The famous tunnel under the Thames
was made 40 years ago, in spite of in
Vulnerable difficulties, and at overwhelm-
ing expense. Chalks and gravel are SO
penetrable to water that it is almost i'm
possible to tunnel through them, and the
attempt, though successful, has hitherto
been warning rather than an encour-
agement to succeeding engineers. The
careful geological survey of this region
has proved that little higher up is bed
of the impervious London clay, through
which no water would percolate. p. III.
Barlow projected a tunnel through this
clay, aud it was begun the 26th Of April,
and on the Sth of October the passage
under the River was safely effected.
The entire cost will be under 500 900,
and its position-half a mile farther up
than the old tunnel, and nearer the Tow
or and London Bridge-will make it very
valuable. The passage will be made by
an omnibus, drawn by stationary en-
sine, and lifts on either side will take
the passengers up and down.

George has enough children to fll one

herself at his feet. "Your Highness,"
said she, sone of your soldiers has bought

"Why don't you pay her ?" demanded
Mehemet Ali of the soldier

nothing"

woman.

ssAnd you as well ?" said he to the
soldier.
ayes, swear it"
aVery WE'LL" said the Pacha Then
turning to his guard, he added, with per-
feet composure, "Take this man and open
his stomach"
The Paeha's order was obeyed, and the
milk was found. The soldier had just
drank it.
aThe woman is right" said Mehemet
Ali, remounting her horse, '.let her have
the six paras that are due her." And
he continued his journey.

AFTER THE RAILRoADERS.-Th fol-
lowing, which we clip from the New
York Tribune of March 7th, contains
stateme ents of great importance to rail-
road travellers, provided the ground taken
is tenable
''SilHer palace cars" are very comfort
able-superior in many respects to the
old style passenger cars but the effort
to introduce them on the railroads of the
country at the expense of the public and
In violation of law, is trick upon trav-
elers which will defeat itself We are
glad I'd see that the Legislature proposes
to stop this peculiar swindle at its incep-
tion. These cars are built and run at
private expense by private individuals !;
and the road managers are thus saved
not only the cost of building and main
tanning passenger trains, but are actually
paid for the use of their rails It is
therefore to the interest of railroad COM
panies to introduce as many "silver pal
ace cars" as possible on their roads; and
IN order to force passengers to use them
they keep their old cars in the worst pos
sible condition of repair and comfort.
They are, in many cases, mere rattle
traps, cold, cherries and dangerous. The
charge for riding in "silvcr palace cars"
is illegal the proprietors know it, and
when passenger refuses to pay for the
privilege, they take good care not to turn
him out.

THE LATE Mr.. BURLINGAME.-The
Eran,mer's Washington correspondent
indulges in the following singular sur
misses in regard to the death of the Chi
nese Ambassador
There is a wild suspicion whispered
about in diplomatic and civil circles that
the sudden death of the Hon. Anson
Burlingame was not unanticipated. In
fact, as far back as last summer, when
it was announced that the Chinese EN-
bassay would proceed to Russia, certain
welLknown minister predicted that Mr..
Burlingame would never leave St. Peters
burg alive. The key of these suspicious
lies in the fact that there has been
misconceptioh in regard to the effect of
Mr.. Burlingame's treaties on behalf of
China. 1t was thought by Americans
that the struggle for mercantile suprens-
acy in China lay with England, while, in,
fact, Russia was really the power that
the United States had to compete with,
so far as the great Eastern traffic is con-
cerned. Mr.. Burlingame being an Amer
lean and naturally expected to favor his
own country, was looked upon with sus-
picion by the Russian Government, which
power has been for years silently but
actively extending its control over the
Indies and China. Mr. Charles Went
worth Dixie, the English member of
Parliament, who recently made an cx-
tendedtour throughout the world wherever
the English language was spoken, and
has published his observations in an IN
teresting book, called ''Greater Britain,
exposes the specious and insidious growth
of Russian power which has invaded
Persia, China, and threatens the ladies.
It is asserted here that Mr.. Burlingamc
was an obstacle to the coveted power and
progress of Russia, and that, in true
Muscovite style, as demonstrated by his
tory, he has been disposed of by subtle
poisoning, or otherwise. The parties
who make these assertions claim to know
whereof they speak, and do not hesitate
TO charge that a certain prominent man
connected with the Committee on For
eign Relations has been for years in the
pay of the Russian Empire. 1t is also
charged that Secretary Fish, through
r.Sumner's influence, retains in place
q minister to Turkey, who is known to
be distastcful and hostile to the country
near whose courts he resides, and who is
also IN Russian pay. Your correspondent
gives these rumors and statements for
what they are worth +; but it is just to
say they come from high authority. The
death of Mr.. Burlingame is certainly
looked upon here by the cognoscenh as
the removal of great obstacle to the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the Russian Empire,
whose advances of late on the China
frontier seriously threaten both English
and American influence in China.

SAMBo's SoULIN DANGER. We have
already shown by statistics that the
attendance of the colored population
in the South at church had shown an
alarming decrease since the war. A
correspondent in Virginia, formerly q
slave owner, endeavors to explain the
cause for this. Before the war, Sam.
bo, by the proceeds Of bis labor, con
tributed to the support of religious
communities, and churches We'd with
each other in efforts to save bis soul
in other words, caring for his religi
GUS and moral training. Since the
war Sambo inds that instead of pay.
ing for religions culture in labor, he
has to pay for it in cash and as that
is the case he prefers paying it to
preachers of his own color, or, as il
happens in too many instances, not
TO pay anything at all. Hence it is
that he is growing careless and indif-
ferent about religious matters, and un-
less something be soon done by his
Northern friends and sympathizers to
rescue him, there is danger that he
will eventually relapse into his origi.
nal condition of barburism aud Won.
dooism. Here is an opportunity for
some OF the self sacrificing, strong
minded school-marms, and Others
philanthropically inclined in New
England, to lend hand to save the
