reports are to be credited, the
Vienna Exhibition has rot 30 far
proved successful. The Vienncse
were in too much Of a hurry to
empty the pockets of strangers,
andithe report oftheir exorbitant
charges spread far and wide. The
bills OF fare at the hotels have
been increasing from day to day,
a dollar and u half being the lat
est charge for q tolerable break
fast, and twenty cents for getting
boots BACKED. Americans will
be interested in the announcement
that the proprietor of hotel built
expressly for transatlantic visitors
openly avows his intention to get
all his money back during the
season of the exhibition. Extor-
ton seemed to be the order of
the day in Vienna, and after all
it may not have been all native
corruption that infected our Com
missiOners.

A SCHEME is now on foot for
running a tunnel through the
Rocky Mountains. This may seem
prodigious cnterpris at first to the
casual reader, but the parties who
have the matter in hand are san
guinefo the most complete success.
The idea is to tunnel the noun
tains from a point abont one mile
below Black Hawk to the Middle
Park, runningin a northwcsternly
direction. The tunnel to be run
will, it is presumed, cut many a
rich veins of gold and silver. and
thus a great mining interest be
developed. Money for the prose-
cution of the work is furnished by
English capitalists, who arc san
guine of tho enterprise. Some
idea OF the magnitude Of the task
may be gathered from the fact
that the tunnel, ifcompletcd, will
he twelve miles in length. 1t is
intended to make it large enough
TO be used for railway purposes,
and 80 If road is ever to be con.
structed to the Middle Park,
it will find it's most convenient
ronte through the tunnel. 1t will
be called the Sierra Nader Tun-
mol Company, and the incorpor-
alton paper for its organization
have already been filed.

AN old German named Charles
Sonnenbacky, well known as the
"old lame milkman," 70 years OF
age, committed suicide in a piece
Of woods east of Sixth street, East
Saginaw, on " ednesday morning,
by hanging himself to a tree.
The deceased was addicted to
drinking, and on Thursday night
refused to enter his house, sleep
ing in the barn. In the morning
lie proceeded to the woods alone,
and sometime after his lifeless
body was found suspended from
a tree with clothes. line, one foot
barely touching the ground. The
deceased had several daughters
and one son, all of them said to
he in comfortable circumstances,
and it is reported that they all re-
fused to see the remains upon
being notified of their fathers
death, and also refused to take the
trouble or bear any expense OF his
burial. Coroner Forrest impan-
neled a jury and held an inquest,
a verdict of death by hanging,
produced by his own hand, having
been rendered. The only friend
the old man had was his faithful
dog, which remained with the
corpse when it was deserted by
the old mans children.
A young man named Kemp,
aged 10 years, was drowned in
Pine River, Saginaw county. A
party of men and boys were play
ing on lot of logs when one OF
the party slipped and fell in.
Young Kemp jumped in to rescue
HIM and was drowned, while the
the party to whose assistance he
went was saved.

sound like that dripping clap
board from the side OF a barn,
while oil the ladies to the right
side OF the aisle tip their top knots
on one side and squint from their
left eyes, those on the other side
reversing the order. Balancing
painfully on his worst corn, he

harmonic reverberance like linked

Then he tries to navigate on the
balls OF HE feet, and waddles along
on his heels. He clutches convul-
sively at the sides Of the pcws to
tighten his weight, knocks down a
woman's parasol, and gets all the
deacons to raise their BALI heads
and skin across their forcheads,
and scowling as they do the rest
of the week. So he determines
TO mince the matter no more, aud
trots along fast, jerking out spas
modic "shrieks of a soul that'e
