some queer times and rough customers on

"Thc deuce they are p responded Mis-

still polite clerk.
Putting his hand to the back of his
neck, the passenger pulled out tcn-inch
bowie-knife, and driving it quivering into
the counter, said:

and thar's my ticket / want wun of them

Before the steel had ceased to vibrate,
the prompt clerk quietly thrust loaded
and capped six-shootor under Pixies nose

The tunnel under the Straits of Dover.
It is announced, has been reported against
by the commission of French and English
engineers to whom the subject was refer
red. The construction of the tunnel
through the gray chalk is reported to be
feasible, but the cost would amount to $50,
OO0, ,0OO without taking into consideration
unforeseen difficulties. 1t is estimated that
twenty thousand passengers day, at
a fare of 81 %, or an annual revenue of
W, 9,l25, 600, would be required to pay the
interest on the sum mentioned. 1t is not
anticipated that so large passenger traffic
could be obtained, and unless the English
and French governments would pay part
Of the expense it would be hopeless task
to attempt to raise the capital required.

The WORCESTERSHIRE Empire.

At last we have it, The publishers have
cent us a No. of The Imperialist, 4 weekly paper
mailing from New York city, whose mission it
is 10 establish upon the ruins of our republic
an empire of grandeur and glory.
We are quite ready to acknowledge that the
republic founded by our fathers is in ruins.
There is hardly vestige of the magnificent
temple to be seen. We are as sadly conscious
rs any one else cau possibly be that there is
no republic existing on this continent
ut this time, except in name, but we
must add that we are not sure that
one could exist. Certainly there can be
nothing but sham republicanism where
one senator may represent two millions Of
people, and one member Of the House not less
than one hundred and fifty thousand. There
is no sort Of personal responsibility to any
known constituency resting upon the public
servant. There can be nothing but sham re-
publicanism in the management of the de.
partments ut Washington. A thousand men
from all parts Of the country call upon the
President every day. He cannot be seen alone,
or, II SO, but for a minute or two at a time.
Similar is the case in each of the executive
departments There is, therefore, no sense of
responsibility to anybody resting upon the
the contrary, he and each one of his Cabinet
no doubt consider that they have done any
man infinite honor whom they consent to see
for ten minutes and he and each one of them
no doubt have all the feelings Of personal i'm
portance and hauteur which lead men TO
think themselves worthy OF being kings Mi
nority representation may bring back TO us
our lost rights. We say nothing rs TO that,
not knowing whether 1t will ever be allowed.
But as TO imperialism, it comes not with 4
flourish of trumpets. 1t grows up like a tree
and the fruit Of imperialism comes even upon
u tree which was planted 4 republic, because
the grating process changes the nature Of the
fruit entirely, and the original stock goes for
nothing, The tree OF liberty which was
planted by our patriotic fathers and watered
with their blood [see fourth Of July Grafton 5
delivered before the late warl has had grated
upon il whatever OF imperialism results from
eight years despotic sway Of an unlimited
central government. Whether the fruit can
be such as ought TO grow on q b" tree of lib
berry," we need not say For ourselves, we do
not expect to gather figs of thsties. Those
who do not know the difference between
the governmental tree as originally planted
ana the tree as II now stands may expect
"hal they Will. But the newspapers will
never succeed in establishing an empire. The
empire will establish itself, or rather make
1tseii known, when the proper time comes. 1t
needs no heralds. II can take care of itself
IL never comes until 1T is wanted II will
come ao"e' II Is waited AS well advocate the
next earthquake.
Inc l".per'attst is handsome paper. It'll.
wen printed, upon luxurious paper. and
editeo win intelligence and as much zeal n, is
becoming In an imperial journal.

THE NATURAL ADVANTAGES OF VIRGINIA.

THE NATURAL ADVANTAGES OF VIRGINIA.
The New York Herald says
"No other State in the Union has such q
variety of surface, of climate and of pro-
duets. Tobacco, sweet and white potatoes,
wheat and other grain. the fig and the olive of
the Promised Land, which lies in the same IL.
titude and is shoue upon by the same skies that
the patriarchs of the Bible were wont TO gaze
at-inexhaustible mineral wealth, COAL avail
able water power, and increasing facilities OF
transportation and communication, are among
the Inducements that invite the emiSraut TO
Virginia"
That reference TO the Promised Land was
stolen from Commodore MAURY; but no mat
ter. The Herald has spoken only the truth.
Whoever desires TO dwell in 4 State which is
better than any other, north or south OF it
which has mild winters and pleasant sum-
mers-which has none Of the tornadoes of tro-
pical regions, and none of the terrible whrl-
winds which sweep over the western prairies /;
whose soil produces whatever is good for man
and beast, and whose hills and valleys are all
vocal with the music of flowing waters !;
whose mountains abound in mineral springs
and health giving fountains and, above ali,
whose rural inhabitants are hospitable, whole
souled, and possessed of almost every virtue
that ennobles human nature-can find in Nir-
ginia just what he wants.
