A BOLD PROJECT.
A Railway to be Run Across the Wengern
Ain


Alp.
In the Pail Mali Gazette it is stated that q
Swi.s Association, known az tie "Sociste
de Construction, has taken measure for car
rying line of metals over the Wengern
Alp. The scheme is to carry an ordinary
line out of Interlaken, connecting i; first
with the new railroad Just made for the
Thun traffic, up the valley of the Lutschins
to the hamle; known as Zseilutschinen,
where the two streams coming from the
Lanterbach and Grindelwald valley meet
Here il is TO fork into two separate lines, one
to each of those favoIi.e resorts, and n
mountain line carried over all the sleeper
parts of the Wergsrn Alp on precisely the
same principle thst has succeeded 20 admir-
ably on the Rigi, is to connect their Two
extremi,ies. TIE calculation of the design
ers is that 500, 900 travellers now 60 annually
to or through Interlaken, it may be reck-
oned that one out Of FIVE would desire to
make a trip thus prepared for them at least
up one of the valleys. And if two
thirds of these, or forty thousand in all,
were to follow the Route completely. q
handsome profit would be realized. Every
thing has been GO: ready for carrying out
the project but the capital. Unfortunately
for some reason or other, Swiss Investors
land Swifs railroads are chiefly made by
these) are shy of the speculation, and for
this year at least, travellers who desire to see
the wonders of the fall at the L,uterbach,
and the glacier which is the glory of tie
Grindelwald, must avail themselves, a. be-
fore, of the hardly used animals that form
part of the stock in trade of the Interlaken
hotel keeper.

much pains to conceal the fact as if it
were a deadly sin, and heaven had not
implanted within our bosoms the tender
spark and babe US TO love and be loved. ,
Is this natural? No, it is artificial Why
should innumerable marriages be pre-
vented by chilling rules and penalties?
Nature is modest, but she is not a
starched-up prude! Look at the birds.
There are no old bachelors and old maids
among them. The hearts that futter I'M
der their feather jackets follow the in
stinct of love, and they take to billing
and cooling without the slightest idea that
courtship should be formal affair. WHY
should there be forlorn bachelors and
disappointed old maids, and lonely wild
ows and widowers among the unfeathered
any more than the feathered bipeds?
Oceans of happiness are lost to both
sexes every year simply because parties
who wish to be married are not permit
ted by etiquette to make the fact known.
These unfortunates might very properly
say to the happy married folks. as the
frogs said to the boys who were pelting
them with stones, This may be fun to
you, but it's death to us"

One-Legged Pants and Cavalry Boots

A one-legged soldier walking up the
Bowery was accosted by a clothing
merchant with the usual " Sell Won some
tings today" Entering the store the
veteran was invited to inspect the LARGE
stock, but having looked through the
array of coats and vests and trousers he
turned to 90, saying that he saw nothing
there that would suit him.
"VelI, vat you vants:"
q want pair Of one-legged panta-
looms"
"Vos dat all? Yacob, bring me one of
dem one-legged gray pants on dot pile in
the corner"
In few minutes Jacob returned and
reported that the last pair had been sold.
Meanwhile the partner next door who
had been listening through the thin par
tition had mapped out a plan of campaign
against the one-legged cripple. "Yohn, )"
he whispered to an attendant, "cut me
off de leg of one Of dem gray pants. Send
him up quick"
By the time this had been done the
soldier had hobbled out of the first store
only to be inveigled into the second.
Again he went through the inspection of
odds and ends, and again demanded
one-legged trousers, intimating that he
didn't believe the trader had them.
Not hat one-legged pants! Fadder
Moses! vat you takes me for? Yohn,
bring me one of dem one-legged gray
pants in dot pile in de back of de
sthore."
The newly altered trousers were pro-
duced, and the waggish soldier gave
himself up as lost But as he spread
them before him he became conscious,
as did the dealer, of something wrong.
"Fadder Abraham! John! you hat
ruin me! You hat cut off de wrong leg!"
Another of the Chatham street dealers
had what he called army brogans and
cavalry boots. An eX-soldier purchased
pair of the latter one rainy day, but
returned to the store within few min
utes, complaining that the soles were Of
pasteboard and had already soaked to a
pulp.
Vot you vas done nit dem boots?"
asked the dealer.
Why, l walked two or three blocks y
Walk! You walk in dem boots! Wy,
