Estimated cost of the entire work SIS, ,196, ,91S
The item of work, quality, and the
estimate of cost on the first and second
divisions are from the report of F. c.
Doran, Esq, civil engineer, who made
survey of the same in the fall of 1874,
under the direction of Col. j. n Ma
comb, Corps of Engineers United
States Army.
According to these estimates the
canal, 327 miles long, will cost $751;
$50 mile, and will have twelve times
the capacity of the Erie Canal, which
cost about $4,000 mile This route
opens an inland water communication
between the Gulf of Mexico, New
Orleans. St. Louis, and other cities of
the great West and Southwest, through
the city of Chicago, with the city of
New York in one direction, and with
the cities on the ST. Lawrence river and
the Gulf of st. Lawrence in another
direction, and through both routes and
the extremes with the Atlantic Ocean
The dimensions of the proposed
canal are sufficient to admit boats of
$500 to 2,SO0 tons burden, being S0,-
900 to IS. 900 bushels of grain, or one
and half to one and eight-tenths mil
lion feet of pire lumber; or fleets of
smaller boats can pass the locks at the
same time with about the same ton
mage, or twelve of the boats of the
Erie Canal, or the Illinois and Michi-
gan Canal, can pass the locks at one
lockage.
The summit level of the canal could
be reduced to 100 feet on the bottom
with. the same slopes and declivity,
and construct basins at every mile 500
feet long and so feet wide for boats to
pass, and reduce the cost of the first
division about S4,000,000, and these
at 10 feet would pass over 100000
cubic feet of wator per minute.

CURED OF HEART DISEASE.

There is a man in the Seventh ward
who hasn't spoken to his wife for
over a week He is so mad that he
won't go home to his meals, and the
other day his wife went to his down
town office to get So to pay for some
shoes He told the clerk to pay her
off and let her &c He grits his teeth
when he goes home at night, and
comes out of the house swearing. She
come a Joke on him, that's all. He
has for years been telling her that he
was sure be had the heart disease, and
that he should go off suddenly some
time in the night. She had got sick
of such talk after hearing it for thir-
teen years, when she knew he was as
healthy as a yearling. Why, he didn't
even know where his heart was, and
couldn't point out the location of any
particular portion of his internal i'm
provements. But he kept talking
about death every little while, and she
said she would break up that little
game as soon as she sould think of a
way to do so. A spell ago she bought
herself one of those India rubber water
bags, for keeping hot water at the feet,
instead of bottles. 1t would hold
about three quarts, and her husband
did not know anything about il. One
night after she had the water bag to
her feet for couple of hours, until
they were about as warm as piece of
zinc, and her husband was snoring
away by note, she thought what
good joke it would be to put it on his
stomach and wake him up She burst
right out laughing, at midnight, think
ing of it So she took up the bag of hot
water and placed it on his stomach.
The bag was about the size of cows
liver, and as warm as a piece of
shingle on boy. 1t hadn't been on
his chest and other baggage over two
minutes before he slowly opened his
eyes. She stuffed the upper works OF
her night gown in her mouth to keep
from laughing. He raised his head
and said: Harriet, my end has
come"
(Which end, Josiah ?" said she, as
he rolled over, "your head or your
feet ?"
And then she put pillow in her
mouth, and reached over and unscrew-
ed the nozzle that holds the water in.
II am dying, Egypt, dying" said
be, "My heart is enlarged to three
times its natural size, and oh, l am
bleeding to death" She had opened
the nozzle, and three quarts of hot
water was pouring over him, saturat-
ing him from head to heels She had
not meant TO let out more than a pint
of water on him, but when it got to
flowing she couldn't stop it, so she got
out of bed and told him to save him.
self He attempted to stop the blood,
and she struck match and asked him
if his life preserver hadn't sprung a
leak, and then he looked at the rubber
bag, and went and run himself through
clothes wringer, and slept on the
lounge the rest of the night, and he
says his wife is the meanest woman
that ever drew the breath of life. She
tells her.friends that Josiah has been
miraculously cured of heart disease.

IMPROVED NOSES.

The correspondent of Cincinnati
newspaper has discovered that the use
of nasal extensors is very common
among the ladies of New York, and is
particularly affected by women to
whom nature has denied the elegant
Grecian contour The extensor con-
sists of silver lining for each of the
nostrils, the two metal forms being con-
nected together by yoke at the base
if necessary, and covered internally
with red enamel The correspondent
AYERS that fashionable dentists make
manufacture of nasal forms part of
their business, and cites the case of
lady acquaintance of his whose fiat
tened pug was transformed into
beautiful specimen of Hellenism by
using one of these Instruments
The story puts one in mind of the fact
that one of our well-known surgeons
has recently performed some very clever
and successful operations on deformed
noses, following the example Of Mr..
William Adams, distinguished Brit
ish surgeon, whose memoir on the sub
ject, published in the British Medical
Journal for October, 1875, forms one of
the classics of nasal surgery The
American surgeon cites several cases
in his own practice, in which noses
'tip-tilted like petal" as Tcnnyson
expresses it, with the mares looking di-
rectly forward, have been successfully
transformed into organs of contour ap-
proximating the classic. The operation
consisted mainly in making deep
TRAVERSE incission across the Offend
ing pug about three-quarters of an inch
above it's tip, cutting through the skin.
cartilage and septum with single
clean stroke of the knife, until the edge
of the instrument was on level with
the face. This done the half served tip
was depressed to the proper level, leav-
ing triangular gap between it and the
firm upper portion sustained by the
nasal bones Small, but deeply-incised
parallelogramatic flaps were next dis
sected out on either side of the gap, in
such manner as to fill the vacant
space and meet each other at the top.
These flaps, turned upon their pivots
at the base of the nose, were adjusted
within the opening in such manner
that their distal ends met and joined
each other on the median line. Their
edges were then fastened together
with silk sutures, and the lateral
wounds from which they were origi-
nally taken were closed by simply
bringing their edges together. A faint
scar was left after the wounds had
healed. The operation upon the nose
was subsequently trimmed into proper
shape, and the patient dismissed with
a very respectable nose of the Roman
type. This operation has not thus far
been attempted except in cases of seri-
GUS deformity, but there is no reason
why a nose should not be made over
again by such process, without leav-
ing any appreciable trace. Indeed,
famous surgeons are not unfrequently
offered large sums to perform such OPP
erations by persons dissatisfied with
the nose that nature gave them, (if
done in YOUTH and prefering the Gre
clan or aquiline to the celestial or
pug.

numbers /:

1t gives some idea of the greatly in
creased responsibilities and labors OF
the President of the United States to
glance over these accumulating figures.
George Washington administered the
government for less than four millions,
General HAYES for more than forty mil
lions. 1t is ten to one in numbers, and
greatly more than that in wealth, ac-
tivity and capacity of production.
Much of the growth, in certain of
the decennial periods, was due not to
natural increase but to acquisition OF
territory, as well as to immigration.
In 1903, President jefferson purchased
the Louisiana territory of France, and
in 1919, President Monroe acquired
her Florida possessions of Spain. Both
these purchases made perceptible addl-
tions, of course, to the censuses OF loIV
and 1920. But that of 1850, swollen
by the great Irish immigration that be-
gan after the fame of 1847, was largely
increased also by the population that
came with the annexation OF Texas and
the new territory-California, New
Mexico. etc.-which was brought into
the national borders as result of the
Mexican War. 1t was the last and
greatest increase in that way the pop
ulation added by the purchase OF
Alaska in 1867 was trifling in numbers.
What the present population may
prove to be is matter OF mere conJec-
ture. The decennial returns show that
there is no fixed ratio of increase. TAX
ing the censuses of 1910, 1850 and
1860 as basis, it was asserted In 1870
that our population grows at the rato
of something over thirty-fve per cent:
each decade, and that the total would
be found to be over forty-three and q
half millions in that year. But It ieii
five millions short of this, and the act
ual rate of increase was found TO Do
something over twenty-five and three
quarters percent. The same rate OF In
crease in the ten years now closing
would give us over forty-seven millions
in 1880. while the large rate OF increase
we had in the decades lS4O-5O and
lS5O-GO, would give US fifty-two mill
lions 1t is probably most safe to ex-
pect that the enumeration now begun
will return an aggregate exceeding for
ty-five but not reaching to fifty MIL
lions.

THE TENTH CENSUS.

The taking of the tenth census has
began. The States had scarcely formed
their Union, and become the United
States when the first enumeration was
made. The Constitution, framed in
1887, and adopted by the required nine
States, before September, 1888, estab-
lished the nation whose inhabitants
were numbered in 1870. 1t may seem
remarkable that the whole number,
then, a decade less than century ago,
was less than four millions. There
were, of whites, 3,172, ,006; of free col
ored, 59,527 and of slaves, 697,6Sl;
making the total 3,929.214. The sue
cessive censuses showed the following
