THIS little romance, which we do not re-
member to have read before, is from the
Louisville Journal: Twelve months ago
Schuyler Colfax was offered the command of
floating palace on the Wabash canal. He
accepted the munifcent offer, and was to
have retired from politics at the end Of his
present term. A few weeks since a terrific
gale hurled the boat with fatal effect amid
the breakers off Terre Haute, and to-day
Schuyler is candidate for reelection to the
Vice Presidency. Strange, indeed, is the in
fluence which the elements have upon the

CANAL TO CONNECT THE BAY OF FUNDY
WITH ST LAwRENCE.-The waters of the
Bay of fFundy are at one point so near the
Gulf of st. Lawrence that canal twelve
miles long would make aconnection between
them. Such canal, deep enough and broad
enough for the passage of ships, would be Of
immense value to Canada, as it would short

bound to American ports and the West Indies
and save them from the great risks ofa voyage
down the Gulf of st. Lawrence and along the
coast of Nova Scotia. There is one difficulty
in the way-the difference between the tides
of the Gulf of st. Lawrence, rising only five
feet, and those in the Bay, fifty or sixty feet
high, bat engineering skill will easily over

CANADA AND GREAT TBRITAIN.-The Mon
treal Ne1s has another article on the COM
mercial prospects of Canada, in which it
says:
We must be free to regulate our CONNER
cial policy to suit our geographical and polit-
ical life, even to the extent of imposing differ
ential duties. There is no indication that
England will raise objections to our pursuing
any commercial policy in harmony with the
wishes of the country. In proportion as we
grow wealthy by manufacturing under
different customs tariff, so would the volume
of our imports from England annually ex-
pand. There is general desire on the part
of the educated classes in this Province to
escape from sterile discussions about political
distractions and turn their attention to prac-
tical reforms. The census returns startled
those who INDUCED in dreams about our in
crease in population and wealth, and the cry
that comes to us from our native born who
have been driven from home by sheer neces-
sity to seek living in New England factories,
has reused inquiry into the nature of those
causes which force our youth to migrate to
the United States. Half the acrimony and
bitterness of our electoral conflicts arises from
the despair felt at the stagnation and torpor
of industrial life 1t is felt that we cannot
cope with the evil unless we be invested with
the attributes claimed by Australia, ''Free-
dom of commercial legislation and the right
to impose differential duties" 1t would be
affectation to deny that such ideas are spread
ing rapidly throughout this Province. They
are assuming national character, and must
materially affect the Commons elections. We
are all agreed as to the necessity of fostering
native industries so essential to our prosper
ity and political status, though differences ex-
ist as to the policy we should pursue.

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.
Issue only $1s,sO0 per mile.
THE LINE COMPLETED AND IN
SUCCESSFUL OPERATION.
THE LEADING POINTS IN RELATION TO THESE
BONDS ARE AS FOLLOWS: al.i4 ss
sJst. The Stockholders have built first class road
and equipped it in frst-cass manner, mainly acth
their otcn money. q z
I'd. They have built their road through one of the
richest portions of the State where all the old roads
into Chicago earning over $4,000 per mile per
annum, and are paying large and regular dividends.
Sd. They have built the shortest road to the cele-
brated Block Coal Mines, whose products have a
large and increasing market in Chicago, in the manu-
facture of iron. as well as for domestic uses.
4th. The road is done, well equipped, and earning
money, and argument is required, as in most new
enterprises, to show that the Company is able to
build it. l44
9th. The portion Of the road opened for business
last year, earned more than 80 above its in
terest liabilities. 3f
9Th. The amount Of the mortgage is very moderate,
being only about s1s5oo per mile.
7th. While Railroad Bonds may be plenty, those
upon finished nes so certain to pay and for SO small
an amount, are seldom in the market
sth. That as the amount remaining unsold is only
$1,o1s,ooo parties who want them should mako i'm
mediate application.
The Bonds are for 81 900 each have forty years to
rum and bear interest at the rate of per cent per
annum payable on the first of April and October,
both principal and interest being payable in gold in
New York.
We do not hesitate to recommend these Bonds as
unusually safe. They attended with none of the
uncertainties Unprotected enterprises and the prompt
payment of the interest, and the final payment Of
the principal, certain as any future financial
event can well be.
