a middle aged man talk Of wanting to go to

and advised him to take blue pill. One of

church of such a morbid feeling, Some ami

The Ship Canal.

Mr. Earle, State Senator of Maryland, in an
address to Gen. Humphreys of the War De- |

Maryland Legislature and Gov. Ponder of
Delaware, asking for a detail from the TOpO-
graphical Engineers to make surveys for ship
canal across the Peninsula of Maryland and
Delaware, to connect the Chesapeake and
Delaware Bays, said
'Shall we let the little narrow strip OF land
between these two great bays be longer the
barrier in the way of access to the ocean to
the immense trade OF territory, constituting
in its vastness, a great empire, and which
finds its most valuable outlet to the markets
of the world through the waters of the Chesa-

He claimed Chicago 50 miles nearer to Bal

miles nearer; Louisville, KY, 246 m. nearer !;
! Cincinnati, O., 240 III. nearer and Plttsburg,
| Pa, l04 M nearer, and said:
"1hese statements and these figures, Gen
eral, bespeak more eloquently than any Ian.
guage | can hope to employ, the national
character of the work"
He further stated that there would be a
saving of 1872 miles distance between Baltimore
and the Ocean, equivalent in saving Of time to
Is hours, or about $625 to any EFopean or
Northern port; and thus, at twenty four cross
ings year, the amount saved would by $l5, 200,
half a million of dollars invested in ship.
And again:
Diminished risks secure better terms Of
insurance, and leave larger margins for profits,
, BY the proposed Ship Canal We shall avoid the
hazards of more than one hundred miles OF
coast, and to the pecuniary savings shall add
that which is of lmmeasurably more importance
} the saving, 10 time, of thousands of valuable
lives
