CIRoUs TRoUBLEs.--Mike Lipmans
circus left the city this morning and sp
pears at fernando tonight. The circus
opened two weeks since with bright pros
poets, the canvas being filled the first
night and many being unable to gain ad-
mission. The rainy spell, however,
dampened the ardor of the circus-loving
folks, and slim audiences was the result
The last exhibition they gave was on
Wednesday night last. Thursday night
it rained and after drumming half doz-
en- people in, they returned their money.
Friday and Saturday the rain continued
and there was no show. Several attach.
ments for debt were issued against the
circus on Friday, the horses, etc, being
seized, and many thought the circus
would bust" But they were mistaken,
for Mike Lipman got out of his financial
troubles yesterday, and has departed
South, poorer man by his efforts to run
circus in Memphis against the rain
and mud.

Great Engineering Projects.

Gdlignani states that M. Thome de Gam
mond has revived his project for constructing
submarine railway tunnel across the Eng
fish Channel. he has SO modified his plans
as to suppress the costly artificial islands
which were to contain air shafts. Four gal
leries are to be pierced, the longest of which
will not exceed six miles. The plans of this
enterprise will be shown at the Paris Exhibi-
ton.
The project of traversing the Alps by a tun-
mel unoer Mount Saint Gothard, after having
been for ten years the object OF minute study,
was lately detin itively adopted by the Italian
government. A recent number of the Jour
nal des 4r0UGuG Publics gives some details of
the colossal proportions of this enterprise,
which will require eleven years for its COM
plete execution. The tunnel will be nearly
twenty-one miles in length, including the Gov
cred passages rendered Unnecessary in certain
places by the danger of avalanches. 1t will
only require air shafts in four places. The
southern entrance of the passage will be about
500 feet above the level of the sea, and the
northern exit very nearly the same. The
horizontal position OF the line will be about
one-third of its entire length. The highest
gradient will be upon the Italian side, about
81 per cent, the average being about 1-2.
Where the inclination does not exceed to
l,0O0ordinary engines will be employed, but
when that gradient is surpassed, special ones
will have to be used. The expense of the tun-
mel alone is estimated at $14,0O0,000.

FREDRIRA BREMER's HOME LIFE.-Miss
Margaret Hewitt known to American read
ers by her "Artist Life in Munich" has lately
published two volumes entitled Twelve
Months with Fredrika Bremen" and commem-
orativp of year which she spent not long AGO
with the distinguished Swedish novelist. No
one could have visited Miss Bremen on a hap
pier footing than Miss Hewitt, and no one
could have turned it to better advantage than
she appears to have done. She lets us into
Miss Bremers private life, which was as
charming as it was simple, and gives us be-
sides a graphic picture of the Swedish people,
bringing US face TO face with their manners
and customs.
The last half of her work has such an air of
0rdiSena6tdnce as to occasionally suggest the
novels OF MISS Bremer, whose spirit Miss How
lit has caught for the time. She abounds in
anecdotes, which are very telling, indicating
as they do the personality of the persons mem
toned, and the characteristics Of the plain and
homely Swedish folk. One in particular shows
the simplicity of the lower orders. Two SER
wants were given tickets to go to theatre. To
which they went, aud from which they soon
returned. "You have surely not been?" ask
cd their mistress. "Oh yes,n they answered,
"we went to the theatre, and sat there till sud-
denly curtain drew up and some ladies and
gentlemen began talking together, but as il
was on family matters we felt we were intrud-
ing, and so came home" A second anecdote
concerns a contented newer of wood and
drawer of water. as not your work very
monotonous?" some one asked him. ''No. in
deed, there is plenty of variety in it; some
times it's wood and sometimes it's water"

Meteoric Explosion.

The Shreveport (La.) Southeastern reports
the following: "Two gentlemen, few days
ago, while riding along the road short dis
lance from this place, witnessed curious oc-
currence during the daytime: A rain was
coming up, preceded by a slight sprinkling,
when at short distance ahead they saw a
large ball offire descend slowly from the clouds
and afiix itself to the trunk of tall dead pine,
al the height of a few feet from the ground--
Both called to each other simultaneously to
notice the strange object, which, to use their
own words 'biazed up where it stood like a
candle.' IL so continued for few seconds,
when it suddenly exploded with a tremendous
defamation, tearing the tree into thousand
splinters and setting fire to the portion of the
stump that remained. A considerable area
was filled with falling foliage, and fragments
scattered in every direction. Immediately up
on the explosion, a streak of fire was seen
shooting OF horizontally from the tree follow
ing the surface of the ground, passing within
fifty or sixty feet of them, and of the charac-
ter of a stream of lighting, as often seen de-
scending from the clouds when it strikes. The
sight was terrific in the extreme The air be-
came strongly impregnated with pungent,

A FENIAN SCARE.-The Chicago Post is
responsible for the following amusing state;
mcnt.
we mentioned the other day the fitting
out, at great expense, of Canadian gunboats
at Windsor, to meet, and, :fpossiblc, TO defeat
the Fenian fleet that was supposed to he on
its way from Chicago. On Saturday night
last dispatches were received, both at Wind
scr and Detroit, from Port Huron, lat the
southern extremity OF Lake Huron,) that the
Fenian naval expedition had passed that place
on its way to 9he scene OF operations (proba-
bly, Windsor). Instantly the Canadian gum
boats trlpped their anchors, and began to pre-
pare their decks for action. The American
revenue cutter John Sherman, was also Or
dered to be on the alert. On shore, the ex-
element was intense, and vast crowds of pee
pie with blanched faces and trembling knees
lined the wharves at Windsor.
The wharves on the Detroit side were also
densely crowded with people, all attracted by
curiosity to witness the dreadful naval conflict
that was expected to come off as soon as the
Fenian fleet should make its appearance
Those who witnessed the fierce gunboat fight
on the Mississippi river before the city of
Memphis can form very good idea OF the
combat which the people Of Detroit and
Windsor somewhat confidently expected to
witness under the shining stars of last Satur-
day night.
At length the ships of the Fenian armada
made their appearance. A powerful steam
propeller doubtless the Fenian Admiral's flag
ship led the van, and was followed at short
distance by a schooner-rigged sailing vessel,
with the green flag floating defantly from the
mizzen peak. The rest of the fleet consisted
of ships that were not visible to the naked eye,
nor to the most powerful marine telescopes
that could be found in Detroit or Windsor.
The Canadian gunboats opened their ports,
and the gunners, with lanyards in hand, stood
ready TO blaze away at the word of command
To give the word, the officer of the day-or
the night, rather-only waited for the enemy
to come within range. Meanwhile, however,
the American cutter Sherman boldly steamed
towards the approaching feet and demanded
parley, threatening to sink the entire estab-
lishment lift was not accorded. 1t was ac-
corded, and an officer was sent on board. In
a briefspac Of time he returned with disgust
written legibly upon his countenance, and re-
ported that the supposed Fenian fleet was the
schooner Dickinson OF Chicago, with a cargo
ofwheat for Buffalo, in tow Of "a tug which
had brought her over the ST. Clair Flats !
The Canadian gunboats suddenly closed their
ports, and the crowd quickly dispersed, asking
each other if they had seen in the tirmameni
or anywhere, those cabalistic characters OF
the Sons of Malta: =. o. L. d."

The Flag.
1.-THE following patriotic poem is from til
pen of the late Rev. DIR. Constantine c. Pts
If Brooklyn, N. vi
They say 1 do not love thee,
Flag of my native land,
Whose meteor folds above ME
To the free breeze expand;
Thy broad stripes proudly Streaming,
And thy stars SO brightly cleaning.
They say would forsake thee
Should some dark crisis lower;
That, recreant, should make thee
Crouch TO a foreign power
Secuced by license ample,
On thee, blest flag, to tianlplc.
They say that bolts OF thunder,
Hurled by the ponUih' hand
May rive and bring thee under,
Flag Of my native land
And with one blow discover
My heart from thee forever.
False are the words they utter,
Ungenerous theirbrand,
And rash the oaths they mutter,
Flag of my native land;
While still in hope above me
Thou wayest-and love thee.
God is my loves first duty,
To whose eternal name
praise Tor all thy beauty,
Thy grandeur and thy lame;
But ever have reekoned
Thine, native nag, my second.
Woe to the foe or stranger,
Whose sacrilegous hand
Would touch thee or endanger,
flag of my native land;
Though some would fain discard me-
Mime should be raised TO guard thee!
Then wave, thou first of banners,
And in thy genial shade
Let creeds, opinions, manners,
Pr0miscuously be laid;
And then, all discord ended,
Our hearts ana souls be blended.
Stream on, stream on before us,
Thou Labarum OF light,
While in our gentle chorus
Our VOWS to thee We plight;
Unfaithiul to thce?-never,
My native flag, forever.
