Too Poor.

Moore, of the Rural New Yorker, was
sitting in his office, one afternoon, some
time ago, when II farmer friend camc in
and said
"Mr. Moore, l like your paper, but
times are so hard cannot pay for it,
els that SO, friend Jones? Pm very
sorry to hear that you are so poor; if
you are so hard run / will give you my
paper.'
"Oh, no! l can't take it us gift"
"Wcll, then, let's sec how we can fix
it. You raise chickens, l bclicvc.''
"Ies, a few, but they don't bring
anything, hardly
"Don't they? Neither does my pa

a proposition to make to you. will
continue your paper, and when you go
home you may select from your lot one
chicken and call her mine. Take good
care of her and bring me the proceeds,
whether in eggs or chickens, and we
will call it square,
can right, brother Moore;" and the
old fellow chucklcd ut what he thought
a capital bargain. He kept the contract
strictly, and at the end of the year found
that he had paid about four 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 n
paper since that day.--M0cel Farmer.

The Daricn Ship Canal.

~ New York special, of tho 3lst ult., -,
to the st. Louis Democrat, furnishes
the following intelligence concerning
the surveys in progress, with a vicw to
the construction of a ship canal across
the IsthmuS of Daricn
\ private letter to the Tribune, from
Chcpigana, on the Tuyra River, of
March 10, says can doubts Of the
practicability of constructing II ship
canal across the Isthmus of Daricn have
been dispcllcd. Surveys made from
the Pacific coast during the last month
have proved the Atras Tuyra route to
be perfectly feasible, and l will venture
to say that if within the limits of New
York State a ship canal were to be cut
! through Il country precisely similar to
that which we find here on the Isthmus
of Daricn, it would be open for naviga-
| ton i'll less than eight years. The
length of the proposed canal is less than
! 80 miles. About 30 miles of it will be
through Il country which is apparently
a dead level. The greatest elevation in
the remaining 20 miles will not be over
$50 feet, and it is believed that a poin
in the divide may be found where thcr,
will not be more than 10 or 100 feet il

The ku-klux Folly.

The offensive attitude which the Cen
eral Government has assumed toward
the South with regard to what arc as
serted to be ku-klux outragcs, is Sc
riously affecting the trade interests Of
the North. 1t is not only in the irrita-
ton that the conduct of our misrulcrs
causes the people to feel against them,
but also in the dishcartcning influences
our people feel under the charges of be-
ing violators of law, when it is we'll
understood that there has not been ono
single good citizen in the South in
volvcd in, Or accused of having beer,
guilty of any of the charges preferred
| by the parties who have presented them
to tho consideration of Congress. Sure.
! ly, it is II most base and contcmptiblt
business for our law-givcrs to perpe
tratc insolcnt outrages on these people
simply that political objects may b,
subscrved. The South is an agricultu
raj country, has no interest in politics
and only seeks to peacefully dcvclopt
its resources. The action of our ruler:
seems to be to destroy its usefulness
and in doing SO destroy the most profit
! able sources of income to the national
| treasury and the wealth of northern
| merchants, manufacturers and farmers
If the authorities cannot sec their folly
in prosecuting these people thus, they

Very brave words and true under

Ships Entirely of Iron.

The following paragraph, the gist of
which is taken from an English paper,
is attracting much attention in the
American press:
a prominent English ship builder,
and the founder of a large iron ship
building company, on the river Tyne,
at Il recent meeting of the Iron and Steel
Institute in England, read very inter-
esting paper upon the relative merits
of iron and wood in the construction of
vessels. Among other things, he satis-
fuctorily demonstrated that, in cases of
vessels of one thousand tons burden, Il
ship built of iron will weigh thirty-five
per cent. less than a wooden vessel of
the same measurement, the displace-
ment being the same. The former will
not only carry more weight, but as its
walls are only half the thickness of the
wooden ones, will be enabled to accom-
modate n greater bulk of cargo. In the
iron ship it is possible to reach q far
greater degree of strength, and to build
with longer and finer lines, so that
higher sailing qualities, greater speed
and larger carrying power are attained
as the great commercial results. The
gentleman contended that ship con-
structed with iron is not liable to strain
in II heavy sea, while wooden ones in
this way alone frequently cause the de-
struction Of valuable cargoes. BY the
use of iron masts, steel yards and wire
rigging, he demonstrated that Il great
saving of weight may be effected, and
larger facilities offered for the applica-
ton of improved refining sails and
other Iabor-saving appliances. In fact,
he insisted that such Il vessel could
carry freight at least twenty-five per
cent. cheaper than a wooden one of the
same measurement. His views upon
the subject appear to have been received
with much favor by the members of
the association.

Grant and San Domingo.

In sending to Congress the report OF
the San Domingo Commissioners, the
President accompanied it with a mes
sage, from which we extract the fol-
lowing:
My duty being done, yours begins,
and ! gladly hand over the whole mat
ter to the Judgment Of the American
people and of thcir representatives in
Congress assembled. The facts will be
spread before the country and a decision
rendered by that tribunal, whose con-
victions SO seldom err, and against
whose will I have no policy to enforce.
My opinion remains unchanged. In
deed it is confirmed by the report that
the interests>of our country and of san
Domingo, alike, invite the annexation
Of that Republic.
upon this subject, suggest that no ac-
ton be taken at the present session, be-
yond the printing and general dissent
| nation Of the report. Before the gene
raj session OF Congress, the people will
have considered the subject and formed
an Intelligent opinion concerning it, to
which opinion deliberately made up, it
will be the duty of every Department
of tho Government to give heed and no
ono will more cheerfully conform to it
than myself. 1t is not only the theory
of our Constitution, that the will Of the
people constitutionallye expressed, is the
supreme law, but have ever believed
that all men are wiser than any one
man, and if the people upon full pre-
sentation of tho facts shall decide that
the annexation of the Republic is not
desirable, every Department of the
Government ought to acquiesce in that
decision.

Here is what Il Radical correspondent
writes from Washington
When MassrS. Harris, Morphis, Nc
zee and Pierce, who claimed TO be
elected members of Congress from Mis-
Sissippi, came forward to take the oath,
Mr.. Kerr, of lndi,nn, objected. He
objected on tho ground that these gen
tlCmcn had not been elected, nor did
they hold any certificate shown. such
election, executed by the Governor or
other proper officer of the State of Mis-
sissippi. They claimed to have been
elected on the sOth day of November
and the LIST day Of December, in 1869,
and, in proof of this. exhibited certain
certificates Signed by General Ancs,
military commander of that District.
How such certificates of such an election
could be considered valid, bothcrs one
considerably. IfGcncral Amcs WAS in
command of the State rs Military Gov
crnor, it was certainly not in a condi-
ton to return members of Congress. If,
on the contrary, the State had been re-
deemed, General .imcS could not be in
command.

way in which business is done when it
