THE TUNNEL AT THE SUMMIT OF THE ST.
EZRA NEVADA The great tunnel of the Cen.
tral Pacific railroad is completed This is the
last the longest, and by far the most costly of
the excavations along the line of this road 1t
is one thousand six hundred and sixty feet in
length, and was begun at the east portal on the
10th of September last anG the work upon it
has therefore occupied about year. The ma
terial, which had to be drilled and blasted, was
grant of the hardest grain. As but limited
surface could be presented to the workmen, ad-
vantage was taken of der ression in the centre
and working shaft of one hundred and 6fty-
nine feet was sunk SO as to present four working
faces The average rate of progress with pow
der was about one foot per day to each face, or
from twenty to thirty feet per week 10 all
In March last the company accepted the Ser
vices of an experiment in nitro-glycerine, which
article was manufactured on the spot, wherever
it could be used with advantage, and the aver
age was increased to nearly fifty feet per week
The workmen, principally Chinameu, labored
in three gangs for eight hours each, and proved
very serviceable in this kind of work. At times
the consumption of powder reached four hum
dred kegs per day. Work was continued
through one of the severest winters ever known
at an elevation of over seven thousand feet above
the ocean, or three times higher than the Ale
ghanies or the Catskills.

TOUCHING INCIDENT.-We recently heard q
remarkable and touching story of little boy,
the son of gentleman in an adjoining county.
His age is twelve or thirteen. He is an Interest,"
ing, promising lad. Oue day during the past
winter, he failed to rise in the morning as early
as usual .-..
At length his father went into the room where
he lay and asked him why be did not get up
for daylight.
His father retired, but the boy did not make
his appearance for some time.
"My son, why don't you get up"
He replied:
"Father, is it Daylight"
"Yes, long ago"
"Tken, father" the little fellow said, "I sm
blind"
And SO it was; his sight was gone.
In short time, his father took him to Nash.
vile to get the benefit of the medical profession
there, but the physicians could do nothing for
him, and happily made no experiments on his
eyes. Some ladies n family of his fathers
acquaintance sought to cheer him in his affiic-
ton, and one night proposed to take him to the
opera, that he might hear the music and singing.
He went and was delighted
In the course of the performance, all at once
he leaped up and threw his arms around his
fathers neck, and screamed with ecstacy:
ooh, father | can see II can see y
His sight had instantly returned, and since
then he has retained his full vigor, except that
under excitement there is somestimes O transient
dimDess of vision.
The case is one of remarkable and singular
character.-7ennesSeeP Paper.

Somebody has given utteraDce to the following
scrap Of philosophy, which il it be not good is at
least cool: "The poor mans purse may be
empty, but he has as much gold in the sunset
and silver in the moon as anybody" Ga .''

'Supposing all the trails worn this summer at
the fashionable watering places cut of even with
the ankles. how many poor children would they
clothe? How mush would women rise in the
estimation of men 2" An innocent exchange re-
marks: Suppose your aunt was your uncle.

"GUEss KNOW A THING or Two.s

"My dear boy" said father to his only SON,
"you are in bad company. The lads with
whom you associate indulge bad habits. They
drink, smoke, swear, play cards and visit thea.
tres. They are not safe companions for you. L
beg you to quit their society,"" ~
"You needn't be afraid of me, father" re-
piled the boy, laughing; 81 guess l know a
thing or two. l know how far to 60 and when
to stop" @irI
The lad left his fathers house twirling his
cane in his fingers, and laughing at the sold
mans notions" Zs a.'a
A few years later, and that lad, grown TO
manhood, stood at the bar of court before
jury which had just brought in a verdict Of
guilty against him for some crime in which he
had been concerned. Before he was sentenced
he addressed the court, and said among other
things:
"My downward course began in disobedienee
to my parents. l thought knew as much OF
the world as my father did, and spurned his
advice. But as soon as l turned my back on
my home, temptations CAME upon me like
drove of hyenas, and hurried nae to ruin"
Mark that confession, ye boys who are be-
ginning to be wiser than your parentsl Mark
it, and learn that disobedience is the FIRST step
in the road to ruin Don't take it.
