The Darion ship Canal.

For three hundred years 1t has been the
dream Of commercial enterprise TO sweep
away the slight barrier which separates
the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, and by
the construction Of a ship canal across the
1sthmus Of Darien to throw open to the
world the vast advantages. of q moro direct
and safer route from Europe to China. The
project seems at length shout to assume q
practical and tangible shape. The recent
mission of Mr. Caleb Gushing to Bogota has
resulted in treaty with the Colombian
Government which will probably render the
completion of the enterprise only matter
of few years.
BY its terms, the exclusive right is con-
oeded to the United States of constructing
canal OF canals across the Isthmus of
Darien, and the liberty of choosing any
route that may be selected by our engineers.
Six miles Of land are oeded by the Colon
bian Government on either side of the ca
nh': one- half for the benefit Of the party un-
dertaking its construction. 1t vests the own
ership and exclusive control, and of course
the right of fixing the rate Of tolls, in the
o'overnment Of the United States. It allows
ten months for the ratification of the treaty,
~sssSSaSn ycars for the commencement of the
wos nd aaeen years thereafter for its
cor' pNeton.
fhe Rsutraiiiy If the canal is provided
f'r oJ CLAUSE ID the treaty, requiring that
1t shS'' "e offs~ = ne commerce of nations,
except il zines o. II, - when t. ia 10 be
closed @ bc'lgeAsnts. Tl&e Co,s.Ahian GOV.
elpmcus is TO receive tea, per cent of the
net profits OF tho cam for the first ten
5e~rO, and as'er tAl o4naj - paid for, one
fourth Of the net profits. The estimated
cost Of the work is oO,O00,OOO.
After the success IF the Atlantic cable,
the Suez canal, The Mont Gents tunnel and
the Pacific railroad, it would be rash
to pronounce the Darien canal imprac-
ticable. AS to the physical difficulties of
the work, there seems no reason to sup.
pose them insuperable. But the ability of
the projectors to carry the work through
to completion will depend upon their ability
to satisfy capitalists; first, that the work is
practicable, and, secondly, that as an in
vestment 1T will pay good interest. These
are questions for future solution. In the
meantime, it is safe to predict that the
treaty will be speedily ratified by the Sen
ate, and that the work of the preliminary
surveys will be at once entered upon, with
the view of bringing out the gigantic com
pany whose capital is to effect the long de.
sired union Of the two great oc cans.

Lieutenant Braine, OF the Confederate navy,
held by the government on charge of piracy,
is represented by writer in o morning paper

suferings IN prison have been SO intense that
he cannot walk without tho aid of q crutch,
and is perhaps permanently disabled. His
right foot is much swollen from infiammatory

years OF age, but says that since his imprisoD :

flight Of years. With a shattered constitution
and frame that is DO longer the subject of

an ostler, with an average salary OF civ $3.50
per year. He contrived, between Tn years
1042 and 1865, to acoum Hlate enough mo,sy L.
be placed as the fourth in the list OF wealthy
citizens of Concord, N. 81. 1t is STATED that
during this period Of twenty-three wars, he
made over $50, 900, built himself the taest resi-
dence in Concord, and was known IS O large
stockholder and real estate owner. Suspicious
were reused i,' 1866. that the conductors Of the
ROAD IN question we're holding back the money
they received, and an Investigation was made
which satisfied the company that they did not
receive all they wero entitled to. The defendant
in the suit just decided was examined, and un-
dertook to account for his property by thrift and
economy. Among other things he stated that
thas clothing of his wife for the last twenty
years had cost $50 per annum; but unfortu-
nately, in 1865, he had received $500 from an
insurance company, for his wife's dresses, all
new, that had been injured by fire. He also
undertook to account for $4,000 of his property
as the profits on peanuts sold on his train by a
small Irish boy in his employment. The refc-
rees in the suit finally decided that the railroad
company were entitled TO recover of the con-
ductor the sum Of SIS 500.
