The work for the proposed
tunnel from Dover to Calais have
made such satisfactory progress
that its promoters, Colonel Beau
mort, r. E. and Captain English,
r. E., are now able tn employ
three shifts of men constantly
throughout the twenty-four hours,
and are sanguine of being able to
bore about thirty feet per day
when all the machinery is perfect
ed. At present two drills worked
by engines driven by compressed
air are at werk, and about thirty
labOrers are employed. The bore
is seven feet in diameter, and the
soil chalk. 1t is so firm that the
engineers are of the opinion that
no brick or cement work will be
required to shore it up.

A Giant Monopoly.

Only few months ago, Silver
ton, Marion county, was out of the
world upon its knees begging for
capitalists to come and build them
a railroad. By perseverance the
railroad was speedily pushed on to
completion and Silverton made
happy. But if we may presume
to Judge by the following para
graph from the Appeal, they begin
to regard it as a monopoly about
to grind them to impalpable fine
ness by its extortions:
The traveller is charged seventy
FIVE cents for riding On the narrow
gauge road from Silverton to
Woodburn, q distance of ten miles.
The company recently charged
81 so freight on three sewing
machines from Portland to this
place. These rates are largely in
excess Of those charged by the
wide gauge, and every able bodied
citizen along the line ought to
kick against the extortion and
howl too, for that matter. We
hear of much complaint regarding
such outlandish charges, and the
company will lose by the opera
ton unless it comes down on Its
tariff.
Kick against the eXtortion and
howl too-for what are railroads
built If not to be cussed?

A Phenomenon and a Theory.

A correspondent of the London
Nature, writing from Putney, says:
"Having occasion to go into my
garden about half-past ten o'clock
one night recently, I found there
was a thick white fog, through
which, however, a star could be
seen here and there. | had an
ordinary bedroom candle stick in
my hand, with a candle lighted, in
order to find the object ] wanted.
To my great surprise, ] found that
the lighted candle projected fam
tastic image of myself on the fog,
the shadow being about twelve
feet high, and of an oddly distorted
character, just as the Spectre of
the Brocked is said TO be. MAY
not the gigantic spirits of the
Ossianic heroes, whose form is com
posed of mist, through which the
stars can be seen, be derived from
the fantastic images thrown upon
the mountain fogs from the camp
fires of the ancient Greek? In a
land where mists abound super
stitious people might very readily
come to .consider mocking cloud
spectre to be supernatural, though
it was really their own image
mapni6ed.
