manship and his power to control sailors
shipped jolly tar, who was better at spin

about the deck one morning, and wishing
some attention paid aloft, approached hi n,
ard after ordering him into the rigging. called
him id rascal Rising from his position,
Jack expressed his willingness to obey Or
ders, but told the Captain not 10 call him that
name any more. The Captain repea ted the
epithet with vehemeIce, and swearing that he
had killed five sailors for disobedience. and
was then ready TO send Jack to "Davy Jones'
locker" ordered him aloft Jack, ins tead Of
obey ing the command, warned the Captain n OF
TO repeat the epithet, declaring he would not
stand 1t. The Captain furious with rage re-
peated the harsh language for the third time
and was about to make a few additions, when
Jacks right arm Strengthened from the
shoulder, in the diree ton OF the Captain and
in the next minute the skipper found himself
fiat OF his back. Rising to his feet as quick rs
he could, the Captain started to advance upon
Jack, but seeing that he was as cold as IN ice

now. If felt disposed l could twist your
neck and throw yOu into the sea but the
dread OF seeing q notice in the papers that

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF JESSE BooRss
1t will be recollected that jess Boorn, of
Geauga County, who gave his age as 7e
years, was recently sentenced BY the U. s.
District Court, in this city, to five years
Imprisonment in the Penitentiary, on o
charge of counterfeiting coin, to which he
plead guilty. The old man stood up to re-
ceive his sentence without tremor and with
unblenched eye, the feebleness and palsy
put on for effect before the trial being 30
longer available to excite commiseration
or avert merited Imprisonment. There is
a marvellous history of a supposed murder
and trial for it in connections with Boom,
the facts having transpired in Vermont as
long ago as 1919. Criminal records afford
no case more extraordinary and interesting,
and we reproduced it from the account Civ
en- by the newspapers of that day. The
old-fashoned style of the narrative, as we'll
as the dreams and ghosts of that period,
heighten the interest of the recital. 1t is
but justice to Boorn to state that while in
jail here he persistently denied having
confessed that the Colvin who appeared
forty-one years ago and saved his neck from
the halter was bogus.

A City Railroad to be COnstruc.
ted Under Ground i'm London.

A Lendon paper contains a description
of tunnel now building under the streets
of London, for the purpose Of connecting
the city with a series of railroads at the
North of the Thames. To have railway
after the American fashion, passing through
densely populated district, and crossing
on a level and over crowded thoroughfares,
was considered out of the question. Their
fore, the plan was resorted to of avoiding
the surface altogether, leaving that to the
ordinary local traffic and travel, and going
entirely under the city with all the passen-
ger and freight trains. The tunnel was
constructed by making an opeucut from the
surface of the street down the distance re-
quired, building the archway, and the re-
placing the surface cheaper mode than
tunneling. The work has been contracted
for and is now in progress. The company
engaged in it have capital of $4,25O,-
600, in shares of $50 each.
To avoid any annoyance from smoke, or
the combustion of fuel in the tunnel, the
train is to be worked by light locomo-
tives of novel and ingenious construction.
They have no fire-box, but will be charged
with hot water and steam to a certain pres
sure, to be supplied by fixed boilers ut the
termini, and will be furnished with a large
heater to assist in maintaining the required
temperature. 1t believed tba: each loco
motive can be supplied with power sufi-
cient to run the whole tunnel distance
The tunnel is expected to be finished in
working order by 1862.
