i'HE successful completion of the Mont

Ctrii* Tunnel -.till direct public attention more than over before to that now being

hteadily drilled in the western part of

Ma-.-achii.=eU?, and known as the Hoosae.

The mountains Ujrongh which it is slo'.v ly' pa-hing its way are a disconnected rarifreof the great Green Mountain chain,

which stretches from Canada to Connectic-

cut.and which gives its own peculiar char

acter and grandeiii' of form to these lesser

heads. The name of the-e mountains

comes from the river, which was called Hoo-ac by the Indians, and whose sources

.-tart from separate summits at the north

and south of the range, and winding

downward through gorge, gully am] glen,

meet in the valley and flow on to

the IIud.-.L-:i. The mountain which

is making itself and sisters a world

wide celebrity by the iron pavrd

thoroughfare which is soon to traverse its bed, liesscven miles distant, directly east of Williarostown, in a gap between two

nearer mountains.

The tunnel of the Iloosac will be a cut

of nearly five miles from cast to west, and

is now being worked by three gang-at four dificrent points, day and night. Near

theca-tern entrance is the biiilding which contains the machines—four of .steam and

five of water power—for compressing air and forcing it into the tunnel for the u-o

of the drilling machine*, and (o supply

ventilation. The aii is conveyed in an

iron pipe, which is laid about two feet

beneath the rail track. The tunnel on tliis side is opened, and the rails laid

down to the extent of a mile and a half, but the work is not completed to thai-

length. The portal is twenty feet in height, and twenty-four fee: in width

which will be the width and height

of the entire tunnel when comple

ted—a half mile of that size, with its arched, rocky roof and side-*, is finished

At tbi-point, the half mile Itniit, and

also at the extreme end of the work, wherw the virgin soil is being bla-ted,

gangs of men are employed night and day at labor. Three hundred and ,= ix!v

men are employed at this side of the

mountain, two hundred at the we-t open ing (he oppo-itc side, and eighly-five

at the shaft 11 the summit. The men

at the three different locations wo.k on the eight-hour system, going in to labor

and coming out three times in (he twen-ty-lo hours. The wages are from to

!?." per day for each man tho-:e that do the blasting receiving the most pay.

Asa

PKCUMAii instance of the mean

ness with which the Kentucky Legisla

ture has been pursuing the colored race, and as an in .iance, also, of the itneonatitu-

finnttl law\s which, if not repealed, must

be nullified by the courts, the Louisville Commercial mentions (he sixth sec!ion of

the homestead exemption law of Febru

ary 10, lSfii). After providing that the dwelling-house of everv head of a family

shall, to the extent of one thousand dollars in value, be exempt from all execu

tion and from all compuUorv process for

the payment of deb! and that even a mortgage tip if, unless a debtor's wife

joins in it, shall not be enforced, the sixth section limits all the bandits of the act to

while men. The wise and kind-hearted

law linkers perhaps only made the law to protect while laud-holders against

suils by colored farm hands for wages,

fnder no circumstances were colored

folks to be encouraged in the purchase of lands.

Tim Chicago Ilcpuiilican claims that

the Western News Company of that citv is fairly entitled to divide (he honors of tlu'"I Tea! lien Chime" with li:r.T Haute. Ihe illustrations of (hose popular verses, published by Mr. Walsh's great establishment, have tickled the public palate

beyond anything of the kind ever attempted. The lithographing is very line,

and the entire work is done in as good

shape as could have been produced in New York, we vemure to s.iv. The demand lor it is far beyond even Walsh's power to supply. Orders come in every

day from Bo-ion, New ork, Philadelphia

and other Ka-tern cliie The Hon.

Philadelphia Inquirer thinks that

if the commissioners whom it is propo-ed to send to San Domingo can find the

real sentiments of the people of that is

land they will he far more astute than

any Americans now in S.ui Domingo.— One ha'l of our shrewd countrymen send

word that the .minieans are anxious to

at once incorporate themselves with the I nited Sintcs on any lerms or no terms

at all while the other half insist that the 'slanders are overwhelmingly opposed to ceding one inch of territory to our gov

ernment. and that nothing but the dmad

of punishment from

B.-vkz

prevents them

from giving unmistakable expression to their real feelings. Hoiv the proposed

commissioners are going to discover the

real state ofaflairs remains to be seen.— Thoy will probably return home with

majority and minority reports and leave

the real issue in as much uncertainty as is now. This annexation business al

ways was troublesome in all nations and in all place*.

There is a lively content in Michigan for the Senaiorship. It appears to be mainly between Senator I Iowatin. the present incumbent, and Hon. Austin

IjI.aiu,

2. lv

a member of the House, re-elect-

ed to the next Congress, and for two

terms Governor of the .State. In addition

to the other conceded qualifications of

the latter for the place, it is urged that

both Senators ought not to be taken

again from Detroit as at present, and Governor I3:.Aiit is undoubtedly the strongest man proposed from the interior. Hon. T. W. Ferry, who represents

ihe Grand Rapids District, and is a man of good abilities and standing, is also spo

ken af as a candidate. Present indications are favorable to Governor I'lair, but a vigorous effort will be made to reelect hfenator Howard.

Tiii: North Fole Expedition now being fitted out under the auspices of the Government, and intrusted to the command ofCaptain C. F. Hall, the well-known Artie explorer, and an honored citizen of Cincinnati, will sail next May from New London, Conn. Captain IIall will depart in a steam brig well fitted and strengthened for service among the bergs.

The Cincinnati Times says the crew

will be trained to live upon the country)

eat raw seal and walrus meat, and drink oil. No! withstanding the extreme rigors

of the Artie region the adventurous Cap

tain is.-anguine of advancing nearer to the

North Pole tbrui ever attained heretofore by any di.-covcrcr. Captain IIall is

thoroughly conversant with the Esquimaux language, which will greatly aid

him in hisr-carch for the missing pole.

The Chicago Port, accepting Macau-

gone by, at least so far as the most culti

vated modern nations are concerned, de

clares that the Coming Poet who will write as IIomhr wrote and who will rival both Milton* and Dakte, will be an

American Indian. He will write in

English, but "will know comparatively nothing of criticism and but little of lit-

erarv anatomy,'' and wili "not have his

diction hampered by modern prolixity.
