something by Wednesday night, that the
council may take final action at that time.

The Sewer Tunnel.

The tunnel is just now unQueStionably
the most popular local topic before Mime
apolitans. The contractors, Messrs. Hawk
ms Bros, have reached !, 400 feet to point
between Fifth and Sixth avenues south and
between Second street and Washington
avenue. When the contractors were eXca-
waiting dry sand rock by the means OF blasts
and the pick, the work pro-
crossed very rapidly, but recently
the contractors have found that
they cannot get along quarter as fast.
They are in the first place obliged to get rid
Of 10000 gallons of water per hour. Then
the sand is so wet that for weeks not pick
has been employed. The soft sand caves
in several feet in advance of the worlmen
in spite of all they can do, leaving an area
Of-Seven feet above the arch of the sewer,
which has to be again carefully packed full,
not only above but on the sides. The ma
terial used for this purpose is crushed
granite, necessitating, of course, vast
amount of work not contemplated in the
contract. A narrow gauge track
is run through the tunnel so
far as built, and on this
is drawn cars by horse, carrying out the
refuse and sand and carrying i'll the crushed
granite cement and other materials. In
this hard sand excavations We're made 800
feet in advance of the masonry, but now
the tunnel has to be carefully timbered up
as fast as the sand tumbleS in to protect the
worl1nen engaged in constructing the arch.
Said Thomas w. Hawkins ''We have come
here to do the city a good job and intend
to do it, despite our present troubles. l
had rather do hard sand rock at ST. than
wet sand at $50 per foot. The wet sand
rate is S22.97 per foot. We can build the

Distance Diving.

OF all the silly ways of testing endur-
ance known to the modern athlete,
says the London Truth, distance div
ing'' is the %silliest, and on Saturday
last q competition of this description
very nearly ended fatally for the win
ner of it. This was at the Cambridge
University swimming ace the "dis-
tance diving being the first event in
the programme. A competitor named
Heathe covered a prodigious distance
under water. but on rising was too
exhausted to float, and was with great
difficulty rescued and brought round.
However, the length Of his dive was
sufficient to win the first prize, which
may console him if his health should
permanently suffer from the unnatural
effort.

"Of course we had a nine. Not a
professional nine-we had not come to
that yet; but all amateur nine that used
to visit the neighboring towns and vii
lagos on Saturdays and there engage in
play with an equal number of maniacs
similarly affected, beating and being
beaten. The members of the Excelsior
Club-all amateur clubs are called
either 'Excelsiors' OF 'Unions'-were
proud Of their record, proud of their
uniform, proud of their village and
their village was proud of them. In
deed, l think that when one of our
number had put on his white flannels
and colored stockings and star-be-
dccked cap and had slung a bat care
lessly over his shoulders, what with the
admiring glances of the women and
the audible enthusiasm of the awe
'smitten small boys, the heart that
throbbed under the big Z on his breast
'throbbed SO proudly that he would not
have exchanged his position-say at
second base-for that Of Chief Marshal
of the Fourth of July procession or
Alderman-and any one who has ever
lived in a country town knows what
that means.

a member of this club, at times Of the
nine-an unworthy member, though
never a brilliant player, and at all crit

sure to muff a ball at the wrong mo-

hailed by a derisive roar of BUTTER
fingers and on the ~score-sheet my
record generally looked like this:

SOUTHERN INNS IN 1870,

The Prices for Entertainment and the Kind

The roads that lead north and south
were good and well cared for; but the
inns throughout the whole South were
execrable. Travellers of all sorts have
agreed that the condition of the build
ings, the c~oarseness of the fare. the
badness of the beds and the exorbitance
OF the reckoning could not be equaled
elsewhere. Not one Of them displayed
a sign, and, save for the number of
handbills posted up beside the door,
the inn vas like every other house
along the way. The windows had often
no sashes, the roofs let in the rain.
Mattresses were unknown, and on the
hottest night in summer the weary
ledger was compelled to lie down upon
a feather bed. Breakfast cost six shill-
ings; dinner cost a dollar. A nights
lodging wa; half as much; but, if clean
sheets were demanded. the price was
siNpence more. Suppers were rarely
eaten. I%nn-keepers attributed these
evils to the customs of the land, and
declared that, while wayfarers found
entertainment at the houses of the
great. the condition of the tavern could
never be improved. There were, of
course, exceptions. Here and there in

sixpence, Virginia currency, the tray

On the wall was fastened a printed
table of rates. From this he learned
that breakfast cost two shillings and
dinner, with grog or toddy, was three;
