of his best speeches that night, There

explained his connection with that
affair.
We have talked freely with many

Hancock's vote on that question, and
we can truthfully say that all who

THE CoLoRs OF BIRDS WINGs.-It would
be an error to suppose that all the exquisite
metallic shades which diaper the feathers of
birds and the wings of butterflies arise from
pigments; it was a dream of the alchemstssto
try to extract them. The sole cause is the
play of light, fugitive as the sparkles of the
diamond. When the beautiful feathers on
the breast of a humming-bir are examined
under the microscope it is astonishing to see
none ofthe shades the mystery of which you
would penetrate. They are simply made of a
dark-brown opaque substances not unlike
remarkable arrangement; the barb of the
feather, instead of being a iringed stem, Of
fers series of small squares of horny sub
stance placed point to point. These plates,
OF lnhnitesimal size, are extremely thin,
brown, and, to all appearance, exactly alike,
whatever may be the reflection they give.
The brilliant large feathers of the peacock
are the same; the plates are only at greater
distance, and of less brightness. They have
been described as SO many little mirrors, but
that comparison is not correct, for then they
would only give back light without coloring
it. Neither do they act by decomposing the
rays which pass through them, for then they
would not lose their iris tints under the mi
croscope. Il is to metals alone that the me-
tallic plumage of the humming-birds can be
compared; the effects of the plates in fea-
ther are like tempered steel Or crystallzed
bismutb. Certain specimens emit colors very
variable under different angles, the same scar
let feather becoming, when turned to ninety
degrees, a beautiful emerald green.-Populdr

highway to the seaboard, and from thence by
steam or sail to Great Britain and Ireland and
the continent of Europe. By means of such
combination it is believed to be able to sue
cessfully compete with the grain and other
products of the Baltic, Adriatic, Black Sea
and the Levant, which have been gradually
driving the products of the West out of the
market.'
The scheme is in the interest of Montreal
and the Canada railways and water route,
but the producing districts of the West are ex-
pected to contribute largely toward furnish
ing the necessary funds. The design is to
construct fleet of propellers to ply between
Montreal and Chicago. touching at Mllwau-
kee, Toledo and Detroit in passing both
ways. In connection with these vessels ocean
steamers are to run from Montreal and Que
bee. It would seem that this was undertaking
enough for one company, but the managers
of this grand Canadian enterprise were not of
that opinion. In addition to the steamers.
fast freight lines are to be organized TO ran
trains from Cincinnati, Louisville, st. Louis,
and other leading centers in the southwest to
Montreal, and to connect with The propellers
at the lake ports. The steamers are to be
used principally in the grain traffic, and the
fast freight lines will endeavor to turn the
cotton and tobacco trades from Baltimore and
New York to Montreal.
Much stress is laid on the fact that the
Welland canal improvement will be COM
pleted in about two years, when large class
vessels will be able to run through the entire
chain of lakes without interruption. The ad-
vantage Of Montreal as receiving and ship
ping port are also dwelt upon at length.
Whether the desired $5,000,000 can be
raised remains to be seen, but it would not
be surprising if success attended this part of
the undertaking, The Canadians will doubt
less subscribe freely, in the expectation of
the West to follow their example. If any
considerable amount is raised in this way,
the remainder can be negotiated in London.
But to carry out the practical part of the
project is quite another thing. If the money
is forthcoming, the vessels and cars may be
obtained without trouble; but to secure the
necessary freight to make the investment
profitable is where the difficulty will be ex-
perienced. The people Of New YORK. how
ever, would do well to initiate the enter
prise manifested by their Canadian competi-
tors. The latter ale continually devising
means for attracting commerce down the st.
Lawrence, while the former remain perfectly
quiet, waiting for commerce to thrust itself
upon them. The superior advantages which
New York has enjoyed have caused trade to
center there. But of late rival routes, fur
nishing good facilities, have been opened,
and unless New York shows more spirit than
she displayed in the past, trade win gradually
seek other channels.
