The Montreal Tunnel.

Yesterday Hon. Bradley Barlow and
Mr.. A. B. Chaffee of the Southeastern
railway, Mr.. SENEGAL, general superin-
tendent Of the Quebec, Montreal, Otta-
wa & Occidental railway, (known as the
North Shore road), and Mr.. Walter
Stanley, the Dominion government en-
gineer, whose name is inseparably link
ed to fame as the successful constructor
OF the HOosac tunnel, visited the rout of
the proposed tnnnel under the st. Law
renee from Longueuil to Hochelaga,
that will connect the northern and
southern systems of roads and bring
Montreal and the west into new and
better connections with New York and
Boston. Mr.. Stanley remarked that ma
ture seemed to have done all that the
most exacting engineer could desire to
make the project feasible and the work
permanent. The south shore is fiat and
the approach may be made as easy as
possible, while the land damage will be
very light. The river is shallow and the
bottom of rock the entire distance
across. The northern bank rises alb
ruptly, but about half-mile back de-
scends into broad valley, which is ad-
mirably suited to the opening of the
tunnel and to connections with the
North Shore road and for the city busi-
ness. Mr.. Stanley thinks the roof of
the tunnel would not need to be more
than twenty feet thick, if the rock
proves good all the way, and that by
working from both ends the tunnel
could be completed within two years
and half. He says the conditions are
all so favorable, not only for the sue
cess of the work, but for an enormous
volume of business to pour through it
as soon as the government railway shall
be extended west to the Sault st. Marie,
that nothing would please him better
than to be connected with the under
taking. In fact many prominent Cana
dlans are beginning to regard it as
great national work, which cannot be
long delayed.-St. Adams Messenger.

Col. Tom crittenden's Nightgown.

Col. "Tom" t. Crittenden, democrat
ic nominee for governor of Missouri,
went to Kansas City few days ago,
and to escape press interview, retired
early. But it was of no use. A Times
reporter heard of his presence in the
city, and pounded away at 33 Union
Depot hotel, until the coming governor
let him in. Col. Tom wouldn't talk,
bnt the reporter took cOpious notes of
the fashion of his nightgOwn, which he
thus describes He wore handsome
muslin nightgown, snowy white and
elaborately trimmed. The yoke was
what was known as the French design,
and the collar, which was of broad lace
of beautiful pattern, was not buttoned,
but drawn together with a silk pucker-
ing string, outside of which was light
blue silk kerchief tied in sailors knot.
There were three rows of ruffles down
the front of the garment, and between,
and running parallel with each row,
was tiny band of lace, from which
peeped a hem-stitched light blue silk
handkerchief. The sleeves were ample
and graceful. At the wrists were bands
OF lace, which gave the smooth, plump
hands of the wearer a charming effect.

to just below the wearer's waist, and
there divided into two flaps, in the cor
ner of one of which was Col. Critten-
den's monogram embroidered in an ex-
quisite shade of blue silk. Each of the
flaps was broidered with lace of unique
design. A profane mosquito, floating
in through the open window, lowered
moment over the alabaster nightgown,
then swOoped down on one of the fair
legs and began boring for oil. COL.
Crittenden raised one jeweled hand and
brought it down with violence on the
spot where the mosquito ought to have
been. But the wicked bird had flown,
and the stricken flesh began to redden
and swell. Col. Crittenden was bathing
the wounded limb with bay rum and
cologne, and exhausting his vocabulary
of anathemas upon the genus mosquito
generally, when the reporter left.

St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1880-08-13

Rooster Atkins is much stirred up by
the pen portrait of him given by Col.
Hopkins, Montpelier correspondent of
the Boston Journal; and in the last is
sue of the Argus he makes bitter at
tack on the Colonel. This is the pen
picture which has awakened the ire of
the democratic "boss:"
Mr.. Atkins ownership and control of
the party in Vermont is an anomaly.
The owner and editor of the leading
party organ in the state and chairman
of the state committee, his influence
within party lines is widely felt and ac-
knowledged. He fixes the time and
place for the state conventions. He
names the chairman and all the various
officers. His advice is meekly sought
by platform committees, and he is him
self, er-OficiO, chairman of the commit
tee on credentials, so that no man comes
into convention but by his permission.
Every democrat is expected to wear the
Atkins collar. His control of his men
is absolute. He says to one ego" and
he goes and to another "cOme" and he
comes. Whether he scolds, commands,
suggests, hints or mods, his men are
promptly to their feet, answering "Here
am l." Not man can peacefully live
in the party in Vermont who does not
acknowledge his authority. All are ex-
pected and apparently pleased, to do
his most lOrdly bidding. Verify there
is something touching and pathetic as
well as ridiculous in the sway which he
holds over his subjects. To be sure, in
the late state convention at Burlington
Charles n. Davenport, Esq, of Brattle-
bOrO felt an impulse to assert his indi-
vidual manhood and assume a part
leadership in party affairs but it was
no use, and before the convention was
over, he meekly came under the party
yoke and dOnned the Atkins collar, to
the great amusement of republican
spectators and the joy of the leader and
his henchmen.
Mr.. Atkins is not VermOnter, but is
an importation from New York state
whence he came something over TWEEN
| ty years since, saturated with the worst
notions and teachings of the New YORK
democracy. These he brought with hin
and has with considerable success Ell.
grated upon the democracy of Yer
mont. He is not only good leader, bu
as follower of his New York neigh
bors he is most willing and subservient
Every error of theirs he is ready t.
palliate and excuse, and any little goo,
which he sees in them he unduly laud
