The Queen of tbe Lo66y.

When we left Philadelphia In the early morning, I nouced among the passengers who had joined us there 8 lady who had for some years past been known here in Washington as The Queen of the Lobby" Age adds to her personal charms, and I could but nouce her as she sat gracefully yet proudly, as a thrOned sovereign, glanc- ing over the newspapers with her keen gray eyes, and a purpose marked in each line of her handsome face. Of course she was exquisitely attired, tor the soldier of fortune of either sex must wear gay, untarnIshed uniform, although the pockets may be empty Al Baltimore every feature snftenTd as 8 Western Congressman came into the car, and she gave him joyous greet ing. Before we had left the Monu- mental City, the rural Representative, fresh from the Lares and Penares. had marched into the lilile parlor, and when at the Relay House ihe fair Spider opened her lunch-b basket per turning the car with the OdOr of old Bourbon, il was evident that the Hon. Jefferson Caucnsman would vote for ihe Oregon and Alaska Steamship sub sidy, the South Arizona Elevated rail. road grant, and the other jobs which have retained The Queen" The ses- sion is to be short, and there is no time to he lost Here WAS an early worm who was accidentally caught by a pretty bird before he could reach the metropolis Washington Letter to Bos- ton Journal.

The St. Cothurd Tunnel.

Two years fiom this time, says the
 Iron Age, the great St Gothard tunnel
 through the Alps, uniting Switzerland
 and ItslY must either be completed or
 the contractor, MT. Favre, will have a
 heavy penalty to pay Under the terms
 he must pay 5000 for every day later
 than October 1st, 1880, on which il re-
 mains unfinished. If six months after
 ward il is still uncompleted he loses
 S2OO0 per day, and if twelve months
 go past without it being turned over,
 he forfeits everything, including his bond of $l6,O00,000. The undertakingI is a gigantic one, and some engineers doubt if Favre is not badly beaten at last The main tunnel is over 29,O 900 feet long, and the work on 1t Is only prosecuted under tremendous difficult
 ties. All the power used in drilling isI furnished by compressed air, which Isl prepared outside by powerful pumps and stored up in vast tanks. The loco
 iAOth NhN the blasted rocks are also run by com pressed air, as to the use of steam in such a hole it would be impossible.
 As it is, the men al work often suffer excessively from the foul vspors, part
 ly natural and partly produced by the explosions of dynamite, which are s0 constant that an observer compares them to cannon firing in a battle.
 These gases would collect and be fatal, except that the exhaust air from the drills is employed to drive them tow ard the mouth of the excavation. Favre is laboring with splendid ener- gy, and the working force is as lar eI as can be put on. IL is vastly 10 his interest to hurry, for he will receive 8
 bonus of 5000 for each day previous to October l, 1880, on which he has his task finished. The tunnel will cost $55, ,000, 900, although when it was first undertaken the estimates were some twenty millions less than the above figures
