The tunnel under the Enolisb cbanro,

The tunnel under the English Channel
at Dover, it is asserted, will have to be
bored through a chalk formation, and
though the actual perforation will be easy
yet the pressure of the sea upon the yield
ing rock will be immense. In building
the Thames Tunnel the water burst
drought thereof several times, and Brun-
ell, the engineer, nearly lost his life during
one of these eruptions Of the river In
the event Of violent storm the danger of
a break would be imminent and the
workmen, having to run several miles to
obtain refuge, would have but poor OPP
portunity to escape. The difficulty OF
ventilatIng such tunnel must prove to
be very great. But, Notwithstanding
these serious objections, three eminent
English engineers have pronounced the
plan to be feasible. and the estimated
cost, $45,000,000 to be reasonable.

FREE School. FOR WOMEN free
school for learning women to telegraph
has been established in New York under
the auspicies of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. The New York Tribune
says
This is the first attempt we believe,
to furnish women with any systematic
training for pursuit for which expert
ence proves that they possess peculiar
qualifications. We anticipate from it the
most fortunate results, and are confident
that the Western Union Line will be am
plv paid for thesshare they have taken in
this philanthropic movement.

Matt. Fl. Carpenter and Fe--
male Suffrage.

Matt H. Carpenter in recent letter
has fully committed himself in favor OF
suffrage for all, without distinction of
birth place, race, rank, color, or SEE
There are many who will regard with ex-
treme distrust, this advanced step on the
suffrage question. 1t is no al IL surprlS-
ing, that honest intelligent and we'll IN
tentioned people, should believe that the
world is moving too fast in some dTec-
tions. The extension Of the right OF sui
trage has always been attended with
doubts and mistrust by well meaning
men, Within the memory of many now
living, the right to vote was only given
to the owner of freehold estate of the
value of not less than two hundred and
fifty dollars. When it was proposed to
extend the elective franchise, to non real
estate owners, with certain limitations, it
was regarded as hazardous and attended
with great danger to the government
The right of foreigners to vote, was once
limited to a five years residence; 1t was
liberalized to one year, under strong pro
test, but the Republic. still lives And
when at last, it became apparent that suf-
frago would be conferred upon negroes,
multitudes were intensely alarmed for the
safety of country. Well, negroes vote
and the wheels of our Republican istitu
lions, move on as usual, without percep-
. tibly detriment. And now comes the
proposition to extend suffrage, to one half
of our population hitherto denied the
right, yet who are as refined, moral and
conscientious, and who have as great In
tere8ts at,stake, as have the male voters
of the land Many years may elapse be-
fore the elective franchise, shall be con-
ferred upon the women of our country, but
whoever notes well the progress Of events
will comprehend that the reaching OF
that result is inevitable. 1t is one of the
coming events in our American history,
which may be regarded as manifest des-
tiny"

CHARACTERIZATION or THE WoRLD.-At
the annual concert of prayer for foreign
MISSIONS held in Park Street Church, the
prominent talk was the possibility OF
evangelizing the whole world in the
course of the present century. A contrast
was instituted between the state of things
at the commencement Of this century, and
what now exists in relation to Christianity
and the conclusion was reached, that with
the present facilities for doing the
great work Of evangelizing the world, a
four-fold increase of men and means
would be sufficient to secure the triumph
Christianity over the entire world. That
is, 1T was considered possible to bring
every Pagan and anti-Christian nation
in the world under the perYading infu-
ence of Christianity in thirty years; pro
vided the increase Of men and means was
four-fold what are now employed, and the
rate of improvement which has marked
the first two-thirds of the century should
continue during the last third of the cen
tury.-Bost0n Tr0ell6r.

THE AUDACIY OF CRIME IN NEW YORK
The assassins and robbers are becoming
so daring II New Y ork that all the Jour

Der. The Sun declares that this carnival
of crime can only be stopped by the most
immediate and severe punishment In
the extremity Of its fear it declares that
if murderer is arrested on Monday he
should be indicted the same day, tried on
Tuesday, and hung on Wednesday. This
would be Turkish justice. The World OF
the 1st inst, gives the following extraor-
binary robberies daring as any ever
committed:
ION Saturday evening, just after dark,
citizen, seated in his counting room. on
Coenties slip, was sliced by robbers, who
entered suddenly, threatened him with
death, and took all the money he had
about his person. Last evening at about
the same time, o'clock in the evening, a
man, Mr. Morley, was in his room on
Broadway, the chief thoroughfare of the
city, when his door, which was locked,
was opened probably with false keys, by
three men, who bound him hand foot
gagged him and took from his person sew

the jewelry he wore"

JANIS IN INDIA-The Jail system of
India is an honor to humanity, and to the
country which spends SO much money up
on them. When Lord Macaulay was sent
out to compile criminal code for India,
one of his first acts was to write Minute
on the necessity of prison reform. That
was in 1885. In 1886 committee, COM
posed of the ablest men in India, pro-
nounced the jails of India superior in
many respects to those of England and
America, especially in the separation of
debtors from criminals, in the Classification
Of the sexes, tried and untried persons, and
in the supply of all needful comforts. In
1864, Sir John Lawrence appointed com
mittee to suggest especial means for re-
ducing jail mortality. An order went
forth that every convict in India should
have 648 cubic feet of space. large sums
of money have been spent on Jail build
ings, and nearly a million dollars is to be
spent this year Every Jail in Bengal is

Mount Vernon.

There is something sad in the history
of Mount Vernon, the home of the 1mmor-
tai Washington. In spite of all patriotic
effort in years past, to preserve the noble
old mansion standing on the banks of the
Potomac, and to prevent its falling into
decay, it seems in danger of going to ut
ter ruin. The American people have on
several occasions been appealed to, and
have responded to the appeal for centri-
buting funds, to put the buildings on the
Mount Vernon estate in such condition, as
to guard them against the destructive
march of time = But strange enough, the
liberal contributions for this purpose,
have thus far failed to accomplish the de-
sired object.
CDR Prime, Of the New York Observer
gives in that paper an account of visit
which he recently made to Mount Vernon
showing that the home of Washington IS
going rapidly to ruin Everything about
and within the house indicates neglect,
Indifference, improvidence, and decay.
Desolation, not by violence--for, In all the
long years of civil war we have passed
through, not AZ unfriendly hand has been
laid upon this sacred spot-but desolation by
utter abandonment to the elements, with
out even an attempt to keep things up and
in order and repair, reigns supreme. I'm
agine an old manor house, on plantation
where an army of servants eat the master
