A PRoposED RIVER TO THE RocKY
MoUSTA1Es, The st. Louis Democrat.
says the Lake Providence Herald, Of
the 9Th inst, proposes to make river
from the Mississippi direct to the
Rocky Mountains by turning into. a
single flood several of the streams
which groove the face of the Great
Plains, west of Missouri, from the
highlands to the lowlands. It's propo-
sition is to divert the South Fork Of
the Platte into the Republican Fork Of
the Kansas, andthe North Fork of.the
Arkansas.ipto the Smoky Hill Forks
of the Kansas, which it contends
would unite in the Kansas River BODY
Eot water greater than that which flows
down the Missouri, and furnish navi.
CATION to steamers, up both branches
to the very crest of the Table Land.
The Democrat contends that this mag
nifcent project is not only feasible but
easy Of accomplishment.

How THE INDIANS MAKE WHISKY
The Abaece Indians have a mode of
making whisky which would appear
novel to the manufactures of that arti-
Gle in the Ohio.Valley. The firing up
process is rather slow yet these Apa.
ehes seems to get liquor which makes
good "drunk" come. The process ac-
cording tot correspondent Of the Aris
zonian is as follows:
The corn is first soaked for tweniys
four hours hole 10 then dug in the
ground generiy in a wigwam, and
some dry grass laid on the bottom ;
on this grass the corn is placed and a
layer Of grass over it Four or five
times day warm water 10 sprinkled
over the corn and al night the family
sleep omit to increase the warmth and
make the corn sprout quick. At the
end Of four or five days the corn is all
sprouted; ii is then dried and pounded
fine put in kettle and boiled tor five
hours; when cooled il is mixed with
sugar and -four and left to ferment for
twelve hours when it is ready for drink
ing. Although not rank TO the taste
and fiery its intoxicating power 10 very
great and when an Indian has q
quart or two aboard he don't care a
copper who is President ofthe United
States.

Though this may be q email price to pay for
human life, yet the verdict wtii probably have
the effect of sharpening the wits of the railroad
managers, and reaching their humanity, through
the most sensitive channel their pockets A
few more verdicts of this character would do
good A heavy mulct now and then would cor
rect much of the carelessness 40 common in tho
conducting of railroad lines in this country. II is
evident, from many similar cases. that juries gone
rally are disposed to indict damages In all cases
where accidents occur through the negligence Of
the company. They should lay them on heavily
1t is the only way to insure safety ia travelling.
The mode which many Of our railroad compa-
MES have been recently adopting, of raising
loans to pay dividends, and allowing the rolling
stock to 60 to ruin, has left the roads in suoh
villainous repair that the wonder is that appall-
ing accidents are not more frequent; but they
may be expected to occur at any moment A
heavy verdict for damages In case Of loss Of Life
or limb, is more sslutary than all the laws that
could be enacted. Laws are almost invariably
disregarded, but verdicts for damages are not
likely to be.

A LESSON TO RAILROAD CoNpANIEs.-A Sc
we're lesson--though not one half severe enough
has just been given to a railroad company by a
jury in Burlington, Vermont, which we trust
will have wholesome effect on the managers of

Mr.. Ebcn N. French, was killed. The admi

In addition to the above catalogue of States,
therefore, the republicans must secure either Min
nesota or Indiana or Illinois to make up major
ity of the electoral vote; but, from the elections
in those States last fall and from the general run
Of the Northern elections Of this spring, and from
the prevailing sectional distractions of the de-
mocracy everywhere, Indiana, Illinois and Min
nesota may all be carried by the republican,
This is doubtless the estimate of w. H. Seward,
and with this prospect before him is 1t likely
that either he or his party engineers will consent
to any concessions to the opposition party Of the
South which may be dispensed with, and espc-
