EIgh, Men Bound 20 the Ground
and Roasted.

RIcHMoND, VA, February 10 "A hor
rible holocaust occurred at jackson
Springs, Moore county, North Carolina.
last night During the severe storm
which prevailed in tha, vicinity party
of men working in tUrpentino were On
csmped in the woods They built gu in
closure between two large pines, bgaciu1
the crossridge pole in front between the
two trees. AS they expected TO be st
work in this spot for some weeks they
made the structure as substantial as
possible, by piins upon the roof heavy
layers of earth aud hickory poles, and
keeping the whole secure by layer OF
tho heaviest rocks they could find.
10 the centre of the Temporary building
they built large fire, and after eating
rstions they spread blankets upon the
ground, and about II O'Clock were sleep
ing huddled together srousd the fire,
which. as the weather was cold, had been
replenished with fresh logs. They slept,
IL is supposed, until about l O'clock in the
night. The storm vas at ita height.
There were ten men in the place, all
sleeping souudly, when, amid The wild
bowling of the wind, the horrible trap
fell 10, with its mass of rock and earth
roof, while the sharpeued laths am hick
ory billets came down in the greatest huy
~, impaling the mass OF sleeping human
ity underneath, ia two instances bsyonet-
ing to the earth the wrigging bodies Of
the unfortunate slsepers. The work OF
devastation and death was not complete,
for the floor beisg covered with beds of
leaves and straw, and the sides OF the
structure being made with interlaced dry
twigs and leaves, and there being bar
rel of turpentine in tue place also, the
whole caught from the fire and soon
transformed the place into furnace
burning at white heat. The two man
gled and blistered survivors Of the night
gave thrilling account of the scene. and
the horrible suffering OF some Of the un-
fortunate.

IRRELIGION.

A careful and observant writer in
the Revue deS DeuE Modes, who is con
trihuting to that magazine series OF
articles on destitution in Paris, remarks
upon tho steady growth OF religion
among the workingmen of that gay
capital. He says that in tho era of
the French revolution the spread of
infdelty was greatest among the
wealthy and enlightened classes and
less among the poor and ignorant, but
that now the reverse is the case. As
a proofof this he says that in the rich
and aristocratic districts Ct the city
funerals without religious ceremonies
are very rare, while IN the poor and
populous districts as many as one-third
of the interments take place without
any religious rite. The hostile attitude
OF the French Government to all re-
ligious communities, but particularly
TO those of which tho education Of
youth was the principal object, will
naturally tend to weaken the tie be-
tween tho church and the people, be.
cause the children will now be depriv
ed Of that religious training which
those communities impaired and which,
in the case of poor girls, had
good influence on their aiter.lives. At
least such is the opinion OF the writer
in question, NJ. Othsnin d Haussonville.
The same falling off in the religious at.
tachments OF the poor has also been
observed in tho English city OF Liver.
pool A census sl church and chapel
attendance taken on a recent Sunday
showed an aggregate attendance Of.
63,5I6 out OF population of over
$50 600, while q like census taken in
1853, when the population was only
400, 900, showed an aggregate church
and chapel attendance Of l0l,9S2
The proportions are about l to 4 in
1868 and | to s in 1881. 1t would be
very interesting TO have like statistics
taken for the great American cities in
order to see whether the same decay
Of tho religious sentiment which has
been observed abroad is also at work
here. The national decennial census
will not supply the information, but it
Is Of sufficient interest to attract the
attention Of specialists. - Washington

NINE MILES OF TUNNEL.
A GREAT ENGINEER1Na FEAT.

The first complete railway train,
carrying one hundred passengers, pass.
ed through the St. Gothard tunnel on
Tuesday, Nov. lst in fifty minutes.
ln 1879 Italy, Germany and Switz,
orland signed convention guarantee.

would construct tho ST. Gothard rail
road and tunnel, Italy giving SO, 900.
600, Germany s40OO,000 and Switzer.
land 81 ,O00,0 The original estimates
of S37 400, 900 proved under the mark,
and IL was found that s51, 500. 900
would be required instead Germany
added s2,0OO,OOO and Switzerland
s1,6OO,OO0.
The work was begun in the Autumn
of 1872, and was completed on the
morning Of February 20, 1880. The
average daily progress was IS feet.
The number Of holes bored amounted
to 100000, 900 and 5000 tons ofdyna.
mito were used in blasting 1,65O.0OO
drills we're consumed, and 1,IGO,0O0
cart loads Of dirt were taken out from
the bowels Of tho mountain. Dming
theprogress OF the work 5Olaborers in
the mine were killed, and 400 disabled.
In proportion to the total number of
workmen employed the killed for !
per cent and the injured q per cent.
The laborcrs in tho tunnel also suffered
from q mysterious disease which was
traced by an Italian physician to para
sitical worms that were engendered by
the underground atmosphere and lodg.
ed in the intestines of men working in
it. A Swiss physician supplemented
this discovery by devising method OF
oxpellng the parasites.
The rock through which tho tunnel
was pierced varied from hard granitio
gneiss on the Swiss side, to gravel,
sand and pebbles on the Italian.
The st. Gothard tunnel proper be.
gins at Goeschenen, aud ends at Airolo.
Its length is nine and athird miles. or
As, 936 feet, TO be exact; it is nineteen
and a.hali feet high and twenty.six in
maximum width But the tunnel is
only one section of q railroad running
from Lake Lucerne in Switzerland to
Lake Maggioro in Italy. Besides the
big tunnel there are twelve other the
shortest Of which, Warren, is 1,106I
yards long, while the longest, Olberg,
reaches 2,O27 yards. Then there are
five tunnels between 220 and $50, and
twenty-five between 1l0 and 220I
yards, making in all about f(y-two
subsidiary tunnels of an aggregate
length Of sixteen miles. Between I'm.
mensee and Goeschenen there are
thirly.three tunnels between Airolo
and GlubiascO seventeen. Tho line IS
is carried over sixty-iour bridges and
the longest Of which, that of
Cadenazzo, in Tessn, consists of five
arches each having a span OF fifty. five
yards. The length OF the ST. Gothard
limo is l5l miles, seventeen per cent.
bridges and viaducts. Starting from
eleven miles from Lucernc,
the st, Gothard line runs along the
western shore Of Lake Zug, round the
bazo of the Righl and by Lake Lo.

child and I,
And dimplss gather with the smiles as sunshine
clears tho cloudy sky,
So gaily docs my little May
With her new guest share Thankful Day.
If there aro tears within my eyes, 1t IL because
my heart Is glad
with the young heart no longer gfievod, with
the young eyes no longer sad
And Tor the ceasing Of "the rain"
When hope aud JOY shine forth again.
-Nary D. Brine.
