A NEW CANAL.

A canal to connect Lake Salvatore with
Bayou Lafourche is now projected, and. we
are informed, is being pushed forward rapidly
but quietly to completion by private enter
prise and capital. This canal will connect
with Bayou Lafourche at the Hanau planta-
ton, twelve miles below Lockport. Lake
Salvatore is now connected with the Missis-
sippi River by the Barataria Canal. For
some time the fisheries of this bay have been
fruitless, and fishermen have been compelled
to go long distance Exposed, part of the
way, to the dangers of the Gulf to Tim
balier and Terrebonne Bay.
The new canal shortens the distance be-
tween the latter and Lake Salvatore fully
140 miles, and the journey is made without
entering the open Gulf. Planters in the La
f,urche section now ship to New Orleans by
Bayou Lafourche and the Mississippi River,
when the water is high, aud during low water
by Morgan's Railroad. The new canal will
give them cheap and constant water COM
munication with this city, and will shorten
the distance 100 miles. This enterprise has
been undertaken by our fellow.citizen, Mr..
Jules A. Blanc.

anchorage of the creeds and the harbor Of
the church and drifting out into sea OF
doubt with reason as their compass, rather

up not only in this country, but in all coun-

Christianity are openly and boldly assaulted.
Meantime what are churchmen doing to
check the gathering and threatening wave of
unbelief which is sweeping over the world
with hourly accelerated momentum?
We greatly fear that far too many of those
who are filling the positions of spiritual
guides and teachers are closing their eyes to
the truth in this vastly important matter, and
that when they have hurled the words Gin
fidels and scoffers" at those who are either
honestly in doubt and seeking for the truth,
or who have openly proclaimed their unbe-
lief, that they have performed their duty to
their God, their people, and themselves.
We do not think we err in saying that there
is hardly congregation that will assemble in
this city to-day in which there will not be
several persons who do not accept as truth
the teachings of the book of books, and il
we're well for our ministers to bear this fact
in mind when selecting their texts or deliver

The Indications and Predictions Of q
Prosperous Year Already
Verified.
The Hotel Business rs Viewed from the
Grand Pacific and Elsewhere.
4 New Departure at Keith Brothers.

Tho present prospects Of business for the
year aEs natural subjects Of interest and Of go
icituds among all classes. and though opinion
and expectation arc in the main rosy With hope,
there Is some diversity in views and conjectures.
Fortunately, however, there are some general
conditions having direct and important bearings
upon the matter which are not subject to opinion
or argument First the crop prospects for the
season, according to the logic Of agriculturists,
we're never better, the fruit crop having escaped
injury 60 far, with great promise for the other
crops Second, the country is represented as
unusually bare OF goods, merchants everywhere
having made but small purchases during the
past year and half Vast supplies are accord
ingly necessary to meet the demands Of local
markets throughout the country. Third, it is
admitted that large proportion OF last years
crop il yet to be marketed. and the sur
plus of last year must come forward
during the present season. Fourth, prices
on tbs whole are near the ante -be1lum standard,
and may therefore bo held to be non-speculatiye,
and such aa the natural laws OF trade would
make them. Fifth. money is superabundant at
lowest rates Of interest, and must remain so for
some time to come, setting aside the danger
arising from common tendency to speculative
enterprises. These appear to be elemental con-
ditions Of fundamental character, insuring
GRADUAL RESTORATION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY
to 8 normal standard, "a restoration that seems
both probable aud certain, excepting in the very
improbable contingency Of wide failure Of crops.
Conversations with the leading dry-goods frms
Field. Letter & Co., Richards, Shaw, Fitch Il
Winslow, and others, indicate earnest prepara-
items for year Of unprecedented activity, while
tho experience Of the past tWo weeks has been
the actual Inauguration Of the busiest season Of
some years. It is 80 in hardware, clothing,
boots aud shoes, and IN every department OF
commerce. Even the real estate interest, after
q cold and sluggish sleep Of q year, has felt tic
