One of tho most striking power possessed by nnimnls i thnt of finding their way homo from a grent distance; nnd ovor n road with which they nro nt- Coxed to bo umtcmininted. It has long oen a question whothor wo are to nttri bute Uiono romnrkablo performances to a purely intuitive perception by tho ani mal of the direction and the practicable route to his home, or whether thoy nro tho result of n conscious study of the situation, nnd a definite carrying out of woll-judgod plans. Probably tho most prominent example of this wonborful power is tho case of Homing pigoons. 'Aiieso pigeons ore very strong of wing, and their intelligence is cultivated to a high degree; for thoir peculiar "gift" has been niml no of sinco "timo whereof tho memory of man runnoth not to tho contrary." Tlio principle of heredity, therefore, now acts with much force; ndvorthclcss, each young bird must bo subjected to wjverc training in order to fit it for thoso ardnous temptations which annually tako place among first-rate birds. As itoon it tho flcdKlintr is fairly strontr on its wings, it te tekon n few miles from tho cote and released. It rises into tho air, looks about it and starts straight away for home. There is no myBtery about this at nt ull when it ha attained the height of it few vnrd tho bird can seek it cote, and full of that strong love of homo which is so characteristic of iU wild ancestors, tho blue-rocks, it hastens back to the society of its mates. Tho next day tho trinl-distanco is doubled, tho third day is still further increased, nntil in a fow weeks it will return from a distance of seventy miles, which is all that a bird-of-the yoar is "fit" t3 do; and two years old, will icturn from 200 miles, long distances being loft to nioro mature birds. But all this training must bo in a continuous direction; if tho first lesson was toward tho cast, nb sequent lessons must nlso be; nor can the added distance each timo exceed a certain limit, for then, after this way and thut, and failing to recognize any landmark, tho bird will simply como back to where it was thrown up. Moreover, it must always bo clear weather. Homing pigeons will make no attempt to start in u fog, or if they do get away, a hundred chances to ono they will be lost.

A tremendous struggle ensued, nnd there wns groat consternation on tho quarter stretch whon Irish King bounded under Uio wire iu tho astonishing timo of 8K)5l4, oqual to tho best on record, with Jils Johnson second. Noithor Huektio nor Aureolas captured a plaeo. Tho farmer had struck a triple of viotories, ciUier ono of which tlio careful rich breeders would havo given a king's ran som to havo won.

(Tinsley's Magazine. A Woman Who Refused Amnestt. Somo of tho "advanced" French journals havo lately given proof of thoir innate capacity for hero-worship by extolling to tho skies Uio civic virtues and moral excellences of a female luminary of tho Commune hitherto unknown to famo. This lady has recontly been amnestied by tho President of tho Republic, but from her lofty nature the puling senti ment of gratitudo is conspicuous by its absence, if wo may judge her character by n lotter sho has addressed to that august functionary upon tho subject of her pardon. Condemned in 1871 to transportation to a fortifiod placo, Louiso Miohel was imprisoned for two years in Auborive, nnd was theuco convoyed to Numca. There sho founded a school, iu which she taught her own peculiar theo ries, physical and ethical, to tho children of hor fellow-convicts. An interesting feature in hor curriculum of study was a brand-now catechism, in which she ex ercised her pupils daily. It commenced us follows; "Who created you ? Nature." When Uio commutation of her sentence was announced to hor, sho commented upon that not of grace in these romarka blo torms: "I havo ereoted iu my heart a Paris and a Franco after my owu taste. Bnt as this France of mine does not as yot exist, I prefer to remain hero among the savages. My hour is not yot como. I am proud, and do not ohooso to inour the reproach of moral weakness in the enduronco of my axilo, I know that Paris takes it deep interest iu me. and that the Government would bo delighted could it discover tho least hloniUh in inv character." A martyr to her convictions, Louiso Michel, offered freedom nnd re turn to tho real Franco which, perhaps fortunately for Europe, differs so widoly from tho Franco created, by Iter fervid imaginaUou, chooso to remain in a penal colony nnd to iuculeate her peculiar doa trine upon tho risiug generation of Numeans.

The Simple i Tuoiel. Tho engineering enterprise of the pres ent ago is so grat that thero is nothing extraordinary iu tho fact that oveu before the St. Gotbnrd tunnel is completed it i contemplated commencing n third gigan tic tunnel through tho Simplon. A com pany for tho construction of this tunnel and tho railway in connection wiUi it wao formed in 1874, and it has already laid down tho line from Lausanne through tho valley of tho Rhone to Breig, at the foot of tho Simplon. Tho French minis ters, together with M. Oambetta and also President Grovy, aro Tory anxious Uiat this colossal undertaking should be proceeded with without delay, and it fs. affirmed that tho French GoTrcrmsssii in tends to apply to the chambers for a grant of 48,000,000 francs lor this pur pose. It is assorted that tho Itahau Government is disposed to undertake the construction of a lino from Isill, at tho foot of tho Simplon, which will bring tho tunnel into connection with the Italian railway. This line, it is estimated, will cost some 28,000,000 francs. Con cerning tho tunnel itself tho following details aro taken from tho records of the posts and telegraphs. Though the Simplon will be longer than either the Mont Cenis or the St. Gotbnrd tunnel, it is thought Uiat the construction will not bo more difficult. Tho entrance to the St. Gothard tunnel is situated at an alti tude of 1152 metres above tho level of the sep, and the Mont .Cenis tunnel at 1500' moires. Tlio entrance to the Simple) tinnel will be situated comparatively low, and the railway leading to it from Lausanne is quite straight, with an in cline in no case greater than one in 100, On the northern slope, howover, Uie in cline will be greater 13 in 1000. In con sequence of the low position, of Uie tun tel the work will not be subject to such constant interruption by the snow as Las been Uie case with the Mont Cenis and St. Gothard tnnnels. The Rhono on the Swiss and tho Rivera on the Itab'an side will furnish tho necessary water power for the boring, and, thanks to the warmth of the climate of tho canton of Wallis, it will not be necessary to suspend opera tions oven in the most rigorous season. The tunnel will be oven longer than tho St. Gothard, as Uiis latter is but 15 kilo meters in length, whereaa tho Simplos. will be 17 kilometers long. Geologists are of tho oninion that the stone of the Simplon is less hard than that of either Mont Cenis or St. Gothard, and it is cal culated that the boring can be proceeded wiUi at tho rate of from nine to ten meters per day, so Uiat the tunnel will probably be completed in six,or at meat, seven years from the date of its an nouncement. The estimated cost of the enterprise is 80 000,000 franca 74,00,. . 000 francs for thoinoneliteri:JBrig; 4,000000'francs por kilometer. Tat m tunate may be considered a little mga m comparison with the St.Gothard Tunnel, which is being constructed for 2,000,000 . francs per kilometer; butl,000,000 francs will oo expenueu on me completion o tho tunnel, and 5,000,000 on tho building of a largo international station at Brieg. Only a small portion of 80,000,000 franes which will be necessary to carry out this enterprise will bo raised by publio bsd scription that is ts Bay, only 13,500,000 ironcs. alio remaining uo,oou,ww.irWM will "be granted to the company as fol lowg; Tho Swiss Government will sub scribo 3,500,000 francs; tlio Canton of Waadt, 5,000,000 francs; the Canton of Wallis, 1,000,000; tho Cantons of Berne, Freiburg and Geneva, 2,000,000 francs; -;he Swiss Western Railway Company, 5,000,000 francs, and France 48,000,000 francs. Love-Sick Maidens Determined te Die. Many months ago, in that pari; of the city of Bordeaux which ia known, as tho Quartier do la Comedio a scene waa enacted, which, U it had been aUowed to take its course, would havo warranted, Uio change of tho name of Uie district mto Uiat of tragedy. Two young sisters, dressed in white garments, were discov ered half asphyxiated in a room, froa the middio of which a brazier sent for& the deadly fumes of burning charcoal. The windows wero immediately opened, and after two or throe daya care ia fhe hospital the girls recovered. Thoy had beeu crossed in love, it appeared, Mad deeming life uot worth keeping, they did thoir best to abandon it quietly and painlessly. So closed tho first act of. the drama. Ono day, by Uio sido of an avenue of poplar trees leading to the residence of a genUeman of Bordeaux wero found the bodies of two young women. Blood was trickling from their corpses, and lay in a pool around them. Two revolvers wero close to thoir Land, and tho pooplo who quickly collected around tuo spot recognized in tho dead before Uiem tho sisters who had previ ously attempted to commit suicide, a mentioned above. A letter addressed by ono of them to a local paper throws a faint light on tho history-of these poor maidens. "We shall die," bo ran the lotter, "close to his abode," Uio tBaa of tho owner of the nvenuo of poplar was horo mentioned "to relieve ui, his family and his friends of the trouble of repeating what thsy hive said namely, that I had played a fearful comedy in order to become his brido."
