COMPLETION OF THE LONGEST
TUNNEL IN THE WORLD
A diHpauh from Berno, Switzerland,
itnnonncos that tbe work of piercing
Mount St. Gothurd waa satixlactorily
completod at 'Jo clock on numlity morn
in4, l'ubruury 2Uth, 18S0, amid great
ri'iuiuiiiL'a. 1 he contract tor tbo con
Btrnctlon ol tho St. Gotbard tunnel was
awarded to II. Louis Kiivrc, of Geneva,
oh AufjuBlTth, 1Hi2. It wtw one ot
tbo conditions ol tbe contract that the
perforation should boeotmilotod witbiu
eight yeara from tbat date, with a largo
premium in case ot tho completion ol
the work in a shorter time, and with
a not leas lieu vy penalty in cbho of do-
lay. It will be seen, tliorelbro, that
tho contractor has kept insido of his
limit by some months, ilia opinion.
that thoi parfrtratinn tmnlri h annotn.
pliHhotl in a considerably less period.
would doubtlues haro been justibed but
lor tbe lact that prouress was iio
quontly impeded by tbo caving in ol
the roek and by the eruption of wator
from tho fissures in the strata. Despite
these dilficultiea, which were sometimes
serious, and always great consumers
ol lime, Al. huvro bus tbo satisfaction
of having horod tbo longest tunnel in
the world by over a mile in less time
by over live years than was required
to boro tho ilont Ccnis tunnel, now
tho second greatest work of tbo kind.
This rapid achievement is a triumph
lor the improved drilling machinery ol
modern invention which has been em
ployed npon tbo St. Gothard tunnel
from the beginning. Comparison ol
tbo tbreo lurgcxt tunnels shows that
Mont Ccnis, length H mile, letta a few
yards, cost $ 15,UUU,000,wn constructed
in tbe thirteen years from 1857 to
1870; tho lloositc tunnel, 'Si miles, cost
$13,0110,000, was finished in eleven
years from tho timo tho work was
properly begun ; and tbo St. Gothard,
length 01 miles, has been borod in less
than seven years and a half. The
contract prices sum up tho total osti
malo cost ol e"J,700,000. This amount
was to cover all expenses, whothor
direct or accessory, and all risks and
contingencies from whatever cause
arising, II tins partot tno contract is
held to, tho St. Gothard will be much
tho ebeupest of the threo tunnels in
cost of construction, in addition to its
other and sutlicieut distinctions.
Tbo project of tunneling Mount St.
Gothard may be said to have grown
out of tho successful piercing of Mont
Ccnis. L'ntil that work was accom
plished, most of tbo travel and trans,
port of merchandise between Italy and
fSwitr.orland, Northeastern Franco,
Woslern and Central Germany and
Northern Enropo were accomplished
over the Alpine passon, which had
their northern termini in Switzerland.
Tims tho threo great carriage roads,
tho Simplon, tho tSlugen and the til.
Gothard, innnopoliced by fur the larger
part of tho transit, though other loss
notable passes, and particularly that
of tho Al on t Cents, mai utained an active
competition. The opening ol tbo Mont
Coma tunnel in 1870 put an end to the
profitable monopoly of the Swiss high
ways, and was a serious blow to both
Italy and Switzorland. The lact wits
recognized at onco that something
must bo dono to open a now and diroct
railway routo across tho Alps. Tho
flint proposal was to follow tho lino ql
tho bimlon road, and not only waa n
company formed, but the work of grad
ing was begun in acnordanoe with that
plan. It became evident, however,
that the Simlon route would not ac
complish what Italy and Switaerland
desired, sinco it would be, liko the
Mont Conis road, directly tributary to
the interests of France. That projoct
was abandoned, and tho choice then
lay between theSplugen and St. Goth
ard routes. The Ibrmer reqnired a
tunnol ol only four miles in length, and
was much favored on that account ;
but tho fatal objection waa that, like
the Simlon road, it must pass down
the Valley of tho Upper llliino and
along tho Austrian frontier, honco be
ing liablo to interruption and control
by a hostile force in the evont of Euro
pean complications from which Switz
erland should not bo able to koep froo,
as a neutral, Tha St. Gothard route
bad a nine-mile tunnel to be bored, but
it had tho advantage, chief ot all In
the Interests of tho countries which
proposed to construct it, of beginning
id the very heart of the Swiss Con fed
oracy, passing wholly on Swiss soil, far
removed from tho castorn and western
frontiers, to Lago Maggiore and the
Lake of Lugano, where connections
would bo made with tec Italian lines
and the port ot Genoa.
For these reasons tho St. Gothard
lino was adopted, and in 1H71 the
Swiss, Italian and German Govorn
menu concluded a treaty determining
tbo poiuts relativo to tba routo, con
struction and connections.
The threo contracting powers agroed
to contribute to tbo enterprise. 86,000,
000 francs, as follows : Italy, 4r(000,
000 ; Switzerland, 20,000,000 ; Ger.
many, 20,000,000. The Italian and
Swiss Railway Companies held a con
leronce, a company was organized, and
in 1M7'A, aa otHtnH, M Pavr mmu ike
successful bidder among; those who
proposed to undertake the construction.
In tho Fall ot 1872, the plans and
preparations having boon completed,
the actual work was begnn. The oross
suction of the St. Gothard is (he tame
as that of tho Frojus or Mout Conis
tnnnol, and the same technical meth
ods ot excavation wore followed. The
engineer possessed several advantages,
however, over the engineer ot tho Mont
Conis line. II o had the exporienoe of
that groat work as a guido ; improved
and tested machinery from the start;
whereas machinery was not employed
in the Mont Cenis at all until the fifth
yoar of the construction, and the use
of dynamite and other explosives not
known until the Mont Cenis waa tar
advanced. It was possible, moreover,
to sink a considerable numbor of shafts
along tho lino of the St. Gothard in
caso it bocamo nocossary, but tha oc
casion did not arise. Very litllo hard
labor was employed; almost none after
tbo first two years, the Dubois Francis
perforators were first used, making an
avorago advance of 6.63 lineal loot per
day. They wero aaoceeded by Fer-
rnnv'a anif tli. riailv arlvanf-M . In.

chines of two or threo inventors were
placed and worked together on the
same carriage, to tost their capacity.
My thiol mean the utmost oi tha ad
vance possible was secured, and experi
mental result were obtained which
will be of groat value in further enter
prises ot tunnoling. It ia estimated
that rovetement waa neeessary for
about one half tho longth of the tun
nol. The difficulties in the way of
caving ana oi water eruptions were
much groater than wore met with in
the prosecutions of tha work on the
Mont Conia routo, which was specially
free from iprlngs. lTp to January 1,
1877, the heading of tha SL Gothard,
which was driven on the top abnnt
CLEARFIELD,
citrlit foot snuare, bad been carried 18,
238 foot, and it was then predicted
that the tunnel would be completed in
tbo Hummer of 187U. -
The line of the tunnel loaves the St.
Gotbard carriage road to the left at
Alrolo, passes northwest under the
Itastulhorn, the St. Anna glacier, tho
village of Andormatt, the river Reusa
at about the Dovil's liridge, and comes
out at Goschonon, at the level oi tbat
villnge and tba carriage road.
The St. Gothard Railway will form
tho shortest line of transit between tbe
Valley of the Rhine and the Moditer
raneaji, and it baa been well said that
when the geographical relations of the
countries t aorvea to connect aro con.
sidored, togothor with the vast political.
military and commercial interests
which will bo affected by it, it may
Bulely bo characterized as tbe great

POLITENESS BY THE BOOK.
One of tbe most common complaints
against children ia tba they aro lack
ing in good manners. The laot that
many ot the complainors aro porsons
who would not be selected aa models
ot perfection in etiquette has nothing
to uo witn it. it is oiton tne caso mat
very rude and impolito adults spend
much of their time in snarling at
children and telling thorn to "behave."
Tbe injunction to "behave1' is some
times accompanied with a emack and
at othor times only with tho promise
of ono. Perhaps those disagreeable
persons who vox tbo children into
fruitless endeavors at reformation of
oonduct aro tbomselvos deeply sensible
of thoir own shortcomings. Having
boon negloctod in their youth, and, it
trainod at all, trained in some other
way than that in which they should
have gono, they want to see tho rising
generation made models of true polite
ness, hoi id eomlort may now bo min
istered to the souls of persons who are
woary with tho worry of trying to
make youngsters behave themselves.
It will cheer these worried souls to
know that organized effort has tukun
slin.io in St. Louis to reform children
by rule and compass from tho ways of
unruly boorwbiioiia. 1 ho school Hoard
of that city bus resolved to add a course
of lessons in etiquette to tba regular
curriculum of the pnblio schools
Manuals of politeness are to bo furn
ished, and some of tho boot readers
will road aloud from these, tbe teachor
lollowing in a brief oral exposition with
practice in the various branches. Tbe
studios in etiquette are to cover a wide
range. General precepts aro to be
particularized into auch details aa
dress, carriago and bearing, conversa
tion, table mannora, riding and driving,
school deportment and tho rules of be
havior laid down by George Washing
ton. Thore can hardly be a more en
larged field for study and practice
than this involves ; nor ia there any
field of education in which there is
greater scope for the ingenuity of tbe
urbane teachor. Much deponda on
the teacher, and far more on bor man
ner than on the matter of her instruc
tion. A teacher who undertakes to
"hear a recitation" in politeness, after
tho wooden manner in which a large
proportion of the recitations are
"hoard," will make tho thing intensely
ridiculous. An acidulous ponton whoso
habit ia to enforce lessons by scolding
them into tho children will make her
victims hate politonese and despise tbe
vory nome of it. The Instructor who
drills tbe classes in tho mere observ
ance of polite forme and phrases may
succeed in rescuing tbe aubolara from
the extremity of boorinhneaa, but will
fail in imparting to them any of the
graces of genuine good breeding. The
teacher whose custom it la to bark and
bito at tho poor chidrua iu ordor to
drive instruction into their unwilling
minds will find himself a laughing stock
aa be roads off from his politeness book
some pleasant injunction to courteous
demeanor.
Thoro is a grual deal of so-called
politeness which is only of the books,
bookish. It is stilted, empty, formal
and unsatisfactory. It is well that
children spoak when tboy are apokon
to, do as thoy are bidden, salute their
betters in an elegant manner, koep
their persons cloan and do unto others
as thoy would have others do to
them. But tbe mechanical ritual of
all these things may be made a con
tinual horror. Some teachers and
parents keep childron in a constant
state of worry by saying, aa thoy twoak
the ears of the poor creature or with
the knuckle rap thorn on tbe head :
"Sit up, thore I" or "Behave now, will
yon ?" Many otherwise exoellent poo
plo introduce this sort of etiquette drill
at the table, until the rigorous way in
wbicb the lambs are made to bleat out
"please" and "thank you" is enough to
destroy the appetite ot anybody who
S radices and values true politonoas.
ucoesa or fuilure in teaching politeness
depends more on wholher tbe teacher
is or is not polite, than on the particu
lar manna) of etiquette whioh a School
Hoard mar select. There are fine arts
and true graces in real politeness which
somo boors can never master. There
is a refinement and an elegance in it
which is inborn with many people. If
instruction in the art is attempted with
the right spirit and the proper aort of
people there ia hope that it may be
moasuiably successful. ' But there are
some crusty and ill favored impartcrs
ot instruction who should forever be
excused from all attempts at teaching
tne doctrines orpractioee ot etiquette.

A STORY OF TWO HUMORISTS.

(From tho Carldl (Nor.) Appeal,
It was nearly twontv years ago when
Dan Do Quillo and Mark Twain at
tempted to start a raperin Mondocino
oounty. They tqok the type and
material of their recently del u net estab
lishment in Han Francisco, and loading
the stuff on a big wagon, struck out
into tbe country to retrieve their tor.

it stood In the lorms, tiod uu tne
articles with stout cords by a process
well known to printers, and, packing
them closely in boxes, vowod to estab

politics and history of the Pacific

stance taken place, It ia evident that
tbe newspaper which they contem
plated founding would have beon alive
to-day. J heir ourney over tbe moun
tains was utterly uneventful until thoy
reached Simpson 'a Station, a spot well
known to old travolora on tbat routo.
lloro thoy mot a party of emigrants
making fur Lower California, and the
hitter had with them a small mountain
howitzer which they had brought with
them across the plains.
iwain took a great lancy to this
gun, and ottered titty dollars lor It.wilb
two kegs of powdor. The emigrants
were glad enough to part with it, lis
they concluded the time lor its us had
passed. Dan thought tho purchase ol
tho artillery and military supplies was
a reckless piece ot extravagance, and
said as much, but Mark replied;
"When we start oar paper wo must

artillery lias a big bulgo on tbo bust

ifornia should be without t. howitzer.
If a man comes In for a retraction, we
can blow him into the next county.
tho howitzor iroos.
Thissilenced argument, and the next
day the two journalist took tho road
with their printing outfit and artillery.
The next night they camped in a
mountain ravine, fifteen miles trom
Simpson's, and, after building the usual
camp firo, fell asleep. About eleven
o'clock the horses wakened them by
prancing about, and tbe two journalists
wero led to tho conclusion that a party
of Indians was making arrangements
for a night attack. Jn the clear moon
light human forms could bo distin
guished about half amilo away, at the
toot of tho ravino. The idea of encoun
tering Indians had never entered the
beads of tbe two fortune-seekers, and
they had no arms. Suddenly Twain
brightened up, remarking:
"i ne howitzer r
"We've got nothing but powdor,"
said Dan.
"Well, powdor'II scara 'em ; and
we'll load Lor up."
ine piece waa immediately loaded
wltb a trootl blur vharo:o. and tbo two
men felt quite certain that tho Indians,
lioaring tho roar of the gun, would
boat no unconditional retreat. The
piece was hardly loaded and pluood in
position wbon about forty redskina
came charging up the ravine.
1 wain seized a brand trom the camp
fire and was about to lay it on tbo
touch-hole, when Dan yelled "Hold
on I" as ho rammed something into
the mouth of tho piece and remarked :
" Turn er loon.
Tho roar of the howitzer echoed
through the lonely forest, and the sav
age, with frantio cries of pain, roolod
down the ravino in wild confusion.
"What in h I did you put in 7"
asked Mark. '
"A oolnmn ot solid nonpareil and a
couple ol stioks of your spring poetry."
ine poetry did the business, Dan.
Got ono of your geological articles
ready for the next charge, and I guoss
it'll lot the red devils out for tho pres
ent campaign." ,
i he savages again advanced. Mark
attendod to tho powdor, and Dan as
sorted the shot, so to apeak.
"jeema 1'ipos song, 'My Mountain
nome.'" ' 8 7
"An aoroelio by John R. Ridge, in
long primer."
"It II paralyze em."
"Frank i'ixley on the Constitution-
half a column of leaded brevier."
"II it bit 'em, tbe day ia won." '
"Your leador on 'Law and Order.' "
"Save it a a last rosort."
Dan pulled the type out of the boxes
and stuffed column after column in the
howitzer's month as the savagoa came
charging on. Another round from the
gun and the redskins rolled over each
other like boulders swept away by a
mountain cloud burst. Mark, in an
eostacy of delight, pulled an American
flag out of bis effects, nailed it to the
tail-board of the wagon, and waa about
to make a speech, when the dusky
figures of tbo Iocs wore once more soon
moving to the attack.
Tho pioce was again loaded, and this
time with a double charge. Mark's
leader on "Law and Order ;" the puff
ol an auction bonae, by trod. Mcurel
lish, "and a sickener." Dan said : Frank
Grose's verso on "Rebel loll;" an
agricultural article by Sam. Scbaugb,
bowing the chemical properties of
corn juice as an educational lever ;
maiden poetical effort by Oliver Uar
por, and some verses by Col. Ceremony
and Frank Soule completed tbe load.
"That poetry reaching 'em first will
throw 'em into confusion, and my
editorial coming on the beela of the
rest will result in a lasting demoralisa
tion. It will be like the last cavalry
charge of the French troops at the
battlo of Austerliti."
For the third and last time tbe
faithful howitzer belched its typograph
ical compliment to the advancing foe.
The havoo waa terrible. There waa a
wild yell from acore of throats, and
then tho low groans of the dying floated
up the ravino on the gentle wind. The
two men walked over the Hold of
slaughter and counted fifteen aborigi
nals lying in heaps. The bodies were
horribly rnntilated with nonpareil,
bourgeois, "caps," rniecry dashoa, and
unassorted pi.
"My leader Cooked that ' man's
goose," said Maik, pointing to a savage
banging over the limb of a oedar.
"My ceological article did tbe busi
ness for him," rojoined Dan, nodding
careloasly at an Indian, whose bead
was lying twenty yards away."
"The pen is mightier than the
sword."
"Yon bet. Hurrah for Faust and
Goltemborg I"
"la there any type left 7"
"Not a pound."
Ten days later ihe two Journalistic

disoouragod and footsore, ana socursd
