THE THREE GREAT PROJECTS OF
THE CENTURY.

Three great projects of worldwide uti.i-
ty are likely to be undertaken during the
next decade, viz: That of flooding the
great desert of Sahara from the Medeter-
anean; that of cutting ship canal through,
or building a ship railroad across the
isthmus of Darien, and that of cutting a
ship canal across the peninsular of Florida
Of the latter project one Of ouI exchange:
speaks as follows:
Anything that will add three cents &
bushel to grain is certainly worth consider
ing, and doing, if possible. Such a pro
iect is now on foot, and it is no less than {
shortening of the distance from the gul
cities to Europe and the cities on tn,
Atlantic coast from 1000 to 1900 miles b,
cutting a ship canal across the Floridi
peninsula. The location of the canal i
from the mouth Of the Suwanee river, above
Cedar Keys, on the gulf side to the Atlantic
coast. north Of ST. Augustine, between that
port and Jacksonville, on the st. Johns
river. The river will be used as far as
practicable, though requiring, straighten'
ing, and jetty system on the bar to be
constructed, which will make the distance
to be excavated about thirty miles, pos
sibly more. A company OF capitalists from
Europe were in St. Louis last week gather
ing statistics as 10 the volume
of trade likely to pass
through such a canal. They have spent
some time in Florida examining the vari-
GUS routes and in endeavoring to obtain a
special charter from the Legislature of that
state, which will be granted. All the
money is pledged for cutting through the
canal. The company Is satisfied that it
will pay double or treble the revenue of the
Suez canal II now takes six and a half
days for steamship from New Orleans to
New York, whereas by the canal the time
would be only three and half days, and
with sail vessels difference of fifteen days
will be in favor of the canal, besides avoid
ing the danger of doubling the peninsula.
1t supplements the jetties and will bring
the railroad managers to their senses"

enue who lives in Southern Hi
nois. Upon this subject, General Raum
thinks four or five hundred families could
get work and make living in three or four
counties of Southern Illinois, and be vel.
coined by farmers, especially about potato
digging time. HARRISON SAID that if the
men could make from IS to $l2 monthly
they could live on it, even though the fe-
males could not get work. General Raum
thinks four or five hundred families could
fiAd work in Southern Illinois and several
thousand families throughout the State. He
advised HARRISON to go out and look over
the ground himself. HARRISON says there
are now two committees from his district
in Kansas looking for place for 1000 or
1000 families to settle tins fall, but he
thinks they should scatter out into Illinois
Indiana, Ohio, and even Wisconsin, where
there is timber, rather than 90 to Kansas
if they can secure good treatment in Ala
bama he thinks it much better that they
stay there. He is more disposed to dis
courage than to encourage the exodus.

| know from a practical experience that
this is all that is necessary, if We build our
boats to carry from 1000 to 1900 tons on a
six.foot stage Of water. BY this means
only can we obtain cheap, fast transporta-
ton. There has been an utter. failure on
the part of steamboatmen in general to con-
struct their boats of the proper size and d.
mansions.
There is the James Howard, which draws

have no hesitation in saying, from my
knowledge in the business, without having
access to their books, that the City of
Quincy made more clear money during the
years she ran than did the Howard. The
barge line is an exceedingly useful and
proper enterprise, and has become fixed

but a little OF the right kind of fighting

that almost all the boats running anywhere
in the st. Louis and New Orleans trade are
utterly unfit for the service they should per-

DISCUSSING the feasibility Of railroad
across the great desert of Sahara, that COM
prises 50 large portion of Africa, the
st. Louis Times-J journal says that The tri-
umphs IN this county give ample assurance
that a railroad from Algeria to Timbuctoo,
distance of 1900 is entirely feasible. The
greatest obstacles to be encountered in
building the road through the desert are
thu, great heat, the absence of water and
the sitting of moving sands. The heat,
though great, is not facilitating and the
nights are cool. Actual experiment in q
number of places has shown that
water can be obtained by sink
ing wells. It is said that the sand storms
are confined to certain localities and that
sheds may be erected to protect the road
from their effects just as snow sheds were
erected on the Union Pacific Soudan, a
vast and fertile region in Central Africa,
with population of 100000 souls, is re-
garded as the finest region Of the earth not
yet open to trade with the civilized world.
Its products are wheat, millet, maize, rice,
cotton, tobacco and indigo. Iron ore is
found in vast quantities and the gold fount
In the streams indicates that Its mountains
are rich with this precious metal. The
people own large herds of cattle, horses
sheep and goats. Few new countries hav,
ever offered more brilliant prospects fo
trade than Soudan. and it is to give Frencl
commerce the benefit Of this that NJ. Du
fauchel, the engineer, proposes his trans
6sharian railroad.

COMING NORTH NEXT FALL.

Ex-Congressman Jere HARRISON, of Ala
bama, thinks that as many as 100000
negroes will leave Alabama next fall for
the North, and Commissioner Raum has
given him to understand that as many as
500 families might find good homes in
Southern Illinois. Nobody knows, better
than the colored men now here, that South
ern Illinois already has more colored peo-
pie than succeed in making living; and
should tide Of Alabama cmigrants set in
this direction, the more intelligent colorcd
peopleamong us will be the first to strive
to turn it aside to more inviting localities.
We have the authority Of u Washington
dispatch for saying that Mr.. HARRISON is of
the opinion that not less than $4,000 will
leave his district alone, this fall, TO say
nothing of other parts Of the State. The
same rate from other districts will take
100000 from Alabama alone. Mr.. HARRISON
describes himself as not much of an exodus

which should be used with great caution
