A GREAT PROJECT MOVING,

The scheme Of uniting tae Atlantic
and Pacific oceans by canal through
the Isthmus Of Panama has seemed to
hang fire for the past year or two, SO
far as regards discussion in the United
States. \ few years ago it was one OF
the most absorbing topics of consi1era-
ton alike in Cougress AID in the jour
nails OF the country. But though it has
been rather crowded off the stage of
public thought in this country by other
issues OF more immediate concern, il
seems to have more practically engaged
the attention of British capitalists
across the Atlantic. Speaking of the
formation of a company in London for
the prosecution Of the enterprise and Of
their efforts to carry it through, the
London GIobe says:
The construction of canal to unite
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is now
merely matter Of time The Minister
of Columbia has signed a convention
by which the exclusive right of con-
structing canal between the two
oceans is granted to the new company
for 81 years. with many valuable rights
aud privileges. All the preliminary
arrangements have been made, and &C
cording to the present plan the canal
will be large enough TO permit the pas
sage of vessels about 500 feet long. 81
wide, and having n draught of 2G feet.
Stations. shops and workyards will be
furnished gratuitously to the company
along the banks, and a strip of land 200
yards wide is granted them free of rent
for the term they are to hold the canal.
All kinds of merchandise as we'll as pas
sengers are declared<o be exempt from
national or municipal dues, and the
great ports at each end of the line are
To be neutral from the first. No dues,
moreover, will be charged upon the OBJ
jects stored in the warehouses along
the banks; and during tho ninety nine
years for which the lease is granted the
company is 10 have the sole right to all
charges for anchorage, transit and pi-
lotage within its waters, At the end
of that term the entire property will
pass into the hands of the Government
of Columbia.
These are stated 10 be the terms of
the convention, which have been APP
proved by the President of the Union,
and are now awaiting the ratification of
Congress. When that is obtained we
may expect to hear ofactive steps being
taken TO begin a work which has long
been talked about. and which, is sue
cessfnlly carried out, prove lasting
boon to every trading community.

whether there was any law to prevent

any statutory enactment 'forbidding

of nature gives every man. or body of
men. the right to protect themselves.
Acting on this principle. our vigilant
sheriff arrested an Indian the other d.y

Remedy For DiDltheria.

DR.. 3. N. Chapman ,ofBrooklyn, pro-
fesses to have found an antidote in alec
hol and quinia, by which the percentage
Of deaths is reduced to less than l in
so. Like any other antidote, it must
be given promptly at the outset, or
otherwise its. potency will be lessened,
perhaps lost altogether Alcohol does
not act as a stimulant, nor induce any
of its ordinary effects. Enough may be
given to cause profound intoxication in
health, and yet there existssno signs Of
excitement or oder in the breath.
Quinia is an efficient alloy to alcohol.
It energies the ganglionic. nervous sys-
tenn. and thus enables the organism to
right itself and RESUME its function DR..
Chapman sustains his position by citing
mum erous eases in which his treatment
was successful. He states that, in his
long experience. he only knew of one
case where a drunkard had diphtheria.
He generally gives the alcohol in the
form of whisky.

AIDING POLLEN IN FERTILIzATIoN.-To
those who devote attention to hybri
dization we suggest the possibility, that
if mucus from the stigma OF the in
tended pollen parent is applied in the
stlgmas oft plant desired to be fer
tilted, many difficult crosses might be
effected This, of course, depends on
the supposition that if the pollen tubes
are emitted they may penetrate the
style, and that the foreign mucus is not
always congenial for the commence
ment of growth. Some hyblidists may
haveexperimented on this point, and,
if SO, it would be Interesting to know
with what result. This idea has fire.
quently presented itself to our mind,
and we are induced to express it from
having recently read an observation by
Mr.. James O'Brien IN the Garden of
August 10Th, that to get pollen tubes for
the microscope it is only necessary to
place a sufficient quantity of mucus on
the slide and apply the pollen. He says
that one or two drops of nectar are
taken from Lilium speciosum or L.
auratum, and not more than a dozen
grains of pollen applied, and in half an
hour the tubes will begin to appear and
grow for from one to two hours, when
they will resemble long snakes. The
nectar will soon harden, ard being per-
fectly transparent, permanent object
is secured by laying ON q thin glass and
pressing out air bubbles before harden

American Social Life.

The foe of American social life is in
the tendency to luxury and efeminacy
among the well-to-do young women
of our American cities and large towns.
They do not realize how this dreadful
mania for expensive pleasures, and a
life Of alternate idleness and amusement
is destroying their health; abolishing
true marriage; feeding the brain of
gross sensuality and intemperance
among young men, and saddening the
hopes Of the best parents in the land.
Some of them never will know it in this
world. But most of them have no real
purpose to waste their lives in this
wretched way. And it is high crime
In mothers, teachers, ministers of relig-
ion and the public press to pander to
this insanity. Thousands ofgood heart
ed young girls are sacrificed every year
when a little wise and loving guidance
could save them But we feel that they
should be told that unless they change
this life they will pass away like the
flowers Of June, and more hardy and
resolute class occupy their places.
Am erican society will shed every class of
trlf1ers, male or female. that do not do
It's work, as the forests shed their with
cred leaves. Let them awake from
their dream of social indulgence; learn
to live out of doors; to build UP their
health; to cultivate more simple tastes
in dress and more moderation in plea
sure; study domestic economy; study
social skill and tact, fit themselves for
the MODEST positions ever yet offered to
their sex, and learn that woman is the
soul of American life, not the tinsel on
its garm emit UniUersdHS QunrterW
