Mr. William Wallace, au engineer long inter- ested in the proposed tunuel undur tha Niegara River, has just completed a prefiminazy survey, of which the following pasticulars aro given: *“On the American shore of the river, the point of departuro now chosen by Mr. Wallace for the propoted tunnel, is ou tho westerly side of the Erie Canal, midway between the canal and the Niagara Fallg branch of the New York Cen- tral Iroad, near the bridge. over wiuch the Jaztor crosecs tho canal, which is almost under the beights of Fort Porter. -The thorough-cut oropen cut which is to give entrance to the tun- nel extends from that point straight up between the canal and tbe Niagara Fullsroad to a point near the foot of Virginia sircet. where it attsins the surface, and the grade—e0 foct to the mile— is continued until a_sufiicient elovation m at- tained for the erossing of the canal, at the foot of Court street, to reach the terrace. *¢At its other extremity the proposed tunnel rtrikes the Cazadiar ehore and becomes open to daylight near the spot where tho old engine- nouse of the B. & L. 1. Railroad siood. Thence a thorough-cat curves northward to avoid the Ligh ground, aud brings the roadwar of the tua- nel to'the surface in the vicinity of the Ep pul Chureh at Fort Erie, near which an ad weous junction can b made with tho Cauada Southern Railway. i “he length of the tunnel proper on tlre line proposed would be only 2,149 feet. Tha length of the thorough-cut on the American xhle would be about 4,400 fect, and on the Canadiau side a littlo over 4,000 fect. TIu the tunvel proper, as- suming ft to be 30 feet wide by 20 feet high, the excayation would swount to 65,333 cubic yards. In the thorough-cuts the excav: amount to 126,593 cubic yards. on the Americen side, and 118,317 cubic yards on the Canadinn side. Iiow much of tho excavstiou in the thor- ough-cuts would be_rock, and how much earth, ‘can ovly beascertained by means of testpits. *'These quantities will” enable those who have Lkunowledge of euch work to form a notion for themseives of the cast of the proposed under- taking. Mr. Wallace makes no estimate, be- cause eote of the elements of ‘an accurate cal- culation are wanéing. But many peoplo wbose Judgmient e weh-founded express tio_opiuion confidently that the proposed tunnel aught to be bailt at & cost poi much exceeding a million of doliars. Alr, Wallsce, in_his plzn, adopts grade of G0 feet to the mile each way from the middlo of the tunnel, and atthe decpest point of the river the roof of the tunnel is about 16 feet. below the river-bed.” Loujsiana Governors.

Do men never think how deeply their cruel jests thrown out against the mother-iu-law somo- times sink iuto a loving motaer’s heart? Have men any right thus to trample on the holiest love on earth,—the love of a mother for her child? Why do we never hear of the father-in- law? Does the fathor always reserve 8 right to his child which the mosher does nnt ? But we will look on the other side of the pic- ture, and iwagine a medel son-in-law.

Once upon a time, some human owl remarked that the trouble with the young people of to- day was, that thoy wanted to begin the world where their Yathers and mothers left off. That remark waa considered classic, and immediately became a stendard guotation with all the old fogies. . The popularity of the obser- vation must be due to that curious but well-koown trait of human npature which 1ndaces us to admire a commonplace enunciation of a heretoforo unexpreased bnt universal senti- ment, rather than the uiterance of feclings or beliefs peculiar tos few souls.

A maa of to-day, who thinks, or works, or feels, like & man of yosterday, is & cumberer of the ground.

The dissatisfied father wonders why it is that a coliege-educa- tion cannct help a man along. At his son's age he was supporting himself, o wife, and two or three little ones; yet here is his son, who can only partially support himself, e had given his son everything for the lack of which he himeeif had suffered; and iet, after all, his son is not_so independent as he wus as the same age, Then Lo falls back ou the old saving that the young people nowadays wish to begin lifein the snme etvle and easetheir parents are ending it.

Mr. friend, Dr. Malmstroem, kad promised me an introduction to the morganatic wife of bis Iato Majesty, King Fredenc the Seventh of Den- mark, and for that purpose, presented me, at our hotel,—the Hotel do. Nil,—at Cairo, to the said King's ox-Chamberiain, Mr. Berling, the traveling companion of the lady. Having heard ayood deal of Mr. Berling’s romantic career, I was surprised to find 1a him a very quict, scdate old gontleman, whose only object in life seemed 1o be tranquility. Ho received me very courteously, and, as the Countess Danner approached our seat in the garden during our couversation, he took the op- portunity and introduced mo to that lady. Every- body has beard of ber, I suppose, and wondered how, in our civilized days, a single girl, appren- tice in & millmery establishment, could rise to be the wife of the King of one of the most aavanced countria. At the time of our meeting, in the winter of 1670-'71, she was about 45 to 48 years of uge ; ratbor inclined to ewbonpoint; of very graceful bearing, deinotivg the well-bred lady in evory gesture, Aiter some conversation, I was bhonored iith an iavitation to an escarsion to the Pyramids and Sphinx, which I gladly accepted. Among the Countess’ suite was a D'avish Baron, an anthor of some repute in bis country, Mr. ds Ramoer, whom I had previously mot at Athens, during my travels. He kindly connented Lo scquaint mo with the entire history of the King's love, which I now give here, secing that: the principals to the story are all three dead : Miss Rassmussen wss thie neme of the girl fated to rise [ar above ber position. and her em- ployment at & tender age was' varied. She was engaged as a ballet-aancer at the Royal Tbeatre at Copenhagen for some time; .but, not having been succossful in bher deout, she lsft the stage, and turned her attention to dress-and-bon- not-making. She made, .t that time, the acquaintance of one Berling, & printer’s appren- tic, and they swore each ther etorual love. She broke that osth, but never forgot er lova. They both worked bravely in order to save sufficient for starting a household, when, one wintry after- D00, thero broko out a fire in the establishment whore Miss Rassmussen worked. She was tho second story of the house, and, the flamds having made terrible headsway. thero seemed to be no coance of hor life being saved. N ladder was near, and every ono- groaned in despair ; when, suddeuly, there darted through tho throng of people two young men, each rushing into the house and up the burning stair- way. One came back slmost nmediately, nearly suffocated oy the smoke, and gave up the task in despair. It was youug Berling, the girl's sweat- beart. Who was the- other young man that risked his life thus courageously to kave another thac only a few_ had noticed? 1t was their King,—tlio young, impetuous Kiog of Denmark, Fredoric tho Seventh. After the lapse of a fow minutes, speut by the multitude in- breathless expectation to see the shaking building cave in and bury its inmates, the_ 2 ppeazed on the threshold, with the seemingly-lifeless body of the girl in bis arms, and, not noticing the tro- mendous cheers of the people, carmied.hor across the streot into a placs of eafety, ‘and) had her cared for. Miss Rossmussen.was sick for sev- eral weeks, and the King called on ler several times and learned to love her. But ho was & man of honor, and, knowing that he was wuot froe, he wished to ‘evade the danger of seeing ber oftener, and_proposed to her a course of education at Paris, at the end of which he would provide for her in a suitublo maomer. The proposition was_gratefully accopted, sud. after taiing leave of Berling, she set out with a lady- chaperon whem the Kinz had provided. Miss Rasemussen ntaid in Paris, making ex- collent use of hor time, as her after-life has proved sufficiently, uotil.the King, being free to dispose of himself ¢ will, wrote to her, offering bis hand and heart, sgainst. the, wish of tho en- tire aristocracy ands i;oynl family of Denmark. The struggle she may havo foight is only known to hersolf ; Lut this much we know: that, upon her writing to Berling of the King's proposal, he replied immediscely, that he returncd to her the vow she had made him, as he would forges Lis.pain in the glory and happinesa of his darling. Thon she kentau scceptance to the King, who thereupon elevated her to the rank of a Countess of the Kingdom, with the name Danner, and married her. Their mamied life was extremely bappy, and only marred by the estrangement of the ultra-foudal’ blood, who could uot be reconciled to attend the Court of the parvenu Queen. The hatred of ihe Royal family shows ateelf best in a telegram, which the present King sen: to the Cduutesson the day of the lala King's death. The moment after tho demive, tho Countess telo- graphed to the berr of the shrome: ‘Sa Majeste est morle: que dois-je faire?” to whi she received tle following unfoeling reply : 4 Tout ce que vous vouley, Madame.” After the death of the King, who had not only shown his love to the Countess by lavishing fortunes ugon her, but also by aiding in mavy Wwaya her ci-devant swain, Mr. Derling, by assist- ing bhim to start a paper, which. through the Tioyal patrouage, 800n beeame the firet paper in the State, and is so now,—the Lerling's Ke Tidende,—and also appointing him a the King's Chamberlain, the Countess leit her home to aart for travels all over the universe, alwags sccom- patied by 3Ir.

The Countess rhowed Lerself extremely Lrave, by going tbrough the eutire Pyramids ; and those who have been thero will ackiiowledze that. Mr. Berling was troubled greatly with spasms, and we Lad toswop often to give hi timo to recover bis preath; but be insisted on going wherever tho Countoss went. On oar re- turn, we tried to mzie tha donkeys race, which occasioned many s downfall, wheroupon the Countess remarked that, *“Chi va piano, non solumente va 8200, ma encho lontano.” Beveral days later I was at the Hotel de 'Earope, at Ismatlia, on the Suez Canal, and was taking breakfast, when the Countess entered with her sute, and, after salutations exchanged, pro- ceeded to give orders for somethiuy to eat. When the waiter turned to Mr. Berling to aek for his_order, the latter gentleman, who had been quictly conversing with some one, said, “ Donnez mioi du poulel.” The waiter did not seem to understand, and asked again ; whereup- on Mr. Lerling, bending his Liead forward a fit- tle, opened hus mouth, but only vitered, ** Du pou—,” whea he fell forward ou the floor.
