| A proposition Is on foot to start
the gigantic undertaking OF running
3 tunnel under the Atlantic ocean. in
oruer to connect the old and new
world together BY means of A suh.
marine railway. The most eminent
engineers, both in America and In
Europe. have been consulted, and
they have drawn mp an account which
Is perfectly feasible, and only re-
qulres time and meney to carry out.
while The capital. although stupen.
dous, will be forthcoming. So far as
calculated approximately, Il will re-
quire iive hundred millions English
pounds, or s25,0O0,0OO. PLENTY OF
capitalists are ready to eugage in this
marvellous undertaking, and as soon
as the plans are arranged, the money
will be advanced. The proposed
plans themselves are the wonder OF
this skillful age OF engineering sci.
ence. Torelate them in detail would
oe simply impossible at present, but
few of the leading points may be
glanced ut in order to give the reader
an insight into the wonderful results
arleady arrived at. This undertake
ing will occupy one hundred thou.
sand men-half at each end at the
terminus-and supposing the obsta.
cles to be of such nature as is ex.
pected, it will take full thirty years
to accomplish the work
When completed, 1t will take six
Gays Tor ordinary trains to travel be-
tween both points, and three for the
express mails. The system to be
adopted for tunneling will be of the
latest improvements in drilling rocks,
the advance of the drillers being fol-
lowed by shields of various dimen-
sions OF strong cast iron, and each
succeeding one being firmer than the
last. Powerful steam engines will
push forward these shields as the
boring advances, until at last the
largest and most perfect tube will be
placed with rails properly fixed for
operation. 1t is proposed to light
the cars with magnesium lig hts, while
powerful engines will drive air
through the tunnel, inducing free
circulation, the supply being regu-
lated BY various contrivances at GER
tain distances. The electric light
will be used at intervals on the track.
Depots will not be required, as there
will be no stoppages. The point of
union, both in America and Europe,
is in course of debate. 1t ia gener-
ally concluded that the shortest route
will be the cable one, viz: between
Newfoundland and Ireland The
soundings already taken 10 lay the
cable telegraph are of the greatest
use, and have enabled the operators
to lay out their map of the bed of the
Atlantic. The wire will be laid
through the tunnel, and experiments
are In progress to connect the CON-
munication between the running cars
and the fixed telegraph, by which
means immediate information can be
sent to either continent by the pas.
sengers while travelling. Thus,
while pillows roll above, and the
monsters of the deep are sparring or
lighting, as the case may be, men,
women and children will he rapidly
rolling underneath; and, after brief
trip, will find themselves at the
shores of other nations, without the
danger, fatigue and sickness OF
long and dangerous sea voyage.

For the Gallipolis journal.
CHRISTMAS.

Tonight there is ioy in many home,
For the merry time of Christmas has come;
1t has brought its treasures of gin and song
For those who've waited its coming so long.
There are lights burning brightly in the hall
There are stockings hung by the chimney wall
There are shouts Of laughter frem voices sweet
And the ceaseless patter Of little feet.
There are children around the Christmas Tree:
Their eyes grow bright as its treasures they see
There are gifts of Love for the Young and old
There are books and toys and jewels of gold.
There are presents found that were hid from
Which were wrought in the quiet hours OF
Or in secret places were stored away,
That no ono should lind them till Christmas day
o, Christmas It's season of joy,
To the hoary man and the fair haired boy;
lis time OF pleasure, of song. and mirth.
For the weary, toilwOrn children Of earth.
lis time of rest from the cares of life.
From its hustle and turmoil din and strife;
Then sickness and sorrow forget their pain,
And the hearts of the old grow young again
Then welcome, thrice welcome be Christmas tide
May its joyous cheer with rs still abide
Till He who brought the first Christmas to men
In the clouds Of Heaven shall come again.

The inland passage from Puget's
Sound to the Hudson Bay Company's
trading post, Port Simpson, a dis
tance of five hundred miles, is intri
cate and dangerous for sailing ves-
sells, there being but few good an
chorages; yet it is resorted to by ex-
perienced pilots, to avoid the gales OF
the ocean.
