THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.


Important Experiments on Both the English and
French Sides.
LONDON, June 17.-Edward Watkin, Chairman
of the Southwestern Railway Company, informed
a meeting oithat company tnat two experimental
shafts for the proposed channel tunnel had been
sunk on the English side and two on the French
side and that from one Of the shafts on the Eng.
lish side gallery 800 OF 900 long and seven feet in
diameter had been driven. The progress during
the last week has been 67 yards, which Is equFl
to two miles yearly, They have thus solved the
question of the rate Of progress for the expert.
mental gallery, and ascertained that the lower
strata is impeImeable to the water. The French
experiments realized exactly the same results.
They had arrived, he said, at an understanding
with the French Tunnel Committee, that on each
side Of the Channel further heading Of a mile
should be driven, When these headings are fin
ished, which they certainly ought to be in six
months, one tenth Of the question would have
been dealt with, and further treaty would then
probably be proposed, under which each party
would accomplish the remaining nine miles on
its side with a view Of meeting In the middle Of
the channel A seven foot gallery ought on this
system 10 be completed In iVe years.

PITNEY DISMISSED.

the Corrupt Custodian Of the Treasury Discharged
WASHINGTON, June H.-secretary Window to-
day summarily dismissed Pltnsy from the public
service and abolished the office Of Custodian Of
the Treasury, There never has been any law
authorizing the place Of Custodian. The position
was crested in the Treasury Department some
years ago, and the Custodians salary has been
paid out Of the appropriations for janitors, mes
sengers al d superintendent Of public buildings.
Secretary Window asCertained this, and has
abolished the place, saying 1t had no right to
exist The duties heretofore performed by the
Custodian are imposed, by the order OF the secre
taIy abOishing that office, upon Chief Clerk
Power, who has been dilgent and persistent in
working up and exposing the frauds Of the Gus
todian's Ring. Pltney is likely TO escape any
penalty except that Of his dismissal, as he will
NOT testify.

Too Much Talk.

Editor Morning NeUs: There is such q
thing as talking ones self to death.
Too much talk is as fatal to popu-
larity as too little The trouble with
many good takers is that they do
not know when to stop. However
self poised and prudent in the court
of early ambition, acquisition and public
applause hatter and loosen their tongues.
Henceforth they regard themselves as
predigles of wisdom divinely appointed
to guide and instruct the ignorant PEG
pie, and, consequently, lose no opportu.
nifty to press their mission. Others again
are garrulous because it has been said
that che who seeks public favor must
keep himself before the peOple"-must
talk and be talked about, and, of course,
express every shade of opinion on every
subject, any one of which may be gal
lantly avowed or sdroitly denied as in
terest demands.
To this class belong the talking politici-
ans, and when they have talked out all
their sense they resort to nonsense, like
many able writers who abuse their pens
as the politicians do their tongues.
But the book writers are compare
lively harmless, because nobody is
obliged to read their fag-ends of genius,
while the talking politician is irrepressi-
ble-thrusting himself into every organi
cation, assuming the lead in every move
ment, monopolizing every newspaper,
exhausting the skill of every reporter
that will interview" him, and con-
tinually debating and devising schemes
for expenditure of the public funds, that
he may share in the spoiIs. But as there
is an end of all things, there is an end to
this political monstrosity of the
nineteenth century, or at least, change
of venue, for public favor is ''fickle, ="
surfeits with egotiStic gush. and wearled
with monotonOus twaddle, looks out for
another hero. NULNARE.

Those negroes who lately went to
Crawford county, Indiana, to work on
the Louisville, New Albany and St.
Louis air line have Jared not at all well
in consequence of the prejudice and
hostility of the natives. Knowing that
considerable anti-negro feeling existed
in the county, the authorities were ap-
peeled to by the contractors building the
railroad to protect their dusky labOrers.
The Sheriff, who seemed to have parti-
cular animOsity towards darkies, refused
to furnish any protection whatever, and
declared that he would not be response
bic for the consequences if any negro
was imported int the county. Trouble
is consequently expected at an early day.
Crawford county has never seen q rail-
road before, and contains only one negro
male inhabitant.
