@The Southeastern Railway of En-
gland has asked ? Parliament for the right
to combine with the Northern Railway
of France, with assistance from the
Governments of France and England,
to Improve the communication between
England and the Continent. The pro-
posed improvement will lnvove an un-
der-water passage across the Channel.
The plan Of construction now proposed
is altogether new. A builder has just
finished several first class" houses in
London, all made of concrete from attic
to eeilar-hoorings, water-tanks, baleo-
MES, doorsteps and area pavement
This hitherto neglected building mate-
rial, impervious alike to fire and, water,
may be used with economy and success.
il is thought, for the tunnel. The plan
seems exceedingly simple, and COM
mends itself as practicable. In many
Notifications, harbors and other public
works. in France. England and the Uni
ted States, concrete has been used as
the least destructible of all materials
where the violence of ocean waves and
the never ceasing trituration of water is
to be eontended with. Subject to the
lashing of the waves, in the most expos
ed situations-as at Eddystone-where
granite would have been loosened and
fallen to pieces. it remains as firm IS
the rock on which it rests. Where an
iron tunnel, no matter how secured, or
with what care attended to, would be
injured by rust and become dilapidated
by time, concrete will be increased by
firmness and hardness year by year.
The materials for its construction are
the cheapest possible, sand and stones
in abundance being found on seashore,
while Portland cement, the only 9TH
er ingredient of concrete, can be obtain
ed at little more than the cost of ex-
cavation. We have in this country very
large deposits Of cement materials, mix
ed by nature and ready for use in the
manufacture of concrete. and the result
of the experiments now making or pros
posedil England will be Of much inter-
est to Us.

LET THE BEARD GRow There are
more solid inducements for wearing the

Of such an aid to the every day diplomacy
Of life. The hair Of the moustache not
only absorbs the moisture and miasma
Of the foss, tut it strains the air from
dust and the SCOT Of our great, smoky
cities. 1t &C s also in the most scientific
manner, by taking the heat from the
warm breath as it leaves the chest, and
supplying it to the cold air taken in. 1t
ia not only a respirator, but with board
entire we are supplied with a comforter
as wsl, and these are never left at homo
like the umbrella and all such applia nces
when they are wanted. Moffat and Liv-
ingstone, the explorers, and other travo.
lers, say that at night no wrapper can
equal the beard. A remarkable fact is,
too, that the beard. like the hair of the
head, protects against the heat Of the
sun-it acts as the thatch does to tbs ice
house; but, more than this, it becomes
moist with perspiration, and then by
evaporation cools the skin. A man who
accepts this protection Of nature, may
face the rudsst storm and the hardest

Fresh Grapes at all Sea sons.

"We once knew gentleman who sup
piled bis table with fresh grapes from
one season to another.
His plan was to gather when ripe the
largest and finest lunches Of grapes and
pack them in suwdu.t, using IN place Of
boxes common nail kegs, which he pur
chased for triAs at hardware stores.
After carefully packing the desired
number Of kegs, lie buried q lot in u
trench dug in high, dry ground, beneath
a shed where the water could neither fall
nor soak in. Before using the sawdust
ho carefully dried it either 10 the sun OF
10 an oven, until it was entirely free from
moisture. We never witnessed the pack
ing process, but we know be always had
the grapes, and in this way he told US be
preserved them. After being buried fol
months, they were as sweet and 6noly
favored as if just gathered from the
vines. The process is cheap and may b
easily tested. If it will preserve th'
grape, new and profitable business may
be built up. Bunches Of fresh rip.
grapes in the spring would be novelty

growers will try the experiment.

to be successful, must have majority of
all the electors The electoral college.
as now constituted, consists OF 317-16O
therefore arc necessary for choice.
If there are three candidates for Pres.
ident and neither ,f them receive a
majority Of all the electoral college, then
there is no choice and the election goes

vote by states, and each state has but
one vote, 80 that the power of Dclcwars
