The Columbia Canal,

10 use paraphrase, Columbia
never is, but always to be, blest. AT
periodic intervals slight spasm Of
enthusiasm over the canal seizes the
Columbians, and they promise to have
factories in operation in the shortest
possible time. But something turns
up, and nothing is done.
The Legislature appropriated eleven
thousand dollars six months ago, to be
expended on the canal. AS vet. not
u cent of the money, if we are correct
~ informed, has been expended.
Nobody seems willing to take tho
responsibility Of putting it to use.
The canal commissioners show that
they arc not intrustcd with it, and
although It is made payable to the
order oftho superintendent of the pcni-
tentlary he seems to be doing nothing
III the matter. There is a hitch some

The End,

Congress adjourned on the 1st inst.
after all extra session of threo and a
half months. The Judicial bill abol-
'ehlng the test oath and preventing the
cmpanc!ing OF partisan ,iurics was ap-
proved by Hayes, and thus the South
mas succeeded III securing the reforms
she demanded. Tho days Of Bond
and e. W. M. Mackcy are numbered.
The supplemental judicial bill appro-
priating money for tho regular mar
shals and prohibiting the use ofdeputy
marshals at elections was vetoed as
expected. This interesting class Of
political bummcrs will be unhappy
over their expulsion from the public
crib. AT one time it was thought that
Hayes would call an extra session,
but nc is reported as saying that no
good can be accomplished by this
course, and the country will not be
further annoyed.
Looking over the field, the Demo-
Gratis have gained several points. The
test oath and partisan juries are num-
bered among the things that were.
The army bill brings that arm of the
government in subjcction to the con-
stitution for one year longer at least.
And though the practical result in
this case is not considerable, still the
principle has not been abandoned, but
can be revived at the regular session
this winter.
IN the meantime the fall elections
will have taken place, and then both
parties can know more definitely
where they stand; and the fight this
winter in Congress can be shaped &C
cording to the result.
The Congressman have had a
fatiguing time, and those who have
stuck manfhlly to their posts deserve
the thanks Of their constituents. The
absentees should be rcmanded to pri-
vate life.

Mr.. John T. Shorts Ideas OF tho pron,b1.
Results or Great Eng gineoring Scheme.
-, From Scrlbner for July.
The only important objection which
has thus far been urged against the un-
lertaking has arisen in the apprehen-
sions expressed by u few scientists
that tile evaporation produced by SO
large and SO shallow body of water,
exposed toa tropical sun, would be
suihcientto dcluge Northern Europe
with lncessant rains, and to reduce
materially the temperature in all of
the countries north Of tho Alps. 1t
has even been feared that winds
tre'2hted with moisture, Oh crossing
the cold summit Of tho Alps, would
precipitate vast volumes Of water and
produce degree Of cold which would
give Denmark and Northern Germany
a semi-Arctic climate and produce u
glacial epoch farther north. Is it not
probable that all such apprehcnsions
arise out OF misunderstanding as to
tne topography of the Sahara and
North Africa? The entire region to
be Hooded is practically shut in by
mountain-chains on all sides. The
Atlas mountains on the north. lifting
their snowy-clad peaks in some in-
"S,"So ASSp5
bulwark for the protection of Europe
from increased humidity. The only
possible northerly outlet for air cur
rents from El Juf would be across in q
northcastcrly direction over the widest
part of the Mediterranean. Currents
moving in that direction if they reach
ed Europe at all, would touch the
shores of Greece after they had lost
most of their humidity. Nj. de Les
seps, after careful examination of the
question, is convinced that it would re-
suit IN the general Improvement of the
climate Of Europe rather than to it's
dctriment. The advantage of the in
creased evaporation to North Africa
cannot be ovcrestimatcd. Tie snow
clad cliffs of AbaD, lying to the east of
the proposed sea, and the Kong noun
tains to the south, would bring down
upon the parched desert grateful rains,
which, with the assistance of cultiva-
ton, would in time 10 doubt redeem
thousands Of square miles from the
dcsolation Of the sands.

a BALLOON BURsTs.-Onc Of tho

forwarded to tho queen at Balmoral,

statement received from one in posi-

kilograms flowing into the foreign
office, day and night, from all parts OF
Europe, have been unprecedented,
probably, in any previous administra-
