A Tunnel Under Broadway.

1t may not be universally known that
Broadway is being bored-that is, below
ground. The existence of so many bores on
the surface of that boulevard is perhaps
good reason for the subt8rranean operations
of the Pneumatic Dispatch Company, who
have thus far dispatched their business so Sc.
cretly as to avoid detection, even by the de
-tectives It is rumored about, however, that
the miners in the employ of the company
have been busily at work disemboweling our
tavorite promenade, and that Moses Beach
hired the cellar beneath Devin's store, at the
corner of Warren street, for the purpose of
introducing these identical beres. The earth
is not dug out, but pressed away by shield,
which latter is exactly the diameter Of the
tunnel The shield is forced ahead by mea ms
of a number of screws on the rear of the
shield, worked by levers, the displaced earth
exuding through trap doors in the shield
The progress made is necessarily slow, about
ten inches per day completed. Bricklayers
follow in the rear of the shield and line the
tunnel with hard brick, which of course pre-
ents the earth from caving in. The section
being now worked will terminate at the Post
Office, and fthe plan succeeds the company
will introduce branches to every part OF the
city.-Neeo York Commercial Advertiser.

THE SECRET OF THE ALIsMA's SUCCESS Ex-
PLANNED. The hair is secreted by little
yesicle or gland, and each gland is nourished
and supported by minute blood-vessel, and
as long as these blood vesselscarry q sufficient
quantity of nourishmelt to these glands, the
hair will grow but if, from disease Or any
other cause, these vessels become obstrueted
or torpid, so much so as not to carry to these
glands sufficient quantity ofblood to nour-
ish and sustain them, the hair will become
dry and fall off. The reproduction of the hair
therefore, depends upon the restoration of
these small blood vessels to their primitive
and unobstructed circulation. which indica
ton the Alisma performs 1t is absolutely
necessary, before new hair can be produced
to stimulate the scalp by the application of
the Alisma, which excites the blood-vessels
to an increased healthy action. Remember,
it requires time for if the hair were to start
as soon as the tonic was applied, it would
probably be five or six weeks before it would
makeits appearance through the skin.

The Kenosha Dramatic Association

After q series of rather Indifferent bills,
gave us standard play on Tuesday evening,
playing Bulwer's popular comedy of "Mon-
ey." We deem it pleasure to notice more
particularly, and if INDUCED, in more criti-
cal manner the respective merits of the char
acters and cast of this, with some exec ptions,
the best dramatic performance ever given in
Kenosha by any company.
Mr.. A. s. Edwards, in the prime role of Al
fred E0e1yn, looked and acted the part of the
rejected and sorrow stricken lover, and again
of the rich, accepted and happy one, to per
fiction There was an absence of that smirk-
ing, sickening over acting, characteristics so
often seen in actors taking the lovers part.
He was well sustained by Miss Nellie Boyd,
of Chicago. who assumed the character of
Clara Douglas in manner to bring that part
out to first-class grade, in comparison with
the others. Miss Boyd is very modest and
lady like actress, and we believe is much adj
mired as such by our citizens
Mr.. G. w. MAXWELL received enthusiastic
applause as the poor, sorrowing, inconsolable
O widower, GrG0es. His makeup was excel
lent, and his acting such as to mark him. at
once, superior in the dramatic art.
Mr.. and Mrs. Townsend sustained their
parts in their usual unexceptionable manner,
the former as Sir John VeSey the latter as
Lady Franklin
Mrs. Healey also sustained her part admi-
rably, representing the petted and spoiled
child, Geor. gina.
Mr.. Charles Quarles made his debut in the
character of SIR Frederick B1ount, the exquis.
te dandy,fop and ladies' man the character
was somewhat aptly chosen, at all events
Charley seemed perfectly al home, and gave
q very good rendering of it.
Our brother typo, Mr.. Ed. Richmond, per-
sonated Lord Glossnsore-a very, weakly, con-
sumptive lord, if we may judge by his faint.
almost inaudible voice. We think the author
at fault in giving so stout and robust lord
so weak voice.
The characters were all well chosen, and
to the end of the third act the play may be
pronounced success, after which it assumed
more the character of pantomime. owing to
a doubt in the mind of q portion of the parties
engaged as to the real value of the text, and
a consequent uncertainty in its application.
1t is impossible to suppose that one can look
Or act ve1g pretty, in state Of mental misery,
caused by q sudden stand still of all con-
cerned in the play. All should be perfect, at
least as to the words of the author, before at
tempting play of this kind. We think ii
money" were to be repeated, it could not
fail to draw full house. We suggest, however,
that it was in bad taste to add farce after
SO long play. Both actors and audience
were weary whenthe curtain dropped at the
end of the fifth act, and it would have been
more satisfactory Cor all parties, fhad the af.
ter piece been lett off of the bill, and the tim i.
thus gained devoted to the preparation oil
the leading play. LOCAL.
