truth OF the sentiment, We fear, will be learned

be the great nation that our fathers hoped would

REroRrs from Little Rock state that thu
crisis had passed. A truce had been agreed
"pon and the forcos were disbanding. Gov.
Baxter has proclaimed an extra session of the
legislature for Monday, May IL. This course
Las been taken after consultation with the
authorities at Washington, and after the re-
ceipt of the following dispatch from the Pres
iient:
WAsu1SaroN, April "a, 1874.
10 Hon. Elisha Baxter:
he heartily approve any adjustment peaceably

and protection can under the constitution
and laws Of tho United States, to such modes
Of adjustment. hope that the military
forces OH both sides will now tlisband.
(Signed) U. 8. GRANT.
Dispatches Of the 24th Of April from 1ittl.
Rock are, in substance, ~ follows: Baxter
seems to bo desirous Of peaceablo ,ettlement
Of the difficulty by referring it to tho legislative
representatives Of the people, and has called
an extra session Of the legislature for tho pur-
pose. Brooks holds that Baxter has no power
to call the legi 'asure together, and was on
gagged in erecting barricades and powerful mag
aznes in the rear Of the state house. Some Of
his troops have gone home. Gov. Baxter has
stopped sending his men home. Both forces
as to numbers, are pretty equally divided.
Baxter's are now nearly all white men, aud
Brooks mostly colored. Gov. Baxter tele-
graphs the President II have sent home
part of my forces, and would willingly send
; the balance, except = small body-guard, but
. Brooks retains his whole force, and receives re-
inforcements." Baxter's Secretary Of State,
Col. johnson, had made demand ON Brooks
for tho public buildings Of which tho Secretary
il custodian, but had received no reply.

Weather-Proof Wash for Nood.

According to Kuhr, cheap and con-
venient reddish brown coating of fer
roeyanide of copper canbe formed upon
wood, which not only adheres firmly
and resists the weather, but also pre-
serves the wood by keeping it free from
moss, etc., as we'll as from injurious in
sects. To produce this result, wash the
surface previously brushed with . 90
luton of half pound of yellow prus-
state of potash in a gallon of water)
with q solution of one pound of blue
yitriol in a gallon of water. The shade
can be regulated by varying the strength
of the solutions. Since the wood is
stained rather than covered, its texture
remains somewhat visible, which is not
Objectionable, and by coating it with
linseed oil varnish not only its durabil-
ity is increased, but a gloss is impaired,
without which it is rather dull.

TunneliDE Nia8ara.

"Shooting Niagara" is to be super
seeded by "Tunneling Niagara" A bill
has been introduced into the New York
Legislature forming company with a
million and half capital to build q
bridge, or tunnel, from the city of
Buffalo to or near Fort Erie, on the
other side Of the Niagara river. The
Buffalo Courier says of it.:
The design of the prejectors of this
company, We are given to understand,
has in view primarily the tunnel expe-
dent, and there can be no doubt that
such work, if within the limits of the
practicable, has numerous important
advantages as compared with . bridge.
Some twenty years ago the scheme VA
ably advocated by MI. Wallace, the en-.
gineer, who satisfied himself by careful
surveys that . tunnel could be con
structed from q point on this side o1
the river at or near jersey street. Hi
estimate of the cost of the undertaking
at that time was 81, ,000, 900, . sun
which would probably need to b<
doubled or trebled to-day.
The scheme, a. 1t present revived
we suppose would nrturally fall int
line with the crosstown railway project
and it would certainly add immensely
to the Importance and facilities Of Buf
falo as a railroad center. Had it beer
carried into execution when first broach
ed by Mr.. Wallace, the Suspension
bridge would never have been built and
Buffalo would have had very different
business history. Al it is, tho recent
construction OF the Canada Southern,
and the need of direct access to Buffalo
on the part of the Great Western Of
Canada, create = pressing demand fol
more facilities of transit than the Inter.
national bridge can fuznish. It does
not seem improbable that one or both
of these roads, and perhaps others with
them, might be induced to take hold Of
the tunnel project and bring to it the
necessary capital. The incorporation
named in the bill comprise many of 0u1
substantial citizens and some promi
nent railroad men.
