It has on each side fiftyâ€"two piers, upon which huge stones are luid, some of them 20 feet long. Many thousand tons of stone were used in the errection of this wonderful bridge, which is regarded by engineers as indicating constructive talent as wonderful as that which raised the Egyptian pyramids. An old and curious key gnd lock is atâ€" mched to the door of Tersple Church in Wleetâ€"street, London.

Ruth, however, resogâ€" nized him at a glance as Mrs. Voce‘s grandâ€" Ruth toâ€"day walked along to the churchâ€" yard, thinking how different life had been while he lived. She had leayned little since his death. She had read Mr. Clifâ€" ford‘s books and stie had nursed her aunt ; and then, &s the girl thought over the last three months, she knew she had only beâ€" _%up to enjoy lite since she had known Mr. evington. _ She passed the postâ€"off ca opposite the little inn, and then instead of following the straggling line of houses which called itself the village of Churchâ€" Marshfield, she turned into on upâ€"hill road on the rights which‘ed direct to the church. At this leafy time of year only a part of the old gray tower could be seen between the elm trees that rose above the low stone wall of the churchâ€" yard. _ A little farther a flight of steps with a turnâ€"stile at the top led into the grassed space, with its irregular and lichenâ€"spotted stones. Ruth went on till she reached the east end.‘ There, just underneath the threeâ€"sided ancient window behind the altar, was a small neat grave, with a headstone on which were the names of her mother and her grandfather. . Ruth had been twelve years old when her mother died, but shehad never ceased to mourn her. â€" Toâ€"day she longed sorely for her loyâ€" ing sympathy, and as she knelt beside the grave she unconsciously leaned agaipst the headstone. Yes, she was sure that her mother would have told her whether she was doing right in keeping this secret from her father. Philp Bryant had been sent to a good school, but he had rot cared ta study ; and his father‘s imprevidence and ruin shortened the son‘s chance. of education. The elder Bryant hadâ€"been a small landâ€" holder, â€" He was a favorite with every one, and ‘ when his troubles. came his creditors had purchased the propertyâ€"that is to say, Appltj&nm and~ its. belongingsâ€"and ha l allowe i him to free himself from dfm and to farm part of his own land as their tenant. When Pailip Bryant emarried, Kitty Stokesay she was only eighteen and she was as clever as she was bright and beautiâ€" ful, Mr Stokesay could ‘not. help liking his handsome, happyâ€"tempered young sonâ€" inâ€"law, but his pride was mortified. He had fondly hoped his Kitty would have married into what hl; cons‘i‘dered to be her rightful pogitio hilip Bryant came of good‘ofdw but he had hadâ€" few a£ vantages; and Mr. S!nke&ay feared that he might have inherited his father‘s extraâ€" vagant habits. The old man retused to live at Appledore, and settled himself in the cottage. . A legacy from a relative_had enabled him to make it into a pleasant and suitable home, From the time her mother diedâ€"little Ruth went regularly to school with her grandfather. â€" Even when his last illness came upon him he still took pleasure in feaching the intelligent gifl,and although nlfs hadâ€"occasionally demurred when her studies interfered with the long walks and rides she loved to take with her fathér, she‘had been too sweetâ€"natured to pecsevere in refusal. Philip Bryant fiad often said to his daughter that her mother had: been much too good to him, but Ruth did not know that the marriage of this idolized child, whom he had educated to his own level, had. embittered her grandfather‘s nasure far more than the desertion of his family and his friends on account of the improviâ€" dence of his own matriage. About a mile distant, halfâ€"way between the farm and the church, she passed by a ga bled cottage with its front so covare\{ by & cluw-q:hing cotoneaster that its quaint halfâ€"tim rm1 was hardly apparent. Ruth sighed as she looked up at the cobwebbed lattices, and then at a forlorn, weedâ€"grown strip of gatden behind the broken %encc. Theâ€"cottage had been empty ever since her randfather died there three years ago. gir. Stokusay had built himself a study, nd had addei to the house in so many kl.l‘h“ when he died the owner raised Yhe rent, and hitherto had been unable to find a tenant. Mr. Stakesay had been strict and..silent, but Ruth had felt a reverent love for him. Little by little she had gleaned ftagments of the story of the tall, thoughtful scholar. Now she involuntarily pictured him as she bad last seen him, pacing up and down the garden behind the cottage, dressed in a long, loose garmentâ€"more like a dressingâ€"gown than a coatâ€"his broad thoughtful forehead partly hidden by the large brim of his brown felt hat.

He whodoved her so very dearly would not expose her to the slichtâ€" est risk ‘of gossip. | He must know the valâ€" ley better than she did, for he had spent hours there fishing ; and he had probably made himself sure that the further eand boâ€" tween the hills was never visited by wayâ€" farers. But she could not shake off a cerâ€" tain shrinking fear when at length the time he had fixed on, five o‘clock, drew neat. At rstthe valley was wide and the brook ran broadly about halfâ€"way betwesn the hills; these were covered with closely cropped turf and dotted with dwarf bushes of golden gorse, which this afterncon had the san on them and seemed to glow with brightness, varied by the occasional cloudâ€" shadows that fell on the crossing hill flanks Mr. Bryant‘s habit was to go round his fie!ds before breakfast and to return home at halfâ€"past eight, so that the postman bad always delivered the Appledore letrers beâ€" fore the farmer came in. . Ruth started and blushed as she went forward to kiss her father ; she was so conscious of the letter lying hid in her pocket, a letter from Mr. Bevington. In the week that had gone by she had beâ€" gun to get used to the burdea.of her secret, but it now weighed ‘more heavily than it did atâ€"first. Mr. Perington asked her in this letter to meet him in the Mill Valley, a secluded place not far from her home, but atill not the sort of place she would have chosen for a meeting ; for the part of the v_ailey _ha lpecifiedâ€"qhe Gutter, : dunbdbetnns @ytive. P hm t ues sfiA AAid e as it was calledâ€"between two lofty hills, was singularly lonely. If by chance any one saw her there alone with Mr. Bevingâ€" ton, she knew there would probably be gossip about her, and she fely she should deserve it. e The way to the Mill Valley opened on the right some way nearer home than her grathsdfl\er's cottage. A short road bor dered by hedges led to a gate. \V hen she had crossed r,%w meadow beyond the gate the hills began to rise on either side, and a little babbling brook came merrily dashing along its shallow, stony bed, as if it were in haste to greet her. He looked at her defiantly, as if to see how far he might presume on her patiense, Ruth laughed at him. ""Look here, Georgie!" she said, we‘ll make a bargain. _ I want you to take careâ€"ofâ€"me as far as grannic‘s house now, and then some day I‘ll take care of you up the hill." He snickemed as if the proposal amused him. _ Y5W take care of me?" he said, how can a gal take care of a man?" L Lol un o At a turn of the rqad she spfed Mrs. Voce hurrying along evidently in search of the truant, and kissing his red, firm cheek Ruth set him free.

It seemed to her that Mr. Bovington would thiriie such tancies silly. She was now close to the end of the valley.. Her path was tfMbounting rapidly, and the brook lay some way below it. The water sparkled like diamonds 10 the sunâ€" shine, as it fell over a succession of stones which barred and at the same time hurried its course. . A dark ridge, perple with ling, rose stoeply in front, and seemed to end the valloy and bar furth@r passage. A few hzepr‘bayund steep track appeared on the | right, leading up to the source of the brook, | which came plunging and foaming down I the purple ravine. . Here the brook parted into two stréams : one rughed on down the valley ; the other followed a pathl on the left, which, instead. of mounting, turned suddenly and wound round the, base of the hill. * All the mechanical apparatus is inclosed within a mabogany frame which looks like a small dinner wagon, about thirty inches in length and breadth, and about zmr feet high, â€" On each side of the frame is a footâ€" beard and in front is an iron handle, someâ€" thing like that of a cycle, but fixed.

By gripping the knees tightly to the saddle or by the motion of the arms on the handle the action of a horse from a gentle cauter to a hard gallop can be imitated. Sne smiled up at him. She looked so beantiful, her eyes were so full ‘of love, that his passion every, moment. grew «stronger. Jn,his stately conventional hone he had been asking himself the meaning of the glamour which had surrounded Ruth and had made hor seem so different from other women Ita had told himself that the atâ€" traction hehad felt had been only a fancy, a fancy created by her fresh innocence and loveliness, and heightened by daily associaâ€" tion.

The Horse Isn‘t alive, but He Can Canter ' and Gallop. A remarkable invention to enable ‘people to get a good imitation of horseback riding in their own homes is displayed in London, according to the Westminster Budget. _ Jt is called the ‘"Hercnleshorseâ€"action saddle." It consists of a series of fourplatforms, one above the other. â€" Each has several helical springs, which are adjusted accordingyto their positions for best taking up the strain they will respectively have to sustain from, the changing movements of the rider. On the top of all is a saddle secuted to a steel #pindle. ‘The ends of the spindle are carried through two vertical slots, in which they are free to inove up and down, _ . Ruth tpok this path, and was quickly out of sight of the valley. _ Before ner, at some distance, walm stretch of open counâ€" try ; but she soon took a path that led her once more between the hills. .A rushing sound guided her onward ; it was the noise of the waterfall behind which she was to meet her lover. 1 a * Ruth felt that she had grown old in she was last here. . Then 5\0 had searche the rocky ledge for fairy nooks, and h found circles c;'!.hi:"y cups and fairy rings. seats. Ruth blushed with shame at h place named in the letter. She had to crow more than one plauk bridge as the brook wandered at its own sweet will, now on this side the path, now on that, #o closa to th: rocky upland that there was no passage be tween. On the right the recks became even steeper, but on the left the upâ€"andâ€"down Fnt.hwny was bordered by shelves of rock behind whigh the hills receded farther and farther away. & HORSEMANSHIP IN THE PARLOR DANCING IN A DEN OF LIONS Hearing a Fly Walk Detective Murray then commenced to fix together a chain of expert testimony on which Ward was finally convicted of murâ€" der. Prof, Croft analyzed the iron of the hutcher knifeand the feathers. His evidence was that human blood was present in large quantities. From the position in which the knife was found it was surmised that Mrs. Ward had been killed while in bed. Hefore' Judge Moss the case was tried at Brampton in the spring of 1876, John Hillyard Cameron defended Ward. The late Judge Kenneth MacKenzie and D‘Arcy Boulton acted for the crown and were ably assisted by the researches of Detective Murray. The defence pleaded | insamity and called noy less than aâ€" dozen dostors, including Dr. Workman, who said that Ward was of ‘unsound mind. The crown, however, had a preponderance of the medical testimony, amrnmonv others Dr. and Walker for paint for use in boil consists of six quarts of well sifted, to which. is rock sait and a gallon o being then well boiled s To five gallons of this n pound of alum, half a .

Detective John Murray was detailed on the case and he arrived at the house while the timbers were yet on fire. He saw MWard in bed at his meother‘s house and questioned him closely, â€" Marriege wasâ€"somewhat of a failure so far as Mr. and Mrs. Ward were concerned, and quarrels were of freqient occurrence. On April 5, 1876, Mrs. Ward prepared to visit her aunt in Toronto. Herhusband interposed no ubjegtion and drove her to the railroad station at Caledon, but when he Christopher Ward was a" member 6i a wellâ€"toâ€"do family living in Caledon townâ€" ship. _ Early in the spring of 1875 he made a preusure trip to England, On the way back he became acquainted with a pretty young dressmaker on her way to Toronto.

Although the region surrounding the north pole has so far presented a condition of dismal defiance to lgc peering curiosity of men, enough has been guheru; concerning its mineral resources to estwblish the fact that in ~those inhospitable surroundings nature has stored her wealth most lavishly. Far withincthe arctic circle fine veins. of bituminous 1 have been seen. Isinglass stone aboundand there can hardly be a doubt but thatWinderneath the perpetnal ice cap might b a plentiful supply of the precious metal. The Alaskan rivers and streams give evidence of auriferous abundance, and the Asatic and Eumsein pol‘x:r appromches also furnish theso indicaâ€" tioks. Tt Very early in the century a German prospector named Golseck, wholanded at Cape Farewell, which is the southern exâ€" tremity of Greenland, was the first Euro: peau to make this discovery. Eeing told of this curious stone by a native, he proâ€" ceeded up the Arsuk Fiord, went to the place, andâ€"at the water‘s edge saw the outcropping of the white, soft substrnce which the matives used in dressing pelts. rubbing it om the fleshy side, where its mction was much like that of soap. The material was then named eryolite, meaning ice stome, and ‘the prospector had found the floride of sodium and aluminiuam, the, substance having a considerable commercial valus, as alum, salsoda, bigatbonate of soda and other substances having value are it« products. This eryolite deposit is very peculiar. . It cceurs at the base of a mounâ€" tain slope, in the form of an oval pocket or chimney, its longer and shorter«xes being 100 and 200 feet respectively, cxtending downward at an: angle of fortyâ€"five to the horizon. Thesides, as fardown as theexcavaâ€" tion e).\gtends, are of gray granite, and the formation.was also covered with this rock. In the absence of any more specificinforâ€" mation as to geological chacteristies it may be surmised that this chimney in some past age dlid service asa vent Jhole for some spouting geyser, and may at one period have spouted water highly charged with the subâ€" stanzes mentioned, held in solution.

Awood deal of, lively~feeling has been awakened by the announcement that on the/5th the sealing steamer Newfoundjand ased the mouth of St. John‘s harbory haping her course for the iceâ€"fields. She has thus" a start of five daysâ€"in advance of our steamers and has the field all to herâ€" self. She cleared at Lunenburg, being manned there, and consequently is mot bound by our laws outside the three mile limit, _ The newspapers have commented in strong terms on the injustice. of a Dominâ€" ionâ€"steamerâ€"being permitted to distegard ouf fishery laws, and injure a valuable fish ery which we are trying to protect. . The matter bas alsy. been referred to in the House of Assembly, â€"@nd the Government were called on to explain why they had not corresponded with theâ€" Dominton=@6# erament on the matter, soas t6 secure éoâ€" operation in the protection of our seals. A Fesolution, it seems, was passed last sesâ€" sion instructing '.rl:g Government to do this, but they allege there was no unanimâ€" ity of opinion as to what the . Dominion Govérnment should be asked to do, and in consequence they did nothing. . _ ; Now this matter has a very serious uspect. Should more Canadian steamers take part in the seal fishery, which they have a perfect right to do, and should they follow the exâ€" ample of Captain Farquharson, by starting several days ahead of our vessels, thus not only forstalling them, ‘but injuring the prospects of this industry for the future, then disastrous results would be likely to fallow. â€" Our laws for the protection of this fishery are the results of extended and experienced and much thgughttul considerâ€" ation. Before such protection was estabâ€" lished the fishery ha.xr been declining rapidâ€" ly ; but since it has greatly improved. I should think there would be no dificuity in coming to an understanding with _ Canâ€" ada so as to secure whatever %eélflnfio'n‘fi needed to.regulate the depafture of vessels from Canadian ports,so as not to strike the seals â€"prematurely. ~ Theâ€"Governmentâ€"of Canada would notfor a moment refuse. coâ€" operation in such a desirable object. . It is for the interests of both countries that this valuable fishery should be preserved, and a common arrangement agfeed on. . Probably before the close of the session some action will be taken in thisâ€"matter. Last year certain amendments were made in the act which regulates the seal fishery. As the aet.now stands, no steamer â€"an leave a port in Néwfoundland for the proâ€" secution of the seal fishery before the 10th day of March in each year, at 2 o‘clock, afternoon, under a .penalty of $4,000, unless the10thof March falls ona Sunday, in which case steainerscan leave on the Oth at 2 p.m. No custom house officer is to clear aâ€"vessel for a sealing voyage before March Oth. Taking seals on Sunday was prohibited in the same amendments ; and should any scals «o killed be brought into any port in the colom the owners wonld be liable to a penal object for prohibâ€" it fore March 1 ture of seals i e age ond size w give the best returns. en fore the age of three or four weeks, the skins and fat nre comparatively,of small value.
