The psrien Canal,

An article in Putnam, for March, ON
the Inter-Oceanic Canal scross the Isth-
mus OF Darien embodies great amount
of information Of especial interest at the
present moment 1t is estimated that
the saving in distance by the canal will
be ss follows:
New to Calcutta, 4, lO0milss. to Canton
6, 800 miles; to Shanghai, $500 miles !;
to Melbourne, Australia, 8, $40 miles; to
Jeddo, Japan, g, ,4Se miies. Here is an
immense saving in distance which Is in
valuable to. our csHameEee> Another
point TO be considered fs that canal
would enable vessels to pass from ocean
to ocean without breaking cargo; that .
smaller class of ships could be employed
in the carrying trade-vessels whose
safety wsuld be endangered by pass
age round the Horn that the East In
dia products would be brought so much
nearer to our doors that their use would
be more general than now and, above
all, that Amer ca would become q most
formidable rival to Europe in tho al
ready rapidly increasing East India
trade. It Is estimated that the conn
merce around Cape Horn and over the.
Isthmus Of Panama now amounts to
about 8, 500 600 tons annually, at an ex-
pense of say, $40 per ton making fetal
Of $35, ,0O0, 900 per year. Suppose, half
this expense should be saved by the con-
struction of canal. would not the en-
terprise pay, even il its building should
absorb millions? The Panama railroad
cost nearly 5000, 900, and nearly paid
for itself in the first seven years. The
road is now paying handsomely and re-
warding its stockholders with heavy
dividends. The trade of the United
States, Englsnds and France, that would,
in all probability, pass through the ca
nal, has been estimated at $467 ,830, 900,
and as these figures were made up after
careful study Of the subject. they may
be deemed very near correct. 1t is esti-
mated that the saving in money to the
trade Of the United States at $36, 900, 600;
to the trade of England, $3.50, 900; to
the trade Of France, 81, 1s0, 900; and to
the trade Of the combined worle, 49,
SOC, 600. Should the trade Of the werld
increase in the same rstio-100 per cant.
for the next ten years, that it has for
the past ten, there will accrue Q saving

A WISE CHoICE.-A little girl having
one day read to her teacher the first
twelve verses of the fifth chapter of the
Gospel by Matthew, he asked her to
stop and tell him which of these holy
tempers, said by our Lord to be blessed,
she should most like to have.
She paused a little, and said with a
modest smile: -5sr -.sl .. ...a
ST would rather be pure in heart"
Her teacher asked her why she chose
this above all the rest
"Sir," she said, "if had pure heart
I should have all the other graces spoken
of in the chapter"

$50, 1900; Nevada, $4,000; Sacramento,
425,00O; Yoio, 100000. The total pro-

lowing 704 cocoons to the pound, repre-
senting q cash value Of S3,676 20. To be
added to this was the egg crop of $50

Cyelops Of the gaag,. in the deep Sc
pulchral voices enployed by these

Miss Graham that unless she gave up
the school and left the town within
thirty-six hours, they would burn the
school house and kill her. "We are

gang to her. "We are opposed to having

Miss Graham concluded to leave Flor

bids fair, with little more practice, to
compete with Kentucky, and may in
time even outrival the corners.

The Lake II Death,

Mono Lake lies ten miles southwest OF
the dividing line between California
and Nevada, and 10 about fourteen miles
long and nine wide. 1t has never been
sounded, but q trial said to have been
made with line three hundred feet
long and failed to reach the bottOm. BY
chemical analysis a gallon of the water
weighing eight pounds is found to con-
tain twelve hundred grains 0fsolid mat
ter, consisting principally of chloride of
sodium, carbonate of soda, sulphate OF
soda, borax and SILICA. These sub
stances render the water So acid and
nausesting that it is unfit for drinking
or even bathing Leather immersed in
it il seen destroyed by its corrosive prop
critics, aud no animal. nor even fish or
frog, can exist in the water for more
than short time. The only thing able
to live within or upon the waters of this
Lake is species Of fly, which springs
from Larvae bred in its bosom. after an
sphemeral life dies, and collecting on
the surface is drifted to shore, where
the remains collect in vast quantities
and are fed upon by the ducks or gath
cred by the Indians, with whom they
are q staple article Of food. Nesting
under the eastern water shed of the
Sierra, Mono Lake receives several con-
siderable tributaries, and though desti-
tute Of any outlet, such is the aridity Of
the atmosphere that it is always kept at
Q nearly uniform level by the process of
evaporation. So dense and sluggish is
water rendered through approximation
with various salts and other foreign mat
ter, that only the strongest winds raise
ripple to its surface. AS the scria in this
neighborhood reaches nearly its greatest
altitude, the scenery about Mono Lake
is varied and majestic. some parts of it
being at the same time marked by
NEST cherries and desolate aspect. The
bitter and fatal waters of this lake render
it literally dead sea, and its surround
ings-wild, gloomy and forbidiing-are
suggestive sf sterility and death. The
decomposing action of the water is
shown by its effect upon the bodies Of .
party of Indians, who seeking to escape
from their pursuers. took refuge In the
lake, where they were shot by their
enemies, who left them in the water
In the course of q few weeks not ves-
tige Of their bodies was to be seen, even
their bones having been decomposed by
this powerful solvent. a~t a,a hua f,r.fa
