the rugged and worthless formation known
as the Bad Lands and the alumat boundless
realm of fertile villages aud uplands. The
valley of the Missouri, whore the Manitoba
railway enters the territory, bean every
evidence of fertility, and those who have

animouri in the onsernon that the country

At the junction of the Milk river with the
Missouri the railway times a slightly north-
erly course, followiug the fertile Milk riyer

Tne state of things iu Preece chauges so
rapidly that a weekly paper has no reason-
able chance in chronicling the facts and in
trying to foreshadow the issue. The condi-
tion has so changed before any remarks can
see the light that facts which were thought
important become very speedily of no
ignificance and specinations are discredited
even before they see the light It would
not be at all surprising any day to see Paris
in ievolution, and barricadee and bullets
playing their part, instead of buncombe
speeches and peaceful gesticulation. The
birds of night are seemingly coming out
from their hiding places,
and the kites, if
not the eagles, are hurrying for their anti.
ciliated meal to where they think it likely
the carcase will be found. Whether or not
the Republic may survive the crisis, it .
would be difficult to say. The shop keener
lass above all things love quiet, even
though it be the quiet which tyrant'.
gives. They may tancy that they can
better buy and sell under a master,
and may therefore take up with the
Count of Paris or the Bonapartist
Pretender. One would wish, howeven; to
htme better of France and Frenchmen than
this. The Spanish marriages and the mean
aharacter of much which eharaoterized his
reign, overturned Louis Philippe. The ex-
oessea of Irene and the follies of not a few
Republicans paved the way for Louis Na-
poleor, who in his turn tell by the dreadful
weight of his own rottenness. Now come
the scandals of the Legion of Honour and
multitudes ha their follies will say that the
Republican system is to blame, and will ory
for some new or old plan. It is the mere
matter of the toss up of a copper which
way it will go, and the only thing left is to
hope that the Republic after all will turn
up all right without the necessity of much
bloodshed or of the French having to under-
go the horrors of another despotism in their
journey to orderly liberty and stable free
institutions.
liventions and Tunnel -Digging.
Work upon the Mont Geniis Tunnel waa
begun in 1857, about two years before De
Leaseps commenced operatiowi in Egypt.
The working parties in tho opposite head-

day, 1870, about a year after the thaugur-
e.tion oi the Suez Canal. The St. Gothard.

By MO011a of water -power, air is reduced to
one-sixth it ordinary bulk, an:1 the expan- •

tunnelling is done, this method 15 of sigeal
advantage. Each of the Alpineeunnels wen

made the ventilation question a vital one.
Had the 'arab; been run by steam, the pron.

smoke and gas would have heated and viti-
