The Tunne!l of Moot Bt. Gothard, the greatest engincering work of the kind ia the world, has just been finished. The vhjeet of it is to conncct the railroad eystem of Germany, Switzetland and Iraly, and its construction was ; ceemed necessary in order to offset the commercial advan. tages that were acquired by Fraece in the building of the Meat Ceuis tunnel, and Austria with ber road across the Semmer ing, which ara the connectivg raiiread links for those two countries with the same portion of Europe. The chief works of this kind in th-jworld are four'in cumber—- namely, the Hoosac ard Sutro turnels in the United States and thejabove mentioned. The Mont St. Gothard is the lougest of al', its length being more than eight miles ; the Sutro is the shortest, being less thaa four miler. Toe Hoosac tannel is 475 miles in length and the Mont Cenis about seven miles. All of thess great works have been constructed in the interest of trade and commerce, and with the Atlan iie Cable, the Pacific railroads, the Suez Caval and the Panama Cauzl, when it eball have been built, will be among the great industrial monuments of the century. If'the tunoel between France and England is ever. built, it will, of course, surpass anything of the kind ever attempted. Our own’ lé)fl‘h'_River work, if pushed to completion; will hold po insigmficant plage, beside the works we have mea tiooed, nmor ia such; an epumeration should our great bridges, like those of St. Louis, Niagara Falls aod Brooklyn, be lorgotton.'%’i) works of practical utility more bgs been accomplished in the uive teénthi eentury than perhaps in all the ceuturies jthat have preceded it.—N. Y. Herald, quoted in the St. Thomas Times. s S - THE JEWS IN GERMANY. ARI - Sy : wnfilmoh von - Treitschke, the *Mhuton;u. politician and SL wum«mmm exigts ia bis country a ¢ Jewish question.” In the last number but one of the Preus sicke Jahrbucher of which he is the editor he conciudes a most janteresting paper on the prospects of Germuny with a troneh ant attack en the German Jews, aud this attack he justifies Yand develops in the current namber of the same periodical. The position which he takes up is as follows: Germaoy is a newly formed couttry, and though in Prussia it has fouud a strong and comparstively oid State to serve as nuec'aus or leaven to the whoie,Zhe moral unificatiou of the peonle cannot be said to be yet completed. Buth the iuternal stats of the coantry, in face of tL2 socialism of the artisan clsss, and its extorua! policy, in view o' the two dsngors wiiich meoucs it from the east and from the weset, m.Ke the firmest uoten mora! ad bome indianensable. Now there are sever reasons, he argues, wiy the Jew, horviless avd even useful, in some countilvs—is 8 source us duncer to Germavy. The ficst i 3 thal the Jews are mueed more vumercus there than in aay otaer countries of tha west. In 1871 thers wore iy Spain 6200 Jews ; in Italy, 40,000 ; in Frauce, 45,200 in Great Britaio, 45,000 ; in Germany, 512.000. The rata at wnicu they have ncreased during the pressat conovty s very wstriking. In 1816 there w..c Prussia 124 900 Jews ; in 1546 there wers 215.000; ia 1875 thera wero rgarly 340.000. Notwithstaudivg 3000 couver #ious to Chejstianily. “the nrunortion ol rJdews to thy” whols boly of intabi tants in Prussin rose between 1815 and 1946 from lin 83 to 1 1675, At Beilin there was in 1816 1 Jew (o evgrv 69 inaabitaots ; in 1846, 1 in every 49 ; 1 1871, 1 in every 25, and now there is probably 1 in every 20. Nor do thesa fignres give any adequete notion of their influence. T'ue w.crag >of wealth » mong tkem is verv higu, and the aver. e of education among them is still more remark. able. In 1875 the proportica ¢t Jews in the Prusian Gymnasien wus 11 9.5, and in the Realschulea of the drsc-class, 1 1u 10.26. It is notorious that quite & Jispro portionate number of Jews are mambers of the learned protessions, and that tha press in Germany is almost wholly in their hands.— Saturday Review quoted ta the St. Tl.omas Tines. s s§() § e The Roman correspondent of the Globe states that Socialiem has its ageots in Ituly us well a8 in Germany, Fraoce, and Russia. Tae Ris orgimento of Turin relates that on the night of the 19th the streets of that industrious and loyal city were covered with notices of the Inreruationalist Society. In Vie Rotero, cn the walls ot the Cliucch of the* Martyrs, was written, ¢ Brothers work not oo the festival for a great tem pest must burst.”” In Via Morte di Picta, on the wail of the Church of Saen Tom masn, was iescribed, * Death to kiogs aud priests;;” ¢Death to kings ard to the gentry’® was written on the corver ot Via San Maurizio, Opposite tha shup of Boe coni was “Viva Passanante,” aud *“Viva la Republice” was written on the corper of the appeal Court. Count Alexis Wara towski, member of the Hungsrian Parlia. ment, and travelling in Icaly for his pleasure, wss robbed of bis haad-bag, coutaining a large sum of money, at the Verona Railway Station. The thief was discovered. He was walking on the platiorm, and findiog the deor of a first cluss cariiage opep, eutered tbe emp'y compartment aand found the hand-Yag under the cushion.
