The DOVER TUNNEL.-Reports from Europe
state that the French government is about
granting charter to a company formed for the
purpose OF excavating tunnel under the Strait
OF Dover, and thus connecting Great Britain
and France by means of a railway. This pro
1ect was started several years ago, but its prac-
ucability was doubted, under the impressiOn
that the tunnel would have to be blasted through
the solid rock, requiring an immense expendi-
ture of money. 1t is now, however Confidently
asserted by biologists that the bed of the Strait
OF Dover is composed of gray chalk, which can
he easily bored through. Under the view thai
the bed was composed of hard rock, il was
estimated that the tunnel would cost
fifty millions of dollars and would tsjke ten wears
IN It's construction. Under the theory that the
bed Of the British Channel between Dover and
Calair is formed of chalk, it has been calculated
that two tunnels can be completed i'm four wears
at cost of twenty millions. The passage Of the
BRITISH Channel in the ordinary small steam
boats is so excessively disagreeable in stormy
weather that many persons are deferred from
crossing. Should the Straits of Dover be TIM
neled there Is no doubt that the number of tray-
elers passing under the bed of the British Chan
rel Would De very great, particularly as the
.'me or the journey from Dover to Calais wouId
be shortened to thirty minutes stay in a rail
way car.

Indigestion or Dyspepsia,

Is a weakness or want of power Of the digestive

drink into healthy matter for the nouriEhnent

thing that tends to weaken the body, and more
particularly the stomach. Nearly, II Lot quite

proceed from 1t. Indigestion produces great

ODD NAMES

Aristocfatic aspirations sometimes NAV
queer tricks with proper names. Such al.
tera'iouS as Tsyleure aud Taylor for Tailor
are only remarkable for their feeble vanity,
and the origin is easily recognized under the
thin disguise; but what does the reader say
TO 'he family name of Homer? Would he
not naturally suppose il to be connected in
some way with literature, poetry, or ancient
Greece? Nothing of the sort. Homer is
euphonic and euphonistic for--Hogmire. 1t
is also curious ~ being one Of many cases
in which the apparently obvioas deprivation
of a name is not the real ore. Thus, Bacon,
(beechtree) lie no relation to Hogg Goodwin
(patron) implies spending moneY rather
than making it; Bethel lap Ethel), son of
Etheil has nothing TO do with Hebrew or
Scripture nor has Baokus bake house,
with the Jolly god, nor Poindexter (spur,ed,
hard RIDER with the right hand. (By the
way, We wonder if Bonner drives Dexter on
the of-side when he puts him in double har
ness y The apparently chivAlrous and bel
ligerent TAilefer and TAlleyrand are only
equivalents Of Smith aud Cooper The
combinations ofthe Christian and surname
ottea modihes the meaning of the latter very
seriously. In one Of our Southern cities
there was Italian shop-keeper callee
Aoroso but his Christian name was Alberto
so that when the initial was pre6xed, h,
appeared on his sign as Amoroso. Seals
coats OF arms, and various REFUSES hav,
been made on this principle. American

Mercury or Calomel

Ii the great remedy that physicians appeal to
and use almost entirely in all diseases of the
Liver. There are thousands at the present time
that are suffering with the rheumstic p ins Ia
the joints, caused By the use of CAlomel which
has created disease of its own worse than thst
which 1t was Intended TO cure. There is no
drug that leaves its mark more prominent in
the system. Yet, perhaps. there are times when
it can be given, and have a benifcial effect, hut
lhould not be dealt out as 1t has BEEN and 10 at
the present time, by those that pretend to know
what they are duing, but in reality do not. The
Liver is more liable 10 disease than any other
organ in the human system, and wheB that fails
TO do its duty it leaves the weak points of the
body exposed, as the bile is not thrown of. but
taken up by the blood, as it passes through this
great filter of the system. and becomes impure.
Then follows . train of diseases, whose name is
Legion. There are many that IGffer from pain
in the side and acEoss ths body, dull, heavy,
drowsy feeling, headache, pain in the right side,
often severe pain in the bowels, costiveLsts, Fat
uence diari hea, more or less Ind dgestion, loss Of
appetite, sallow skin, white of the eyes yellow,
sinking of As-h, depression of spirits, ct other
times a great craving for food. Some Of these
symptoms caused only by torpidity Of the
Liver. Itis impossible TO give all the symptoms
Of derangsd Liver, and they are all cureshle
without the aid of Calomel.
