Louis promises to be, when completed, one, p-f the grandest monument 7 <d’ engineering skiil and ge nius in tHe world. Retween the abut ments if Will consist of three steel arches, each of about live hundred feet span, resting upon massive piers of solid ma sonry. Mr. James R Eades. the chief engineer, has issued a very interesting report of the progress which has been made in this great undertaking. Among those which/ most forcibly illustrate the power of science to overcome difficul ties which would’ seem almost insur mountable are some renting to the con struction of the west abutment, which, at the date of tire report, had been com pleted from the bed rock of the rives to a point thirty-one feet above low Wa ter mark, a height of forty-four feet al together. Although the bed rock a +! the right of the abutment is seventy three and a half feet higher than at the cast pier, the difficulties encountered in building its foundation were more seri ous than at either of the others. Its site had been for over sixty years a part of the steUmboat landing of the city, and such as had received every kind of useless material thrown overboard from the various steamers lying over it du ring that? time. Tim old sheet iron en veloping t'litr furnaces, worn-out grate bars, old fire brinks'; parts of smokestacks, with cool cinders, clinker, and a mass of heterogeneous substances, formed a de posit averaging 12 feet in depth over the rock. Not only were these miscel laneous obstructions in the way, but the coffer dam constructed to enclose the site had: to be put down' through the wrecks of no less than three steamboats which were imbedded in the sand, the hulk of either of which was not probably of less than 400 tuns measurement. From the enclosure within the dam were taken parts of several old and burnt steamboat engines, the iron parts of which had to be cut off; four wrecks of barges, some of them probably in use before the era of steam ; likewise several oak saw logs, some anchors, chains, and a variety ui smaller articles. This incongruous de posit made it very difficult to maintain the integrity-of” the dam, and frequent floodings occurred* which delayed and increased the cost of Work ; but all diffi culties were exposed to view. The piers were sunk by moans of caissons, com pressed air, and-sand pumps, similar in many respects to those in use for the East River bridge. The east pier of the St. Louis bridge had on the Ist of Oc tober been carried up to the height of 117 feet above the bed rock on which it rests, about 20 feet above the level of water at that time. It measures at its base, in the direction of the current, 82 feet, and transversely GO feet. This pier was placed op the rock ir* 126 days' af ter ti p laying of the first stone, work being suspended on it during twenty days.of this time on account of bad weather. The west abutment of the bridge when, completed to the carriage way will be 115. feet high above the bed reck of. tb§ river, aud will contain 31,800 cubip yartfil-ef n %?onry.

When we acknowledge that intemper ance is a disease, let us uot forget the fact that it is also a Hu. No man is forced to be a drunkard : he drinks to excess with his eyes open, with his hands free, with his conscience upbraiding him until Ke thowns it in the bowl. He vol untarily surrender? his reason, his taste, his judgment, his health, his character, and his conscience on the altar of appe tite; and is not that a sin ? He knows that his habits of indulgence will dis qualify him for the performance t>f the duties of child, husband, parent, and citizen, and while they deaden the fac ulties which should elevate him above the dumb beast, they intensify and quicken all the animal and brutal in stincts of degraded humanity; and is not that a sin ? He is wejl aware that tho in toxicating liquors may inspire him with selfish motives, and that he may in a tit of frenzy commit a crime which will do great injury to innocent and unoffend ing persons, depriving them of their property, or infringing upon theip rights, or injuring their persons; and is not this a sin ( In these enlightened days, there surely cannot be found a drunkard 6Ven who is such a dunce as not to know that the Rible declares that drunken ness is a sin, a great sin, which excludes the unrepentant from the kingdom ot heaven. The drunkard sins against Kiniscif, he sin'? against his neighbor, and he sins against God. There is no other vice which so vividly gives its'vic tims a foretaste of future punishment as intemperance. It brings upon the drunk ard the’terrible penalty of delirium tre mens in this life, and uncovers to his sleepless eyes the pit to which he has tens. The devils' ot his troubled imag ination are real devils to him ; the hell lie foresees with his diseased vision is not in his eye;’ a theatrical sham on this canvass, but a real hell, and he recoils from it in horror and despair. Is it not a sin for a human being, made a lit tle lower than the angels, to bring him self to such a wretched condition? He was designed to be happy in this life and in the life to come; but he !:now ingly drinks, and make:* himself tho most miserable being on the face of the earth; and that is a sin which can only be washed out by the tears of repent ance and reform. — Tm. Advocate. A Lrvh NG SNAIv EI N A Wo MAN S j Stomach. —An unfortunate woman is now in the infirmary with a living snake or cel in her stomach, of the truth ot which there is the most abundant proof to convince the most skeptical. The poor woman is twenty-three years of age For six years she has been subject to convulsions of severest character, which thus far the best medical skill has been unable to suppress. At Canton and Ilaysville, Ohio, the doctors could do nothing to relieve her; and at Philadelphia she was under the care of two of the most eminent physi- without beneficial results Slid has spaSms e\*cry day. sometimes as many as twenty. During each convul .sion she becomes entirely unconscious ; her body writhes and struggles in agony; her face grows black from suffocation; hbr tongub stiffens and protrudes from the mouth; she froths from the mouth and the demon of a snake twists, with’ slimy folds, up her throat into hex'month. ; wrapping itself around tlTe root of her , tongue, and darting its head out and in j with rapidity of lightning —like the 1 tongue of a snake out of a snake’s mouth—then squirms down her throat, when the spasm subsides. It lias pro truded its body as much as three inches, is black in color, and as thick as a lady’s index finger; and those who have seen it say there is no doubt that it is either a snake or an eel. It does not appear every time she has a spasm, but gener ally in those she has from six to ten in the evening. 'The woman eatvf Voraciously, without J receiving apparent benefit, for witliiu | five minutes after partaking of a liberal j meal she suffers the pangs of hunger j and is ravenous for food. To eat sour i pickles, cabbages, or anything of an acid | nature, evidently throws the animal into j paroxysms, as when such are taken it j makes the greatest disturbance, and j shows itself in the throat and mouth.— It was first observed in a convulsion after she had been eating some pickles. The unfortunate woman has no idea when or where sb* might have swallowed it. and j cat:hoi*be made to believe that so hate- | fillet thing inhabits her body:- —Kvcamj ; If raid The Difference- Between - Bo” j And ‘‘Come." — Ts you want business ! done,” says the proverb, “go and and * it!” j “If you don’t want it done, send some | one else.” An indolent gentleman had j a freehold estate, producing about five j hundred a year. Becoming involved in : debt, sold half the estate, and let the re- ! maind -r. The industrious farmer called j to pay his rent, and asked the owner if; l;e would sell ffis farm. "Will you buy it ?” asked* G’-eneig , surprised. “Yes. provided vfe can agree upon the : price. 1 ' . | ‘ That is exceedingly strange,” ob served the gentleman ; “pray tell mellow i it happens that while 1 could not liye j ; upon twice as much land, for which j j ! paid no rent, you are regularly paying ■ i me two hundred a year, and are able in i a few years to purchase it ” 1 “The reason is plain,” was the reply i ; “you still &*id said go 1 I got up and , said cy.W!'. You lay in bed and enjoyed ‘ jour estate; I rose in tffe rgorning and piinded r.iv bnGne**.' —S-lj ft-ip. j h.NEROf OF Win,.—lf is energy of ' w iH that is the soul of the int Elect; | wherever it is. there is life; where it is not, ail is dullness and despondency ami desolation. People who have no expc -1 rience of it, imagine that it is dost rue | Eve to the nerves, exhaustive of the an imal spirits; that it aggravates the wear ; and tear of life excessively. But this : is ‘Gi idle notion, as idle its the habits | and humors of those who entertain it. 1 He leave it to any man who knows its j effect, to strike the balanee—to com pare the exhaustion of an indolent day with that ot an active one; to sjy in ; which ot the two cases the subject is in ; better heart for work, and fitter to un dergo it. Whatever wo may be about, | one thing, we believe, is certain— that j if the spirits are spent by energy, they j are utterly wasted by idleness; at worst. ‘ energy can only end in reiaxati .n—it is i sniw"* u»r ti\ tivr •> frML* •*»».! ivw.-il-'t’ jat last may fall into it; whereas, idle ness is actual relaxation from first to last, and can be nothing else. But even | this view, favorable as it is. is yet not i favorable enough to be just. The fact ! is, that violence is not necessary to eu i orgy any mure than tyrranny is to king • ship; on the Contrary, it is the greatest ! energy that does the most work. Energy, literally from Greek, means in ward-workingt! css; the blooming of j the flower is energy, the increase of fruit is energy, yet in ail these there is no vi ; oience; the efficacy is not destructive, but vital; without it the whole frame must fall at once into corruption, w ith it, instead of corruption, we have life.— But this, it may be said, is a refinement. , It may be so, but it is true in fact, nev-1 ertheless. The gainsay or will find it difficult to produce anything from tl o subject of surer or more essential truth. A Desirable Trio. --Some sensible person has given publicity to the follow ing waif, which is certainly beautiful: Three things to love—Courage, gen tleness and affection. Three things to admire —Intellectual 1 powers, dignity and gracefulness. Three things to hate—Cruelty, arro gance and ingratitude. Three things to delight in—Beauty, frankness and freedom. Three things to wish so—Health, ’ friends and a cheerful spirit. Three things to avoid —Idleness, lo quacity and flippant jesting. Three things to pray for—Honor, ! country and friends. Three things to govern’ —Temper, tongue and conduct. T hree things to think about-—Life, death and eternity. Many people think newspapers dear | —that five cents a week for food for the j brain is too extravagant; but a glass of; whiskey is manufactured from about.sev- j euty grains of corn, the value of which i's too small to be estimated. A glass of this inixtury sells for a dime, and. if a good brand 1 , is considered worth tire, money. It is drank in a moment or two. ! It fires the brain, deranges and weakens ; the physical system. On the same side- ; board on which the deleterious beverage j is served lies a newspaper. It is cover ed with half a million types, it brings j intelligence from the four quarters of the globe. The newspaper costs less than j the glass of grog, but it is not less true j that, there is a large number who think corn juice cheap and newpapers dfcaf.—• North Carolinian.
