American Inventions.

In respect TO notable inventive
achievements during the La. hsndrcd
years, America is far ahead of any other
nation. The cotton gin, without which
the machine spinner and the power
loom would be helpless, is American.
The power shuttle, which permits an
unlimited enlargement Of the bresdth
of the web, is American. The planning
machine is American. Navigation by
steam is American. The mower and
reaper are American. The rotary print
ing presses are American. The hot-air
engine is American. The sewing ma
chine is American. The machine manu-
facture of wool cards is American. The
whole india-rubber industry is Ameri-
can. The hand.saw originated in Amer
ica. The machine manufacture oi
horse-shoes is American. The sand
blast, of which the large capabilities are
yet to b. developed, is American. The
gauge lathe is American. The only
successful composing. machine for print
ers is American. The grain elevator is
American. Tho artificial manufacture
of ice originated in America. The
electro magnet was invented, and i'm,
mediately after its invention was first
practically applied in transmitting te!e'
graphic signals by Prof. Henry, an
American; and the telegraphic instru
ment introduced few years later into
public use, which has since obtained
universal acceptance, was invented by
Prof, Morse.

A Veritable BluebeOrd.

A more modern Bluebeard than the
one we are accustomed TO read Of, has
been discovered in Grenada, Spain. Or
rather his memory and misdeeds only
are discovered, for he has been dead
for some years. In q mass of ruins, un-
dergoing reconstruction, was found q
subterranean passage l35 feet long, cut
through the solid rock, upon which the
house.w was built. A party Of explorers
followed il out and found at the end
seven female skeletons. They are sup
posed to have lain there Fifty or sixty
years, and as the owner of the house-
a Portuguese Jew, named Isaac Pedro
Corne-was at the time Of his death a
widower, having had nine wives, it is
naturally supposed that he assisted the
POOR ladies out of the world after the
manner of the terrible Bluebeard. The
discovery created great excitement, and
will doubtless furnish materials for
many thrilling tale.

The Great Tunnel Commenced.

John Bull will not be content until
he can go to France dry -shod. For many
years the project of bridging or tunnel
ing Dover Straits has been considered,
and various are the schemes that have
been brought forward to accomplish
this object. The best engineering skill
has been employed, and the most care.
full examinations and estimates have
been made, with a view of determining
its practicability and probable cost. The
necessity for such work is more and
more felt each succeeding year, and the
enormous traffic now in passengers and
freight seems to demand that the work
be undertaken. It is an enterprise of
vast proportions, and will require an
enormous outlay and consume many
years before it can be completed.
The various plans for bridging the
channel, including the visionary scheme
of suspending the structure on balloons,
We believe, are all abandoned, and the
only practicable method of getting a
railway across to France will be to 20
under the sea. The work, therefore, of
cutting tunnel has at last been en-.
tered upon, and company has been
organized and registered in London for
commencing the work. About CO, ,O0O OG0
will be first expended in sinking shafts
and thc roughly testing the feasibility of
plans. If the experimental snaits prove
successful, books will be opened for
further subscriptions to the stock, and
the work will be pushed vigorously.
The completion is only a question of
time. Five years have been thought
sufficient, but it seems hardly possible
that SO gigantic an undertaking can be
accomplished in SO short space. The
cutting will be comparatively easy, un-
less the geologists are at fault; for the
only resistance is said to be soft chalk
rock that can be easily bored. There
will necessarily be great danger con-
nectcd with the work, from the liability
of letting in the sea and the difficulty
of securing ventilation during the prog.
ress of excavation. When completed,
the tunnel will be twenty three miles in
length, and fresh air will probably have
to be forced through its entire length
by artificial means. Ii modern ~engin-
cering is able to provide for this, there
can be no doubt of the success of the
undertaking.
Both countries are expected 10 join
in the expense of the enterprise, but
the laboring oar will fall to England,
since the finances of France have been
SO severely crippled in the war with
Prussia. This is probably, ali things
considered, the most gigantic and diff
cult piece of engineering that was ever

able to explain this dream, which was
certainly q remarkable one, though
doubtless no more so than others could
relate. But / am satisfied that this
dream was the means of saving many
human lives from sudden and most
terrible death.

She would not rouge for all tho world.
Though "tint" she never had;
She would net use that powder stuff

With such skin it would be used
By any other girl.
I remember. whilst we wander'd

We saw, in white array,
Teeth of pearly splendor.
But they had ne cLarm for her;
And she said. in accents scornful.

Though I can't say whero or Why).
Ny attention was arrested.
Twas my loved one breathed o sigh.
She was looking full Of pity.
But no trace of scorn was there.
And her gentle eye was leveld
At heap Of yellow hair.
Her tender heart is melted
Toward that falsely -fashion'd belle:
Then I. looking. thought, No wonder
That gentle heart might well-"
Oh. thins so false and foolish.
She never could be call'd,
She's truth itself-I swear it
But then she's nearly bald"
She's neither false nor foolish,
She's not made up-oh, mol
On a woman so deserving.
Say. what praise can we best0w?
Her sacrifice is noble.
Her conduct all that's right;
A very perfect woman,
But o very awful fright!

The James River and Kanawha Canal.
1t will DO seen from IN article COPIED in
another column that the New York Herald
now takes issue with President GRAST as to
the propriety Of the question Of, extending
Government aid to this great work Of inter-
nal Improvement being even considered by
Congress. The RsraId's opinion, though,
will have little weight with those who re-
member that the same paper one week ago,
in much ADLER article, argued In favor of
the proposition which it now opposes.
A special telegram to the Petersburg In
der. which Is from well-informed source,
Indicates that the friends of the canal In
Congress are active and hopeful. 1t is stated
that bin on the subject has been prepared
By Representative Medley, of Pennsylvania,
and will be introduced into the House to.
dag. In Its leading features 1t is based on
the bill introduced by Representative srE-
vEssos Of the last session, and on the sug.
gestions Of the Engineer Bureau. ea'.t
''Mr. Negley's bill provides for the con-
struction OF the canal by the engineer off,
GERS Of the United States, and for an appro-
l,riation of $4,000, 900, but the work is not TO
be begun until the States of Virginia and
West Virginia shall have relinquished their
own rights Ia the canal, aud shall have pro-
Nided also for the purchase or condemnation
OF the private stock TO be coded to the United
States that the Government shall acquire full
title and control. The work, as ilst as CON-
pleted, Is to be turned over to Board OF
Commissioners, one Of whom Is to be chosen
by each OF the following States: Iowa, Mis-.
souri,, Wisconsin. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky
Ohio, Virginia, and West Virgins. The
