A WONDERFUL STRUCTURE
THE STORY OP THE GREAT LONDON
BRIDGE.
*ts Original Erection Buried in the
Misis of Antiquity—No Other
liridce Like it Anywhere.
Tho original building of the bridge,
writes Walter Besant in llarper , cannot
bo discovered. As long as wo know
anything of London the bridgo was
there. For a long time it was a bridge
of timber, provided with a fortified
gate—ouo of the gates of the city. In
the year 1095, the chronicler relates that
on the feast of St. Edmund the Arch
bishop, at tho hour of six, a dreadful
whirlwind from the southeast, comiug
from Africa—thus do all authors iu all
ages seize upon the opportunity of pa
rading their knowledge—"from Africa!"
all that way!—blew upon the city and
ovei threw upward of 600 houses aud
several churches, greatly damaged the
Tower, and tore away the roof and part
of the wall or St. Mary le Bow, in Cheap
side. During the same storm the water
in the Thames rose with such rapidity
and increased so violently that London
Bridge was entirely swept away.
The bridge was rebuilt. Two years
afterward it narrowly escaped destruc
tion when a great part of the city was
destroyed by lire. Forty years ago it
did meet this fate in the still greater
fire of 1135. It was immediately re
built, but I suppose hurriedly, because
thirty, years later it had to be constructed
anew.
Arfiong the clergy of London was then
living one Peter, chaplain of a small
church in the Poultry—where Thomas
a Beeket was baptized—called Cole
church. The man was, above all others,
skilled in the craft and mystery of
bridge-building, lie was perhaps a mem- |
ber of the fraternity called the Pontific J
(or bridge-building) Brothers, who about
this time built tho famous bridges at
Avignon, Pont St. Esprit, Cahors, Saintcs
and Koehcllo. He proposed to build a
tstoue bridge over the river. In order to
raise money for this great enterprise, ,
offerings were asked and contributed by !
King, citizens, and even the country at
large. The list of contributors was
written out o:i a table for posterity, aud
preserved in the Bridge Chapel.
This bridge, which was to last for six
hundred aud lifty years, took as long to
build as King Solomon's Temple, namely,
tliree-and-thirty years. Before it was
finished the architect lay in his grave.
When it was completed the bridge was !
926 feet long and forty feet wide—Stow
says thirty feet; it stood sixty feet above I
high-water; it contained a drawbridge j
and ninety pointed arches, with massive
piers vaiying from twenty-five to thirty
four feet in solidity, raised upon strong
elm piles covered with thick piauks. The j
bridge was curiously irregular; there was 1
uo uniformity in the breadth of the arches; |
they varied from ten feet to thirty-two
feet. Over the tenth and longest pier
was erected a chapel dedicated to the
youngest saint in tho calendar, St.
Thomas of Canterbury. The erection of
a chapel on a bridge was by no means
uncommon. Everybody, lor instance,
who has been in the south of France re
members tho chapel on the broken bridgo
at Avignon. Again, a chapel was built
on tho bridge at Droitwich, in Cheshire,
and one ou tho bridgo at Wakefield, iu
Yorkshire. Like the chapel at Avignon,
that of London Bridge contained an up
per and a lower chapel; tho latter was
built in the pier with stairs, making it
accessible from the river. The bridge
gate at the southern end was fortified by
a double tower, aud there was also a
tower at the northern end. The wall or
parapet of the bridge followed the line
of the piers, so aa to give at every pier
additional room. The same arrange
ment used to be seen ou the old bridge
at Putney.
Tho citizens have always regarded
Loudon Bridge with peculiar pride and
affection. There was no other bridge
like it in the whole country, nor any
which could compare with it for strength
or for size. I think, indeed, that there
was not in the whole of Europe any
bridge that could compare with it; for
it was built not ouly over a broad river,
but a tidal river, iu which tho flood
rose and ebbed with great vehemence
twice a day. Later on they buiit houses
ou either side, but at first the way was
clear. The bridge was endowed with
broad lands; certain monks, called
Brethren of St. Thomas on tho Bridge,
were charged with the services in tho
chapel, and with administering the rev
enues for the maintenance of the fabric.
The children made songs about it.
One of their songs, to which they
danced, taking bauds, has been pre
served. It is modernized, and one
knows not liow old it is. The author of
Chronicles oj London Bridge gives it at
full length, with the music. Here are
two or three verses:
London Bridge is broken down,
Dance over my Lady Leu;
London Bridge is broken down,
With a gay ladee.
How shall we build it up again?
Dance over my Lady Loe;
How shall we build it up again?
With a gay ladee.
Build it up with stone so strong,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
Huzza! 'twill last for ages long,
With a gay ladee.
A Hi r Fir Log.
A mammoth fir log is to be scut to
Chicago as a specimen of Washington
timber. It was selected by D. Sopor, of
Chicago, who came to Paget Sound for
the purpose of shipping ouo of tho fa
mous trees. The one selected was found
at North Bend, King County, and meas
ured, after being squared, fifty-three by
fifty-one inches across the butt. When
placed ou the trucks it was 113 feet
long, but two feet had to be chopped off
in order to ship it, anil it is now 111
feet long. .It is a line specimen of Wash
ington yellow fir, and, examined by a
glass, showed 411 rings. This would
•ecm t3 make it 441 years old, if the
generally accepted theory may be relied

A new parlor entertainment in London
is reading the past and future of subjects
by inspiration. The operator holds the
subject by the left wrist and looks fix

celebrated of this class of entertainers
affirms that she sees after a few seconds
her subject actually in the conditions and
under tho environment she describes.
Men, she finds, aro more easy to read

A colt was born on a farm near Rich
wood, Ohio, which is certainly a curi

in the usual place at each side of the face,
it had both eyes merged together in tho
centre of the forehead, and the mouth is
cut in across the face, more like a human
mouth than like that of a horse. It was
almost devoid of anything like nostrils,
otherwise it was well shaped. It only
lived about four hour*.
Children Sold for Old Clothes.
If an Esquimau family is very poor
they sometimes give away to childless
neighbors all their children but one.
Thus during childhood a boy may pass
from one to another to be adopted by
several families in turn. Children are
sold by their paicnts, the usual price
being a scalskiu bag of oil or a suit of
old clothes.
During infancy children are carried
under the parka, astride of the mother's
back, being held in position by a strap
under the child's thighs and around tho
mother's body across the che3t. When
out from under the parka they are carried
seated on the back of the mother's neck
aud shoulders, with the child's legs
hauling down in front on both sides of
the neck. Tiie children are given the
names of various auimals, birds, fish,
sections of country, winds, tides,
heavenly bodies, etc. Sometimes they
have as many as six names.
Children are rarely punished, generally
having their own way, and are usually
treated with great kiudness by their own
or foster parents. Prominent events in
the life of a boy, such as having his
hair cut for the first lime like a hunter,
his first trip to sea in a kiak, his first use
of snow-shoes, etc., are celebrated by a
feast, if the family are not too poor—

A New Hypnotic.
Somna! is the name of a new hypnotic
recently discovered by a Berlin physi
cian. Its effects aro far less depressing
than those of chloral, and in other char
acteristics it has the same advantages.
So many of the new hypnotics have one
or more objectionable features, and their
continuous use results in so mauy new
drug habits tha'.it is a great boon to the
1 physicians to have another remedy of this
I class that can be used interchangeably
' with others, and which, as in tho case of
1 somnal, is singularly fee from injurious
effects, and yet strong enough to act
promptly and efficiently.— Next York

Trivial Causes of War.
Among the curiosities of history is the
oft-recurring fact that many of the great
wars of the past have been indirectly
brought about by triflng circumstances.
One of the wars between the Turkish
Empire in the zenith of its splendor and
tho Venetian Republic was brought about
by the desire of the Sultan's physician
to marry a rich Spauish heiress. The lady
and lier mother escaped to Venice, and
the Sultan sent an official after them to
bring them back to Constantinople. The
Venetian Repullic was at first willing to
comply with the Sultnu's request, but
the ladies succeeded in making their es
cape to Ferrara, and from thence to Ly
ons, in Franco. The Porto complained
that the Venetian Republic had not used
due diligence, and ultiir.ately a terrible
war broke out over this trivial circum
stance. A. contemporary historian says:
"The agent of the Venetian Government
at Constantinople iuformed the council
that the reason of the dispatch of the
Turkish Envoy to Venice was, to require
on the part of the Grand Signeur, that a
Spanish lady, named Mendcz, with her
daughters, should be delivered up to the
Envoy, and by him brought to Constan
tinople. The common rumor was, that
tho Lady Mendess had promised to marry
one of her daughters to the son of a man
named Rodriguez, doctor to the Grand
Signeur. The lady, however, changed
her mind, and lied with her daughters to
Ferrara, where they remained under the
protection of the Duke for some time. It
is now said that they have gone from
Ferrara to Lyons in order to realize funds
invested there by the late husband ol the
Lady Mtndz. The emissary of the
Grand Signeur was by no means content
with the loss of his prey, and there was
trouble in consequence." This informa
tion is contained in a letter written from
Venice in July, 1549, by M. Morvillier
to llenry 11. of Frauce, the object being
to induce the King to use his authority
for the purpose of sending the Lady
Mer.dez and her daughter to Constanti
nople. The King sent to Lyons for this
purpose, but found that the ladies had
again taken flight, and were supposed to
be at Antwerp.— American, Rf.j inter.

"August
Flower"
The Hon. J. W. Fennimore is the
Sheriff of Kent Co., Del., and lives
at Dover, the County Seat and Cap
ital of the State. The sheriff is a
gentleman fifty-nine years of age,
and this is what he says : "I have
" used yonr August Flower for sev
" eral years in my family and for my
" own use, and found it does me
'' more good than any other remedy.
" I have been troubled with what I
" call Sick Headache. A pain comes
" in the back part of my head first,
" and then soon a general headache
"until I become sick and vomit.
" At times, too, I have a fullness
" after eating, a pressure after eating
" at the pit of the stomach, and
' 1 sourness, when food seemed to rise
" up in my throat and mouth. When
" I feel this coming on if I take a
" little August Flower it relieves
" me, and is the best remedy J have
" ever taken for it. For this reason
"I take it and recommend it to
" others as a great remedy for Dys
" pepsi a, &c." ®
