E PEEP INTO THE FUTURE.

The following extract from a letter re-
ceived by one of our friends says the Boston
Transcript describes the operation of a
pneumatic tube between Glasgow aud Lon
don. Probably few Of our readers are aware
of the existence of the process by which
messages and packages are almost instan-
taueously transmitted between these two
cities.
IL had occasion to send telegram to
London The ether day, and in few minutes
received sepy which led me to suppose
that serious error had been committed by
my agents, involving many thousand pounds.
Immediately went to the telegraph office
and asked to sea my message The clei k
said, we can't show i, to vou as we have
sent it to London.' 'Bol,' replied, you
must have my original paper bere; wish to
see that lie again sad, No, we have not
got it; 1t is in The post office at London
What do you mean p asked. Pray, let
me see the paper left here halt an hour
ago We'll said he, If you must see it, we
will ge, it back in few minutes, but it is
uow'in L2odon.' lie rang bell, and in
FIVE minutes or so produced my message
lo led up in pasteboard.
at seems that for soms months there has
existed pneumatic telegraph betwxt GIas-
gov and London, aud betwjxt London and
the other prircipal cities of the kingdom,
which consists Of an iron tube, into which
the messages are hrown and sent 10 their
destination. inquired II might see mes.
sage sent. Oh, yes; come round here. lie
slipped number of messages into the past
board scroll, popped into the tube, and made
a signal. put my ear to tbs tube, aud
heard slight rusnhling noise for seventeen
seconds, when a bell rang beside me, pdi-
eating that the scroll had arrived at the
General Postoffice, four hundred miles off !
1t almost took my breath away TO think of
it. II could only go to Boston with the
same relative speed, you might count on my
passing an evening every week at l24 Bea-
con street, and returning home to sleep
Who knows bit we may be conveyed in
this marvellous manner before many years
Perhaps YOU are aware that there has
been large tube between the General Post
office n London and the station in Eustace
square in operation for a number Of years
The mail bags for the north are all sent by
this conveyance, so that the pnstofiice re-
ceves letters up 10 few minutes before the
train leaves, three miles off. The transit
takes lees than two seconds Surely, this
is an age Of wonders

A Beautiful Love Story.

famous tor her beauty, Shortly after the
happy day was appointed which was to rem

pened that his beautiful afianced bad the
smallpox, and lowering between life aud
death, she recovered, but found her beauty
hopelessly lost. The disease had assumed
in her cas- the most virulent character, and
left her not only dIsfgured but scanned and
SCARED to such frightlul extent that she
became bdeous to herself, and resolved to
pass the remainder Of her days in strict Sc
cusion. A year passed away, when one
day the Count, Immediately upon bis return
to France, presented himself at the residence
Of bis berotbed and solicited and interview
This was naturally refused. He, however
with he persstency Of lover, pressed his
suit, and finally the lady made ber appear

THE FATE OF A FIGHTING DOG.
BY SIN PELr0U.

A. man, he owned terrier dorg-
A bob-tacd, onery cuss,
And that there purp got that there man
In many an ugly muss;
For the man he was on his musse,
And the dorg he was on his bite,
So to kick that dorg goned animile
Was sure to raise fight.
Il woman, she owned Thomas cat,
That ft at iftcen POUND;
And other cats got up and slid
When that there cat was round.
The man and his dorg came along one day,
Where the woman she did dwell,
And the purp he growed ferociously,
Then went for the cat like hell.
He tried for to chaw the neck of the cat,
But the cat, he wouldn't be chswed,
So be lit on the back OF that there dorg
And bit ! and clawed and clawed !
Oh the hair it few and the purp he youled
AS the claws went into his hide,
And chunks Of flesh were peeled from his back;
Then he fummuxed, and kicked and died
The man, he ripped, aud cussed. and swore,
AS he gathered big brickbat
That he would be burned essentially
II he didn't kill that eat
But the woman allowed she'd be BILE ssed if he did
And snatched up an old shotgun,
Which she fired, and peppcred his diaphragm
With bird shot number one.
They toted him home on window blind,
find The doctor cured him up;
But he never WAS known to fight again,
Or to own another purp.
Folks may turn up their snoots at this rhyme,
don't care 4 cuss for that
All wanted to show is, that fighting dorgs
May tackle the wtohS Tom cat.

Meeting Of the Irish Emigrant Aid Society
In ChicagO-Speecbes by Dillon O'Isrien
and James w. sheahnn-The ssIrish Rot.
ting in New York;,

from the chicago Post June "a
A meeting OF the Irish Emigrant AID Society was
held last evening, in the rooms of the Union Catho.
nc Library Association. The char was occupied by
Charles Mcdonnell, who called upon Mr.. Dillon
O'Brien 10 address the meeting
Mr. OBRIEN said that in common with those inter.
ested IN their movement he felt sorry that no imme-
Louis IL was feared that this long inaction might
deter others from doing anything TO further the
movement. His visit to the East was to explain to
his countrymen there the cause Of the delay, and
keep the public interest alive in the question.
The editor OF paper In New York had said
g him, "The irish are rotting here.n In the
physical world Stagnation meant corruption, and
applied 10 immigration II meant the same thing.
ANY plan that would bring immigrants out upon the
land and away from overcr0wded tenement houses
would do more good than all the reformatory and
benevolent institutions OF New York. The 81. Louis
plan in aid Of immigration nom Ireland was not
deemed practical at the East Then the organization
OF joint stock company Tor the purchase OF lands
was favored, said company 10 distribute them at
reasonable prices 10 Irssh Immigrants reservlng to
themselves certain sections lor town lots which they
could sell to investors at the full market price. The
most cheering fact he had learned during his visit
to the Eastern cities was that the Irish population OF
New York was now interested IN the movement and
were applying to the society there Tor Information
were to have such organizations and Chicago should
have one. The speaker detailed the plan for the
b ppy. organization anu spoke o. IT'S sn''fs isA'''
Mr. JAMES ". saEAHAN said the st. Louis Con-
ventton decided not TO 60 into the land business be-
cause OF the jealousy OF The irish people who would
think they were specuating for their own benefit.
They wished simply TO assist immigrants the moment
they landed on OIL shores with money TO help them
West, but they did not want 10 go into the land bust
ness. He was surprised that IN New York, where
there were rich lrshmen. they would not lift the
rotng poverty out OF the dust at their feet without
being paid for it. An Irlshman leaving his native
land knew nothing OF the geography or America.
The German. on the contrary, had IN his hands before
he left home ticket for the very quarter section he
Intended to buy II New Workers would not give q
dollar to help the poor Irsamen out from their
midst let them suffer in their degradation and the
West would do the best IT could without them
Mr.. O'BRIEN stated that he knew Mr.. Sheahan
would do nothing to injure the irish immigrants but
he would remind him that all these agencies for aid
ing Scandinavian Immigrants were on business
basis The failure OF the philanthropic plan was
shown by the fact that not twenty were present
at this meeting to discuss the subject
The meeting then adjourned until Sunday after
noon
