A Quiet Neiqhborhood

A remarkable community is described
as percAed up among the Swiss Alps--a
new Anaorra in it's primitiveness. The
name qf the place is Ab1andschenen,
which, being interpreted, signifies an
out-of-the-way locality. It's people have
no standing army, and therefore nevergo
to war;. They have no feet, being hun.
dreds of miles from the sea in every di-
rection. They have no publicans, and
consequently their elections, if they have
any, are completely pure. They have
no doctors, and there has not been a
death among them for several years.
They possess no newspaper, are vexed
by the postman only once week, do no
trades, and occupy themselves with little
industry. The place is tormented neith-
er by the ring Of the blacksmith's ham
mer, the fumes of the bakers oven, the
clatter of the wheelright's shop, nor the
opportunities of shop keepers. Nor
does a notary spoil parchment or an ad-
vocate confound justice, or q policeman
tarry the night in all that mountain Ar
cadia. A cheap jack once fortnight
brings the good folk all they want in the
shape Of sundries, their own herds, Aocks
and poultry-yards supplying them with
the rest. The Acknowledgements, hay
ing httlS money, are not blessed with q
bank, but they have church with sin
gle bell which is .inkled like railway
signal at thesbirth Of boy, but goes into
ecstacieb at that of a girl. It was wrong
to reveal the secrets of this Alpine
Utopia, because tourists will be finding
it out and vulgarize it, as they have vul-
CARRIED the Engadine. But, as the
French bay, "Nothing is sacred to sap
per" al ID SO nothing can be kept out Of
the guide-books now. Hence the Alb
landsche eneners may before long have to
establish an hotel and even policeman.

: Turner's Slave Shin.

Mark Twain, in "a Trip Abroad, :"
says of this picture: "What a red rag
is to bull, Turner'S slave Ship was
to me before I studied art. Mr.. Ruskin
is educated in art up to point where
that picture throws him into as mad an
ecstacy pf pleasure as it used to throw me
into one Of rage last year, when I was
Ignorant. His cultivation enables him
and me, now, to see water in that glar-
ing yell low mud, and natural effects in
those ID rid explosions of mixed smoke
and fame, and crimson sunset glories;
it recontiles him-and me, now-to the
floating of iron cable chains, and other
unaoatab BILE things. The most of the pic
ture is a manifest impossibility-that is
to say, q lie; and only rigid cultivation
will ena BILE man to find truth in a lie.
A Bosto % newspaper reporter went and
took lqok at the Slave Ship founder
ing about in that fierce condagration of
reds and yellows, and said it reminded
him Of q tortoise shell cat having a fit in
a platter Of tomatoes. In my then. uned-
ucated 81 tate, that went home to my nom
cultivati ion, and I thought here is man
with an Iunobstructed eye.'' -, . 80 .-

Born Under the Alps.

The st. Gothard tunnel, the longest in
the world, in the construction of which
more lives we're lost than in any similar
undertaking, has now acquired the
unique distinction Of being the scene of
a birth. According to the Uynen lei
ta.,ag, q woman went into the tunnel one
day last week to see her husband, who
was working there, when the heat and
sights Of the place brought on prema-
turely the pains Of labor, and she was
safely delivered of fine child. Mother
and child are said to be doing as we'll as
could be expected. The workmen at the
Air0lo side Of the tunnel are suffering
more more from smoke and heat than
they were before the meeting Of the gal
leries. Owing to the north outlet being
at q lower level than the south, the at
mospheric pressure is greater there than
at the other end. Hence there is con
stant current of air towards Airolo,
which carries the smoke Of the lamps and
the foul air ia that direction; but as vet
il is not suffciently powerful to carry
them ont Of the tunnel altogether.
