An English Story Of American In
genuity.
The following curious bit of misinformation
appears in the Daily Telegraph of London:
American ingenuity, stimulated to almost
suberhuman efforts of conception by the favor
able results of the experiments recently made
with view of tunneling the bed of the British
Channel, has put forth an amazing project for
connecting Great Britain with the United
States by transatlantic railway. Rejecting
the notion.o of driving tunnel under the ocean
as too tedious and expensive, the devisers OF
this scheme propose to sink upon the Allan tic
bed AN iron tube socae three thousand miles
long and twenty-six feet in diameter, through
which two trains might travel simultaneously
with perfect convenience and safety. As,
however, this tube would be subjected to exte-
rior water pressure equal to about 120 atmos-
pheres, its casing will have to be at least eigh-
teen inches thick. The tube is to consist Of
sections, each 160 feet in length, and is to be
laid down in the following manner: Five
such sections are to be welded together upon
firmly anchored pontOons, both ends OF the
length prepared for sinking being hermetl-
cally closed, but in such sort that they
can be opened from within. Then the en-
tire COM mpartmeut, 800 feet long, is
to be lowered into the sea by steel chains, so
that it shall reach the bottom in imm ediate
proximity to the section it is destined to join.
The junction will of course be effected by sub
marine workmen; and the processes will be
carried on with undertaking regularity, start
ing from the Am ,rican coast, until the shores
of Ireland shall be attained by the mighty
tube. Meanwhile the laying OF rails, tele'
graph wires, lighting and ventilation appara-
tus, will go on inside the tube as it grows long
er and larger. Mr.. Edison believes that he
can perfect an electric locomotive to draw the
trains along through the tube in fifty hours
from shore to shore, and the cost of the whole
line, rolling-stock included, is not to exceed
one hundred and sixty millions sterling"

PHILADELPHIA American: We should
not like to say which is the best of tie Gov
ernor's messages of this year. But it is
easy to say which is the worst. Mr.. Plais-
ted of Maine, former member of the Re-
publican party, and now the Greenback
Governor of Maine, bears away the bill.
For some weeks past, we infer, Mr.. Plaisted
has been reading nothing but "Natio all
news, apers. He may like that sort of diet,
but we should say that it has proved in his
case an extremely unwholesome pabulum.
No doubt he has been counting on making
a sensation by his fearless remarks on cor
porati' ms, millionaires, interest of money,
and other favorite topics of his favorite
newspapers. If so, his wish has been graf
flied. The message has produced a sensa-
tion of wonderment that any man with abil-
ity enough to win his way to the Executive
Chair OF New England State, should prove
so devoid of common sense and ordinary
gumption. Mr.. Plaisted has not helped his
party, but he has helped the country to real
ize what half baked statesmen are the lead
ers of that party.

Sheridan. the Delightful Debtor.
Temple Bari

Temple Bar.
Sheridan's coal merchant one Robert Mitch
ell, had heavy demand against him for Goals,
which he could not get settled. One day, hav-
ing lost all patience, he attacked the great
manager merciessly, and swore he would not
leave the house without the whole of his mon.

pounds. Sheridan had not so many shilings
in his possession at the tme Its very true

would have his bond to the utmost farthing.
Then Sheridan paused, and in voice of deep
emotion exclaimed: "Then would to heaven

to his pocket, "but one thing 1 can, will, 1
ought to do there" grasping MitchelPs hand,
"never let it be said that while Sheridan had
guinea in his pocket he refused it to his
friend, Bob Mitchell" Mitchell stood aghast
for moment, then pocketing the guinea, he
rushed out of the house and to the latest hour
of his life, never tired of displaying the last
guinea that his friend Sheridan had in the
world.
Michael Kelly relates another story as good.
During the time that he was acting manager
of Drury Lane, the narrator became responsi-
BILE for debt he had contracted for the thea
tire, and Sheridan, as usual, failing to meet 1t
the hard-hearted creditor, demonstrated with
him on his cruelty, reasoned with him on the
hardship of the law of Imprisonment for debt,
pointed out that he had act d in an arbitrary,
unchristian manner, until he had so thorough
ly softened and convinced him that before the
man left the house Sheridan had borrowed
42O0 OF him, and left upon his mind an impress
sion that he had been highly favored by the
great manager deigning to accept the favor.
A creditors levee was held daily in his house,
his library, parlor, buffers room, and even the
staircases were every morning filled with
motley crowd, anxiously listening for the
sound of his footsteps. When at last he came,
elegantly dressed, all smiles and urbanity,
shaking hands with one, noddng to another,
he seemed to cast charm over all fellows that
had been raging like tigers a few minutes be-
fore, could scarcely summon the courage to
state their errand while others seemed actual
ly to forget what brought them there. Byron

TUESDAYS Washington Star says: "a
United States Senator who is an intimate
friend of Senator Blaine, said yesterday that
he was satisfied that the latter had not been
rendered the Secretaryship of State by Gen.
Garfield. This Senator added, however that
he believed Mr.. Blaine would be appointed
to that position; that what the people have
universally endorsed is likely to be done by
the new Administration, and all sections,
and all classes of this country have endorsed
the suggestion of the appointment of Mr..
Blaine as Secretary of State. The Senator
further said that he was satisfied that Mr..
Blaine would accept the appointment if ten
dered him, but that Mr.. Blaine was not the
man to even intimate in advance of an Of
fer that he wants the place."

Garfeld's First Tailor.
THE STORY OF MAN WHO TRUSTED THE

THE STORY OF A MAN WHO TRUSTED THE
PRESIDENT FOR A SUIT OF CLOTHES.
Peter S. Haskell, of Troy, n. Y, at
tended the Inauguration md renewed his
acquaintance with President Garfield
Connected with the acquaintance there is
an incident of romantic interest. In 1858
General Garfield, while attending college
at Wllliamstown, Mass, poor in purse but
earnest in purpose, employed his vacation
in earning the wherewithal to pay his col
lege expenses. Hearing Of Campbellite
church in the town of Poestenkill, be
wendell his way thither, and, making him.
self known to some of the brethren, he en-
gagged to preach for them, receiving a
small compensation for the service. At
the same time he taught writing school,
and from this service added little to his
earnings. Young Garfield impressed him.
self favorably upon the minds of all with
whom he came.in contact, and it was seen
that there was the stuff in him for the fu-
ture development of marked character
One day prominent member of the Camp
bellite persuasion who had been very much
attached to Mr.. Garfield called at the mer-
chants establishment in Troy. saying that
a friend of his, student of Williams Col
lege, who had been preaching for the
Campbellites in his place, stood in need of
a suit of clothes. but he had 70 money to
pay for them just then. ''But,'' said
Larned, "this is a young man who has the
right sort of material in him; he is honest,
and is going to rise in The world, and you
may safely trust him for the clothing
Mr.. Haskell replied: ''Send the young
man on and 1 will fit him." The suit OF
clothes was furnished, Garfield agreeing to
pay for them in instruments within nine
months, and he religinusly kept his word.
During the late political campaign it
was charged in Democratic paper in
Troy that Garfield had never paid for that
suit of clothes. Peter Haskell promptly
published card in the Troy ''Times' de-
Dying the allegation, and stating that the
account was settled precisely in accordance
with the agreement; that he had seen Gar
field poor, and now he was not rich, but III
all things he had discerned the rlse of the
man to greatness upon the basis of keep
ing his word. as he did in the purchase of
that suit of clothing from him when stu
dent at Williamstown and paying precise
ly as he had agreed Mr.. Haskell, for the
first time in his life, took an active part
in politics during the recent campaign in
behalf of his old customer, and though a
man of limited means he visited Washing
ton for the purpose Of seeing him inaugu-
rated President. He called upon the Pres
ident-elect and was at once recognized by
President Garfield, who greeted him with
the greatest cordiality, and Peter s. Has
