intelligence, prudence, energy, and a train
of auspicious circumstances. The avenues
to wealth are so free and numerous that
many determined money-seekers achieve
success. But if it is easier to acquire
a fortune in America than elsewhere,
it is also easier to lose one. The pit
falls are more numerous, the chances
of ruinous losses through insolvent debtors,
and through attractive but dangerous spe
culations, are more common here than else
where. What are termed "changes in
life," as well those which lead from afflu
ence to poverty as those that raise from
poverty to wealth, occur in America with
much more frequency than in Europe. We
trust no reader will be so dazzled by large
incomes as to hazard a medetate, but sure
competency, health, or character, in a des
perate, but probably vain effort to acquire
them. Economy, industry, intelligence,
perseverance, integrity, and close attention
to legitimate business, rarely fail to secure,
at alt events, an honest livelihood; and they
are the real foundation, in most cases, of the
substantial and enduring fortunes of the
country.
CONSTITUTION/VI. AMENDMENTS.
The poet sings that, "Error, wounded,
writhes in pain, and dies amid her worship
pers." This is precisely the process which
slavery is being subjected to iu the South
ern States at this moment. Practically - , it
is destroyed by the operations of the war;
and, legally; by the emancipation proclama
tion. But before it is buried "deeper than
pluminet ever sounded" it is conceded that
the amendment to the Federal Constitution,
forbidding it now and forever in all parts
of the Republic, should be adopted by the
requisite number of States; and it is con
sidered desirable, though not absolutely
essential, that each slaveholding State
should amend: its State Constitution by
the incorporation of an anti-slavery
clause. The old pro-slavery politicians,
North and South, however, seem deter
mined to present every possible obstacle to
the completion of these constitutional re
forms. In New Jersey slavery still finds
energetic supporters among her Democracy,
and in Kentucky the exciting qUeStion upon
which the approaching election of State
Legislators and nine members of Congress
turns is whether she shall Or shall not pro
hibit slavery within her borders. In all the
rebellious States a disposition to revive this
issue also exists, and upon it their citizens
appear most likely to array themselves in
antagonistic parties. We have no doubt of
the result, but it is to be regretted that the
toregime conclusion, which every sagacious
man ibresees, is not more gracefully and
unanimously accepted by the abettors of the
rebellion, and that reckless politielans
should be foolish and wicked enough to
perpetuate such an agitation as is described
'in the following extract from the Raleigh
(N. C.) Daily Progress:
N6twithstancling the conceded fact that
North Carolina can only return to the Union_
and share equality with and receive the pro
tection of the General Government by sub
mission to the laws of Congress and the pro
clamations of the President. on the slavery
flues:lion, there are yet those in North Caro
lina who hurl defiance at those in authority,
And instil that slavery , con may be aboiahrit in the
Mote by the acti,,n. of our own people hereafter.
Now, the loyal men of the State assume that
slavery is already abolished, and that it wilt
be the duty of the Convention to declare that
it shall never again exist in this Common
wealth. Such are the sentiments of our peo
ple ; and if all troops were withdrawn, and a
free and full vote should be lout on the sub
ject, they would so decide by a large majority.
From linty to sixty thousand of our best mea
have been killed and maimed in a war which
was started to perpetuate the slavery of the
negro stud constitute the chivalry of the cot
tim States a privileged class; and the people
of North Carolina will not submit to further
sacrifices on their account, or again go to war
for au institution that has ever been a curse to
three-fourths of our people.
It is well understood that in taking' the am-
nesty oath, which every man must do before
he can vote or hold office, the citizen re
nounces slavery and. pledges himself to sub
mit to and stand by all proelamations and laws
relative to slavery; and he who agitates this
question after taking the said oath, or insists
upon the right to hold those who have been de
clared free by the Government, as slaves, trill
no doubt be considered an open enemy to the
Government and arrested and treated as such.
We know that many of the Secession leaders
will not regard this oathas binding—men who
will takn it and then disregard it—and it is
such that We. would have refused the privilege'
of the amnesty until their reason shall return.
An. attempt mitt be made to get op a panty here
and in the other States looking to the 'ultimate re
emiqaem, nt of . the blacks ,* and if theybe 11
Yl-0 wed
to go on they will semi their Men to the State .
Conventions and Legislatures, and to the na
tional Congress, and all old issues will come
np again ; the discussion of shivery will be re-
Belted everywhere, and that peace for which
the loyal heart of the nation yearns will not
come to "his generation. Are the people
ready for thisl the loyal masses of North
CarOlina longer consent to be pulled by the
nose by demagogues who think of self alt the`-
time and the welfare of the country never'?
We hope not.
Put while these agitators may stave off the
return of 'peace and prosperity by their oppo
sition to the policy of the Government, we can
assure them that all their plans for the control
of tho Government and a further lease on
slavery will fail; the policy of the Government
has been adopted upon mature reflection, and
it is the Settled determination that no Stale,
(lint has been d i ebetllo,a,shalt retitni , to the Union,
242/n by action of its own
_people slavery dcatt be
(inland forever ebolfehed. Let it be understood,
then. that those who agitate this subject and
plan for the re-enslavement of the meg - ro, are
not only the open and acknowledged enemies
of the ( overnment, but that they are pursuing
a course that, if successful, will keep us in a
territorial condition and under perpetual mili
tary rule. Instead of ignoring the question in
the canvaSS for the State conventioe, as ad
vised by some of the subsidized secession or
gans of the State, let the people demand that
it be billy and freely discussed; and we eau-.
lion our loyal fellow-citizens who desire civil
law, social order, and national prosperity, not
to vote for any man for a seat in that body,
who is not willing to take prompt and final ae-
Gem dais forever disposing of slavery as far
ns North Carolina is Concerned. We unhesi
tatinal declare ourself in favor of the Mop
-
- non of the , 42.oestitntional Amendment,iithus

State is Concerned, for all time and showing
to the people of the North, and those who ad
minister 1 he, Government, that ire are in inca
pable of throwing any obstacle in the way of a
speedy anti cordial restoration of the Union.
TIRE PIRATE SHENANDOAH
It will be seen, by a teletgraphie despatch
from San Francisco, that the Confederate
pirate Shenandoah is still afloat ; that she
has recently destroyed several American
whale ; that her commander con
tinued his depredations after he had been
informed of the collapse of the rebellion, on
tie pretence that lie disbelieved this intelli
gence, but that, on the other hand, he
readily credited the report of the assassina
tion of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, because, as he
stated, lie e xpected it. :This intelligence
Ibrnishes a striking proof of the Complicity
of the rebel leaders with the conspiracy,
and shows how " the evil that men do lives
after theM." The statement that the pirate
is manned - with a crew of English and Irish
sailors, coupled with the fact that it still
continues its devastations, illustrates the
wisdom of the remonstrance which Seem_
nry SEWARD recently addressed to Earl
RUSSELL. England will long regret that
her statesmen ever threw a protecting
shield over the Confederate cruisers, par
' tictitarly after the elope of the war. • •

The Freedmen in Washington.
During the past few weeks the colored popu
lation of Washington and Georgetown have
been earnestly discussing the question of ob
taining the right of suffrage. This evening a
meeting of the ward delegates was held, and
a memorial for presentation to Congress sub-
Mated for approval. In this they say : "Our
patriotism is unbounded ; our loyalty has
net er been questioned, for in all our coun
try's trials we have responded vol untarily and
with alacrity, and without the incentive
of high pay, bounty, and promotion. We have
honorable aspirations, and cherish hopes, and
hrmiatile desires, in connection with our coun
try. WO ask you respectfully to regard them
—to give encouragement to our patklotigm_
Enjoying what liberty we do, makes us the
more miserable in contemplating the denial
of other just rights. Without the right of suf
frage, we are without protection, and liable to
combinations of outrage forever. The petty
°liken Of the law, feeting, mut respecting the
source of power, will naturally defer to the one
having the vote. 7, So partiality in this respect
works to the disadvantage of the colored
citizens?'
The memorialists state other principles and
considerations as the basis on which they pre
dicate their claims and civil equality before
the law. .
Appointiiients.
The President to-day made the following ap
pointments of Assistant Assessors: Dewitt C.

The thousands of others still absent are liable
to arrest wherever found in, is country ; and
subject to punishment for the offence.
The Nittioma Resources.
The power to effect further loans is now ex
hausted, but the Secretary of the Treasury is
of the opinion that, owing to the continued
reduction of the expenditures of the Govern
ment, the treasury can be kept in an easy con
dition by the receipts from the usual sources
of revenue, and meet all the requisitions
which can be properly made upon it until the
meeting of Congress. It is estimated at the
Internal Revenue Bureau that the receipts
from incomes, taxes, etc., for the next seventy
live days will be at the rate of one million
dollars per day. The next statement of the
public debt will be made early in August. It
is published every two months.

.. sTADS anfrintiA NINE
Yesterday's New York Evening Post has the
annexed:
;At an early hour this morning a man was
found in Washington Park, Brooklyn, in an in-
sensible condition, and he was lying in a pool
of blood. lie was conveyed to the Forty-fourth
precinct Station-house, where, on examination,
it was found that he had been stabbed nine
times, all of the wounds being in the region of
the heart, and one or two, if not more, of them.
were of a fatal character. Restoratives were
applied, and the man became sufficiently re
covered to make a statement of the manner in
which he came by his injuries. He gave his
name as E. Dedan ; said he was a native of Bal
timore, and stated that about three o'clock
this morning, as he was passing through the
park, he was attacked by two men who
knocked him down and robbed him of all the
money he possessed. and then inflicted - the
wounds on him. He described the appearance
of the men minutely, and officers were de
g-patched in all directions to secure them. The
dying man persisted in this statement until
about noon to-flay, when the physician in. at
tendance informer him of the fatal character
of his injuries.
AC then confeSsed that the wounds had bee n
- inflicted by himself. He further Stated that
he was en exchanged rebel prisoner, and had
been impelled to the act by destitution,
having no money, and being compelled for the
past two weeks to sleep in the open air in the
park.: The knife with which the wounds Were
inflicted was subscommtly found in his panta
loons pocket. Dedan, as he earls himself, is
evidently a man of good education, and it is
believed that the name he has given is as
sumed.

may arise that may lead to difficulty between
the Imperial Government and the forces of

that Orders have been issued to the officials at

reason why the United States should send an

STREETS—LICENSES—THE STEAMER FOR DUBLIN-.
A correspondent of the Roston Herald, writ
ing from Londonderry, Ireland, June 3a, says:
Upon landing at Liven - Mot I was takenabaek
at the following adventure, which I have since
seen is thoroughly English. The smaller arti
cles of the party which I joined having been
examined, we took them in our hands and pre
pared to walk to the hotel, leaving the trunks
to follow, but at the door were stopped with—
" sixpence apiece, if you please, gentlemenu---
thinking it was mere pleasantry we all smiled
as gentlemen do when foolishly astonished,
and saying a-ha! a-ha t 4, pleasant joke," pre
pared to pass on ; but no! it was a fact and no
Joke at all. After keeping . eighty people
herded like so many cattle in a wharf-shed
while their luggage was being examined, they
had the impudence to charge them sixpence
apiece for the pvivilege Of being so occupied.
I. h
ad noticed in coming up the river that the
ships all appeared to be walking up town, and
were on a.level with many of the houses, and
on landing this was accounted for by the fact
that they are floated into the docks at high
water and locked up, so that the receding
river leaves them above its level.
Arrti.tUANCE OF tivEnpooL
Who docks theinaelves have been SO often
scribed that I will merely mention them as
Ave and a half miles in length,bullt of solid
masonry, with continued locks and gateways
for the passage of vessels. In the evening they
give the latter the appearance of being put to
bed. It was about mac o'clock in the evening
as we walked to the hotel—the time at which
these old blackened English towns are best
seen. The tall churches, grim with smoke and
age, the overgrown monsters Of architecture,
huge and awful, looking, as if they might
crush the earth itself with vastness, the vistas
of stone arches through which looked more
grim-faced buildings, the little lanes where
the houses have tumbled together as if drowsy
over a sermon, all these, and at such time,
were so new, so strange, and so faseinatio,,, ,,
that even the sedate portion of our company
Went into small raptures, while the younger
portion arrived at the hotel with - mouths wide
open, and eyes almost out of their beads.
I went to a second-class one, and knew no
thing of the Adelphi or Washington houses,
but mine always impressed me with awe, and
I never entered it without feeling as if I was
going to church. Everything is in perfect
order and quietness. The lowest tones of
voice we always used, and ladies attend at the
oftlee. The eoffee-room is Still a wend ertome,
for wherever I go it is the same. ThiS one
was finely carpeted, ham,c , with pictures, and
drapery curtains, furnished with armchairs;
sofas, and three tables. In one corner stood
two devout individuals, with white neck-ties
and broadcloth suits, looking like penitent
sinners. One of them immediately began to
hop towards me on tip-toe with his hands un
der his coat tails, giving him the appearance
of very solemn b ird, lie received my order,
motioned MC to a table and very quietly pro•
ceeded to fulfil it. Let us suppose it is a lamb
chop. I sit at one of the tables, and presently
it. appears in a covered dish. One by one the
side dishes arc brought in, and one by one the
covers are removed without so much as a
tinkle. in the centre of a white napkin, gar
pined with mint. lies the little crisped chop ;
three potatoes are arranged like a pyramid on
one side, and there is a mould of squash on the
other. The butter is garnished with mint and
brought on the table in moulds, while the wa
ter is in bottles, the lower part of which are
frozen, and which are used instead of ice
pitchers.
THE WAITV.IIS
Pastry is rarely used, the English taking
cheese and porter instead, - which suppose
to aid digestion. Every waiter wears a broad
cloth suit with white necktie, and always ap
proaches you as if he were :about to whisper
some fearful secret. It is the same in Ireland,
and is positively distressing. You feel awed
in the presence of so magnificent an indi
vidual. You invest him with all manner of
secret mystery, and half suspect that he has
heard some report about you which he will
spread and ruinyour reputation. If he would
only make a noise, or break something, or fall
down stairs ; but no, he is always impassive,
except when yon give him a penny and he

The English stores (which they always call
shops) seemed to be entirely composed of win
dows. With a few exceptions, hey are not
larger than a good-sized drawing-room, and
the whole assortment of goods scorns to be
stored in their large window casements.
These often make Its fine a display as those
of the largest houses in Poston, when the
space behind them is not twenty feet square.
N ine out of ten have the prices attached to
the goods, to save, as a shopkeeper told me,
the trouble of continually answering ques
tions, and as the English shopkeeper is often
surly, ruin seems not to care a fig whether be
sells or pot, the plan is equally agreeable to
the buyer.
- The ladies of Liverpool all - wear enormous
crinoline, so very large that it gives them an
unwieldy, swollen appearance; this increases
as the scale descends '
and as the lower class
wear the dress looped' up, it amounts, in many
cases, to gross indeaanay. For the benefit of
American ladiesi . l will state that during my
four days , stay in and about Liverpool, in
which time I met all classes of people, I did
not see one beautiful face. The complexion,
even among ladies of the higher class, is nearly
always red and coarse, while the • feet are
universally large and very broad. The ladies
of our party grew pale and fragile in their
presence, too much so, no aord, for the
English girl is the picture of health.

Everybody seems licensed. The hackmen
wear huge brass badges on their arms contain
ing their name and number, while even tee
bootblacks have a uniform, and run about like
so many organ monkeys, with red shirts, black
pants, and soiled faces. Though the license of
the different classes makes them - liable to a
fine if they charge more than the lawful price,
they invariably ask a bonus, and appeal to you
in such a confident way, as if the favor was all
on their side, that it often makes one appear
ridiculous to refuse. For instance, four of us
engaged a cabman to drive us eight miles for
as many shillings (two dollars.) On paying
him after the return, he asked the usual fee
for himself, and, upon remonstrating, com
pletely deMollalled Our argument:: about the
bargain, by saying, "Why, gentlemen, the
eight shillings was for the horse; I (Minn
suppose you would be willing to receive my
services the whole afternoon as a furor." We
were so stupefied by such an astounding re
mark that I think we should have paid him
had lie asked a pound.
The steamer for Dublin leaves Liverpool at
seven and a half P. M., arriving at Dublin the
next morning, and true to my resolve of going,
with - the least possible expenditure I bought
a ticket for four shillings, with the privilege
of sleeping on deck. As some twenty cows, a
great many sheep, and a wbole cargo of hens,
had obtained the same privilege. I was in
great rwrplexity as to where I should bestow
myself; selecting a little warm. nook by the
stovepipe, however, I paid a penny for a piece
of sail cloth, and making a seat went back to
the hotel for my baggage, Chuckling to myself
how nicely I had outwitted the rest of the
strangers. Alas! for human selfishness! I
thought I had detected a smile on the counte
nance of the engineer, to whom I gave the
penny, and secretly blessed him, for I ima-•
pined it sympathy. And so, perhaps, it
was, for we had not left the wharf tea
minutes when the leather of my valise
was in very nearly an eatable condi
tion from the heat, and my perch as uninhabi
table as "that other place." But despair gives
courage, and, screwing up what had riot eva
porated, I marched - boldly into the cabin,
and, thanks to my dress, therg remained, as I
advise every person in my situation to do,
until eleven o'clock, when the collector came
around and ordered me on deek. Ilad I kept
my ticket, as I might have done, a sofa, at
least, in the cabin, would have been my inhe
ritance till morning; and for any one who
beers a respectable appearance there will be
no difficulty in so doulg. The dlstinoticsi,
find, is not so much in the ticket as in the and
ensemble of the person who holds it, and a six
pence to the collector will do wonders. You
have soy experience free, which I earned, and
dearly, too, by rheumatism, ear-ache, and
want of all musical perception the next morn
big, which latter effect was produced by the
amount of talent displayed by the different
orders of cattle.
Dreadful Scene in .an Insane Asylum.
ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF A MANIAC
A fearful tragedy occurred at the hospital
last Friday. At about ten o'clock the night
Previous, an Irihman, large, stout, and despe
rately crazy, crawled through the ventilator
in his room in one of the rear two-story build
ings, - and reached the roof, whore he este
bbshed hirusey, and bade defiance to all
the world. II O was soon discovered, and
every elfort that the ingenuity of the an
perintendent and his associates could in
vent, was made to induce him to come
down, but without avail. A hole was cut in
the roof, but with pieces of slate which he tore
front the roof, the madman beat hack all who
attempted to approach him. The roof is quite
steep, but the crazy man would run all over it,
even along the eaves, without fear and with
perfect impunity. No sane person could pos
sibly accomplish what lie did. He declared he
would never come down alive, and would kill
any one who should come upon the roof. It
was therefore an impossibility to get him
safely, and it would be certain death for any
one to go upon the roof and grapple with him.
He was perfect "master of the situation." A
watch was kept upon him during the night
and the next forenoon,
It was thought that Father Sullivan, the
Catholic priest who bad previously visited
him and seemed to have considerable intiu
ence over him, might induce him to come
down, and be was sent for at Holyoke, but
being sick he could not attend, and sent one
of ins assistants, but before ho arrived the
madman, at about eleven o'clock was seized
with ii tit, to whichhe was subject, while sitting
beside a chimney, mid curling up, rolled otr,
striking on the solid hard-pan below, break
ing one arm and injuring himself internally,
so that he lived only about an hour. In his dis
abled condition, even, lie fought desperately,
and it was with difficulty lie was secured. - The
ventilator through which he escaped Is oval
shaped, about eight by twelve inches, and ex
tended from near the top of the wall horizon
tally about ten inches, and thou up to the roof.
This hole he enlarged by knocking out the
Drick. lie entered the ventilator by turning
his bed up against the . wall.—Norilsumpion

THREE CENTS.
GREAT MAO LAKE TUNNEL
THE MAMMOTH CRIB SUCCESSFULLY
LAUNCIWD.
The Most Difficult Part of the Under-
taking Accomplished.
The great crib of the cast end of the tunnel
now 'building under Lake Michigan, for the
purpose of supply ing*Chicago with pure water s
was successfully launched. The following in
teresting facts about, this undertaking, pro
bably the most stupendous now in this coun
try, are extracted from the Chicago journals
DESCRIPTION. OF THE OMB
The monster crib so successfully put in
place is forty feet high. It has five sides, each
of which fifty-eight feet long; Piarin.g
about lithely feet in any direction across the
top. It has three walls, the outer, the centre,
and the inner, making: it almost like three dis
tinct structures ; one inside the other, and all
firmly braced and bolted together, so as to
constitute one great crib. Hach of these walls
is caulked and tarred, like the hulk of a, yes
eel, They are Constructed of twelve-ineh
square timber, the lir% twelve feet from the
top of white oak, and the remaining twenty.
eight feet of white pine. Each piece of timber
comprising either wall, is firmly fastened to
its place with stjuare bolts, one and five-six
teenths of an inch In diameter, and thirty
inches long. The bottom is composed of
twelve-inch timbers, held in place by bolts
thirty-six inbhcs in length, passing through
three distinct layers of timber. This whole
framework is a combination of massive tim
bers andirons, firmly held together by bars
and boils, and braced in ()Very direction. The
crib contains fifteen separate watur-tighteem
partments. In the centre IS a " Wen," open at
the bottom, and twenty-live feet in diameter.
Each angle of the crib is provided with
armor, to protect it from ice or any other body
borne upon the waves. This covering is of
iron, two and a half inches thick, and covers
VIA - 0 feet etidi way from the angleS,Ond reaches
downwards from the top twelve feet. This
armor is fastened to the outer wall of the crib
fund the adjacent timbers by iron bolts thirty
inches long, and to the inner wall and its tim
bers by round iron bolts an inch and a half in
diameter, and thirteen and a half feet in
length.
COST OP
That people may forma correct idea of tile
magnitude and importance of this Crib, a few
items of the timber used in its construction
are given below. The whole structure Cost
not far from one hundred thousand dollars.
Reduced to board measure, there were used in
building it 018,125 feet of lumber, as follows :
538,308 feet white-pine timber.
42,000 feet white-oak timber.
20,000 two-inch white-pine plank.
18,000 two-inch white-oak plank.
Resides this, there will be used live hundred
bales of oakum, and in The neighborhood of
sixty-five tons of lien bolts. included in the
last item are the following:
1,700 wrought 13-16-inch square bolts, 30 Inches
long.
120 wrought iron 1-inch square bolts, 30
inches long.
200 wrought ironl l ,4-inchroundbolts,lB feet
long.
50 wrought iron 1 1 /c-inch round bolts, is
inches long.
200 square feet 2;i4ineh iron armor for
angles.
PLACING THE STONE IN . THE CRIB.
An important feature of the launch yester
day was placing the stone.in the crib, to hold
it in its place. Previous to the launch several
old schooners had been loaded with stone,
Which followed the crib into the lake. It was
ii et sunk into position by letting in the water
by means of valves. Some of the cliarnbera
were tilled, while others were not. When at
the bottom of the lake, about six feet of the
crib remained out of the water. The stone
was tumbled into the vacant chambers promis
cuously ; several vessel loads being thus dis
posed of. This work occupied the men far
into the night.
THN I A JNCII OF Tll/2 C.Tun
The crib was placed on seven Ways,eaeh one
hundred and forty feet long, dipping down.
into the water on an incline a one inch to the
foot. It was let down on these by two bun
tired and fifty screws, similar to those used in
house moving and raising. At an early hour-:
all the screws were got into position, and the
ways greased. Nothing remained but the pre
some -of the invited MKS, to allow of the
great slide being taken.
Well, the time came at last. The axe Wa ,
wielded which severed the rope, and the levia
than glided clown the }rays,so beautifully, so
gracel ully, so majestically, that words fail to
describe it. The one hundred and forty feet
were traversed in about one minute, without
jerk or break,needing neither push nor retard,
and Went Into the water so quietly that a beat
containing two boys, who got in the way, as
boys always will, and were within a couple of
yards of the monster's front, was not even
shaken, much less upset. The wave produced
was like the ocean's gentlest swell—such a
wave as probably was never before seen on
Lake Michlenn. Everybody was delighted,
anti the most enthusiastic cheers rent the air ;
the tugs joined in with their iron throats and
not very agreeable Voices, and for awhile the
noise resembled that of Babel, while the crib
might easily have been mistaken for its tower.
The tug "A.. 8. Ward," having on board Go:r.
vernor Oglesby, Colonel Bowen, and Colonel
Snyder,. of the Governor's staff; U. P. Harris,
Dr. Bramerd, several members of the Common
Council, and the usual sprinkling of represen
tatives of the ..Tess, was the first to make the
circuit of the ern); and soon with the tug
" Continental," took a "line" and COmmeneed
to tow Out the crib to its final resting-place,
This occupied about an hour and a half, the.
journey being rendered rather disagreeable
by the drizzling rain which set in, and a de
cent swell, which, however, did not materially
retard progress. Before noon the crib was in
position, two miles from shore; in the middle
of the anchors put down several days betere,
and whose places Were marled , by buoys, the
lines cast otr, and the tugs preparing to return
to the city.
One could not but observe the purity of the
water at that point in the lake ; notwithstand
ing the fact that off shore it was turbid, in
consequence of the bad weather, it was there
translucent, perfectly Wear mad pure. The
position is undetddedly One of the best that
could have been selected. Water taken . from
that point has never shown more than eight
grains of solid matter to the gallon ; it is far
enough away from shore to be unaffected by
storms, and the northwesterly current in the
lake carries away all the filth emptied into
round the head, and down
again on the east ern shore. If nothing hap
pens to bar the finish of the tunnel, or to
break it up . when finished, Chicago will have
scoured an mextraustible supply of the purest
water on the continent or in the world.
THE VALISE Or THE HIIDERTAHING
The Times says: There is something abso
lutely sublime connected with this under
taking. The idea of such a work staggers the
understanding. Two miles is a long way to
travel, even upon an unobstructed pavement;
bet when it is attempted to tunnel that distance
through the varying strata beneath a body
of water—through the unbroken soil of mother
eartb—the monster project becomes too great
for belief or confidence. And when that
tunnel is to emerge into a body of water like
Lake Michigan, at a distance of two miles
from the. shore, literally tapping the -lake
from its bottom, people scoff at the idea,and
doubt its success vigorously. - But all this is
over, The success of the tunnel is no lommr
Chimera. On the 24th day of July, 1805, the
seal of triumph was set, and the late terminus
was successfully erected. It standeont against
the horizon like a great stronghold, telling
mariners that Chicago lies beyond, and that
from thence its inhabitants drink of the crys
tal waters of the whole chain of Northern
lakes. Nature has submitted to skill, and
labor, and engineering, and poorest denizens
of this metropolis will see the time when they
Shall daily quell' water from the lake, two
miles from shore.
TEE PROGRESS OP THE TUNNEL.
When tunnelling is commenced from the
crib, the work will progress twice as rapidly
as at present. The workmen are now work
ing seventeen feet per day; greater .progress
than was ever made before m a tunnel in the
history of engineering. At seven o'clock yes
-011.14y morning the force reached out ur der
the lake ildriy-tee hundred and si„,r, feet, The
whole structure was to be completed in No
vember of the present year, but the obstacles
to be overcome will be so many, and so great,
that it will be many months before the work
will even approach completion. The con
tractors are entitled to the greatest credit for
the rapid manner in which they have prose
cuted it thus far,
cowl , or THE TUNNEL.
The original contract price of the tunnel was
$315,137, with an allowance of *551) for each foot
(in excess of live); the cribs are raised above the
surface of the lake ; and a provision that, in all
changes in construction by the board of public
works the contractors shall receive suitable
pay. The tunnel has already coat more titan
the original amount stipulated; and when
Completed the entire cost will not fall short of
two millions of dollars. The city of Chicago,
when well supplied with pure water, will not
fail to fully compensate the contractors. for
what the work cost them. It is pretty_ well
understood that they are to produce pure wa
ter, let the cost be what it will. The expense
is Very great, but they will accomplish their
undertaking, and then set Chicago ahead of
the whole world, so far as the pure fluid of
nature is omicorned.
