The cities of Chieago and Cleveland are cach supplied with water through tun- nels extending out into a lake. The first Chicago tunnel is 5 feet in dinme- h? nd 10,567 feet lon The second tunnel is 7 feet in dinmeter and 31,490 feet long. The Cleveland tunnel is only b feet in diameter and 6,661 feet long. All of these tunnels were laid in comparatively soft materials, The Bal- timore water snpply includes a rock tun- nel 12 feet in diamoter and 7 miles long, andislined with brickwork for about two miles. The old Roman aqueducts were several of them longer than the Croton aqueduet, but they were all very small and were merely masonry conduits a few feet in diameter. The Liverpool water supply is conveyed by an ncaue- duct about twice as long as the Croton acqueduct, but it is mainly a surface acqueduct, there being only a little tunnel work, A portion of the acque- duct 15 merely a pipe line. The supply is from w reservoir formed, like that at Croton or at Sodom, by building a dam across a narrow gorge in a valley among the mountains in Wales, The dam is larger thau that at Sodom, being 136 fcet high, while that at Sodom is only seventy-eight feet., Com- pared with the propused dam it will be small, us the new wam is to he over two hundred feet hign, and will be the highest dam in the world.

You see there was an old Dutchman who lived down near the Roanoke and who had his eyes on a fine picce of proporty for some time Some one knowing him to be a red-hot republi can told Billy Mahone that he couldn’t do better than send the old fellow some money to use in buying votes. Well, Mahone wrote to the Dutchman, and gotting a satisfactory answer ex- pressed him $1,200. AS the old fellow was earrying the money home the owner of the property joined him, and after a little conversation offered to seil the land for $1,600. The old Dutchman jumped at the offer, and unwrapping the money handed the $1.200 over to bind the bargain, and then -muaking haste to the telegraph office sent word that it would take $300 more to make the county solidly republican, which amount was immediately forthcoming. This sum followed the other, and though no one could be found who would confess aftor the election that he had voted the republican ticket, vet the old Dutchwan had his farm, and at last accounts was doing hLis winter plowing on it.” Ea e e The Bechtele has been remodeled and re- fitted and name changed to Hotel Jameson. e C.

But he soon went to the house, when his sows came up. One tumbted over dead, and then another, and another, and the fourth becamo very sick, but recovered. Upon examination he discovered that they had been bitten by a snake on the nose, and one of them in the tongue, A man working for Mr. Walker went into the swamp, found the snake and killed It was u five-foot rattler.

At the proper time the squaws went to the corn field, which had been cleaned and cultivated from time im- memorial and prepared the groud with “nigger hocs,” those heavy, striking hoes with a pole or socket for the handle in which they had inserted a handle not over three feet in length, requiring the squaw to "“’"\’ or squatas she worked. With this implement they dug round holes about three feetin diametor and about three feet decp, then passing the excavated earth through their hands, rubbing and | erushing itas fine as flour, it was turned to the pit, more than filling it, the excess being rounded into a hill or mound, in which the seed corn was car fully planted and tended till it was big enough to take care of itself, The indians then left the camp and awoy for their annual hunt, leaving only a few of the old and decrepit who were unable to make the journey, and for whose support in the absence of the tribe no provision whatover was made, not even so much as atepec was left them. The old and decrepit had tv make shelter of bushes and bark and provide for themselves. The tribe went a long distance away and were gone till the corn came into the milk and was fit to roast and eat, a period they scemed to know by in- tution, for they ne failed te return the first day it was fit to eat. These pits » always dug in the same places, the ounding ground being left un- touched. The crop never failed to be a good one, though o enrichment of the soil was attempt; When the Indian left and the white man took the ground he found the old Indian cornfields the best and most productive land. There was one exception to vhe rule that the squaw did all the work. It was in chopping trees. The noble war- rior took his ax and cut kerfs on op- posite sides of the tree he intended to ell. He never cut so it would fail at once, but let the winds complete bis work, - Lofoten, in Norway, is the principal fishing district of that country.
