highways, canals, basins, etc. The re-
mainder, 434,914 acres, will represent
the amount afelaud disposabie at cost
of about SCOOP acre.
Last December, the Government sold
875 acres of land reclaimed from Wyker-
meer, at an average of l,061 per acre.
At this rate per acre the National Treas
ury would receive prompt reimburse
ment OF the expense with the surplus OF
100 per cent, or a clear profit of over
$370, 100000. This, however, Is somewhat
excessive, but the surplus could scarcely
be less than 5000, 100000 There is diff
ference of opinion as to the time neces-
sary to complete the work, the estimates
varying from twelve to sixteen years.
The average depth of the Zuyder-Zee is
stated at 41Ssmeters, or about 14M feet,
and the total volume of water to be
drained at over 1900, 100000 cubic yards.
A steam-machinery OF less than 10000
horse power could expel the water
within the embankments within two
years. The new Province of Zuyder-
Zee will be the tenth province OF the
Kingdom, and will cover an area of 7o3
square miles, little less than two ay-

OF Holland. 1t will be welcome addi-

Reclamation Of tho zurder- Zee.

The reclamation OF the Zuyder- Zee
has long been contemplated by the Dutch
people and Government, in whom the
hereditary instinct OF conquest from the
sea still survives. At the late session Of
the legislative body an appropriation
was made for soundage and survey. 1t
is now proposed to reclaim about half
the surface OF the inlet designated as
the Zuyder- Zee by some geographers, or
the whole OF it according 10 others. An
enormous dixie, ~ kilometers or PASS
miles long, Is to be constructed from
Kampen, near the mouth OF the Yssel
ri, er, on the eastern shore, to Enkhuizel.
on the western shore.
The dixie is to be % feet above the
water.surface, with an upper parapet
l6X feet high and 10 feet wide on the
top, sloping down to an exterior berme
or bench 10 feet wide and 6N feet above
the water. An interior bernie will serve
first as q tow-path to canal, and after.
wards as q track or railway after the re-
clamation shall have been finished. The

RIVERSIDE, Ohio, April 10th, 1878
Mr.. ARTHUR F0RBRIGER: Dear Sir-Your
Drawing Tablet, No. l., is the best thing Of the
kind l have ever seen or used. intend to in
troduce the succeeding numbers, as l need
them. This system must prove success, as it
is the only one that Gamble used;by any teacher,
regardless Of his lack of ability in drawing.
Another important advantage is, that sew
eral grades may be instructed at once. The
aids given to the pupil keep HIM from becom-
ing discouraged, yet leave HIM abundant
chance to make use of his own powers My
scholars are always eager TO know what their
next lesson will be, as they can not find out
until the present one is finished. The Teach
er's Manual, with each number, is very sug-
gestive, and supplies great need in that di-
rection.
In fine, your Drawing Tablets bear evidence
of your beng practical and enthusiastic Cd
ucator in Art while too many systems are got
up merely to sell, and are successful only be-
cause they are as good as any other extant.
That is now ended for your Drawing Tablets
are very much superior to all others. With
best wishes, you're truly.

to go up to Ohio on an invitation of
the Executive Republican Committee
Of that State, to make speeches in the
campaign against the reelection Of
Gov. Allen. Hoge is prince of car

orator, with just enough brain not to
feel the lack of it; the member elect
to Congress the ex-Comptroller-gen-
eral Of the State, and the man, who,
in recent speech before a jury trying
the notorious Parker, "told tales out
of school," when he said that neither
Governor Chamberlain, Attorney Mel

up the doings of the preceding admin
istrations; when they pledged to the
people in the last campaign that re-
form was going to be instituted in
South Carolina, they meant that it
should be prospective; were going to
open up new book. This was frank
confession, and frankness is regarded
as one Of Hoge's only redeeming
qualities:

1t is Not Generally known


That the shortest possible route between
the South and Great West is through St.
Louis, over the St. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gained
surprising importance by reason Of immense
expenditures in the last two years, of over
two million dollars, besides earnings, in i'm
provcments of roadway, in relaying their
line with best quality of new steel and iron
rails, on broad new ties, and substituting
for ordinary cars, new reclining chair coach
es, elegantly carpeted and fitted, with dress
ing rooms with toilet conveniences for Ia
dies, gentlemen and families travelling with
children, without any extra charge. This
line runs six fast Express trains between the
Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, two more
than any other road, and connects with all
the great Land Grant Roads in the West,
and has adopted all modern appliances for
comfort, speed and safeguards against acci-
dents including night and day watchmen who
inspect the road before and after the passage
of each train to see that everything is in Or
der. We recommend those contemplating
trip West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern Short Line, it being the only
line running through cars between St. Louis
and Omaha, and for tickets over this excel
lent line we refer our readers to any ticket
agent selling through tickets to the West. For

ANDREW JoHNsoN's EARLY LOVE
ArFA1R.-In John Savage's "Life of
Andrew Johnson" the reader is given
the belief that Mr.. johnson loved and
was disappointed in his affections by
their object. Such is not the case, 50
far as the conclusion is stated. He
did fall in love with young lady Of
good family and estimable character.
She responded in the fullest degree,
and both anticipated great felicity in
a future life together. The parents
of the young lady, however, objected
to the marriage upon the grounds of
Mr.. Johnson's youth Che was yet in
his minor years) and lack Of means.
Upon hearing this, Mr.. johnson
sought an interview with the young
lady, told her of the decision Of her
parents, and of the course he himself
had resolved upon. With his native
high principle, he said there was no:
thing left to them but to part and
forget what they had been to each
other. The lady felt otherwise, and
frankly told him that she would go
with him wherever he might lead, and
that she would not hesitate to trust
her life and its keeping into his hands.
The strong pride and love of fair deal
ing of Mr.. johnson could not permit
this, and. Notwithstanding his love,
he denied the proposition and left the
place, only returning long years after,
when the lady was married and the
mother of family. Thus it will be
understood that the lady did not prove
faithless and cause any wounded feel
ings to the subject Of this sketch

When skillful and cautious medical men

opinion of the soothing and vitalzing effects

to believe them. The voluminous and en-
phatic professional testimony in favor of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, as specific for all
disorders of the stomach and bowels, for liver
complaint, intermittent and remittent feTers,
and the thousand ills that wait upon dyspep-

however, from the testimony Of the faculty,
there is a large mass ofevidence from patients
in every walk of life, all showing that this
great preventive and restorative is of ineSti-

The Bitters are suited to all climates, and are
universally endorsed as preventive of dis
