WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON Nov. 30 The commission to
examine various surveys for ship canal across
the Isthmus of Darien, have submitted their
report to the President. They are of opinion
after full investigation that the Nicaragua
route is the best They estimate the canal
from Harbor of Brite. on the Pacific, to
Greytown, on the Atlantic can be constructed
at q cost not to exceed sixty-six millions.
There are objections of an almost insurmount-
able nature, IN all but the Panama and Mica
ragua route and Notwithstanding its greater
length, 1o6 miles, they give the preference to
it. Lake Nicaragua is on this route.
Hon. Fernando Wood declines further use
of his name as q candidate for Speaker.
Members of Congress are arriving rapidly.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The Canal Commits
sion, after abiding to the importance and
feasibility of the canal, say it is now regarded
as of the highest importance that the United
States take some action at once to carry out
the feasible plans of the ship canal, in order
to prevent either France or England from
coming in and taking the honor and profit Of
this great enterprise. The commission con-
sists of Gen. Humphreys, Capt. Patterson and
Com. Ammen.
Surgeon Ebenezer Swift is assigned to duty
az Medical Director of the Department of the
Gulf
Assistant Surgeon A. A. Yeomans has been
ordered to duty in the Department OF Texas.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Mr. Toby declines
the Commissionership of Indian Affairs
The Italian Government inquiries, through
the State Department, what space can be

Arts.
| Commissioner Smite remains the De-
partment as confidential clerk to Chandler.
The Treasury sells no gold N December.
$764, 422 legal tenders were retired to day.
| WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-The withdrawal of
Mr.. Wood from the contest tor Speaker,
created sensation to-day. In authorizing
the withdrawal of his name, Mr.. Wood de-
clned to say for whom he would cast his in
fiuence. The respective friends of Kerr, RIM
dali and Cox are still confident.
The contest for the Clerkship Is active;
Major Wederberp, of Virginia; Major Banks.
of Mississippi; Mr. Adams, of Kentucky;
Mr.. Archer, of Maryland, and Mr. Dubase,
Of Georgia, are on the ground. Lacn Will

It is thought the election of Kerr Will
throw the clerkship to the Southeast, or the
election of Randall to the Southwest

Leyee.

at day break Monday morning Capt. Ma
lone, Chief of Detectives, with his entire force,

Calliope street, kept by one Dave Lannigan,
and succeeded in capturing the notorious
burglar, Harry Clifford, and Johnny Sears
another well-known thief who was discharged
before Judge Evans few days ago on condi-
hours
The thieves, seeing that they were oyerpow
cred made no resistance aud quietly sub
mitted to arrest.
Dave Lannigan, the proprietor, was also
locked up, charged with harboring thieves
and receiving and having stolen property in
his possession.
The shanty was carefully searched immedi-
ately after the arrest and the following ar
ticles were found: Two revolvers,e Zone slung-
shot, lot of burglars tools, and several
dozen packs of Sunny Side chewing tobacco,
stolen from the grocery store OF Mr. Walters,
on Tchoupitoulas street, about week ago.
The private Waterman on the morning after
the burglary, discovered the thieves on the
levee near Launigan's. and fired several shots
at them, when they dropped two sacks OF
coffee, and succeeded IN making good their
escape with the balance of the stolen proper
ty, consisting of tot of chewing tobacco and
various other articles
Harry Clifford is pal of Jack Hartnett and
Tom Brady, who were arrested last Saturday
evening on Toulouse street, between DAu-
phine and Burgundy.
Clifford and Sears, when captured. were
wringing wet, and must have been out during
the entire night, probably plying their meta
rious avocations.
Clifford was set at large the same time with
Hartnett, on condition that he would leave
the city,

The London Adten9um says: "We described
Foley's statue of Gen. 'Stonewau' Jackson
when it was at the foundry in Chelsea, previous
to being cast in bronze. Since then this figure
has been cast. OF it, critically, we are bound to
say that we wish it had been a better work of
art: and we say this, not only for the reputation
of the sculptor, but for the honor of the heroic
general himself, as well as on account of the
sympathy which has led many English admirers
OF 'Stonewall to subscribe funds and present
the statue to the State of Virginia"

MI DEsPERANDUM.-Ar real heating
man or woman is rarity; and what won
derf when we realize that it is the Gus
tom to overload the stomach, and then
produce chronic disease by the use of
spirituous liquors., Tonics, "Appe-
TIERS" Restoratives, etc. Having
first produced disease by indiscretion,
the victim wonders Why nothing does
him good" Just so; and the reason is
that they all, or nearly all, find basis III
alcohol-or POISON. To all thus discour-
aged, we can conscientiouslys say, "make
one more trial. Discard spirituous
medicines, and give NATURE chance,
aiding her in the struggle by using one
of her own pure and unadulterated herb
remedies, in the shape of VINEGAR BIT
TIERS. THE discoverer, DIR. j. WALKER,
of California, is no pretender, but an
honorable practicing physician, and his
discovery is the result of years of labor
and study. The wonderful cures effected
by them of Dyspepsia, Fevers, Rheuma-
tism, and many other terrible diseases
are almost incredible.
Marshall County Republican., 1875-03-25

clothes. The stuff is rubbed on with a
stiff brush. The goods are nicely cleaned,
and, strange to add, no tobacco smell re-
mains.
The Scientific american cautions peo-
pie against the too frequent use of cam
phor as a medicine. 1t says the nature OF
camphor is that of nervous stimulant,
similar to opium or alcohol, and when
taken in large doses, causes irritation of
the nervous system, and produces con-
vulsions, often fatal in their effects.
A WORD ABOUT BREAD.-After the
sponge is set over night, in the morning
pour upon it one pint of boiling water,
stirring rapidly SO as to prevent scalding.
This warns the sponge through, and the
result is the same as from one hours
steady kneading.
ROASTING A TURKEY.-L the legs and
wings are covered with common writing
paper, securely fastened over them, they
will be as nicely cooked and juicy as any
other part of the fowl, and not dried or
burned, as when cooked without such
protection.
ARRowRoor.-Tak dessert spoonful
of the arrowroOt, and the same quantity
of cold water; stir them together, and
they will become smooth paste; then
pour on sufficient water quite boiling till
it turns to clear jelly. Add wine,
sugar, lemon peel, etc, to your liking.
Milk may be used instead of water if for
infants, or when the stomach will bear it,
in which case it is more nutritive, but
the wine must be omitted. Tous les
mois, sago, millet. semolina, and tapioca
may be used for puddings the same as
arrowroot.
THE Berlin h,dustric BIatter states
that eggs may be preserved In condl-
ton equal to fresh by dipping them in a
solution of water glass or silicate OF soda.
There is chemical compound formed
upon the shell which is impervious to
air. and which closes the pores of the
shell. The solution of water glass must
be concentrated until it is of sirupy
consistence. The fresh eggs (newly laid
are cleaned and put into a shallow pan
with the solution, and turned SO that
every part of the shell is exposed to the
water glass. After half an hour the
eggs are taken out, dried, and packed in
chaff in a dry, cool place.
BATTER CAKEs.-f anyof your readers
have not tried making cakes from mid
ding flour for breakfast, instead of buck
wheat. they are advised to do so imme-
diately, as they have treat before them.
Mix with yeast the night before, and
bake OH griddles rs usual. The only
objection which can be urged against
these cakes is their exceeding cheapness.
The material of which they are made can
be bought for $50 per 100 lbs, while
buckwheat costs three times as much,
and the former IS every way best and
most healthy.

THE MOTHER.

Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feeling of even
a single touch that is bestowed upon you
by that gentle hand. Make much of il
while yet you have that most precious of
all good gifts, loving mother. Read
the unfathomable love in those eyes the
kind anxiety of that tone and look, how
ever slight your pain. In after life you
may have friends, fond, dear, kind
friends but never Will you have again
the inexpressible love and gentleness
layished upon YOU which none but a
mother bestows Often do I sigh in my
struggles with the hard, uncaring world,
for the sweet, deep security felt when,
of an evening, nesting in her bosom, L
listened to some quiet tale, suitable to
my age, read in her untiring voice.
Never can L forget her sweet glances
cast upon me when / appeared asleep F;
never her kiss of peace at night. Years
have passed away since we laid her be-
side my father in the old churchyard :
yet still her voice whispers from the
grave, and her eye watches over me, as l
visit spots long since hallowed 10 the
memory OF my mother.
