SOME English engineers have project
ed gigantic tunnel under the Gibralter
strait, from Spain to Africa. The length
of the tunnel would be nine miles, and
its deepest point about three. quarters of
a mile under the surface of water. 1t
seems that the engineers undertook to
realize the dream of an Englishman who
wanted to 60 by land not only to France
but even to Africa. Hence the projects
of two tunnels, one under the English
channel, the other under the Glbralter
strait.

ly murdered on the evening of Sept. -. EIe
was returning home from Dubuque with his
sOn-in-law Jim OCOnnor. When they reached
a point on the road about ten miles from town
they were overtaken by man driving u spir-
tied pair of horses. He was known to Grimes
but not to O'Connor, and the former left his
son-in-aw's wagon and got into his acquaint-
ance's vehicle. Grimes and his companion
drove away rapidly, and about twenty minutes
later OConnor found Grimes lying on the
road with his head terribly mashed and breath
ing his last. He died about a minute after
his son-in-law reacQcd him.
The young fend incarnate, George
Baumgarten, who so inhumanly murdered
little Sandy White at Fulton, Wis, Septem-
Der %, is now safely incarcerated in the Rock
county Jail at GAINESVILLE. He was carefully
guarded in the Dane county Jail on the 25th
and taken to Alton, Wis, by the 9:45 A. NJ
train, and from there to GAINESVILLE by wagon
This route was deemed safer than over the
Milwaukee Il st. Paul road. By the latter it
would have been necessary to pass through
Edgerton, where so much bitterness exists
towards him that the officers feared lynching.
Baumgarten is idiotic looking in the extreme.
He confessed to beastly practices which give
him hang dog, idiotic look. He says he
knew nothing till he found little Sandy
hanging in the barn, and knowing he had
killed him finished the work by cutting his
throat and dsemboweling him. Great credit
is due to Sheriff Phin Baldwin, of Dane coun-
ty, for so successfully and quickly capturing
the young offspring Of hell

The Chinese in California may now
learn that, should they find living unde
the new Constitution disagreeable, they
will find welcome in the French colo
MES in Asia and Polynesia. The French
governor of Saigon has written to the
governor OF New Caledonia to the follow
ing effect: ''The Chinese have been and
are of great service to US. They are alb
stemious, strong, intelligent and labori-
Gus. We find them, as a rule, good work
men and mechanics, while as traders they
are active and skillful.''

THE most important exodus movement
just now is the emigration of English
farmers and mechanics to the United
States. There is plenty of room for
skilled labor in this country; it is the I'M
skilled labor which in times of depression
becomes drug in the market. From
present indications, however, there will
soon be plenty of work for all men of all
classes.

INDIAN boys and girls are being gath
cred at some Of the western agencies for
the new school to be opened next month
at Carlisle, Pa. In a few instances the
chiefs have refused to let children go, but
enough will doubtless be obtained to
make out the complement of the school.
Six have been taken from Sisseton, four
will come from Standing rock, eight from
Cheyenne, four from Crow Greek, and
four from Brule. The others Of the
school will come from among the tribes
in the Indian Territory.
IT is proposed that the Governors Of the
thirteen original States shall meet at In
dependence Hall in Philadelphia, Oct IS
and 10 next to arrange plan for cele-
brating the centennial Of the surrender
of Yorktown. The surrender took place
Oct. 10, 1881, so that there is time to pre-,
pare for it's commemoration in fitting
manner. There should be some attempt
to enlist fully the sympathies of the peo-
pie and governments of the new States,
who have an equal inheritance and inter-
est in yorktown with those OF the thir-
teen original States.

A DEAF and dumb girl in Dorsey coun
ty, Ark, has recently begun to talk
in her sleep. There had been family
prayers for the restoration of her speech.
At midnight her mother heard her dar-
ling's voice. Accusing the old gentleman
she entered the apartment where the child
lay. The deaf and dumb girl remarked
casually, Everything seems very Won
derful." Then turning suddenly in her
bed, she added, "Yes, the old-timc orch
ards are always in bloom" The atfec-
tionate parents simultaneously embraced
the maiden. She awoke with start.
But she could neither hear nor speak.
A Mr.. ROBSON, speaking OF Englena-
viridas, says he must expect that, and
other organisms, to be tossed a good many
times from the zoologist to the botanist,
and back again many times, before their
position is definitely settled. The fact
is, that one by one the leading character
istics which were formerly held to sepa-
rate the animal and vegetable Kingdoms
are breaking down., He remembers when
starch was held to be an essentially vege-
table constituent until its detection, even
IN the human brain, rendered it useless
as a distinguishing mark. Later, chlor-
ophyll was insisted upon as specially
characterized vegetable element, but this
has since been found in numerous inver-
tebrata, including planarian worms. In
the present state of our knowledge we
can not pretend to draw any hard and
sharp lines Of demarcation between ami
mails and plants, and any attempt to do
so must result only in failure.
