The foreign journals just received re-
port that the total expenses OF the
Mount Gents Tunnel have amounted to
SO, ,000, 900, of which 4, ,000, 900 are to be
contributed by the Victor Emmanuel
railway, or Railway or Northern Italy.
This sum was to be paid before the
opening of the tunnel. 1t is reported
that the French Government agreed to
pay s, 800, 900 if the work was accom-
pIished in 1882, with the premium of
500, 600 for every years gained upon
the stipulated time.s AS the tunnel has
been completed eleven years before
1882, France, it is contended, is bound
to pay 81, 100000, besides the original
contract price. France, it is also argued,
viii have to pay five per cent. interest
on the instalments of money due as the
work proceeded. Under these circum-
stances, the charges borne by the King
dom of Italy, it is believed, will not
amount to 8, ,000, 900; and thereduction
in expense, it is contended, has been
fairly gained by her diligence in carry
ing on the work. At one time, the
hard quartz which the excavators en-
countered rendered it extremely diff
cult to ascertain what the progress of
the work might be, but, fortunately,
this stratum was only 1247 feet thick,
and no serious resistance was
encountered elsewhere. The ma
sonry of the tunnel, is stated, is excell-
ent throughout, and no inconvenience
whatever, from smoke, steam or meph-
tic air, apprehnded.

A little girl six years old was on a
visit to her grandfather, who was a
New England divine. "Only think,
grandpa, what Uncle Robert. says. u
"What does he say, my dear?n "Why,
he says the moon is made out of green
cheese. 1t isn't at all, is it?" "Well,
child suppose you find out for yourself" +"
'sHow can I, grandpa?" "Get your
Bible, and see what it says" "Where
shall begin?'' 'sBegin at the begin
ming" The child sat down to read the
Bible. When She had read about hall
through the second chapter of Gensis,
she came back to her grandfather, her
eyes all bright with excitement of dis
covery. "I've found it, grandpa! 1t
isn't true; for God made the moon be-
fore he made any COWS.

A New rendering Of an Old Text.

n 4sON ASCAAACAAAA{s VI an tJtu IGAIs
,Spendinga winterss invalids at Aiken,
s nth Carolina, the Hon. Thurlow Weed
and Mr.. Thos. e, Acton whiied away
one Sabbath afternoon by attending a
negro church, and were accompanied by
Mr.. John A. Kennedy, lwho was on q
visit of few days to Mr.. Acton. When
tbeS~ entered the primitive temple the
prea6her, who was a pure African, was
grappliHg with all the feryor of his race
with the old, old subject of the fall of
man. Stretching that day in the Gard
en- with its terrible results, he excoriat-
ed Mr.. Adam in this fashion:
Now, brederen, when de Lord calls
Adam 10 count did he STAN up like a
man, confess his sin and ask forgiveness?
He didn't do muffin of de sort, brederen,
but he say:
'"Lord, de woman dat Dou gubest me
CUB me for to eat.sp
Pausing moment he repeated:
'"De woman dat Dou gubest me CUB
me for to eat"
Then again:
"'De woman dat DoU gubest me CUB
me for to est.'
DfDar, brederen, you see dat mean,
skulkin' Adam was a tryin' to sneak
out of it by frowin' all de blame on de
Lord hisselfl"
This new idea of an old question was
too much for the distinguished "vhite
trash" who had fortunately taken seats
near the door, and they retired into the
fields to indulge in irreverent laughter.

from his house Pittsfeld, Mass, with
another woman short time ago, got
tired of his prize after spending all his

termed very serious complaint:
Another man. ne said, .shad up
braided him that he was not married to
his own wife. whom he accused of being
no better than she should be, and called
her many bad names besides, which he
should be ashamed to mention to his
honor.n

you any proof that you are legally
married?n
Soldier-Faith, your honor I have
the best proof in the worId.u Here he
took off his hat, or rather cap, exhibited
a cut skull, saying. docs your honor
think I'd be after taking that same
abuse from any body but a wife?p
