( THE ' CHINESE OPIUM FIENDS. The Iaunraae Quantity of the Drug Oon- •uuied in New York. It was for the purpose of giving an accurate and interesting account of how 9,000Chinamen spend $468 349.75 annually just for tho pleasure of “hitting the pipe," that tho Chinese reporter of the World mado a thor ough canvass of tho various haunts of Chinatown. There are at present about twenty- five Chinese firms that deal in refined opium, both wholesale and retail. There aro eleven private Chinese Joints, whore opium is sold at $2 25 per ounce. These joints do not now admit white smokers, on account of the frequent raids mado upon thorn by the police, but the storos sell to both Chinese and whites, although tho lat ter must bo well-known smokers. Otherwise ho has to suffer for the want of opium—which, according to all ac counts, is even worse than to see Great tears would “snakes." his eyes, big gush out of perspiration constantly drops of moisten his brow, while his nostrils would act as if he owned a small-sized fountain somowhore In his hoad. But tho worst of all tho ailments is an ex cruciating pain all over his back-bone, as if ho had boon just run through a fine clothes-wringer. Under such cir cumstances ho would almost be will ing to give half of his on tiro kingdom to be able to “hit tho pipe.” Six pills or pipes, about the size of a green pea, would restore him to his natural condition of lifo. which would last him for about as many hours. A regular “fiend” will consume about an ounco per day, which Is $2.25. Tho sonsation whilo smoking Is, in deed, soothing. No matter how fa tigued or oppressed in mind, a few whiffs of tho pipo would put a man in the best of social spirits. It has strange medicinal properties, and is said to cure all kinds of fevers and ague, con sumption and palpitation of tho henrt MostChinamon arodriven to it through business reverses and other troubles, while not a few contracted tho habit through sociability. Just as an Amer ican would do on their “take a drink” with a friend. It takes just about the samo length ot time to got the opium habit as to get tho drinking habit. Tho latter de stroys tho mind, and makes a man ir responsible for ills actions, while tho former dostroys tho body but makos a keen thinker of tho victim. It is esti mated that tlioro aro something over one thousand Americans in the city of New York who aro now using opium in tho same manner and form as tho Chinese. Most of tlioso are said to bo well-known and fashionable people, as indeed no other but people of moans and of leisure could over bo ablo to contract such a habit The opium-dealing firms soli from two to live cans per day, oach can weighing about four ouncos. Most ot tho wholesale orders come from towns and cities in nnd around Now York Slnto, nnd only now and thon tho native American customers from up town come in to buy thoir supply. Say thoy soil nil ^average of tliroo cans per day. At wholesale rates, which is $8 35 per can for China im ported goods, but when retailed out at thj 50 cents’ worth at a time it would bring it up to about $10 to $11 per can. At $10, which is tho lowost posslblo prico per can, sixty-six cans amount to $660 per day, or $240,900 per year. There aro eleven joints. Tho ma jority of thoso import thoir own opium, said to bo direct from China, but tho groater part of which oomos front Victoria, 11. C. Ono of thoso places, which is tho host Chineso joint in town, sells at rotail on Sundays alono from ton to twolvo cans, whilo tlio second best place soils from oight to ton cans on Sundays. On an aver age those Joints disposo of ilvo cans a day. Thoso placos calculate to mako from $2 to $3 on oach can of Chineso Imported opium, but thoy aro ablo to make more when thoy mix tho Vic toria in with tho pure. Thus it can easily bo soon how nearly fil.000,000 changes hands for opium por year. According to Chinese San Francis co papers thoy paid over $800.000 for eustom-house duties for tho Chineso year just endod on opium alone. But one very curious fact is that a China man is frequently deceived. When ho pays for tho roal imported Chinoso opium ho gots Victoria (K C.) opium, which is sold in sevoral Chi neso storos at $5 50 por can, but since tho rocont custom-houso troll bio it has gone up to $6. Tho samo articlo can be had in Canada for $4.25 to $1. 50. If tho duties are paid upon thoso Vic toria goods it is jsaid by the smokers that thoy could not buy it at tho above rates, but would have to pay $7 a can for it —I Ain Foo, in AT. Y.

HOOSAC TUNNEL. One of the MoNt Wonderful Triumphs et American enterprise. Cyclonic, Volcanic and Other Dungarees Types of Waves. Tho Hoosac mountain stretchoi across tlie westorii part of Massachu setts, ami forms a natural barrier be tween that State and New York. How to make a direct lino of communica tion between these neighlioring States was a problLin that it took half a cent ury to solvo. At tho point chosen for tlie excavation of the tunnel, the top of tlie ridge is 2 50'.) feet above the level of the se:>. and is approached on the east by the valley of tile Deerfield river, and oil tlie west by the Hoosac river, a tributary of tlie Hudson. Tlieso valleys begin not more than five miles apart, and thus allow rail ways to reaoh the tunnel by easy grades. Asearly as 1825. commission ers of the Legislature reported in favor ot tunneling tho Hoosac mount ain for a canal, lint nothing was done about it, and in 1811 a railroad going over tho nioun niu was completed, and iho tunnel project was abandoned. Tho building of a tunned, however, was embraced in the plan of tho Troy & Greenfield railroad, which was in corporated in 1818. but no work was done on it for some years, owing to tho difficulty of obtaining rsdstance from th • Slato. In 1854 the State Leg islature passed an act providing for a loan of credit to Iho amount of $2.000.- 000 for tlie cons'.rudion of the Hoosac tunnel, but tlie gift was hampered by conditio » which inailo it not directly available by tho company, and thus tlie work was greatly hindered. Sev eral contracts were made for the exca vation of tho tunnel, but all fell through l>y failure of tho company to meet payments when due, and the work was not begun with vigor unlil 1857. It was thon carried on until July, 1861. up to which time tho Stato had advauoed nearly $800.000 for tlie work, but as tlie State officials then refused to longer cerlify tho bills of the contractors, work was suspended, and tlie project was entirely aban doned by the railroad company. In 1862 the Slate assumod control of the work, and appointed commissioners to supervise it; those found serious de fects in tho tunnel plan and recom mended Important eliangos. Work was begun again in Doconibor, 1863, but ho slowly did it procoed that he Hoosnc ‘tunnol bccamo to the peo ple of Massachusetts a symbol of all impossible nnd unatlainablo results. But tho second voritablo epoch in tlie history of the onterpriso may be said iodate from 1868, when tho Stalo de cided, after much discussion, to have iho work completed immediately. I'lio contract was then awarded to the Messrs. Shanly, of Canada, who vigor- >usly prosecuted the work, day and light, and on Thanksgiving Day, N ivembor 27. 1873. tho laborers ad vancing from both sides met, and light was admitted through the tun nel. It was completed in March, 1874, and trains were running through it by tlie following September. The length of the tunnel is 25.031 foot or f >ur and three-quarter miles. It is 26 foot wide, anil varies in hoiglit from 23 to 26 feet. The grade allowed is 26 foot to tho niilo during tho entire distance, fr< in each portal to tlio cen tral shaft, making tho interior suniinii more than 60 feet higher than the ends. There is a central shaft in tlie 'r.ni'ol which occasions sufllciont irauglit to ventilate it quite effectual ly. Tho entire cost <>f tho tunnel is oslimatcd at $10 000.0)0.

A wave is a thing of beauty, but it is only a joy to those who watch it march ing in splendor and foam from the safe refuge of the shore. It is a very naus eating condition of voyaging. It makes the bones of ships creak as if they were full of rheumatism. It tills the brain with a sense of chaos, and one moment swings tho moaning traveler to the stars and the next plunges him into an abyss hideous with gloom and the hiss ing as of millions of snakes. To meas ure waves in a severe tempest is even more difficult than to mark effects. When the woathor rises to such fury as makes the seas oolossal enough to ren der the determination of their height exceedingly important, there is usually too much anxiety, and oven distraction, for observation. The weight of the wind is so violent that it is almost im possible to show one's face to iL For the true Andean sea one must go down to Cape Horn—perhaps to as far as sixty degrees south. There are sail ors who, standing at the wheel of a ship running before these seas, will never willingly look behind them, lest the sight of the oncoming rampant of green water, arching toward the taff- rail, should unnerve them. Standing on a deck twenty feet above the water line, you yet look up at the crest of these sens as at the top of a mountain. The gigantic grace, the huge majesty of these liquid Titans can not be de scribed. It is necessary to be hove-to to appreciate their height, volume and power; to watch from the low broad side the swelling approach of the mighty mass, with its freckled front and foam less head flickering in bottle green to the dull light of the gray sky; to feel the sweep of the ship up the enormous acclivity, and then, while for the space of a breath only, she hangs poised with upright masts and shrieking rig ging on the headlong brow, to look down nnd behold tho valley beneath, into which the vessel an instant after slides like a comet It is difficult to write of the seas which run in heavy weather off the southern most point of South America without risk of being charged with ex- aggera'ion; they must be seen, and a little spell of custom will render ad miration easy. It is impossible to be tossed by them in such vessels as now mako the passage of tho Horn without wondering by what miracle of luck or phenomenal merit of seamanship the old navigators were enabled to beat against thorn in their small, half decked boats, somo no bigger than a Deal lugger, without a touch of the weatherly qualities of suoli craft But let it not be supposed that the high wave is tho dangerous one. The regular running surges may all l>o as tall as the biggest hotel in London with a ninth fellow among them as high as the monument, and yet none prove nearly so dangerous as the pyramidal seas of the cyclono. Of all forms of vexed water the cyclonic agitation is the worst. Here is a whirlwind of as tonishing fury so many miles in diame ter. For a little while it runs a steady sea, but presently its gyrations brings up a surge from another quarter, then conies the lull, followed by a frightful outlly of storm from a direction opposite to the point from whioh the wind last blew. The seas, coming into collision, tight like wolves. They snap nnd howl, leaping high in conifled shapes in the very similitudo of sentient passion. Tho staggering of the ship is indescribable. There is no rythmic swing to give her molions something of tho vibrations of the pendulum. Her decks are filled with water, while her bows divo into a chasm that has opened under her forefoot, a valley yawns under her sturn and a hill of water flashes up on either side. It has not been suggested that the altitude of the cyclonic wave should be determined. Probably there is no eye afloat equal to such an undertaking. Another very uncomfortable sea is the volcanic wave. It is not very long ago that a vessel, steaming through quiet waters on a dark night, was sud denly burled up by an invisible billow that was reckoned to be between thirty and forty feet high. Three such waves passed under her, the last being the least in volume, and then all was dead flatness ot ocean again. The stoutest heart might well thump to such an on- vountcr as this.— London Telegraph. HAPPINESS AT HOME. The True Art ot Living I. to l.lve With out the Least Friction. There nro innumerable books that tench us how to behave in society, how to demean ourselves at the church, the theater and the lycouni. But the place above all others where a man or womnn should know how to conduct themselves with propriety is at homo. The greater portion of every person's -ocinl life is spent at home, and, there fore, it is a logical deduction that, if ;ood manners nro essential to mutual happiness they should ba brought mto use nt homo ns w. 11 n. in society. The great secret ot homo happiness is the absolute ro| ression of temper. There are much more eloquent and ef fective ways of expressing dis.-ip- iroval, than by an outburst of angry ■i ord a If your brother leaves tho door open, never tall him of it G > and close it without a word, If you tell him of it, it scuds a nervous quiver through his frame that will culminate in a burst of temper expressed. But if you close the door yourself you give him asilont obj et-lesson that he will not forgot. A housewife’s food is usually good, and If the "gudo man" dislikes it, ho may bo practically sure his dislike arises from his own pampsrod taste. But If there Is any particular dish against which his stomach re lads, lie will show true domestic philosophy and shrewdness by not mentioning it The bint will bo sufficiently broad If he simply refrains from it. No dish will bo cooked many times In succes sion that is not eaten. The true art of living Is to live with out friction; to live without friction nover scold in words.
