A tunnel Ii talked about between Spain and Africa under the BtrallM of Gibraltar, It would be about fifteen miles in length, Thin with the tunnel between Dorer and Calai*, which la seriously contemplated, would give an uninterrupted railroad route from England to Tangier of aboul 1,200 miles in icngtli. The prevailing idea that the Aucricai race in deteriorating in not supported In fact*. Statistic* prove the very opposite Tho result of careful investigation in Boa ton public schools shows that the cliil of American parents aro taller, heavici and healthier than the children of foreigr parents of tho same age. Til* Estimates for the aupport of tht army for the prcnent fiscal year have beer prepared bjr the War department ant *ent (o the Treasury department, whicl; will transmit tliem to Congress at the extra accaion. These aro tho only estimates to bo sent in. Tho President^ meraago and accompanying documenti will relatffonly to the businca. for whicL Congreas la eapecially convened and nol to subjects of general legiaiatiou. It ii thought, therefore, that the me??age Jwill be brief. He v. Patrick Leonard, of Newark, N. J., ia on hie high horae about the pub? lie schools, and threatens to make ar? rangements to prevent tho salvation of all Catholics in his vicinity who drink ir knowledge from the free fountains ol learning. Tho Rev. Patrick wishes hie people to understand that hois in earnest, and will aee that Heaven has its venge ance ready for nil disobedient Catholics, lie hinted in his warning, the other night, that the Democrat* ol New Jersey would help him mange thews matters. The Sunday question in being hotly discussed in Philadelphia in consequence of the Sunday opening of the Permanent Exhibition. The Presbyterinn Ministerial Association have taken strong ground of opposition against tho action of the Exhibition Hoard of Managers. In an interview with the Mayor, ho informed Mr. MacLaughin that he was in favor ol tho Sunday laws, but the legal mind of the city was largely divided on the subject, The general public appear to approve the action of the board, us the attendance in much larger on Sunday than other dnys It has occasioned much surprise to Sab batarians that, with tho exception of th* Presbyterian Board of Publication, onlj three or four exhibits have been with drawn in consequence of the Sunda} opening. It is rather singular that the business ot preserving ami canning Iruits and veg etableB should be con lined almost exclusively to tho Eastern and Middle States In the Western States this important in dustry is entirely neglected, and conse quently the annual Iosb must be enorm ?>Ui?, owing to the perishable nature o many Jgarden and farm products. Th( means and appliances,for the preservatior of the fruits and vegetables incapable o consumption during tho brief season o their natural state, suggests the propriety ami importance of extending thin indus try. The art of preserving food of thil kind has now reached a degree of pcrfec tiou that renders possible tho luxury o summer fruits and vegetables in midwin tor, with llavor and freehnesB but littli inferior to the seasonable Plate, and thii boon on tho score of health alone is wor thy of important consideration. There is no reason to suppose that this iiupor business might not be followed in the West with profit to the farmers and bene lit to the pulie. Khom Texas.?Last week we noted th< emigration of two families to Texas fron this county, and this week wo note th< return of Messrs. John Trentor and Johr W. Bush, who went to Texas last spring accompanied by several others whose names wo did not learn, who landed it this place Friday last, thoroughly convinced that Texas is not the place foi West Virginians. They feel they would be far better off had tlley taken the ad vice published in tho Reporter prior tc their departure for the west. Other) would come back to the productive hilh of Marshall county had they the funds.? Moundstills Reporter. The experience of these people is not a! all peculiar or uncommon. Wo related some months ago the personal observations of an old resident of Brooke county made after a sojourn of many months ir Texas, and, as will be remembered, they corresponded exactly with the observa vations of these Marshall county people We do not wish to be understood as saying that an immigraut cannot do well in Texas, or any other State, provided he is well equipped when ho goes therewith the necessary means, and hasjtho prudence and energy to turn them to good account. What wo do say ia simply that people who can do well in a new country can, as a rule, do better in an old State like West Virginia, where the land is cheap and the climate mild and healthful. There may bo some people who make it a point to turn over a new leaf when they go away from their old homes, and become industrious and economical, but an a rule the characteristics of an immigrant do not change simply because he changes his location. If he is lazy and thriftless in West Virginia he is not likely to be otherwise in Texas. If he is a hard worker and & clone saver here he is almost sure to get well oil* in a few years, and in the process of doing so enjoys, as a rule, better health and better social and educational advantages than in moat now regions. There are tens of thousands of acres ol cheap land in West Virginia that invite immigration, and that sooner or later are bound to be thickly populated by people from tho East aud North. We refer to r\.n....... Braxton, Upshur, Webster and Pocahontas. If tho largo holders of these land* would tako more pains to place them before the public they could sell ten acres where they now sell one by mere chance as it were. The recent letters to parties hereabout show that there are many people in tho North who look with favor uponjthe latitude of West Virginia, and who would like to make their homes within our boundariee,but they are without any information in regard to the soil, prod uc to and general agricultural characteristics of tho titate. What wonder so few of them erer come into our midst ] What wonder our development Is to slow I How Woul<l It Do For Wheel lug? T1 Tho dram-reglatering law of Virginia went into efl'ect last Monday. It providea for Max of two and a half oents on every B?' drink nold in bar-roomi. The bell-punch, V or register, whlcli dealers are compelled flr to use, is a plain apparatus about the oti nir.e of a small cigar box, with a gas-meter |fi dial on the front, and a crank in the rear, jJI' Inside is the necessary machinery to fefc- ^ i istcr each drink, and a gong which, with , each revolution of thecrank, gives notice nf , of tho fact. There is no pugch'atyout it. I that idea having originated from its ilm- CJ . ilaritv to the car bcll-nnnnli. It ii cati , , ? r' * - ? vi [ mated tbat in Richmond alone (he m L amount of revenue to bo derived froiu it etl will exceed $176,000 per annum, and tf nc anything like the expectations of the pro* ^ i jectors of the register aro realized, it will ta r bring the State treasury $750,000 a year. vi It seems to us that if this machine will tli put $176,000 into tho public treasury from the proceeds of driuka in Richmond ?j r alone, it would bo a good machine to in* in 1 troduco in "Wheeling. Suppose we had it in operation in our midst, behold what } a rtfvenue it would bring into tho city fjj ( treaiurjr. Wheeling has at least one- a< I third as many drinkerB as Kichnlond, and of t ought therefore to receive over $50,000 J? } revenue from the use of the same machine. w' She now gets only a little more than half tu this amount from the retail trade in liquor. For instance, she got onljr $27,- uj 141 last year from coll'ee houses and ordiJ narie*, whereas ?ho might easily get from jJ t the introduction of the Virginia register- ,r I ing machino at least $60,000. Wo com- be mend tho idea to the favorable oonaidera- ^ tion of tho City Council. 1" ' Tiie late Bankers' Coitvewtion.?At flJ the recent Bankers' Convention holed in ?Q New York much of tho time waa conau- Da mod in discussions upon the question of bi j resumption; bat the speakers mostly Jjj | failed to appreciate the true situation. p( They enlarged upon tho benefits that 1 would follow upon a ro-establishmont of al specio payments, and grew enthusiastic b? in tho praises of coin. One thing, how1 ever, Heemed to escape them. Granting [j, that it is excellent and desirable that tho tli legaltenders Bhali be made redeemable m r in gold upon presentation, it remains to T1 i be shown how this end i*,in the present s t condition of afl'uirs, to be attained, n There i8 not, nor is there likely to be for I years to come, enough gold in the Tress1 ury to meet the notes outstanding. And tti ' what is tho government going to do about fe ^ it? To resume upon the presumption s< that tho people will not want to redeem the Treasury notes whon the opportunity th , is offered them, would bo worse than idle. c' i Yet that is the idea of those whoso wish is . father to tho thought that tho country is . yet ready for tho embodiment of tho xes; umption scheme. Trying to carry a great- h? ' erload than our strength will bear is a ,c; . suicidal policy. ** iir-uijAint, uuv/aui.?jlwv. iur. uasiun, (], of the Presbyterian Church, who a few tli i days since returned from Europe, deliv- M ered a very highly interesting lecture to In a congregation Wednesday evening last, li1 upon his recent tour to Scotland, whencp S? he went to attend the Presbyterian Coun- l'' cii. ?
