A GIGANTIC SCHEME.

Two years ago Heman Clark, the
well-known contractor, preached a
scheme for a great system of tunnels
under New York city and the East
and North rivers, connecting the city
with suburban points. Little atten-
ton was paid to the plan, as it was
considered too expensive to be prac-
ticable Now, however, Mr.. Clark
announces the completion of the ar
rangements for carrying out the
great work. a capital of $3.50, OOO,-
900 has been guaranteed, of which
$50, 100000 is considered sufficient
to do the tunnelling. The tunnels
will be $50 feet below the surface,
thus avoiding any difficulty with the
rivers The main tunnel will extend
from the city hall in New York to
Fleetwood park on the north, under
Brooklyn to Coney island on the
east, and under Jersey city to Newark.
There will be four tracks. Freight
and passengers will be carried. Pas
senger trains will run at full express

sTANLEY's LABORs ON THE CONGO

A railroad has been planned to car
nv freight around the cataracts
Soon, trading stations will be scat
tered along the five thousand miles
of navigable waters of the great
river. Stanley found a vast country
that had no owner. The river drains
a region containing more than a mil
lion square miles, much of which is
well peopled. The Congo Free State,
founded by Stanley's friend, Leopold
H., King of the Belgians, lies chiefly
south of the great bend of the river,
and contains an area of one million
five hundred and eight thousand
square miles; its population is more
than fOrty-twO millions. The arti-
cles collected from the African trade
are ivory, palm-Oil, gum-copal, rub
Der, beeswax, cabinet woods, hippo
potamus teeth and hides, monkey
skins, and divers others things. These
are bought with goods, such as col
ored beads, brass and copper wire,
cotton cloth, cutlery, guns, ammuni-
ton, and a great variety of articles
known as motions or trade
goods" The basis of all buying and
selling in the Congo Free State is
free trade; all nations that partici-
pated in the Berlin Congo conference
have a right to trade and barter and
establish posts within the bounda
ries of that territory, vast and rich,

 The fir=s intelligence that greeted him on his return was the news of Paul LlSl- mons es5ape from prison.

 The trial which waS to have ended in his disgrace end condemnation, would, perhaps, never tako place, and Camilla might stil! beiieve in the honor and hon. esty of her aova-.
 That which he sought was to render Paul utterly contemptib!e in the sight of the naughty Spanish girl. and he fclt that he had. lu 6 great measure, failed.
 He dispatched a special messenger to Ibel vile with |. letter for Siias Craig, in forming him of the young Mexican es- cape.
