Steam on the Erie Canal.

The State Engineer and Surveyor, in
his annual report, makes a presentation
of the subject of canal transportation
The different modes of steam propul-
sion are considered and estimates fur
nished of the cost of transportation by
the several modes which have been used
with success. Steam has been used on
the canal this year to a greater extent
than ever before. Its use, however,
has not been general, a small portion
only of the tonnage having been
moved by it. 1t appears from the esti-
mates furnished in the report that the
Baxter steamer, making ten round
trips the season, accomplishes a given
result at a slightly greater cost than the
horse-boat; that in the case of the
Belgian system, towing trains of three
boats, and the towed boats making
either eight Or nine round trips, the
same result is obtained at a cost of
from half a cent to cent per bushel
less than either of the first two modes
and that by the steamer
consort system, the boats making nine
or ten round trips, the same result is
at cost about one and
one-sixth cents per bushel cheaper than
by the horse-boat or Baxter steamer

The Smithsonian Institution.

1t is now thirty years since Professor
Joseph Henry assumed the direction Of
the Smithsonian bequest and organized
the institution for the diffusion of
knowledge, which has exerted such a
beneficial influence in fostering and
disseminating scientific information in
the United States. The original fund of
$541 1879 has been increased to $714O0O,
and building costing $500, 900 has been
erected. There is library of 10000
volumes, chiefly the serial scientific
publications of learned societies, which
are of great value, as they cannot be
purchased, and are only procurable by
exchange among affiliated societies.
The most important feature Of the in
stitution IS the great system of inter
national exchanges which has been
founded by Professor Henry. The aim
is to keep knowledge moving, and, if
any one has made original observations
of purely scientific nature, he can
look to the Smithsonian Institution as
the willing agent to further their circu-
lation in printed form. The institution
has had published twenty-one quarto
and forty-two octave volumes Of transac-
tiOns and reports, and has accumulated
a rare collection illustrating the ethno-
logy and natural history of the world.
Great praise is due to the venerable
Professor Henry and to his efficient
assistant Professor Baird, for the adj
mirable manner in which the SmithsOn
has been administered.

needs, however, that its pupils should
dlspossess themselves of any selfopin-
donated manners, which make them
contemplate and Objectionable to 9TH
ers. If persons will persist in carrying
with them an ungainly selfconsclous-
ness. q determination to be heard by
every one, and to be believed in by every
one, and to lord it over every one, they
will soon be consigned to the limbo Of
unprepossessing and unpopular people,
who forget that the outside world con-
talns wiser and better people than
themselves. Tact is quick to learn,
quick to discern when it ought to be
silent, as well as when it ought to
speak. In this sense it is consistent
with true humility, and with a wise
recognition of individual imperfection.
The victories of several of the greatest
Generals in history have been achieved
by the sense of knowing when they
were, for the time, beaten, and having
the tact to retreat for the hour, and
gather up their broken forces, rather
than risk all upon last struggle with
superior strength and some of the
most successful statesmen have been
characterized by tact which knew how
to speak right words at right seasons,
who possess very slender powers of
Oratory indeed.

Monkeys in Their Soups"

The ape family resembles man. Their
vices are human. They love liquor, and
fall. In Darfour and Sonar the natives
make fermented beer, of which the
monkeys are passionately fond. Aware
of this, the natives go to parts of the
forest frequented by the monkeys, and
set on the ground calabashes full of the
enticing liquor. AS soon as the monkey
sees and tastes it, he utters loud cries of
JOY that soon attract his comrades.
Then an orgie begins, and in short
time they all show degrees of 1ntoxica-
ton. Then the negroes appear. Some
of the drinkers are too far gone to dis
trust them, but apparently take them
for larger species of their own genus.
The negroes take some up, and these
begin to weep and cover them up with
maudlm kisses When the negro takes
one by the hand to lead him off, the
nearest monkey will cling to the one
which thus finds a support, and endeav-
or to go on also. Another will clutch
at him, and so on, until negro leads a
staggering line of ten or dozen tipsy
monkeys. When finally brought to the
village, they are securely Gagged, and
gradually sobered down; but for two or
three days a gradually diminishing sup
ply of liquor is given them. so as to
reconcile them by degrees to their state
of captivity

Getting the Picture Taken.

The San Francisco Nail prints the
following: "The principal social event
Of the week (which transpired in the
daytime) was the photographing of Mr..
Pluto Krat's mansion on Jackson street,
near Van Ness avenue. 1t was gener-
ally known in the neighborhood that
the event was to come off, and quite a
large concourse of friends meandered
round the block in order to try and get
a cheap likeness of themselves. Special
policemen were detailed at IS head to
ward off the attacks of the intrusive
multitude, but, in spite Of their efforts,
a bakers boy, u school teacher. a clergy
mans wife, and a blurred-looking dog
got into the picture. The lady Of the
house stood for seven minutes at the
parlor bow window with fan in her
right hand and piece of music in her
left, while her husband pretended to be
patting dog just outside the front door.
1t was little unpleasant for the three
marriageable daughters to be compelled
to form a group and do a tableau vivant
at the gate, but with time their remem-
brance of the Smith girls sneering at
them next door will fade The baby in
the garden refused to keep still, and
consequently appeared in the proof with
three heads and seven sticks of candy,
while the frantic endeavors of his nurse
to keep him still caused that baby's
guardian to be distinguished by mouth
IN duplicate. The remaining features
of the picture are Master Adolphus
standing on one leg with his arms folded,
and Dutch servant girl in an open
window on the mansard roof. In this
country wealth and taste are synony-
nous terms"

The MISUNDERSTANDING Fee.

The Hamilton N. Y. J Democratic Re
publican has the following account of a
wedding at the residence of the clergy
man in that village on New Years Day:
" The reverend gentleman was at home
to all callers, and during the day a
gentleman and lady called. They sat
down and accepted the attentions of the
minister, who, well kno wing their GRAND
before they announced it, was trying to
make them feel at home. After con-
siderable skirmishing, the candidate for
groom managed to tell the secret. They
wanted to be married. The clergyman
could do that for them, and do it he did,
then and there, in approved style: The
pair desired a certificate,
and that was duly made out, executed
and delivered. Then came the fee.
How much do you ask for the job?
asked the youth. The clergyman re-
piled that the amount was always left
to the generosity of the groom. Well
said the groom, times are very hard

and money scarce, but [ guess 1 can find
% cents. So he fished in his pocket
awhile and finally produced what he
called 90 cents and handed it to the pas
tor. Then the happy couple took their
leave. On looking at the change re-
celved, the pastor found that one piece
which had evidently been taken for 10
cents wasa Scent piece, and, therefore,
his fee had been reduced to the magnifi-
cent sum of 43 cents. Yet there was
consolation even in that The certif-
cate had cost but % cents, so it left him
a clean profit of Is cents on the trans
action.

That River Monster,

1t is rumored that an immense object,
something less than 100 feet in length,
was seen in the Mississippi river, not a
great distance above Wilkinson's Land
ing, a few mornings since. Our inform
ant says that neighbor of his in that
portion of our county told him that he
saw it, and thinks it wonderful thing.
He really believes that it was that huge
serpent seen at various points along the
Mississippi river during the past few
months. The animal was ugly looking,
its head and mouth being tremendous,
the latter being something less than the
mouth of a cave. The fact is, it was an
animal that he should have dreaded to
encounter on water or land We are
not giving this as true, but simply state
it as it was told to us, and advise our
readers to consider it pretty fishy. Dur
ing the past few months several such
stories have found their way into me-
tropolitan journals, and no doubt, many
who perused them placed considerable
IN the same, believing them
to be correct, but we are rather prone
to believe that they are made-up yarns
up for the occasion, and should
rather see the animal than to hear of it.

Nevada Enterprise.

GENERAL GoURKo'S brave Russians,
who have been crossing the mountain
passes in the snow and ice, must by this
time be in frame of mind not unlike
that of the Southern soldier told of in
a current anecdote. 1t was on a weary
winter march that the officer who re-
lates the story saw solitary straggler
coming slowly up the road He seemed
almost exhausted his clothes were tat
tered, his shoes gone, his feet cut and
bleeding but through all this wretched-
ness shone the indomitable spirit of the
devoted soldier, the man who would be
found at his post or dead in the attempt
to reach it. The officer watched him
closely and admiringly, and, as he drag
ged himself slowly past, heard HIM NUT
ter to himself: Damn me, if ever
love another country" A good many
upon each side had that feeling at va
rious times during the war, though they
may not have formulated it so tcrsely.

An Episode from Arizona.

An interesting story comes from Ari-
IONA. Kellogg and Carter owned a min
ing claim, and foolishly quarreled about
it. Kellogg was man of few words;
Eight and free was his touch upon his
revolver" With little ado he fired at
his partner, and supposed that he had
sent bullet into his breast; but behold.
Carter was good young man, and had
a Bible in the pocket of his gray work
ing shirt. The ball struck upon the
sacred book, its course was turned, and
Carter was unhurt. Then the good
young man whipped out his cleaning
bowie knife, sprang upon Kellogg, and
carved him so artistically that his hold
on his revolver relaxed, and he was like
to die. The good young man stanched
his opponents wound and rode away
for physician, returning within twenty
four hours, having made total distance
Of over ninety miles. Kellogg is recov-
erlng. Carter, TO avoid arrest. sought to
cross the river, and this time the Bible
didn't save him. He was drowned.
The moral of this recital is very intri-
cate, but it is plain that Carter wasn't
born to be hanged. Rochester Union

Tact.

A little tact often overcomes difficult
ties which much earnest endeavor fails
to remove. Just as, tiny bolt with
drawn, a gate opens which it would
have taken many strong-armed men to
cast down and a word rightly spoken,
though in itself a thing little enough.

at another time. Tact is in
no sense difficult of attainment it
