She is now :.n associate editress of a popular paper, and is engaged to be married to one of the smartest lawyers in Ohio. Such a girl is bound to shine and eclipse tens of thousands who are educated in , the lttp of luxury, and taught all the " accomplishments" of tlie Imarding- I school. Such a wife will be a jewel to ' her husband, an orranient to aociety, and IUI honor to her sex iuid her couu -1 try. Wo can tell a truthful tale of the sort which will beat that easily. The I'uter son Guardian office is the first office in New Jersey where females were smv■—< fully employed at type-setting. One | young Indv, who was our forewoman for years aul had entire charge of tlie paper, was paid during her stay with us over $5,000, as nearly as we tain get at the amount from our book*. She also had entire charge of the columns, selections, Ac., ami was judge of all mat- U r to ho inserted during three years and si\ months at a time, when the regular editor was absent, and we never k"ew her ti err in any respeot. We eauuot say with the above that she is engaged to a promising young nuui ; she is mar ried to one of the finest young men in the eity, and one doing a first-class business. Another young ludy left our office to a position in New York, and she is now what is called " make up" in an •flloe in New York at ®25 |>er week. Some time ago two sister* left the , office to take position* on a New York i paper, to whom we hud paid nearly §7,- j 000 for type-adting. Of course audi bands are the best; but we have very ; gvxxl hauds always iu the office. We I IIHVC very generally, however, found this to lie the rule in regard to female, com- I jxisiturs : Thev do not care to earn bo • yon i a certain amount, and when that figure is reached they seem to have oil the money they require, and are per fectly careless ox anything extra. 'lhey may not advance so far iu rapid type setting but it is a foot that generally i girls will get uhead in three weeks to i where a boy will take six to attain. In an office they are more agreeable, less dis posed to go from place to pbice, and as a general tiling are more reliable than male compositors. To be sure they must have their ow u ; but they seldom wnut more thun is right Onr entire newspaper is the work of young ladies, end every type is u t by them, advertise ments ad all, and the *' make-up"* is a young girl, and we have no foreman in the newspaper rooms, a young lady not ing iu that capacity.— PaUersun ( N.

As an example, says the New York Times , we will take the splendid frigate Franklin, the best woouen vessel we ' have, mounting 39 guns, and now per forming duty in Euroiie as the flag ship of our pigmy sqmulron.

The term carpenter, he urged, was undoubtedly an error, as in the climes where Joseph dwelt, no wood was used in the construction of houses, but stones only. CONROLATION. —In New York recently, a low-browed jirofessional burglar, was tried in tlicGcnornl Sf.ssi"ns. Although there wa-s no doubt of his guilt, the evi dence was circumstantial, and the jury acquitted him. "Stand up. Hollar," said the Recorder. " The jury has a mistake in nquitting you. I know yoti to be one of the worst burglars in the city, and should like to give you five years. But never mind, you will cer tainly come before me again. Go, and thank your luck." ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. —A corre spondent says that at Versailles a schemo bad been discovered for the assassination of the King of Prussia, General von Moltke, and Connt von Bismarck. For a few days previously an unusual number of strangers bail arrived in the city. On Wednesday the gates were closed, and every one was ordered to remain in the house on pain of death. Patrols searched every place. Two hundred arrests were made, nmong them seventy persons were seized who were armed with guns or pistols. THE HAVANA IJOTTEKT.— The published official statement of the Havana Lottery shows that the Government derived a net revenue over and above all expenses during tha fiscal rear of 1869-70 just finished of $2,247,840, against $2,288,152 in 1868-60, this being an increase of $14,687 in the past year. During 1868- 60 the Government received $82,862 from unclaimed premiums, 889,566 in 1869-70 from the same source. ANOBT ABOUT IT. Tho Manchrsitr Guardian contains n statement that King William and tbe Princess Royal of Prus sia wrote to the Queen of England that they were opposed to the marriage of the Princess Louise with the Marquis of Lome. The Queen replied with vehem ence, advising them to mind their own business. The incident has materially changed the feelings of fha English Court towards Germaiy. REDBESS. —London Shipping Gatette, which first doubted, now admits tbe truth of the reports concerting the treatment of British vessels in the Seine by the Prussians, and declares that the Government must instantly demand ex planations and redress from Prussia. WTij there la l.ynrh Law in Kansas. The recent action of the Vigilance Committee iu Ivan*** ia explained by an Angusta correspondent of thu Topeka Common wettllh, who write* : It is now conceded by all classes in this rogum-—oou(cased by at least two o! the criminals -that a band of men, from forty to eighty, thoroughly organised, and rps4 to lutlia and erected over the Oaugtw at Cawnpore. It ia' a tubular bridge made in ten sections of 22U feet, und one section of 330 feet The tule will l>e for ordi nary travel, and on ita toj> will lie a rail way for ateain traiua The tube is nine feet high by eight feet wide, and the nee tionK, except the largest one, weigh one hundred and forty ions each. The p.era of the bridge will lie one hundred and ten feet apart from oeuter to ceuter. The remaraable feature of tlie work is the facility with which the sections will lie put in place, without the uid of piling, temporary piers, scaffolding or "centers," or of any of the usual costly machinery. On each aide of the bottom part of the tube is a rail like that of a railroad, fas tened to the tube, with its face down. C-orresponding to tlie rails are wheels, attached to hydraulic ranis, tlie wheels facing upward, thus precisely revers ing the ordinary railroad arrangement These wheels are raised by the rams till they meet the raili on the bottom of the tube, and thus take die weight of the structure upon them. Ten men. five on each side, were, at a trial in England, able by these means to move one com [ilete section, weighing one hundred and orty tons, at the rate of about twelve in ches a minute. It is intended, when the bridge is transported to its site, to set up tlie sections, raise them on Jhe rams, and run them forward over the piers, until ifll are in place. When the head of the section, haviug passed over the ahore pier, reaches the nearest face of the next pier, two of the rear rams will be disen gaged. These will lie taken up/carried lit rough the tube, and stationed on the pier, which the end of tlie tube is ap proaching. to take thivtube as it advance*. The next pair of rams cleared will thcr be carried through and placed, and thus with tlie whole till the section is in place. It was found in the experiment in Eng knd that when 100 of the ±io feet of the section of tube was projected out into the air beyond any support, the depress ion of the free end was only cloven in ches. Extra braces are put in'the tube while it is lieiug thus moved, to be re moved when the bridge is completed. The great advantage of ail this is the im mense reduction of cost A similar bridge, put up in India a few vears since, cost $4,(.00,000. This new bridge wiil> be built, shipped and put in place, by contract, for 8208,000, The Cuimincr Germans. The Prussians, according to the lkria Aiacfeare extremely cunning. When they reconnoitor at night, pioneers go forth, leading dogs, wliieh, ou hearing the least noise or on approaching the French sen trios, stop and make a gruff noise. If n spy arrives at a spot where he doen not feel secure, he posts himself behind a tree or wall and lets loose h'.t dog. Aa lonjr us it advances ho fears nothing, but if it goes sideways or stands still he knows he must be on the alert Tlie Prussian patrols, moreover, instead of showing themselves like the French, get behind anything they can, aud in de fault of this dig holes, which they can creep into. Added to these precautions is an iron discipline, which prescribes the most alisolute silence. The dog is not the Prussian's only ally in this war: they have trained hawks for the purpose of catching carrier pigeons. " Should such cunning," oaks the Steele, " frighten us ? Not at all. It is time however, that wo brcuk through the circle, which coops us in." .

How to Ilnlld Sidewalk*. Let the ground which is to be covered by the sidewalk be sank to a uniform depth of ten or twelve inches and well rammed. Lay a course of fine gravel four iuelioa deep over litis bottom, and rtuu it well. Now lav a connm of broken stones, three inches deep, over this ; and pour on hot grout, just tluid enough to admit of its working down into the inter stices. Let the mass hare a fine day to iatrden. Finally - prepare. In suitable bores, sir parts of sand to one part of cement; working the two together tho roughly with as little water aa possible, applied with a watering pot Wlieu tin mass is thoroughly triturated, pour it over the foregoing preparation and stomp it until all the moisture is brought to the surface, when it will soon set .Smooth off the surfuoc. Waling a gontfe inclination towards the street. Solid moulds might bo set down in the tnuterial at every junction-line of two lots, which, when removed, would lesve a channel or drain from the rain -pipe to the curb drain or sewer—oud indeed this latter could tm likewise formed continuously along the street. Iu ten days a sidewalk such 0* this might be ojxuital to the pub lic use; and even before it is liard, boards might tie kid over it for pnseni use ; thus preserving it intact until in duration had takeu place. Wherever coal-holes or oellar-doors occur, it would lie no difficult matter to make provision for them in tlis tourse of forming the side-walk. Frost could uot affect this coating : fur the simple reason, that, there being no joints for wet to lodge in, there oould be no chance for this ituudu ous and powerful enemy to take hold as in brickwork und (lugging. The (dag thrown out at rolling-mills, as well as the clinkers and wasted bum at brick yards, would, no doubt, prove very bene fieiul in forming the foundation for this composition Miae-w&lk. But the greatest nicety is called for in the preparation of the overkviug surface, or finish. The material for this purpose should be work ed in u pug-mill. 'I he sand used for it should be in particles three-twentieths of an inch in diameter, and the water-lime cement, the best to lie had. The street crossing could be composed of the same material, in a similar manner to the side walks ; and sufficient breadth should be given to these crossings; at the same time to save horses from slipping on them, it would be well to mould herring lione, or reticulated sections in them. The nar rowness of onr present crossings is s sill - jeet worthy of reformers. NARROW ESCAPE. l*a*t week two young meu, sons of Joseph P. Smith, of Grand Island, undertook to cross the Niagara river in a boat, with the inten tion of. making a visit near La Salic. The ice ran petty thickly in the stri-sm, and tlie boat was got to the mainland with so much difficulty that the young men concluded to take advantage of the first ice, an 1 trv to get lack again. In this endeavor, however, they were not fortunate. The ice defied ttieir best ef forts to reach the shore, and gradually they were carried dowu toward the rap ; id*." Their cries brought a number of j>e.iule to the shore, and attempts were 1 made to reach them with a boat, but in vain. At last, after aliout five hours of hard work, they abandoned the boat and took to the ice, r>-a hing the shore in an exhausted condition, jltey had drifted down aa far an Sehlosher, at which point they made a landing ; and their eseajie, a* any one acquainted with the locality must know, was a very narrow one.
