On daysof arbitration, which might be

MCE's FORT.

Northeast OF West Alexander, on the
Dutch fork OF Buffalo creek, stood the eel
ebrated Indian fortress known as Rice's
Fort. Near that fort Daniel Link, 4 f.
nous Indian fighter, was, almost q hun.
dred years ago, wounded in a skirmish
with the Indians, when they tied him on
the back OF 0 black stallion, and he was
never heard Of again. FROM that fort, and
near the same time, Daniel Rice, another
frontier hero, mounted a swift mare, on q
dark rainy night in midsummer, to ride 10
block house built on the farm now own
ed by James Hodgens, nsar Tsylorstovp.
which was then known as New Bruns-

New Brunswick that o band oil Indians
were abroad. He gave the warning and
was returning rapidly to his own fort,
when in the hills, near what is known as
RroYnlees Round meadow, bullet crash

The erratc action of the Missouri river
causes each spring great deal of trouble to
those who dwell upon its banks, and, when
the bordering country becomes more thor
oughly settled, bids fair to lead to any num-
Der of disputes and Inconvenience. The
river has habit, when flushed with the
melted SHOWS and rains of March and April
of SEE king out new channels for itself, regard
less of the wishes of those whom its changes
incommode. An obstruction as slight as a
sunken tree is often sufficient to make the
preliminary eddies which afterward turn at
quite an angle the current of the mighty
stream. In consequence of these changes,
farmers sometimes find their land trans
formed into the river bed, and towns, as, for
instance Forest City, Mo-, which were once
on the rivers brink, are left several miles
away from the water, But a curious circum-
stance is the political changes that are thus
brought about for, as the river is the bound
airy line between different States thousands
of acres of land which were once in Missouri
are suddenly added TO Kansas, or Cice rerSd,
aud townships are frequently broken up in a
summary manner It would be interesting
to know what settlement would be arrived at
if some high State official, the Governor of
Kansas for instance, should be by this means
divorced from his commonwealth.

The DARIEN CANAL.-The first step toward
raising money for the canal across the isthmus
of Panama has been taken in Paris, and mon
ey is so cheap the world over that it may be
possible to induce investors to sink S220,-
OOO, 900 in the proposed work. This is the
estimated cost of the enterprise, but it may
be safely predicted that the capital first raised
will be sunk in this stupendous work, whose
difficulties are still unknown, and the esti-
mated cost doubled before completion. The
cost of the Suez canal was originally put at
$40, 600, 600, it finally cost $50, 900, 600, and
has paid interest on the investments but that
work had the advantage of forced labor.
Gangs of fellahs 30, 900 at time were driven
to the work by the pasta of Egypt and,
while they were nominRlly free, their indus
try was as truly slave labor as any employed
by the Pharaohs. No aid Of this kind can be
had at the isthmus of Panama, and all the
labor must be imported The same thing
had to be done when the Panama railroad
was built and a human life was lost for ev-
cry tie laid A like mortality will probably
accompany the building of the canal at the
same point, if it is ever built 1t appears to
be the general impression that the United
States were snubbed in the selection of a
route, and the organization of a company is
being so managed as to give Americans no
control over the project, -SprinGtied Repu6-
