UNDERGROJND LONDON.

Great as London is, one only sees
half of 1t, for the reason that half of
it is underground. An engineer being
lately ordered to direct the laying of an
additional pipe in a leading street of
the great metropolis, stated that there
was no place to put it, or to dig in order
to lay it, as the ground was all occupied.
There were sewers, underground rail
ways, water mains, gas mains, each with
service pipes, telegraph wires pneumatic
tubes and police telegraph wires there
already. No wonder the ground was
all occupied. There were tubes Of
stone, iron, brick, cement, lead, felt
and gutta-percha. One underground
railway has thirteen underground sta
tions. Pneumatic tubes for conveying
packages and mail matter, extend all
over the city. There are no less than
two thousand five hundred miles of drain
pipes, many of them of size to permit
boat to sail in them, or to enable men
co walk upright. Besides all these
things underground, there is a single
cellar that covers five ard half acres.
There are also seven wine vaults that
would extend over twenty miles if
placed in connection.

MAR VELOUS.

A boy medium is giving spiritualistic
scances in Boston, and his powers Of
supernaturalism or trickery are great.
He uses the usual cabinet, which hides
his movements from the audience. Put
into it with a rope in his lap, in one
minute he is so intricately tied that five
minutes is consumed by the committee
in untying him. A coat is sewed upon
him so tight around that the circumfer-
ence is less than that of his head !;
but in twinkling it is off without a
stitch having been broken. Waxed cords
are tied so firmly around his wrists that
they cut into the flesh, and his hands
thus fastened behind him are bound to
staple. Then his head is tied to
another staple, and his feet to another.
Thus hampered, he is shut up with a
knife in his pocket. Upon reopening
the door the cords are found cut from
the staples, leaving intact those which
encircle his wrists. Other of his per-
formances are equally hard to explain.
His name is De Witt, and his mother
controls the exhibition, which is highly
remunerative.

THE SEAL.

The fair ladies who reyel in seal skin
jackets know very little of the animals
who had prior right to their possessions.
Seals we found everywhere except in the
tropics. They swim with wonderful
swiftness, pursuing their fnny prey.
and besides fish crustacea, and mol
luscs, they often surprise sea fowl and
have been known to devour seaweed.
Their young are born on uninhabited
islands, barren rocks, and in caverns,
and are at first covered with short
wool, in which dress they do not enter
the water, but the mother seals, who
are very affectionate and attentive, be-
stow immense pains in getting them
down to the sea and teaching them to
swim, for they do not take readily to
the water. Without these little animals,
the wandering tribes of Esquimaux
could not exist. Of their skins they
make warm clothing, covering for their
boats, and lining for their couches
from their blubber they extract oil for
food, for light, for warmth and cooking;
from their bones they make harpoons,
fish hooks, and other useful articles
from their entrails they form water
proof cloth, and substitute for glass
to light their summer dwellings. There
perseverance and endurance in pursuit
of their prey. They are assisted by
dogs of wonderful sagacity, working the
ground over like pointers till they catch
the scent of the seal holes through the
snow. If an Esquimaux gets between
seal and its hole it is Immediately trans
fixed by the harpoon with stunning
blow.

EQUALIZATION OF BOUNTIEs.

The Senate Military Committee on the
Sd inst. agreed to report bill equaliz-
ing soldiers bounties. The bill intro
duced by Senator Caldwell last session
will probably be made the basis of the
new bill. Thebill of Senator Caldwellpro-
vides that to every soldier of the United
Statesarmy whoserved atany time during
the rebellion, between the 18th day of
April, 1861, and the 18th of April, 1865,

Ger, private, musician, or artifcer, in
either the regular or volunteer service,
there shall be paid bounty at the rate of
eight and third dollars per menth
that all paymentsin the nature of bounty
heretofore made for the same service to
parties applying for the benefit of this
act, shall be deducted from the amount
due under the provisions of the first Sec
ton of this act; that all persons who
have died in the service of the United
States previous to the expiration of their
terms of enlistment, or who shall have
been honorably discharged from the
service of the United States by reason Of
their services beingno longer needed, or
on account of wounds received or disa
bility incurred in the service of the
United States, shall be considered as
having served out their full term of en-
listment, or 80 much of it as would have
been subsequent to the 18th of April,
1861, in computing the term of their
service under this act that in case of
the death of any one, who, ii living,
would have been entitled to the benefits
of this act, the amount due such person
under this act shall be paid first to his
widow, if he left one, who remains un-
married at the time of her application

TIE stories which have been in ci

THE stories which have been in cir
culation about the poverty of Louis
Kossuth are contradicted. Louis Rutt-
kay, a cousin of the Hungarian patriot,
living at Des Moines, Iowa, writes to
the Chicago papers, saying that his re-
lative is in comfortable circumstances.
He has two sons who are successful en-
gineers, and whose incomes are ample
to support their father in comfort, did
he need their assistance. His health Is
said te be remarkable good, and he is
continually receiving gratifying tokens
from his countrymen that his patriotic
efforts on their behalf are still fresh in
their memory.

KEY WEST.

OF late a good deal of attention has
been drawn to the city of Key West.
The island on which it is situated is
seven miles long, and averages about q
mile and a half wide. 1t is the only one
of the Florida Keys that has ever been
put on the market, the others being
Government property. The first settle
ment was commenced in 1922, but it re-
mained a small village, peopled by poor
wreckers, fishermen and sponge-gather-
ers, till 1860, when it contained popu-
lation of 1900. The civil war and the
Cuban troubles served to give it promi-
nence. 1t now has population of
10000. The city is finely laid out, and
contains many costly buildings, many of
them erected by Government. Tropical
trees of various kinds give beauty and
charm to the place. There are several
very wealthy residents. Stephen R.
Mallory, Senator from Florida, and Sec
retary of the Navy under the Confed-
eracy, lived here. The late Prof. Agas-
siz once spent winter at Key West in
pursuit of health and scientific investi-
cation. The principal business on the
island is the manufacture of cigars, of
which 25,OOO,OO0 are made every year.
About 1000 Cuban refugees live on the
island, and furnish most of the workmen
in the cigar factories. In each of the
larger factories a person is employed to
read to the men who are at work.

THE poor continue to be plundered
by the banking corporations, known as
savings institutions. Recently IN Phila-
delphia, the Franklin Savings Fund
closed its doors displaying the following
placard: =" Closed by order of the United
States Court" The greater part of its
depositors we're poor people, as the in
stitution paid q larger rate of interest
than could be obtained elsewhere.
Churches, charitable institutions, and
children had funds in the institu-
ton, and now all fare alike. An institu-
ton gotten up for the purpose of plum
dering the poor, the lame, the halt and
the blind of large city, by holding out
a seductive bait in the shape Of high
rates of interest, needs more than
passing notice at the hands of the
United States Court, and should be
made to disgorge even to the last penny
of their M-gotten gains. Z

A FARMER'S SONG.

We envy not the princely man,
In city or in town.
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Run up the hill or down;
-Ws care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet Lis heaps of gold,
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth thrice told.
We are the favored ones of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn,
We sow-we reap the golden grain
We gather in the corn;
We tol-we live on what We earn,
And more than this we do
We hear of starving millions round,
And gladly feed them too.
The lawyer lives on princely fees,
Yet drags q weary life,
He never knows peaceful hour
His atmosphere is strife.
The merchant thumbs his yardstick DER,
Grows ragged at his toll
He's not the man God meant him for
Why don't you till the soil?
The doctor plods through storm and cold,
Plods at his patients will, --.
When dead and gone he piods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer (bless his noble soul y
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps it on our daily sheet,
To cheer the farmers hearth.
We sing the honor of the plough,
And honor to the press,
Two noble instruments of toll,
With each power to bless.
The bone-the nerve of this fast age
True wealth of human kind
One tiils the ever generous eaath,
The other tils the mind.

Indian, as is we'll known, loves his dog,

THERE is gentleman in this town of
the name of Jones, says the Eureka
New Sentinel, whose beard is three
feet three inches long. 1t is of splendid
growth, almost as soft and as fine as a
lady's hair, and is really a curiosity in
its way. Mr.. Jones stands six feet and
one inch high, and his beard, when Ill
lowed its liberty, strikes him about the
knees. He seldom, however, makes q
display of it. He usually keeps it
braided and confined within his shirt
bosom, SO that persons seeing him on
the street would not dream that his
beard was of more than ordinary length.
