cluse, has been for many years under consider
alton, and at last the minister of public works
has granted credit of a small amount for the
necessary preliminary steps to be taken to carry
out the plans of NJ. Aristide Dumont engineer
in chief of Points ct ChdUssees, who proposes TO
cut canal for irrigation from the Rhone at
Condrieu, TO Mornas.
The length of the canal from its source to
Mornas will be about one hundred and twelve
miles; all the towns BY which il passes can be
supplied with water, and it is anticipated that
many new factories will spring up in conse-
quence. From a reservoir at MOrnas, the canal
passes to the right bank of the Rhone by means
of sphon aqueduct. After passing Uyes
through a tunnel more han three miles long,
it reaches Montpelier at the height of $50 feet
above the level of the sea, irrigating the whole
OF the environs of this town by means Of
numerous channels which will distribute the
water over the vast plains, which suffer terribly
and frequently from drouth, that lie between
Montpelier and the sea.
The amount of water to be taken from the
Rhone at its lowest level is set down at SO tons
per second, but during about half the year the
volume Will be increased to 40 or 45 tons. The
distribution is calculated in the following pro-
portions: 20 tons for agricultural irrigation, 10
for irrigation in the vicinity of towns, and tons
for evaporation and loss.
The great Importance of this canal consists in
the fact that while in the summer all the other
"
Rhone, being fed by the snow and glaciers of
the Alps, pourS a grand stream into the sea,
which would make the fortune Of agriculture.
At extreme low WATER this noble river passes
Lyons at the rate of 235 tons per second, Tournon
at the rate of 80 tons, Valence at 410, Avignon
at 450, and Beaucuire at the rate of $50 tons
per second. AT average states of the river, the
flow at the spot where the canal is to commence
is equal to more than 600 tons per second. There
is little fear then OF eXhausting such a supply
this, and it is asserted that the abstraction of
he volume of water above named will have no
effect, even upon the shallowest parts.
The estimated cost of this important work is
equal TO ten millions of dollars for the forma-
ton of the canal and its distributing conduits,
and the time required for its execution is three
years. The great height of the source of this
proposed canal will allow the irrigation to be
carried to poor dry lands on the slopes of the
hills, and thus greatly increase their value, and
the author of the plan sets down the increased
value of such lands at about sixty dollars.
Grand as this scheme is there is nothing extra
ordinary or even novel in it; the canal Of the
Muzza takes n tons of water per second from
the AIDA, and the grand canal of the Techno
As tons per second from that river. The great
quantity of water proposed to be taken from
the Rhoue will require the canal to be very little
larger than an ordinary one for navigation.

Political Notes.

Mr.. Henry Bernstein, formerly editor and
proprietor of the St. Louis Anzeiger deS IVES
tens one of the leading German Journalists in
the United States, has written letter from
Vienna TO the Cincinnati Volksblatt, in which
he expresses the opinion that General Grant is
clearly preferable to Greeley.
The republicans in Arkansas are growing
more hopeful. Many of the liberals are getting
disguised with the movement and abandoning
it, the democrats are in a quarrel, and their
convention adjourned without either nominat-
ing ticket or endorsing the liberal ticket. The
modest attempt of the liberals to officer the
whole party meets with decided opposition, and
it is believed that if the republicans nominate
popular ticket it will draw TO ii support enough
to secure its election.
Nov. 10th, 1868, G. W. Wooley, a somewhat
noted Ohio democrat, wrote eomplainingly OF
Horatio Seymour, because the New York demo-
Gratis had done more for Indiana in the cam
paign than for Ohio He let out some secrets
of the democratic canvass, in Indiana, as fol-
lows: "The reSdt was that the state of New
York. according to a statement made to me by
Mr.. Bingham, the chairman of our state central
committee, contributed $500 to carry the great
state OF Ohio in October that it might 20 toyou
in November, and sent $4,000 to the state of
Indiana, when they knew that $685. 900 had been
raised in Kentucky for Hendricks, and 10000
voters imported from that state to aid in sccur-
ing his election"
The Ohio State Journal in considering reform
ers, drops an incidental remark like this: Jim
Steadman owes the government little balance
on account of over 100000. He wants reform,
he wants 1t badly, he wants it like the Indiana
man kept tavern"
Hon. Mason W. Tappan of Bradford, n. H.,
who is to entertain Mr.. Greeley soon, has writ
ten a letter TO a friend, stating his reasons for
supporting the Cincinnati nominations.
Congressman FarnswOrth of Illinois thought
he saw the signs of a coming food in the bogus
announcements of democratic victory in North
Carolina, and so has Topped over to Greeley. So
has Tom Alvord Of the New York legislature
who has !long been regarded as Tammany
republican. They should have waited for Off
cial returns
When Senator Sumner made his charge against
President Grant that he was great quarreler a
lady upon hearing ii quietly remarked: ellis vile
has been able to live with him for nearly thirty
years, and they seem to he getting along very
pleasantly and happily together"

The Oneida Circular describes a visit to the
Oneida community by young Russian woman
who has come TO this country TO study the "wo-
man movement" Her name is Catharine Dikho-
va, and she was introduced by Mr.. A. Brisbane.
Miss Dikhova is the daughter of princess, and
her father is general Of artillery in st. Peters
burg. This young Russian lady, though not
yet twenty-one, is very talented and highly ed
ucated. 1t is but four months since she began
speaking English, and she now converses quite
huenty, comprehendng readily everything said
to her. She is mistress of seven languages
Russian, Polish French, German, Greek, Latin,
and English. She graduated with high honorS
at lKasan when sixteen. She received at that
time the badge of her majesty, which
gives to her power to appeal to the
emperor for any favor; also the privilege of
attending court balls She is one among only
four women who have been honored by her maj
esty's badge during the last forty years, as it Is
only awarded to those who display extraordna-
ry talent and proficiency. Not satisfied with the
amount of education she had received and there
being no schools in Russia where she could pur-
sue the higher branches she employed private
tutors, devoting the following four years to the
study OF mathematics and physics, and was ex-
amiued by the faculty at Moscow. She is
poetess, novelist and correspondent Of a
monthly journal published in St. Petersburg.
She came to this country for the purpose Of
studying the woman movement here, examining
the medical colleges for women, ETC., with view
TO assisting her own countrywomen. She was
the first TO appeal TO the emperor to open col.
leges to women. She intends starting woman's
journal when she returns to st. Petersburg.

Connecticut people are about to feel the in6u-
ence OF new law regulating the sale Of intoxi-
eating drinks The old prohibitory law has
for years remained a dead letter on the statute
books, and in a majority of the towns and all
the cities Of the state the traffic in spirtuous
liquors and beer has been carried on win
great freedom and little lmolestation from
the authorities. The new law, therefore. which
goes into force in about six weeks, will. if en-.
forced, produce an overturnng among dram
shop keepers and drive away many Of them
from the trade BY It's terms no one In the
state can engage in the trade wholesale or re-
tail, without FIRST procuring license from the
board Of county commissioners, for which they
shall pay sum ranging from 500 to $500, at
the discretion Of the commissioners. But the
ability 10 pay such license money win not
alone procure the right to sell; for by the law
the commissioners are forbidden to grant "a
any license without first having obtained a

HISTORICAL LESSONS FROM A BRICK.-Who
would suppose that an humble brick could be
capable of imparting valuable and important
information, even to corroborate the sacred
writings? But an Austrian savant has dis
covered, by means of a microscope, in a stone
taken from the pyramid of Dashour, many in
teresting particulars connected with the life of
the ancient Egyptians. The brick itself is
made of mud of the Nile, chopped straw, and
sand, thus confirming what the Bible and
Hcrodotus have handed down to us as to the
Egyptian method of bnck-making. Besides
these materials, the microscope has brought
other things to light-thc debris of river shells,
of fish, and of insects, seeds of wild and cult
waited flowers, corn and barley, the field pea,
and the common fax, cultivated probably both
for food and textile purposes, and the radish,
with many others known to science. There
were also manufactured products, such as frag-
ments of tiles and pottery, and even small
pieces of string made of fax and sleeps wool.
1t has been truly said that the antiquities OF
Egypt "have not only confirmed Scripture his
tory in the most complete manner, but revealed
such subtitle harmonies of geography, habits,
manners, customs, and language. as prove that
that history must have proceeded from contem-
porary writer's"

The MIKADo CoMING.-The San Francsc

HE MIKADo CoMING.-The San Francisco
Call of July 31st says:
"The somewhat remarkable rumor which has
been atioat for some time, % the effect that the
mikado or emperor of Japan intends visiting
Europe and the United States is confirmed in
the news received at this port by the arrival of
the Pacific mail steamship cOmpany's steamer
Colorado. The mikado first contcmpates an
extended journey through his own dominions,
the route OF which is published in Japanese
paper, so that it will proably be some
time before he is able to carry out his
design of foreign travel. He will first
visit France-presumably by the Suez route
thence other portions Of Europe; and cross
ing the Atlantic, pay his respects to the
people on the Atlantic slope; after which we
may expect him at San Francisco, from which
point he will embark on his way home. This
visit is suggested to the mikado by the evil
dences he has had of late years OF the superior
civilization of the occidental portion of the
world, and the extremely cordial reception with
which his embassy has everywhere been met.
The glowing accounts they write him of the
unthought of wonders to be seen abroad, have
doubtless filed his youthful mind with desire to
look abroad himself into the great world, from
which he may derive valuable lessons of instruc
ton. Japan, now so eager in the race of pro-
gress, would profit greatly hereafter by the
emperors experience thus obtained; sand he
proves himself wise ruler to have adopted so
sensible conclusion. His reception, beyond a
question, will be everywhere cordial and in
Keeping with the dignity he represents.
