Sour GRAPEs.-A friend related to
US one morning q scene in a school

custom In the school to read moral

questions the scholars on what has
been read The day our friend visited
the school, the lesson was in regard to
the taking of fruit, and was q sort of
narrative, In which Il was, stated a
teaeherlhad told his class not to touch
the, fruit that grew m neiehboffup
orchard, but 70 wait until It was Ter3
fectly ripe, and they should an have a
snare In 1t. They all disobeyed the
command with the exception OF one
little gtrl-she alone refrained from
touching the fruit. The first question

This appeared to puzzle the class, and
for long time no one was ready to an

bottom of the class held up his hand,
which was equivalent 70 saying that he

proceed, when he astonished the teach.

Letter from Admiral Farragut.

"NEw YORK Cry, January 16.-NIy Dear Sir;-
/ was much gratihed at the receipt OF your let
ter, manifesting such deep interest in the navy.
This action of the State in establishing a naval
division of the Bureau of Military Record,
thereby preserving TO posteIity and the future
historian records of the achievements of our
navy in the suppression of the late most wicked
Rebellion, / regard of very great and lasting
Importance. It Is eminently an act of jus
tice, alike to the Republic and the State, and to
the brave men who have suffered, fought, and
bled to uphold our glorious Union in all its in
7'The history Of our navy for the last FIVE
years is unparalleled, for the reason that the
Inventions and improvements in shipbuilding,
ordnance and III almost every description OF
warllke Implements, offensive and defensive,
are so destructive and terrific in their charac-
ter as well calculated to demorallze any but the
stoutest hearts. Yet our brave sailors, faithful
to their duty, have always met their foe in what
ever shape he appeared fought and conquered,
besides toiling through the war in its tedious
blockade of more than three thousand miles,
with patient energy which ! trust VIII ever
recommend them to the high consideration of
their country. 1t is, therefore, as | have said,
emineutly due, alike to the navy and the army
that the records Of our great war, now happily
a thing OF the past, OF our brave defenders and "a
peoples patriotism, be collected and preserved in
the vigilant custody of the State as the brightest
Jewels of her crown. | appreciate with you the
great national and historical Importance OF the
action of the State in creating this naval divi-
sion of the Military Bureau, for 1t must neCes-
sarily include in its records of the naval men
from the Empire State, who have fought in
every fight and on every vessel, history of the
entire navy and naval operations and it is
proper that il should be so, for while local and
Slate pride is not only pardonable, but proper,
our naval men in particular are sons of the
Republic more than citizens of the State. But
am glad that the noble State OF New York,
which has furnished large and unequal pro-
portion of our vessels and crews, has taken
the initiative in this great work, which reflects
honor upon its legislators as well as its citizen
defenders.
az shall be very GLAD to afford you any assist
ance in your laudable undertaking. and trust
that my brother officers and men win take the
same interest in it that do.
'Wishing you every success in the objects
and purposes OF your Office, am, dear sir, very
truly yours ID. q. tARRAGUT

The Mont Cents Tunnel.

The Boston Transcript has intelligence from a
correspondent at Turin of the progress of the
work OF tunnelling the Alps. The entire length
OF the tunnel is IL, ,220 metres, or little over 75
miles. 5000 metres are finished; there remain
COLL metres. At the rate of progress last year,
the finishing of this will require not quite six
years. Whether this rate OF progress will be
maintained and whether the treasury of Gov
ernment Ctaly), with deficit of a million of
francs (S200000) per day. will hold out, are ques-
tions which time alone can settle. The writer
fixes the time OF completion at ten years from
the present time, thus allowing for slower pro-
gress as the distance increases. 81, 200, 900 are
to be expended this year; this gives twelve mil
lions of dollars for finishing.
The correspondent wrtes:-"At this date
February 10y very nearly one-half of the whole
work is completed, and 1t may be confidently
relied upon that the work will 90 on at con-
stantly increasing rate of progress. There is
every reason to have perfect faith in the etci-
ency OF the machines. We have arrived Mt the
stratum of quartz rock. We find it sometimes
solid and sometimes broken and mixed up with
anhydrit Quartz. However, we have always
got through this rock at the rate OF GO metres
(23 23 inches) to so metres 1913 inches) per day.
This is on the side of Modane. have men,
toned that on the Bardoneche side we have
been stopped by the cholera for two months. 1t
is not probable, as you perceive. that harder
rock can be met with (than this quartz rock) |;
and il is not impossible that tougher (ptUs
tendce) rock may be encounteret; but such an
accident will no more stop the work, than it
was stopped when we came to.thc quartz rock.o

An Artist Killed,
WILLIAM B. oDDIE ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.

WILLIAM B. oDDIE ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
An artist named William B. Oddie was shot
ana instantly killed this morning at the south
west corner OF Fourth avenue and Fourteenth
street. The shooting was accidental. The facts
are, briefly, that at about 10 O'Clock Mr.. Odde
entered the Carlton saloon, and sat down to read
newspaper; and in few moments Mr.. John
La Dew entered. Having engaged a boy to
backen his Doots La Dew took a revolver out
OF his pocket, which he was carelessly hand
ling, when one of the barrels discharged, tine
ball taking effect in the head of Mr. Oddie. 1t
first struck his hatband, and then passed into
his brain and lodged under the right eye,
causing immediate death. The body of Mr..
Oddie was removed to the Fifteenth Pre-
Ginct Station House, where Coroner Wildey
will hold an inquest this afternoon. Mr..
La Dew, in company with Mr.. Henry G. Genet,
Immediately went to Police Headquarters,
where the former gave himself in charge OF the
officers. Mr.. Oddle and Mr.. La Dew were init.
mate friends, and, it is said, had been engaged
in onversaton alter La Dew entered the saloon.
Mr.. Oddie had a studio at the corner OF Uni
versity place and Twelfth street. He was forty
seven years of age. Ten or twelve years ago
Mr.. OddIe painted many pleasing landscapes,
which met with ready sale. Although he was
not an artist of a high order, his pictures were
admired by many persons, and at one time he
occupied good position in his profession. Of
late years Mr.. Oddie did not produce many
works and his pictures were seldom seen by the
public. He was man Of much culture, and of
large form and commanding presence His first
wife was a daughter of the late Myndert Van
Schaick.-N. Y. EUening Post, 2Sth.
