ALTHOUGH very little has been said about
it lately, the scheme for tunnelling the
British Channel has not been abandoned.
Indeed it is being so vigorously, and as it
appears so successfully, prosecuted, that
the English public, which has hitherto in
true British style been sceptical as to its
feasibility, has taken the alarm, and agita-
ton against the project is assuming a politi-
cal form. 1t is even said that the tunnel
has been made the subject of Cabinet de-
bate, and that most of the Ministers are OPP
posed to It. This opposition is based upon
the alleged facilities which the tunnel
would afford the French in case they wished
to invade the tight little island, but what
reason there is to suppose that the French
would march their army into tunnel which
their enemies could instantly flood does not
appear

Charity as an Amusement.

Mr.. James T. Field wrote to Miss Milford in
1852: "How much L enjoy Londonl Not the
dinners and the opera solely; my tastes are low
in some departments, and what many others
would call ungenteel 1 dote upon. For instance
l like those small specimens of humanity in
the shape of ragged boys who sweep the cross
ings, and have established such an intimacy
with them, that in certain streets they scent
my coming afar off, ana run to receive nay tri-
fling gratuity with grin of satisfaction that is
perfectly delightful. 1t is my delight on re-
turning from an evening party on foot late at
night, and sometimes early in the morning
for Londoners keep untoward hOnrs-to en-
counter a poor devil, barefoot and hungry, and
surprise him with Niagara of hot coffee and
a round of meat-stuffs ordered for him at
cheap establishment near Covent Garden or in
the Strand. One of these boys picked up
few nights ago, sitting on pavement smoking
the end of cigar which some passer-by had
thrown into the street. He looked as he
crouched along side of the wall like a bundle
of rags smouldering away in the cold night air.
l wish you could have seen those sausages de-
scend into his poor empty. stomach, and hear
the gurgling of two pots OF beer as they went
down TO Join company with the solidsa This Is

A PERSONAL friend of the widow of the
gallant Gen. Custer informs the New York
Herald that this lady is not, as has been as
serted, in destitute circumstances. s'She re-
ceives,n he writes, ''from the government
the small pension of lieutenant coloneps
widow, on which, however, she is not who'll
ly dependent, and that her position as seere-
tary of the Decorative Art Society of New
York was assumed by her five years ago, not
so much as means of support as from her
brave desire to lead an active and thorough
ly independent life."

If there is any truth in the announcement
that an American bishop is to be raised to
the rank of Papal Legate or Plenipoten-
tiary, the fact is an illustration of the sagac-
ity with which the affairs of the Latin
Church have been from time immemorial
administered. The American branch OF
the Catholic Church is worth fostering, and
that seems to be the opinion at the Vatican.
It is not unlikely that one of the vacant Car
dinalates will be filled by an American nom
inee, and we may yet live to see an Ameri-
can wearing the tiara.

THE Two Republics newspaper of the City
of Mexico says that the past year has been
the most prosperous one in Mexican history.
The two trunk lines of railroads leading
north and west from the capital have ad-
vanced toward completion; the connection
between that city and Leon is nearly effect
ed; and the other line, which is confidently
expected to bring a degree of prosperity
hitherto unknown to that region, is being
pushed with energy toward the Rio 'Grande.
The laying of a submarine cable to Vera
Cruz and Coatzacoalcos, the forming of an
italian colony in Vera Cruz, and the liberal
subsidy granted to steamship line which is
to bring immigrants, are mentioned as evil
dences Of the new order of affairs in the
country. The appearance of American visi-
tors, business men chiefly, is regarded as an
encouraging circumstance. But the great
est blessing of the year is the peace which
has been unbroken. Individual liberty and
the freedom of the press have been respected
as never before.

AMERICANS are becoming nation of cof-
fee drinkers. The consumption of tea per

other hand, drinks less coffee in proportion
to population than generation ago, while
