10" the passage Of vessels of the largest

rary Journal which is supposed to know
more abont spiritual than engineering mat.

,nS through the canal in only fourteen
hours, and this passage has Justly been ac-
cePted as establishing the practicabiity of
the canal for larger vessels.
Inc prospects Of the Darien Canal are
not definitely settled, but it is hoped a prac.
ticable route will be established ere long.
:. Inc canal that was proposed to be estab-
lshed between the Baltic Sea and the Ger
man Ocean is now much favored by various
commercial associations. and Is so STRONGLY
urges that probably survey to establish
the most practicable route will soon be
made.
IL Is thought that canal will also be
cut through the Isthmus of Corinth in
Ureece, thus connecting the Gulf Of Egina
and Lepanto. This canal cannot, however,
compare in commercial Importance with the
one intended to connect the Baltic with the
herman Ocean. 1t is, however, favored
oy the Greek Government, and will proba-
oily be cut through sooner or later.
A much more important project, and one
which IN magnitude eclipses all the others
IS a canal connecting the Bay of Biscay
with the Gulf of Lyons, a distance Of two
hundred and twenty-five niles. An esti-
mate OF the cost of the work has been
placed at $l25, 100000. The termini Of
this work as now projected, are Bordeaux
on the Bay Of Biscay, and Cette on the
Gulf Of Lyons. The section Of the cut
ting Is proposed to be of the same dimen-
tions as the Suez Canal.
Other minor works of the kind are un-
der consideration, and it is quite evident
that the isthmuses of the world are destined
to become the scenes Of remarkable engin-
eerlDg works in the time to come.
The commercial changes the works al
ready projected will effect, if they should
ever be completed, are altogether beyond
present comprehension. A work like that
between the Bay Of Biscay and
me Gulf Of Lyons, could scarcely have
been looked upon, in any other age, except
with doubt and derision. If any now de-
-ide, il ls because they see reason to doubt
inantial. rather than engineering success.

Projected Ship Canals.

The great Suez Canal, and the proposed
Darien Canal, have sooccupied the attention
of the public that few have had their
attention called to the numerous projects Of
? similar character now on foot in various
parts Of the world. 1t would seem that
nations are everywhere looking for new and
shorter routes of commerce, and that. an
area Of ship canals has commenced.

Suez Canal had been deepened 50 as to al

\ correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Gazette says II have used sulphur
more than twenty wears, and with bene-
fit, to prevent rot. Rot is caused by
some insect puncturing the grapes,
whether to deposit their eggs or not, l
don't know, but we presume it is Tor
that purpose; vet never succeeded in
finding any eggs or worms in rotted
grape. Well, Gays one, how do You
know they have beer stung 10y an insect2
Because | have seen the pupCture and "a
Jet OF Juice which had oozed out.
Whenever yOu find grape that is
stung, tie a string to it, (for mark so
as to find it,) and watch the result
After a longer or shorter period it will
turn whitish around the place where
stung, and finally black. and continue
to spread until the whole grape is rotted.
If at any time with a sharp knife YOU
cut out the black spot, the remainder
of the grape will grow and ripen, thus
proving there is no defect in the vine.
Upon this discovery was tased the sui
phur remedy for the rot, being distaste-
full to all the insect tribe Fumigations
with sulphur in the evening is better
than the dust as think the depredators
work at night. have no certain
knowledge OF the enemy, but always
find a few large yellow bugs on the
vines when the grapes are rotting-they
are very shy fellows. Whether friend
or foe | know not, but kill them when
| find them.

what Grant Wants 10 annex

What are the facts as regards the So
called sentiments oil the people OF San
Domingo in favor Of annexation to the
United States? Mr.. Sumner shadows
them in his resolution. Respectable
naval officers, now here, who were at
tached 10 our men Of war in SANTANA
Bay. openly declare that but tor the
pre. ence Of our armed ships, BIez
could not maintain his power a single
day. and that the vote there on the an
nexation proposition was the Verest
farce upon free expression OF opinion.
Nor is there any fact to support the as
sertion that any European power de
sires, or, at all events has given any evil
dence of an intention of etcctng a
loothold in San Domingo. Well aware
that the United States will not permit
any European rover TO obtain n flesh
lootholI on this continent or any OF It's
islands, no nation Of the Old World Is
foolhardy enough to wish TO throw
down the gauntlet. The assertion 10
the contrary is mere smoke, under coy
er OF which it is supposed the Ameri-
can nroiect can be more easily effected
What sort of a population are we
abou, to annex and ennoble with the
title of American citizens 2-and what
sort of a country are we called upon 20
settler The one hybrid people Of a
race essentially different from our own;
the other a opical climate unsulted for
American immigration. We are essen
tally Anglo-Saxons, and the immigrants
from Saxon countries intermingIe with
Ms as our own blood, capable OF learn
ing the duties as well as the privileges
of q republic based upon general educa-
ton, labor and obedience to the law
Is it to such republic we are to invite
the hybrids of the tropics? Must we
record that self.interest, peculiar bene-
fits. or a subservlency to the will OF the
"powers that be" will force upon us a
brotherhood such as now inhaoits

ment which seems to have been permit
ted to exist only to make such govern
ments as that of Mexico respectable by

in the case was to the single point as
