Horrible Death.

On Friday night, March 4, the peaceful
and quiet neighborhood of Byhalia, in
Marshall county, was considerably ex-
cited by the report that Mrs. Fitzhugh, a
very worthy and estimable lady, had, in
a fit of mental alteration, wandered off
from her home, ard could not be found
The news was swiftly borne from house
to house, and by ten o'clock the whole
neighborhood was in state of commo-
ton Men and boys, regardless of color,
turned out en- mGSse, to search for the
poor unfortunate wanderer. The search
was continued all Friday night, and on
Saturday and Sunday. The creeks had
been greatly swollen by the rains of
Friday night, and it was feared that
Mrs f had fallen into the water and
was drowned On Monday morning
large hooks were made, and the neigh
boring branches were thoroughly drag
ged But no traces were seen of the
missing woman. On Tuesday morning
she was found dead in dense briar
thicket. Her clothes were much torn,
and it was evident she had fallen from
exhaustion, and had frozen to death.
Mrs. Fitzhugh was a consistent Chris
tian, an affectionate wife, kind, indul-
gent mother, and a highly respected
neighbor. She leaves an afflicted hus-
band, five children and many friends to
mourn her death. May God comfort
them in their bereavement. = Holly

To obviate the inconvenience Of being

points of the Boulevards and other parts
of the city where the stream of traffic is

crowded Paris thoroughfares. The en-
trance TO these underground galleries is
to be through elegant hosks, and the
descent and ascent viii be accomplished
BY means Of as few steps as possible.

penses connected with their construction
and maintenance being provided by the

The Suez CanaI-Opinion of n Lead
ing Engineer.

[ The following is an extract from Q
private letter recently written by lead
ing American engineer at Port Said. His
views regarding the success and capacity
of the canal are entitled to serious con
sideration:
i have just passed over the great
Suez Canal We left Suez yesterday
morning, after passing a day there.
cannot say the canal commercially is a
success. Financially, so far as the pres
ent stockholders are concerned, it can
not be. 1t has cost in cash four hundred
million francs (eighty million dollars
which, for one. hundred miles of canal is
too large sum to pay dividends upon.
If the Company charge very high rate
for vessels passing through, it would de-
ter many from coming this way. Only
light freights could afford it, and that
would furnish but small tonnage, Cot
ton from India is the great bulk of
the return traffic, which would continue
to go round the Cape Of Good Hope.
The canal will become the joint property
of all the governments interested in the
trade that would pass through it, they
paying the stockholders a fair price for
the canal, and thereafter make it pub
lie highway, charging only sufficient
tolls to keep it in good working condi-
ton, which / am pleased to find will re-
quire very much less than has been rep
resented. / thought the drifting sand
would continue to fill up the canal.
This is not the case. The entire canal,
or very nearly so, is excavated below the
level of the country on either side, hence
the entertainments are very wide and
high, and serve as protection against
the drifting sand, as well as a bulwark
strong enough to prevent breaches in
the embankments. The harbors at either
end are admirably constructed for the ac-
commodation of the immense business the
canal is destined to do. The water is at
present twenty-five feet throughout, and
will soon be twenty-five, with width of
fifteen hundred feet, and more in many
places. There is not a lock of any de-
scription on the canal, from the Mediter-
ranean to the Red Sea, or Gulf of Suez.
There is no obstruction of any kind. The
water of the two seas is about the same
hight--the tides affecting the canal only
for the distance of few miles at either
end / repeat that, in my judgment, as
a canal and railroad man, this canal is
great success, and will mark an era in
the history of the world. / regret our
Government did not order one or more
vessels of war to represent us here. All
other nations were thus represented at
the opening. We had some fine ships
very near here.

An Englishman in Paris had a narrow
escape, not long since, from frighttul
death. TRANQUILITY contemplating the
city from the top Of the VendOme column
he did not notice a man, seemingly
peaceable enough, standing close behind
him. Suddenly the fellow started for
ward. clasping the Briton round the
waist. and exclaimed: 4" bet / throw you

The Englishman, looking at him, and
finding out that he had TO deal with a
madman. with admirable presence OF
mind replied. at the same time tighten
ing his grasp on the balustrade, " II you

How the Northern Pacific Railroad
Proposes to People it's Immense
Land Grant.


Land Grant.
The St, Paul Press announces that ex-
Secretary Mccullough, Senator Carl
Schurz, and Ex-Governor Marshall, of
Minnesota, have been selected, and will
be invited by the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company to go to Europe on a mis-
sion to organize and stimulate emigra-
ton to the line of the road and the settle
ment of its lands, on plan more COM
prehensive and extended than any here
tofore devised. The company own every
alternate section in belt forty miles
wide. from the head of Lake Superior to
the Pacific Ocean, equivalent to strip
twenty miles wide, in all between thirty
and forty million acres of land-a terri
tory greater in extent than all New Eng
land, and capable of sustaining five or
six millions of people. They have al
ready arranged with German capitalists
for all means necessary to the construc-
ton of the road with the largest force
they can employ. They propose to offer
to every migrant in Europe abundant
employment in building the road for the
first year or two after his arrival.
Whether they assist him in his passage
here is not stated. When be has finish
ed his work for the company he is to
have farm Of 40, so or 100 acres, with a
neat frame dwelling ready erected there
on, and lot of reasonable size fenced
in, all at the expense of the company:
The terms of payments are so long, and
on slow interest, that they cannot prove
burden to the poorest. 1t is expected
that the surplus wages received for CON
structing the road will stock the farm
and provide the tools, so that every per
son employed in the construction of the
road may as soon as it is. finished, go to
raising the crops, which it will bring to
market. The company will manufacture
the houses by the thousand exactly
alike like the parts of Springfield rifle
or Elgin watch, so that each piece ofany
one structure will fit in the correspond
ing piece of any other. They expect, in
this manner, to secure an abundant and
immediate supply of cheap labor, and to
Immediately enhance the value of their
lands by the rapid settling up of the line
of their road.
The present is peculiarly favorable
time for inaugurating such an enterprise,
in view of the distressed condition of
the laboring class in England and other
parts of Northern Europe, and the nni-
versal desire Of the European working
classes to get to America by all means
within their reach.

Mining Reports and Prospects in
California;.

San Francisco (says the Bulletin) is
swarming with men gathered from such
portions of the mining region as cannot
be worked in winter, with agricultural
laborers waiting for the spring season to
open, and with mechanics who are not
wanted during temporary depression.
The city is the general rendezvous of the
unemployed, many of whom are ready
for adventure or anxious for work
Hence there is danger of mining STAN
pede, should specially favorable accounts
of mineral discoveries reach us from any
quarter. There is every reason to ap-
prehend such an event without any well
authenticated accounts. Peace river
and San Diego have already started a
few hundred, and favorable reports from
nearer districts will attract few who
are not enchanted solely by what is dis
tant
The San Diego strike is probably as
rich as reported, but there is no reason
to believe that the mines are extensive
enough to warrant a large emigration.
The great pocket finds in various dis
tricts in California have never indicated
extensive lodes Of general richness, and
if the San Diego discovery shall only re-
suit in the development Of a score or so
Of moderately paying mines, that will be
as much as we can reasonably expect,
and will be sufficient cause for rejoicing,
though it may fail to meet the hopes Of
excited adventurers.
Nevada seems to offer a good field for
men seeking employment % xagcs, as
well as for those having means enough
TO erect mills for smelling works, or to
extract the ores there so abundant with
a view TO shipping them to this market.
Mining labor is also said TO be in demand
in Idaho, where is still a chance to ind
placer diggings that will pay small wages.
On the middle fork Of the Boise river,
miners are getting SIX dollars a day m
