The Great Tunnel,

plying Chicago with pure water. The tun-

little over three thousand feet. When COM

of the crib are twenty. five feet thick and
water tight, and it is forty-one feet high,

HEAVY SALE OF LAHDs.-We have sat-
isfactory authority for the statement that
not less than forty thousand acres Of public
lands were sold during the three months
ending on the lst inst, at the single land
office at Boonville, Mo. This is in addition,
it should be remembered, to the sales of
lands by private parties and companies
throughout the State. The amount of real

in Missouri is perhaps unprecedented

one hundred wagons, drawn by three hun
dred yoke of oxen. The wagons were pur-
chased of B. F. LathrOp, Of this city, the
agent of the Jackson, Michigan, wagon,
manufactured by Austin, TonlinsOn & Web
ster. In making up the train two wagons
are coupled together, and the two thus
coupled are drawn by six yoke of oxen (;
the forward one is to carry forty hundred,
and the rear one thirty hundred, making
seventy hundred as the load for each team.
The oxen are fat and designed TO fill a beef

There are other large trains now starting,

Rebel Loss in the War.

Gov. Parsons, in his proclamation 10 the
people Of Alabama, preliminary 10 reOrgani-
cation in that State estimates that 10000
men of that State went upon the battlefield
of whom 10000 gre dead or disabled. II
we apply the same ration of enlistsments in
the other States that held out during the
war, and make an approximation of The
numbers sent out from the remainder of tht
slave States, we shall have the following
interesting table:

A VALUABLE CoRYER.-The proprietor
Of the New York Herald has bought the
lot on which Barnum's Museum stood, for
$65O,OO0. The lot measures So feet on
Broadway by 100 on Ann, and the fee sim
pie was in Mrs, II. w. Sargent, Of New.
burgh, to whom $450OOO of the purchase
money goes. Barnum held twelve years
lease, for which BenDettpaid him 100000
cash, which the Snowman instantly invested
in 1905. The lot is the finest and most
valuable corner in the United States. Ben
net intends TO erect thereon building for
the Herald, to cost 100000, making his
whole investment nearly million of dollars.
No paper in the United States is rich enough
to do that but the Herald.

If all the men who were once got into
the rebel army were retained during the
war, or during their ability to serve, there
were, according TO this calculation, 1884,
900 men in the rebel service at the close of
the war. But if allowances be made for
desertion, &c., and for the sick in the hos.
pitfalls who have recovered and are not
counted by Gov. Parsons among the disabled,
we shall find this number 1900 dimin-
ished to something like the actual number
that either surrendered TO our forces or
scattered to their homes Immediately after
the fall Of Richmond. II seems, therefore,
from this verifcation of the solution Of the
problem, that Gov. Parsons was not far
from the truth, and that we have made
about the proper allowances in filling up the
table.

THE UNION ARMIES.

The Cincinnati Commercial says the
armies of the United States, during the last
year of the war, were numerically much
larger than the popular estimate Of them.
AT the recent festivities of Yale College, in
honor of the students and graduates of that
institution who had seen active service
during the war, General Parsons, Of St.
Louis, who was fresh from an interview
with Secretary Stanton, stated that 7S2,-
GAP men had then been discharged and sent
home, and that another loo, 600 would be
sent homo in q few days. He further
stated that, at the time Lee surrendered,
there were in the service within two OF
three thousand Of q round million Of men.
This confirms what was stated TO US by q
Paymaster of the army, stationed in Wash.
ington last winter, and who had access tC
the official papers, thot, on the lst Of Janu'
ary last, there were on the pny'rolls of the
army, exclusive Of Quartermasters' olerk'
and other pseudo-soldiers, one million foul
hundred thousand men. The figures were
SO enormous as to appear incredible to us
but the facts stated by General Parsons
confirm their accuracy Republican.
