a landslip. Hohenems is pretty little town
in the circle of Vorarlberg in the Austrian Ty-
rol. It is builf in valley at the foot of the
schlossberg, . projecting crag of one of the
immense peaks of the Noric Alps which strd
the Tyrol. The SHOWS this year have been
deep in Europe. OF late there have been heavy
rains, and the water courses have been full
These may have loosened the rock, which, fall
ing in huge fragments, covered the valleys be-
meath like waves oflava. The SHATTERED houses
may have been set on fire by the burning wood
in the hearths and ovens.
1T is now currently reported that the
State of Mississippi proposes to pay her debt
repudiated thirty-two years ago, amounting to
twelve millions of six per cent. bonds and the
interest thereon. The twelve millions OF
bonds principal and interest, will amount on
July lst, 1871, to $40, ,446, 900, and interest on
the unpaid coupons will make the total in
debtedness of the State on this account some
thing more than thirty millions. The motive
for this return to virtue, 1t Is charged, Is thai
the legislators, before acting on The matter
bought up the bulk of the repudiated bonds al
merely nominal value, which, if true, s
more Infamous than original repudlation. Ii
should be remembered, however, that the
State of Mississippi always claimed that THESE
bonds, issued by the Union Bank and the
Planters, Bank of that State, on the lalth OF
the State, were never authorized 6y the state'
and w tberafore that there was no ''repudia'
tIonn in the right sense of the word.

the company, which shows the average
monthly receipts to have been about $780,
600, or 81, 100000 for the-yeat. supposing
these figures to be approximately correct, it
is evident that the calculations OF the pro-
.iectors Of the enterprise upon the passage OF
5000, 900 tons of shipping during the first
wear, have not been realized. The transit
toll is ten francs, and at this rate the sum
represented as the receipts from the first
wears traffic of the canal represents only a
tonnage of from five hundred to six hundred
thousand tons. It is. noteworthy fact that
the tonnage following the canal route con-
sists mostly of screw steamers, class Oh
vessels which it seems to have called INTO
existence, since no such steamers were lor-
merly employed in the trade which the canal
WAS built to accommodate. From the mea-
are and unofficial returns now at hand, it is
impossible to tell what was the proportion
of receipts to operating expenses, but If, as
is thought the former have fully covered the
latter. it is not improbable that the increase
of business which may be confidently on
ticipated will, at some future time, yield
moderate dividends to stockholders. The
disturbed condition of Europe has doubt
less had an unfavoreble effect upon the
traffic OF the canal, and, under more favora-
BILE conditions, it may be expected that more
favorable results will be attained.
