For some timo past cngineors in New York citp have beon planning a proposed tunnel through tho North river for the accommodation of freight trains, similar to tho Hudson river tuunel now in courso of constsuctiou. Tho project an tedates tho latter euterpriso. It includes tho Central Tuuuol nud Uuilwny compa ny movement, for which articles of incor poration wero tiled in March, and tho newer project known as tho New York and New Jersey tunnel. It was atutod rcoently that such mon as Louis and George Lorillard, Henry C. Stetsen, John McCracken, tho wealthy Califor niun; Gottvonour Villotson, Georgo Woodman, W. II. Dnnuery, W. F. Hatch, James Bowman, John Stone, Schyllor Kent, Ogden Schiellliu and tho Nichols families wero interested iu tho first, and that of O. I C. Billings, rep resenting bis brother of tho Northern Paoitlo;U. Clark and J. B. Westbrook, builders nt that road, wero among thoso interested iu tho second sohemo. The New York aud the New Jersey tunnel is deigned to cross tho river al a point bo low tho city hall, thus allowing the New Jer.ey aide to forward their freight cars without breaking bulk. Several surveys have been made at various points on the river and are still going on. It is stated at the oiilco of the company that the pre linunary work bad cost $50,000 and it is estimated that the entire cost will be $10,000,000. The c.Mitr.l tunnel, it is inteuded, will start from a point at or near the oity hall etrvet, will run under Elm street, Lafayette place and Fourth avenue, and connect with the Fourth avenue tunnel. The river tunnel will be 100 feet below tho surface, and the land tunnel from 36 to 50 feet under the ground. Near the eity ball, at a point where the land is lowest, it ia intended to build a depot. About Divorces. Tho divorco question is an old pdo, of conrse. but it has periodical porioda of revival, and becomes as lively a topic as preacher or legislator can discuss. Tna remarkable sermons now being preached by Lev. Dr. Dix are attracting national attention, and none of them more so than tho one on "divorces. Iho current number cf the North American ltcview discusses tho question from the theolog ical end legal stand roint; in short, pick np the every-day newspaper and there is some allusion to tins divorce problem Judge Elcock, of Philadelphia, said that divorces in Pennsylvania can be Lad more easily than in any other common wealth in the Union. This calls the at tention of our citizens to the honor of our own homes and makes us ask," What are yon going to do about it?" For some timo there seems to have bean nut two views held concerning this social prob lem. Tho laxity of certain State laws concerning divorco wero the direct result of reaction against the harsh rnles of tho church. Theology either mado marriage a sacrament, or permitted only one re a son for a divorco, viz: adultery. This was a littlo too rigid and overdid itself. for it is a matter of record that the crimo of adultery was committed by collusion in order to obtain a divorce. Then came tho law-njakcr, who erred on tho other side and muijo uiverce getting so easy that it bas become altogether too coin mon. It is true that marriage, so far as the law is concerned, is simply a contract, but one so far-reaching in its social consequences that it should not bo idly or negligently broken. Ono of tho chief causes for divorce in this State that is tho most common cuuso is desertion for two years. All partios Lave to do is to live apart, and on cx-parto testimony the judge is bound to give a divorco. Con corning this Judge Elcock, in a Times interview, says: "ihe first thing to be dono should be to change tho term of dosertion, making it five or six years, and then the respond ent should be requirod to appear in conrt so. that tho averment of the libcllunt might bo put to tost before a decree is made. As it is now, malice must be as sumed from tho fact of tho alleged deser sion. Tho examiner has mnch the samo power as a master, and if the rctnrus are in legal form, the respondent having had notice by publication, tho judgos having limited discretion must take tho report as final, and though they-may feci that tho case is not right, in the absenco of proof, and the impossibility of obtaining it tho decreo must be made." That divorces are necessary every ono must admit, but should not bo granted for every whim and humor. Prof. Wool soy is of tho opiuion that the fauilitiesof getting divorces and tho increasing causes for divorces, iucreaso the number of divorces themselves hence ho advo cates separation instead of ubsolnto di vorco, which carries tho permission to remarry. Of course no orfoct law can bo mado, one thut cannot be evaded or ono which will not occasionally work nn njury. Jii'liro Jameson, of Chicago, brings to the aid of society the red t-apo of law. Ho would mako divorces mora difficult to get by throwing around them much legal obstruction and would bavo uniformity of law on tho subject by pusn- g a rcdcrul statu to. Then again ho is opposed to absolute divorces iu many a.ses rranting only tuaiplo separation with tho right of parties to remarry. Tho only tiling uftcr ull is to chaugo our law radically, but mako it moro decided, a littlo Ichs lenient aud takeaway the laxity of its execution. In the long run, pub lio opinion, not law, establshes our social relations. Tho marital relation cannot bo preserved by law, aud so Judge Jame son concludes, as all seusiblo men must: "1 inally, tho most elloolivo remedy will be the elevation of public sentiment in regard to tho sanctity of marriage; not sanctity in tho ecclcbiustical sense, which makes of it a sacrament, but iu that of tho highest social obligation thatcnn bind tho conscience of a man of honor and onesty tho obligation to keep tho faith he pledged in marriage to his wife and o tlio State, and which ho renews upon the birth of each of his children, to abide with her until death, unless senaratod by law for strictly neo msasy crises." Our Potago Stumps. , Tho new two cent rato of letter pnstago goes intoolTcct on tho 1st day of October uext, nini iy tho change tho familiar green threo cent stump, bearing tho pro Ule of ashington, will go out of use af ter thirtccu years of service. Tho first issuo of adhesivo pos'.ngo stamps used by tho Governmontain. enred iu 1851, and oonsltited of two denomina tions a tivo cent stamp bearing the face of Franklin, whoso zeal and ability laid the foundation of our postal system, nnd a ten-cent stamp with tho head of Wash ington upou it. Not very leng after a sooond series ot tivo denominations was issued. Tho ono-cent stamp bore Franklin's image, tho threo Washington's, tho live JelVorson's and tho ton aud twolvo a var ied pietnro of Washington. Iu 1S57 tho series was increased by tho issue of a twenty-four, a thirty aud a niuety eeut stamp, and of these two dif ferent portraits of Washington uionpoliz ed tho twenty-four aud ninety, while a secoud view of Franklin tilled the framo of the thirty. The third issue appeared in 1SG1, Washington still appearing on live of tho denominations, Franklin on two and Jef ferson on ono. Iu 1S03 the first two-cent stamp was printed. It was black, and bore tho faco of Jackson very conspicuously placed. In 180(5 the fifteen-cent stamp was in troduced for foreign postage, and hid placed npou it tho portrait of Lincoln. These remained in uso without change till 1S70, when a scrioa of ten square stamps of various designs apwearod, three of them portraits. The oiie cent was still reserved for Franklin; Wash ington waa placed on tho six-cent aud Liuooln on the ninety-cent. Tho other designa were fanciful and unpopular, and a new issue, the ono now in nv, was brought out a month later. In thi Franklin i on tho oue-cent, Jackson on the two, Washington on the three, Lin coln on the six, Jefferson on the ten, Clay on the twelve, Webster on the fif teen, Scott on the twenty-four, Hamilton on the thirty and Commodore O. II. Perry on the ninety. The seven w as later given to Stanton and the fire to Garfield. Tuns it will be seen that, from the flrt the denomination in commonest use bas borne the head of Washington. As Uio thr.e-cent stamp will now go almost entirely out of use, and the two-cent be come universal, it i very proper that the postmaster general ahould place the lm sgeof Wa-hington on a newly-designed two-cent stamp, as ho intends to.

I shall never forget a little incident con nected with Davies which happened in a Broadway house near Union Square. Ho came into the back parlor, bought a hundred dollars' worth of chocks, and just as he placed them on the six-spot, the doors leading to the front parlor were opened and 'Wash,' bead waiter, announced that supper was ready. Leav ing bis bet Davies went into tue ironi parlor, tucked a napkin nuder his chin, and while engaged with his soup, tho $100 on tho six-spot becumo 8200. When informed of the fact Dink said quietly to the waiter who bad notified him of his luck. 'Leave it.' A few seconds later tho six won again. Davies repeated, Leave it.' It won again, and the blonde gambler, pushing away bis sonp and reaching for the fish, said, 'Leave it. For the fourth time it won, and in this way the $100 was inflated to $1000. The dealer concluded to get something to est himself about this time, and- when play was resumed Davies Lad finished a supper which cost the house tuw.

The ncwsiaper the universal litera ture of our people is itself becoming a library of knowledge and art. No man can read habitually even ono of our chief ncwspapers without an immense opening of bis horizon of thought, a great quickening of his intellect, and a substantial relution with tho thought and feeling of tho whole world. Tho differ ence between a man who can read well enough to enjoy his newspaper and one who cannot is hardly to be estimated. 1 suppose our newspnpor education is the most influential of til in this country. But it depends for its existecco nnd its improvement on the preparation for its use and enjoyment made in our common schools. It rises in tone, spreads iu in tedlcctual breadth and increases in moral purity as the reading class becomes more numerous and variod. It is a great mis take to speak lightly of newspapers. Tho press, I think, has a somewhnt romantic and exaggerated idea of its supremacy in creating or leadiug pnblio opinion, but iu its general educating influopeo, its stimulus for thought, it has a certain tondenoy to create a taste for belter read ing than it can itself supply. I do not beliovo it is easy to overrate its national importance.
