THERE is sentiment in the upper
peninsula decidedly in favor of the estab-
lishment of a school of mines somewhere
in that region, the institution to be MAIN
tanned by the proceeds of the sale of state
lands, or by specific tax on copper and

THE DARIEN SRIP CANAL.

The project of buildinga ship canal
across the isthmus of Darien is again be-
| ing revived in connection with General
Grants visit to Europe. 1t is rumored
that company is to be organized for
this purpose, of which General Grant is
to be the President. The building of
the Union Pacific and the Panama rail-
road seemed for time TO place this pro-
ject in the background, but the govern
ment, realizing the importance of such
a canal, in the years 1871. 1872, and 1873,
dispatched some naval officers 10 make a
survey. in order 90 ascertain the most
practicable route. They completed the
survey ftwO different iroutes, and made
their report, which seemed fora time to
revive the Interest III the scheme, but no
definite action was taken towards its ac-
complishment but it would now seem.
If any reliance can be placed in the rtl-
mors ailoat, that an effort was going to
be made to organize a company consist
ing of capitalists of this country and
Europe for the purpose of constructing
the canal. The TIVE routes surveyed are
known as the Daried and Nicaraguan
routes. BY the former the canal would
be 12S miles long 100 of which would be
by the AtratO river, which, it is believed,
could be easily made naviga-
bic for the largest ocean steam
ers. Twenty-Five miles OF
the remaining distance would have to be
constructed through plain having a
gradual rise Of ninety feet. Three miles
would require to be a deep, open cut,
and the remaining three miles tunnel
through the mountain. which, it is pro-
posed, to make IL, feet high and 60 feet
wide. 1t is estimated that the canal, by
this route, would cost $60,O00,000, and
take ten years to complete it.
The Nicaraguan route cOntcmplates a
canal from Lake Nicaragua to the Pacific
as miles, and canal along the San Juan
River. from The lake 10 the Caribbean
Sea at Greytown or San Juan. The canai1
will then include sc, miles of lake naviga-
tiOns: 20 miles of slack water navigation
in the San Juan. and 81 miles OF sanal
proper. and would require twenty-one
locks. The estimated cost by this route
is $80,000.000. There are iBnumerable OBJ
stacles to be overcome on either route.
No man is more familiar with these OBJ
stacles than eX-President Grant, and no
man is better calculated to push such
an enterprise to a successful conclusion
than he. if he chooses to associate his
name with it. 1t will be bOlder scheme
than was the Suez undertaking; would
call out more engineering skill, and call
for more courage and persistence, on the
part of the projectors. 900 9i1 81. sii ~

ysurrNG IN OUR SCHOOLS.

Michigan is noted throughout the en-
tire country FOR the excellence of her pub
lie schools. Her fame has spread even
to the old country. There is no state in the
Union which has more perfect school
system. Many OF the newer states have
had their laws fashioned after ours I'm

Still it is not without cost The property

those who pay their money in the form
of taxes for the support OF these schools,
Are they al they should be when we

need to be little more graded

schools in this state the so-called higher
branches are taught 70 the neglect of the
