George NJ Higgnson. no has lived thirty six years
in Chicago, and ought to know all about it, wrote
a letter lately to The London Times concerning the
future Of that city and the State of Illinois, which
seems 10 have given all England an electric shock.
The Spectator sums up the whole matter IN brief.
Illinois, it says, is a huge competing farm, nearly
AS large as England, where the soil, and rich,
can be had for a nominal price. The corn crop is
already three times the English wheat crop, the
wheat T. a third of the whole English harvest, and
there are stu $40 600 900 acres untitled. BY open
ing canals Chicago hopes to load wheat ships at her
wharves which shall sail straight to Liverpool.
Illinois beef sells IN London at 3l2i per pound.
illinois Il but one state in the great, almost I'M
opened West. And this while the English tenant
pays a rental of / 1 per acre for land worn out two
centuries ago. Ii the rates of transportation can
be reduced, and tho vast supply Of American food
is thrown into his markets TO undersell him,
even lower than at present. what is he to dof This
was the question: which Parliament considered last
week. Three ways of relief open to him.
First-Landords must come down with their rents
The Prince OF Wales sot the example half a dozen
great landlords followed. But the reduction must
be greater than any yet made. They overlook the
fact that the American farmers land needs but
light ploughing aud can be worked by the owners.
1t is rich black mould, which has been ripening for
ages. The soil in England ouly yields what the
yearly topdres5ng will give 1t is lean aud greedy

on such platform will be thing to be
proud of.
1t was New-York, sngularly enough, that
took its turn yesterday in yellow fever
sensation Two genuine cases were founo
in the immediate neighborhOOd. one In Brooh-
lyn and one in Hobolen. The former was that
of "A fireman on Havana steamer who hau
lust arrived in this city; the latter was
that of refugee from Memphis Add TO this
that the Brooklyn Board of Health discovered
that Health Officer Vanderpoel, for some IN
explicable reason had allowed vessel from
Havana. which had had several cases OF yei-
low fever on board, to come up from Vuai"h-
tine for repairs. and it will be seen that there
was, altogether, more or less 1ounua'loh ~,
n yellow fever "sensatiOn." DR.. Nanderpoei
had ordered that the hatchways OF Ihe
vessel should be kept closed, that DO
member of the crew should be aiIo"eu
to go ashore etc, while the repairs were III
progress. 1t is clearly within the bounds Oh
reason to say thnt if these precautions were
necessary at all, the vessel was not Ill a III con-
dition TO be allowed to touch at Brooklyn, Us
pecialy as all the repairs could nave oeei
made nc Quarantine at sllght auui'io"''
evncpse. To be sure, neither this incident
nor the discovery Of the two cases OIL lever
need cause any alarm. Both these cases were
brought here; they did not arise here. Dut
the fact that fireman of an lnlec'eu
vessel. having already himself contracted
the disease, though, of course, without KNOW
ing it, should be allowed to enter the Guy Is
enough to cause some disquietude. we ell-
IDENTITY need very strict watchtulness on the
part Of our Health Officers.

The New-York State Republican Convention has
not yet been called, but it is generally understood
that 1t will be held early IN September. With their
usual hesitation about moving before their adj
versares take the field, the Democrats will prob
ably fix upon a later date. we shall not have the
canvass formally opened before the middle of the
month. Practically, however It will begin IN Au-
gust, when the Maine campaign gets lively. The
issues in all the Northern states which vote next
Fall are Identical No matter how much the Dem
ocrats may try to drag local questions TO the front
they Will not be able 20 escape from the record OF
the extra session. They are the defensive and
no attempts to divert the Republican attack will be
successful. The progress Of the Maine canvass Will
be watched by the people of this State with much
interest az though the struggle were going on
within our own borders, because it is in fact
struggle on the same lines and for hesame principles
as the fight IN NewYork. After Maine votes the
interest will concentrate upon Ohio. Thus il may
be said that the New-York campaign will be fought
in Maine during the month of August and In Ohio
during September The tug of war will not come
here until October when we shall undoubtedly have
a canvass as brisk as it will he brief.

Paris is fertile in great engineering projects.
Scarcely is the Panama Canal scheme launched
when plan for railway from Algiers across the
Desert of Sahara to Timbuctoo is preached The
projectors are two eminent engineers VI. DuDonchel
and Baron Bande. They claim that route over
solid ground could be found for the whole of the
distance except forty miles, where 1t would be
necessary to erect a timber tunnel like the snow
sheds along the Central Pacific Railroad, to keep
the shifting sands Of the desert off the track. From
Algiers to TimbuctoO is about 900 miles, and the
estimated cost of the road is SS0,000,00O. With
characteristic French attention to detail the en-
gneers have developed their project paper so far
as to suggest means for supplying water to trains
traveTsing the desert. Ii is claimed that the valley
of the Niger and the basin Of Lake 1schad are OF
surprising fertility and produce large crops OF rice
cotton, indigo and sugar-cane, which a railroad
could proftably carry to European markets. If IN
single generation the French add to the great
achievement of the Suez Canal the still greater
one of the Panama Canal and then carry clvllIza-
ton to the heart of Africa by railway across the
sands of the Sahara, they will certainly justify
their claim to being the most enterprsing people in
the world The Sahara Road would resemble our
Pacific Road in running for n great part OF Its
length through an arid region afTordng it traffic;
but instead of reaching Mt its terminus large civil
lied community, with a worldwide commerce, it
would find only teeming horde OF barbarous
blacks. who would have to adopt new modes Of life
before they could produce a surplus of agricultural
products for the road to transport. Still, human
nature is pretty much the same everywhere. and
the sight of French ginghams and gimcracks,
to be had for rice or cotton, would soon cause the
Soudan negro to lay aside the war-club and take
I'D the hoe.
