TuNNELING oP MONT BLANC.

! As rival project to the Simplon tunnel,
of which last We lately gave an outline in
this department, the tunneling of Mont
| Blanc is proposed as an alternative which
possesses several decided advantages over
the Simplon route, which was thought to
furnish the best practical route from Paris
to Brindisi, by way of Pontaclier and Lau-
same. The new project is pronounced to
be entirely feasible by French engineers
who have proposed it, and is said to be re-
ceiving favorable consideration. Contrary
to general opinion on the subject, the tun-
neling of Mont Blanc Is declared to be an
easier undertaking than that of the Sim
plon; the estimates OF cost for executing
the work being In the case of the Simplon,
1876, 900, coo francs, and in the case of Mont
Blanc only $4,000. 900. Furthermore. it is
claimed that the Mont Blanc tunnel willmak
the Journey from Paris to Genoa 81 kilo-
meters shorter, and from Paris to Milan Al
kilometers shorter than by the proposed
Sipplon route. The location of the tunnel,
which meets with favor from its advocates,
is said to be from Chamounix to Courmay-
eur. Our authority does not 20 into further
details but the project has met with some
remonstranee ON sentimental grounds. We
reproduce the following affecting lines,
which wildly recall the picture of Mark
Twain weeping al the grave OF Adam :
s.The audacity of modern engineering has
eliminated in projected attempt upon
Mont Blanc. 1t is bad enough that the
once virgin summit should be actually de-
flied by coekney feet but that the awful
mysteries Of its rocky foundation should
be invaded by s1Farnls OF rude 'navvies' is
past belief, yet It is seriously contem-
plated"

HARMLESS DUELs.

Men disinclined to make targets of them
selves in obedience to a conventional code
of honor have often got out of the difficult
ty by availing themselves of the right &C
corded to the challenged to choose the
weapons. A Missouri backwoodsman
daunted his antagonist by insisting upon a
combat with rawhides, limited to half an
hours duration. An old whaling captain
declared he would fight with harpoons, or
not at all, an alternative declined by his
adversary. A French journalist, fonder OF
fun than fighting, on being challenged, ac-
copied the cartel with ''Of course | claim
the choice of weapons. You wish to kill
me; 1 will do my best to kill
you. Good 1 have in my house
twenty loaves of siege bread, which l have
kept for souvenirs. We Will sit down and
eat against each other One of us is sure
to die" Knowing by experience the ma,
ture of siege-b bread, the challenger did not
care to run the risk involved in such con-
test. and like sensible fellow, laughed
and shook hands. Equally satisfactory in
its result was the very Lice method adopted
by two Americans, who, having fallen in
love with one lady, found it necessary to
settle by force of arms which should retire
from the field. Having no desire to hurt
one another, they concluded the matter
could be decided by proving which was the
better shot by each trying his skill at a
tree. The worst marksman acknowledged
that if they had confronted each other in
the approved way he would have been an
initiated, and left his rival to win the lady
unopposed,
