The London Inner Circle railroad is a marvelous feat of engineering skill, saysthe Philadelphia #ress. It runs throughout its entire distance under the busiest center of the largest city in the world, and the operations attem!. ing the excavation and construction have proceeded without serious injury in or interruption of business or traflic. Quicksands have been passed through, beds of old rivers spanned, lofty ware- houses and massive buildings secured while their foundations have been undermined, and an intricate network of gas and water pipes sustained until supports had been applied to them from below. Added to this, the six main sewers had _ several times to be reconstructed.

Every face in the surging crowd was adorned with a gen- erous grin, and a chorus of “Abs” greeted the rare and radiant maiden who was about to launch upon the un- certain sea of matrimony. _ The bride’s dress was of pale blue hi-long, trimmed with rare old toysh, while the pantaloons were of six full widths of yellow sigee. Her hair was dressed a ia Hong Song, there being no bangs of any description. Her charming little feet were half hidden in a bewitching pair of silk slippers With the heels knocked off This vis- ion of loveliness was carefully placed in a closed carriage and driven to the apartments of the bridegroom, who was wondering what sort of a compan- ion his relatives and friends had se- lected for him. There the scenes enacted on Morri- son street were repeated as the bride was hurried up another flicht of narrow stairs and disappeared from view, amid showers of rice and Papers. so A Shakspearean Sentence Explained. | en.
