Frani ,an Occasional Correspliiddnt.
' LONDON, June as, 1874.
., Mr. Disraeli Ismalready di covered
that his :bed is not to be altog ther of
roses, and that he eauna repose ds sound-
ly on the support a the puhliea4 as on a
pillow of hops. 1 It has been generaily
expected that the Parliamentaryi session
would be very short, and that extremely
little would be done ; but Oward 2
o'clock on Friday morning, Mr. Disraeli,
waking up out of a quiet doze, startled
the House of ominous by re arking
that this was al delusion, and tat the
proapect was that the session wojuld be a
long one, and that much. would 11� clone.
In a few days, he added; there ould be
seven measures of first-rate imi ortance
before them. The fact is that tile G-ov-
ernment has 1)een making very little pro-
gress with its niesures, and fii ds that
not only opposition from the Liberais,
but discontent on its own side, i grow-
ing up in its path. A section of Mr.
•Disraeli's followers has to be educated at
to the difference between being ,in and
out of office. For instance, when Mr.
Disraeli wa8 in Opposition, he denounced
the' Gladstone Government for truckling
to the priesthooI in the a.clmuustratioa
of Irish affairs. But now that Mr. Dis,
ra,eli is at the he d of a Ministry, he find§
that it* is not so easy to get on without
the aid of Catlin 1 Cullen. If he choose
to put his foot down he could, no doubt,
afford to be independent of the Irish
vote, but for the present he wants to
try what a little coaxing will do. A cer-
tain parish prietzt in Ireland, named
Father O'Keeffe, has made .himself con-
spicious by quarrling with the Cardinal, :
who thought to extinguish him by a sus-
pension. This, however, only supplied.
the Father with Ithe notoriety in which,
apparently, he delights, and gave him an
opportunity of bringing his grievances
=before the British Parliament. As par-
ish priest he was ex -officio manager of
the national schools in his parish, and
the question was whether the Irish
Board of Education was justified in fel-
lowing suit to the Cardinal, and 4emov-
ing the schools from Father 0' eeffe's
charge. While Mr. Gladstone kas in
office a good many of his party wi hed to
USC this question 1 s a means of pr clai
ing their independence of the prie thoo , ,
but the matter was put off. An atta k
on the EducationBoard has DOW, how -
there
ever, cdme from the Liberal side, and.
there was a general disposition on the
Conservative bendhes to favor the attack.
But Mr. Disraeli did not feel eqUal to
the effort, and the 'word was passed that
the motion must !be defeated. . 111 is re-

THE QUEEN IN THE HIGLANDS.
It is said that the Queen jvas with
difficulty persuaded not to rijui -off to
Balmoral in the midst of the r's visit,
and that the Premier had to su gest that
a little clela,y would be -decor us. Her
Majesty is now in the miclgt of her faith-
ful Highlanders, and enjOying herself in
her own way. As soon as s e got to
Balmoral, she attendedthe fun ral of one
of her ghillies, going to the ho se of the
deceased, and laying a wreath f floWers
on the coffin at the end of th service.
A few nights after there was 4 servants'
ball at the Castle, and in the course of
the evening the Queen not olnly coun-
tenaneed the proceedings by het presenoe,
but took part in the dan ing, She -
danced with Prince Albert ictor and
Prince George, sons of the Prince of
th it useless—appendage for all con
tirie. The second sentiment is illus
ed by a reference to the bridge at Ex
wl as it now stands, is 130 feet
ca be reduced to 100 feet, thus reducing
th cost of construction and mainten-
an e to a very appreciable extent. The
th rd sentiment, that bents should never
be used at the ends of a bridge, is en-
fo ced by the reflection. that eatery
hr
be
of
ab
is
.of
st
th
dge lately seen, where the ends rest on
ts'the approaches are worn and
sted away to a considerable extent.
the fourth idea, that, in the matter
ecenomy, due care must, be taken that
talents be substaaitiallY constructed,
upported by the argument that those
cedar,/ properly made, ate better than
ne, ifj the latter is not' secured, land
strated by a reference to the bridge at
village of Kirkton.
t must, of course, be concedecl. that.
in! the early opening up of the country,
facilities for crossing streams had of
necessity to be of the most primitive
kind. The extent of bridges, the i
amount of material employed n their
construction, and even the extent of
their endurance, were matters of only
second rate importance. But time has
sped on, the circumstances have largely
altered, and considerations that were
then of small moment have become of
prime importance. Every year lessens
our supply of suitable timber for such
purposes, and, as a consequence, enhances
the price, and since no bridge, how en-
during soever may be the material of
which it is constructed, or how excellent
the workmanship, 'will last equal to the
solid road, then, as a consequence, the
true feeling is to do away with as many
culverts as possible, and never to cons
struct inferior or subordinate bridges,
when the water can be ebliged. to pass
through the superior or main structures
that have of necessity to be constructed;
Every person that has given the matter
any tolerable consideration knows per-
fectly well that in very many cases the
bridges are out of all proportionto the
streams_ crossed. In many instances quite
a moderate outlay in giving the water di-
rectness of ingress and egress, but
especially of egress, a saving- of not less
than 50 per cent. could. be effected, and
that saving would be permanent through
the shortening of the bridges. This, -to-
gether witht the additional security to
travelers, makes the matter deserve
something -more than a passing notice.
It requires but a superficial observa-
tion to be convinced of the soundnees of
of Mr. Bay's strictures on the absurdity
of trusting to bents as ends for bridges,
the consequences are palpable wherever
adopted, and, generally speaking, Mr.
Bay deserves well of the municipalities
for accompanying his report with so many
judicious strictures and economical sug-
gestions, to tvhich.persons of less critical
acumen and less practical experience
will do well to give good heed.
