Another Submarine Tunnel.

Stimulated doubtless by the project
of joining England to the Continent by
q subway under the Straits Of Dover,
which has arrived at its first practical
stage, Madrid pamphleteer purposes
to tunnel the Straits Of Gibraltar, and
unite Europe with Africa, while turn
ing the flank Of the fortress of Gibraltar
on the English occupation of which the
Spaniards have long looked with an evil
eye. He suggests that the passage
should commence between Tarita and
Algesiras on the Spanish and come out
between Ceuta and Tangiers, on the
African side. The submarine part Of
this tunnel would be little more than
third Of the length Of that between
England and France. On the other
hand, as the maximum depth Of the sea
at the point in question is 500 fathoms,
and as it is proposed to leave 300 feet Of
rock between the arch Of the tunnel and
the sea bottom, the tunnels of approach
would have to be nearly six miles long
on each side. The cost is estimated as
about four millions sterling. 1t is very
questionable, however few theengineer-

could ever become q commercial success;

Indians are the only persons allowed
to pass as "deadheads' over the railroads
and referring to this fact the Virginia
Chronicle relates an incident as follows:
"An incident took place yesterday
which will cause the railroad authori-
ties to make more careful inspection
Of these deadheads. After the arrival
Of the train an Indian was seen to enter
a shed with large bundle. His man
ner excited suspicion, and man was
detailed to watch him. The fellow on
getting inside the shed, proceeded to
strip off his old leggins, moccasins and
other aboriginal paraphernalia and
put on the garb of civilization, If not of
gentility. He then took out bottle of
water, wet q handkerchief, washed the
paint of his face, and lol he was no
longer an Indian, but a white man who
had been stealing free ride from Reno
in the disguise Of an aboriginal. In
consideration Of his ingenuity he was
allowed to pass without molestation.
He will experience some difficulty in re-
turning that way however.

General Garfield, the staunch Ohio
Congressman, has won great victory.
Every county in his district shows Re-
publican gains. The Democrats have
tried to drive him out of politics by pre-
ferring very serious charges against his
integrity. He has overcome all slander
and stands before the country with a
certificate Of vindication from constit-
uency that is remarkable for intelligence
and honesty in the next Congress, which
will miss Blaine, Wheeler and George
F. Hoar, General Garfield will come
the nearest, probably, to being the
leader of the Republican wing Of the
House than any other man in it. Gen.
]. d. Cox, elected from the Toledo dis
trict, will also take very high stand.
