Soldiers Honest leads.

The amount of lands subject to the
provisions of the new law are enormous,
as will be seen by reference 10 the tabu.
lated statement for the different States,
which will be found below. The extent
which is really available for present or
early settlement is much more limited,
because many Of the lands are too re-
mote from settlements and too inacces.
sible to be suitable for homestead pre-.
emption for several years to come.
The main provision, and most inn
portant of the law, is that which pro.
vides that instead of the five years. &C
tual residence that was required under
the previous law before title could
be given, the time any soldier was in
the service is to be deducted from that
time, and the residence required is
made so much the shorter as soldier
was in the army. Thus, a soldier who
served three years will have to remain
upon his land but two years to secure a
patent, he who served two years only
three. and he who served one year three,
and so on.
The approximate area Of public land
in the States and Territories remaining
Of is as follows:

A Pennsylvania Bull. Dog.

There is man in Darby, Penn, who
purchased bulldog, which he pro-
posed to turn loose in the store at.night
in order to scare away the burglars. The
first evening after he had obtained pos
session of the animal he locked it in
the store and went away happy man.
The next morning, early, he went
around to the store and unlocked the
door. The dog was vigilant the man
was surprised to perceive how very
exceedingly vigilant. tina. dog was-for
no sooner was the door opened than
the dog seized its owner by the leg,
suddenly, and seemed to be animated
by an earnest and vigorous resolution
not to let go until it had removed at
least one good mouthful. And the man
pushed the dog back and shut the door
on its ribs until the animal relaxed its
Jaws: and then the man kicked the dog
into the store and shut the door as if he
was in hurry to do something. Then
he suspended business for week, and
spent the vacation firing at that dog
through the windows, and down the
chimney, and up through the cellar
ceiling, with shotgun, trying to
exterminate him. And that mercantile
establishment did not open for trade
until the man had paid twice the first
cost of the dog to the dogs former
owner to come and take it home; and
then, when he got in, he found that
during the commandment holes had
been shot through mackerel barrels and
molasses cans and coal-oil kegs so that
there was misery aud ruin everywhere.
Dogs have no more charms for this
man and if you allude in his presence
to the noble work that is being done by
the woman's branch of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
that merchant is always observed to
rise up and swear.

New Tunnel Under the Alps-Rapid
Communication Between England and

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. II will be twice as
long as that under Mount Gents, and
through much harder rock though it
is thought that by 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 $37,00O,000.
England and France cannot wait for
tunnel to unite these two countries. AS
a substitute, it is proposed to run enor-
nous ferry steamers between Dover and
Calais, at such speed that the trip can
be made in single hour. Each steamer
is to 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 thatthe 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 i'm five
minutes. Passengers may remain in
their seats, or descend in a 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.

The Church or England.

The Bishop of Manchester lately said
that if the Church Of England is to be
saved it must be by resting upon the
affections of the masses Of the people
upon the twenty millions of poor and
not upon the ten thousand rich. The
Bishop pointed out that if the Church
appealed to the masses it must be pre-
pared to receive them when they an
swered the appeal, and he urged that
better accommodation should be at once
provided for the poor. He declared
that pew rents were an abomination,
and he only accepted them a Loce'.
