COSTA RIGA.
distant day

Yesterday a representative of the DEMO
GRAFT had the pleasure Of short interview
with Col. T. s. Williams, who is interested in
the contract with the Costa Rican govern.
ment for the construction Of railroad from
Port Limon, on the Caribbean Sea, to San
Jose the capital which Is situated in the
mountains and in the very centre of the State,
midway between the two oceans. Port Lii
mon, the eastern terminus of the road, is 1870
miles above Aspinwall and sixty miles below
Greytown. The road is constructed and in
running order into the interior thirty-six
miles, and from San Jose toward Port Limon
thirteen miles are constructed and eleven
more graded, leaving gap of about fifty
miles, over which there is but a narrow
mule path cut around the edges of per-
pendicular cliffs hundreds of feet in the air.
This road is entirely unavailable for trans
porting goods. 1t is a saying among the ma
tives that che who travels it once is hero,
and who travels it twice a fool" But from
San Jose to Punta Arenas, the nearest port
on the Pacific, there Is an excellent dirt road
over which all the trade with the interior
passes, but at such great disadvantage and
at such heavy cost as to make the. road to
completed, Col. Williams feels assured, within
two years, when valuable trade may
be opened between New Orleans and
Costa RIGA. Col. Williams says that the
eastern coast is entirely barren and
uninhabitable, the whole population of Costa
RIGA lying in the interior and confined to a
district within a radius of fifty miles of San
Jose. Now all heavy freight goes around the
Horn, and such as can be handled passes over
the road from Aspinwall to Panama, where it
is reshipped on the California steamers or in
barges up to Punta Arenas, and thence carted
to San Jose which makes the expense very
heavy. The only exports of Costa RIGA is
coffee, amounting in all to between 500. 600
and 600, 600 quintals Of this the bulk goes to
England, the lower grades only being
shipped up the coast to California. All the
flour used in Costa RIGA comes from
California, and sells at $50 barrel in
San Jose. On the east coast the trade
amounts to little, and is confined mainly to
the islands along the coast and the supplying
of the contractors on the road from Port
Limon. They purchase their supplies from
trading schooners from New York and Balti-
more, and buy their flour from these at $40
per barrel. They have monthly communica-
ton with Aspinwall by the British Royal mail
steamers, which have contract with the
Costa Rican Government for the delivery of
monthly mails between Aspinwall and Grey
town. Col. Williams sees no reason why New
Orleans should not successfully compete for
the whole trade of this country SO soon as
this road is in operation.

In conversation yesterday with a gentleman
who seems to knows the views Of the directors Of
the Carondelet Canal Company, we learned that
it was his opinion that there would be no necessity
for lawsuit by the city to assert its rights, be-
cause every member Of the direction was as
much interested in the drainage Of the city as
the remainder Of our population, and that they
would meet the city half way with view to facl-
tating the administration in accomplishing their
object OF securing large portion of the city
from overflow.
Meanwhile, however, Mayor Pilsbury is prose-
cutting his investigation OF the relations existing
between the company and the city.

THE VALUE OF HUMAN LlFE.-The
precise monetary value of human life
in various parts Of the world would be
an interesting subject Tor careful in
vestigation. In Dahomey we proba-
bly, begin with one of the lowest rungs
of the ladder. A few beads a strip of
calico there will purchase a well-de-
yeloped specimen of humanity. In
China any criminal possessed of Sl5
may procure a substitute who having
deposited the money in the hands Of
his poor relatives, will cheerfUily un-
dergo the operation o. decapiIalion.
Then, ascending a little higher ON the
allegorical ladder, we come to slave
marts, where often an elephants tuSk
is worth four women. Il is unpleas
ant TO come nearer home, and ask
what some phases of so called civilized
life is worth A German professor,
who rejects Mallhesian doctrines, com
putes that, taking the whole world for
au ayersge, a woman is worth about
one eighth of a man He thinks that
there are at least 25l ,000,0 900 unmar-
ried women IN the world. AS rule,
out Of Europe, horses are more valu
able than members Of the fair sex
However, ,Esquimaux womenaFe scarce

DIET FOR PoULTRY.-Corn is the
cheapest and best food for fowls, if We
are to name one article. They like
it better than any other grain, aud 1t
probably must always be the main de-
pendence in this country in keeping
poultry. But there must be variety.
Hens are as omnivorous, perhaps, as
anv other animal in the world, man
excepted. They even exceed swine
in his respect. We all know how
diStaStetui a uniform diet is 10 our
selves. The appetite, both in men
and bTutes, is determined by the vary
ing state of the system, and kind Of
food that Is craved at one time will
be rejected at another. Wheat, buck
wheat and oats must have a place in
the diet list The latter are the best
ground. Wheat bran is excellent.
Hens soon tire of cooked grain, but il
should be fed part of the time. Every
day in the year when fowls do not
have access TO grass, tresh vegetable
food should be allowed, and small
quantity of meat, when there is not
insect forage. Corn should prcdom
mate for growing chickens, because
the cheapest, ard for faitening fowls;
but for layers, wheat should occupy
a prominent place.
