FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Farm nnd Gnrdea Nate. Look for grubs among your peach trees right away ; at the snrfnoe of the ground, or just below it, you know. Wooden floors are objected to for poultry houses, for the reason that they tend to oanse the birds to become duck fooled, and what is of more conse quence, absorb and retain dampness from the droppings, and so prove a source of cramp and other ailments. Fowls need charcoal when in confine ment ; but that from wood is not palata ble to them. The best way to furnish it is by charring an ear of corn. The fowls will devour it greedily, and the improved color of their combs will soon show its wholesome effect. The farmer who wishes to avoid an excess of labor, with unprofitable result, will not spread a small quantity of manure over a large surface of poor land, but will only plow as much as he can highly manure, when his income will be as large, and his labor nearly one-half saved. "The cause of failure in the peach crop often comes, in my opinion, from too great fertility of the soil on which the trees grow. As the peach tree grows rapidly it is often hurt by the frost be cause its wood is not sufficiently hard ened. I get the best results from slow growing trees on not over-rich soil.'' Mr. Martin, Oskaloosa, la. Cabbage has a superior value for feed ing purposes. English cattle feeders assert that their beasts progress faster on cabbnge, mixed with plenty of fine cut wheat Btraw and ootton cake, than any other vegetable. Cabbage contains one part flesh-forming snbstance to three of heat producing, while in potatoes the flesh-forming is only one to twenty. Cabbage is also rich in mineral matter. " After a long experience I am safe in making the statement that the soil upon which they are raised has much to do with the character of russet apples. Those raised on a sandy soil are much more juicy and of finer flavor, while thoBe on hill lands are the best keepers. I have known a russet tree to bear the third vear. bnt this is nnnsnal. Gener ally about the fourth or fifth year they begin to bear small crops, tliough some times not until the seventh or eighth. Much depends on the size and also on the variety." O. D., Hocking, O. Recipe. Peppeb Chow-Chow. Cut in half. and remove the seeds from twenty-five peppers ; foak in salted water for three or fonr hours ; chop fine and add twice as much chopped cabbage as peppers ; one tablespooniul each of erronnd cloves, allspice, mustard seed, whole and salt ; mix thoroughly ; cover with cold vine gar ana tie down. Hash. The following is a good and economical way for preparing hash Take cold roast lamb or mutton ; throw away the fat portions : chop very fine, and add water enough to make it quite thin : boil in frying pan ; add bul salt and pepper to suit taste ; have ready hot toast which has been well buttered and dipped into cream or rich milk, and spread the hash over the toast, and serve immediately. Lemon Marmalade. To make lemon marmalade, squeeze the lemons, boil the peels in water till soft, then take out the pith, and pound the remainder in a mor tar till quite fine, mixing with it a little of the juice. Pass it all, with the rest of the juice, tb rough a sieve into a pre serving pan. To every pound of pulp add three-quarters of a pound of loaf sugar. Boil it for half an hour or more, so that it sets, when cold, into a jelly. Orange Cake." Two cups of sugar, yelks ot five eggs, whites of two eggs, hall cups of cold water, two and a half cups of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, the juice and grated rind of one orange and a pinch of salt ; bake in jelly-cake tins. Beat the whites of two ejrgs to a stiff froth, add seven large tablespoon fuls of powdered sugar aud the grated rind and juice of one orange. Spread this between the luvers. If you like the taste of orange, you will like this cake. Insects on House Plants. The principal insects troubling house plants are the green fly, the mealy bug, the scale Rnd the red spider. The most effectual remedy for green fly is fumiga tion with tobacco. Borne wooded plantp, such as heliotropes, salvias, etc., will not bear fumigation without injury to the leaves, and for these a weak solu tion of tobacco is quite as effectual, Steep some tobacco in water and sprinkle the plant with tho solution, and after wards syringe with clean water. Mealy bug is to be searched for and destroyed. Frequent spongings do much to keep down this pest. Scale is to be treated in the same way: Warm soap suds are peculiarly distasteful to this creature, A little turpentine, diluted with water (one part to sixteen), will destroy the mealy bug. Alcohol, applied with a camel's-bair brush, will kill any insect it touches. , Plants treated with these remedies must be syringed with clear water im mediately thereafter. White hellebore (to be obtained at the drug store) is in fallible. It can be put in water and ap plied through a watering-pot, or put m two or three thicknesses of gauze, and shake the hellebore under and over the plants while they are wet. Bed spider, which is seldom found on house plants, is nourished by a dry, warm atmos phere. It is a very small insect, first appearing on the under side of the leaves, and, though difficult to see, its effects are quickly noticeable by the browned appeaianoe of the leaves. It yields readily to moisture water is certain death. Keep the foliage syr inged and atmosphere moist, and you will have no red spider. To kill white worms in flower-pots take common lime, dissolve it and pour the liquid on the soil. It does not injure the plants at all. rise to me ooca- , , ., .

W nnw tataA forward in tlm ttinnnl the trafflo between two nations was borne The County Fair, To those residing in the rural districts there is, perhaps, no occasion during the year so significant as that of the oouuty fair. It gives an impetus to in dustry and agriculture which they might otherwise lack ; it inspires the people with a healthy emulation, if our neigh bor wishes it to be understood that his grapes bear off the palm, we are equally anxions about squashes and cabbages ; and how could it be fairly settled and published to the world if there were no oommittees whose verdict is as unaltera ble as the laws of the Medes and Per sians f How otherwise could the superi ority of Mrs. Jones' butter be estab lished beyond a peradventure, her to wns woman s bread rise to the occa sion and into become the toast, her rag mats become the envy of her sex, her darning a work of art T And what an encouragement it is to do whatever we undertake thor oughly well I what enoouragement to a great variety of talent I It develops re sources, it improves produoe ; if our neighbor's grapes took the premium last ?ear, we shall bestir ourselves, and cul ivate our own vines more assiduously in view of next year's possibilities. The ambition to outstrip one's follow-worker tends to the general improvement of all productions, and in the long run to the advancement of civilization, and to the welfare of the race. Perhaps the poor farmer grubbing in his field, getting sun-struck among Mb potatoes, per spiring over his onion bed, interesting himself in the development of cereals, in the enrichment of his worn-out land, studying the economy of nature. is not aware of these far-reaching effects any more than his wife, who is making it a disgrace that bad bread should be found upon any table, and so lending a hand to lift mankind out of the sloughs of indigestion and upon tho table-lands of muscular Christianity. Neither is the young woman who arranges her bouquet of autumn flowers for the ex hibition conscious that she is directing the taste of other girls, stimulating them to artistic efforts, and opening wide fields of aotion for them. The at tempt to excel is always commendable, and especially so when it is pursued not from personal vanity, but from an interest in the object attempted, and the fair offers to each one an opportuni- ty of comparing results and industries, and of benefiting by each other's suc cess. The occasion is suggestive of prosperity, and full of pioturesqueness, The crowd in its best clothes and in good humor ; the display of fruit, flowers and vegetables, with their rich effects of shape and coloring ; young Hercules at the plowing match show us, at least, that it is a promoter of muscle and of benign social influences, Harper s Bazar.

There are men living to-day in Switzer land and Italy whose life-dream has been a tunnel under the Alps. Many schemes have been investigated, and many schemes have failed. there ghonl-like figures with dim lamps hiding behind rooks or in deep niches, I involuntarily recalled what our con ductor had said of a glimpse of the bowels of hell. It was impossible to speak and be heard. I micrlit as well have addressed These migmy harriers 01 motinmino myself to the granite wans 01 tne tunnel have for ages divided people that but for them might have been of one language, one interest, alike in laws and customs. For five hundred years there was but a stone path aoross the Helvetic Alps, where the St. Gothard post-road was a'terward built; aud it is but a century since the first vehicle on wheels was as to have attempted a word to either of my companions. Suddenly our locomo tive gave one extra, unearthly yell, and stopped. We alighted, got our lamps burniug, and with a little motion on our own feet soon felt ourselves again. The engine sped back, screaming and rat tling like the voices of Milton's "Chairs to Mend." The art of doing small things well has a good illustration in the humble chair-mender of the London streets, who is also one of the most interesting of out-door tradesmen. He carries all his implements and ma terials with him. A very much worn chair is thrown over one arm as an ad vertiBement of his occupation, and it is needed, for his cry, " Cha-ir-s tomen-n, nd, is uttered in a melancholy end in distinct, though penetrating, tone. Under the other arm be usually has a bundle of cane, split into narrow ribbons, Ilis look is that of forlorn respectability; his hat is greasy, and mapped with so many veins, caused by crushings, that it might have been used as a chair, or, at least, a footstool ; around his neck he wears a heavy cloth kerchief, and bis long coat of by-gone fashion reaches nearly to the ankles, which are covered by shabby gaiters. Ha walks along at a very gentle pace, and scans the windows of the houses for some sign that his ser vices are wanted. Perhaps business is dull ; but in the neighborhoods where there are plenty of children he is pretty sure to find some vork. Cane-seated chairs are durable, but they will not stand the rough usage of those little boys and girls who treat them as step-ladders and stamp upon them. It often happens that a neat English housemaid appears at the area railings with a chair that has a big, ragged hole in the seat, through which Master Tommy has fallen, with his boots on, in an effort to reach the goose' berry lam on the pantry shelf. MaBter Tommy probably looks 'on while the repairs are being made, and is much interested by the dexterity with which the mender does his work. The old and broken canes are cut away, and the new strips are woven into a firm fabric, with little eight-sided openings left in it. The overlapping ends of the ribbons are trimmed with a sharp knife, and the chair-seat is as good as new. It seems so easy that Tommy thinks he could have done it himself ; but when he experiments with a slip of cane that the mender gives him, be rinds that chair-mending is really a trade that must be learned. borne chair-menders are blind men. and it is still more interesting to watch them at their work. The plaiting of the canes is done as unerringly by their un seeing fingers as by the men who can Bee, and with wonderful quickness. Occa sionally the business is combined with that of basket-making ; and should we follow poor old 'Chair s-to-mend" home, we might discover his family busy weav ing reeds and willowy branches with the same cleverness the father shows in handling the canes. St. Nicholas. on the backs of mules and men, who struggled, at the risk of death, along narrow stony ways, winding around glaoiers, high mountain peaks, and yawning gulfs; 16,000 persons and 9,000 horses climbed over these dizzy heights annually. Theio were scaroely fewer dangers to be encountered by the bold trader even forty or fifty years ago sudden storms, almost eternal snows, avalanches, falling rocks, dangerous and unbridged torrents, and even robbers. Nature and man conspired to make the path of -the St. Gothard one of awful risk and dangers. It winds among granite pyramids and peaks nine to ten thousand feet in height, and the road itself reaches an elevation of nearly seven thousand feet. Even now the snows on the pass are so deep and the dangers are so - great that com merce and travel over the St. Gothard cease for half the year entirely, the mails being carried over by messengers, oucn are a part only of the disadvantages aria- - - ..... m ing to some sixty or seventy millions or. people from this mighty mountain wall between Switzerland and Italy. The building of the Mont Cams tun nel through the Savoy Alps to France, and the Brenner road to Austria, have mode it absolutely necessary for Ger many and Switzerland to choose between losing the commerce and travel of the south, and building a mountain railroad, and a series of tunnels that shall eclipse anything of the kind in the world. The world knows how they have chosen. The enterprise was too enormous for private undertaking or for private capi tal, in 1871. Italy, uermany and Switzerland voted large subventions for the building of a road, to be commenced at once, running from the Liake of J-iu cerne, in Switzerland, to Lake Maggiore, in Italy, a distance of 108 miles. Twenty-one per cent., or nearly 120,000 feet, of all this distance was to be tun neled through mountains of granite. The total length of the maintnnnel; which enters the Alps at Goeschonen, in Switzerland, and emerges at Airolo, in Italy, is 48,936 feet. A number of the smaller tunnels, bringing the road np to the proper level in the AlpB, exceed 7.000 feet. On the lake of Lucerne, too, there will be important tunnels and galleries cut alongside of or under the celebrated Axecstrasse, high above the waters of the lake, At the time the international treaty for this great undertaking was signed it was believed that the work could be done for the sum of 187,000,000 francs, A company was organized, with 84,000. 000 francs of stock, in 20 shares, and 68.000,000 francs of mortgaged bonds. Itoly presented the undertaking with 45.000.000 francs. Germany and Switz erland each gave 20,000,000 francs, The work, however, was not more than fairly under way when it was discovered, to the astonishment of everybody, that an i i i -l- i - awiui misiaKO uaa iieen maue in eBiima ting the costs, and that, instead of 187, 000,000 francs, 289.000,000 would be re quired to complete the work as at first proposed a blunder in estimates of 102 000.000 francs. This blundering calculation threatened nil sorts of bad results. The stock of the company ran down to a minimum, and hundreds of families were neariy mined by the collapse. The bonds shared in the crash, and even the most ardent friends of the enterprise feared that the money which had been so lavishly given was buried under the mountains forever. It became a serious question whether the works would not have to be completely abandoned. There certainly wns no choice, except to lose all that had been done, or to add many millions moro to the subventions, The times were hard, financial crises were imminent everywhere, and war was raging on the continent. Everybody was discouraged. Some of the little cantons of Switzerland, which would re ceive the most benefit from the comple tion of the tunnel, refused to lift a hand or to spend another dollar. In the face of all opposition, now- ever, the money nas, at tuis writing, been almost raised, xue tnree countries, on foot, and, as we reooverod onr breath, had abundant time to look about, though there seemed something fatally wrong with the perspective of the pic ture of which we formed a part. The air was so thick lights could not be seen twenty yards ahead of us, and we all walked close together for fear of being lost or tumbling into some sub terranean hole. Jb ar ahead of ns we heard the dynamite explosions, sounding like heavy mortars in the midst of battle. In some places where we were walking the water - was nearly a foot deep, and again it came tnrongn crevasses above our neaas use April showers. Onr conductor tells ns that on the Airolo side of the tunnel the waters have sometimes come in at the rate of 4,000 gallons per minute, and in such torrents as. to even upset the work men and carry away the tools. Again, an occasional spring wonld burst out in a stream as thick as a man's arm, while the track for the drills was frequently laid in rushing water two feet deep. This water comes from springs in the mountains about us. and from eternal An Extraordinary Fish. A most interesting discovery has been made in the sea of Tiberias of a fish which inenbates its voung in the cavi ties of the month ; and, what is the more remarkable, it is the male which performs this part of the family func tion. As soon as the female has deposited its eggs in the hollow of the sand, the male approaches ana avows mem uu the cavities of the mouth by the pro cess of inspiration. Here they are dis tributed between the leaves of the gills ; and in the midst of the respiratory organs the eggs rapidly develop, dis tending the mouth of the male fish in the most extraordinary manner. Finally the young fish make their appearance, packed in the gills like so many her rinira. and with their heads directed to- ' ward the opening. From this place of retreat and safety they run in and out until they are large enough to take care Of themselves. It is saia mat aa mauj aa two hundred individuals are some times crowded into the month and gilla ithe male ash. snow-fields lyiug in the sunshine thou sands of feet above onr heads. It is very imprest-ive to reflect that, as we stand here in the dim light of the tunnel, far above us are lofty mountains and fields of snow, tumbling avalanche and roaring torrents. Almost above us are the peaks of St. Gothard, reaching above the clouds; and there, too, is the rapid, roaring river Reuss, with its leaping water-falls, and the Devil's Bridge, where French nnd Austrian soldiers met in deadly conflict. Up there, too, are the bright sunshine and the cold snow of winter, and the dili gences and slolges filled with freezing passengers, while we are melting under eighty degrees Fahrenheit of heat, and the Italian workmen are almost naked. There, too, above our heads, in the glistening glaciers, are the first rip plings of the baby Rhine. Behind ns are the cold Lills of Switzerland. In front of us, and just outside those gran ite rocks, is sunny Italy, now strangely we feel 1 Our conductor stops us to name tho strata of rock through which we are walking. The first 7.000 feet at the GoeBchenen end had been through dark gray granite or granitic gneiss; then fol lowed 1,000 feet of schistous gneiss, lying in vertical ledges; then 500 feet of crystalline limestone, with here and there a streak of black serpentine, fol lowed by 3,000 feet of micaceous schists, and some 20.0W feet of gneiss ricn in mica. This is joiiowea again Dy o.uuu feet of schistous gneiss with threads and lumps of quartz, and nearly 10,000 feet of mica schist, ending on the Italian side with some 2,000 feet more of mica schist mixed with gneiss and rich veins ot quartz. Such were the calculations made by the geologists from the moun tains above the tunnel, and the boring so far has proved these observations to be pretty nearly correct. But little gold, silver, or other precious ore has been met with, and even stone-ooai has failed to put in an appearance, much as it wonld be welcomed by the Swiss, who have scarcely a ponnd of coal in their whole Alpine country. The tunnel has about the same dimen sions. except in length, as the Mount Cenis tunnel: that is, it is, in round numbers, twenty-four feet in width at sleepers, twenty-six feet wiue at epnng ing of arch, and nineteen feet high be tween sleepers and center of a rob. It starts into the mountain at a point 3,639 feet above the sea, and comes out at Airolo. on the Italian side, 3.757 feet above the sea-level. On the north axis the tnnnel ascends one foot in every 172 feet, or about 142 feet in travering the distance oi a, 40'z feet. It then follows a summit or level line for the next 591 feet, when it de scends to Airolo, 2t,279 feet farther, at a gradient of one in 1,000. The highest point in the tunnel, hence, is 142 feet above the entrance at the north end, and twenty-four feet only above the outlet at the south. These graaients are ior tne purpose of permitting the water to pass off through a channel of masonry out parties to the treaty, have added largely between the two traoks of rails toward A Fnmloe in India, la the Madras famine, ohildren of seven to ten years nsed to bring poor little naked living skeletons of two and three and fonr years to the government relief centers, feeding the babies day after day, for weeks, with the daily dole, asking nothing for themselves, till the little foster-mothers would themselves sink fainting at the gates. These were often of no kin ; sometimes even of a different caste or religion. A little ' kindness " makes the whole world kin." Hundreds of fathers and mothers, going to other parts of the country to get work aud food, loft ohildren to die in their villages. Little ones who had no foster mothers wandered about to get a dole of food from any one who would give, then lie down and die with pass me the word the heroio agony of childish patience. For example, one missionary from Cuddapah met in one day's journey over 100 who had no one in this world to care for them. He stopped and helped the oldest, telling them to look after the little ones : but he believed that all. or nearly all. died. This led to himself and his wife opening a " Tem porary Home, one only out oi many such instances, of course, for ohildren nnder twelve years. No temptation to idleness was held out, and in five weeks many were restored so as to be sent out to work. One orphan boy, nine years old, told as soon as he could speak that he knew of other famine orphans might he bring them ? And he instantly sallied out and brought in first two little Mo hammedan boys under six, then carried in from a great distance, in his skeleton arms, a little girl too far gone to stand or sit up, and who, apparently, could not live through the night. But with good nursing she was brought round to look like a moving skeleton and eat rice. A tiny Mohammedan of three would call another but a little older who tried to take care of her, her sister. The two could not be narted.and both were token. Both had lost their fathers and mothers of cholera in the relief camps. Mothers often brought in children, breathing their last, to the Temporary Homes. The famine fund gave to the Temporary Homes, and the missionaries begged " famine orphans " from government, and took them into their " boarding schools, The other children uniformly showed kindness to these orphans. The famine fund gave bullocks and seed-grain to many survivors returning home. Florence ssigntingaie. Uses of the Horse In South America. The following is an extract from the letter of a lady residing at Buenos Ayres: Xou see that we are now at Mercedes, On our way out, we noticed, from the railway station, a great number of horses: not grazing, as they may be seen anywhere, nor trying to run raoes with the train, as they may be seen any day, but with an important business-like look about them. There were a few Guachos standing with them, who also appeared to have something to do, which is an un usual thing with the natives, who seem always as if they had never done any thing, and never intended to cio any thing. In reply to our inquiry, we were told that the horses had UBt been threshing, that the sheaves of grain are put into an inolosed plaoe like a pen, and the wildest come-at-able horses are driven in and lashed to make them kick and jump and so the wheat is threshed. The horse, says Mayor s speiiing-DooK, is a very useful animal;' but surely none bnt the Guachos know its value, When the milkman comes in the morn ing, and is asked for the butter ordered, he will perhaps say that he has not made it yet. liut he clambers on his horse, where he sits surrounded by milk-cans, an-1 on he trots. Presently he dismounts. opens Mb cans, skims the butter off the top of erch, puts it into a cloth, mounts again, and trots about selling his milk as he goes along. After a few hours he returns and hands in the butter, and not bad butter either when it is salted and settled up. This primitive mode of churning may remind some old Indiana of that practiced by the ' bearers ' in the now almost forgotten days of palanquin traveling. They would before starting fasten a large-mouthed bottle, three parts full of cream, to the pole of the palan quin, the perpetual jolting of which through the night's journey, suffice to convert it into butter for the sahib's breakfast."

Pork i Lard 1 Pish I Identity of Black and Green Tea Oreen and black tea are produced from the same plant, although the colonists were long at issue aooui tne matter. The idea of green tea being dried upon copper is proved to be a popular fallacy, lor tbe tea would dc navoreu ana spoil ed in the process ; beside, the bloom can be given by a Harmless means, jur, Ball, an Englishman, who has written a practical volume on the cultivation and manufacture oi tea, describes an experi ment made by him, proving that tea may be dried black and green in the same vessel and over the same fire. He divided the pan, and the leaves on one side he kept in motion and the other quiet, when the latter became black and the former ereen. thus proving the dif ference of color to be derived not from any management of heat, but from manipulation, the heat being the same in both cases. At the same time, cer tain Chinese rogues glaze our hyson most unscrupulously, and it has been proved by chemical analysis that the Chinese green teas are artificially color ed, though not with indigo. Gunpowder tea is dried at the highest temperature and Pekoe at the lowest, and tne ciiemi cal cause of black tea is its loss of tan nin in drying previous to roasting, an opinion that is supported by the testi mony of Liebig. Again, Mr. Ball thinks there may be one species, of tea plant, but several varieties, and that all botanical difference is destroyed in tne course oi packing. , to their subsidies, and leading bwiss railways and cities have each voted sums Eroportioned to tue advantages tuey ope to reap.

It was granted to Mr. Louis lavre, of Ueneva. 15 y its terms Mr. Favre promises to deliver the works of tne tunnel, completed, by tne 1st of.OctoV?T, 1880. For each day the work may be done before tuat time tbe company agrees to pay him SI. 000. On the other hand, however, the contractor is bound to pay handsomely for all de lays. For every single day in arrear of contract lie lorieits xi.uuu. li aeiay continue six months, the forfeit is $2,000 per day ; and should he be one year in arrear with his work, he surrenders the contract, and forfeits $1,600,000, which be and his mends for turn, nave deposit ed with the company as security, On January 1, 1877, tne Headings, or a either end. Almost the entire tunnel is being arched and lined with solid masonry, eighteen to thirty inches in thickness, and that, too, in places where the gran ite and serpentine blocks seem to the ordinary observer the perfection of solidity. Tbe Glass Eye Manufacture. If Americans exoel in the manufacture of false teeth, the French exoel them in false eyes, writes a Paris correspondent. The average sale of manuiactured eyes, in Paris alone, intended for the human head, amounts to four hundred per week. The French capital appears to have the monopoly of this strange trade. Twelve eve manufacturers flourish within the barriers, eacn of wnom iurnisn empioy ment to about twenty workmen.

Somebody who has been studying the habits of the albatross, largest of the sea-birds, in the South Atlantic, has come to the conclusion tnat it feeds al most entirely on dead fish, and is a sort of marine vulture. When it is feeding on dead fish, it is so greedy that a gnu discharged cannot make it fly. Jjike a vulture or raven, it seems to know when any creature is dying or dead, and im mense flocks of the birds will gather when the carcass of a sheep or beef or horse is thrown overboard. They ap pear to be able to see and to scent car rion for miles, and when it is floating on the ocean, they will come in clouds from every point of the compass. They spend the greater part oi tne year iar uwuy from land ; but they go to barren and well-nigh inaccessible rocks to breed. The female lays her soiled white egg on the bare earth, tne temaies oiten ua tun ing so close together that they seem to have one nest in common. Then they are perfeotly indifferent to the presence of man, at whom they merely snap when lie liivuuen mtux sauuiunij. , Bheep. ....

Opinions au- fer, and even engineers can do little more tnan guess. Mr. a. M. c.yers, irom wnose article in Homer's Maaazine the foregoing in formation was obtained, gives the result of a recent visit to the unnmsbed tun nel, as follows : Four of us with the engineer stood on the little cow-catcher platform at the front end of the engine, and were soon hurled oft into the darkness. The screaming of the engine whistle right at our ears was frightful, and tne dark ness was so utter and the smoke so thick we f anoied we oould feel them with our hands. The eases began to be almost unbearable, and the miscellaneous noises throughout the tunnel something tsmflo. I presume our tram was not running fast, and vet it made so much noise, and the surroundings were bo unusual, it seemed aa if I had never in my life bounded along at such a rate. I had had many a strange ride, too, before, bnt never bad I felt so completely belp less, or more likely to be snuffed out by the unseen should anything happen to sufficient taste for this trade ; their eyes are only good enough for stuffed ani mals."
