TunneI Under the Atlantic

A proposition is on foot to star
the gigantic undertaking of running
q tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean, il
order to connect the New and Old
World together by means of sub
marine railway. The most eminent
engineers, botn in America and Eu
rope, have consulted, and they have
drawn up q report which is perfect,
feasible, and only requires time anC
money to carry out while the capital
although stupendous will be forth.
coming. So far as calculated approx.
lmately, it will require five hundred
million English pounds ,or two billion
five hundred million dollars. Plen
ty of capitalists are ready to engage
in this marvellous undertaking, and
as soon as the plans are arranged
the money will be advanced. The
proposed plans are in themselves the
wonder OF tnis skillul age of engin
eering science.

Mr. PendIeton,s Speech.

The speech of Mr.. Pendleton las
night, SO far as we heard it, was de
voted to the assertion of the dodm.
that the States of the Union are sov
ereignties, and that the citizen owe,
his allegiance primarily to this State
and not to the National government
and to assert the State authority Al
supreme, in any case Of disputed
powers. In short, Mr.. Pendletor
advocated the views known distinc
lively as the Calhoun doctrine O
State rights, and State sovereignty.

position in public life, having been a
member of the Legislature of New

was also one of the contractors who

his part in which be claimed never to
have received his full pay; and to this

The Oolors for Women to Combine

The art of dressing well but mex
pensively, depends more upon the
coIors and their combinations than
upon the kinds and quality of cloth-
ing, or even the fashion. Every la
dy should study well the following
colors:
What colors, it may be asked, 90
best together? Green with violet (;
gold with dark crimson or lilac; pale
blue with scarlet; pink with black or
white and gray with scarlet or
pink. A cold color generally requir
es warm tint to give life to it,
Gray and pale blue for instance, do
not combine well, both being cold
colors. White and black are safe to
wear but the latter is not favorable
to dark or pale compilations. Pink
is. to some skins, the most becoming ;
not, howec CIR, if there is much color in
the checks or lips, and if there be
even suspicion Of red in either hair
or complexion. Peach color, is per,
haps the most elegant color worn
Maize is very becoming, particularly
to persons with dark hair and eyes.
But whatever the culors or material
OF the dress, the details are all in all;
the lace round the bosom and sleeves,
the fipwers-in fact, all that furnish.
es the dress. 1t trimmed with black
lace, some OF the same should be
worn on the head; the flowers viii ID
are worn in the hair should decorate
the dress.-AH the Year Round.

Eagle Point Ferry---New Route to be
opened from Lancaster to Du buque

Mr.. Banfill, an old resident OF
Grant county, where be has large
mining and real estate interests, ar.
rived in town last evening, to confer
with a committee from the Eagle
Point Ferry company, in regard to
matters in which both are interest
ed. For Twenty-Five years he has
been citizen of Grant county, por-
ton of the time at Lancaster. but
more recently at Potosi. He is now
engaged upon the attempt to open
road from Lancaster, va Potosi, to
Dubuque. From Dubuque to Potosi
is fifteen miles from Potosi to Lan-
caster, ten miles. Citizens of that
section can reach Dubuque only by
very rough and round about way
Mr.. Banfill asserts that if a road were
completed connecting this region
with Dubuque, our city would soon
become the market for its citizens.

comparison of prices shows that Du-
buque can afford to SELL or at least i
selling, nearly all kinds of goods
cheaper than Boscobel; and the citi-
zens, not only of Lancaster and Po-
tosi. but of the country between
there and Dubuque, are waking up to
an appreciation of the benefit that
would acrne to them could the Du-
huque market be made accessible
Very much work on this line has al
ready been done by Mr.. Banfin at

rest. q bridge across Platte river,
near It's mouth.
The Eagle Point Ferry company
have been pushing their project in an
unpretentious way. The rocked
steamer Lansing" has been raised
and brought to Dubuque, and is now
in the slough undergoing repairs, pre-
paratory to being used by the compa-
ny as ferry boat. She will prob
ably be named "The Eagle" though
this has not yet been decided. Nor
has the company yet decided where
on the estern shore of the Mississip-
pi they will establish their landing.
Mr.. Banfill, together with Judge
King, Matthias Ham, and perhaps
others, will occupy the day to-day
examining the most feasible route
whereby the above mentioned
road from Lancaster to Potosi can be
brought to the eastern shore of the
river; and this point may affect the
yet undecided question as to the To-
cality of the eastern ferry landing
