Glasgow and the CIydf

A hundred and fifty years ago the in
habltants of Glasgow, then only few
thousand in number, resolved on i'm
proving the Clyde, and they have gone
on working at the idea ever since. 1t
was a shrewd occupation. The city
had great capabilities of advancement.
The neighborhood abounded in iron
and coal. The river opened into a
channel communicating with the west
coast of England and the Atlantic
and the Atlantic was the highway to
America. There lay the elements to
wealth, and no doubt wealth would be
realized in immeasurable abundance if
the river could be rendered navigable
Such was the reasoning of these Glas-
gov people. They hardly yet imag
ined the possibility of bringing the sea
up to their city. They would establish
a port near the salt water, and carry on
traffic by means of lighters. That was
the primary motion, and it did good
service in its day. In process of time,
as trade and wealth increased, the i'm
proving of the river on a grand scale,
and making Glasgow itself a port, be-
came predominant idea in this keen
witted and self-reliant community. In
short, the tidal water must be made to
flow upward over a space of fifteen to
eighteen miles, to the Broomielaw, so
as to secure the advantages of harbors
and docks with clear and direct route
to the sea. Mr.. Deas presents a mar.
rative of proceedings for deepening,
widening and Strengthening the river,
which in some places was SO shallow
that it could be forded on foot. Where
sand banks were bare at low water,
land plows drawn up by horses were
employed to break up the banks so
that the current might carry the sand
away. Where the sand-banks were
under water they were torn up by har-
rows attached by tackle to the stern of
steam-tugs, the liberated debris being
swept away by the current and refux
of the tides. Then began processes of
dredging, at first by q chain of iron
buckets worked by hand and by horses
but afterward by steam power. Some
times the dredge encountered rocks
and boulders, and these had to be mas
tered by q recourse to diving bells and
blasting. For long time the engi-
neers were unaware of a remarkable
bed or dyke of whinstone rock at the
bottom of the river, near Elderslie,
about four miles from Glasgow. This

Hunting the yfper.

The scientific gardens of Paris are be-
coming quite theatre for field sports
of select order. Not long ago an Eng
lish falconer was invited to establish
himself and his trained birds at one of
them, and the Parisians were INDUCED
with the sight of falcons worthy of the
age of chivalry. While the peregrines
were allowed to perform in the air, a
group of cormorants attracted quite as
much attention by their exploits in the
water, and the French bourgeois, who
had never stirred further beyond the
rampants than st. German o. Vile
neuve, began to talk as loudly about
hawking as if he had been a member of
the famous Loo or Champagne Clubs.
1t is now the turn OF another, and, per-
haps new sport, in which birds are
also the performers. The Jardin d'Ac-
climation has been enriched by the ad-
dition of some fine secretary birds, and
q few days ago occasion was taken with
their help to offer to the public what a
French paper calls ''a most attractive
spectacle" Some vipers had been pro-
cured, and were thrown down before
the birds, who to the intense delight of
the spectators, lost no time in ''engag-
ing IN struggle" with them. The COM
bat must have been rather one sided if
the birds were any thing like full grown
for the sectary has been known not only
to vanquish, but to devour bodily
snakes as large as a mans arm. But
the gestures and tactics of the birds
while engaged in the fight were highly
amusing to the visitors, who will, no
doubt. urge all their friends to go and
patronize the exhibitions that may be
given in future. 1t is certain that the
gardens are far better suited for the
chase dUr riperes than for displays of
falconry, for the secretary does not fly,
but runs after his prey. and that at a
prodigious pace, reserving his wings to
serve as a weapon of offense and de-
fense. When the snake is overtaken,
one of the wings is used as a shield and
the other as a club, while the long and
hard legs of the bird are impervious to
the attacks of the foe. A common viper
is, however, by no means a fair match
for the newly trained chasseur, and it
would be well on the next occasion to
make a quarry of stout cobra or a
young python.-[L London Globe.

Socrates on House Building.

Pray, ought not he who cares to have
house built as it should be, contrive
so that it should be as pleasant and
convenient as possible to live in? Is
it not then, pleasant for it to be cool in
summer and warm in winter? Does
not the sun, in such houses as front
the south, shine obliquely, during the
winter time, into the porticoes, while
in summer it passes vertically over the
roofs, and affords us shade Is it not
well, therefore, if any rate this posi-
tion for house be a good one, to build
it In such way that it shall be the
highest toward the south, so that the
winter sun may not be shut ont, and
lower toward the north. so that the
cold winds may not beat upon it SO vi
olently? To speak a. concisely as pos
sible. that would be probably the
pleasantest and most beautiful dwell
ing house to which the owner could
most agreeably betake himself at all
seasons, and in which he could most
safely deposit his goods.

Music and Vegetation.

A correspondent of the English
Mechanic insists that musical sounds
stimulate the growth OF plants. He
gives an instance in point. In barren
section of Hortugal he built small
conservatory and endeavOred to cuiti-
vate roses and other flowers under
shelter, but in spite of his precautions
and industry they did not flourish. One
day he took a harmonium into the
greenhouse and played for several hours.
This practice he maintained for several
months and was surprised to see a
gradual but rapid recovery of health on
the part of his plants. He attributes
their improvement to the influence of
music and unfolds the theory that the
singing OF birds is conducive to vegeta-
BILE life. 1t is pretty theory.

Hospitality 4. khIya-

Capt. Burnaby, the Englishman, who
has just made a tour through Turk
estan, was well treated in Khiva. and
received especial hospility on reaching
there, in the home of a dignified old
gentleman. The Khivan hosts were
very humble and deferential wherever
he went, but they were very inquisi-
tive also, and curious to know of the
ways of Europeans. Their notions
upon such subjects are very vague, as
is shown by this passage from one of
the conversations which the traveller
reports:
"'Which do you like best, your horse
or your wife?' inquired the man.
"'That depends upon the woman,
replied; and the guide, here joining in
the conversation, said in England they
10 not buy or sell their wives, and that
1 was not a married man.
"'What. you have not got wife?'
"'NO; how could | travel if / had
one?'
"'Why, you might leave her behind
and lock her up, as our merchants do
with their wives when they go on a
Journey
"'In my country the women are
never locked up
"'W hat a m2ruelr said the man !;
'and how can you trust them? Is it not
dangerous to expose them to so much
temptation? They are poor weak crea-
lures, and easily led. But if one of
them is unfaithful to her husband, what
does he dog
"'He goes to our mollah, whom we
call judge, and obtains divorce and
marries some one else
"'Whati you mean to say he does
not cut the woman's throat?'
"'No; he would very likely be
hanged himself if he did,
"'What a cOuntryr said the host :;
I'VE manage things better in Khiva.'
''The guide was much astonished on
hearing the prices of horses in England.
'And what do the poor people dO?' he
inquired.
"'Why, walk
.s'walk?'
Eyes, walk,-this appearing to the
man such an extraordinary statement
that he could hardly credit it,"

SOME DAY.

Some day earth viii know no gloom,
Some day faith viii rise from sleep,
Some day hope will bud and bloom,
Some day men viii cease to weep;
When the path Of life Is rough,
Some day death will cry, enough!
Some day water will be wine,
Some day woe be changed to veal,
Some day csptives viii not pine. i
Some day deepest wounds will heal,
Some day, with its sweet decree.
Made imprisoned Joseph free.
Some day, some day, envy dies,
Long ago the spirit spoke,
Changing into purple dyes
Jewish David's shepherd cloak,
Making Saul. erst fierce and heet
Follow on with lingering feet
Some day must the aloe bloom,
Fruit viii grow upon the palm.
Some day light Will vsnquish gloom,
Some day pain will find q balm;
Some days eyes will not be wet,
Some day, some day will come yet.

ward of 10000. Much, we are told,
remains to be done but the northern
half of the rocky area has been low
cred so as to give channel of fourteen
feet at low water, the other half hav-
ing an available depth of eight feet.
Ultimately, as is expected, there will
be depth throughout of twenty feet
at low water. The cost of the sundry
operations on the Clyde has from first
to last, in virtue of acts OF Parliament,
been borne by levying rates on the
tonnage of vessels using the river. The
administration throughout has been
marked by great prudence. With some
insignificant failures, whatever has
been done has been done well. The
total expenditure of the Clyde Trust
from the year ITO to June, 1879,
amounted 10 10 itf,UUU.
At present the minimum depth of
the navigable channel may De stated at
fifteen feet st low water, and about
twenty-five feet at high water. YES
sells drawing twenty-three feet three
inches have within the last few months
come to Glasgow in one tide from
Greenock. Ship-building on the Clyde
has advanced in a remarkable manner.
In 1875 there were built on it three war
vessels, thirteen paddle and hundred
and a hundred and thirteen screw
steamers. Including other kinds Of
craft, there were built on it total of
276 vessels. For the year ending Both
June, 1875, the revenue of the Clyde
Trust was fl96, 326. A survey of the
shipping at the harbor and docks of
Glasgow would communicate feeling
of an enormous trade with all parts of
the world. The truth is, the rise of
Glasgow is one of the wonders in the
modern history of Great Britain-a
greater wonder considering the poor
and backward state of Scotland at the
Union. From thirty-five thousand in
III, the population of Glasgow has
swollen to half million, and it has be-
come the second city of the Empire,
with apparently no limit to its wealth
and importance. As a centre of manu-
featuring industry it has several advan-
tages, but all would have been una
vailing without the Clyde and its mar
velous improvements. - Chambers

The Terms of compromise.

A dispatch from New Orleans, under date
OF February 81, says ..
Governor Nichols received dispatches
from congressman Ellis and Gibson this
morning, stating in effect that negotiations
were on foot with Governor Hayes's friends,
represented by Hon. Stanley Matthews and
Others, which would, without doubt, secure
the recognition OF his government. He
deemed them OF sufficient Importance to
have them read in an executive session OF
the Legislature. ....... ... -.
All the leading Democrats regard the
question of the State government as settled.
1t is very evident that the dispatches from
Washington announced the ratification OF 1
regular treaty with the Republican leaders
at the Federal capital, by which the Nichols
government IS to be recognized upon GER
tain conditions being agreed to. ....... 81.
The election Of United States senator
for the long term was to-day postponed
until the extra session, which Governor
Nichols intends calling, and which is eX-
pected to last ten days from the expiration
OF the present term. ..... 49,.
The conditions Of the treaty are stated to
be as follows: The orders of the President
to General Augur are to be rescinded, and
the Democrats are to take possession OF the
State-House with all the departments OF the
State government, so that Hayes, on his in
auguration, will find NichoIls's government
de focto. In return the Democrats are to
give the Republicans the long-term United
States senator, guarantee immunity for all
past political acts, secure the colored peo-
pie in their equal rights before the law, and
protect all citizens from violence or inter-
ference with their political opinions or af-
filiations. t i.'.. 3d. '.' .... s ...'.
