directed by the to be provided by engineers naed
in tie ect. He added:
II is not stated I'm the report by Dr. Nevins n
what way the ventilation of the side tunnels coul
he improved but II would seem that such lmproNeu
Ventilation cannot be furnished without openings
direct from the side tunnels 10 and encioaching upO,
The spacc Of the roadway above. and an niiylinvu
that the railroad company has MOI the right or suth
to make such openings
The nuisance caused By the burning OF SOFT coal

The rabble Is even more kale1doscop1o than at Tinglers, and all kinds and con- ditions of men arc met on the streets, the most abject and miserable creatures imaginable. Disease-stricken beggars str teh forth their palsied palms for money, but no body takes notice of them. Then there comes along the prosperous merchant, the loud-mouthed hawkers of small wares, the fruit wonder, and donkey boys with shr.ll pipings, and the sharp eyed Jew with hands behind his back. straw hats as large as cartwheels and faces hidden behind folds of linen, their eyes peeping out and half smiling at Christian curiosity and modern trousers. Slaves with bare backs tuggins at their wor :soldiers counterparts of our men, at-arms, with long beanpo!e guns slung over their shoulders hunters, with bags of rabbits partridges; and many other comical and interesting figures of human ity, play their parts in the panorama of the African orient.
 Out of the spacious market-places were crowds of people seemingly doing nothing but existing, and yet many hidden cur rents courscd beneath that moving sea of turbans and fezes. The Moors appear stupid and meek, but they wear mask, and behind 1t they keep up tolerable thinking. Artisans ply their trades in dingy holes and collars, and tho troders sit cross-legged In their cuddy-houses wearing on their swarthy faces an e1. preston of utter unconcern-and yet just begin trading with one, and in @ mo ment you will be surrounded with vo ciferous clamor of commerce, and then you will understand how much there ii behind the Moorish mask.
