hL- tinre, aud sang out to let him kuow 1 was all right. For answer then* sprang into the little dug-out a party of Indians; I was soon surrounded by as many as the hut would hold, and I saw at a glance that they were on tbe war-path. They began tiireateuiire me with knives and tomahawk*, ami tilings did nor look very’ bright; then tire chief Linked in and I recognized hint as • fc Rain-iii-tbe-Fare,” an old man whose camp I had once visited.

One of these meetings was held iu tire Congregational church ou Tues day last. It was uearly noon before tire list farmer lied his fcorso in the shed lack of the church and joined the supplicants. Nearly all the business houses in the eity were closed. The hot miii strained through the open windows aud made the room uncom fortable. After a short address, in widen the Rev. Dr. Khlridge spoke ol the object of tbe meeting, lire horny- handed and tautied-men fell upon tlieir knees w hile tlie pastor offered up a most pitiful prayer. During the supplication, which lasted fully half an hour, there was a constant fu-il)ade or “A mens*' and “Glory to God** from the kneeling farmers. The scene was unlike any thing ever seen here trefore. Tire farms and homes of many gray-haired men Jc|k>ihled ou the?|ieedy answer ing of lids prayer.

Cody, whose exhibition has recently been visited by her Majesty tbe Empress of Indio, was a protege of then famous border hero, Wild Bill, with whom be bunted and scouted, and who made him first depu ty when bolding tire responsible and dangerous position of City Jfcrshal of Abilene, Kan. Buffalo BUI had achieved a reputation on tlie plains be fore Ned Buutiine brought him, in his Wild West dramas, prominently before tiw people of tire East os a typical frontiersman. A little before this time he figured in an exciting pugilis tic eu-ounter in Kansas City. He was a young man, then, as now. superbly developed physically, of undaunted courage, renowned for bis exploits in tb* killing of buffalo and as a Govern ment scout in times of ludian troubles, ami doing at leisure Intervals a little work, conspicuous attention to details, iu the way ol painting frontier towns in hues of scarlet and vertnlllion. Kansas City was at that time tbe rendezvous ot tbe buffalo hunters and general outfitting point for expeditions over tbe plains. It was an ungainly, overgrown settlement, strung along the steamboat wharves at tbe foot of tlie bluffs on the Missouri river, oppo site tlte mouth of tire Kaw, but giving eveu then some promise of its subse quent marvelous growth. It was in die red-hot stage of local develop ment, and had a population fearful aud wonderful to contemplate. Here were gathered ex-bushwhackers of the war just finished. Unton and Con federate, with animosities yet unheal ed; buffalo hunters and trappers Irom tbe plains and mountains, Mex ican freighters from over the Santa Fe trail, roustabouts from tlie steamboat landings, and gambler* from everywhere, who mingled, caroused, and fought on the drop of the bat, while, attracted like emutp fol lowers to tire field of carnage, painted, showily-dressed women practiced their allurements In numerous dance halls and lent a gaudy adornment to the muddy streets. Almost every mau carried weapons, aud w as prompt to use them on occasions, with, and olteu without provocation. Here in this frontier paradise ap peared au athletic and bumptious En glishman, who soon mode himself ob jectionable to the community by his fondness for fist fighting. He possess ed both strength and science, and courted eucounters at fisticuffs, from which he invariably came out vitori- ous. He had “done up” successfully every man who could be found to meet him, from those who made pretentions to ability under lire rules of the prize ring to the unpromising boatman, half horse, half alligator, who fought vici ously rough and tumble. He was bullying aud overbearing of demeanor, and had become a source of chronic ex asperation to tbe fighting population of Kansas City. He went ostentatiously without weapons, there existed iu the minds of many a prejudice against shooting an unarmed man, which interfered with the adoption of the ordinary methods of getting rid of an obnoxious party in the community. A popular sentiment has arisen, however, and was rapidly extending, favorable to his assassination, when In informal conclave it was concluded, after some iiscussion. to await the coming of Buffalo Bill, who was daily expected to arrive from the plains, and to tlreii contrive that a hostile meeting should occur between them. lit course of time Buffalo BUI ap- Ireared in town, aud as soon as possi ble after bis arrival a meeting was ef fected betweeu him and the English man in a saloon, a quarrel easily started and a fight arranged. A back room of tlte saloon was the arena, aud both men set to business with prompt ness and energy. For tbe first fifteen miuutes Buffalo BUI, who was as lithe aud quick as an Indian, fought on the lefense, and did little but dodge aud parry the blows of bis antagonist, who followed him a v out the room hit ting heavily, but generally ineffective ly, and soon got warm and began to lose wind and temper. Tlieu Buffalo Bill, who, though somewhat punislted, had kept his temper, assuming the ag gressive. Avoiding a terrific blow at his face, he sprung with tbe movement of a panther under tlie Englishman’s guard ard caught him with both hands by the throat in a grip like steel. For a few moments the Englishman rained short-armed blows on him, and strug gled to break his hold, but his efforts could not loose the grasp on bis wind pipe, and presently be grew black in the lace and fell to the floor. Buffalo Bill held his grip until his opponent was motionless and apparently dead, slid tlieu released him aud walked away, bearing some marks of punish ment, but victorious. It took a long' time to britig tbe Englishman to, aud for a while the task seemed hopeless, il* was shakened and rolled, deluged with ice water, and strong hartshorn was held to his nose, but under these provocations he lay like a log. it •reetned be was gone beyond recall, hut under tlie most strenuous efforts Ire finally revived, and was eventual)r a* far as physlcial Injuries went, all right. The encounter, however, broke Ills reign of terror iu Kansas City, and was one of the occurrences that went to establish tire prestige ol Buffalo Bill. A NIGHT WITH TRAIN ROBBERS.

It is a pity that every boy caunot know' what lie will inevitably tiiuf out later—namely, that lire smallest ami most unimportant part of his edu cation is that which be rcceivesju the scuools.
