ThiFraetlet Wwiu ue ilenued The large increase of crimes mala in st lias caused the subject of rotation amoog the Judges of the Criminal Court to assume great significance.

Under the Constitution of mmols of 1870, Article Section 36, the Criminal Court baa no Judge of its own. The five Judges of the Circuit Court, and the three Judges of the Superior Court are ex ofHcio Judges of the Criminal Court. The provision in the Constitution creating the Criminal Court of Cook County declares that the terms of it shall be held by the Judges in alternation, as me? be determined by the Judges themselves, or provided by lair. The shortness of the term allotted to each Judge hae its disadvantages, and as It has been to some extent the theme ot discussion among lawyers, a wponwtftwi paper called on Judge Tree Co obtain his views on the matter. Judge Tree is at present sitting upon the BenchoftkaCriminal Court, and Curing nis administration of tne affairs of that Court has accomplished much for the public good.

Judge opinion was delivered in the following words: am inclined to think that the plan of rotathe Judges of the Conn Is a good one, Ic is a plan that has been in operation, in fact, borrowed from Massachusetts, and perhaps exists in one or two other States. The only question Is as to how often the Judges be routed, under the present arrangement a new Judge on the bench every month, which makes each Judge of the nor Court hold one term of one month in every eight months There are earns peculiarities JSSJJh administration of: criminal Jostles, which, I think, for reasons that are obvious, render it wise that no one man should constantly of the Crimiaai oSStfoa the other hand, the same peculiarities might make it advisable that the period for which a Judge sits upon that bench should be longer than one month. He comes face to face with the worst phases of human nature, and necessarily a great many of the most painful incladministration of public justice. Audit reoutres, perhaps, some experience for the exercise of that discretion which necessarily vests in the Court Inflicting punishment. It is my opinion, and I think it is the opinion of several of the other Judges, though upon the latter point lam not positive, that an administration of the affairs of the Criminal Court for a oentinuons period of two or three months might be better for the public Interests than the shorter term; still, under the provision of the Constitution requiring the Judges to alternate, as nearly as may be, until otherwise provided by law, there is, perhaps, no discretion on the part ot the Judges as to the manner in which they shall regulate the holding of the Court."

Adams dined with Marshal de Monoby, the bead of the wealthy and powerful honse ot Noailles, At that time Mr. Adams says there were six ufarehai.

of France out of this family, and they held so many and so high offices that they received annually from the Crown 18.000,000 franca. They were noted for the harmony with which the family always acted and settled their oonrae npon every great issue by a family council. On the breaking ont of the revolution in this country, and the prospect of Franco- American alliance, the family decided to aid our cause, and to send a ion into the army of Washington. It waa deemed inexpedient to send tie Prince of Polx, heir of theDno de Monohy, and the Viioonnt Noaillee, another scion, declined the honor, which was finally ofiered to the Marquis da Lafayette, who had married the granddaughter of Mouchy. It waa fortunate that this was the choice.

Marshal Maillebois! another member of the family, might have been chosen, he bad already been detected by Adams in an ambition to be sent to America to supersede Washington in the chief ambition which the Foreign Secretary, winked at. 1 and. Deane, Adam 7 predecessor, did not re? sent. Lafayette, as we call him, does not. however, give this explanation of his con? 1 mg to America.

The project ol bridging tic Niagara Biver sear Buffalo baa been for years past a matter ol interest to both American and Canadian engineers. Forming a part ol the charter ol the Buffalo do Lake Huron Bailway (now incorporated with the Grand Trank Bail way ol Canada), since the year ISSB, successive parties ol engineers, under different anspiees, and at several points, bare sounded the river with, a view to the construction ol a bridge.

Failures or these vailona have prevented the aoeom-' plishment ol the object until it was tafcm hand by the Grand Trank Bailway, some font or five years ago. Beoognizing the immense sdvantsge to the communications between East and West that snob a bridge conld afford, and that the growing traffic had rendered it a necessity, a company was formed ol English and American capitalists, styled the International Bridge Company, with C. J. Bridges, ol Montreal, as President, Active steps towsrds securing the necessary charters from the United and Canadian Governments were at once taken, the location of the bridge fixed, the right way secured, and in May, 1870. the works were began under C.

S. Growski the contractors. It was decided that the bridge shonld be an iron superstructure qq stone piers, and, alter much deliberation, the Pratt truss, af manufactured at the Phoeuixville Iron Works, Fhmnixville, Fa, was adopted. This trass has been iued in many bridges lover the Ohio and Missouri Eivers, and notably at the uinoy Bridge, over the Mississippi, where it has served moat successfully. This was taken as the model on which the International Bridge was to be oonstraoted.

The location having been fixed between Black Bock and Buffalo, the width of the river being broken at that point by Squaw Island, It wss found that tbe main Elver measured 1,391 feet, and Blaok Book harbor 445 feet, or a total ol 1,339 feet to be bridged; while Squaw Island waa to be crossed bv an embankment 33 feet in height, and 1,393 feet in length. The depth ol water varies from 13 to 47 feet at the points lor the piers, and the normal current at low water from 3.58 to 5.12 miles per hour. The first intention to place the swing in the centre ol the river having been luckily' avoided, at the suggestion of the Board of Engineer officers appointed to examine the plana by the United Government, and consisting of Generals Warren and Colonels Merrill and Harwood, United States Army, it was finally determined that the spans shonld be as follows, in main river spans 197 fast 788 fast In main river 3 spans 318 feet 711 feet In mein river 1 drew 361 feet -J 363 foe! In Black Bock Harbor span ass feet feet In Black Kook Harbor 1 draw U3 teet aaa feet 3J39 feet The piers are built 12x13 inch timber caissons, made water-tight and strongly braced. The bottom, to a certain level, is filled with concrete, made of broken stone, gravel or sand and Akron hydraulic cement, in this the footing course of heavy blocks of limestone is placed, and the pier built. The dimensions of the first three piers are Length of coping, 90 feet; width, 7 feet Finches: batter of back, lin batter of front, above cap of ice-breaker, lin 34 batter of ice-breaker, i to 1: of lee-breaker, .46 degrees: hatter of 7axit The shape of the pier is an oblong, with a rectangular nqee-pfsoe or cutwater.

delayed by a series of advene circumstances, and the fact that no previow work of the kind afforded a precedent tor dealing with so rapid a current as that of the contractors are pushing the the greatest energy, and hope to finish it early next year.

He is shrewd, and cunning, and, like the fretful porcupine, so firmed at all points as to be almost certain ofwonndmgwhatever comes in contact with him.

Frankness beams in his eye, but calculation sits in his soul; he gets information out of yon by side strokes, and profits by it; he brmgs you round by the artfullest of roads to the point ha is working for; he pumps you dry so skillfuly that yon do not feel thirsty in the proeass; and he leaves yon under the impression that he is the most amiable of companions- Fortunate it is for you if further experience of his amiability do not compel you, with groans, to reverse verdict. Attached to the popular interpretation of of the are profound and entiling depths.

THE ANHUAX B.U3H AT YALE. Oaicrlpileai mf tha SlHdlsu aigsi iha Sepha and fmli -15 From, tbe Yale Since the days when the term meant a street brawl in the and fight over a hanger, involving macs or lass danger from the minions of the law and the vigilant Faculty, a change has come over the college to anch an extent that what was once asheer piece of rowdyism, fraught with very great personal risk, has come to be a baimless amusement, barbarous if you please, but still as free from danger aa a loot-ball match, and conducted upon very mcch the same principles. To describe one of these raehes is hnt to follow the throng that once a year makes its way to Hamilton Park and stay with it till it has gradually dispersed in the gathering darkness that covers its return. Such an one was that of last Saturday. At about a quartet of six the two yonngest classes, who for the last fifteen minutes had been marshalling in the opposite coiners of the field, began that slow timed march where every foot comes down at the same time, and the whole body closely looked together sways from aide to side aa one living mass.

The juniors had formed the freshmen into a compact body oonaisting of ahont twenty-five ranks font deep, with the heaviest men in front, arms looked, shoulders jammed together, and feet moving in a to the words Soph! Soph!" Skirmishers there were, too, who from without the ranks should aid their comrades and harass the foe by oat" their men and breaking np their ranks, after the first meeting of the opposing bodies. There-was in the front rank of. the freah- men a lame man, but of immense chest and ahonldera, and as plucky as yon please. It is said that during one of the raehes, when a soph was tugging at his head and shoulders in a vain attempt to drag him of the ranks, he said, "Please let me hang on; only gob one leg to stand on!" The sophomores had formed themselves a 0.... cording to a plan previously drawn ap, and numbered about ninety.

their strength lying in their superior skill and experience. And now these bodies move slowly across the field directly towards each Nearer and nearer yet they drew, each side surrounded hy admiring friends who cheered them on. The sophs and fresh have cessed their marktune as every -breath is to be needed in another moment. And now bat a lew feet ate left between the two swaying masses of solid Firm-pace (l and slow, a horrid front tkMna. BUent as the breeze but (treadled aa One foot is all that remains olXSrn between, when, as by some both patties leap together, and each stray- gles to back down the other.

For a moment the result is doubtful, bat not lor long. Slowly and surely the freshmen are gaining ground, and the sophomores are forced bank step by step; bat now organization gives plaea disorder, and the wildest confusion ensues. What was a moment ago an orderly rank of marchers, becomes a howling, hatleaa, dusty, struggling mob. Fragments of oloth- ii ing bedeck the sward, and there are ouay coats without backs andho less backs without coats. And a shout now arises, Haka a ring! Make a ring and in the midst of the yelling, tagging, confusion, a spaas is made around a couple who are wrestliag.

Of course they are soph and fresh, botbafore they can exhibit their skill the orawd surges upon them and they are separated. Cheers tor 'rs now bursts from 100 throats; and each party retires to its former slaoa eager to renew the fray. The second rash is put a repetition of the first, only that this '-'t sophomores are victorious: andtka third is like belli tlio others, but just at one side is giving way a score of haada are raised, and the cry, man do ml" stops both sides, and when the crowd hag withdrawn. lo! onr lame friend of man class emerges smiling and happy, ang not the least bit soared.
