THE ROAD TO BALTIMORE
It Was Over Floating Bridges In tht
Old Old Days
The road to Baltimore is over tli
lowest of three floating bridges which
have been thrown across the Schuyl
kill river in the neighborhood of Fhili
delphia The view on passing thia
river which is about 250 yards wide
is beautiful The banks on each sid
are high and for many miles above af
ford the most delightful situations of
villas A very elegant one laid out in
English taste is seen on passing the
river just above ihe bridge Adjoining
to it are public gardens and a house
of entertainment with several good
roT5 Jo which the citizens of Phila
detihii rert in great numbers during
tin seasons
The iliMting bridges are formed ot
large trees which are placed in the
water transversely and are chained to
gether Beams are then laid length
ways upon these and the whole
ed over to render the way convenient
for passengers On each side there is
a railing When very heavy carriages
go across these bridges they sink a
few inches below the surface of the
water but the passage is by no means
dangerous They are kept in an even
direction across the rivr by means of
chains and anchors in different parts
and are also strongly secured on both
shores Over that part of the river
where the channel lies they are so
contrived that a piece can be removed
to allow vessels to pass through

London Saturday Review
Hannibals Downfall
The fate of Hannibal turned upon
the result of a promenade It was after
he had crossed the Alps and entered
Italy with winter quarters established
at Capua His residence was one of
the best houses in the ctity and while
walking in the garden he heard a fe
male voice singing not far away
Struck by the tones of the voice he is
sued an order that the singer should be
brought before him ne was so greatly
impressed by her charms that he at
once attached her to his household
disposing of the husband by beheading
him Retribution followed closely upon
the cowardly perpetration of the out
rage The balance of the winter was
devoted to pleasure discipline and
drills were practically abandoned and
with the advent of spring the Cartha
ginian army was so demoralized by
the dissipation of the city that its pres
tige was lost and with it came the
downfall of Hannibal
