James River & Kanawha Canal.

The New York Herald favors the project of
the completion of this Canal by the Federal
Government. This scheme contemplatas the
surrender By the State of Virginia and West
Virginia of their interest in this improvement
on the conditions that it be completed by the
Federal Government, and, after it had paid for
the Government expenditure, to be made a
highway free Of all tolls except such as are
necessary to keep it in repair This canal has
been completed to Buchanan at an expense OF
$40. 436 $780, This project. heretofore publish
ed, was submitted to the President by delega
ton from Virginia, aud it is said that he ex-
| pressed himself favorable to it, The Herald
says:
There can be no doubt that the open
| ing up Of this great and free water highway
would greatly Increase the productiveness and
prosperity of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys
and would also immensely enhance the trade
of New York and ell our seaboard cities. In
time of war such work as It is now proposed
the government shall take free of cost and COM
plete would be of the greatest military value,
and in this view has long since attracted the at
teution OF our chief military engineers. In the
event. Of hos.llltles with any naval Power of the

completion Of the trans-A1eghaoy Canal must
commend itself to the Judgment Of the whole
country, and as an admirable initiation of the
new progressive policy of the government as
foreshadowed by Presidential suggestion"
SUccoR THE HELPLESS The Harrisonburg

Legislature, its duty to provide, according to
the English law against the selling Of in pure

The cup that cheers but does not inc.

glish physician, is-just as poisonous as
the cup which both cheers and inebri
atcs. The doctor is quoted in the Lance:
as declaring that tea-tippiing is not q
whit less dangerous to health than dram.
drinking: Tea is narcotic poison. II
ruins the digestion. 1t enfeebles the
hearts actions. 1t skaters the nerves.
It causes the introduction of large
quantity Of hot water into the system,
thus interfering terribly with nutrition.
Tea drinking (to US the awfu! language
of DR.. Arlidge) is "as distinctly sensual,
extrayagant and pernicious as beer
drinking or gin-swilling." Think o.
