well a tunnel if yuu please. Kvery such
miuer, almost, has had it too truthful ex-
perience of the fact, that whether his tun
nel is driven iuto earth or rock, fine of
his greatest annojauecs, ere he reaches fif
ty feet iuto the hill or mountain before

In many situations, along our narrow
valleys, the farm house aud buildings are
located at uo great distauce from the foot
of the hills aud ridges that bound them on
cither side; and sometimes, doubtless,
with the very view of rendering available
the water from some pure spring, issuing
from their siJts It is in such localities,
or in the immediate vicinity of abrupt
hills, rising high in the back ground, and

The advantages of such a tunnel over
the common well, are these : they can be
constructed generally at a lcs cost than '
attends the construction of the ordinary 1

well. They cau bo ruu in at puch an el
cvatinn that the water conveyed in a pipe,
can be carried to any part of the farm

tiaiucut his grounds bya fid mv, or foun-

Is it true, that an anti-slavery Church
in the free States can reach the evil of
slavery ouly in one way, aud that by way
of the mercy seat? May they not do
something by their 'valiant words," ut-

I Milan, the capital uf I.ombardy, bas a
! population of about ltiO,000 persons, not
including the Austrian garrison and the
: strangers temporarily resideut there. It t
is situated in a wide open plain, between
tue Olona and Saveso rivers, tributaries ,
of the river l'o. It has bceu the scene of !
many a conflict of arms betweeu rival oa- (
tions, and has at different times been un- j
der the dominion of Spain, Austria and ,
Trance. It was twice ciptured by the
i I'reuch, and in 1S05 the first N'jp.leou
made it the capital of the Kingdom of It- '
aly. By the. treaty of Hlo, it was re
stored to Austria, with the adjoining tei-
1 ritory.
Milan is a very ancient city, being foun-'
! ded 400 years before tbe Christian era
; It was inhabited aud embellished by ma
ny of the Roman Emperors; and thus
been the birth place of many eminent
men, including a number of l'opes. This
city, though besieged forty limes, aud for
' ty times taken, and four times destroyed,

The editor of tbe Enquirer, in the above
paragraph, has made tils own platform,
and we assure bim, with all frauktess,
that on it can not be carried a single comi
ty in any Southern State. His position is
, in direct conflict with tbe Dred Scott De
cision and the Cincinnati platform, and
we do not see bow auy one holding it can
pretend to nationality of sentiment. Lou

To the above paragraphs we call thc

The Mini't.E Aoes. A "Hstory of.
Progress in Great Britain," just published,
gives soma curious statistics. The early
: inhabitants of the isles made but two
meals a day ; a slight breakfast in tbe
forenoon, and a supper which atoned for
their matutinal abstinence. Wood, earth- ,
enware, or osier supplied the dishes, and
horns or shells the drinking vessels at tLe
primitive repasts of wood-stained or tkin
cld diners. Agriculture has flourished 1
and faded much iu the same way from
Cjieen Boadicea to Queen Victoria. Iu
one respect tbe middle ages people showed t
themselves more dainty than their desccn- ;
dants. In 1300 tho King was petitioned
to stop tho smoke by prohibiting tbe bur
ning uf coal. Burning sea coal was at
one ti.no a capi'al offence, aod in the
reign of Edward I, a man was executed
for it.
Imtroveh Friction Matches. Thc
common friction matches aro not water
proof, and are often so affected by even
thc moisture in thc atmosphere that no
light can be obtaiued from them. It is
: not thc sulphur which is thus sensitive to
humidity, but thc phosphoric enmposi
i tion. By a recent invention they arc
I made water proof without increasing the
I cost. Instead of dipping them first in .
sulphur and then in the phosphoric com- '
: position, they are dipped in tho composi-
tion first and then in the sulphur, by 1
which method the phosphorus has a water
proof covering, which breaks off at the
first attrition, leaving the phosphorus bare :

An important decision, affecting the
rights of the colored people iu Ohi , wa9
delivered last week in the Court of Com
mon Pleas at Cleveland, by JuJgc Footo.
The case in point was tbat of a colored
tailor, named Freeman H. Morris, whose
vote was refused at a nceot election.
JuJge Fonte rendered a decision in favor
of the plaiutiff, declaring the "Black
Law" of tbe State unconstitutional, on
the ground tnat under tbe old Constitution
of the State, all persons having more than
half white blood were declared to be le
gally white. Tbe new Constitution mere
ly mentions "white persons," without par
ticular definition. Tbe plaintiff, Morris,
bas but one-fourth negro blood io bis veins.
