Under He'll Gate.

Ihe work OF excavatiDg under Hell
Gate, East River, just above New York
Is progressing satisfactorily, There are
ten main tunnels, running IN semi-cir.
cular form from the point just above the
landing at Astoria. The longest of these
tunnels is now 230 feet. There are other
intcrseciing tunnels connecting the
whole. They are thirty.four feet deep, and
there is about len feet OF rock between the
tunnels and the water.
The ro;k above is supported by solid
stone pillars, which have been left be-
tween the tunnels. The excavations are
made by drilling into the rock, and then
blasting with nitro-gl ycerinc, the broken
rock being removed TO the outside aud
the blasting repeated. Thus the work
goes on, and 1t is proposed to continue il
until all the dangerous rocks on the
eastern side of the gate shall have been
removed, and the channel made wide and
deep enough for the largest ocean steam
ers TO pass through. 1t is thought that
it will require year and halt more to
complete the work, and further ap-
preparation will have TO be made by
Congress.
When all the necessary excavations
shall have been made, and the pillars
supporting the rock above and the rock
itself will be bored and charged with
nitro-glycerine, and the same explosive
material.placed in the tunnels. The Golfer
dam which now keeps back the water
will next be cut, aud the water let into
the tunnels. The charges of nitro-glycer-
Inc will then be exploded, and it is calcu-
lated that the result will be that Hell
Gate will go up in cloud of water, and
thac the rocks can atterward be grappled
and removed. The engineer in charge
Of the work is confident of a successful
result, and proposes TO remain within
three hundred feet of the entrance 10 the
tunnels when the final blast is touched
off by electricity. Some of the reriden,s
of Astoria are apprehensive of danger
when that takes place.

DID PAUL HAVE A WIFE?-It was an
early question whether Paul was mar
ried. The passage in the epistle to the
Corinthians, in which he speaks of him
self as unencumbered with domestic
cares, does not preclude the notion that
he might have been a widower-does
not even prove more than that he went
Oh his missionary journeys alone. On
the other hand, he speaks of his assent
to the death of Stephen, and his CON-
mission from the Sanhedrim-iunction
and powers that could not we'll have
been exercised by man who was not a
member Of that council. But we are ex-
pressly told that this great assembly of
the Jews included only fathers, to secure
Il merciful Interpretation of the law. An
early explanation, too, of the "true
yCke-tellow" at the Church to Philippi,
whom he bids labor to reconcile or as
sist Enodia and Syntyche, recognizes
the wife Of the Apostle i'll the phrase.
The epistle was, it may be said almost
certainly, written from Rome, and du-

which the perils of the Apostles situa-
tiOn were aggravated by sorrow, and

Ex-Governor Wise, of Virginia, is as
bitterly opposed to Greeley now as be-
fore his nomination. In a letter Just
made pablo he says: "cannot and will
not act or vote with the so-called Liber-
al Republicans. They are too liberal
They are so loose as to have no princi-
Piles, and adopt the worst as well as the
best, to suit birds of every feather, met

mingled white spirits and gray, SO that
the party is the worst of mongrels and
all things to all men," This view seems
to be rather common among Virginia
Democrats. Last Wednesday evening
Hon. j. Davis, Democratic Congressman
from the Wheeling district, made a pub
lie speech against Greeley. On the same
day meeting of Democrats was held in
Richmond for the alleged purpose of
forming coalition against Greeley and
to stump the State Tor Grant. Every
day disguised Democrats are breaking
loose IRON the Liberal movement and

ANACONDA OF VENEZUELA.-Of opidi-
ans, the great anaconda serpent is un-
ques.ionably the most terrific in charac-
ter of all the reptiles on the American
continent. The anaconda of Venezuela
not unfrequently attains the length OF
twenty, thirty and even forty feet. 1t
actually swallows animals larger than it's
own body. The throat may be put up
on a stretch 10 admit a deer or a COW,
and the stomach is sufficiently elastic to
receive the mass. In gorging tall stag
with an'lerS, they stick crosswiSe at the
angles of the mouth until decomposition
in one direction and prodigious muscular
action i'll another separate them from
the skull, and then the remnants of an
enguIfng carcass slide down for diges-
ton. They only feed occasionally. AT
ter successfully swallowing a crushed
victim they can go seven months or
more without further food. Their skin
is used for straps when tanned, on ac-
count of toughness and durability, in
that country. Serpenis inspire feeling
of horror, large or small-there is an in-
stinctive dread OF them in all human be-
ings. And yet they fulfill an important
mission in the economy of life, indispen-
sible. viewed by the laws of equaliza-
tion--or checks and balances i'll the do

Greeley's Acceptance, Literally Con.

his old friends. lie minated that he
would write letter, which is as follows:

remarked OF some good domestic crpa-
Lure whom her husband regards as the
apple of his eye, and in whose plain face

at the bottom of the sneering question.
The truth is, that most men prefer home

on the contrary, aware of their personal
deficiencies, generally lay Themselves out

in most instances succeed. They don't

pretty women do learn too late. Mrs.
Hannah Moore, very excellent and
pious women, who knew whereof she
wrote, recommends every unmarried
sister to accept the offer of the first good
sensible Christian lover who falls in her
way. But ladies whose mirror, aided by
The glamour of vanity, assure them that
they were born for conquest, pay no
heed to such advice. 1t is a noteworthy
fac, that homely girls generally get bet
ter husbands than fall to the lot of their
false sistes. Men who are caught merely
by pretty face and figure do not as a gen
eral rule, amount to much. The prac-
tical useful, thoughtful portion of man

Watching Watchmen.

Miss Fox, sister of Macauley's friend
Lord Holland, lived toward the close Of
her life at suburban abode called "Little
Holland House." Nervous as TO burg
lars, in what was then very burglarious
neighborhood, she employed a private
watChman to guard her. 1t was part of
this functionary's duty TO fire off a gun
at a certain period Of the evening, to
prove that he was all there" and to
impress the burglariously disposed with
a proper sense of their danger. "When

say, I" know that | may 60 to sleep in

the watchman regarded this incident in
the night as the signal for the conf

revealed circumstances scarcely less sat

open and five thousand dollars in gold
taken before the arrival of the private
watchman. IL appeared that this tunc-

the shop closed at eight-but, having
met with a charner in the shape OF a
young lady with whom he had no pre-

course was in league with the robbers,

WoMAN's RIGHTs.-President Grant
recently stated in conversation that wo-
men as postmasters had proved efficient,
trustworthy and valuable officers of the
government that he entirely approved
of employing them at all times and in
all places where it could be done.
Hence, he has not only given four of the
best paying Offices in the country to
women, against the earnest protest of
politicians, but he has at all times urged
upon the heads of departments the ap-
pointment of women and the justice of
paying them the same salaries that are
paid to men Tor doing the same work.

ATMospHERE OF NEvADA.-A Neva-
da paper, speaking of the rarity OF the
atmosphere of Virginia City, says: !:
Persons arriving from places near the
level Of the sea, who are at home rapid
walkers, soon find themselves brought
up with round turn, and either raise
blood or bleed at the nose. Little brisk
walking is ever seen in the city. People
do not seem so active as they really are,
for the reason that they have been COM
PEELED TO adopt gait which, if not lazy,
IL at least rather leisurely. Hot weather
is felt more severely and is much more
debililating than at the sea level.
When the Thermometer marks 80 degrees
in this elevated region, the air is of much
less value than il is at the sea level under
the same heat Pigeons that fly very
strongly in California are almost like nm
fedged birds when brought bsre."

MORAL MEDICINE.-There is a moral
medicine more potent than the drug of
an apo:hecary-the power over the sick,
gentleness, Kindness and sympathy, on
the part of youth, and beauty and wo-
manliness And there is a moral poison,
more deadly than arsenic or prussic acid
or nicotine. Many pinIug invalid has
been hurried into the grave from the
want of sympathy on the part of those
who should have watched aud loved and
cherished with warmest affection; hearts
that were yearning, even dying for il, for
some little exhibition now and then of
loving tenderness.
"Don't leave me, my son." were among
the very last words of Henry Clay, as
the death drops thickly studded his no.
bic brow; it was the instructive want Of
helping hand in the terrible hour. And
so do we all in sickness pine ter the pres
ence of those nearest and dearest to US,
when even holding the thin, bony fingers
sends asympathetc thrill to the invalid's
bosom. "Crown Inc with flowers" was
the last aspiration Of the dying Mira
beau.
The atrocious Danton, the Mirabeau
of the rabble, shortly before his execu-
ton, spoke necessarily OF flowers, as if
the memory of them was beautiful and
happiiying.-Dr w. W. Hall.

1t seems that Senator Sumner has been
misrepresented as being supporter OF
Greeley. This is not singular, as the
sorehead movement is mainly based on
misrepresentation. What Mr.. Sumper
really did say is this: "The Republican
party must be saved, and what / can do
shall be done for it," That does not
sound much like sustaining movement
which is directly aimed at the overthToV
of the Republican party.
