Of construction q pair of engines
which will be the most powerful in
the world Reducing the capacity of
some Of the largest pumping engines
to a uniform lift of one foot high in
twentv-f0ur hours, it is found that
the one at the Lehigh-Oinc Mines
will lift 3,456, 100000 gallons: the
pair at the Chicago Water-works,
$500. 600, eco gallons the pair at
Haarlem. Holland, 10000. 900, 900

gines will, il is presumed, lift a.
240, 900, 600 gallons The pair will
weigh 1900 tons, and will cost Si23.-
$50. The following dimensions will
serve TO give some idea Of its magni-
tude: Cranks, 9 tons; shaft, "a

Ii i a little singular how well a

Cast a Line for Yourself

4 young man stood hstlessly

He was poor and detected At last,
approaching a basket well filed with
wholesome looking fish, he sighed:
Il know if / had those l would be

price and buy my food and lodgings "
Il will give you as many and as
good fish +" said the owner. who
CHANGED to overhearhis words, ''ifyou

And what il that p asked the
other eagerly.
Only tend to this line TIL I come
back; wish to go on a short er-
rand"
The proposal was gladly accepted.
The old man was gone 50 long that
the young man began to be impa-
tient. Meanwhile the hungry fish
snapped greedily at the bated hook,
and the young man lost his depres-
sion in the excitement Of pulling
them in !: and when the owner Of the
line returned be had caught q large
number. Counting out from them
as many as was in the basket, and
presenting them to the young man.
the old fisherman said:

you have caught, to teach yOu that

what YOU need, TO waste no time in

we're so destructive last year. We
shall await information from those

following was one:
Resolved, That while not under

upon the fact that property not
founded upon labor title is rob-

Among unthriity workmen, the least
popular Of all Is he who saves ac-
cumulates and improves his condi'

rIIg aRrAT wEsrERN cAIaAL,

M The following paragraph con-
eludes an article from the Boston
Journal Of Commerce on the late
Canal Convention in Atlanta and
the great Canal project. OF course
we must not forget that it has an in
terest against Southern Canals and
Railroads connecting the West and
south, as they might greatly affect
the channel of trade:
sBut further developments were
made concerning Frobel's corpora
ton 1t was ascertained that a
company had been chartered, route
determined, and capital designated,
10 build canal This company
propose to 90 TO work on Congress
to endorse their bonds and guaran-
tee the interest on the same, in re-
turn for which they within Union
Pacific style---giye them first
mortgage, which can be foreclosed
by thirty days notice. ~ is not
known whether the stock has been
paid for, as in the case of the Credit
| Mobilier, and, to judge from the dis :
inclination Of one of the corporators
to answer inquiries touching this
matter, the company have their Sc
crets. which they do not care to be
made public
The minority report resulted en-
tircly from these and other sus,
picious developments. That there
was a canal ring was sure; that
these canals, if il the hands Of cor
porations, could become powerful
monopolies. was noted, that, il the
Government were to loan its
credit, or in any way aid corpora
ton to own and run transportation
route, it had better own and control
what could not have been created
but for its interierence--was also
felt. And although this reporf ~as
defeated, lae sentiment twen-s four
hours later was entirely in ils favor.
Credit Mobiler and iings were
scented as being behind and running
the convention. and many an honest
man realized how he had travelled
to Atlanta 20 give life to a powerful
monopoly and Credit MobiIicr swim

| Ii is about time that some line in
the matter OF subsidies was drawn
. some expression made Of the in
dignation Of the people at the squan-
dering of the nations wealth on rail-
road and other corporations If we
arc to have the Atlantic and Great
Western Canal, land is the only ca
nal project that partially recon-

own it, must build it to traverse
sections Of the country where it will
do the most good, and must control
it at rates only sufficient to pay the
running expenses. In Europe, ca,
nails are run by Government, and if
the people are to aid in their con-
struetion in any way, the people
should run them, We want no
more Credit Mobilier swindles. No
corporation must intervene between
the people and the custodians of
their wealth. Col. Frobel and his
fellow corporators should remember
that private capital is open to profit
