Antipodes.

Night fills our OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
And golden planets round and clear,
Like myriad watch-fres hung on high,
Burn III the hollow vault of sky.
And, gazing up at them, / seem
To live within world of dream,
As though my life had strangely grown
Then, turning to the earth, see
Vague waves of mountain-land and lea,
And forest solitudes that loom
Through depths of oyershadowing gloom.
And yonder, when pale moonlight falls
Down dusky avenues and walls,
A million hearts together beat
Some wild and fierce, some low and sweet
All! this is night, supreme, profound,
And calm as waters underground,
When sleep with tender beauty bowers
Hearts heavy with the weight of hours.
Yet, while l muse, my thoughts are borne
Through spacious labyrinths of morn
To ancient continents over seas
Peopled with our antipodes:
And in this vision l behold
Broad, luminous lands laid fold on fold,
And heights that lift their peaks of snow
Above green meadow-ways below;
I see gay, stately cities, where
Day breathes upon the languid air,
And intermingled domes and spires
That CLEAN afar like purple fires.
Above me drops the misty blue
OF sky, where no star glimmers through,
While the calm, Summer sunlight filings
Bloom over all the face of things:
Thus day in radiant splendor thrives,
When night lies soft on sleeping lives;
And the round earth forever seems
Two worlds like two inimitable dreams.

A Tunnel Costing -Four Million Dol.
lars.

The Virginia City New Chronicle
says: Ground was broken for the Sutro
tunnel on the 10Th Of October, 1869.
The work has therefore required eight
years, eight months and ten days to com
plete. The progress was very slow at
first, all drilling having been by hand;
but in the spring of 1874, experiments
with a Burleigh drill having demonstrate
ed the advantages to be derived from the
use of that machine, a carriage capable of
supporting six of those drills while at
work was made, and on the 22d day of
June, 1874, four were started The progress
was now much more rapid than ever be-
fore In the history of tunneling in the
world, and on August 7, in the same
year, two more drills were put to work.
this made six altogether. From that
date the average progress was over 300
feet per month to up April. 1877, when,
the header having entered the broad
Comstock mineral belt, the heat became
SO intense that two drills had to be taken
off the carriage. From that day the aver
age monthly progress did not exceed
$50 feet. Work has been continued I'M
| interruptedly from the time that ground
was broken until to-day,at times only two
| men were at work in the tunnel. The
greatest progress was in December. 1875,
when the heading was advanced All
| feet, and the least in October when it
| was only advanced nineteen feet. The
| total length of the tunnel, as stated in
the official chart published last Septemb-
er, is 20,27O feet. The tunnel being con-
nected with the Comstock workings, the
next move of Mr.. Sutro will doubtless be
to start north and south drifts to connect
with all the mines on the lode. The
work has cost naerly $4,OO0,000.
