srA Yankee Soap pedlar being prohib-
tied from retailing his goods in the streets of
Newark without a license, gave notice Of
lecture to be delivered on soap, at public
hall, charging for admission the price OF the
soap, and giring cake to each one who
came. The novelty of the thing drew such
crowds, that Mr. Hewitt, who had advertised
to read Shakespeare that evening, postponed

A DELIGHTED MoTHER.-A mother who
was in the habit Of asking her children, be-
fore they retired at night, what they had done
through the day to make others happy, found
her young twin daughters silent One spoke
modestly Of the deeds and dispositions found
ed on the golden rule, ''Do unto others as
you would that they should do unto you"
Still those little bright faces. bowed down in
serious silence The question was repeated.
''I can remember nothing all this day,
dear mother only. one Of my school-maies
was happy, because she had gained the head
of the class, and smiled on her, and ran to
kiss her, so she said ] was good. This is
all, dear mother.
The other spoke still more tmidIy "A
little girl who sat by me on the bench at
school, has lost little brotEer saw that
while she studied her lesson, she hid her face
in her book, and wept; felt sorry, and laid
my face on the same book, and wept with
her. Then she looked up and was comiorted,
and put her arms around my neck, but do
not know why she said ] haS done her
good
s'Come TO my arms, my darlings." said
the mother, "to rejoice with those that re-
ioice and weep with those that weep, is to
obey our blessed Redeemef."

OF Wellington was the greatest general whom
the late wars brought forth for human con-
temptation; his mind was so admirably pois-
ed, notwithstanding the vivacity of his genius,
that ne was always equally ready and equal
ly great on every occasion. He united the
powerful conception of Napoleon to the
adyjudgment of Moreau Each of these
mighty captains was, perhaps, in some degret
superior TO Wellington in his peculiarly; I;
Napoleon may have had more rapidhy of
view to devise plan OIL the battlefield, and
change his whole order Of battle, as he did
at Marengo. Moreau may have understood
better the management of a retreating army
before an exulting enemy. But the exquisite
apprehension and intelligence of Arthur
Wellesley served him in moment, and took
at once the conduct and the measures which
the occasion required. Many OF our coun-
trymen have contested his genius but no
man can deny to him the most equitable
judgment that ever shone forth in great
soldier. 1t is this admirable faculty, this
discerning wisdom Of the mind, which has
misled all Europe as to his genius, in the same
manner as it did two centuries ago in the
case of the great Lord Bacon. Men do not
expect to see in the same person the active
and the passive spirit equally great; nor does
Nature usually bestow such opposite gifts on
the same man. In Napoleon steady judg-
ment and patient endurance of calamity
were not the concomitants of his impulsive
genius and tremendous activity in war; Mo
reau had all this passive greatness. But the
Duke of Wellington only had united the two
gifts. Nay more, the noble army he had so
long commanded had gradually learnt to par
take Of the character of their leader No
soldiers in the world but the English could
have stood those successive charges, that
murderous artillery which they so bravely
bore at Waterloo. .',-TGlobe.

HE SEVEN-MILE TUNNEL THROUGH THE
ALPs.-The following details are gathered
from paper on the subject by DIR. Granville.
To give at once some idea Of the boldness
Of Chev. Mons undertaking, we may, in the
first place, state that, in its progress, the
tunnel must pass under some of the most ele-
waited crests of Mont Cenis-one, in particu-
lar, where there will be 4 $50 feet of noun
tain, capped with eternal glaciers, over head
at the middle of the tunnel, so that not only
will the workmen and machinery in construc-
ton, and the passengers and trains in transit
be buried to that depth in the heart of the
mountain, but all idea shafts, either to fa-
ciIitate excavation, or to promote ventilation,
must be out of the question. The breath of
life itself must be respired, from either ex-
tremity, with artificial aid, in shape of cur
rents fresh air transmitted, and of foul
Withdrawn, by mechanical apparatus ever at
work ,@at least during excavation, which IS
also itself to be effected by machinery of
new and simple nature, worked by water
power of mountain streams, whereby the
trains are also to be run through the tunnel,
which ascends, from the northern or Savoy
side, at Modane, all the way to its exit at
Bardonneche, with gradient equal to 10 in
| 900. The machine, once presented to the
rock projects into it simultaneously four hori-
zontal series Of sixteen scalpels, working
backwards and forwards by means of springs
cased in, and put in motion by the same water
power While these are at work, one ver-
tical series on each side works Simultaneous
ly up and down, so that together they cut out
four blocks, or rather insulate four blocks on
all sides, except on the rock behind, from
which they are afterwards detached by hand
1t has been already ascertained that each OF
the two machines. at the opposite ends OF the
tunnel, will excavate to the extent OF ~ feet
a-day, and it is estimated that the whole ex-
will be completed in four years
The gallery to be perforated by the machines
will be l3 feet wide by feet high, and this
once cut through, the bore will be enlarged
by ordinary means to 25 feet in width and 10
feet in height, and double line of rails laid.
The estimated cos, Of this great tunnel is
only 1891 ,942 fr. f552, 1917 It's to be
