Tlte Dover Tunnel.
Reports from Europe state that the
French Government is about granting
a charter to a company formed for the
purpose of excavating a tunnel under
the Strait of 1 lover, and thus connect
ing Great Britian and France by mean
of a railway. This project wa started
several years ago, but its practicability
was doubted, under the impression
that the tunnel would have to lie
blasted through the rock, requiring an
immense expediture or money. It i
now, however, confidently asserted bv
geologists tliat the lied of the Straits of
iwver is composed of cray .chalk,
which can be easily bored tlirough.
Under tlie view tliat the lied was
composed of hard rock it was esti
mated that the tunnel would cost fifty
millions of dollars, and would bike ten
years in its construction. Under the
thetiry tliat ttie bed of the British
Channel between Dover and Calais is
formed of chalk, it Las been calculated
that two tunnels can be completed in
four years at a cost of twenty millions.
The passage of the British Channel in
tlie ordinary small steamlioat is so
excessively disagreeable in stormy
weatlier that many persons are
deterred from crossing. Should tlie
Strait of Dover lie tunnelled, there, is
no doubt but that the mmilier of
travellers passing under the tied of tlie
British Channel would lie very great,
particularly as the time of tlie journey
from Iover to Calair would lie Blnirt
ened to a thirty minutes stay in a rail
way car.

How, when or by what means it

there eame a lime, when the tie which
bound these twain wa snapped asun

more. There was a scandal, a separa

people ceased to gossip almut the
differences of the pair. It appears,
however, that at the time of this sepa
ration Fisk had in Ids possession so
at least the fair Helen alleges! some
iroUOOO or SrlO.(KK) of his initres'
money deposited witn him to lie in

of Fisk to give up the amount, brought
about the now famous litigation. Mrs.

A Thrilling Story.
Capt. John Hobb. a famous ranger
and Indian tighterof Souora and Nor
thern Mexico, has probably suffered
greater hardships from and ha gainei
a greater knowledge ofthe plain and
frontier Indian than any white man
living in this country. Tlie exploits
of thi individual utterly overshadow
the deeds ot the reuowed Kit Carson,
with whom he was intimately ac
quainted, and completely surpass-
the doings of 'Buffalo Bill" and
"California Joe." whose names in
connection with Indian lighting have
been la-fore the public in various
periodicals during the past seven year.
When but a mere lad be gained a
great reputation among the hardy
backwoodsmen and trapper as a
wonderful shot, as he had lieen known
to bring down a deer at, four hundred
yard. At eighteen lie wa a success

and otter pond for mile through the
wilderness. Hi shrewdness attracted
i the attention of Bent, the great St.
I Louis fur trader, who secured hi
j sen-ice. when nineteen. It is to this
i incident that his subsequent niisfor
! tunes and ten year' captivity and
j sufferings among tlie Comanche may
; be attributed. Siitly after entering
I the service ofthe fur company, as the
Captain related, he. and a companion,

after we cut oil all tlie meat we want

while preiiaring our grub, a war party
of twenty Comanche braves, with
eight or ten Pawnee scalps, and a
drove of stolen jio:ue appeared on the
scene. Ibe leader ot the hand ad

queried the reporter. "Oh, they're

the Captain, laughingly. He said that
in the Fall ot 1847. after numerous
fights with Upited States soldiers,
during which he tried to escape, (rather
dubious,) the Comanche concluded to
sell him and another white prisoner
named Kirker. Thus, after ten years
ot captivity, be was taken to Fort
Bent, and was sold to Col Sumner, of
khe Sixth Cavalry. Tlie Captain was
rasomed for six yards of red flannel,
one pound of tobacco, and a string of
beads. Kirker was sold for eight
yards of curtain calico and a pound of
common Missouri tobacco. After be
ing ransomed, the Captain sought the
home or his youth ; but all bis relatives
had removed, and, Iieartbroken, he
retraced hi steps and made hi way
into Mexico, where fie joined Placida
la Vega in hi war against the Church
I'arty. At tlie conclusion he made hi
way to Chihuahua, and was employed
by Gov. Anglestre to fight "the
Attaches at tlie rate of $50 per scalp.
With thirty Mexicans, during '.six
months they raised ninety scalps.
Becoming disgusted with tlie Mexi
cans, he again cast his fortunes with
Old Wolf and the Camanches. He
continued fighting with them or three
year against other trilies, and when
the French invaded Mexico he repaired
to Chihuahua and was made a lieu
tenant of artillery in the Literal army
by Benito Juarez, and participated in
the battles of Lo Membres, Maztibilan,
Zapick, Santiago, Espiantito, Siera
Alger and various others, down to
Queretaro, when Maximilian surren
dered. At the close of the war he
again visited his Indian home, and,
gl owing tired of tliat sjiecies of exist
ence, determined to live in the future
among civilized jieople. His faith,
however, in humanity has been terribly
shaken since he has been in Gotham,
as he lost $150 in greenbacks at a place
of public amusement a few evenings
since, ami he has charged his mind
considerably. He speaks fluently the
dialects of seven different triln's

Xew Style of Vaccination.
The Xovember numlier of Ifnrjr's
Mi'jaziue gives the details of an im
proved method of vaccination, which,
in view ofthe ravages of "small-jiox in
Philadelphia and other cities, may
iH'rhap deserve the attention of our
medical practitioners. The new plan
was first practiced by a Mr. Ellis, an
English physician. Ordinary vaccina
tion is jieriormed by scraping off the
epidermis and thrusting tlie vaccine
virus into a puncture made by the
lancet. A greatly improved method,
however, consist in raising a blister
by a drop or eantharides applied to the
skin. This is fo lie pricked and the
drop of fluid let out, and a fine vaccine
point put in this plaiv and withdrawn
after a moment ot delay ; the epidermis
alls back and quite excludes tlie air.
shutting out any germs that might Ik?
floating in the atmosphere. This
method has lieen practised by Mr. Ellis
for twenty year, and out of hundred
or caes of vaccination which he ha
performed, he has never had an in
stance of blood-poponing or absces.
wiii'e by tlie ordinary method an
occn rencc of seoontlary ab4is is by
fuo insan uncommon, and tliat ofpy
aMiiia is often observed. The compara
tive safety of this method is lielieved
to lie due. first, to the exclusion ofthe
air, and, second, to the lecr size ol
the aperture for the introduction ot
misi-hief than when the puncture are
made by the lamvt.
