Under New York.

To obviate the difficulties that the rail.
roads meet in getting into aud out oil
New YORK, it is projected to build a
gigantic system OF tunnels connecting
New York, jersey City aud Brooklyn.
An extensive series OF borings has been
made, aud the engineers pronounce the
scheme perfectly practicable. A double
track tunnel is to be built in the solid
granite about 10 feet below the surface,
with stations reached by elevators. Fa-
cilities are to be provided for transport
ing $1,000 passengers per hour. The
motive power will be electricity, the
same force will light up the tunnel and
carriages, and perfect ventilation and
drainage are to be secured by means OF
immense machines constructed for the
purpose. The great depth chosen will
remove all possible danger from
pressure overhead, either under the
cities or beneath the water. With i'm
proved processes for work, the construc-
ton of the tunnel will cost far less than
it would have required even so late as
ten years ago, and the prospects of pay
are calculated from an assumption that
the line will carry at the outset at least
100, 900 passengers per day, besides an
immense quantity Of freight. 1t can be
built inside OF five years, at cost not
exceeding that OF the suspension bridge
over the East River. L is proposed to
place the eastern terminus on Atlantic
avenue, Brooklyn, at or near the Flat
bush station Of the Long Island Railroad;
the New York terminus beneath the
Battery, aud the New Jersey terminus
near the station of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the connection with which is
expected to be an important eleme Mt in

tack was being made by soldiers. The
frightened horses, followed by the bel
lowing bull, ran over everything in their
way, and Hall and his guarl were
knocked down like tenpins. The in
slant he was freed he rose to his feet
among the horses and ran with them,
hanging to the tail Of pony and yelling
to keep the animals excited. He was
carried along for a mile or more, and
then as the speed Of the herd began to
slscken, he suddenly caught sigdt Of his
mule. She was as obedient to his
whistle as a dog, and he was soon on
her back. As he circled around to the
north the herd followed after, and it was
not until she had put five miles behind
him that they slacIened up and finally
stopped. A hundred warriors had pur-
sued the herd, but before they could get
a mount Hall had long start. He was
riding without saddle or bride, but that
was no trick for a scout. He headed
away for Fort Wallace, and, thoIgh pur-
sued to within a mile of the post, none
of the Indians got within mile Of him.
After the red men had been thorough
ly whipped and returned to their RESET
vations, Hall and l one day met four
Cheyennes who were out hunting. All
four recognized him at once, as all were
in the lines when be raa the gauntlet,
and two of them had hold of his arms
when the stampede occurred. We sat
down for a smoke, and, after ipquiriug
about Roman Nose and Black Bird, Hall
observed:
"You were having lots of fun with me
that day, and have always felt sorry
that l had to leave you so suddenly"
awe are at peace, now," replied one
of the warriors, as he drew his knife and
felt its clgc, "and l will tell you some
thing. Before you were burned at the
stake should have used this very knife
to cut out your tongue and cut OF your
lips and eyelids, and l would have taken
muscles from your arms ald legs to make
bowstrings for the little boys"
"Thanks-have drink !" replied Hall,

Der which could have been supplied in
1000 years by mortality at the rate of
two and half bears per annum. Prob.
ably this estimate is very far below the
mark. The cave is so dry that the black
earth lies in the state of a loose powder,
which retains so considerable portion
of its original animal matter that it is
occasionally used by the peasants as an

The Abori1inal SaVages OF China.

Living within the borders of China
and in active hostility to her, dwells an
alien people quite as different from the
Chinese as our Indians are from white
men. One of these tribes lives in the
mountainous region Of outhwestera Sc
chuen, one of the richest and most pop
ultus provinces OF the empire, on the
Upper Yangtse River. The tribe are
know as the LOlos. and are the aborigines
of the country. They are thorough bar
barars, and the Chinese have as yet
neither conquered nor civilized them
About six years ago Mr.. Hosie who
wrote a book on his travels in China,
met some of the Lolos, whom he de-
scribed MS tall and physically fine people.
Some of our Indian tribes are being ab.
sorbed gradually by the intermixture OF
white blood. The Lolos, however, sue
ceed In keeping Themselves entirely dis
tiuct. The Chinese have hemmed them
in on all sides, but they maintain their
racial purity. In fact, the Chinese are
well content if they can keep these saw
ages within their wild hills, for they are
apt to be on the warpath, aud when they
raid tie valleys and plains they carry
Chinese women and children into cap
tivity and make the Government great
deal of trouble. San Francisco Exam
