PROJECT FOR THE CIyILIZATTGN
OF AFRICA.
London Daily News.

London Daily News.
A bold project for the civilization of
Africa Is announced, under the sane
ton Of Captain Sir John Il. Glover,
llr. r. \. Fowler andOther well-knOwn
gentlemen. This is the formation Of
canal for commercial purpOs s from
themOuth Of the river Belta on the
Atlantic, in the neighborhOOd of Cape
JUDY and Cape Bajad0r, opposite the
Canary Islands, to the northern bend
of the Niger at.Tmbuct0o, a distance
of 40 miles. Such a highway would
open up the African continent TO the
world, and ibsis believed that no fOrml-
dable obstacle opposes It's construction,
INT that the Contemplation Of the great
Desert Of Sahara favOrs the scheme.
For 6s1 miles Of the distance there Is q
great hollow, supposed to be 80 feet
below the legel Of the Atlantic, which
was probably at one time covered by
The sea. This low country Is separated
from the coast by a broken ridge OF
about thirty miles, through which the
river Belta runs for twenty-five miles,
so Jhat all that would be necessary IN
order to reach It Is 10 deepen the chan
mel Of the river, cut through the ridge,
AMI let the Atlantic fall into the vast
arid basin. In this way q vast sheet OF
water would be formed, the climate
would be improved, the country would
become uDre.feTtile for pastuTage, and
agriculture and commerce would be
carried into the heartOf Africa.

of this nature, which does not exist in any

have been secured here but for our exTaor-
dinary surroundings during the past few
years, would be efiectual bar to extrayagant

inexperience on one hand and intelligence
and dishonesty on the other. The people

THE PAPAL QUESTION.

From ths Sitts'nn Peoples Ga=stA {organ ef thu

Wo as.ert that even to-day the Pope has tho
power to install Klngs and may be feel called
upon once more to exercise it. AL German
Kings and Princes arc tho Pope's truo indeed,
they hare been baptized with water and in the
uamo OF the Triune God. But suppono Ethat
q Hing should prohibit Us to recognize Pope
lo9itimately elected ks tho spiritual hoad Of the
Church Compare Dsnlatck's dinpatch to Count
Arnirr, dated 18th May, 1871. Or ts determined,
by forca, to make Of rs Old or 6tato Catho-
lies; in those instances wo do not
kuuw why tho Popo should not once more
exercise tllo power given him by Christ. II st.
Gregory Of Nazianzon declared nll Bishops to DO
magistrates and that tho law Of Christ had sub
lected the priuces, too, to their sovereignty, how
innch moro, tlion, do the Popas POSSESS bit soy-
orgignty, and Id exceptional Cases md omer-
gencios may draw tho sword for tho good Of tho
Church, aa vol as may ho forced to declare:
" Tile firm Of that Prince, nnaer the f1rtn-name
Of :" by The grace Of God has become bankrupt,
tho louHs 1as failed. Its chief Is under guardian
sliip, being now diaabled to do any more bnsf-
noss." Accordingly, the ropo has the power to
deposo Kings.
