1.-THE Rock Rogeo is about ten leagues
north of Crown Point" and Peter Schy
Ter, i'll the Journal of his expedition, Ill
1851, against Canada, says; Sent spys
from Crown Point towards Rngeo, dis
lance Of thirty miles All this testi
mony conspires to prove that Split Rock,
which is scarcely fifteen miles from Crown
Point, could not be the Rogeo of tradition
and history.
Other considerations tend to enforce
the same conclusion. Split Rock Is not
an isolated rock, but merely the projec
ton of promontory. 1t was not cal
culated to attract the reverence of the
Indian by its weird grandeur or to ex-
cite their superstitious awe. 1t is situa-
ted on the western side of the lake, while
the report of johnson and the French
map, as we have seen, place Rogeo near
the eastern shore.
To some minds this elaborate discus
sion may seem To be devoted to Il trivial
subject, the mere identification of a soil
tary rock amid the waters of Champlain
In my Judgment it is eminently desira-
BILE to understand and vindicate the his
toric geography of the lake 1t cannot
be mimportant to localize a grand physi-
cal object. which ages ago was shrouded
in the mist of savage superstition and
identified with most thrilling tradition;
which was the landmark from whence
started the line of separation between vast
Indian confederacies and which was rec
ognized In international negotiations as
the boundary between the provinces OF
France and the colonies of England

ment that Gen. Grant will accept the presi-
dency of the Nicaragua canal company re-
moves the seal of secrecy from two I'M
pOrtant facts the first of which is that the
quiet purpose Gen. Grant had in view dur
ing his tour through Europe was to learn for
himself what encouragementthe construction
of an inter-oceanic canal would receive from
European capitalists, if the enterprise was in
American hands, and the second is that the
of his willingness to accept
the presidency of this company is made with
his approval and as flank movement of his
so-called friends who have in spite of his
wishes insisted on bandying his name in con-
nectiOn with u denomination for the presl-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The consul at
Belfast reports the arrival at that port from
New York of the steamship Langshaw, the
second steamer of the Unicorn line running
in connection with the New York Central

ment of this line excites great interest in
Ireland and the arrival of the Langshaw
evoked the deep enthusiasm of the press and
people of Belfast. Besides a general cargo
of American produce the Langshaw brought
70 bullocks, 200 sheep, the first live stock
ever landed at Belfast from the United
States. The Langshaw was visited by i'm

RICHMOND, Ind, Aug. 6-The farmers
are very happy. need not tell you how
abundant the crops, for the Gdsette's CORES
pondents have seemed TO vie with each other
in finding the largest yield per acre But it
is worth while, perhaps, to record the fact
that the industrious farmer is happy. Why
shouldn't he be His barns are full his fields
ar dotted with stacks and his pocket book
is round and healthy. Most of them are
able to get out of debt, many are beginning
to repair buildings and replace worn out ma
chinery, and some are dcpositing money in
bank
1t has been difficult for many of our farm
crs To understand how there could be enough
money in the country and they not see any Of
it, The panic of 1873 was followed by poor
crops. For four years the yield of wheat
barely paid the cost of sowing it, without
counting the farmers labor or the interest on
his money If he had stopped to reason as
many of them did, he must have understood
that it WAS not the dearth of money, but of
crops, that kept him in debt and in need.
Perhaps in his sobcrer, better moments he
did understand it. But when men are in dis
trrss, when they see the mOrtgager taking
their land and the sheriff selling of the last
COW and the only horse, thay are not in
condition to act up Ia the standard of their
better judgments. But with an abundant
harvest reason is again asserting itself Full
barns and full purses have restored the rural
districts to their normal condition.
