The ImpOFtance-O of the IsthmuS
Canal.

Mr.. Ninmo has completed his special
report, showing by statistics the com.
merciGl importance Of the proposed
Nicaraguan inter-ocesnic canal, and
demonstrates the incalculable benefit
it will ba TO the Pacific coast, tho Mis-
sissippi Valley and the Atlantic States.
In the matter Of freights alone he
shows that the whole cost OF the pro-
jeot in less than ten years would more
than pay itself to the American people
not to speak of the benefit to other ma
tions. The Mississippi Valley, 1t also
shows, is rapidly becoming manufse.

EDIToR OF THE RECORD Il noticed
some time ago an article in your col
umns fren "a plastersr" in regard to
poorly built houses. He was quite cor.
rest. Hundreds have found ont to
their sorrow that an investment in
houses that have been built within the
last twenty, one years is one OF the poor
est that can be made. Now let me show
how plasteripg Is done. A boss will
put some boys to lathing who know
nothing about II, and tell them to lath
close in order to save material, thereby
allowing the mortar no chance to "key"
Then they do what is called "Iaid.oH.
work." which is thin coat run on the
face Of the lath without the proper key.
Some very poor stuff ia Immediately ap
piled, then ridsed down with short
strap called "darby." and the brown
work is called finished. Nonsense. Such
work Is good for nothing. Yen must
have good lathing that will allow q
good and heavy key for your first coat,
which should be good, clean sand,
well haired--no gravel. Then it should
bs we'll scored and allowed o"get per-
fectly dry before applying the second
coat, then dry again before white coat
ing. such course will produce plas-
tsring like the Girard work. Such de-
oaption is practicsd by all other
mechanics carpentere, painters, brick
layers and plumbers. Now let them
stsp.to the front and expose such work
aud by.aad.by we will be able to
Danish the evil of poorly built houses
as THB RECORD has the bosus-doctor

ALoyervs Revenge.

The latest and worst case Of lovers
revenge comes from Australia. A young
man whose afianced went back on him
and broke off their engagement, reeeiv-
cd a note from her asking him to return
the lock Of Der hair which he had. He
looked over his trunk, he collected a
heap OF tresses, oullsd from varions
sources during his love-raking career,
and forwarded them in bundle to his
late lady love, enclosing note to the
effect that he had really forgotten
which was hers, but she might select
it from those forwarded and return the
rest at her earliest convenience. The
story got out, and the neighborhood
felt so warm for her that she went on a
visit to her country cousins.

Red Hot Ice.
tLondon Globe.l

When, in the Midsummer Nights Dream"
the Lord Chamberlain presents the ingenious
play bill of Bully Bottoms very tragical COM
edy to Theseus, the king exclaims: "Merry
and tragical. Tedious and brief Hot ice
and wonderous strange snow. How shall We
find the concord of this discord?" Such, how
ever, is the advance of science that the poets
puzzle has been solved, and the concord OF hot
ice been recently discovered by Mr.. Thomas
Carnelley, of Fifth College, Sheffield. This
diligent experimentalist has found out that
any solid can be heated TO a considerable tenn
perature if the precaution be taken to keep II
under pressure less than certain critical
pressure, which is different for different sub
stances Under this condition the solid heats
and su6nmes away into vapor without first
melting into liquid. There is no intermedi-
ate state between its solid and its gaseous con-
dition. Acting upon the hint which this gei-
eral principle gave him, Mr.. Carnellsy put a
lump OF ice under an air pump and reduced
the ordinary atmospheric pressure on il to
something less than the critical pressure for
ice, and he was then able to heat the solid Of
crystal ice so hot that IL burned the fncers Oh
being touched. Nor was this all-be actually
succeeded in freezing quantity OF water In
red hot crucible!

In all probability the contemplated erection
of statue to Rouget de l'Isle, the inspired
author Of the stirring melody which has played
such leading part in French history for well
nigh century past, will lead to the produc.
tion Of hitherto unpublished musical work,
composed by no less eminent maestro than
the great Meyerbeer himself 1t appears that
Meyerbeer's enthusiastic admiration for the
"Nlarseillaise" prompted him to dovetail it into
some incidental music which he volunteered
to write for q drama called "Ia Jeunesse de
Goethe" This PLAY, however, never achieved
the honors Of performance, nor even OF pub
iication. Its original manuscript is actually in
the possession Of M. Blaze de Bury, the emf.
nent musical critic. The Situation" to which
Meyerbeer supplied an orchestral accessory.
said to be OF great beauty and musical merit.
is the following: Goethe is standing by win
dow OF his study, plunged in thought. The
subject Of his reverie is France; the leading in
cidents OF the great revolution pass in review
before his minds eye. Suddenly, moved bv
poetical inspiration, he breaks out into de
camatory verse; and, while he is giving ut-
terance to thoughts that breathe and words
that burn" the orchestra, at first pianissimio

during the month will be exceedingly few.
The SO aond quarter will open with heavy falls
the month will bring snowfalls, which will
terminate in milder weather toward the end
OF the third quarter. The thaw, which will be
interrupted by brief cold spell, will extend
from about the 18th Of the month into Febru-
aary The record OF this month will show 1t to

The Democrats and Refunding

/ "
The Democrats are in dilemma about
the refunding bill. OF the bonded debt
nearly seven hundred millions of dollars
fall due next year, and some provision must
be made for renewal or discharge. The
payment of that amount of debt is quite out
of the question. The best we can do is to
renew at lower rate of interest, so manag-
ing the bargai that We shall be at liberty 10
devote the surplus revenue each year to the
extinguishment of some portion of tie in
debtedness. That is the plan suggested by
the Secretary of the Treasury. He proposes
to refund the five and six per cents, now
nearly due. One half is, according to his
idea, to be met by the ISSUE of long-term
three and-a-half per cent. bonds, and the
moiety BY Treasury notes running from one
to ten years, amply provided for by the re-
sources of the Treasury.
The wise Democrats see that this plan or
one nearly akin to it, must be adopted But
they also see that its adoption, by them is a
confession Of error, confession that the
policy Of refunding advocated by Republic
cans and condemned by them, is wise and
beneficent and necessary, that the financial
administration Of the Republican party has
been eminently successful and has raised
the public credit to higher point than it
ever reached before. n The Democrats are
under the disagreeable necessity of continu-
ing the policy by which nearly two-thirds of
the debt has been refunded at lower rates of
interest and the annual interest charge
reduced many millions; or of refusing to
effect a saving of fifteen millions annually in
interest and the cxtinguishment of half the
debt in a decade. If they conclude to adopt
the recommendations of Secretary Sherman
they will do useful thing; but by so doing
they will approve policy which for years
they have denounced as ruinous. No won
der they hesitate.

The Atlanta Constitution shows an Uncle
Remus sense in the comments it makes on
the Georgia electoral vote. 1t says: 1t is
undoubtedly a serious matter that a State
should under any circumstances be deprived
OF its vote, but to count it unawfully is
more serious STILL. The alleged statute
under which the electoral vote of the State
was castis a nullity. 1t has no legal exist
ence. The Constitution of the United
States confers upon Congress the power and
authority to regulate the day, and any State
law in conflict with the law of Congress on
the subject is inopportune. 1t is the duty of
the States to conform to the requirements
OF the laws of the United States in this re-
spect. These laws provide that the electo-
raj vote of each State shall be cast on the
first Wednesday in December, and if,
through neglect or carelessness, the electo-
raj vote of any State is not cast ON that day,
it cannot be legally cast at all. Isas,>

The story is going the rounds of sheep
on an Atlantic mail steamer which caught
from the passengers, also male, the habit of
chewing tobacco. The animal was de-
signed for the table but the steward did not
dare kill it for fear the mutton might be
favored with tobacco. This is the most
striking example of the life-saving proper
ties of the weed heard of since plug of
double-navy saved the life of soldier at
the first Bnll Run. Probably the sheep had
read the account of that battle and got the
moral of it through his wool.
