been worked for a considerable period,

The Tunnel at Libby Prison.

The March Century will contain the
story of "Colonel Roses Tunnel at Libby
prison" told by one Of the one hundred
and nine Union officers who escaped on
the night of February 9, 1864. The sues
cessful construction of this tunnel, dug
from a dark corner of the cellar of the
the prison, through fifty feet Of solid
earth, the only tools being two broken
chisels and wooden spittoon in which
to carry out the dirt,-was one of the
most remarkable incidents OF the war.
Colonel Rose, to whose indomitable
will and perseverance, the success of the
scheme was due, is now a captain in the
10th United States Infantry, and Of the
fourteen men who assisted in digging the
tunnel, eleven are still living. The mar
rative in the March Century, which is il
lustrated, forms one OF the untechnical
papers supplementing the War Series
and it is said to be one of the most re-
mantle records that the Century has evel
printed.

The Chattanooga COmmerciaI.

The assignment made by the Commer-
cial Printing Company of Chattanooga
shows how some newspaper men will
hold on to non.paying business to the
very last. An immense sum OF money
has been sunk in floating the CONNER
cial since it first started little over three
years ago, and one would think that its
managers ought to have found out long
ago that it would be only question OF
time until fnis and failure would be
scratched on tie books OF the company.
The Times in telling what it has cost says:
Since the Commercial company organ
lied in Sept. 1884, the amount of money
sunk in the effort to keep it going under
tie different arrangements is estimated
by one of the stockholders to be any.
where from $4,000 to $4,000. There
have been several changes since the pa.
