Pursuant to suggestion, we publwh be low tho full report of the bridge committee of five to the citizens' committee of twenty-flvo. It will be Been that there was competition, ami that the bridge could not bo built cheaper ten years hence than at the present time : To the Citizens, Bridge Committee of Twenty-live, V. J. Ilerren, chairman Gentlemen : Your executive committee of five, appointed at your meeting of March 8th, 18WJ, to mature plans have surveys made, etc., bog leavo to report aB follows: We engaged tho services of Capt. Charles F. Powell of tho U. 8. engineers, who agreed to make a preliminary Btir vey and give a memorandum and chart thereof, together with his opinion as to the projxjr location of the proposed bridge, in such manner that wo would have suf ficient data upon which to advertise for detail plans and sH)ciflcations, and bids for the construction of the bridge, for $250, together with the actual expense of the survey ; and that he would further net as consulting engineer in tho con struction of the bridge, from the time of tho. submission of bids and plans and specifications for the building of the bridge, to its final completion, for an ad ditional sum of $2T0, provided a superin tendent of construction, of his own selec tion, be employed, to be kept in mijwr vision of the work during the whole pro gross of the construction of tho bridge. Capt. Powell performed the first in stallment of the work agreed uion in a very satisfactory manner, as will appear by the maim of tho river, and "Informa tion to bidders" prepared by him and herewith submitted. For 'this work he has been paid as agreed Uon ; und for this togother with the expense of the survey etc., your committco hus incurred an indebtedness of 168 IM over and above the amount collected from tho citizens for that pur pose, all of which fully appears by tiio reort of our treasurer, W. T. Gray, ac companying this report. Capt. Powell lutH also entered upon the second division of tho work agreed upon, in the way of consulting with and ad vising the committee about tiie merits of diliernnt plans ana proposals submitted, and this, with the understanding that lie will be paid by tho city in case the work firoceeds. In this also, his services have lecn very satisfactory and valuable to , your committee. His report on the dil torent propomilB submitted, accompanies tins report. Having boon advised by Capt. Powell that Center street waB the best location lor a truss bridge, and Chemeketa street the bout for a BUHiwnsion bridge, we in vited proposals for, (1), a llxeu iron truss; (2), a fixed combination truss, and (3), a suspension bridge, by circular let tor addressed to every bridge building concern in the country whose address could be ascertained. AIoio than fifty circulurs wore sent out. Of these, about sixteen were answered by application for further information, winch was supplied by sending to cacti applicant blue points f tho river map, una section sliowin the length of spans, locution of piers an etc.. toinither with the printed ''informa tion to builders," nil prepared by Capt, I'owell under direction of your committee, In response to all litis, on June 2d. 18H(i, thoro were submit tod to us huts and pro- OfialB, with plans and specifications for tae construction oi a bridge, irom seven " different companies viz. : 1.

Bid No. 1 (iron), $73300; bid JSo. 2 (combination), S57200. As we deemed the bids above $55000 to be in excess of the amount that could be probably raised for bridge purposes we rejected those above thut amount at once, and referred the remainder to oapt, Powell for his examination and recoin memlutions. Upon these he has report ed as already mentioned. Tho lowest bid in point of amount, viz that of the Bun Francisco Bridge Co. for $44800. was rejected by your committee for the reason that the bridge describod in that proposal, was not as strong as prescribed by us under the advice of our engineer. We report favorably upon bid No. 1 of the ban Francisco Bridge Co. for $48887 and recommend you, and through you, it approved, the city council to take steps to secure wie erection oi u unugu ucuoru- inn- to that nroposul. The plans, specifications, and strain .sheets accompanying this proposal are herewith submitted. There is now in the hands of your committee a certified check for $3000, deK)Bited by the company making this proposal, as a guaranty for entering into a contract with sufficient security for the performance of the work in case it is awarded to tho company by the citv. We are of the opinion that such a bridge would be durable and substantial, besides being an immense assistance to the bum- 11, nit.. Wa lioirn riv. nn the matter close attention, and hav been aided Tiy tho best engineering tiilont on the coast, and are satistied mat too hnildine of such a bridge would lie moiv av well snent.

Siegfried, the business repre sentative of the Chicago News in New ork city, read a paper recently before the meeting of the Presbyterian ministers upon "Tho attitude of the secular press in America toward religion." "If, in a prefatory word, I may use the shop,' tho paper I now read was pre pared as a 'special' for the Congrega tional club of New York," began Mr. Siegfried. "It is the work of a newspaper standpoint, showing the actual attitude of the press toward religion. "I think tiie country editor is the great est secular friend that religion has, for he has a direct and indirect interest in re gion greater than his city brother. The village editor is in closer contract with religious movements than the metropo litan newspajier man. When we turn, however, to the 1300 daily newspapers in this country, who sot tho pace for the niick thought and nervous movement of the peoplo, we find a difference. There is some truth in the remark that the at titade of the daily editor toward religion is one of calm superiority, isut 1 think that expression should be changed to 'in different friendship.' Neither in thought nor spirit has the city press much in com mon with religion. "Homo time ago 1 had seven questions printed on slips of paper asking the edi tors of papers certain facts about the re ligious attitude of their paper, how many of their employes were professed chris tians and what" their own religious status was. I sent out 141 of these lists to the editors of papers in every part of this country and Canada, and with each list was a iiersonal note and an address and stamied envelope. Out of the whole I received twenty-eight answers, iriese twenty-eight replies came from Hartford, Providence, JSew York, Alhany, Mon treal and other points. Two of the stamped envelopes were returned, sealed and empty, from Philadelphia, and I took the liberty of taking this as an indica tion of the opinions of ttie Philadelphia papers." Mr. Siegfried said the interest in this Bort of correspondence was in the clues it might give us to the attitude of the press toward religion, and that he re ceived replies from five German and twenty-three English papers, but not a single German paper announced any of its employeB as religious men. The Ixmisville Commercial reported one-fifth of its staff professed Christians ; the At lanta Constitution three-fourths; the Albany Eevning Journal eight out of twenty-three men ; the New York Journal of Commerce rive-ninths; the Boston Traveller one-third; the Washington Republican 1 jer cent; the Chicago Evening Journal one in five. The Kt. Paul Globe said that it treated religous creeds as it did political creeds, upholding what was good in them and denouncing what was bad. The Louisville Commercial thought the churches did better work than the police. SI ura t ltalHtead wrote ; "1 have not had time yet to conquer this world and so have not invaded any other." The Kansas Guy limes said news- papers always treated religion in a fair spirit. Hie Wushington nepubiican said it was "tolerant to all creeds and doemos." "A distinguished clergyman has said the Kundav patters 'must go," he con tinued. " lie never made a greater mis take. The Sunday newspaper will stay, for it has come to stay. 1 do not now speak for or against it. I only state facts, There is no force that is so strongly BactP laming the sabbath as the bunuay news- paper. But the Sunday paper cannot be ignored or doomed. VY hat are you going to do with it? All that religion can ask of the newspaper is that it walk uprightly in its secular path. Mr. Siegfried th.cn referred to the press as a great agent in purifying the moral atmosphere, and referred to the work of papers on convicting Tweed, downing the Kuklu.t, driving the gamblers out of Louisville and cleaning the dens from Twenty-seventh street, in New York. Philadelphia News. IN THE COUNTRY SANCTUM. An Atlanta reporter who once "pulled a hand press" on a country weekly tells this story : One day, while the paper was being worked off, a man from the country came in and walked around the room, finally stopping near the press and watching the work very earnestly. "Anything lean do for you?" asked the man at the lever, pausing between impressions. "Naw," was the reply, "I don't want nothin', I jis come in to see ye edit." On another a man came in with a bas ket of snap beans, and, placing thorn on the editorial table, exclaimed : "See what I fotch ye !" Ie remained half an hour or so, and, as he arose to go, said : "Whatever ye think tiiom is wuth, jis put it down on my subscription." The customary thanks ,for snap beans didn't get in the paper that week. At lanta Constitution. NO TROUBLE TO SIGNAL. "Will you please signal to me in the gallery when Senator Blair begins to spoak?" asked a constituent of Senator Hour. "Certainly, sir, certainly," replied the senator. "Well, what shall the signal be," asked the constituent. "1 11 leave, answered the senator, with much enthusiasm. Hatchet. (TKK OF 11TH COMPLAINT. Town Falls, Hardin Co., Iowa, Juno B, lasTi.

People who reside in smaller cities than New York continually refer to the noise and bustle of the metropolis as the chief argument against it as a place of residence. They have no idea of the quiet home-life here, and know nothing of the thousands of families, who are as much out of the rush and roar of New York life as though they resided in the mountain fastness of Pikecounty. There is a little colony of people in Thirty-eighth street who prove to everybody's satisfac tion, including their own, that a quiet residence is a possible thing in New York. Four or five houses are occupied by fam ily connections more or less close. They are tremendously industrious in church matters, their servants are happy and easy-going, and their houses are models of neatness, both within and without. Every one of the five families has a far from fashionable, but thoroughly reliable, coachman and sturdy horses. There is a vast deal of visiting among the mem bers of the different households, and on Sunday there is such an outpouring of well-dressed church-goers as few other houses in New York can show. I hear a good deal about them, for I have an ac quaintance, who is chiefly distinguished for his inability to win at horse-races and his disinclination to pay tailor's bills, who has apartments across the way. He is a small man, with a thoughtful man ner and an overdrawn bank-acconnt. So far as my own experience goes, the great er part of his life is spent in trying to fig ure out how' he can make an income of eight thousand dollars' worth of debts per annum. He doesn't get much sleep, his evenings being 'spent in guarding stage doors, supporting the card-table at the club, kicking over ash-barrels, and in dulging in similar freaks of fancy and mental labor: Accordingly he sieepslate. About two o'clock in tiie afternoon he usually manages to get through with his breakfast, which event is signalized by his appearance at the front windows of his apartments. He leans far out wrapped m a uutn roDe, crowned dv a polo cap, and adorned by a big cigar, and puts in an hour and a half of quiet observation of the unobtrusive families across the way, much to their scandal, no doubt, lie has made it a habit during the last five months to bow gravely to all of the servants, and as theyare all goodnatured negroes, his sa lutations are returned with gleaming teeth and broad Africans grins. When tie goes out and climbs solemnly into his cart at the door, he bows with extreme solem nity to the house-fronts and then rattles away. He is probably regarded in the light of a diversion by the respectable families across the way, unless they look upon him as an unmitigated monster. A remarKame negro lives across the way from me. He is the butler of a quiet family of oldish people, who hail from Boston, ihey are given to reading heavy tomes, observing considerable silence, and exhibiting an intense and high de gree of solemnity. It wears upon the butler. He is very bald, very straight, and apparently exceedingly respectable, but his natural disposition will crop out in spite ot his rigid regard lor the propne- ties. To-day, for instance, he had just put a visitor out ot ttie house with a ma jestic bow when he discovered an ash man last asleep on ttie edge of his cart. He looked at him for a moment, and then went over to the ash-cart and pulled a bit of rope from the ashes. The driver wore a long-tailed and ragged Newmarket coat, winch he had fished out of a barrel somewhere, and the butler carefully tied the tail of the coat to one of the big cart wheels, ihen be retired to the house, and a moment later the lower windows were alive with the grinning faces of the female servants of the house. Presently the Irishman waked up with a start. cave a whoop at discovering that he had been asleep, kicked the horse, and the cart moved ahead. There wasa clutch, a shrink, a wild confusion of cart wheels, New-market coats, and ash-heavers, flop on the ground, and presently a lonely and disheveled Irishman stood up and glared wildly around, lie no longer w ore a Newmarket coat, but he kicked tiie horse into a state of subjection, and then suddenly catching sight of a small boy, who was grinning derisively, started after him on a full run and disappeared around the corner. Tiie solemn butler peered cautiously from the door, and then descending rapidly to the street, tied the reins in a dozen knots, stole a big plume that was sticking out of the horse's collar and thrust it into the ashes, turned the animal around, and started him in the opposite direction from that which the Irishman had taken. The horse patient'y and mildly ambled away toward the west, and drifted quite out of sight before the Irishman received a tip from a good natured policeman, which sent him bounding along toward the setting sun in pursuit of his steed. There is some little divertisement of this sort every day from the majestic old negro, who is evidently obliged to keep up such a wonderful show of respectability in the house that he takes it out in larking in the street.

The following report of the grand jury was filed yesterday : To the Honorable the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for Marion county : We, the undersigned grand jurors for tlm June term of said court, 1880, beg leave to report : That we have completed our labors, and investigated all matters that have been submitted to us. That we visited the offices of the several county oilieers, and made a cursory exam mation of the records and olhcial paers therein, and so far as our examination extended we found everything in good order, and tiie records systematically ar ranged and well kept. 1 he court house is in good condition, and we have only to recommend that the floors of the jail be repaired, and that burglar-proof safe be placed in the office of the county treasurer, inasmuch as the one now in use is, in our opinion, unsafe as a depository of the couuty funds. The asylum, penitentiary, state home, and other public buildings of the stite, were also visited by us, and everything seems to be in order. The asylum, we were informed by the officials in charge, now contains 455 inmate1"., and there is begining to be a lack of room for these unfortunates. Tho building was only designed for the accomodation of 412 patients, we were informed ; and, if this be true, the building will soon have to be enlarged. The officials in charge are de serving of special mention for the perfect order and neatness maintained through out the several ward3. The poor farm building is badly in need of a coat of paint, but the inmates appear to le contented, and their wants proper ly attended to. The grand jurors recom mend that the said buildifg be repaint ed this summer. Signed. T. H. Wilson, foreman; F. A. Bingham, R. W. Sayre, J. K. White, II. B. -Ueann, V. Barnes, Wm. Scollard. OUR WORST ENEMIES'. Next to our vices, are our follies. Amons them la the Imperilling of future bodily com fort, and the average tenure of life to which persons of moderately good constitutions are persumably entitled, by imprud"nce in eatinc; and drinking, and the reckless use of drugs. It is one of the happy capabilities of ilosletter's Stamach Bitters that it can repair damage thus inflicted. W hen the blood is thin and watery, the bowels out of order, the complexion and tongue both giving evidence of biliousness, there is a necessity for repairs upon the human tenement obvious enouen to gianie its possess or. A course of the Bitters, the abandonment of "drugging" for relief, and a common sense diet and mode of life these will soeedily pro duce a change forthe better. What quinine for fever and age, and mercury for biliousness and constipation, won't do, the Bitters will. It also relieves rheumatism and neuralgia, and inac tivity of the kidneys. ADVICE TO MOTHERS. Are you disturbed at night and broken of yeur rest by a sick child suffering and crying with pain of cutting teeth? If so, send at once and get a bottle of the Wlnslow'i Boothing Syrup for Children's Teething. Its value is Incalculable It will relieve the poor little sufferor Immedi ately. Depend upon it, mothers, there is no mistake about it It cures disentery and diarr hoea, regulates the stomach and bowels, cures wind colic, softens the gums.reduces innama tlon, and gives tone and energy tp the whole system. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup for Children's Teething is pleasant to the taste, and is the prescription of one of the oldest and best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and is for sale by all druggists through, the World.

Piles are frequently preceded by a tonne of weight in the back, loins and lower pait of the abdomen, causing the patfent to suppose he has some alfection of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At times symptoms of indigestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspirstiou, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is common attendant. Blind, bleeding and itching piles yield at once to t lie application, of Dr. Bousauko's Pile Keinedy, which acts diiect ly upon the parts effected, alorbing tiie tumors, allaying the intense itehing.and effecting a per manent cure.
