SDTRO TUNNEL".
On the evening of the th insi,-a
quarter before eleven o'clock, the last
big blast with cartridges of giant pow
der broke away the narrow strip of rock
which separated the Sutro tunnel from
the deep level of the savage mine, and
befitting the occasion, Mr. Sutro was
himself the first person to pass through
from the tunnel inco the mine, and
thence up the shaft to the surface. It
was a gigantic undertaking, and f rom
the breaking of the ground, October 19,
1869 the anniversary of the surren
der of Obrnwallis to "Washington, at
XT t. ' . L it. . . . iM ... ii.
x orivLuwu, py-me-way unin jiow, wio
vast enterprise has been urged forward
under difficulties which all the time
developed the indomitable spirit and
prodigious resources of its projector in
; overcoming obstacles that would have
appalled almost any. other man. f He
; had something ? moret unyielding than
nature to meet and conquer the pow
erful antagonism ' of immense wealth
"combined in solid and obdurate, mass
to oppose him which neither diamond
drills could penetrate nor giant powdef
blast from before him. But he ; lias
won .the brave battle j by pluck and
push aided by that chief essential,
gold coin. He has driven . lua . tunnel
through about 20,000 feet of base rock
from Sutro, in Carson Yalley, the en
trance point, to the shaft of the Savage,
which opens near the peak of Mount
Davidson. The total cost of the work
is estimated at nearly four millions of
dollars. ;Hayi&g now tapped the Corn
stock, Mr, Sutro. will doubtless work
northward to intersect! the bonanza
mines, and search the utmost ore limit
in that direction. Whether he will
also penetrate . south toj through: and
beyond the Chollar-Potosi, is the prob
lem only himself or his successors, can
or will probably solve. The paramount
questions of the present, jnow that" his
tunnel has struck the opening to the
great mining shafts, are : i What will he
do with it? and, how Vilj it pay ? As it
stands, however, it is the prodigy of
mining and engineering enterprises, and
has made the name of itsjprojectoi con
spicuous, if not famous. If it shall
realize his prophesies jand hopes, he
need not fear of lack of either fame or
fortune. And, in any event, he has
demonstrated his ability lo subdue na
ture and overcome the power of gold
to oppose and defeat him. II The effect
of the tunnel upon the stock market
will be an interesting and material mat
ter for dealers as well as share-holders,
directors and managers to take into
account. I . ;
Warning to American G iiils.--01ive;Logan
relates that an American
girl went over to Paris wih her brother
the other day, and the instant she was
left alone, with her companion in the
carriage, a middle-aged Frenchman
insulted her. She toM j her brother
when he returned, and there was a fear
ful outburst The Frenchman gave
itim his card, and said he was deeply
sorry, and said he would abide by the
decision of the other as io the conse
quences torensue for his jmistake, but
certainly he never suspected that
mademoiselle was a lady, as she was
painted ! The brother appealed to the
best authorities in Paris in these mat
ters, to learn what the code was under
tliese circumstances, and all the men of
the J ockey Chab., told him that if his
sistera eyelashes: were blackened and
her cheeks roughed, ho could have no
redress, as these-, practices! were never
followed by "une-demoiselle de monde."

PLTIASANT II
cstne years since we reecwc:'i i
, ,tat how in twentv years Un
man to
marie a
comfortable fortune. He had a wife of
taste, enterprise .and industry. lie
would buy a farm which had been run
down "by neglect and . slovenliness-chouse
unpainted, fences broken down
and the front yard a hog range. He
could always buy cheap, as such owners
were always in debt and had to sell.
He would then repair it by painting
and other small but important Jteins.
But he said his main dependence wa3
on his wife. She - would soon, have
the old garden brilliant with flowers,
while she would improvise cheap rustic
porches or piazzas, and have them laugh
ing with the sweet - vines. Then . the
place would be sold for . nearly double
the price of purchase six months pre
vious. Then he would buy again, thus
buying and selling continually. We do
not, however, introduce these things to
be followed in all respects, but to il
lustrate the increased value attached to
a farm adorned by a little taste and in
dnstry. But that is not all. There is
real enjoyment in having the home in
which one is to ljve and die adorned in
a manner - which no gorgeous : uphol-
stering nor
gilded
mouldings
sustain
ing cosily lace can compete with. The
dark-green ivy-leaves and vines, which
can "be taught to twine about walls,
pictures and windows, add refinement
and comfort and contentment to any
home. And yet how cheap :.' these
priceless companion ornaments,: to
which Solomon in all" his glory could
not compare! Plant flowers and train
the vines if you would have the world
envy you in your home, and seek to
obtain it by which you can command,
but which will ever perpetuate its
beauty. How few there are who reallv
appreciate- the materialized smiles of
God unless they can buy them with
money.
A Fettered Female. A man
whose every look proved how hungry
and penniless he was, halted before an
eating stand at the Central Market to
let his month water for a while. The
woman called out: "Come be jogging
along! You won't get any food here
unless you have the cash." "My dear
woman," he confidentially began, "I
am not hungry; I just left the breakfast
table, after the heartiest meal I ever
ate. ; I was not looking at your beauti
ful meats, your lovely cakes or your
rich and uicy pies, but at yourself."
"What you looking at me fori" "I was
wondering," he said "if you were any
relation to Lady Clare, of England.
You" have the same brown eyes, same
beautiful hair, same sweet accent." "1
never knew her," replied the woman, as
her face began to clear up. "Didn't,
eh? Well, I never saw two faces nearer
alike in their sweet expression. I wish
I had your portrait painted on ivory I
really wTsh I had " She handed him
half a pie and a peice of meat, as he
sauntered off, she began hunting around
for a peice of broken mirror.
r A Quiet Little Woman The Eu
reka Sentinel tells how a lady (they are
all ladies in Eureka), upon peing insul
ted by some, coal-burners, proceeded:
She simply let fly with her right duke,
countered on the nearest one's ear, and
sent him to grass in the most approved
style. The second came in for a stinger
in the eye, and the third, completely
intimidated, beat a retreat around the
corner. Then the barkeeper sung out,
"take your partners for a waltz," and
she vacated the gory field, and was soon
f whirling in the "mazy" with an admirer,
to whom she confidentially remarked:
"I'm one of the quietest little women
that ever slung a hoof in Eureka; but
when I'm riled, I'm bad and; don't
you forget it." He promised not to.

Short But Heavy At Grand Lake,
New Brunswick, there lives an old man
who will be 98 years of age on the 10th
of next October, named Michael Mc
Geary,, who reads the " newspapers
readily, even when printed in the
smallest, type, and whose great-great-grand.daughter,
a washer-woman, who
waits upon him, is but three feet, lack
ing an eight of an inch, in height. He
has a great-granddaughter, who does
not live with him, who is just three
feet tall, but whose great weight of 292
pounds renders her incapable of doing
any ; work, and pi-events her from
standing on her feet more than fifteen
minutes at a time. N. Y. Star. .
George TuoarsoN, an Englishman,
started from Grindelwald, in Switzer
land, intending to ascend the Faulhorn
without & guide. Taking the path over
the Holzmatzteitf and besoming giddy,
he got into such a position in the Knie
brecher that he dared neither advance
nor retreat. Here he remained five
days and six nights, subsisting on such
herbs and roots as. he could gather. At
last,, growing desperate, he contrived to
slide down the mountain on his back,
and crawled to a cottage near the Abuss
Alp, where he got food and shelter.
A man who has. the-habit of giving
way to depression is on the road to ruin.
When trouble comes upon him, instead
of arousing his energies to combat it,
he weakens, andhis faculties grow dull
and his judgement becomes obscured
and he sinks in the- skmght of despair.
And if anybody pulls him safe on solid
ground, he stands there dejected and
discouraged, and is pretty sure to waste
the means of help which have been giv
en him.

whose field 'was set down, for the
value of the wheat, and the lucky man
refuses to compromise with him.
