THE PROPOSED CANAL.

Our public spirited citizens mnst bear
in mind the canal meeting to be held
in Yesler's Hall on Saturday afternoon
Of this week. This is an enterprise
requiring the expenditure Of no more
money than has been already sub
scribed, and is one that. in proportion
to the outlay necessary. will pay Seattle
and King county more handsomely than
any other. There is room for an in-
terhsl commerce back Of our city that
mot including coal and lumber in the
near future will amount TO thousands
Of tons annually. The navigation will
iscluds length Of nearly hundred
and fifty miles lake and river-sll
within our own county, and a dozen
steamers will find constant employment
In the trade of the tens OF thousands OF
producers and consumers who will then
dwell npon the beautiful ana fertile
lands surrounding these waters. Seattle
will then be upon an island. having
Puget Sound on its front, Lakes WASH
ington and Union behind, and the two
outlets Of these lakes on either side.
We will st once have a double front 10
our live little city; the two hundred
people dwelling in the Lake Union sub

there constructed, stores started, &c.
There is much to commend thi, project
to our people, and we hope they will
push Il 10 an immediate and successful
Termination.

into Court looking bright and healthy,
but her scars told plainly of brutal vic

the deed. Cora Heslep is not vel! yet,

Sugar Production and Consumptiou.

The figures given in an article entitled 80 The
Worlds Sugar Production, - which is going the
rounds of the newspapers, and which we repro
duced in our recent January number, are far below
the reality. We remarked at that time that the
statistics there given were too low. as they were 81
years old, and that the world had certainly pro-
gressed during that period, first, in population,
but still more in capacity, and We closed the ar
ticle by saying " Ii the reader increases all the
figures p per cent. lie Will certainly be nearer
the truth"
We have now been furnished with statistics OF
the present y, and they show that the ratio of
increase in the consumption of Sugar per head of
population has really increased about % per
cent, but that the production has increased 100
per cent.-actually doubled, which fact, we must
confess, far exceeds our expectations. The pro-
duction of Cane Sugar has increased in Brazil
from $50 to 400 million pounds in the British
colonies from 440 to 600 millions in the Dutch
colonies from 160 to 400 millions for Java alone.
The Beet Root Sugar in Franco from $50 to 900
millions the same in Germany, from $50 TO 700
millions in Russia, from 100 to 500 million
pounds and all the other producers in proper
ton The amount of Cane Sugar produced in all
countries is now 5000 million pounds, and OF Beet
Root Sugar 2 800 millions grand total ofraw SUI
gar produced in the whole world, : 800 million
pounds-more than double that produced p
years ago.
OF this Sugar, New York city refnes nineteen
thousand barrels per day the other cities Of the
United States. eleven thousand barrels making
a total OF thirty thousand barrels, which amounts
to almost ten million barrels (of go pounds each)
Per year, consisting Of more than one-quarter of
the whole Sugar production of the world. This
last fact gives the best illustration OF the immen-
sity Of the Sugar interest in the United States

ANCIENT CoNUNDRUMs.-'' Married people,
said Epaminondas, 90 cannot talk as freely and
rapidly as young people,
=" hadn't noticed it., said Pelopidas, g and
don't think it is true
But it is true, " replied the illustrious The
ban, IS because-'
Because they are paired - sagely asked bis
friend.
Espaminondas shook his head.
80 Because the two married people are only one,
while each of the young people is one, two?"
Epaminondas looked sad, and stifled a rising
sigh.
Pelopidas thought a moment and said
F." Because their two 6 heads have but q single
thought"
81 oh, no. the statesmen said, IS it isn't neces-
sary to have even one thought to do an infinite
amount of talking. Look at the Congressional
Record. No." he continued, with an air of in
terest, IS but you know the marriage service is
conducted orally? Verbally? BY word of mouth,
or tongue, as you may say, the knot, matri-
monial is tied
Eyes, said Pelopidas, { l see SO far"
Well, them" said Epaminondas, with Il
faint CLEAN of triumph on his face, 50 the married
folk do the less talking because they are tongue
tied"
Pelopidas was wrapped in silent amazement
for a few moments, and then said it was a pretty
good conundrum, if that was its first appearance
in the West, but it reminded him of q man
building a o~ne-story house.
How is that?" asked the soldier statesman.
Blamed sight more scafolding than house."
said Pelopidas.
And then Epaminondas set his teeth and
muttered that it was a pity some people were
born without any appreciation for anything
