The James River.

A recent report to the City Council
of Richmond, Va, gives detailed ac-
count of the operations for the improve
ment of the navigation of James River.
On this work, up to July 1st, 1871, there
had been expended $57, ,483, and 34,78O
cubic yards of material had been
dredged up and secured behind dykes.
A depth of channel-way of fourteen
feet had been secured, and two danger
Gus snags, four heavy logs, and seven
stones weighing one ton, and five weigh
ing half ton, had been removed from
the bed of the river. The engineer in
charge suggested that the improvement
should be continued until a depth of
fifteen feet of water from Richmond to
the sea shall be secured. In reference
to the work accomplished by the United
States, Lieutenant-Co Colonel VIM. P.
Crighill reports that the sunken vessels
near Drewry's Bluff have been raised,
giving channel of $50 feet wide and Is
feet deep at low water. At Warwick's
the wrecks of three schooners, at Grave
yard Beach the wrecks of the Gallego
and Plumie, and below Aikens about
forty piles have been raised. At Drew
RVS Bluff, the remainder of the steamer
jamestown, the steamer Virginia, the
steamer Fredericksburg, the steamer
Beaufort, the schooner Wythe, the brig
Marcus, and parts of several stone cribs
have been removed, as well as fifty piles
at Wilton At Dutch Gap the cutoff
will soon be completed, giving a width of
100 feet and depth of Is feet at high
water. A channel 125 feet wide and Is
feet deep will also be opened through
the rock at Rockets.

Shipping Cities by Railroad.

Some weeks since allusion was made
in the Chicago papers to the inaugura-
ton in that city of new enterprise on
large scale-the building of ready
made houses for shipment to the sparse
ly settled districts Of the interior, where
skilled labor is scarce and the facilities
for house building meagre. 1t now ap-
pears from the Chicago press that the
enterprise has proved an immense sue
cess. The Tribune of late date con-
tains the following
In visiting the new harbor at South
Chicago we noticed three of the cars of
the Union Pacific Railroad Company
loaded with four complete two-story
dwellings, containing seven rooms each,
with partitions, stairs, doors, windows,
sash and casing, roofs, and trimmings
for doors and windows complete, and
which can be placed in complete condi-
ton for occupancy in two hours after
being unloaded from the cars. This is
the first shipment on an order for two
hundred dwellings given to the South
Chicago Building Company. The build
ings are constructed under a patent,
and are furnished in every variety, and
at prices that give them an attraction
and merit over any other buildings now
used for the accommodation of popula-
ton in new localities.

The Agricultural Resources of the
North West. y.

The region of country through which
the North Pacific railroad is to run, or
we may say now runs-for to certain
extent its running is an accomplished
fact-has been considered as outside of
the agricultural regions. A better ac-
quaintance with the resources and cli-
mate of the country opened up to
settlement by this great thoroughfare
shows that with some exceptions it is
capable of producing fine crops of
wheat and grass. These exceptions are
not climatic, but are caused by the bro
ken and rocky nature of the surface,
and they exist mainly within short
distance of the shore of Lake Superior,
An acquaintance of some years dura-
ton with the, Lake Superior region
gives us the ability to say that even on
the high grounds thousand feet above
the level of the lake, wheat, oats, and
rye have been successfully grown. Tur-
nips flourish as well or better than in
Canada, and grass is always a very
abundant crop. Timothy is peculiarly
at home, and the native bluejoint
covers all the low grounds and river
bottoms with a heavy growth. Further
west the climate becomes milder, the
winters are less severe, and the snow
falls more moderately. The Red River
region south and even north of Pembi-
ma, and westward to the Rocky Noun
tains, is a fine wheat and grazing
country, and its capacity in this respect
is likely soon to be made available.

Lord John Russell.

Anybody who ever saw Lord John
Russell might well believe he was des-
tined to reach the age of Methuselah.
He is little, weazen-faced, nithered,
shrunken-up old chap, and in his big
baggy clothes reminds one of hazel
nut shriveled in It's shell. But he is as
full of life as an egg is of meat, and per-
haps one of the most remarkable proofs
of this vitality is the vigor with which
he habitually uses his nasal organ just
before rising to speak. After having
taken several reefs in an enormous BAN
dana handkerchief, he envelopes his
nose in Its folds, applies both hands,
and gives such an unapproacbable blast,
accompanied by spasmodic movement
of the whole body, that it seems as if
his little frame would fly apart in all
directions, from the sheer violence of
the convulsion. When he-sits down he
retires beneath the shadow of a broad
brimmed hat, cocks his knees up against
the desk or table in front of him. buries
his head in his breast, end to all appear
ance becomes the very embodiment of
profound resignation.

BY WILL NJ. cARLEToN.

With the sunlight, with the moonlight, with the
starlight sweet and golden,
Come to us thousand memories that are true
q and sweet and olden; .,.s.
And we enter in the chambers Of our hearts so
gladly lighted, ear IS
And with blooming hopes we cover all the Joys
that care hath blighted
And encouraged and rejoicing. go forth upon
our way.
With the midnight with the storm cloud, with
the darkness fiercely scowling,
With the rattling of the rain-dr0ps, and the tenn
pests dreary bowling,
Thro' our weary hearts, in darkness, we go hat
ing, stumbling, cropping, 5rI.
While despair is hard upon us, and cen covers
up our hoping
And in sadness and in silence for gleam of light
we pray.
Then we yearn and call for comfort; but no COM
fort comes unto us,
And we wrap ourselves in sadness, and despair
goes thrilling through us
And the darkness gathers round u.s. with its hor-
rors half unspoken,
And we pray again for succor, that the dreary
spell he broken
With the light of something shining, be it only
but one ray. tH3f4 ltuIgp
Then within our hearts blossom from the dreary
mold is springing,
Then the birds of hope make music with their
sweet and cheerful singing;
Then, upon the great clouds gazing, we discern
their silver lining, A'H
Until through the veil of darkness bursts the
beams glorious shining,
And our longing eyes are greeted with the brigh
and perfect day. lChicogo Tribune.

1t is now no unusual thing to see
potatoes and other crops planted on the
strips of land by the side of railroads.
When we reflect how much land could
be added to the acres already under
cultivation by utilizing these strips be-
tween the road bed and the fences, the
plan seems both economic and desira-
BILE. Throughout England, we learn
from correspondent of one of the dai-
ly papers, gardens along the sides of
railways are the rule instead of the
exception. The space between the track
and the fences on both sides is either
seeded down to grass or laid out as a
vegetable garden, unless too steep to
hold soil. Often the name of the sta
ton was marked out on the bank in
colored stones or in Towering plants; or
the letters cut out of the sod, and the
borders so made are gay with flowers or
green with vegetables. oIf this plan
were more generally followed in this
country it would not only insure to the
benefit of railroad employees, but would
give pleasing variety to belts OF LAND
which now are generally given over to
weeds or any wild plant which will grow
on them.
