The Proposed Tunneling of Dover
Straits-Prospeets that the Wosk will
soon be Coumenced--Its Chances for
Success.
The project of tunneling ulnde the
British Channel, and thus connecting
the country of the Gaul with that OF
the Briton, has emerged from the pos
sible, and seems to be entering the
boundaries of probability. The bed OF
the Straits Of Dover, biologists say, is
composed of gray chalk, which can be
cut through very easily. When this
tunnel was first mooted, it's practicable
ity was doubted, under the idea that the
bed of the channel was of rock forma-
ton, and could not be penetrated ex-
cept at q ruinOus expenditure OF money.
Ten years were the minimum period fixed
for making single tunnel, but now 1t
is estimated that two tunnels could be
got in running order in about foury years,
and a similar reduction has been made
in the estimated cost, which was origin
ally placed at ten millions of pounds
sterling. Reports from the other side
of the Atlantic affirm that the French
government is about granting the con
cessiOn to company already formed to
a company already formed to carry out
the magnificent design. The practical
bility of tunneling under rivers las
been thoroughly proved, and between
scooping out hole half a mile and one
twenty miles is simply a question of
money and time. The dis
lance calculated by miles between the
two shores of the channel seems a great
drawback, but, to compute by time,
this is considerably lessened. The
journey could be easily accomplished
in half an hour and under, ard all the
disagreeables OF the charmed passage
avoided, which have prevented thou
sands of people making the journey to
aud from the continent.
There can be little doubt concerning
the practicability of tunneling the Do
yer straits, and, as it could hardly fail
of becoming a paying investment, its
realization may be considered mere
question of time.

Harvest i'm the Hill Country.
BY MILE W. CARPENTER.

The dew lies heavy on the uncut grass,
And drips in bright drops from the bending grain,
And from the vines, through which the reape"s pass
With trampEng feet along the cool, wet lane
The amaranth lifts its faint sweet flush again
Some Indian crosses flourish in the hedge;
The poison-sumach lets It's shame be seen
In scarlet letters, where the woods brown edge
Is frightened with the hemlock's tender green.
These late red currants glow like ruby beads
In clusters tempting to the robins taste:
The yellow mustard its fine brown seeds
Along the sod in excess of waste.
Meanwhile, the reapers 70 their work make haste,
And through the pasture, where the red-oak stands
The Brawl goes whipping mid the grass and ferns,
Where the tired feldboy laves his sun burnt hands,
Or in the shade line of Homer learns.
Here thou and I, o friend of earlier days.
May sit and listen while the reapers sing:
About our feet the cardinal flowers blaze,
And honey-bees go by ON shining wing.
Out of listening music seems TO spring;
And, floating softly on the clear sunshine,
These sweet and alien voices in the corn
Recall old tunes that echoed by the Rhine,
And jodels heard upon the Matterhorn.
Not much like these dear friend were those first days
OF freedom, when the wide world seemed our own,
When we went wandering long, hewildering ways,
From Gruth meadow to the Bots Boulogne.
Now all that sad, sweet folly is outgrown:
! Our work is done Not much-was il for those
Who were strong, who much to do,
| Who felt so brave to right whole worlds woes,
! And tear the mask of VAN conceit in two.
| The reapers sing; the saddeped hours creep on;
The grain is gGrnere5. sweet and clean and dry
The long, straight Fun-shSfts flicker faint and wan,
| And primrose cl uds slip down the western sky,
/ We talk of common things-the corn, the rye:
| You stand bewixt the sunlight, dear, and me,
| With shaded eyes "a peusive, New-Word RUTH,
| And oh, your face grows beautiful to see,
Crossed with these memories Of our vanisDef
youth.

ST Louis, Oct 28.-The Republican
has an account of the riotous proceed
ings OF gang Of desperadoes, which
occurred last Friday, at Gibson, the
terminus Of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad, in the Indian Territory.
The rioters, a body of villains known
as Timber Jackey. Pony Bill and Keno
Bill, having got drunk, rode through
the town firing revolyers at random.
They wounded several persons, and in
undated the people to such an extent
than stores We're closed and business
suspended. Finally, they attempted to
destroy the property in Keys & Broth
ers' store, when they were met by a
posse Of citizens, who ordered
them to desist, and upon their
refusing were fired upon by the posse
Timber Jack was wounded in the face
and lungs; one of the posse wounded
Keno Bill surrendered and the rest of
the gang fled. The citizens were deter
mined to hang Keno Bill, but finally
yielded TO better counsel, and finally
sGnt him out of town, threatening
to kill him, il he ever returned. Next
day Z. S. Marshall Johnson, of Fort
Smith, Ark, pursued Keno Bill, cap
Tired him at Fort Scott, Kansas, and
took him and Timber Jack to Van Blu
rem, Ark. where they were turned over
10 the I. $. authorities.

Marrying FOR Honey.

Marrying for money in the expecta
ton OF soon becoming rich widow or
wldower is a very uncertain specula-
ton. A California correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune gives an account
OF gentleman, formerly in the Spanish
army, who long ago married a widow
lady 81 years of age, who was possess
ed Of great riches, with a consumptive
tendency aud no membranes. She
was much older than the BRIDEGROOM,
but her prospects for an extended lease
OF life were very poor, and the merce-
nary husband congratulated himself on
the probability of speedily coming into
full md undivided possession of her
fortune. But, alas for the uncertainty
of human hopes that indomitable
woman, with a consumptive tendency,
IN defiance of all laws of probability,
continued to live on until 81 more wears
had expired, and has only recently de-
parted at the ripe old age of Ia.

4 Canadian Sentenced to Death for At
tempting TO Person His Wife.
rom the Quebec Mercury, Oct. 10.


Justice Casault, on Tuesday last, at
Rimouski, sentenced Hubert Banville
to be hanged for attempting to poison
his wife. The crime was brought to
light by the wife's sister, who was at
tending her during her illness. The
poison, obtained from the doctor to
-" kill rats, was administered by the
prisoner IN her food regularly during
two weeks, and was then only acci-
dentally discovered by the sister drink
ing cup Of tea in which the poisoner
had put some arsenic, when she imme
diately called out 81 am poisoned +"
This led to an investigation, the arrest,
and eventually the conviction of the
condemned man. Fortunately the wife
has escaped, but the crime is none the
less heinous, and deserving of the ex-
IRENE sentence.

A living DEATH.-m some few sad
lives there comes moment when the
shadow of death passes over the soul,
and does not touch the body. After
that we walk along our appointed path
through the worl,,, and laugh and talk,
and buy and sell, and marry and are
given in marriage, may be, and none of
our friends who hold our hands and
wish us God-speed on our way, mag
inc, when they look into our eyes, that
we are dead, that there is no more
Light in the evening sky, nor freshness
in the morning dew; that in our hearts
is neither hope nor fear, regret, re-
membrance nor delight only so much
of the red heart throb as keeps up the
show of life for other needs than our
own-only cold dull patience in place
of living soul.

A PAPER of Professor Stafford, read
before the British Scientific Association
lately, proposes to ascertain the dis
tances of the fixed stars by a new me-
thod He finds that the solar motion
with which our sun is revolving around
centre somewhere in the Pleiades,
and which it is facetiously said that,
being the suns sun, he must be il
grand sun, has a velocity six times as
great as the earth in its orbit As a
base for the calculation of the distance
of the fixed stars, he considers the sol
ar better than the orbital motion. He
has observed for this purpose many
groups of fixed stars, his general theory
being that those stars which under OBJ
seryation show the greatest motion are
probably the nearest to us; and he re-
CARDS this as better method than that
of Herschel, which estimated the prox-
unity of the stars by their apparent
magnitude-a method which is not JUS
titled by known facts.

Another Singular Religious Sect.

It is said that in Nafflin, Juniata and
Snyder counties, in Pennsylvania, are
large number OF singular sect called
Omish. These people somewhat re
semhle the Dunkers in their religious
belief but their customs include many
peculiarities characteristic of them
selves alone. They exceed the Quakers
IN their efforts to attain simplicity of
dress. The men hasten their attire with
hooks and eyes, and look upon buttons
as an abomination in lie sight of
the godly. The Omish girls wear a
blue cotton dress, the waist OF which
comes just below the armpits, and their
heads are covered by close fitting white
skull caps, which give their faces a
CHASTITY appearance. They have no
poor. Scotfers say it is because when
one OF their number becomes poor they
turn him out OF the society; but that

thrifty but charitable, never refusing to
entertain stranger without money and
without price. They forswear all

The San Francisco Alta says that
when the Committee in that city to So
lclt contributions from the Chinese
merchants for the relief of the Chicago
sufferers made known the object of
their visit, the response was a credit TO
the representatives of that race who
have been treated with indignity on so
many occasions, and are liable at any
time to be assaulted when passing
through the streets. m one case an
intelligent merchant said to the col
lectors: Me leadee in Alta Mclean

Noble Work Dome in Milwaukee.

Nothing illustrates the noble charac-
ter Of people like their efforts to re-
ieve the sut1erings of their fellow men.
The character Of the benevOlence of
orr citizens is illustrated fully in their
self-sacriticing and continued labors in
behalf OF the sufferers from our recent
devastating fires. Milwaukee was
earliest in the field in getting supplies
into the burning city of Chicago, and
she did it in enormous quantities, and
with an energy that showed her VIII.
Our citizens, men and women, are at
work, every day getting together
supplies, sorting them, and sending
them Off to various points. Hundreds
are thus employed every day. Supplies
from abroad are here overhauled, and
sorted and separated that the right
things may go to the right places. This
labor is enormous. We are finding out
wants everywhere by thorough can
vass, and supplying them with all pos
sible dispatch. And for the raising Of
money, We are far from being behind.
La obedience to the expressed wish of
our citizens and resolution adopted
by the Relief Committee, the Common
Council have levied tax OF ftiy MOuS-
and dollars, to be expended through
the city officers and the Relief Commit
tee, for sufferers by the recent fires. =
And our citizens have also contributed
by careful estimates, about fifty thous-
and dollars more. And when con-
sidered that the losses from the recent
fires, upon the people of our own city,
are eStlmated at two millions of dollars.

A NEW ALLOW of conner and iron h

A NEW alloy of copper and iron has
been invented which is regarded as a
discovery of much practical impor-
lance. The blending of the two met
ais produces a substance of great
strength, which, it is said, can be tenn
pered to greater h ardness than steel,
and when soft is easily worked. 1t is
claimed that this alloy can be used with
great advantage for many purposes,
especially for such srticles as the shoes
and dies of stamp mills, for which use,
on account OF its toughness and
temper, it will considerably outlast
those made of chilled iron, besides
being just as cheap originally. One
Of the most important advantages
claimed for this new alloy is that it is
not liable to oxidation on exposure to
the atmosphere But the principle OBJ
ject of this invention is to make per-
fectly malleable metal which can be
tempered to the utmost hardness, and
which, being cheaper than fine steel,
can be substituted for it in many i'm
portant applications for which the lat
ter is now rarely employed. The tests
to which the new alloy has been sub
mitted, show It's peculiar adaptation
for the purposes i'll question.
