New Tunnel Under the Alps-Rapid
Communication Between England and
France.

Science and engineering skill are fast
destroying the natural barriers between
the countries of Europe. A tunnel
under the Alps at the Pass of st.
Gothard is projected, which will unite
Germany and Italy. 1t will be twice as
long as that under Mount Gents, and
through much harder rock though it
is thought that 10y the aid Of improved
machinery in the hands of workmen EN-.
ployed in the latter tunnel, it will be
completed in less time. The cost Of
the work is estimated at $37, 100000
England and France cannot wait for a
tunnel 10 unite these two countries. As
substitute, it is proposed 10 run enor-
nous ferry steamers between Dover and
Calais, at such speed that the trip can
be made in single hour. Each steamer
is 10 be $50 feet long, propelled by dis
connected engines of 400 horsepower
capacity. The docks at each end Of the
route are to be covered by immense
buildings, so that the boats will be under
cover during the time of receiving and
discharging passengers and goods.
Travellers and freight bound from Lon.
don to Paris can, if desired, remain in
cars during the entire trip. BY the aid
of hydraulic machinery, it is believed
that the cars may be lowered from the
railway tracks TO the steamer in five
minutes. Passengers may remain in
their seats, or descend in steam pro-
PEELED elevator. Arriving in Calais, the
cars will be raised in the same way.
Freight trains will occupy the hold of
the steamers, passenger trains the
middle deck, while the upper deck will
afford an excellent place for observa-
ton. The examination of baggage will
take place on board the boat by custom
house officials, who will have their
offices there.

A Wonderful Clock.

Droz, a mechanic of Geneva, produced
clock which excelled all others in
ingenuity. On it were seated a negro,
shepherd and dog. When the clock
struck, the shepherd played six tunes
on his flute, and the dog approaced and
fawned upon him. This wonderful
machine was exhibited to the King of
Spain, who was greatly delighted with
it. "The gentleness of my dog" said
Droz, "is his least merit. Ii your
Majesty touch one of the apples which
you see in the shepherds basket, you
will admire the animals fidelity" The
King took an apple, and the dog flew at
his hand, barking so loud that the
Kings dog, which was in the room, be.
gan to bark also. At this the courtiers.
not doubling that it was an affair of
witchcraft, hastily left the room, eros.
ing themselves as they departed.
Having desired the Minister Of Marine
(the only one who ventured to remain)
TO ask the negro what o'clock it was,
the Minister did so, but obtained no
reply. Droz then observed that the
negro had MT yet learned Spanish,
upon which the question was repeated
in French, when the black Immediately
answered him. At this prodigy the
firmness of the Minister also iorsook
him, and he retreated precipitately, de
claring that 1t must be the work Of 9
supernatural being.

Death Of a Patriarchal Canine.

On Saturday, Napoleon" John vii.
sons old circus dog, died in this city at the
advanced age of twenty-three. Dogs die
daily that deserve no particular men
ton, but Napoleon" merits as fair share
of honorable reference as any dog that
ever lived or died in this city. One fact
alone will prove it. He accomplished
more in his lifetime than thousands of
men do in theirs he saved three per-
sons from drowning, at the risk of losing
his own life. Napoleon" knew all
about the circus, and was never better
pleased than when witnessing or par.
ticipating in the sports OF the sawdust
arena. When he reached the years of
doghood he became subject to fits, re-
sulting in precipitation of blood to his
oyerwrought brain. He became his own
physician, and instead of resorting, as
men similarly afflicted sometimes do, to
stimulating drinks, which aggravate
their malady, he tried cold water.
Whenever he felt an attack coming on
" Napoleon would start for a bucket
of water or a trough, plunge his head
into the water and hold it there as long
as he could hold his breath. This gen.
orally had the effect which he desired
AS age advanced he became deaf and
blind, and his limbs were stiff and al.
most useless. The last attack killed
him. Napoleon" was a travelled"
dog. He came to this city from New
Orleans when but youth, and soon en-
gagged with Wilson's Circus. With that
he visited nearly every county and town
in the State and on the coast. He also
visited Australia and China, and became
a favorite of men wherever he went, for
he was honest and true. Yesterday
Napoleon" was buried on hill at the
corner of Powell and Sacramento streets,
in the presence Of very large company
Of men who had known and respected
him. A gentleman read sketch of his
life, and when they all went away, fresh
flowers and wreathes lay on old "Na'
poleon's" grave.-,Sm Francisco Bulletin.

COIOred ElOuucnce.

At Fourth. of.July celebration, just
after the war, a colored orator was
holding forth to a crowd of his fellow
citizens Of African descent. He was
much disturbed that the whites and
blacks had been separated during the
exercises of the day, and thus deplored
the fact:

4 Minister NOnnlused.

A young minister, who had been
invited TO preach in church where
the congregation was very much
opposed to written sermons, found him
self in very unusual and unpleasant
condition when he rose to announce
his discourse. He had never preached
without notes, and all his ideas fled as
soon as he had announced his text. He
paused told how his text was divided !;
paused again; repeated his text, and
then made several unsuccessful efforts to
say something about something He
tried the creation, but that would not
do. Then he attempted something
about the patriarchs of old, bu. failed
again, Everything seemed very dark

A Cool Confession.

PARIS, April l6.-Margaret Diblanc,
the murderess of Madame Riel in Park
Lane, London, having been arrested in
this city, was examined for five hours to-
day by the Commissioner of Judicial
Delegations. She exhibited wonderful
GOODNESS, and gave a shocking circum-
stantial account of the murder, her verb.
al realism being heightened by panto
mimic illustrations of the homicidal
struggle. Her eyes, too, glared with
tiger.like ferocity. With much ingenu.
ity she strove to show that there was
no reconciliation. Her story is that
Madame Riel was habitually tyrannicsl
mistress. When dressed for walk in
the park she came to the kitchen and
scolded her because no preparations
were made for dinner. She then
snatched up saucepan from the cooks
hand to put on the fire herself. The
cook said, of do not give satisfaction,
pay me my wages and let me CO." The
mistress replied, "If you leave you will
become a street-walker." "Say that
again if you dare ~ said the cook, and
the insult being repeated she strangled
her mistress. The magistrate observed
that her nails were very short, and he
could not believe that she killed Madame
Riel with them. The prisoner replied,
81 did though, and my nails entered
her flesh. | first tried to conceal the
body in the dust bin, and | could not.
| then took it by the feet, but being un-
able TO drag it, | got cord and passed
it round her waist. Finding the body
bent double, pat il round her neck. At
this moment the housemaid, who was
out on an GRAND, knocked at the door.
| sent her away for beer. Then | tried
to drag the body up stairs, but could not,
and hid it in the cellar" Marguerite
Dlblanc says that the robbery was an
afterthought, occasioned by the keys
falling from the victims pocket. The
magistrate expressed his opinion that
the murder was committed with the
rope, and not with the hands alone
the rope was thrown like a lasso, and
the bonnet strings forced into the neck.
The prisoner ate a bread and cheese
luncheon with the other servant, and at
7 in the evening took the railway train.
Among the witnesses examined was the
woman Bouillon. She at first denied
receiving the stolen property, but when
confronted with her husband admitted
the fact, and said she had burned the
velvet bonnet which the prisoner
brought from England. Gerard, the
charcoal dealer at st. Denis, said that
Diblanc confessed the murder to him
before the police arrived, and he meant
them, but advised her she had nothing
TO fear because she was a Belgian, and
also because no cutting instrument be
ing used to draw blood it was not &
murder. A waiter, an old acquaintance
of Diblanc, passed April IL with her ~
the Gingerbread Fair. They visited
shows, rode in merry -go-rounds, played
ecarte, and threw for macaroons. Ii
the course Of the examination Diblan'
com planned of dizziness and a suffocatini
! feeling.

An Entire Family Massacred Near Bor-
deauX, France,

The Gronde newspaper gives the fol-
lowing particulars respecting the muir
der of five persons at Barp, near
Bordeax /: &" Yesterday afternoon rumors
of frightful crime, committed near
was circulated in our city. 1t seems
that an entire family was assassinated
on Tuesday night at the house of one
Manaut, or Mano, called the Mason.
At 10 o'clock the authorities received
the following dispatch from Mar he.
prime An entire family has been
assasslnated during the night at Tas-
tous, in the commune Of Barp. Five
persons are lying dead. Watch travellers
of suspicious appearance. Children
say they have seen band of gipsies in
the wood. The victims occupied an
isolated house among the pines, at the
place called Tastous, in the commune OF
Barp, Belin cantan, four miles from the
Marcheprime station, and three hundred
yards from the road from Marcheprime
to Barp. They belonged to the family
of the rural postman, who was away
from home at the time of the crime.
The family is composed of the father
in-law and mother-in-law of the post
man, and Their daughter, his wife the
last-named is the mother Of four chill
dren. Three adults were found living
about ten yards from the house, mutila
ted by hammer, others say by knife.
Two ofthe children, one aged five years,
the other sixteen months, We're killed
in their bel. The two elder children,
one seven, and the other nine years OF
age, were in led and in another room.
Having heard nothing they did not
stir, and the assassins did not discover
them. The mother.in-la law who had re-
ceived several wounds, was still alive
during yesterday, but, it is said, could
not speak. There was no hope that she
would survive the night. We do not
yet know the motive of the crime,
which, by the number of the victims,
recalls that of Traupmann. 1t has,
however, been ascertained that al
though the house was poor one, it had
been pillaged. The cupboards were
ransacked. The magistrates of Bordeaux
yesterday sent two of their body TO
Barp, the prccureur of the republic, NJ.
De Larouverade, and the JUICE d instruc.
ton, NJ. Pichard de la Tour, who left by
the . o'clock train, and who will not
return until this evening. The inhab-
itants of Marcheprime and of Barp,
full of indignation at the news of these
horrible acts, have started in pursuit,
and are securing the woods, where it is
thought the criminals have sought
refuge

An Austrian TichbOrne.

Tennyson's crime in creating Enoch
Arden, and so preparing the way for
the countless repetitions of that story
in real life, from which we have since
suffered, bids fair TO be surpassed by
Tichborne- Orton's crime in setting
other adventures or other wandering
Baronets bad example. Since his
trial began, we have had similar cases
reported from half.a-dozen States in
this country, from France, from Italy,
and now from Austria. The Austrian
Tichborne is a Colonel Estvan, who
claimed that the Imperial family, as the
representatives of Macmillan, were in
debted TO him in the sum of $4,000,
due him from the Mexican Emperor in
return for many important services,
which he narrated in detail and tried to
substantiate by a mass of documents.
His case, which seemed at first very
strong, was terribly weakened during
the trial. 1t was finally proved that his
name was an assumed one that he was
q native of Vienna, the son of dyer,
and very illiterate; that he had lived
in New York since 1850, and had
never been in Maximilion's service at
all ; and that he was, in short, an utter
sham. He sued for $4,000, and re-
ceived an award of six years imprison-
ment at hard labor.

UnaccountabIe Phenomena at Party.

The following story is told of young
lady and gentleman at fashionable
party in Nashville: The young man
was handsome and happy, the young
lady arrayed in lavender, rose, &c,
with gold-powdered hair flowing over
her swanlike neck. Finding the heat
of the room too much for them, they
sought the cool shade of an arbor where
they might listen to the fountains fall.
The music rose and fell, time flew on
silver pinions, and after an absence of at
least an hour, our young friends re.
entered the brilliantly illuminated
parlors. The lady passed on in the
dance, but the young man was slightly
taken aback by his next neighbour in.
forming Tim that round his neck was
the unmi stakable print of two arms in
chalk and diamond dust, on ode shout
der large pile of yellow powder, and
on his upper lip and cheek diamond
dust, bloom of youth, and yellow
powder mixed up generally. The
lady's hair was observed to be several
shades paler.

A New Humbug.

Brigham Young's brilliant success in
sanctifying lust has inspired woman
in Nebraska to do likewise. AS Joe
Smith founded the sect of Latter Day
Saints, this adventures styles herself
Josephine Smith, and her followers
when she has any Latest-Day Saints.
She abhors polygamy, and proclaims
the holiness of polyandry. Her ere.
dentials consist of several scratched
stones, which she declares came from
Heaven, and which she interprets as
authorizing a plurality of husbands.
Not having any money, she lacks the
responsibility of Woodruff, and, instead
of living on Murray Hill, sojourns in an
old army tent. Her converts are not
numerous, but she is mistaken in her
faith.
