of unnecessary suffering, by giving the Cor

course of great men and the destiny of

dictions in this eventful life. The most
remarkable was that of j. Howard Payne,
author of ."Sweet Homen' I knew him
personally. He occupied the rooms under
was so captivating that have often spent
whole days in his apartment. He was an
applicant for Office at the time-Consul at
Tunis-from which he had been removed.
What sad thing it was to see the poet
subjected to all the humiliation of Office
seeking. Of an evening we would walk
along the streets, looking into the lighted
parlors as we passed. Once in a while
we would see some family circle so happy,
and forming so beautiful a group that we
would both stop and then pass silently on.
such occasions he would give me histo-
ry of his wanderings-his trials, and all
the cares incident to his sensitive nature
and poverty.

been in the heart of Paris, Berlin, London,
or some other large city, and heard per-
sons singing or the hand organ playing

the next meal, or place to put my head.
The world has literally sung my song
until every heart is familiar with its
melody. Yet / have been a wanderer

Thus he would complain of his hapless
lot. His only wish was to die in for

sleep in obscurity.

sad.
"Have you got your consulate 2" said [.
Yes, and leave in week for Tunis !;

The last expression was not political
faith. Far from it. Poor Payne, his
wish was realized: he died at Tunis.-
Whether his remains have ever been
brought to this country, [ know not.
They should be; and if none others would
do it, let the homeless throughout the
world give penny for a monument to

WABASH lNl ERIE CiyiL.

The citizens of Evansville are making |
pre- parations for celebration, upon the
completioli of this great work. The first
work done upon this lengthy ditch, with
in the limits o. this State. we recollect
visiting few miles east of Fort Wayne,
in company with one of the Commission
els, upwards of twenty years ago. Its
termination was then generally under
stood to be at the mouth of Tippecanoe
River, about ten miles east of Lafayette.
Upon all examination Of the act OF Con-
gress donating lands for its construction.
it was provided that it should extend TO
the mouth of the Tippecanoe River. or
"to some navigahle point on the Wabash
River" This left its terminus rather in
definitely determined upon. and 10 fully
settle upon that point. some little fun
was up amongst the towns along the Wa
bash from Logansport to Vincennes-each
sticking stakes as the certain navigable
point on the Wabash. 1t was determined.
however. by an additional selection Of
public lands. with the consent, or by the
provision OF Congress. that the work was
to be extended to Terre Haute.
The internal improvement system of
1886. projected that part of the work
which now forms the termination Of the
Wabash and Erie Canal at Evansville.--
The Cross cut Canal from Terre Haute to
Poiut Commerce. connected. what was
called the White River Canal from Indi
annapolis to Evansville. with the Wablsl,
and Erie. whose terminus was at Terre
Haute. For the completion of the whole
work thus projected. arrangements were
entered into between the State and her
bond holders. and The present owners of so
much of the work as passes through our
which-now completed. is the
/ longest Canal in the world.
The time which has elapsed since the
commencement of this work to its com
pietion. would place ce,ebra lions rather
distant from each Other. There was not
d mile of Railroad provided for in the en-
tire west, when the Wabash and Lrie
Canal was commenced; but before lis fl
nal termination, how many thousands OF
miles were in complete operation or un
Ter construction, we are not now pre-
pared 10 say. Ii will be safe prediction.
however, TO conclude that Canal digging
is about terminated in this county, with
the completion Of the Wabash and Erie
/ Canal.
