The Dutch have been the subjects Of
more jibes and jeers than any other people
Of modern times. French wits and Eng
lish poets have time out of mind concurred
in deriding them, and the epigram of Vol
taire, and the verses of Butler are con-
stantly quoted at their expense. But the
Dutch are as brave, as ingenious, and as
persevering- race as exists on the earth,
or considering their semi submerged geo.
graphical condition. in the waters under
the earth. Their very national existence
is one long victory over the sea, and now
they are looking forward to further con-
quest. 1t is seriously proposed to drain
the Zuyder Zee. A survey has been made
of that vast inland body of water, and off.
cial reports hold out the hope that it can
be exhausted in nine or ten, or at the fur
thest, in fourteen years. One enthusiast
in engineering thinks that by steam power
he can drain it in eighteen or twenty
months. The bottom of the Zuyder Zee
is found, by repeated soundings and ana
'lysis of the mud brought by the instru.
ments, to be composed Of clay exceedingly
susceptible of agricultural improvement
and if the immense undertaking now pro-
jected can be accomplished, a large area
worth fifty millions of dollars, will be
added to the territory of Holland.

The Season.
For many years we have not had a
winter such as the one which is now past
and gone. Mild and open almost from,
the beginning to the end, it was agreeable
and pleasant enough favorable to the
poor, but by no means promotive of health
as coughs and colds have been universally
prevalent. But few of our citizens, in
deed, escaped them, either in greater OF
less degree. In the month of December,
about Christmas, we had the severest cold,
as the murcury fell below zero. January
and February, if we except few dark and
dreary days, wore acontinuous smile upon
their faces. March has been unusually
cold. The ground is net yet broken W
and snow storms have been Of frequen
occurrence. The Vernal Equinox brough
with it pretty heavy blow, whitening tn,
earth with its feecy tribute, and awaken
ing the cold northern winds the influence
of which is still felt throughout the land.
In the meantime, the trees continue to
wear their naked branches and the violet
closes its blue eyes. The earth still sports
its grey mantle, and neither field MOI
forest look as though they were i'm
patient of the continuance of the cold that
delays their new birth ard prevents their
release from the grasp of continuing death
and winter. Our most experienced far
mers tell Us that these are favorable sis ms
and foretell harvest of abundant and
healthful fruit. Be it so.-Charles Cih

PLAYED Ont.

Played Out.
The business of lecturing about the
country before lyceums and literary asso-
Citations would seem to be about played
out. At Delaware, Ohio, an account has
been published which shows that the most
popular lecturers no longer pay. Out of
seven stars only Anna Dickinson and
John G.. SAKE drew expenses. Even the
graceful and evangelical Theodore Tilton
cost more than he came to, while Henry
Vincent, the English radical, and Gen. O..
o. Howard, the Yankee radical, alike en-
tailed loss upon their hospitable enter
tanners. What would have been the
result had the Delawarians any one of the
great chiefs of the lecturing profession,
such as Henry Ward Beecher, George W.
Curtis, E. II. Chaplin, or Wendell Phillips,
can only be conjectured; but as we pre-.
sumo these gentlemen charge in proportion
to their renown, we fear they would have
left a balance on the wrong side Of the
Delaware ledger.
As popular entertainment, lecturing
eliminated about ten years ago. 1t is a
slow and unexciting recreation at the best,
and now that every considerable town has
its opera house, in which the modern mu-
steal diversions of France or Italy are sure
to be performed at various times within
three or four weeks of the winter season,
possibly with the interesting novelty ofthe
ballet,and, possibly, of the can-can, thrown
in, the halls of the lecturers have. become
deserted. 1t is fact, too, that very tclera-
BILE theatrical companies also travel around
more than formerly, exhibiting the English
and English-French drama, not to mention
the itinerant ..minstrels, white and black
ened, with their elegant and vulgar con-
certs and it is not surprising that the
public have gradually lost their taste for
the performances of single artists, whose
harps have but one string, and that often
of very cherries quality. Lecturing, we
fear, will have to be stopped for want OF
sustenance.
We don't mean such lecturing rs that Of
Mr.. Waterhouse Hawkins, or Prof. You
mans, or other genuine savants who ex-
pound solid science to those who wish to
be instructed; but that kind of lecturihg
which any smart young fellow can get up
with smattering of literature and CYCLIC
pedia. Go where you will, her royal high
ness the Grand Duchess of Gerolstein, or
IIumpty Dumpty will beat the lecturers
out of sight.

A few days since Deacon Mcneil, of
Argyle, left his home, wife and child, with
the understanding that he was going to
Fort Edward with neighbor. Indeed,
he started in company with companion,
but the two had proceeded on their way
only short distance when they overlook
. Miss Mahaffy, also neighbor and niece
OF Mcneil, who upon being questioned as
to her distinction replied that she was
also going to Fort Edward. As she was
carrying somewhat heavy satchel, and
the neighbor with whom Mcneil was
riding suspecting nothing, he invited her
to ride. She accepted the invitation, and
the trio proceeded upon their way. Up
on arriving at Fort Edward the parties
separated but, by this time, McNeil's
friends hogan to suspect that all was not
right, and. keeping an eye on the pair, he
was'not little astonished at seeing them
proceed to the depot and take the cars,
since which time nothing has been heard
Of them. Mcneil, who had been married
about eight years, leaves q loving wife
and one child, and Miss Mahafry, who is
about twenty-five years of age, is Of re-
spectacle family. Mcneil left letter L
ose Of his neighbors, requesting him t.
sell his farm, which was heavily mort
gagged, and, after paying the encumbranct
upon it, to give the balance to the wife h.
had SO unceremoniously deserted.

The fifth letter Of fernando Cortes to the EN-.
peror Charles T., has just been for the first time
printed in English. The narrative describes the
eventful expedition OF Cortes 10 the bay of Hon.
duras in 1926, - with handful of men," writes
the editor, with no assistance but that of small
compass, and very imperfect map furnished
him by the natives of Tsbasco, marking the prin-
cipsl places visited by Indian traders in their wan
behring's over those wild plains-with such guides
from time to time he could pick up in his Jour.
ney. Cortes traversed that broad and level tract
which forms the base Of Yucstsn, and spreads
from the Coatzscoacosrver to the head of the gulf
called by the SpaDiards of those times Golf de la
Hibuefss. and now known as bay of Honduras
thus forming one of the longest and most perilous
marches ever attempted in ancient or modern
times" The London Review says the story of
the exploit is most perfect romance, aud that
few books of travel and adventure are more full OF
fascinating elements

GRANTS LOYALTY TO THE NEGRO SUSPECTED
ECONOMY" MATTER OF SMALL CONSEQUENCE.
From the New York Independent

THE prevalent confidence in Grants administra-
ton fills us with a considerable pleasure. We
are glad to witness this confidence in others, and
are disposed to share in it lin fair degree) our
selves. At the same time. we do not " build upon
the event in marble" Every four years, after q
new ship of state is launched. we try to say,
"Our hopes, triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee -
And yet, we have been so often disappointed.
30 often deceived, often betraye that we can
not forget the sad corroborstng experience of the
shrewd knglishman who said, "Wherever there Ia
government, there is rascslity." Governments
are made to be watched; and there is no greater
duty of the people than TO watch them. II the next
administration shall prove to be all that its friends
expect of it, then 1t will bear watching; and if il
shall not SO prove then it will need it. In either
case, and at all times, the price of liberty is eter
nal vigilance"
"Gen. Grant lin his speech to the committee
who notified him of what be knew before) said
nothing which had not been already said By every
previous president elect within mortal men,
ory. Economy Is as common on every new ad-
minstration's lips as it is rare in every old admin
istration's practice. IL il a quadrennial promise
made TO the ear and broken to the hope. Was not
Abraham Llnc0ln's name a very synonym for hon
esty, and yet how far was he able to stop his
money squnndering officials, in all parts of the
country, from their reckless extravaganza? Ia
like manner, we suspect that the promised econ
omy OF The new administrator will consist chiefly
In laudable intent TO be economical.
lone thing, however. is certain: Grant is by
instinct and passion man as thoroughly honest as
Lincoln. Our next chief magistrate will, there
fore, do his utmOst-yes, to the straining of his
last nerve-to collect the whisky tax. to prevent
frauds on the revenue. to remove REGULATORS from
Office. and to cleanse three years soiIure from
the presidential name.
' But it is not to Grants praise that, 10 his re.
cent pronunciamieno-a little speech which he
probably meant as a pilot-fsh TO the inaugural
he alluded only to the safe topic of economy, and
stood dumb on those greater questions of human
rights, which, If he were a man in love with ideas
and principles, be would have regarded as of
greater importance than a watchdog's warning
bark by the side of money chest. Indeed, so
long as Orsntrudely says Niger in private. we
90 not EXPECT him generously to say 'negre in
public. He has undoubtedly desire to see the
NEGRO question settled justly but is very slow to
contribute word of his own toward such a settle
ment. Perhaps, however, he is holding in reserve
pleasant surprise for Us on this question in MS
inaugural"
