bent eagerly forward. His sight has nearly
gone. He was unable, even with his spectacles,
to read paper he held in his hand, and which
he was obliged to get peighbor to decipher for
him. This incident brought forth hearty laugh

merriment unseemly until the meeting closed.
/ went to the door and stood in order to have
another, better, and, fear last view Of the
great man. He soon came and remained,
touching me, until his carriage drew up.
The carriage was plain, or rather not
snowy, but large, Toomy, oomlortable; the
horses were unmatched, one bay the other white;
there was no footman. To my surprise, his
voice in conversation retained those old Web
Ster-like tones which had So often made the
chamber of deputies shake TO It's foundation,
and which Rachel so much admired. sit rainSl
1t rains! said he, in his old tones, so rich and
so musical. He was accompanied by three la

they all began to run him most merry levi

laughed as heartily as the youngest of them,
and seemed in the highest spirits. 1t was the
first time l had seen NJ. Guizot laugh. Another
little incident struck me. He wore the grand
cross of the Legion of Honor and the decora-
ton of the Golden Fleece. He tossed and kept
back his overcoat, thar these orders on his coats
breast might be seen. | was unprepared for
this exhibition of vanity. They drove off TO
pay visit. Despite his great age, NJ Guizot
goes INTO company almost every night, dimes
out often, and receives company once week.
He has heen offered the mission to England,
but has declined it on the plea of age. Were
he younger it is probable he would not accept
any offer from NJ. Theirs. He thinks the lattel's
policy altogether wrong, and almost sure to
lead to a restoration of the empire; it is too
personal; it is not sufficiently in unison with the
majority of the assembly; it is not government
by parties; it is the destruction of all parties eX-
cept the party of anarchy.-COr. N. Y. World.

The New York Tribune, fearing that the
democrats will not endorse the Cincinnati nomi-
nations, gives utterance to this notable express
sion of feeling: at is barely possible that the
democrats will play the suicidal part assigned
them by their implacable enemies" Here is a
sufficiently distinct confession that Mr.. Greeley
and the Tribune seek to defeat the republican
party in order to restore the democratic party
TO power. What Greeley, as president, would
do with that party is another matter. The most
implacable enemy it ever had or ever
win have, can not be willing to inAict
upon it greater disaster than responsibility
for giving Horace Greeley opportunity TO illus
trate his crotchets, eccentricities, WITNESSES, and
laundering experiments, in the White House,
not to speak of what his administration would
be in other respects. We predict that the dem
ocrats will not dare 10 risk such an experiment
as this They desire to be in power; but voting
for Horace Greeley is something they have not
bargained for.

There is child in Shelby county, Ohio, eight
years old, whose body has never grown since its
birth. It's head, however, is very large weigh
ing much more than the body, perhaps twenty
five pounds. 1t is intelligent, and gives evidence
of its playlulneSs, although unable TO walk or
speak.
NJ de Quatrefages of the institute of France
vents his indignation against the PrussianS by
publishing book to prove that the Prussian
race is not akin to the other races of Europe,
but is in reality derived from the primeval cave
men, who were cannibalS and caryerS of flint
instruments of the sOcalled stone age.

My Double, and How He Un1id Me-" so in
imitably told by Hale, has been repeated in
London. There is, or rather was, in that city,
an unassuming gentleman, Netterville by name,
who has the misfortune to be the very other
self OF Iichb0rne 0rton. While the trial was
going on, he could appear nowhere without at
tracing universal attention, often of a very I'M
pleasant nature. Wheni the claimant was
locked up, the woes of his double were doubled.
Whenever thel latter was seen, the Londoners
thought that the former had been bailed out.

shouted, "Hurrah for Sir Rogerl Give him a

these displays, that Mr. NetterYille has actually
been forced TO leave London TO escape them.
This story is told of the private secretary of a
New York governor: An innocent rustic ca lied
upon him, one day, for the third time, to inquire
the fate Of some local measure of legislation
which the governor unaccountably delayed to
sign. The secretary remarked ''Say, do you
know the name of that little fellow in the New
Testament who climbed up into the palm tree ?"
"Zaccheus, promptly answered the visitor
'Oh, yes, Zaccheus, that's the man." replied
the secretary, "and do you remember what they
said to himp Certainly" said the wondering
rustic, "they said, Zaccheus, make haste and
come down." That's it," said the secretary,
apparently much gratiGed, "come down and be
quick about it. Good day, sir" The ruralist
pondered for a few moments over the strange
interest this busy official seemed to take in his
familiarity with Scripture, and then he took the
hint and ''came down and his bill was signed
within an hour.

If the strength of the Cincinnati movement
were half equal to the noise it has made, il
would be great deal stronger than il is or ever
will be. 1t has made great noise and secured
general attention, because three or four of its
principal leaders were editors of prominent
newspapers, and proclaimed it, while some OF
the others were able to agitate in its behalf in
the national senate. Nevertheless it has repre-
sented very few people besides the free traders,
by whom it was started; aud the Missouri free
traders and other operators, who started it, were
not republicans. In the convention, so called,
the delegations were manufactured, and, to a
large extent, were spurious. Twelve states had
not men enough in Cincinnati to cast their full
vote, and quite number of them had only one
man there. Delaware was represented by
Washington reporter. California was repre-
sented by stray miner, who probably acted as
delegate ''lor the fun of the thing and was
doubtless democrat, if anything. There was
not republican in the Maryland delegation :"
and, throughout the south, the delegates" TO
great extent, represented such people as the
Warmothites and the amnestied and other ex-
rebels.
those VINO tnlnE tnat any considerable num-
Der of republicans were represen ted at Cincin-
matt, have been more influenced by the noise
made than by careful study OF the facts. Those
who believe this Cincinnati affair can "break up
the republican party" will become great deal
wiser before the year is out. Listening to the
noisy pretenses, one would suppose the party
already hopeless wreck in several states, such
as Illinois and Indiana; but now, since the mass
meeting adjourned, and while the "liberals' are
proclaiming the overthrow of the republican
party in those states, we hear something from
Indiana, which seems worth attention. On
Tuesday, this week, the local elections were held
in Indiana, and the republicans have made large
gains They have gained over 900 in the city o.
indianapolis. They made important gains, also
in Charlottesville, Terre Haute, Lafayette
Franklin, Columbus, Rockville, Salem, Soutl
Bend, Slelbyyille, and Muncie If the 'liberal'
party in that state were half as strong as its
talk is loud, the republicans would have lost
heavily and suffered defeat everywhere. As it
is, another Cincinnati mass meeting might have
the effect of making the vote for republican
candidates nearly unanimous.

IUNNELING UNDER THE STRAITS OF DOVER
On the 18th of January a company was regis
tered in London, under the title Of "rhe Chan
mel funnel, for making a trial shaft and driv-
ing driit-way on the English side of the straits
of Dover. This is the Inauguration of an at
tempt to carry out the much talked of tunnel to
connect the "fast-anchored'' isle with France
1t is expected that one OF two lines will be chos-
en-. M. de Gamond, a French engineer, favors
route from Cape Point, near Folkestone, in En-
gland to point little eastward of Cape Griz-
nee, In France; while Mr. Low an English en-
gineer, advocates line from half a mile west of
South Foreland to point four miles west of
Calais. Ii is presumabe that the expense will
be the great obstacle to encounter, as the mere
question of the practicablity of tunneling under
the Dover straits has been abundanty demon
strated in several of the mining districts on the
English coast At Whitehaven, the workings"
extend for three miles under the sea, in direct
| line, and are connected by branch tunnels Some
of these are situated from 80 to $40 yards below
| the bed of the sea, but many are at much less
depth. Biologists are almost uniformly agreed
| that the channel of the Dover straits was formed
| by the simple washing away of an sthmus, and
| therefore, that there will be no disocation OF
strata to be encountered. The cuttings will BIZ
| through gray chalk, except at the English end o
| the line proposed by Nj. de Gamond, where th
formation is green sand. 1t is calculated tina
two tunneing machines, working without inter
| mission night and day, one from each end of tn
projected tunnel would complete drft-way-o
experimental tunnel-Seven feet in diameter, il
a single year. Any estimate of the cost of tn
tunnel must be to a certain extent conjectura
but it is thought that il could be completed il
five years, and for G5,000,0O0. Calculation
based on the revenue derived from the presen
modes of transit to the continent and the extr;
traffic that would arise from the improved mean
of travel, show that, at a very moderate est
mate, the revenue would be eS50,000 per an
| mum.

We do not wish to suggest any unwarranta-
BILE inference from The fact, which nevertheless
exists, that the period of the organization Of the
Washington weather bureau in its present form
and the daily transmission of its reports CORE
spends quite closely with the continuance of the
prolonged drouih from which, with some inter
walls OF alienation, We have been suffering for
two years and more. General Myer has no re-
sponsibility for This extraordinary lack of rain
we dare say, for Persia, which has no General
Myer, has had to bear similar, though infinite
ly aggravated priyatiou; but his weather records
and representations are unpleasantly assOci-
ated with il in the minds Of the people, and il
they could some morning find, on tuning to
the weather probabilities in their daily paper, an
assurance of a copious rain General MyeI
would have share in the gratitude evoked by
that intelligence For long time almost every

dieting another shorl grass crop, and the other
inevitable evils Of a dry season, which can be
averted only by speedy and abundant rains. An
English agricultural proyerb says: "a bushel
of March dust is worth kings ransom" If
seasons like the present are to be the rule in
New England, we may adopt the proyerb with
variation, substituting for the highly esteemed
"March dust," May mud, which is becoming
quite as rare and precious a commodity.
