ure of the full route. The projected Canal will
earn a rental of $2O,OOO,OOO, and in order to
build it it is proposed that the Colombian Gov
eminent shall raise a loan of $1G0,000,000, one
half of which shall go to the bare object of
making the Canal Our letter from
Panama describes the route, and
gives It's financial particulars It's general plan
is plausible; yet we feel compelled to say that
if the current Of its enterprise follows the
imaginary course of loan of $lG0,OO0,0OO
to the Coombans, the Canal itself will
never run, the money never flow, unless from
fortuitous causes equal in effect to that Mosaic
rod which made the rock yield waters. Ameri-
can enterprise ought to hold the scepter of
Darien, the rod which can make the credit of
Colombia gush forth, and create stream
between ocean and ocean. We have not
begun a moment too soon to consider what
we shall do in Darien, nor what shall be our
action elsewhere. Do whatever we will, let
us be certain that we shall find obstacles in
the jealousies of other nations; but not the
less prudently and determnedly let us hold
fast to the Americanizing policy.

We have commended the spirit and purpose
of Mr.. Dawes's late speech demanding econ
omy in the National expenditures. We can
in like manner commend much In Cen
Buffers reply to barring the bad
temper-and we heartily wish he may
prove correct in his sangune cphering
of the low amounts of the estimates. We are
even willing to agree with this excellent friend
and admirer of ours, on some points OF postage
on which he would evidently pre-
fer to have difference with
us. We assure him that he Will

carried in the mails, for whatever distance OF
in whatever county, shall pay its equitable

We have by telegraph the first remark
which mas fallen from Prince Arthur which
may be considered as indicating what he
thinks of our country After walking about
Washington, and traversing a great portion of
it. he remarked that Dickens was right in
pronouncing it a city of magnificent distances"
Very nice and fresh, to be sure; but as Wash
ington was thus described by somebody sew
eral years before Mr.. Dickens was born, we
beg leave to assure the reporter that the joke
(or whatever it may be) is extremely ancient,
to which we may add an entreaty that he will
trust to his own admirable natural powers, and
give us a bOn-nOt which shall be wholly original
and worth telegraphng.

The Court reporter of The Cincinnati Gazette
has added another new and beautiful word to
the language. He Informs the world that in the
Court of Common Pleas a certain indictment
was "nollied"-meaning, we suppose, that a
MOL pros. was entered. If reporters generally
follow this precedent, we shall soon have
"to molly" regularly established as an ortho-
dox verb in the newspapers, from which it will
pass, we suppose, into the dictionaries. At this
rate undefiled English will speedily become Il
dead language, and we shall all be speaking
and writing patois as grammarless to read as
it will be frightful to listen to.

Mr.. Low of California, who was lately NOM
mated for the Chinese Mission, who accepted
the nomination, who was confirmed for the
place by the Senate, and who is now on his
way to Pellin to enter upon his duties, made
no complaint we ever heard of that the salary
was too small. But he has hardly got started
for his destination when proposition is made
in Congress to increase his salary. We wish
very much that we could afford to assent to
this proposition, and to others of similar
character now before Congress. But 1T is
stern necessity that compels us to oppose these
demands at this time. Wait till our taxes are
less heavy, and our debt less crushing and
then we will be able to display our liberality.

as husband and father was greater than our
loss in him as a people, we owe debt which
we can never pay. But when we assume his
right to care for them, we have acknowledged
the obligation in the only way that is left us.
There have been many monuments projected
and some buildcd, to the memory OF the mar
tyred President. Until those who were nearest
him are made the Nations honorcd wards, Tor

Mr.. Washburn of Wisconsin, in speaking the
other day of the projected removal of the Cap
ital, told representatives some truths-tbssss2
project meant taking from the people 49,
"aton $1OO,OOOOOO to establish new gssRtal
"and erect public buildings" PleaskS little
sum for our already ax-ridden people to pay !!
Butt said Mr.. Washburn, 1T means more
ethan that; it means $jOOOOO,OOO of private
property in this city destroyed" Without
arguing for or against this great change, we
respectfully suggest that it should be made
only under two conditions: first, that of the
unanimous consent of all the States, and.
secondly, that of freedom from an enormous
and costly National debt. Let us pay what
we owe before we pull down our barns to
build greater.

The groans at the South over the irregu-
larity of tho mails (and at the North and
North West, for that matter) are extremely
plantive. The Selma (Ala.) Times says: Our
"Mobile, New Orleans, and Memphis exchanges
care behind three days out of the week,
"and the Northern and Eastern papers are
equally as irregular" Perhaps this is one
of the blessed results of the Andy-Johnsonian
purgaton of the Post Offices, which was con-

which substantially makes free gift OF the

All the gentle and generous thieves who are
mentioned in history or in fiction become the
fercest of ruffans lin comparison with a thief
in Berlin, Michigan. He entered the house of
poor widow, upon robbery intent, during her
absence. When she came back she found a
note from the thief upon tie table. He con-

that the sight of religious pictures upon the WALL
and of the children sleeping in the beds, had
smitten his conscience and parayzed his thiev-

enough to accept the inclosed amount of fifty

had better give up the stealing business alto

Only two events of striking importance have
occurred of late in the history of the slow
moving, mysteriously working Gcumenical
Council. From week to week we have heard
HAT Archbishop Manning has been working
with quiet depth of zeal for the dogma Of
Infallibility, and that Archbishop Spald-
Ing has almost distanced the Eng
lish prelate in the lead which
he has taken as the prime American partisan
of the POpe's doctrine. So much we hear from
the English newspapers, and the telegraph adds
some doubtful knowledge of the three hundred
Bishops who are thought to be vainly oppos-
ing the overwhelming dogma. Now We have
the more decided news that Bishop Dupan-
loup's letter to the Archbishop of Malines
has been prohibited publication, and
from this circumstance we judge that
the Bishop is totally committed against Papal
Infallibility. The prohibition Of this letter
follows the publication of a protest against
the Infallibility movement by no less person
than Cardinal Rauscher, and the publication
seems TO have occurred before the intended

as it is said quite as Roman as the Romans
themselves, the great dogma of spiritual abso-
lutism may yet be carried.

We notice that petitions for the abolition of
the Franking Privilege still continue to be
presented to the House in great numbers.
The fact that the Post Office Department has
been very busy in promoting this movement
is not in itself entirely satisfactory we should
have preferred q somewhat more spontaneous
popular action; but the folly of transporting
g7atuitOusly iml~ense masses of printed mat
ter which those who really want it would be
willing to pay for, is evidently becoming ap-
parent to the public mind.

Too PooR.-Brother Moore, of the
Rural New Yorker, was sitting in his
Office one afternoon some years ago,
when farmer friend came in and said,
"Friend Moore, I like your paper, but
times are SO hard I cannot pay for it,"
els that so friend Jones? I'm very
sorry to hear that you are so poor and
if you are SO hard run I will give you
my paper"
ooh no! can't take it as gift"
"Well then let's see how we can fix
it. You raise chickens believe ?"
eyes, few, but they don't bring
anything, hardly"
"Don't they7 Neither does my paper
cost anything, hardly. Now 1 have a
proposition to make to you: will con.
tinue your paper, and when you &c
home, you may select from your lot, one
hen, and call her mine. Take good
care of her, and bring me the proceeds
whether in eggs or in chickens, and We
will call it square"
Call right, brother Moore :" aud the
old fellow chuckled at what he though,
was a capital bargain. He kept the
contract strictly, and at the end of the
year found that he had paid about fou
prices for his paper. He often tells
the joke on himself, and says he never
has had the face to say he was too poor
to take paper since that day.

Good Joke.

Good Joke.
While up tho river few days ago says
the Mississippi Democrat, we heard rich
one on some poor fellow whose name has
escaped us. He was padding to Vicks-
burg in dug out, and had been informed
of certain locality called Kicks Bend,
which is eighteen miles around. and in
one place about hundred yards across.
He was advised to land at the narrow
point and drag his craft over, but he pass
cd the spot, going down without observing
it, and padded on eighteen miles around
till he struck it on the other side. Land
ing at once, he dragged his boat across,
and went gliding along down with light
heart until he came within few PAGES of
the same spot where he had dragged
across before. Thinking it was new cut
off, he went ashore and tugged his canoe
over again. When he got back to the
river the second time, he sauntered around
little to stretch himself, and soon discov-
cred an old newspaper, out of which he
had taken his breakfast that morning.
1t was now about shutdown, and as he had
padded thirty-six miles without any
aattering progress, he scuttled his dug-out
with Ratchet, built a camp, and waited
till next day for steamboat.

Good News for the Ladies.

We clip the following from the Detroit
Mechanic and Inventor:
The COOP TINE CoME.-The patent so
long held by Wheeler & Wilson for the
four motion feed sewing machine, has at
last expired, and an extension has been
refused. The day has gone by when a
machine costing but from SIS to $50 can
be sold at from $50 to $l25. We see that
the American Shuttle Sewing Machine
Company of Detroit are FIRST Ia the field
with machine embodyinp all the hest
features Of the most costly article. and
while their machines are, in eyerv nart;c.
ular, as perfect in their adaptation to all
classes Of work as the Wheeler & Wilson
Grover q Baker, and Singer, they are now
disposing Of them at prices ranging from
$50 to $40. This is certainly an immense
reduction, and its effects are already to be
seen by the large orders received, and the
largo shipments being made daily by the

japanese Carpenters.
The Japanese carpenters arc ingenious
workmcn, and their work is done with
marvellous ncatness. A curious feature
of their houses is, that they do not contain
q nail, all the joints and timbers being
dovetailed together by many ingenious
devices; and the whole work even to the
rafters, is as smooth as if it had been
polished down with sandpaper. And the
Japanese are neat people for they use no
paint to hide any blemishes Of construc-
ton or ornamentation-no filigree work or
Plaster of Paris gew-gaws, but every stick
in the building is exposed. Every morn
ing as regularly as she cooks the break
fast or sweeps the floor, The Japanese
housewife takes wet cloth and scours the
whsle interior of the dwelling leaving no
part untouched, and no stain or dirt spot
to mar its clcanly appearance. Then the
Japanese do not come into the house with
muddy boots, after the style of the Ameri-
can sovereign; but having covered the
floor with neat mating, always remove
the dirty sandals before stepping upon it..
I stood and watched the Japanese carpen-
tiers at their work for some minutes, and
noticed their peculiar movements. The
Japanese carpenters work towards him,
that is instead of showing the plane from
him, he reaches out, sets the plane upon
the board at arms length, and pulls it
towards him, and he cuts, saws and chops
in the same way. His saws are fixed in
handles like butchers cleaver, and the
teeth slant or rake toward the handle.
The planes are constructed like ours, but
the wooden portion is very thin and.
The adze is fastened to the end of hoop
ed stick, like the handle of one of the
crooked canes worn on the arm on our
streets and although their tools are
different from ours, yet cannot observe
that they are awkward in appearance or
or awkwardly handled.

SINGULAR PHENOMENAL remark
able state of affairs exists about two
miles out of Saratoga, in northerly
direction. Geographically, the district
is slightly elevated table land, the soil
sandy loan. The surface is broken
and undulated. 1t is good farming
district. On this strip Of table land,
covering an area of mile broad by two
miles in length, have appeared this
Spring ten or dozen good sized ponds,
varying in size from an acre to six or
seven acres in extent. A popularity of
these ponds is, that they appear in spots
that have hitherto hardly known pud-
die, and in some instances In fields
where the farmer has been wont to
reach his richest harvests. In addition
to the appearance Of these ponds, the
wells and cellars of the residents all
through this particular section have
been and are at present flooded from
one to three feet deep. The wells have
from five to seven feet of water in them
more than was ever known before.

How TO KEEP IcE.-A contemporary
gives the following receipt for keeping ice
long while, which may be of interest !:
CHOW that ice IS high, it is worth while to
know how to keep a small piece good
while. Make double pocket of strong
wooden cloth, no matter how coarse or
faded it is. Have space of two inches
OF so between the inner and outer pockets,
and pack this space as full as possible Of
feathers. You have no need to use geese
feathers, hens feathers are just as good.
With q pocket thus constructed and keep
closely tied at the mouth, few pounds Of
ice may be kept week.
