Afloat Undergrouud -A Fearful Experi once in Ncollet Island Tunnel. It is not generally known in this vi einity, anid the newspaper men have no t yet got the ite), that William W. Rast man, the proprietor ot- the cmloebrated Nicollet Island TVanel; David A. 8,aoomb, a noted lawyer here ; and George Histwan, a younger brother of William, had a narrow esope froi death a few weeks ago while exploring the ruins of this su terraneun-excavation. The party had proceeded in a boat by paddling about five hundred feet from the entrance. The awful darkness of the place was appalling to the stoutest boart? the vays 'of the lantern shrunk within themnelves, and the cavernous reaches re-eotood a deep, metallio resonance to the tones of the voice. The elder Eastman drove the canoe slowly on ward through the darkness, past sunk. en rooks and logs, Soacomb and George steadying the frail vessel and guard. ing the lantern. Suddenly chaos seemed to have been euthroned; the water in the tunnel rose and fell as if the took strata below was upheaving; the most infernal crash and booming echoes stunned the car and brain; portions of the rock above were fall. ang I Whole yards of solid lime rock dropped bodily around the boat, and into the awful gulf of roaring waters drove the frail vessel, to be thrown up again toward the yawning gaping rook-roof by the swelling wave. Why the boat was not smashed is a mira cle. With fragmont of rook and earth it still floated, and still offered the bold spirits within It chances for life. Up and down the long, and to thema Interminable, length of tionel ran the erashing echoes of new-falling rook, and the rook aides of the exca vation. It can never be told how the party ever survived the tretnendous gauntlet of that terrible experience and gained the entrance with their shattered boat. Palo, drenobed with water, and soiled with mud, bruised and out by rocks and sandstone, more dead than alive, they dragged them. selves, weary and worn, to the sun light of the upper world, and thanked God for all His mercies. None will wonder that it was agreed that noth ing should be said concerning the dis aster, especially in their families, and, as I said, it is only lately the occur rence became known to a few. But of this remarkable chopping of the rook roof of this tunnel, and its effect on the enterprise, I will write us In anothes letter.-Minneapolix (Minn.) Cor. Chicogo Republican. Tiur CoLORD Succzsson or JaF DAvIs.-Tho war has exhibited some dreadful revenges. Nine year ago Mississippi was represented In the Senate by Jeff Davis, who left mainly to assert the right of white men to hold black ones disfranohised and without rights. Now there comes to sooeed him Revels, a colored man, whose chief aim seems to be to assert the right of black men to relieve white rebels of their disfranchisement and to take off their bonds. This is putting coals of Are upon an enemy's head wIth scorohing effeot. Bet the most terrible revenge of all falls upon Sumner. The black man has been his idol. le has worked for him harder than tho. black slave ever worked for Jeff David. 'He has set his highest aimt on attaining the Senatorship for one of the oppressed race. But in proportion as he loved the negro he has hated the white master. He has been grinding him hard ever since the rebellion tripped him. He has, like 8hylbok, got "him on the hip," and would feed fat the ancient grudge he owes him. But at this very juncture ? comnes this negro Senator, whom he (sumner) bad, as it wore, raised to the.enatorial sent beside him, and this negro, of all others, brings in a petition to restore their rights to the disfranchised rebels and to let Anto nio keep his pound of flesh, it is enough to make even Sumner swear at the black man, "Out, out, damned spot !"-New York Herald. The recent comnmunicatin publbehed in the Cowarier detailing an inte~rvuew on the political situation, with a public man, has ercited much comment.

Mr. George Ay rault is a well-to-do Duchess county farmer, a mat) who takes great pride in iaising sleek, fat cattle. In this branch of a farmer's business he has met with the greatest success ; so great, in fact, as to be able to-day to state with truthfulness that he has raised the four fatest steers in the world. The lightest one of them weighs three thousand pounds, and the heaviest over four thousand pounds. The latter is named "George Pea. body." Recently Mr. Ayrault sold these cattle to Mr Lalor, of Fulton Market, Now York, for $800 each, or $3,200 (or all. They are jgurply American, having, been calved on Mr. Ayrault's farm, and they are indeed wonderful to look upon. They were brought here from Mr. Ayrault's on huge barn-like sleds, being drawn into town one by one, the first two by six horses and the last two by. twelve oxen. As they passed through the city to the stables of .the North~ern Hotel vast crowds followed them, and windows in the streets through which they moved were filled with men and women peer log down upon the monstrous masses of flsh. .They are to remain here on embibition till:Friday, when they will be shipped to New York and there butchered, after which their hidosare to be stuffed and placed in Central Park. During the past year these animals haved gained 1,460 pounds each. Their feed has been mostly meal and beets.. A beatatiful. ehromo litho, graph of thdin, has already been is sued, and it Is soon to be followed by a chart from $1r. Ayrault, giving particulars relative to their "bring ing up."
