Tie SupI Canal

1t Is stated in an official communication TO
the Department of State at Washington that
the Suez Canal, up to the close of last year,
cost the Egyptian government, in addition to
the amount of shares sold to the English gov.
eminent, over $11 100000, about half of this
sum being interest. This includes the cost
of the fresh water canal from Cairo to lsmai-
La, and thence to SueZ. for the use of the
SueZ Canal and the stations on its line, in.
GLIDING the cities of Port Said, SueZ, and Is.
MALTA. THIS enterprise, so useful TO many
nations, and especially to England, was one
OF the first causes of the present financial en-
barrassment of Egypt. Notwithstanding
this great sacrifice in the interests of COM
merce, Egypt to this time has received no
benefit from this canal, but, on the contrary,
has sustained constant loss. BY the passage
OF all classes of vessels with their passengers
and cargoes directly through the canal con.
siderable commerce is lost to Egypt, and also
large business in freights and passengers,
that would otherwise be transported from
Alexandria to Suez on the Egyptian railways
1t appears from statement showing the nav.
igatien through the Suex Canal from Dec. /,
1867 to Dec. 81 1875, that the entire number
OF vessels was G,215-the largest numbers be
ing 3,341 English, 292 Italian, 1913 Dutch, lao

Mai John Million, we'll known citizen
of Laplata, Macon county, has great faith
in turnips as a sure cure for the disease
known as hog cholera, So great is his faith
that he has filed a claim with the state gov
eminent for the $4,000 reward offered by
the legislature for a remedy for that disease
Maj. Million was commissioner in the con
federate army. When acting IN that capacl
ty he had charge at one time of many thOus
and head OF hogs, which were collected to
gether in Mississippi, when the cholera
broke out among them. Immediately upon
discovering the prevalence of the disease he
says he began to exert himself to save as
many as possible He separated them as well
as pos siblc, keeping the effected ones apart
He had on hand, also, a large quantity of tur
nlps, which he began to feed to the hogs
Very soon he observed marked improve
ment, and then he made numerous expert
mentS. He selected some of the diseased hogs
and penned them apart. They were ted on
turn:p. and nothing else, and all of them re
covered. lie says his eXperi ments demon
stratct' the fact that turnips are not only q
cure, hut preventive OF cholera. He has
impaired the secret to many farmers in the
state. III of whom found the remedy sure
Owe althy farmer IN Howard county Nal
MIlli'G says, had thirty.eight hogs afflicted
with chulera. He was advised ofthe turnil
cure. ant placed no faith in it. However he
cone iuded to give it trial, and, selecting one
Of the hogs worst afflicted, he put II IN pen
alone and fed 1t turnips. The result was, that
hog recovered and all the rest died. Maj
Million states that unless hog is too far
gone TO eat, the turnips will cure him. The
remedy is cheap one AMI easily procured
and it can certainly do no harm for farmers

Farmers arc the only men in tho world

That large minority of them do this can

themselves oven on the most economical
plan. Some few make money over and
above the amount necessary to feed and
clothe themselves and families. Why is this
business 80 uncertain and unsatisfactory
Wc would like to give our reasons for it in
terms plain enough to reach the understand
ing Of each of our readers. We do not
believe there is another business, occupation
or calling open to mankind that would pay
at all if followed in the same careless and
ahiftlcss manner that farming is followed.

support himself with so little care, labor
and attention as he can by cultivating the
soil. Any other business followed os

SAuAcfTY or A CONNECTICUT DoG.--
Our neighbor, Chauneey Hart has dog
that is remarkable for his apparent knowl-
edge of the English language, if his owners
statement about the dog is true--and 90 to
his veraoity there Is no question. Mr.. Hart
is a blacksmith by trade, and has an acre or
so Of land which he oultivates, and during
the season Of hoeing he rises as about 4
O'Clock in the morning to subdue the weeds.
His dog is always with him. When tho
time arrives'for making fire to prepare the
morning meal, Mr.. Hart goes into the house,
makes the fire, and says to tho dog: "Go
call your mistress" lie goes Immediately
to tho bedroom and wakes her. If sho docs
not notice tho call, the dog will pull tho
clothing off the bod, and will not eave until
sho gets up. If Mr.. Hart soes pack pod.
dlcr coming, he says to the dog: "Carlo
there is paok-peddlor coming" Hc will
start of at onoo, and prevent his coming on
the premises.
On another occasion Mr.. Hart walked
ovor to neighbor's house just as the
neighbor came homo with aomc
bones no had procured for his chickens
and threw them out of his wagon. Carlo
got one Of them and brought it near whore
they wcro talking. When Mr.. Hart saw it

you; 80 carry it back where you found it

to the place whero he got it, trotted off about
ten rods towards home and eat down, wait

buttons and was employed by them to fol-
low il up, Pinkerton's agency had in the
meantime been engaged ir following up
the case, but had not struck on Jayne's
clew. This, it is reported on good author
ity, duplicates one of the officers of the In
surance company. The names of Jayne
assistants, as given in the Chicago dis
patches, are not recognized here. The
detectives, the counsel for the swiudled
corporations, and all other persons con-
nected with the prosecution, have used
every means IN their power to prevent
communication with their captiyes. They
have fatty refused to impart information,
on the ground taat TO publish the facts
would defeat the ends Of Justice This
plea is absurd on its face, as, if such a
thing were possible, it would have been
accomplished four days ago. A more uu-
charitable view Of the case is current about
town, especially among the police, to the
effect that the arrested forgers are rich
men, and an effort is being made to com
promise the matter, 1t is claimed tina
Jayne and his associates are not officer!
authorized to make arrests, and that thu
warrants used were not regular, and, i
they were, no requisition was obtained
from Governor Robinson on the Governo
of Illinois. Ia answer to this,it is asserted
that the warrants, which were issued by
Cook county Justice of the peace, wer
proper and valid, and that the arrest
were made under authority Of the genera
government, the technical charge agains
the men being that they forged Unite
States revenue stamps.

GEN John M. Corse, as Sergeant-at
Arms


From the Davenport, Iowa, Democrat
The suggestion is made, and it is very
proper one, indeed, that the democratic
state convention, to assemble at Marshall
town next week, shall adopt resolution
requesting the selection, by the national
house of representatives, of Gen. John NJ,
| Corse as its sergeant-at-arms, General
Corse is essentially an Iowa man, and a
highly respected representative OF the
Iowa Democracy, and his choice for the
position we have named would be de
served honor, not alone to the General
himself, but to the struggling party of this
state, which at present is absolutely with
out representation in the general govern
ment. Gen. Corse's capabilities for any
other Office of trust are acknowledged on all
hands. Not only brave and high minded
officer, who won imperishable fame during
the late war, but a man of great personal
worth, Of high abilities, and irreproachable
character, his selection would reflect honor
upon the house, aud be a credit to its in
telligence and judgment. We expect to
see the Iowa convention pay Gen. COrse
the compliment Of an endorsement, and
hope that it will have the effect OF so iu-
| fuenceing the action of the democrats of
congress that true merit shall be recognized,
and Gen. COrse consequently be chosen the
the next sergeant alarms of the house OF
representatives.
The suggestion is good one, and will be
the recognition of brave generals services
to his country, as we'll as recognition oil
the valuable services he rendered during
the last campaign to the democratic state
committee of Illinois. At the time Gen
, Corse stepped forward, the committee wal
doing absolutely nothing, and in fact, worse
than nothing-it was frittering away valu
