RIVAL INTEROCEANIC
CANALS.

Our Washington dispatches report it
is quite evident that there are two parties
competing for the capital necessary for
canal, one of which, under the control of
citizens of the United States, favors the
Nicaragua route, and another, of which
M. Lesseps, of France, is president, adj
vOcates the Panama route. Mr.. Nathan
Appleton, of Roston, in an address de-
livered the United States Board Of Trade
warmly recommended the Panama route
as having been selected by the Paris In
ternational Congress last summer. 1t is
however, alleged that prior to the sitting
of that Congress at Paris a company had
been organized of which NJ Lesseps, Mr.
Appleton and Lieut.. Wyse were the prin-
cipal members, and had obtained from
the Government of Columbia conces-
sion authorizing them to build the canal
for certain percentage of the receipts
This company nominally deposited 750,
900 francs from the Columbian Govern
ment to guarantee for the performance
of it's part of the contract, but the deposit
was in the Columbian bonds purchased in
London at 80 per cent. Of their face
value. 1t is also asserted that the COM
pany is to take the Panama Railroad
after the completion of the canal at $14,
100000, it having cost but $7,000,000,
and that the railroad company is to re-
ceive 10000, 900 francs in canal stock.
In addition the company is authorized to
reserve 10 per cent of its shares for the
benefit of the founders and aiders of the
enterprise. If this be so, it is no wonder
that Messrs. Lesseps, Appleton and Wyse
urged the Paris Congress to take the
Panama route, which is under their con-
troll, and that they will make handsome
sums, should their scheme succeed. Ef-
forts will be made to secure before the
recess, the passage in Congress of a bill
appointing commission of competent
persons from military, naval and civil
life to determine the best route for an in
terocean canal, and to prevent such great
work falling into the hands of specula-
tors.

The Canadians are reviving their old
project of building a canal from the
Georgian Bay, northeast of Lake Huron,
through lake Simcoe and the chain of
smaller lakes east of it, to Lake Ontario.
The idea embraces a water highway for
barges, costing $3,OO0,00O. Another
project is for ship canal through that
great region which includes the York
ridges between Lake Simcoe and Toronto
which would cost from 25,000,000 to
$6O,OOO,OOO. The first seems to be the
most feasible, and quite as advantageous
for shortening the distance between Chi
cago and Montreal some hundreds of
miles, and the cheapest way of connect
ing the waters of Lake Huron with those
of Lake Ontario Taking the route pro-
jected from the Georgian Bay to the Bay
of Quinte, according to the surveys of
Government engineers, one hundred and
thirty-six miles are navigable, ffty-nine
miles of canal must be constructed, and
nine miles of unnavigable water are to
be overcome. One authority claims that
if this scheme were carried out it would
bring Chicago 400 miles nearer Montreal
than it is via the Erie Canal to New
York. 1t would also reduce the cost OF
transportation Of wheat so per cent, or
between and cents per bushel.

Nine Ristori has just had numerous
difficulties with the Berlin police about
the representation of Giacometti's tragic
drama, "Marie Antoinette" The presi-
dent Of the police, probably afraid of q
revolutionary demonstration, perempter-
lily forbade its performance. Nine Bis
tori, nothing daunted, personally appeal
ed to the Emperor, when he, enraptured
with her truly magnificent acting as
Mary Stuart, paid his respects to the cele
brated tragedienne behind the scenes at
the Theatre Royal. "Marie Antoinette,"
given at the National Theatre, had quite
the contrary effect from that anticipated
by the sage authorities for the touching
fate of the unfortunate Queen of France,
for instead of arousing any outburst OF
revolutionary feeling, it enlisted the SYM
pathies of the audience in favor Of perse-
cuted royalty.

SKETCH OF JAY GoULD.-Mr. Gould

SKETCH OF JAY GoULD.--Mr. Gould
comes from a Puritan stock that enigrat-
ed into the wilderness Of Delaware county,
n. Y, in the year 1880. He was born
upon the farm (where his father was) in
the town of Roxbury, ia the year 1885
Upon this farm he remained until he was
16 years old, and during that period he
went to district school. With the aid
of his devoted sisters he procured his edu-
cation, and at the age of Is compiled a
history OF Delaware county that was so
complete that no historian has since at
tempted to improve upon it. Previous
to arriving at his majority he had, by ac-
tual survey, published maps Of Delaware,
Ulster and Albany counties, in this State,
and several counties in the state of Ohio.
From these enterprises, organized and
carried out by this young farmers son,
he had accumulated $1,000. Colonel
Zadock Pratt, at that time a great tan
ner OF the day, saw in Young Gould the
elements of a great man, and with him
conducted the tanning business successful
ly for several years. AS Mr.. Gould de-
veloped in experience, he saw greater
fields OF usefulness for him, and about the
year 1860 he went to New York, compa-
ratively stranger, and without anything
pertaining to fortune This stranger,
without any great influential power, eth
er pecuniary, social OF political, without
a commercial or financial education, but
an organizer, and, to great extent, the
executor of his own plans, has developed,
at this early age of 45 years, the great
financier of his day. To his credit, from
boyhood he has abstained from tobacco,
wines and liquors. He is kind-hearted
gentleman, diffident in manners, but
warm and devoted to his friends.

THE WORD MONEY!.

Nineteenth Century; The derivation
OF the words relating to money ard com
merce are interesting and instructive.
"Pecuniary" takes us back to the time
when value was reckoned by SO many
heads of cattle. The word money is
from moneta, because in Rome coins were
first regularly struck in the temple of
Sumo Moneta, which again was derived
from monere, to warn, because it was
built on the spot where Manlius heard
the Gauls approaching to the attack OF
the city. Coin" is probably from the
Latin cuneus, a die or a stamp. Many
coins are merely so-called from their
weight, as for instance our pound, the
French livre, Italian Ira; Others from
the metal, as the aureus; the 'rupee''
from the Sanskrit 'rupys'', silver; others
from the design, as the angel, the testoon,
from teste or tcte, head others from the
head of the State as the sovereign, crown;
others from the proper name of the mon
arch, such as a daric, from Darius, ,sth,
Philip, Louis, dor, or the Napoleon. The
dollar or thaler is from the Joachimstaler,
or money of the Joachimas Valley, in Bo-
hemia where these coins were first struck
IN the sixteenth century. Gulneas were
called after the country from which the
gold is obtained, and the franc is an abbre-
Walton of the inscription Francorum Rer.
The sou" is from the Latin solidus
The word shilling is derived from a root
signifying to divide; and, in several cases
the name indicates the fraction of some
larger coin, as the denarius, half penny,
farthing cent and mill. The pound was
originally not coin, but weight and
comes from the Latin pondus Our
pound was originally pound of silver,
which was divided into 240 pennies. The
origin of the word penny is unknown.
Some have derived it from pendo, to
weigh but this does not seem very salts
factory. Our word Sterling" is said to
90 back to the time of the conquest, but
the derivation has been much disputed.
Some have supposed that it was first
attributed to coins struck at Sterling, but
for this there is not the slightest evidence;
others that the name was derived from
coins having a star on the diverse, but
no coins which could give rise to such a
name are known The most probable
suggestion is that it has reference to the
Easterling or North German merchants.

GENERAL COOKS ENCOUNTER
WITH 4 BLIZZARD.

General Crooks escape from death in
the prairies was a narrow one. With
two friends he was goose-shooting in the
Platte valley, Neb. The party were two
miles from the farm house where they
made their headquarters when "bliz-
zard' or binding snow storm suddenly
came up. General Crook shot goose,
and in attempting to get it lost his hat.
In following it he dropped through an
ice hole. The water fortunately was not
deep, but it thoroughly chilled him. He
recovered his hat, and remarked that he
was cold and numb, and would return to
the house. A few minutes afterwards his
friends also started, shaping their course
by the rivers course. One remarked
that he felt uneasy about Crook, who, he
feared, might have missed his way. The
other rejected the idea, but during a
slight cessation of the storm the first
sportsman insisted that he could see the
figure of a man behind them. A loud
shout was sent up and repeated again
and again. Finally Crooks figure was
recognized as he came staggering up,
and it was discovered that he was we'll
nigh chilled to death. His ears and
feet were frozen, his neck was covered
with ice, and he was unable to speak
aloud. His comrades helped him to the
house, and for two or three days he was
unable to proceed further his friends re-
naming with him. He had become con
fused, and, travelling in circles, had fallen
into the river a second time, when he
discovered his mistake and rapidly re-
traced his steps, but none too soon to
save his life. Crook has always prided
himself on being able to endure severe
storms without any protection but an
overcoat, and in many Winter campaigns
has set his men rare examples of endur-
ance But for his friends, however, he
would have tested his physical powers
once too often.

The abolition of slavery in Cuba APP
pears, after many years, to be in fair
way of accomplishment, although the
final steps have not yet been taken by
the Spanish Government. A telegram
from Madrid to the Spanish Minister at
Washington, yesterday, states that sthe
first five sections of the law for the aboli-
ton of slavery had passed the Spanish
Senate. The first section says: 'Slav-
cry is hereby abolished on the Island of
Cuba, in accordance with the enactment
of this law" Next Tuesday, it is antici-
pated, the whole law will pass by large
majority.

A CHARITABLE FETE.--PAR1s, France,
December 18.-The fete given last even
ing by the press for the relief of the suf-
ferers by the Murcian inundations in
Spain, was one of the most brilliant
events that Paris has witnessed since the
close of the exhibition. Journalists, re-
gardless of the politics, combined to make
it most unique and brilliant spectacle,
and the Government, the foreign Ambas-
sadors,' the stage, the opera, and the pub
lie lent their aid to the sacred work of
charity. The management was entirely
under the control ofjournalists. The fete
was held in the Hippodrome, on the
banks of the Seine, and was great pc
cuniary success.

The pension records at Washington re-
veal the fact-if it be one-that there are
still 32,S15 survivors of the War of 1872
in the United States. Of these q, 1914
are represented to be widows, and the
cost to the Government in pensioning this
veteran crowd is more than $4,000, 600
annually According to a fair estimate,
every one Of these widows must be over
81 years old. Under such circumstances,
fraud is evident. The country has ey-
pended within the past sixteen years,
nearly $500, 100000 for pensions, and the
taxpayers have right to know whether
they have been cheated in this oyerdone
pension business, or not.
