BRIDGING THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.-M.
Boutet, French engineer, has designed a
bridge TO cross tho English Channel and
connect France with England. According
to the design the bridge ia to be OF suffi.
Client width to carry double line of railway
carriage road, path on each side for foot
passengers, and beyond the roads and paths
place for houses and shops. The super
structure of the bridge is to ret on thirty
two piers, each ui which is to 200 metres In
height and 100 metres In breadth. The piers
are to be furnished with signal lights, SO thai
they will act as beacons to slipping, and
thus prevent "fouling." The point selected
on the French shore to locate that end of
the bridge is Cape Blanc Nez, and on tho
English side the Shakespeare Cliff. Tie
depth of the channel between these two
points is found to be not more than from 30
to 80 metres, so that thu roadway of the
bridge would be abort 170 metres above the
level OF the sea. The cost OF the bridge is
estimated at 400, 100000 francs, and NJ Bou.
tet proposes to form company with that
amount OF capital to carry out the project.

THE ARIEL.-The steamer Ariel has been
doing some splendid running lately. A few
days ago she made the trip between Phla-
delphia and this city in about two hours,
including her usual stops ut Chester and
Hook, This is good running, especially
when it is considered that an immense num-
ber Of passengers was on board. The off
GERS and employees seem 10 take especial
delight in keeping everything on the boat in
the best possible working condition, and our
citizens observing this patronize her liber-
ally, Capt. Johnson is Il cool, prudent,
genIlemanly officer, and may be seen at all
times giving personal attention to the COM
fort of passengers, during the trips.

The KENT COUNTY MuRDER.-We learn
that thus far no arrests have been made OF the
gang OF outlaws who murdered VIM. Evans,
near Leipsic, last week. 1t appears that
Evans was innocent of the crime which serv-
ed as pretext for taking the lie of an unol-
Tending man. Subsequently facts have been
brought to light which are sufficient 10 leave
little room to doubt that the incendiary was
II coored girl IN the employ of Mr.. Collins,
and she has been arrested and committed to
jail. We trust the State authorities will not
permit this tiendish act to he smothered up
and the guilty authors TO go unpunished., No
matterwho they are, high or low, rich or poor,
they should be made TO answer at the bar
OF public justice. The majesty of the law
must be vindlcaled, and we call upon the
Governor TO offer large reward for their
apprehension. Let the good citizens OF
Kent unite in an earnest effort TO secure this
result. They know not how soon this same
lawless band may wreak their vengeance on
some of them; and seli-preservation, natures
first law, demands that the crime he punished
in such manner as will break up the wicked
combination and deter others from interler-
ing with the due course of law.

From great mass of aflldavits taken for

point blank at the hatchhole, and he
loaded in ole Wade, feet fust, and made
Forney fetch hit off. By golly, he went
whizzen thru the hole, and hit raned whis-
ky on the lake ontil it burnt blue. Next
he grabbed ole Thad. Sez he, tremblin,
"Please, your Majesty, lode her in with
me-" pintin to she niger strung on a
chain. Sez the Devil, "No, sir, I think we
can manage her arter you are gone, and be.
sides she look like she needed little rest. "
Bang an I jest cotch glimpse ov Thad's
crooked foot scrapin splinter off the hatch.
Comm mex, he yoked Sumner, and he beg
ged to be loaded he'd fust, as he sed he'd
always travelled sturn furst thru life, an he
wanted to finish his jerny the same way on
account of his record. So sturn fust he
come outen the hatch hole, and l recon
sturn fust he busted again sumthin away
yonder on the outside. Buffers, surnamed
the Beast, turn cum next. While the Dew
il wur loadin him in, observed him busy
butnin up his pockets; When the mortar
fred was watchin the hatch hole clost {;
dident like the idea ov his leavin, but
burned eff he went thar, he follored the line
of his cock eye, and busted inter million
pieces agin the wall. Spoons an breast
pins fell foot deep all over the lake, an |
hearn the wimmin all cheer. The Devil
then licked his lips, an went for Wendell,
but he jest loped overheard and dove, and
to save his life, the Devil couldn't find him.
He'll raise trouble thar yet, see if he don't.
Mex he grabbed Forney, his steersman, an
sez he, ''you don't steer to suit me" on he
commenced loadin him in, and don't you
believe, Just as the cusses he'd wer goin out
ov site, he whispered in the Devils ear that
I was Jamison, the acter. The Devil re-
marked, GIVE got nothin agin Jamison; ;
you is the one" made at NE by golly jest
becase he seed the Beast outsmarted him in
the spoon biziness. s.. ,
Thar will be peace in hell for short
while, if the Devil can ketch Wendell, and
reconstruct the burned raskil. I recon he
will ketch him for he set all the revenu de-
tectives arter him, an I tell you, George,
hell is full ov the mean cusses, an more
comm. Ole smutty reached for me last
one, and put me down his gun. I sat into
beggin hard. Sez he, ''you mus go, the
prosperity of my kingdom demands that
nuthin havin the smell ov radikil on to his
close kin stay here"
