Cost of the Channel Tunnel.

The probable cost of Channel tun-
mel has always been a very obscure
question, and Sir Edward Watkin has
hitherto been very silent about it. Yes
terday be felt himself in a position to
give some figures on this particularly
important point. He is making tun-
mel, somewhere or other, through one of
the hardest stratifed rocks he knew
This cost f38 q yard, and that means
roughly Eos, 900 mile. The channel
tunnel would be about twenty-four
miles. Instead of taking the cost at
G65, ,090 mile, let them assume that it
would be 100000 mile. and that
would represent cost of e.. 100000 for
the tunnel under the sea. That is his
estimate of the cost of the actual tun-
mel Next, he believed the estimate of
f350, coo for the tunnel to connect the
Chatham and Dover and the Southeast
ern railways would not be exceeded.
The entire cost of the work, therefore,
came to only e3,O0O,000. With an or
iginal outlay of this modest kind Sir
Edward was no doubt justified in de-
scribing the project as likely to be one
! of the most profitable ever undertaken
if proiitableness were the only thing
to be considered. But then, in this
modest estimate nothing is included for
the cost of fortifications at the English
end of the tunnel, every penny of which
should fall upon those who have made
them necessary. Mall Gazette.

Scared hv a Eiddla

Avery amusing scene, which illustrates
the superstition and ignorance of the
colored people on the peninsula, occurred
in the kitchen of a hotel at Milford a
few nights ago. A lad had been play
ing few tunes on an old violin, and
the others had been dancing to his music
in a merry mood. When bed time ar
rived the boy hung his fiddle near win
dow, and all were in the act of retiring
when low strains were heard to issue
from the fiddle, which was untouched
by human hands. There was at once a
general stampede from the house into
the snow, and cries that the fiddle was
bewitched. One colored man said it
was the ghost of Samuel Mason, who
was murdered few weeks since at Mil
ford, and another declared that he had
recognized the shades of his dead father.
Finally the bravest stpeered into the kitch-
en- and heard the fiddle still making the
mysterious sounds, and getting pole, he
knocked it from the nail and burned it,
just as our Puritan fathers of New Eng
land punished witches. But none of
the colored people would sleep in the
house that night. 1t is, perhaps, un-
necessary to add that current of air
was playing upon the vioiin.- Cafsfeld

The mass of fur on the satin chair,

The glory and wave of her red gold hf1r.
We had left the dance and stopped to whisper,
And beard i'll the distance the music float
Through the open doors, with light that fell
on
The snowy pearls at her snowy throat
My checks were flushed and my blood went
coursing,
With feverish throbs and Joy diviae;
had dared to love aud had dared to tell her
My love, and l touched her lips with mine.
But at the carriage door delaying,
In her swansdcwn cloak as she turned to
go,
She said in her playful way: Remember,
Good bye for Il little-A iiientot!'
We met and laughed, when my heart was
aching,
And she smiled at me as woman can;
heard her vow, with the lips that kissed me,
To be the wife of another man.
] looked in the glass, at her mirrored face,
And said: God grant you uce er may know
Ny grief, o eyes, with the siiken iaSitSa,
