Great Engineering Projects.

For some time past we have been beset by
complaints that civil engineers could find
nothing to do; that the profession in En-
gland was overstocked. and had fallen to a
very low ebb 1t is hard to reconcile these
complaints with the fact that in India there is
at present an almost unlimited demand for
civil engineers that there is as much work
and as much money as could possibly be de-
sired but that the men who can execute the
one and pocket the other are not to be had
The work is of kind that any competent
man should be proud to overwhelmingly,
irrigation. We mentioned some time since
that Col. Strachey had returned to India, to
superintend the Irrigation works which, at
last tie government has decided to under
take, and that his estimate for the scheme
was twenty nine millions sterling. A begin
ming has actually been made in different
places, but the great want is civil engineers
who can plan and dig canals, build dams,
tanks and reservoirs construct entertainments,
and improve river channels
Here is field for enterprise It almost
takes ones breath away to read the details
such is the magnitude Of the project. In Cen
trail India there are nearly 1914, 000 900 acres to
be irrigated; in Hipdostan. 100000 acres

ENGLISH VS.. FRENCH THREsHING MA

a REMARKABLE case has Just been
decided in Portland, Me-, in which rail
road company has been heavily fined for
the insolence Of one of its conductors
The facts are that Judge Goddard, a
prominent citizen of Maine, purchased a
ticket to Danville Junction, and started
to visit his family, then residing in Auburn.
The afternoon train was very long, and,
as usual, one Jackson was detailed to take
the tickets of passengers leaving the train
before the regular conductor came through.
Judge Goddard, having some business at
Falmouth, stepped out, and, upon the re-
quest of Jackson, handed him his ticket
Upon his return Jackson againapproached
where he was sitting and demanded his
ticket, and, upotl Judge Goddard's reply
ing that he gave it to him when he left
the car, he told the Judge that he lied,
and falling into an ungovernable passion,
committed an assault upon him, shaking
his fists in his face, threatening to beat
his brains out, and using the most threat
ening language. He continued thus for
some twenty minutes The company still
retain the man in their employ, and in
deed have recently promoted him. For
this outrage Judge Goddard sued the
Grand Trunk Railway Co. and on Mon
day recovered verdict Of $3.50

PROSPECTS in California.

The San Francisco Bulletin says the new
year opens favorably to all the leading
interests of the, state While the rain,
fall has not reached the average quantity,
lit has been sufficient for the wants of the
farmer, horticulturist and miner. While
grain is still the favorite crop, there is yet
much doing to diversity agriculture, and
the wider planting Of vines, of mulberry
groves, of sorghum and the arrangements
making to experiment with rice in the
tule lands, show that the PROSPERITY of
the state is not to be always jeoparded
of dependence on single great staple.
There is no abatement in the zeal for
railroad building. With the recent.
completion of the California Pacific from
Vallejo to Sacramento; the opening of a
through line from Vallejo to Calistoga
and the completion of fifteen mile Of the
Southern Pacific between San Jose and
Gilroy, there are now over four hundred
and fifty miles of railroad in practical
operation in California The Western

likely to be completed by midsummer

How TO USE STORMY SuNDAY-This
Is the recipe the Methodist gives
The very best thing to do on stormy
Sunday is to go to church. We have new
er able to understand why persons in or
binary health who trudge through mud
and rain and sleet and snow to their bust
on working days, should stay away from
church on stormy Sundays, unless it be
that they do not want to go. There is
less excuse for this in cities and towns,
where sidewalks are boarded bricked, or
tagged, than in the country, where the
paths are wet and miry. 1t is safe rule,
applicable alike in city and country not
to allow anything to keep us from church
on Sunday would not hinder us from bust
ness on other days. If people expect
their minister to be at church on stormy
Sundays, they ought to be there them
selves. The fact of preaching implies
the corresponding fact of somebody to
preach to and if the minister has spent
his time during the week in preparing a
discourse, it is only right that the people
show their appreciation of his labors by
their presence on Sunday to listen to it.

A Positive Remedy for all
kinds of Hunaors. K

YNHIS excellent medicinal compound was first
and was then employed with great success in
expelng humors from the blood; but in 1948 a
medical friend who was quite celebrated as physi-
cian especially in the treatment of humors, sug-
gested some important improvements, which were
adopted and which has made 1t $50 the people say)
the very best remedy for sl kinds of humors known
to "the faculty." t1
This preparation is composed entirely of vegeta-
bles, among which Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock
Noble Pine, Mandrake, and Bloodroot.
When the originator lived in New Hampshire, at
Gofstown Centre, for the space of thirty or forty
miles around, and in Manchester particularly, the
Humor Doctor was we'll known and highly valued
for the numerous and wonderful cures which it eff
fected. Though manufactured in large Quantities,
the supply was frequently exhausted, and purchas-
ers had to wait for more to be made In that re-
gion, some very severe cases of Erysipelas were
treated with, and they were cured Erysipelas
sores, carbuncles, those ugly, painful ulcers,
were entirely removed wherever this medicine
was faithfully used So it was with Scrofula and
Salt Rheum. The Humor Doctor cured them

GRANT FAILURE.-The New York
Tisnes, good Republican authority, give
utterance to the following expressions OF
disappointment in the course pursued by
Grant in tQo disposition Of Offices:
"Thc expectation which was general
at the outset of the administration, and
was prompted by the Presidents dcclara-
tons on the subject that faithful and ef
fcent officers would not be disturbed, no
matter to what party they belonged, but
especially if they we're republicans, has
been grievousIy disappointed. Some of
the best men in the service, both at home
and abroad, who@e record is unimpeach-
able and whose political orthodoxy is un-
questioned, have been summarily remov-
ed and forced to give place to inferior
but more clamorous applicants. In truth,
the old style of making appointments, by
accepting the pressure and dictation of
politicians rs the controlling influence,
has been adhered to pretty closely. 7Ae
swesping reforms 70 loudly promised, and
90 eagerly expected, seem to hare been IN

that, general disafrcction exists among
the Indians now in the vicinity OF Camp
Wichita Indian Territory owing to their
being deprived Of the supplies promised
them, by the officers Of the Government

phoHy attributable to the state OF the
roads, and the officers in charge Of the
distribution of Indian Supplies for the
Comanchcs, Kiowas and affiliated bands,
have made almost supcrhuman efforts to
get the supplies transported in time, but
failed But the ignorant aborigine can
not take these matters into consideration,
but considers these excuses merely a
breach Of faith on the part Of the white
