DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTHERN
STATES BY MEANS OF CANALs.-The
Baltimore American says: !" A Wash
ington dispatch to the Boston Globe
gives the details of brilliant project for
the development of the southern states.
It is a portion of the plan for inland wa
ter transportation advocated by the Presi-
dent in his last inaugural address, and in
feasibility and economy is perhaps the
most advantageous Of any yet advanced.
BY means of short canals, connecting
the various rivers flowing into the Gulf Of
Mexico, near their mouths, steamer
from st. Louis can make the trip from that
place to Savannah without venturing into
the open sea The cost of loading and un.
loading the double freight and expenses
incident to change of merchandise from
one vessel to another will thus be avoid
ed, but what is even more important, the
distance between New Orleans and the
Atlantic coast, near the northern line of
Florida, will be reduced by at least one
half. Compared with this, the plan for
building a canal across the midland por-
tion Of the southern states, direct to the
Mississippi river from the Atlantic coast,
sinks into insignifcance. This latter
route must be disputed by railroad lines,
and the toll, in order to make the invest
ment pay interest, will be so large as to
give it little advantage over locomotion
by steam, which is not the case in the
former scheme.o

The IMPENDING STRIKE IN THE
SCRANTON COAL MINEs.-There is
talk OF renewal Of the troubles in the
Scranton region between the miners and
coal companies. If this unfortunate re-
suit should happen, the coal companies
will be solely responsible for it.. The con-
sumption focal during the summer months
is small, and as the companies have
large stocks on hand, to secure their usu.
al profit next winter they will resort to
reduction of the production. They are
now engaged in shortening the hours of
labor of their men, with the ulterior
design, no doubt. of forcing them to quit
work altogether for season. Phladel-

THE DRoUTH IN NEW ENGLAND,
With only a few exceptions, the drouth is.
steadily increasing all over New England.
There have been but few showers, and
these were of short duration. Farmers
are obliged to water their crops from
barrels in great many localities, which
adds greatly to the cost OF producing. The
hay crop varies greatly, according to the
locality. Potatoes are looking remarkably
well. Corn will turn out very poor unless
there comes some relief from rain. Not
more than half the usual crop of apples is
expected, and other fruits ara greatly
below last years yield.
