The Hoosac Tunnel.

On the first day of November the Hoosac
tunnel will be formally opened for business,
with such an elaborate ceremonial as the
Massachusetts, man delights in celebrating.
The work of piercing the mountain has &C.
cupied fifteen years, and its cost has been
twelve million dollars. Now that the end has
been reached the business men of the14ates
are anxious to know what is best to be'done
with the tunnel. Of course thay want d.
rect railroad to the West, by which they
hope to drain the grain regions lying about
the upper lakes, but the question is how 1t
shall best be done. Boston wants cheap
coal as well as chance to do an export bust
ness in grain. But it seems that she is
greatly at loss to know how to take adj
vantage of her opportunities. She is too
ambitious. IF her citizens will confne theiI
attention to building up trade slowly, in
stead of seeking to steal New York's COM
merce at one fell blow, they will best adj
vance their interests. New York has no
thing to fear from the Hoosac Tunnel, but
will be the gamer by any increase in the
business of outlying commercial suburbs
along the Atlantic.

She Wanted Her Letter.

At the post Office in Wilmington, N. c., a
few days ago, during the distribution of the
mail, and before the general delivery was
opened, colored woman vociferously called
upon the Postmaster to hunt her up letter
"anyhow." "Mr. Postmaster, | want you
to hurry up and give me my letter; amt
time to be foolin' round here" said she.
No attention, of course, was paid her, ex-
cept by the crowd outside, who laughed and
cheered her, while the clerks within kept on
busily distributing. Presently her attention
was attracted to several persons walking up
with keys, opening some of the boxes and
taking out mail matter. This set her off
again. "Look here, I want my letters !;
here's desc rich white people kin come an
open dem little windows, an git dere letters
an you won't give me NINE" ''You'll
have to wait till the general delivery is open"
said one of the bystanders. swell, dat's

Shooting a Stuffed Squirrel.

There is in the neighborhood of Ridge
wood an old gentleman who was once
Nimrod among the hunters. He could shoot
out squirrels eye from the top of the tall
est hickory, nine shots out of ten. Indeed
there was no limit to his skill. He has been
renewing the sports of his youth for the past
few weeks, but as squirrels were scarce, and
his eyesight was dim, his game bag was not
well filed on his return home. He has a
mischievous rascal of a grandson, who would
ever play pranks on him, and as he was
meandering through the woods day before
yesterday, the youngster got into the path
before him and perched stuffed squirrel on
the limb of tree, tying it fast. AS the old
man came near, the youngster showed him
self and called attention to the squirrel. The
old man looked. "Sure enough there is a
squirrel" he remarked. 'Be still; I'll
fetch him." And taking careful aim he
pulled the trigger. When the smoke blew
away there sat the squirrel with his tail over
his back, not in the least disturbed. The
old man loaded his gun with great care and
blazed away again. The squirrel stood this
fire with as much equanimity as the first,
only his tail seemed to be broken and had
fallen over on his side. The old man was nom
plussed. He did not, however, see his grand
son, who was rolling in convulsions of
laughter behind convenient log. He had
become warmed up to the sport and thought
of nothing else but fetching that squirrel.
The third shot cut the cord that bound the
squirrel to the tree and he fell, not with the
usual heavy thud so we'll known to sports
| men, but bouncing several feet into the air.
This aroused the old mans suspicious, and,
going up to it, he found the true nature of
the sell. His change of position brought
him in full view of his afectionate grandson
who was tearing mp the ground in his effort
to laugh without making noise. A real
izing sense of the situation crept over the
mind of the venerable man. He cast his
eyes on the ground; they fell on piece of
single, which he picked up, and approach
ing the convulsed boy unawares, he Affection
| ately famed him couple of times on the
seat of his breeches. This brought the
youngster to perpendicular, and he took to
his heels, thereby escaping more loving
demonstrations. The old gentleman could
nothelp relishing the joke, and tells the cir
cumstance with greater good will than one
would suppose. The boy is just ten years
old, and his grandfather declares that he
will sometime be President of the United
States. He now has most unbounded faith
in the ability of that boy.

Of course, the knapsacks were left behind,

Objection to Twins.

Some amusing incidents occur among
travellers by rail, and the following we can
vouch for: On day last week a venerable
gentleman of Concord, N. H., was riding
over an Eastern railroad to Boston, when a
lady entered at one of the stations with a
child under one arm and dog under the
other The car being well filed, she made
for the seat where the gentleman was sitting
alone, and was proceeding to stow herself
child and dog into the vacant seat, when the
gentleman, who has great aversion to dogs
blandly remarked to the lady: Madame
have no objection to one baby in this seat.
but I have the most decided objection to
twins" 1t is perhaps needless to say thai
the lady petulantly moved on to find a seat
for herself and dog.

AN IMPOSSIBLE DUEL.

An amusing story of an impossible
duel is going the rounds of the salons Just
now. One evening recently three well
known officers, all of them T" Counts" Wis
tied the Theatre an der Wien, now no longer
the classic ground it was when Mozart and
Beethoven gave their concerts there, for in
these days it is devoted to light comedies,
provincial burlesques and sometimes what in
New York has been called the ''leg drama"
The officers chose to disturb their neighbors
by conversing in SO loud tone that a gen.
tleman from a neighboring loge entered the
box in which the laxative officers sat and
uttered the single word "Rubei" which
means peace, or g be quiet" Count S. i'm
mediately followed the retiring intruder and
presented his card, demanding the gentle
mans address, saying his second should
wait on him in the morning. The intruder,
evidently novice in the science of "pistols
and coffee for two," replied, Thanks,
Herr Graf !" and gave the required address.
The following noon Count T., the second,
called at the street number given, and was
filed with dismay to find the gentleman of
the previous evening standing behind the
counter, measuring off yard of tape
"What can do for you, sir 2" said the
busy shopkeeper, "sleeve buttons, watch
chains, suspenders?"
The dismayed nobleman replied not, but
at last stammered out something of the pre-
vious evenings insult, that he came as Count
SIS second, but"
sob, So" said the shopkeeper; "wel, if
his lordship wants to fight me, I'm all ready
and will be proud of the honor"
"But, impossible!" exclaimed the sec
ond; ''you are not NOBLE and our
code"
"Devil take the code If Count S. wants
to shoot me, why not?"
"Impossible CALCULATED the second.
cit must be arranged otherwise"
every good" answered the shopman ;
"perhaps you and the Count Will meet me
at - Hotel at o'clock to-day, when !
go to dine; your code don't forbid you to
dine with me. Do come; I'll give you a

And the invitation was accepted since the
duel was impossible.

Glass-Eye Trade of the United States

1t is not generally known that the entire
glass-eye business of the United States is in
the hands of one firm, Messrs. Theisman &
Paulding, of Pittsburg, and but few people
have any idea of the immensely of their bust
ness. There is in the United States deficit
of some sixty thousand eyes. Of this num-
Der about twenty-five thousand make use of
glass-eyes To supply these "bully boys
with glass-eyes," at lest hundred speci-
mems of optics are manufactured Some
rich, aristocratic old gentlemen have their
eyes made to order. These are manufac-
tured by hand with great care and nicely,
a certain fire and yigor being thrown into
them more than realistic. We know Mr..
johnson who is greatly improved by wear
ing one of these glass-eyes. The young
ladies dote on him, and say he looks like a
poet, ''his eye with such fine frenzy rolling. +"
Such are some of the advantages of a glass
eye.
The cheapest kind of eyes is the light
blue. These are sold in large quantities.
The poor people who cannot afford Injuries
usually wear these, whatever the color Of
their natural optics. When a man has a
genuine black eye supplemented by one of a
dim, dismal blue, it produces wierd ef-
feet. This strange appearance is still more
when the black eye gives evidence of glass
or so too much of whiskey; its contrast
with the sleepy soberness of the blue eye is
apt to astonish stranger.
Several years ago Messrs. Theisman & Paul
ding were burnt out in the big fire in Pitts
burg. The sorrow, the ruin, the misery
this caused, can only be appreciated by a
one-eyed man. Almost all had to content
themselves with secondhand eyes, dim and
considerably the worse for wear and tear.
A well-known merchant, of New York,
who was wanting in optics dissected doll
of his daughter to procure an eye, so that
he might appear in society decently, and a
poor man in very similar strait, made use
of those large variegated crystals of which
children are so fond. His eye of many col
ors produced quite sensation, and Messrs.
Theisman & Paulding threw a quantity of
Dolly Warden eyes on the market, but some
how they did not take and become the fash
ion, and the cargo was an entire loss.
Messrs. Theisman & Paulding have almost
entirely banished the French glass eye from
this continent +; the English eye never took
well here, was never popular. They are
now engaged in supplying the Chinese mar
ket, and have invented new patented aqui-
line eye just suited for the Mongolians.
They are also patentees of the strabismic
glass eye, suitable for cross or cock-eyed
people.
With each dozen glass eyes, copy of
directions how to wear glass eyes are sent.
1t is to be hoped that this book will be stud
led, as some of our best citizens display a
disgraceful carelessness in the manner in
which they wear their eyes. To be glared
at by an eye upside down, is apt to disturb
a man; indeed, it is extremely disagree
able.

"The papers rang, next day, with the
story. You see, sir, it seemed more to
them, looking at it, than to me, who had no
time to stop and think; but something more
was IN store for me. I was off duty, the
next night, alone in my lonely, desolate
room, thinking it all over, when some one
whispered my name. In another moment,
some one was sobbing in my arms-some
one who had come to me of her own sweet
wil-some one who, from that moment, has
been the sunshine of my home and heart.
