ABOUT THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE. The Brooklyn bridge was opened on Qunen Victoria's birthday.May 24, 18N3. The company formed to construct the Brooklyn bridge waa iuuorporaled In mi7, with a capital of ir,0()ii,t)()0, of which t3. 000,000 ws to be contributed by the city of Brooklpn, $1,500,000 by the cily of New York, and J.'iOO.OOO by private individual. In 1HT" the ' Brooklyn bridge was niad a tato work, under direction of the cities of Kuw York and Brooklyn. Tha Brooklyn terminua of the bridge is m foot above high tido. The found-lio-of the Brooklyn towof is ).) feet below high water. Tho foundation of the New York tower i 7 feet below hif;h water. The Now York eud of the Brooklyn bridge proper i founded on bedrock; tho B'Toklyu cud of thu bridge proper, rctj on clay. The biggest day's receipts In the his- - ' tory of the Brooklyn bridge wero taken on April HO, lHH'.l, the day of the j cen'ennial anniversary celebration, j They amounted to iOI8.W. j The first six month during which the j Brooklyn bridge was open l.OOO.OO'J pas-sengers crossed. In 11 the total was 8,000,00.1; in 1K 17,000.000; in 1HWI, S4,omi.000; in 1HS7, SiK.ooo.noO; in w. no.tmn.omi, in l ess. 81,000,000, and in 1B!i), 87,070,411. The total length of the Brooklyn bridge is CM7 feet, it it 15V5 feet above the river, computed from the middle of the span. - The railroad on th Brooklyn bridge was opened on September 24, lwi, an-niversary of the battle of Monterey. Twenty persons were killed or dis-abled during tho thirteen year which it took to build the. bridge, actual labor having been begun on January 2, 1B70. There are 85.000 yard of oobio ma-sonry in the two ends of the bridge. The (lislan.'e between the New York anchorage and the Brooklyn anchorage is o l,- -. feet. The weight of the span is 7000 tons. tlongres pased the bill authoring the construction of the Brooklyn bridge in 100, after the secretary of war had decided that it would not Impede com-merce and navigation. The grade of the bridge roadway i ."i feet per 100 feet of length. The four eable of the Brooklyn bridge are sixteen inches in diameter each and consist of about 20,000 single wires. (Ine difliculty with which the engineers of the. Brooklyn bridge had to contend was tho fact tliatthe outside or exposed wires were expanded by the heat of the sun, while the inner and protected one were uot o affected. The pressure of the wiml, too. being of varying velocity, roqulred uch adjust-ment of the wires as to prevent even in a hurricane. It took tifteen months' continual work to itriBg the wire ot the binlg. The weight of eai.li anchor plale on the bridgo i twenty three tuus; the height of the towel above the roadway is 150 feet. Just six year after the lirst wire wa strung across the F.ast river for the bridge the first paid pass-- , enger crossed. There are twenty truster of the Brooklyn bridge, eight of whom are ap-pointed bv the mayor, auditor aud comptroller of the city of Brooklyn and eight by the mavor of N'ew York. The term of service is two years. They get no salary. Tho mayor and comptroller of New York and tne mayor and comptroller of Brooklyn are member of the board. Three ye;rs after opening tho bridge railway the revenue from loot passen-gers had fallen off two-thir- The runaways on the bridge average two a month in summer aud one in winter. Arrest average four a week. The cost of tho Brooklyn bridge was ti5.0U0.000, which was :), 000. 000 in ex-cess of the final estimate of ihe engi-neer, lioebling. who was appointed in charge of the work on May '.'8, 107. Two years later he was injured by an accident, from the effect.-- of which he died, and the engineering we, carried through ly lu son. The revenue of tho Brooklyn bridge amounts to a minion and a quarter dol-lar a year, derived almost exclusively from fares. The other items of revenue, last year. wore. JfVOOO from rental and $19,000 from telegraph and telephone companies. The litfht"8t month in the year for business on the bridge July. Each of the four esbies upon which the Brooklyn bridge rsits has a capacity of 12.000 tons. Trains on the Brooklyn bridue make faster time (by two miles an hour) than did the lirst railway tia.u that ran be-tween New York and Albany. The longest bridge acro.u the Danube is 1000 feet in length, the Waterloo bridge over the Thames is 1240 feet, th Westminster bridge over the Thamo 1220 feet, tho Satalov bridge across tho Volga 41i72 fact, and the Freiburg iu Switzerland 10'J."i feet. Due-hal- f million dollars is to be expanded in improving and extending the approaches to the Brooklyn bridge on the New York side. In u.ssfuiness it exceed them all. The quickest bridge building on re-cord was done by an engineer named Drudge, who in eight days put an iron span across the er in Tyrone county, Ireland. Jt wa 74 feet in length. Dredge died before the popu-lar agitation was begun in Philadelphia tor u, ino.turn bridge across tho Schuyl-kill at Walnut street. That project hi bei-- diousMd for a quarter of a cen-tury. Tho Schuylkill at this point is deeper than the Bronx, and nearly as deep as the Harlem river. The president of the Brooklyn bridge receives t.iOOO a year salary, the secre-tary Krf)0. the treasurer 14000. the , stiperintendont t !000 and his assistant $1000. The receipts of the bridge are always In excess of the expenditures, tho prolit during the year ending 100, amounting to 1,')0,000. The length of the carriageway on the Bnoklyu bridge i SOW feet. The number of carriages and other vehicles crossing amounts in a day to 4000. From 8 in the evening until 6 o'clock next morning about !!0o carriages or wagou cross. Then the number in-crease to 100 between 6 and 7, and 200 between 7 and 8, and to .'100 in each hour between 8 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. From 4 to 6 aud from 6 Th Torrey Hatikrnpl DHL New York Titans, N Th friends of that admirable com-mnrcl-measure, the Torrey bankrupt bill, are by no mean idle in preparing to ure it upon the next congress.

The life of the actor Emmet was an impressive illustration of what a terrible disease the appetite for ardent spirits may become. Her was a man amiable, talented, ma(?netio, with a rare power to interest audieuces, invariably in holding popularity, as well is in acqtiirlnii it, yet oue for whom the demon ot druukeuu was always lyinj; in wait, and who, aifain and again, fell a riclliu to it in a way which brought to him mortittcation and con-trition. Charity is due to one who had so severe a battle against temptation to light and the lesson of bi life, which was cut short amid constant triumphs upon the stape, should not be lost upon, those who havo tuiilar weakness to eucounter. It is a hard. bait!, but it is one in which a Urot w ill ha th power to wiu victory. An Air Ship's Wil Flight. Washington Post.
