It is to be hoped that the announcement that the Dominion Government will for the next two years expend at least ten millions of dollars per annum in extending the Canada Pacific Railway is correct. Twenty millions of money expended so near our northern boundary would give wonderful impetus to business on this side of the line; it would also, if not at first, eventually, without doubt, add largely to immigration, for whatever may be the agricultural capabilities of Manitoba, and the country through which said railroad is to rua, they do not compare with the advantages in farming, mining and general industries to be found on this side of the line. Besides, were Canada to retain all those who will be attract ed thither by the opening up of oommunica- tion, then the settlement of that now wild re- zion would inevitably tend to increase the business of our Northern States.

Some of dhe Sights Seen Iu Richmond
 by 8 ssNsXV Eaavener.,,
 RICHMOND, Va, April 10. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Sitting on the verandah of the Ford House, and looking down across the beautiful green, reminds one of New Haven at point from the New Haven House. Capitol Park, as it is called, is carpeted with beautiful growth of green, and here and there beautiful trees in leaf and flower appear. To day is charming, very warm, with delightful breeze from the James river. Richmond is not only noted for its war traces, but for it's beautiful site, mountain-like views, tobacco factories and business enterprise Perhaps nothing inter- ests stranger moro than it's factories for making tobacco in all it's forms Through ths courtesy of friend visited one. There l saw largo building, each floor having is separate work. On the first floor we saw them pressing the leaf for market, and below in ceilsr-like place were two hundred or more negroes and negresses busy at work stemming and sorting. The contractor kindly asked them to give us a plantation mel ody. This they did with wonderful effect, and hereafter, hearing the Jubilee Singers will seem very tame. The singing was grand, and the whole building seemed animated, and those on other floors
 
 dred made a chorus never to be forgotten One of the contractors has invented press of 120 tons pressure, which a man of ordinary weight can work. After leaving here we drive up Libby Hill, and on our way see men with heavy chains attached to them cleaning the streets. These are the chain gang which come from the prison every day to clean the streets and gutters. We soon came to the Monumental church, one of the handsomest churches, inside, in the State. It marks the site of church which was burned in the arly part of this century, and over two huIdred persons were destroyed. West of this point is the dilapidated part of the city, occupied by negroes, and it is a hazardous place after dark Back of one block of shanties is Q deep ravine, where many have been lost by being thrown down after being robbed. Other places of interest are the ''Libby Prison'' (now a tobacco factory), Jeff. Davis mansion, Washington monument, and Powhatan, near by, the place of rescue, by Pocahontas, of Capt. John Smith. Richmond is itself beautiful city, and outside of it's peculiar places of interest would amply compensate one for time spent touring about.
