Ob a stroll throUglTthe western por tion of Cleveland my mind was di rected toward the tunnel which is now being constructed under Lake Erie, for the purpose of supplying the city with a purer article of water than is now obtained from the muddy por tion of the lake contiguous to the shore. After conversing awhile with the superintendent of the contract, I en quired if it was permissable for a stranger to visit the tunnel, to which he replied that it usually was not ; but that if I desired to go down he would accompany me in person and show me through. He took a torch lamp in his hand, ordered up the carriage on which Ave stepped and descended seventy-eight feet below the surface of terra Jinna into the dark regions below, reminding me of the many les sons I had heard in my younger days respecting the dismal and dangerous abode of the unrighteous TUNNEL. As Ave landed from the carriage I cast my eyes toward the end of the work Avhere the laborers are engaged, and as if miles in the distance beheld only a glimmering lightas of a single candle, although the lights were from the torches of all the workmen. The shaf. is constructed with brick and cast iron "Avails, whilst the tunnel is surrounded Avith a circular wall eight inches thick and five feet in di ameter. The digger gets twenty-fi-e cents and the bricklayer fifty cents per hour, and work day and night calling eight hours a days work. No accidents have yet happened to the injury ofany 'fihifaKHough dari-1 ' 1 ? ' i . grajBaY-aocionaiiytiuretena now reached completion fourteen hundred feet, and when finished is to be one and a quarter miles in length, reaching out to the clear blue waters. Once since the work commenced the water and sand broke in upon them as from a spring in a sand pocket be neath the tunnel, but which was stopped without much damage except deay aud a little extra labor. THE CRIB. This is a, ponderous wooden struc ture, forty-seven feet in height and ejghty feet in diameter. It was built on land, safely launched into the river likea boat, and is to be towed out to its intended position, which creates suffi cient interest Jo induce excursionists to employ steamers to accompany the floating monster. When located it will be lilled with water xmd stone, and thereby.settled to the bottom. In its central opening tubular iron castings will be sunk, creating a shaft or well about eighty feet in depth, where they will com mence tunnelling to meet the compa ny -working from the shore. The clay will be thrown around the crib, thereby creating an artificial island upon which a dwelling and light house will be erected OVER THE LAKE. The city is now furnished with wa ter from the lake by steam power, which it throws up through a tower one hundred and seventy feet in height, over ten thousand barrels of water per day. The water goes up through one pipe, falls into another at the top of the tower, which forces it into the reservoir about a half mile distant. After acquiring much practical in formation on the subject of water supply, I commenced the ascent of the stairs which winds closely around the forcing pipe to the top of the tow er. Here is obtained a magnificent view of the lake, the waters of which were about two hundred feet below where I was comfortably standing, from which position a beautiful view was had of the entire city and its sur roundings of mauufactories, farms, and places artistically arranged for the amusements requisite for the citizen and stranger. THE RESERVOIR Occupies &bout an acre of ground, and is an artificial mound fifty feet high around the basin, into the cen tre of which a column of water is constantly thrown about three feet in diameter. The water is uncovered and exposed to the sun, butprotected byafence'enclosingtheentire ground, which to a great extent prevents in truders, .from getting in at any other time than during the day. It is also located in the midst of a densely set tled portion of the city, sodded with blue grass and set with evergreens. WAW-KO.

A peasant generally goes out in search of his trail, and having found it, goes in a ring some miles in cir cumference, to make sure of having him in it, he contracts his cir cle, till he comes to the retreat of the animal. Weeks are sometimes spent in this search; the peasantry are summoned to a skall by the landshof oding or Governor of the province, and put under the direction of the jogmostare, or ranger of the district, who marshals thiviMjd--ceni mauds tlieir movementsTrle "peaiaats are generally formed incirotes and cowi. armi'd with whatever weapon they .can procure. Though opposed singly to a whole host ,the bear often spreads havdc among his assaiiants. Every ball that enters his huge carcass, but adds fire to his fury, and woe to the individual who his wrath has singled out. It ceases to be a mere passtime, and nothing but the greatest self-possession can save hfm from a miserable death. While at Haruosand I saw a representation of an event that took place at a skall in that neighborhood, in 1831, and shows, that bear-hunting mut be quite equal to tiger-hunting in excitement and peril. The bear on this occasion was very large ; nothing like an American bear, with which an Indian can grapple, but an enor mous beast able to carry off a pony under his arm. His temper, probably never very good had been ruffled, by ten shots lodged in different parts of his body, all present entrenched them selves, and awaited some desperate effort on his part, should not a lucky shot give him his quietus. At this moment a man, bolder than his com panions, advancing before them, the bear rushed upon him, tore the gun from his hands, and began to wound him with his tremendious claws. The wretched man was unable to contend with his muscular antagonist; already his wounds were letting out his life, when a youn g Norrlander, unable to look quietly on rushed to his assis tance. Besides the danger which he, himself, incurred, and which, of course, he had no feeling of, there was some danger of shooting the bear without hitting the man. As he ad vanced the bear rose on its hind legs to meet its new opponent ; his victim droDned before him : the Norrlander seized the favorable opportunity, rais his gun with both arms high above his head, to bring it in a horrizontal nosition on a level with the bear's, and trusting more to feeling than to sight, discharged his piece. An im mediate death wound could alone save either from their enemy. The success which the brave man deserved atten ded him, and the ball passed through the brain of the bear, which fell dead on the rescued man. REALITIES OP A BATTLE. The sights and sounds of a battle are well-nigh indescribable. Noise, tumult, danger and excitement all blended together make a scene which I think can have no parallel on eith er side of the infernal regions. Dur ing his first battle, perhaps, the nov elty of the thing may fill the recruit with genuine enthusiasm, atid put fear in the background ; but, after that, he will find the poetry of the battlefield somewhat overdone in "Hohenlinden," and fighting itself rather a prosaic and dangerous butch ery. There is nothing less like a pageant, I verily believe, than a bat tle field, The arms are not polished and shinning now, for the dew of the night's bivaoc in the grass has tarn ished them; very plain blouses have taken the places of straight-bodied corsety jackets; belts are loos ened, or, in the fury of the fight are thrown away altogether; shoulder straps and epaulets are discarded, out of wholesome regard for the enemy's sharp-shooters, and after the light has progressed an hour, you will find those who are still fighting dirty, grimy, laboring to kill the enemy, with about as hard manual labor as your wood-sawer employs on your wood pile: "And like smiths at their forges Labored the redSU George's cannoners.'

"There's good 'slaying' out here this season," said an old frontiersman as he scalped his fifteenth Indian. General Custar has let his locks grow until they are very long. The Indians are very anxious to get his waterfall. A Chicago paper says there are 20, 000 men out of employment in that city. Stealing is evidently not con sidered employment there. Nasby visited a suspender factory at Waterbury, Conn., and said to thu proprietor on leaving: "What a mis fortune it would be if pants should go out of fashion." A little boy having broken his rock ing horse the day it was bought, the mother began to scold, when he si lenced her by inquiring: "What's the use of a horse until it's broken?" The Chinese thus discribc a trial in the English law courts: "One man is quite silent, another talks all the time, and twelve wise men condemn the man who has not said a word."

"Patrick" said a priest to an Irish man, "how much hay did you steal ?" "Well," replied Pat, "I may as well confess to your reverence for the whole stack, for my wife and I are going to take the rest the first dark night."

No sooner does the disappointment come than the mere expectation of growing thinner gives me such joy that I he come fatter than even" The 'Gloucester Telegraph states that a fish dealer ordered a box of haddock from Boston, and it came marked C.

We might have thought it absurd if Dr. Livingston naa written tnree years ago, that he had found a tribe in Africa that dressed as follows : The Dayous are beautiful women, with exquisite complexion and fine forms, and they dress iu the niost per fect taste. They wear short dresses reaching to the ankle. Upon the forehead is placed a small hat, the front of which rests upon the nose, they take large bags of hair and wool saturate them with butter, and hang them on the back of the head, cover ing the neck. Upon, the small of the back they tie a bunch of cotton cloth, colored and cut into strips. Their shoes are beauties, Loming to a point at the toe, and having a sharp point ed heel placed in the middle of the foot. This makes the foot very small in anpearance, and the wearer would tip over forward but for the bags on the head and back. Each woman, when she goes out carries a large plaintain leal to keep oil tue sun, which she holds by the stem, between the thumb and fore finger, crooking her elbow from her body at an angle of ninety. The effect is more beauti ful than you can imagine! The gait of the women is particularly admira ble. The heavy ones have difficulty in keeping their balance, but the light ones pick their way along as prettily as hens walk over hot ashes". 1'oung girls go barefooted for some years. ner tney become or. age to put on their own shoes they suffer with lameness and sore feet; after that their feet become permanently deformed, and they have no more pain. Walking is, however not a fa vorite practice with th'em, and ruii niug is Impdssible. The government of the Dayous is really democratic, the rnler being chosen annually by a vote of the people, but it is said the womeDdo not want to vote All they care for is plenty of hair and little shoes. The men are satished with this dlvisioa and. the State is quite; prosperous, though the society is rather vulgar and unintellcctual.

The Paris Journal of a recentr date gives the following marvelous account of the new French engine of war re ferred to in our dispatches under the name of "Mituailleur:" "Two mouths ago, about, people began to talk of enginesofwarnotyet numeu or mo commander C M . These, if we are t,o belieye tho reportof one who witnessed recent experiments with them, constitute something miraculous in destructive inventions. Their extreme range is, 3,000 yards, only, which Is the mean range of themitrailleursy their elder sisters; but these new and formidable inventions surpassed them in massa crcing power as much as the mitrail Ieurs themselves surpassed everything which has precccded them. At 2,500 yards th& effect of these engines, which havo been temporarily, baptiz ed "r.ES VTTXJPfi Titt rmnr.( vni x-t n -it is so terriblo, so certain, that a single regiment, we are told, could -force its way with them from the frontier fo Berlin, sowing death and' terror' be fore it. '.'' t ...This arm was invented two .years ago, and experiments with the first motile we're made with the greatest secrecy at Vincennes and Mendon. To proent spies obtaining informa tion, or getting a glimpse of the gun, or rather mitrailleur, a cordon of troops surrounded the place where tho experiments were being carried on, out of view of the inventor and the gentlemen forming the commission appointed by the Emperor to test the merits of the arm, with orders to al low no one to pass. The arm when approved was manufactured in the Vosges, thesamcsurveiliance and cau tion being observed. As soon as tho gUns were ready they were packed in boxes, which were sealed and sent to the various arsenals. . No instructions were given in its use till three weeks ago, when four men in each regiment were conducted secretly to a conven ient spot and taught how to ma ccuvre it. A gentleman, now in this cityt who had a relative employed on the commission above referred, "State that all ho would vouchsafe to divulgo on the subject of the arm in that it is on tho Gatlin principle of small cali bre, and fs used to repel like moun tain howitzers, it has no carriage and ds carried by tvo men, who hold it wneu nrcu, mere deing little or no re coil. This arm must notbe confound ed with the ordinary mitrailleur or GntHn gun, which is mounted on a carriage, t or mrst it be supposed that it possessed equal powers of destruc tion. lulcxhe former can bo used by placing it on the sides of a square, or at intervals along a cdlumu, to re pel cavalry or mi advance In, colum, the latter can be used as a field, bat tery, and with deadly effect." . Tho range, too, of the two engines of war is different. Our sphinx has only a range, as will have been observed, of 3,000 yards, -while the mitrailleur. .propremcnl dite can be used at from 4 " l tr j-"A ."1 rt ? - .sw .oo,uwyarH. to give an idea, fcowevcrijefhe deadly execution-of th.vwrsMtrHiifiir wq may cito -tho resale of acpyj w tits made with it at Sat'ory a'slinaTtline back. Three hun dred old cavalry horses were packed in a field a distance of-1,200 merits from the gun, and thre minutes after the other had been given to "turn tho coffee mill" not one remained stand ing. The- next day the experiment was repeated under battle auspices, as the gunner had been drilled to prefec tion in the use of the arm. Five hun dred rosscs were this time operated on J arid in 90 seconds they' Were- lying ueau uii uiu uuiu. Another authority gives tho follow ing description pf the new' arm; "It is a light 37-barreIed' gurf, ar ranged that its barrels lnay be dis charged simultaneously or consecu tively. The thirty-seventh cartridges, intended for one charge, are contain ed in a small box. A steel plate, with corresponding holes', is placed on 'the open box, which is then reversed, and the catridge, full point foremost into their respective holes. The loaded Elate is then introduced 'into the reech slot, and when the breech is closed by a lever, a number of steel pins, pressed by spiral springs, aro only prevented from striking the per cussion arrangements iri-tfie cartrid ges by a plate in frontofthem. When this case is moved slowly by a handle, the cartridges are fired one by .one. If the plate is withdrawn rapidly thoy follow each other so quickly that their discharge is all but simultaneous. The invention is said to be well ad apted for uso in forts and probably in ships, as well as in other permanent places of defense and offense, but that its carriage and management present obstacles to its general uso in the field. In its capacity for wholesale firing at least it resembles the ""coffee mill gun" which was invented early in our own war, but which the war depart ment at Washington, we believe, de clined to purchase aud discarded as a failure. In vbat respect it failed was never officially stated. "The success of the Mitrailleur "in field service is yet to be established. The Prussians, however, view it with some curiousity and concern, if not with apprehension, siuce they have ofleren, according to late dispatches, a reward of five thousand thalers t'he soiaiers wuo may nrst captura one these extraordinary weapons." of A Remnrknblc Phenomenon Nature Suspends a Burning Brund In tue Air. The diurnal period from noon on Monday till noon on Tuesday was note-worthy from the number of des tructive fires that occurred three large fires involving a loss of nearly one million of dollars. On the morn ing of the latter day, about five o'clock a singular phenomenon, made its ap pearance in the sky to tiie north-east, and was observed by sevesai persons in different parts of the city. The sky was perfectly clear and the' stars shining brightly, whoa suddenly an object of an oblong shape a cloud perhaps was seen suspended in'inid air, to the north-east of persons near Tryon row. It was a most beautiful as well as,curious sight, having the appearance Of a huge firebrand, near ly decarbonized, plucked from a heap of burning logs and hastily transfer red to its position, the hasty transit I imparting an added brilliancy. But little stretch Of the imagination was required'lo make it the'scepter of the Fire GodjheId in lerrorem overutho spectators-a reality beinggiven to the idea bv the thought that there were two large fires raging at the moment. Scientists may explain the phenome mm on purely scientific, ground-, but the fact that the sky was otherwise cloudless will render this a difficult task. v. i . JieraM.
