equal to from 400 TO 300 pounds Of any other

An enormous engineering work. in progress
to provide Baltimore with water, the present

is to be brought through tunnel seven iniies ,
long cut through q mountain. ms WI %
the longest tunnel in America, circular IN
shape, aud twelve feet in diameter. rive
miles of the distance is very bard rock, ana
the drilling is done by mammal LABOR, power
drills being imprncticabls in such small

Fifteen shafts have been sunk The cost fs
estimated At So 000, 900, about 500 men are
EN- ployed and the tunnel will probably be
com mpleted in three years. The employees are
mainly negroes, who live in miserable log
cabins; aud the contractor says that his
greatest difficulty is not of an engineering
kind but comes of drunkepess among these
men. Liquor dealears iufest the temporary
villages with portable bars, and sell vile

THE BUTT TESTIMONIAL.

The Butt Testimonial Fund was swelled last
Sunday by the contributions of the people In
the dioceses of Limerick and Waterford. Col.
lections were taken up a. the various chapel
doors by direction with the consent of the
bishops of those diooeses, and, although IA deh-
mite figures have yet to arrive, it 10 already
known that the amount subscribed is con-
adorable, and not unworthy either of Mr.
Butts services or of the people in whose be-
half those services have been performed: Thus
Thurlss, $50, and so on. One of our contem
poraries has commented on the comparative
smalluess of these contributions; but when 1t
is reooileoted taat they are but hrst instal,
ments, the point of the observations referred
to is not very evident.

merchant will sell his goods for less than eost and
that when anyone Processes TO do so there mast be
