The Hoosac Tunnel...W Where the Head.
tngs Will Meet.
BY Rev. william c. wilk,nson,

10
The small distance remaining be-
tween the heading at the " East End"
of the tunnel and the heading which is
proceeding westward from the central
shaft, will be bored this week and next,
and tie connection will be made about
the 18th inst. The parties boring from
the central shaft will cease work on the
11th, and those from the east end will
complete the job. There have been
some suspicious that the headings
would not meet exactly on account Of
the supposed influence of the iron in
the mountain on the surveyor'sneedles,
but the engineers are confident that
they will come together without the
slightest variation. The grades of the
two big bores, now advancing to meet
meet each other, are designedly differ
ent, that from the east being the grade
upon which trains will be run, while
that from the central shaft is higher,
and bottom of seven feet will have to
be blasted out in order to make that
part of the tunnel conform to the rest
and be Of the proper height. This work
will take five or six months, but when
it is done only half a mile more will
have to be blasted to put the bore
through the mountain. The progress
of the whole work IN November was as
follows: East end, 145 feet central
shaft eastward, 148 feet west end, 13
feet; total, 429 feet. Lengths opened
to December l: East end, II, ,2O5 feet ;
central shaft east, 1913 feet; central
shaft west, 339 feet; west end, 8,574
feet; total, 1851 feet. Lengths re-
naming to be opened between east
end and central shaft, 119 feet be.

The Canned Preserve Trade in Califor.

The business of preserving and can

California is very profitable one, and
is extensively carried on in San Fran.
cisco. The latter are 50 abundant and
cheap, and Chinese labor is SO inexpen-
sive, that the profits are naturally large
and the outlay comparatively small.
The process of preserving is simple
one. The cans ans made in the factor
les, passed over to the filters who, after
their work is done, give them into the
hands of the boilers. The material is
put in raw and cooked by steam. The
sealing which is carefully done, is per
formed by another gang, and 30 in these
factories each has his separate depart
ment. When the cans are taken from
the boiler they pass into another room
where the proper labels are attached.
These labels are quite artistically exc
cuted, each indicating the species OF
fruit or vegetable that the can contains.
Those intended for table use being of
better assorted description, have more
elaborate labels, and those put up fol
making into pies, tarts, etc., are not SO
tasteful]y ornamented. The demand
for came / fruit and vegetables is very
large, and the factories have seldom
any surplus stock left on their hands
This canning business, SO extensive in
California, is an adopted one, it having
FIRST been put in practice on the Allan
tic seaboard.

The thirteen unedited letters of VOL
taire, now published at Moscow in the
fifth volume of the "Memoirs of
Prince Vorontzof," deserve attention,
says the Paris Temps, since Voltaire
never left anything written which did
not contain either some curious Pc
culiarity or distinctive feature of his
genius. They are not remarkably in
teresting in a literary or historical
point Of view, but their photographed
attractions are greater for they are or
iginal and the signatures are auto
graphs. One of these letters contains
a curious profession Of faith on
the part Of Voltiare, which was
called forth by the request made to
him on behalf of Catherine III. of Rus
sia by his friend Count Vorontzof, to
represent that sovereign's interference
in favor of the Polish dissenters in it's
true light. &c am indeed" he writes,

A Magnif1cent CHARITY.

1t is announced that in his will, Ed
win Forrest will leave his entire prop
erty, even his wardrobe and valuable
library, to be usel for the foundation
OF a Home for Disabled Dramatic
Artists. Sixty acres of ground within
the limits of Philadelphia have been
made over to the corporation of that
city for the purposes set forth, and in
after years those members of the 'dra-
matte profession whose lives have not
been crownedIwith successful gains may
enjoy the comforts of beautiful home,
surrounded by reminders of their art.
Mr.. Forrest said to friend less than a
month ago, that this project had been
the main object of his life for thirty
five years, and that he had made ample
provision for carrying it out. 1t was
his desire that the endowment should
be legally perfect; that there cnn,d lie
no 1nesti," before the Courts ah"ut
the title. Further, he said he wished
his bequest to be so closely understood
that no one would doubt Lis motive.

After the Fire.

BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
While far along the eastern sky
ksaw the flags OF Havoc Iy,
As il his forces would assault
The sovereign Of tho starry vault,
And huri Him back the burning rain
That SCARED the cities OF the plain,
read rs on a crimson page
The words Of Israel's sceptred sage
For riches make them ,cings, and they
Do as an eagle fly a,oay.
O vision Of that sleepless night,
What hue shall paint the mocking light
That burned and stained the orient skies
Where peaceful morning loves to rise.
AS il the sun had lost his way
And dawned to make 4 second day.
Above now red with fiery glow,
How dark to those it woke below!
On roof and wall, on dome and spirc.
Flashed the false jewels of the fire;
Girt with her belt Of glittering panes,
And crowned with strengthening vanes,
Our northern queen in glory shone
With newborn splendors not her own,
And stood, transfxured in our eyes,
A viceim decked for sacrifice
The cloud still hovers overhead,
And still the midnight sky ia rcd,
As the lost wandorer strsys alone
To seek the place he called his own,
His devious footprints sadly tell
How changed the pathways known 50 we'll
The scene, how new! The tale, how old
Ere yet the ashes have grown cold!
Again read the words that came
Writ in the rubric Of the fame;
Howe'er We trust to mortal things,
Each hath it's pair Of folded wings;
Though long their torrors rest unspread.
Their fatal plumes are never shed;
AT last, at last, they stretch in fight,
And blot the day and blast the nighti
Hope, only Hope, OF all that cllngs
Around us, never spreads her wings;
Love, though he breaks his earthly chain,
Still whispers he will come again;
But faith that scars to seek tho sky
Shall teach our halt-hedged souls to fly,
And find, beyond the smoke and fame,
The cloudless azure whence they camel

storms and Floods I'm Germany.

A German correspondent writes as
follows of the great tempest on the
North Sea and Baltic coast:
We will attempt to give some idea of
the terrible devastation occasioncd by
the high tide and fearful storm from
the northwest on the 18th of Novem-
Der. This tide, which reached it's
greatest height on the coast of Schles-
wig at about 9 o'clock at night, was
the greatest ever known on the shores
of the Baltic, exceeding the great tide
of 1864 by 16 inches in height, and
that OF 1885 by 80 inches. The water
rose about II feet above the mean Leg.
ell of the sea on the shores OF
the Baltic, which are quite nm.
sheltered. An inundation could not fail
to take place, against which all human
exertions and precautions were utterly
powerless. In the small town of Ap-
enrode alone, 80 houses have become
uninbabitab1e, and nearly 2SO families
have not roof over their heads The
news from Eckernforde is still worse,
Entire streets have been literally ami
hilated, while many of the buildings
left standing a1e undermined. The ex-
act number of dwellings, totally de.
stroyed in Eckernforde cannot yet be
ascertained, but it will not fall short OF
100. Hundreds of inhabitants lost
everything. The news from the dis
trict of Gutenberg is most saddening.
On the Island of Femarn the sea broke
through all the dykes, and, out of forty
two villages, the fields and property Of
only eleven escaped the food.
The entire coast of Western Pome-
rania aud the Island of Bugen, with
it's projecting peninsulas, and the small
er islands lying around it, have also
most severely suffered The long and
narrow island of Hiddensoe, near Ru-
gen, through which the sea once before
forced its way, has been divided into
two parts by a channel seventeen feet
deep. Two villages were completely
inundated, and had to be abandoned
by their inhabitants, numbering fifty
seven families. Vitte was also entirely
covered by the sea, and it's inhabitants,
seventy families, had to be rescued
from the garrets by boats. Provisions,
winter stores of all kinds, and fuel
have been washed away or spoiled, and
the wells are useless on account of the
salt water with which they are filed.
