A PNEUMATIC Tunr 400 M,,r.Ioxo

A PNEUMATIC TUBE 400 MILES LONG,
Few persons in this country were aware, we
are sure, that pneumatic tube is working
between Glasgow and London, but the fol-
lowing letter from Glasgow to Boston gen.
tleman shows that there is one:
had occasion TO send telegram to LON
don the other day, and in a few minutes re-
ceived reply which led me to suppose that
serious error had been committed by nv
agents, involving many thousand pounds. /
Immediately went to the telegraph office and
asked to see my message. The clerk said,
I'VE can't show it to you, as we have sent it
to London" "But," 1 replied, "you must
have my original paper here; wish to see
that" He again said, "No, we have not got
it, it is in the post-ofice at London" "W6at
do you mean ?" asked. "Pray, let me see
the paper l left here half an hour AGO.
"Well," said he, 'if you must see it, we will
get it back in few minutes, but it is now in
London" He rang bell, and in FIVE min
utes or so produced my message, rolled up in
pasteboard. 1t seems that for some months
there has existed pneumatic telegraph be-
twixt Glasgow and London and betwixt Lon
don and other principal cities of the king
dom, which consists Of an iron tube, into
which the messages are thrown and sent to
their destination. 1 inquired ii might see
message sent. "Oh yes; come round here.n
He slipped number of messages into the
pasteboard scroll, popped it into the tube and
made signal. Iput my ear to the tube and
heard slight rumbling noise for seventeen sec
onds, when a bell rang beside me, Indicating
the scroll mad arrived at the general post-of,
flee, four hundred miles off ! 1t almost took
my breath away to think of it. II could on
ly go to Boston with the same relative speed,
you might count on my spending an
evening every week at No. 124 Beacon
street, and returning home to sleep. Who
knows but that we may be convened
in this marvellous manner before MANY
years? Perhaps you are aware that
there has been large tube between the gen.
eral post-otfice in London aud the Station in
Eustce square in operation for a number of
years. The mail bags for the north are ali
sent by this conveyance, so that the post-office
receives letters up to few minutes before the
train leaves, three miles off. The transit takes
less than two seconds! Surely this is an age
Of wonders.

AS an instance of the confidence of the
people who are paying for this road, we
relate what the town of Highgate done the
other day Some persons at Highgate
Falls who here dissatisfied with the loca-
ton, called town meeting. The first ar
ticle in the warning was to see if the town
would vote to rescnd all previous votes
in regard to bonding; I'd, in case they
did not vote to rescind, to see what they
would do. The first article was dismissed
by unanimous vote, land then the meeting
voted to instruct their seectmen to issue
the bonds just as fast as called for by the
Company, with only four or five votes in
opposition. The people of Highgate will
not "look back" on anything but completed
work, and this is the sentiment Of the peo-
pie all along the line.
The "bondi1g question:" has lately been
before the Supreme Court in Caledonia
Co., and after full argument by able coun-
sci on both sides, the Court emphatically
decided that bonding was constitutional,
The case was the town Of Danville Us. the
Montpelier & St. Johnsbury r. Il. Co.,
on an injunction restraining said town from
issuing bonds to aid in the construction Of
said road The Court sustained the in
junction solely on the ground that the Go.
had not fulfilled its part Of the contract,
for having changed the location SO as to !
leave No. DanvilIe "out in the cold"
The directors of that Company, having
over $12, 100000 to the mile still left, !
(which soon will doubtless be augmented
by private subscriptions, will push forward
the work just the same. The Company
save in cost of construction, by going on
he new route, about as much as the boudo
amounted to, SO it is not "hurt much by |
lhe decision.

tude; and in defending his country against
deadlier foe, the demon of intemperance,
he deserves more gratitude and 0e do
tender him our sincere thanks for the two
lucid and pointed addresses he has just
favored us with.
ReSolced, That we will heartily second

The European War.

The great drama about Paris approach
es its denouement. The. Pfusslans are
gradually strengthening theireordon about
the city, and its fate sedms to be inevlta-
bic. We hear from French sources a
great deal of "last ditch" talk, but we
cannot see that there is any hope that
French army can be raised to cope with
the veterans who have marched victori-
ously to the capital.
The Prussians are in force on the north,
south and west of the city, and their great
runs are nearly in position. The hom-
bardments likely to commence at any mo-
ment, and it will not be delayed beyond
next week.
From the positions held by the Prus-
slams solid shot and shell can be sent at
will into some of the finest quarters Of
the city. The elegant buildings which
have made modern Paris so celebrated
the world over are liable to be demolished
almost as thoroughly as the old rookcrieS
which they took the place Of under the
plans of Baron Haussman.
Gen. Trochu has large army within
the walls, but the PrusSians have no I'M
peral city exposed to the fire Of his can
non.
Meanwhile Bismarck protests that the
Prussians do not mean to reduce France
to a second rate power, and that he does
not consider republicanism in France dam
gerous to Prussia. What will he say af.
ter Paris has yielded like Strasburg, to
the Prussian army,
1t would take almost miracle now TO
turn the tide of war against Prussia, -
though Paris may for some time withstand
a determined siege, and a nation of forty
must have great resource yet to
develop.
The cloud in the East grows slowly. III
Russia is rot preparing to sweep down
upon Turkey the movement of Russian
troops is inexplicable. 1t is more evident
than it was week ago that Russia and
Prussia unt erstand each ether and Tur-
key is preparing for events which are
within the range Of probability. The
treaty of Paris, which followed the Cri- |
mean war, forbds the restoration Of Scbas
topol to Russia and the maintenance Of a
Laval force in the Black Sea-
Russia feels that treaty us a stigma up

chance to spread itself, for new street
has been opened from Mlll St., sometimes
called "Pollowog St.,') running east Il
mile and coming into the Perkinsvllle
road below Lcland's starch-lactefy. This
gives room for so building lots with four
rods frontage. The street is to be four
rods wide. The job for building the
bridge and grazing the road has been let
for s525. Mr. Hill, the principal owner
of the land, gets 5000 for building the
fence, which is all the land damage asked.
