The sutyo Tunnel.


The following is an extract from cir
cular in the French language now being
scattered broadcast throughout France:
"The Sutro tunnel is gigantic under
taking. made for the purpose offacilitating
the passage of ore extracted from the rich
gold and silver mines of California, which
have become so celebrated within a few
years. The utility Of this enterprise has
been recognized as so evident that the
Legislature of the State of Nevada has
authorized the levying of a tax of ", in
favor of the Sutro Company. on each ton of
ore which passes through the tunnel. One
can judge Of what Importance the Sutro
tunnel will be, when it is known that the
production of ore during the year 1877 has
been 222, 600, 600 tons, as much in gold as
IN silver, that a single vein of the Comstock
has furnished about 15,000,000 tons per
month. Besides this royalty of so per ton
that the company is authorized to collect, it
possesses the right to explore any veins
which may be encountered in the length of
the tunnel-for distance of z, 600 feet to
the right and left Of its course. Several
rich veins have already been discovered, but
the company will not explore them until
the entire completion Of the tunnel, which
is near at hand. The total length Of the
tunnel will be three miles, at depth Of L.
500 feet inclined. Work was begun in
October, 1859. Stock Report.

GOD KNowETH BEST.

Some time when all lifes lessons have been learned
And sun and stars forever more have set,
The things which our weak judgments here hav
spurned,
The things o'er which we grieved with lashes wet
Win fash before us, out of life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue:
And we shall see how all Gods plans were true,
And how what seemed reproof was love most true
And We shall see how while we frown and sigh,
God s plans 60 on as best for you and me.
How, when we called he needed not Our cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see,
And even ss prudent parents disallow
Too much OF sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things because it seemeth good.
And if, sometimes, commingled with life's wlne
We find the wormwood and rebel and shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours ont this potion for our lips to drink.
And if come friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh do not blame the loving Father SO.
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend.
And that, sometimes, the sable pail of death
Conceals the fairest boon his love can send.
If we could push aiar the gates OF life,
And stand within aud all Gods workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife
And for each mystery could find key.
But not to-day Then be content poer heart,
Gods pans like lilies, pure and white unfold
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart,
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if, through patient toll, we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loose may rest,
When we shall clearly krew and understand,
think that we will say, "God knew the BEST

INTO THE DEPTHS.
THE BELLE OF THE BLUE-GLAss REGION IN
CHEYENNE.
Cheyenne Leader.

Cheyenne Leader.
There is in this city woman whose ca
reer savors of romance, but whose life has
been dismal failure. She il now an out
cas-, and looks from her fallen condition out
and upon the world with sort of blank
despair, that is frightened By no CLEAN of
hope. At times she weeps, but her tears
are more those of impotent anger than those
of regret Or repentance. She gathers her
frail shawl about her frall form when the
Wyoming winds blow, and shrinks back in
to the shadows of her darkened life as if to
shut out the sounds of the life and hope Of
other and more fortunate people than her
self. ,r
Once she was marvelously beautifnl-yice
had not dimmed her great dark eyes, nor
lessened the magniicence of her wealth of
hair, which fell gently upon her shoulders.
Once she was a, belle without q peer, the
honored wife of Kentucky millionaire
She came here but few weeks ago, and
her past history in brief is about as fol-
lows: ......-
Back in the 60 flush" days of Kentucky
when the cruel scars of war were beginning
to heal with time, she was taken from a
luxurious home and made the wife of James
Southwick. His private fortune, outside
his commercial ventures, was estimated at
$500, 600, and his city residence in Louis
vile was, so to speak, a glittering palace,
through which hosts of friends sang and
in the gay abandon Of perfect freedom and
most generous welcome. Mrs. South
wick superintended the receptions and din
ners. She was true daughter of the
Blue-G Grass" State, a brunette beauty, and
her mind was pervaded by the traditions Of
that border State, 80 long famous for it's
aeet-racers and its peerless women. She
was also the shrine-and the only shrine
of her husband devotion. H...at s
Evil days came to these careless, extrava-
CANT and happy revelers. The well known
panic of 1873 reduced them to the level of
competency: further disaster made them
absolutely poor, and Southwick became a
bankrupt. And then the wife who was too
weak to face the world, too proud to endure
the honorable retirement, of undeserYed
poyeaty, went out from her husbands
home and sought place in Chicago, where
the noisy glitter and show served as poor
substitute for her former life of honor.
For several years she reigned as the SD
preme attraction in certain portions of Chi
cago, and, finally, drifted to Burlington,
Keokuk and Omaha, successfully, and from
the latter place is slowly and wearily wend-
ing her way across the continent. Tears
have worn channels down her cheeks. She
is without hope, and is painful example
of that class whose financial misfortnnes OR
beauty, Or perhaps both, have induced them
to enter upon a career, the results of which
are daily observed.

THE SONG OF THE CAMP.

"Give us song!" the soldiers cried,
The onter trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Lay. grim and threatening, under;
And the tawny mound of the Malakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
There was pause. A guardsman said:
"We storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow"
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts, from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not Of fame,
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang "Annie Lawrie.''
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong,
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak.
But, as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love re remembers.
And once again fire of he'll
Rainad ON tho Russian Quarters
With scream of shot, and burst of shell,
And believing OF the moltars!
And Irish Noras eYes are dim
For singers dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mourr.s for him
Who sang of "Annie Lawrie."
Sleep, soldier still in honored rest
Your truth and valor wearing;
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.
