Atate Univ rsity.

To the Editor OF the HERALD.
don't know that Dallas intends to enter
the race for the location of the state univers
ity, but whether it docs or not there ere
few provisions in the law regarding the loca-
ton, that should be brouga, to the attention
of the people of North Texas The election
will CO of on the first Tuesday in Sep
TENDER to determine the location of the uni
versity, and the names of all places desiring
to be voted for shall BIZ sent to the governor
forty DAYS before election day in order that
bis proclamation may notify the people Of
Texas what places are in nomination. The
place at which tits TO be located must re-
ceive at least one third of the whole vote
cast.
These and many other provisions with
regard to the location of the university
will be found on page 70, general laws of
last legislature. If ally locality fails to send
their name 10, as proyided.for by law, they
will not BE- mentioned in the localities to be
voted for.
The liberal endowment of this university
will make it the most important university
IN the south; and when We consider this
lac. and the growing Importance of Texas,
we can easily believe that under proper
management it will become to the United
States what Oxford Ia to England. It's locat
ton is n matter of great importance to
Texas, as the appropriation is magnificent
one.
1t will be the making of the place at
which it is located. In ten years
the average attendance will
DO not less than two thousand.
In point Of health and wealth and rail-
road facilities, North Texas should have it.
They can get it by agreeing on some one
place. LIST the people of d llss espectlve
of politics, unite and determine on some
plan. There is but two weeks let to work
in. If we dOn't think Dallas the place, lot
us 60 for the place that should have it. This
IS a matter deserving the attention of the
people. Let Culberson's, Mills and Well
oorh's congressional districts have joint
convention of dee,s and decide on a
place. 1t won't do to be selfish, and | write
this not in the interest of DALLAS, but of the
state university. Let the press and the peo-
pie 60 to work on this matter at once.

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.
Progress of Work on the New wonder
of the World.

New YORK Herald.
The works on the tunnel of the Engiish
channel, now progressing under Col. Beau
mont. 9. E., ara now sufficiently advanced TO
be of real interest. The project, both in
design of plan and mode of execution, Is
practical aud ingenious. The chalk strata OF
England and France are gSologically contin :
uous, and the dip of the beds is the same -
namely, towards the east, on both sides Of
the Eeslish channel. The lowermost por-
tons known as the gray chalk" is of more
clsyey nature than the other portions OF
the chalk formation, and is sufficiently i'm =,
peryious to water to render perforstion iessi-
Bile. The plsn proposed is TO follow by a
descending tunnel the natural dip of the gray
chalk toward Dover until depth OF 200
feet below the sea bed of the channel is at
tanned. The channel tunnel will then be
driven horizontally right across from shore
20 shore. A similarly inclin tunnel on the
French side, rising along the direction If the
dp of the strata, will make communication
again with the upper surface OF the land.
The gray chalk is thus entered and followed
throughout along its natural position, from
daylight on the one side and in It's subler-
ranesn and submarine depths to da, light on
the other side of the channel. The works
at AbbJts Clili consist If q short
driftway from the sea front Of the
"Warren" to the commencement OF the
trial tunnel. which is circular, seven feet in
diameter, and runs parallel with the existing
line of the southeastern railway. 1t has
already attained length of 800 yards. The
chalk is drilled by circular disk OF iron
cutters, worked by a compressed air engine
by means of shaft with bevel-wheel gear
ing, the shaft and engine extending for q
length of 30 feet. The cutting disk makes
two revolutions per minute, and is fed tor
ward quarter of an inch at each
revolution. The total advance Of the
whole face of the boring is half an inch
per minute. The debris cut out by the
revolving disk is received in a sort of
large iron tray, which is hauled back
every now and then by chain worked by an
auxuiary air engine, and the water which
percolAtes The chalk is easily kept under by
small donkey pump. The promise of suc-
cess so far seems good, but the sevea-foot
tunnel has not yet been driven much, if any
thing, below low water tide level. Trial
shafts have been driven vertically down u
considerable distance both on the English
and French shores. and there have been no
signs Of extraordinary difficulty from such
sources. Nevertheless, the question of u
possible issure or deep crack in the contin-
uity of the gray chalk itself in mid channel,
along line passing between "Varne" ano
the Ridge" can only be sctu' lily settled

Remarkable Progress In Agriculture

Tho census bulletin on agriculture lust
ssued shows that the past ten years have.
ibten the most remarkable period of sgri
cultural growth in the history of the coun-
try. The entire cereal product of the United
States has made the enormous advance of
nearly one hundred per cent. During the
preceding decade the increase was but II
per cent. while between 1850 and 1860 II
was 43 per cent As each census reports
the crops of but siOgle year the returns
OF two censuses merely afford the
data for comparing the crops of two sea.
sons ten years apart. One of these may be
an unexcepuonsbly bad and the other an
unusually good agricultural ypsr. Hence a
comparison Of tbs two may show an increase
either much greater or much lees than has
aclunllv taken place The srpsrent increase
shown By the census Of 1880 is doub less
considerably greater than Il G real. Blu, max
ing all due allowance for this consideration
thv act I'LL remsins that the progress mad
in the production of cereals during the past
ten years have been marvellous The Yield
OF wheat a>ore has sdvan-
ced from 287 900 0OO, to 459 900 900
bushels, a gain of 70 par cent. while The
product of Indisn corn a,s sprung from
7G0 600 900 10 LIZ 100000 bushels, an
increase of 1873 per cent The enormous
productive capacity of the great west AID
northwest Ia shown by the fact tbs! seven
,enths Of the entire wheat crop Of the
United States is grown 10 the states of Hi.
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota,
Iowa, California and Wisconsin; while the
three states Illinois. Iowa aud Missouri
together produced in lS79.-the year covered
by the census re,urns-upward OF eight
hundred million bushels of corn, or more
than the yield of the entire country in 1869.
Verify the U1i,ed States will be able not
only to feed its own rapidly multiplying
people but also to supply Europe with
bread and meat whenever needed.

From letter in the Pail Mall Gazette
Extraordinary changes have taken place
in the Fatherland within the last twenty
years, and none is more apparent than the
alter attitude and behavior of what we
are pleased to call 'the people," When
first visited Germany twenty years ago 1t
was the fashion for old and young to thou"
the domestic servants and work-people gen
orally. Now address little lad playing in
the gutter as 'Du," and he would turn his
back on you without reply. Formerly do
nestle servants in Germany were addressed,
slipshod, oppressed beings, often worse
lodged than the cattle. The other
day an English lady staying in
German boarding house complained
to the mistress that she dis
turbed by the cough of a housemaid whose
bedroom was near to her own. ~ am very
sorry" was the reply, "but it is impossi BILE
for me to change my servants rooms. They
will not submit to be changed from place to
| place" This was in provincial town, and
the maids were rough peasant girls from the
heart of the country.
Formerly an unpleasant subservience was
| observed by the working classes toward the
upper. Now we find that, while there is
| much more politeness than before among
/ the working people themselves, no differ
ence whatever Is made in addressing those
| in a superior social position. These things
are on the surface only, but they point to
fundamental changes of very great signih-
| canoe, and while we find among working
| people more politeness exercied toward each
other and self-asserting attitude toward
