Washington Navigation.

It will afford every citizen Of the me-
tropolis pleasure to learn that the Secreta-
~ of the Interior has had his attention
directed to the important subject Of the
draining the marsh of Greenleaf's Point,
and the construction of canal in that
section of the city.
We are not aware that the honorable
gentleman has expressed any opinion with
regard to the measure, nor are we au-
thorized to state what would be likely to
be his sentiments concerning it. But we
are confident, from what we know per-
sonally, that Gov. McClelland takes a
deep interest in the permanent prosperity
of Washington, and that he will do all
that is lawfully in his power to promote
it.
No public object is more important than
the building of the canal in the direction
named, for the purpose of promoting the
navigation of Washington. Our citizens
need such water communication, and
especially in the quarter leading from the
foot of the west side Of Capitol Hill
through the marsh of Greenleaf's Point
to the Anacostia. This will afford an out
let to commerce which it has long needed,
and advance the interests of the whole
city. Property in that quarter has a
right to demand this commercial privi-
lege: and we do not believe it can be much
longer withheld.
There are many and good reasons why
anew wharf should be built in the Poto-
mac, for q landing from the Alexandria
boats, leading to al street. This street
on the Island is one of the best in the
city. tits easy of access from Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and tends directly to the
Railroad Depot. If the canal were open
ed by its side the facilities of business
would be greatly increased, and the nav
igation of the city receive material
benefit.
Another powerful reason for this i'm
provement is connected with the health
of our inhabitants. The carrying a
canal, with tide water, through the sec
ton designated would lesson the tenden-
cy to miasma that may otherwise exist.
At the same time, the work of digging
would require such embankments that all
the lowland would be filled up, and an
advantage to health as we'll as property
at once secured.
Having thus called attention to this
So beet, we shall follow it up with such
other facts and arguments as our duty to
the public.

A SECTARIAN.-Hcre is a real picture; and
alas, how true. The world is full of just
such "Uncle Johns"
"Uncle John was rigid sectarian, of the
bluest school of divinity; enjoying an i'm
mense reputation for .sanctity, than which
nothing was dearer to him save the contents
of the pocket book. 1t was his glory to be
the Alpha and Omega of parish gatherings
and committees to be consulted on the ex-
pediency of sending tracts to the Kangaroo
Islands; to be present at the laying of corner
stones of embryo churches; to shine con-
spicuously at ordinations, donation visits,
Sabbath-school celebrations, colporteur meet
ings-in short any thing that smacked of
church-steeple, or added one inch to the
length of his pharasaical skirt. He pitied the
poor, as every good Christian should; but
he never allowed them to put their hands in
his pocket-that was territory over which
the church had no control, it belonged entire
ly to the other side Of the fence.
Uncle John sat in his counting room look
ing very satisfactorily at the proof sheets of
the "MorDing STAR" of which he was editor.
He had just glanced over his long list of
subscribers, and congratulated himself that
matters were in such prosperous condition.
Then he took out large roll of bank bills
and fingered them most affcctionatey: then
he frowned ominously at a poor beggar child;
which peeped in the door; smoothed his
chin and settled himself comfortably in his
rocking chair"

.B- It is as natural for some people to
scold, as to breathe. They could not live if
denied the blessed pastime of dealing in such
language. Even when unprovoked, their
words are rs sharp as two-edged sword
To say that we had rather hear thunder is a
feeble comparison. We had rather hear a
gong, especially if it calls to dinner We
once knew a child who actually cried be-
cause his mother neglected to scold him for
pounding the cats tail with a boOtjack. The
truth is, that children become so accustomed
to scolding, that they look upon it as mat
ter of course. We never knew scolding
parent who could make child mind without
a hickory goad or broomstick. He moves
only when knocked endways. Reader, do
you scold! Who cares n red cent for what
you say!
