TIE Oneidaus must 60. said decent
people in central New York. But the
Oneida community had large property
interests at stake. Its leaders felt that
their queer practices in regard to
Complex marriage were an offense to
society. Menaces of criminal prosecu-
tion were loudly uttered. The commu-
nifty was at first defiant and asked the
people what they were going to- do
about it. The voice Of the people wa
unmistakable. The leaders were shrewd
Complex marriage was their pet
theory. 1t is as outrageous a system
as anything that a be imagiued out
side of Utah. 1t declares the union
of one man with one woman to be the
most selfish thing on earth. So the
whole lot of women are, as it were,
married to the whole lot of men.
Strangely enough, this system is now
to be broken up. Father John Hum

thrown overheard. The members of
the community will be at liberty to
marry or not to marry, as they please.
Society will demand that if they marry
they shall remain married, or else be
discharged from their matrimonial
bonds in the usual manne So radical
a change in the manner and methods
of the Oneida community will probably
shake the organization to its very base.
Complex marriage" has been its bond
of union. This being loosed there is
nothing to keep the concern together.
In favor of its members it must be said
that in spite of their disgusting system
of matrimony they are Industrious sob
er, clearly and thrifty. There are a
lot OF children growing up among them
who have no particular parents. Exact
ly what is to be done with them under
the new arrangement is not definitely
stated. The property element will
probably not be a strong enough bond
to keep the members together. If they
marry, they will have a most awful ex-
perience in making their selections.
The men will all want the good looking
women, who are not at all numerous,
though many of 1.-The men are pretty
good looking fellows. Those who do
marry will probably ask for their share
of the property and go away. The
leaders will refuse to give it to them so
they will go away without it. Then
the property will gradually fall into the
hands of Noyes and a few of his
shrewdest and most crafty followers,
who will get wealthy and die, and so at
last the whole miserable organization
will pass out of existence, which is just
what it should have done long ago

THE LEADER has heretofore spc

THE LEADER has heretofore spoken
Of the Nicaragua route, as being likely
to be selected for the interoceanic ship
canal. In describing this proposed
route Capt. VIM. IL Place. an old hand
at engineering on the isthmus and one
Of Commodore Vanderbilt's right hand
men in that section, says of it: ''There
is water communication from the gulf
TO within five miles of the Pacific. Then
there is an unbroken channel suscept-
ible of being divided and deepened to
any extent, a country teeming with
natural wealth and a host of laborers
at hand"
The New York Mall y This
would be accomplished by following
nearly the line of travel by which he
used to take passengers from the At
lantic to the Pacific. He recommends
starting, not from Graytown, but from
the mouth of the San Juan proper, to
the south. The work required from
that point to the junction with the
branch to Graytown would be less than
Capt. Eads has done Mt the mouth of
the Mississippi, and the natural harbor
would float, says Capt. Place, all the
navies in the world. The San Juan
river, to Lake Nicaragua, is chiefly
shallow, with sand bars, rapids and
rocks at intervals; but the sand is soft
and easily drilled, the rocks and rapids
can be removed by the simplest engin-
eering, and the supply Of water is mex
haustible, the mountain rivers pouring
into the San Juan their full torrents at
short distances all along its course. On
the western side of the lake is found
the river Limon, with a channel extend
ing five miles from its mouth leaving
five miles of land to be cut through to
the Pacific, with nothing in the way but
a gentle declivity.
From Capt. Places description of
this route, as given in the Herald, the
work of cutting a canal by it seems ex-
ceedingly easy. The formidable noun
tains of the Panama route disappear,
and we find nothing worse than the
sand through which the Suez canal was
cut. A natural water course along al
most the entire route, and a regular
and full supply of water, brought down
from the mountains by the impetuous
rivers and regulated by the two lakes,
Nicaragua and Monagua. present them

THE colored people of Mississippi are
not considered a ''good riddance," as
many of the politicians of that state
averred a short time since. On the
contrary every effort is being made to
induce them to stay. Even Congress
man Singleton, who Is ambitious to
succeed Senator Bruce, recently made
to them this extraordinary appeal:
''Stand with the democratic party. 1t
is the best friend you have. God knows
know and mean what l say. Don't
go to Kansas. This is your home. If
elected to the United States senate i
don't promise you any greater fidelity

PROGRESS

The loss of the Nordenskjold, on her
way to meet the Vega, says the New
York Mail, is not SO great a calamity
a. it might have been, for all the crew
were saved and Prof. Norlenskjold had
no need of a rescuing party, as he says
in his letters. He has safely made a
voyage never before accomplished, and
has secured some interesting data for
et~hnologists, Psychologists, botanists
and geographers. Rounding the North
east Cape, the most northern point of
the continent, he reached the river
Lena, and thence made his way to the
Behring Strait. The only excursion
northward which he made seems to
have been to the New Siberian islands,
where the Tchukchi go, over the ice, in
the spring, to collect ivory, and whence
they return in the autumn. His voy-
age was chiefly confined to hugging the
coast, which he was obliged to do in or
der to obtain clear water. He frequent
ly sailed in twenty feet of water, the
Vega drawing seventeen, taking ad-
vantage of the channel between the
shore and the ice. Entire Ignorance
of the water, almost impenetrable
masses of ice, and thick fogs, were
the difficulties with which he had to
contend.
Prof. Nordenskjold's intercourse
with the natives was exceedingly in
teresting, as he found them friendly
and communicative. The Tchukchi
seem to have had some dealings with
whalers from the east, as n of the
boys could count to ten in English.
The people assert that their forefathers
drove out their predecessors two hun
bred years ago, the latter going further
north. The Tchukchi seem to be allied
to the MongolIans of Southern Asia
and the American Esquimaux, and
Prof. Nordenskjold regards the custom
Of the women and children going naked
in their tents as a mark of Their
southern origin. The youngsters even
run from tent TO tent in a state Of ma.
ture, with the Thermometer below the
freezing point. The CLOTHING of seal
skin, bearskin and intestines, the in
struments OF walrus tusks, and the foot
Of roots, a few herbs, fat and the pluck
from the intestines Of deer, show how
they have adapted themselves, like TIL,
Esquimaux, to the exigencies of theil
present residences. With regard tt
other scientific facts, Prof. Norden
skiold has found that much Of the sur
face laid down on our maps as land, ii
water, and that lagoons are common be
tween the continent and a bank of lane
on which some Of the Tchukchi live
His voyage has been a successful one
and he has obtained a vast amount o.
information, the particulars of which
we shall not know until he submits {
full report.
