nationally and prohtably, wherever the topo-
graphy of the country allows it, great district
or main tunnels, which serve as highways
under the mountains, must be constructed"
The projected tunnel which reach the Com
stock lode after traversing distance of about
10000 feet, and will cut this lode at perpen-
dicular depth of about 200O feet. In order
to expedite the work four shafts will be sunk
on the tunnel route, from the bottom OF
which, at the proper depth of the tunnel
level, drifts will be extended in each direction.
Five hundred millions of dollars (says
Captain Sutro) is a low estimate OF the
amount of silver contained in this mountain;
and, without the tunnel, it must forever re-
main in the bowels of the earth, for the ex-
penses of its extraction, under the present
system, would be greater than its value. 1t
is not in our power, of course, to verify or
justify this estimate. We must say, however,
that if the miners of Nevada, who are cogni-
Zant of the scientific and engineering facts
on which these deductions are based, should
show enough faith and interest in them to
take hold of the work of constructing the
great tunnel, we should be very well pleased
Let them invest according to their ability; let
them display half the energy in carrying out
the scheme that Mr.. Sutro has shown for four
years in urging it, and we venture to say
that, if there be any prospect of success, capt.
talists will not be slow in coming to their as
SiStance.

emily. The lottery managers only returned
$135,O00 to the Treasury last year. Either
they defrauded the Government. or their
business must be very small; and, as we know
the latter suppositon cannot be maintained,
we are driven to adopt the former. The Gov
ernment in certain measure compromises
itself for $135,000 a year. The State has
tried to suppress an offense from which the
administration condescends to receive profit.
Is this worthy of us Congress ought either
to make the tax on lotteries so enormous as
to be virtually prohibition, or abstain from
taxing them altogether The credulous and
the weak-minded ought to have no excuse left
for supposing that gambling schemes are
vouched for by the Governments

tics which show these facts that we need not
now reca pitulate them. Mr.. Low states that
the British Government commenced to pay
subsidies to ocean mail steamers in 1887; but
the export commerce of the kingdom
remained unaffected until 1843, the
first year after the commencement of
the free trade system; when, from AZ
millions of pounds Cat about which figure
they had long remained stationary, 1.-The ex-
ports rose in ten years to 974 millions, in ten
years more to 1903 millions, and in the next
five years to 1870 millions. There was no
free trade in shipping until 1850, and, not
withstanding that the subsidies had then con-
tinued for thirteen years, the amount of Bri-
tish tonnage employed in the foreign trade
was only about 81 millions; in 1850 the navi-
cation laws we're repealed, and the tonnage in
the foreign trade is now above 229 mil
lions The payment of subsidies had
little to do with all this Git is not the
subsidized lines which carry on this great
traffic) its growth is due, and wholly due, to
the wisdom of that policy which has made
England the workshop of the world, and
which makes her the free market for the sale
of the productions of every other country.
Mr. Low, at the conclusion of his paper,
INDUCES in a vision of what will happen
''when our legislators cease to be mere poll
ticians and learn to be statesmen" We
Join in his hope; but it will never be
realized by the prosecution OF the policy
which he points out, and which, at the
best, will only give an unwholesome and
exotic existence to that which, under q
wiser policy, would need no nursing Give
us free trade as fast as possible-in ships,
in ships materials, and merchandise; and
give us once more sound currency upon
a specie basis, and American commerce will
regain all its former supremacy. But if we
are put off with palliatives and make
shifts, like the one for which Mr.. Low
pleads so well, the day when 'the mortifca-
ton of the present hour will give place to a
pride like that of our fathers will be as dis
tant as ever.

stem contained twenty or Thrill fully fully

From the Toledo Commercial, April 22d. 1869 !:
''The Automatic Clothes Washer. The

This is entirely new plan, giving Insurers
the largest return ever made by any Company in
the same period.
The Company give credit when desired, of from
33 to SO per cent. of premiums.
An illustration of the advantages of the credit
system practiced by this Company, is the case
of FL. C. Coe of Yonkers, who insured his life in
this Company for $1,000, in February, 1857, pay
ing the whole premium in cash, Sis at the end
of the first year it impossible for him to raise
the amount of the premium then due, in cash and
he came to the office prepared to surrender the
policy. Being told that he could give his note
for the premium. did so. His death occurred
in less than seven months. His family are now
in the enjoyment of the amount insured. Had
he insured in call cash. Company, they would
have been left unprovided for.
This is, in itself, complete refutation of the
absurd statement of call cash. Companies, that
it is injurious for the insurer to have the power
give note under any circumstances.

neighborhood of Nashville, now within the

placed her among the wealtliest institutions
of the nation and secured her permanent
prosperity. She was created independent of
Church or State, but has in her long and
successful career benefited both. Her avOw-
cd mission was to elevate the lowly, give
strength to the feeble and to polish the
strong and vigorous. While her Faculties
have had to rely mainly upon fees for sup
port, none of them turned away from an
ambitious young man because he was poor,
but, On the contrary, always gave him the
hand Ofkindnes and encouragement, making
the fame OF his after years add Iustre to her
renowu.
The grades of her various departments
are familiar with the high positions through
out the Southern country. Her medical de-
partment alone has had between four and
five thousand young men in her classes,
having enjoyed, to an uneXampled extent,
the confidence of the profession in the for
mer s'ave-holding States. This department
is in better condition to deserve well of the
public than ever, having greatly increased
the means of illustration and also the facil-
tiles tor studying clinical medicine and sur
gerry.
