Tunnelln5 Niagara.

Shooting" Niagara is to lie superseded

introduced in to the New Yo:k legislature
forming a company with II million and a
half capital to build "a bridge, or tunnel,
from the clty OF BufnIo tc or near Tort
Erie, on the other side Of the .fiagara
river. The Buffalo Courier says ct it:
The design of the projectors of his COM
pany, we are given to understand has il
view primarily the tunnel expelient, and
there can be no bouht that such work, if
within tic limits of the practicable, has
numerous important advantages as com
pared with a L,id-e. Some twenty years
ago the scheme was ally advocated oy Mr..
Wallace, the engineer, who satisfied him,
self By careful surveys that a tunnel could
the river ut or near JERSEY street. lis est-
mate of the cost of the undertaking at that
time WAS 100000, sum which would
probably need .o be doaaled c. trebled tc-
day.
The scheme, rs ct present revived, we
suppose would naturally fall into line with
The crosstown railway project, and 1t would
certainly add immensely to tie Importance
ard facili,'es Of Rnfia.o az Il railroad CEN
ter. Had it been carried INTO execution
when first aroachcd by Mr.. Wallace, the
Suspension bridge would never have ieen
built and Bufialo would have had a very
different business history. As it is, the
regent construction Of the Canaln Southern
and the need Of direct access tn Buf,ln on
the part at the Great Western Of Cara la q,
crea tie pressing demand FIR more facilities
of transit than the International bridge
can furnish. 1t does net seem imp, uhahle
that one ur both of these roads, aud per-
Laps a;hers with hem, might be induced
to take held Of tnt tunnel project and
bring to i. the necessary capital. The in
corrorators named in the bill comprise
many Of our substantial Citizens and spme
prominent railroad men.

The Art of the ClaQUe.

In the Persian theateIs, there is usually
a body of persons hired TO vociferously ap-
plaud certain actors. They are called
claqers, and sit ia the pit, but are undis-
,ingri>hatle from the rest Of the spectators.
On one cccasiaa, Mile Rachel complained
that the claqu. had failed in its duty. She
was representing a new character. The
first night, the applause was all that could
be expected; hut next night i, fell fni short
of the proper amount IF enthusiasm. In
answer to her complaint, she was :nforme''
that the head Of the cla Tue was i'll at the
moment, and that he had bees obliged to
get bis place temporarily taken by Il COZ
frere from theatre % the houlevardS.
This latter parsonage having heard the
complaint, wrote to the great actress the
following jastiicato.y epistle; "Made

BETTER THINGS.

Better the love of a gentle heart. thin
beauty's favors proud;
Better the roses living seed, than roses
in a crowd,
Better to love in loneliness, than bask
in love all day;
Better the fountain in the heart, than
the fountain by the way.
Better be fed by mothers hand, than
eat alone ut will;
Better to trust in God, than say, My
goods my store- house fill.
Better sit at masters feet, than thrill
listening state;
Better suspect that thou art proud
than be sure that thou art great.
Better to walk in realm unseen, than
watch the hours event
Better the ,oeU done at the last, than
the air with shoutngs rent
Better to have a quiet grief, than
hurryiDg delight;
Better the twilight Of the dawn, than
the MONDAY burning bright.
Better de I'll when the work is done,

Better child In Gods great house, than
