says: Ground was broken for the Suto
tunnel on the 10Th of October, 1859.
The work has therefore required ekht
years, eight months and ten days to DIM

year, two more drills were pvt to work.
this made six altogether. From that
date the average progress was over 800
feet per month to up April 1877, when,
the header having enterfd the broad
Comstock mineral belt. the heat became
30 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 un-
interruptedly from the time that ground
was broken until to-9ay,a at times only two
men were at work il the tunnel. The
greatest progress was in December. 1875,
when the heading was advanced At

was only adyatced nineteen feet. The

And golden planets round and clear,
Like myriad watch-f fires hung on high,
Burn In the hollow vault of sky. '
And, gazing up at them, I seem
10 live within q world OF dream,
AS though my life had strangely grown
One with the unknowable and unknown.
Then, turning to the earth, see
Vague waves of mountain-land and lea,
And forest solitudes that loom
Through depths Of overshadowing gloom.
And yonder, when pale moonlight falls
Down dusky avenues and walls,
million hearts together beat h
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 muse, my thoughts are borne
Through spacious labyrinths Of morn
10 ancient continents over seas
Peopled with our antipOdes: #H"'
And in this vision I behold
Broad, luminous lands laid fold on fold,
And heights that lift their peaks of snow
Above green meadow-ways below;
see gay, stately cities, where
Day breathes upon the languid air,
And intermingled domes and spires
That CLEAN afar like purple fires. w.
Above me drops the misty blue E.,..
VI 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.

Lost to sorrow and to tears.
Needless of the tempest gathering
Round the gloom of coming years.

Traces OF her cruel tread,

I would fain proceed to depict the lnef1a'
BILE Transparencies who have made the old
Dutch village what it is, but that I fear all
that can be said about the Inefables has
been said already. I may, however, add
that the Dutch Inefable, the Countess
Clara Veer Wander Veer, is sadmirably suited
to that limited comprehension which Provi
dence has vouchsafed to the inhabitants or
this country. Clara Vesr Wander Veer is
the most proper and correct OF u. .'oun-
tesses. Despite the. ibelous pictures of
Jordaens. Mieris, and other jokers OF the
same type she by no means condescends to
sit upon the knee of Wander Veer while he
smokes long clay pipe and tipples prime

and thickness. Wander Veer himself is o

in which he delights to array himself. L
have nothing to say against the stove-pipe
hat in cities, but must own that l could
never quite understand why New York
pilot aboard of his craft, Yankee, skipper
on the high seas, and Hollander at the
seaside should insist on wearing it. In the
hunting-feld it has certain advantages, but
aboard ship, and at the seaside, in high
wind, it seems to my il-regulated mind out
of place. Wander Veer, however, thinks it
incumbent on him to don it after table

shiny -frock coat, to the end that he may
enjoy the music, on the promenade outside

ONE Hobbs, of Philadelphia, is matur-
ing an invention which, according to his
statements, will very nearly if not quite
supersede that of railroads and all other
means of locomotion for short distances,
say under hundred miles or SO. The
little machine by which this is to be done
is called a pedomoter and is not unlike
q roller or parlor skate, and when at
tached to the feet it enables the wearer
to glide over the ground at the rate OF
twelve or fifteen miles an hour without
any more effort than that required in
walking. Like woman's slipper when
used as a Juvenile corrective, it is adapt
ed to uneven surfaces, and the pedomo-
terestrian is amazed, as well he may be,
to find with how little exertion he can
"devour space" Hobbs explains the
mystery of this rapid movement in this
manner: A man whose stride is thirty,
two inches will traverse forty-eight inches
at each step with the pedomoter, because
the body is in constant motion. All tina
is necessary for the traveller to do is t.
put his best foot forward as he does il
walking, and to keep on putting it ther
until he gets to his journeys end. Th
pedomoter, in proportion to its size, ha
more goaheadativeness than a veloc
pede.
