PRoPuETIC DECLARATIoN.-W When John
Knox, the Scottish reiormer, was very old and
infrm, and his constitution was falling fast,
and his voice was very feeble, lie still kept
preaching in small church.
When he heard OF the massacree of the Pro-
testants. In 1872, at Paris, when upward of 10,
900 were murdered by Charles TX, he was al.
most overwhelmed In grief lie introduced
this event into one of his discourses, with the
following prophetic purport, viz: "Sentence is
denounced in Scotland against that murderer,
the King of France. Gods vengeance will
never depart from HIM, nor his house, but his
name will remain an execration to postcrity
and none shall come of his loins, to enjoy that
kingdom in peace and ,quietness, unless re-
pentance prevent Gods judgment"
This declaration may be considered rcmarka a.
bic. History has proved the fulfillment of this
prophecy. The Bourbons have been driven
from every throne in Europe by popular broils
and comm0tion.
From the popular tumults in Paris, the
Bonapartc dynasty is tottering on the throne
of that turbulent and restless people of France

CAPTAIN CHARLES BRYANT, special agent
of the Treasury Department, appointed for the
purpose, has made an elaborate report on the
resources of Alaska, detailing the result of bis
personal examination of large portions of the
territory, including all the principal islands
He describes minutely its characteristics and
resources, giving prominence especially to the
forests and fisheries, which, lie thinks, may be
made the basis of profitable business. He rep
resents that the natives possess a capacity for
labor that will make them, under the direction
of II more intelligent race, valuable auxillia-
ry in clearing the forests and in aiding in all
other departments of service incidental to life
in new country. For the proper preserva-
tion of the seals and the protection of the in
habitants engaged in killing them he recon-
mends that the seal trade be given 10 one re-
sponsible company, which shall be allowed to
purchase no more than 10000 skins annually,
paying tax t. the Government, and bound to
furnish supplies TO the natives at reasonable
fixed prices.

IMPRISONED IN A BolLER.-A
somewhat extraordinary and very
alarming accident occurred recently
at the steam printing Office of
MessrS. Norman, at Cheltenham,
Canada. The engine boiler is a
powerful Cornish one, Of TuXtord's
make, there being two fire holds in
parallel tubes passing through the
middle Of the cylinder. At the time
OF the accident the boiler was being
cleaned, and two persons. a man
and Il boy, were at work inside of
it, the man being in the further
end of the cylinder and the boy just
inside the man.holc.

the two tubes, and, losing nerve,
his struggles to cXtiicate himself
only forced his leg further in until
1t became jammed above the knee
joint. An effort to pull him out
was resisted 10y the lad, and very
soon his leg began to swell, so as to
make It's removal increasingly
difficult. His body being fixed in
the aperture Of the man hole
almost excluded the air from the
man ut the end Of the boiler, and
tnlngs were looking serious before

only space for one man to work.
The instrument used is pick with

night and day, the miners working

The highest skill of the engineer
is called into requisition to direct
the tunnel in its proper course.
The exact mathematical precision
necessary may be better appreciated
whel we state that in the Spring
the crib will be placed in position,
the outer shaft sunk, and the work
of eXcavating the tunnel will be car

The engineer estimates that two
years from the 1st Of January, 1870,
will be necessary to complete this
stupendous work. Two hundred

two million brick laid.
