portance of the project and how easily an armed invasion through the tunnsl could be stopped. Operations were begun in the work of building from both aides, and 6,000 feet had actually constructed on each side. mak- ing over two miles of tunnel that had been cut before work was suspended. The shaft on the English side was sunk to the depth of 163 feet before work was begun on the tun- nel. Thus far the boring is through gray from England to France. The boring was carried on at the rate of seventy-fve feet a day at each end of the tunnel, and if the company had not been prohibited from prosecuting the work at this time, 1t would have been long past the experimental stage.
 Time was when hanged men-men who had been legally dropped through traps with ropes about their necks-walked around in Ireland in considerable numbers, alive and well. They were esteemed by their neigh- bors as persons of distinction, for no Irishman can help honoring anybody who has cheated the law under any circumstances, says the San Francisco Argonaut. The finger of pride pointed out these rescued malefactors to strangers, and usually they died happy Iyish death from the offerings of whisky made them by their multitudes of admirers. These hanged men escaped justice through the connivance of the sheriff, who for con- sideration allowed the friends of the con- demned to stand under the gallows, catch tho criminal as he fell, and hold him up until in due time the slack rope was cut. The hero of the hour was then borne home in his coffin, and the neigh borhood went upon rejoicing spree.
 The decision of the United States Supreme court in the case involving the waterworks at Galesburg, Illinois, is Interesting. The facts are these: Certain parties contracted to build new works, to buy the mains, etc., and to supply the city. The works wore accepted by the city, with special commendation from the officers, whereupon the company issued and sold bonds. Later, the service proving unsatisfactory. the city annulled tho fran- chise and took possession of it's former prop erty. Then, the holders of the bonds on de- fault of the interest bought the property of the company and by law undertook to get possession of the mains aud provide supply ofswssef. Judge Gresham, of the United States circuit conrt- gsve . decision in 1888 in favor If the city, holding that no subse- quent party could acquire other rights than those originally possessed by the company, and that those were forfeited by non.ful6ll. ment of contract. And now the Supreme court has sustained the decision, affirming the right of the city to cancel the contract, and declaring its entire freedom from respon. sibility in regard to the bonds.

A Philadelphia man has curious collection of clovers from different States. The clovers are mounted upon card 70 as to represent four -leaved clover. One leaf is made up of eleven fourleave olovers, another of nine five leavsd clovers, another of nine six~ leaved clovers and the fourth of six seven- leaved clovsrs and four eight-leaved clovers. Tho stem is represented by series of olovsrs containing cup or funnel leaves, and at the very end is ono clover having nine leaves and cup and another clover having thirteen leaves.
 The Philadelphia Record has done geod work for the poor of that city. For several ysars the Record, feeling that the railroad monopoly was taxing the people too heavily for their coal, opened coal business of its own, bringing in coal by the train load and selling it at prices below the market. Deal- ers' rates were $6 50 when the Record began its work; and tho Record has steadily knocked down the price till now coal is sold from its pile for $4,50-and even at that price the Record gives the sslong ton" of 2,240 pounds-a large gain for the consum- ers, who before this enterprise he'd not only to pay higher rates, but take s'short-wsigh' tons."
