The Istnnnus Question.

New York, 12.-Captain Eads, now

day, that he is confident of carrying

Lesseps' canal project is dead.
A. g. Menocal sails in toe AcGPulco
to-day, with view to obtain additional
data respecting the Nicaragua route for q
canal. He stated to a Herald reporter:
"The 81 ecial object of my visit this time
is to make further observations of the
rainfall and flow of the stream through
which our route will pass. By original
surveys it was shown that a Nicaragua
canal would have the greatest cutting 1870
feet; we think this may be reduced to
forty feet by making passage through
the valley in which the flow of water is
but 5000 cubic feet per second" lie

weeks, and then be able to put govern
ment in full possession of all that /:
necessary to know about the canal pro-
ject of any kind in Nicaragua.

Northern Pacific Land Grants

Washington, 11-At the extra session
of Congress the bill to extend the time
for the completion of the Northern
Pacific Railway was referred to q sub
oUmmitLuv of tho House committee on
railroads, consisting of Ellis, of Louisi-
anan, Chalmers, of Mississippi, Wilber,
of New York, Newberry, of Michigan,
and Hammer, of Tennessee. This COM
mittee have been idle until to-day, when
it was called together and Ellis submit
ted some of the report, which took
strong grounds against the passage of the
bill, on the ground that the Northern
Pacific had forfeited all its claim to
about 36,0OO,O0O acres Of land, and re-
commended that it be either opened for
settlement or transferred to some other
company. There were indications that
the views of Ellis were concurred In by
Chalmers and Wilbur, but they were
dissented from with emphasis by New
berry and Hsrmer. The reading of the
report was not completed, and no action
was taken. 1t is understood that the
Union and Central Pacific interests have
been quietly working against this bill
while the Northern Pacific people have
been asleep, the object of the former
being double; first, to prevent the COM
petition that will come from the compile
ton of the Northern Pacific, and second,
to secure for what is known as the Walla
Walla route, the land on the Tactic
slope heretofore granted TO the Northern
Pacific.

There's no place like home.

Emotion was visible in all. A slight
tremor in his voice showed that he felt
the words; and, when he concluded
them, his pause was prolonged, and
deep sigh escaped him. When he re-
commenced, "An exile from home"
the agitation of those around him was
merged in attention, but his increased.
His face was slightly averted, and the
rays of the moon, as they fell upon 1t,
and glistened in tear that trickled
down his rugged cheek, gave additional
effect TO the expression, evidently OF
pain, which his features bore.
He was, indeed, as l had learned, ''an
exile from home though from what
cause / never discovered-and the
smothered feeling of years was loosed,
and found unrestrained expression. He
continued. As the song drew to close
his emotion grew, with that of every
one who listened. At length, as the
line,
There's no place like home
rose on the stiffness the last time, rush
of emotion was evident in all, which in
MANY showed itself in tears. The man
who from boyhood had braved oceans
perils; and he who, an outcast, knew
no home; and he of turbid passions
and unholy deeds, equally with the high
minded, the virtuous, and the plous,
gave tribute of thanks to him who had
so well timed and so feelingly sung one
of the most grateful songs that ever
greets sailors ear at sea.-Hon. q. Z,
Drake, in Interior.

A Petrified Human Hand.

A curiosity which astonished scien-
lists and puzzled them to account for IS
now on exhibition in Gould's cabinet at
Mill City. 1t is a perfectly formed
hand, which apparently belonged to
boy about fourteen years Of age. The
hand is open, the fingers being Sigh
bent toward the palm, on which the
thumb rests. The back of the hand
seems to have been crushed or decom-
posed before it was petrified. but the
palm, thumb, and fingers are perfect
We were informed that it was found at
the sulphur beds near Rabbit Hole by
one of the men employed in shoveling
crude sulphur into the refining retort.
and is supposed to have been imbedded
in the sulphur bank for ages. The
fingers are comparatively snort, fact
which indicates that it did not belong to
an Indian, as the red mems fingers are
generally longer than those of the
white; but the thumb is rather longer
than the average. To what race the
owner of the hand belonged, and how
and when it was imbedded in the sui
phur, will probably remain unknown,
unless some scientist should investigate
the hand and the sulphur bank where it
was found and explain these mys-
teries.- HTnnemucca (Ner. } Silrer State.

Anecdote Of sold Hickory"

Andrew Jackson's peculiar liking and
respect for laboring men is picturesque
" shown by story related in the Nash
Vile Banner. John Cryer, q mason,
was on several occasions engaged to
build chimneys at the Hermitage, and
while at work often observed the most
refined and wealthy people of Nashville
coming to visit the General and mis-
wife. The good mason, having more or
less of mortar ornamenting his clothes,
would say to jackson that he :" would
not 90 to the first table to eat that
he .was not fit to appear in such eie-
giant company" The General always
replied: "You must 60 to the first tar
BILE, sir; laboring man ought TO pc as
highly honored as any man in the com,
m1nity, for the support OF the worio
depends ON their labor. i will see that
YOU are treated with proper respect AZ
my table" This story is certainly 10
the credit of Jackson's democracy, how
ever it may be as to his social g'aces.
Cryer, frequently laughing, said that ne
had been more honored than any man
in the world, for President jackson nad
frequently waited on him and orougns
him brick and mortar, when his regular
attendant was out Of the way.

EXPERIMENTS WITH SALICYLIC ACID.

EXPERIMENTS WITH SALICYLIC ACID.
In his many experiments with sali-
cylic acid, Prof. Kobe, OF Leipsic, has
found that rain or river water contain
ing one twenty-thousandth of a grain
thereof will keep sweet in warm room
four weeks or more, while similar water
not SO treated soon becomes unpleasant
to the taste. This was confirmed by an
experiment on a large scale-that is,
water charged with one grain of sail
cylic acid to twenty liters was placed on
board ship for years voyage, and was
found sweet and free from organic mat
ter when, at the end of voyage, the
casks were opened. Milk treated with
the acid remains sweet more than day
longer than without it. As a remedy
for rheumatism the usefulness of the
acid appears unquestionable.

prevent infringement of the patent the
defendants claim, among other things,
that the subject itself (Oleomargarine)

void because of concealment from the
public Of important conditions essential
to success; that this invention was
known and patented in England as early
as 1900, 1926, and 1885, and was patent
ed in America as long ago as 1871, there

A CONGRESSMAN'S IDEA OF
HEAVEN.

At the November election, some~
what to the surprise of the country
at large, Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, OF
Brooklyn, was elected to congress,
defeating Hon. S. B. Chittenden,
who has been member for two or
three terms. Mr.. Smith is green
hacker, and is credited with being
little erratic in his politics. For,
Notwithstanding he has been popu-
lar preacher, little on the sensa-
tioDal order, perhaps, he has found
time to study and practice politics.
But his views on politics are no
more novel, perhaps, than bis views
on religion. He preached a sermon
last Sabbath, occupying the pulpit
of the noted Talmage. His theme
was "Heaven." He took for his
text, l. Corinthians, XIV. chapter
and 41st verse: "For one star diff
fereth from another star in glory"
His theory is, that every man builds
his own heaven, and his ideas dc
not correspond with the orthodox
view of that place. Said he:
Now we don't know much of heaven
but we do know that it is OF the heaY
en- described in the Biblical history
Just think of it, heaven paved witt
gold. Why, if heaven were psvee
