Another interoceanic canal is proposed, to cross the Isthmus of Kraw, which connects the Malayan peninsula in eastern Asia with the main land. This canal would, it is said, shorten the passage from England or from India to China by at least six hundred miles. The length of the canal will not exceed thir- ty miles, and no very formidable engineering difficulties are believed to exist. The eoun- try through which the canal passes is fertile, and productive mines of tin and gold are now worked on the isthmus near the line of the proposed cutting. British and French interests are involved in this work, as both nations have colonial possessions to which the canal would give quicker and cheaper ac- cess.
 A table of the police court business in Springfield, Mass. for the last twelve years, from October I, 1869, to October 1, 1881, has been prepared for the purpose of throwing some light on the license question. The first six years were under the prohibitory law, the last six under the license law. During the six prohibitory years the whole number of cases before the court averaged 1, ,687 a year i; during the six license years the whole num- Der of cases averaged 1,251 year. During the prohibitory years the average number of arrests for drunkenness, per annum, was 844; during the license years the average number of arrests for drunkenness was 7f2 It is to be remembered, also, that the city 1 was larger during the last six years than it was during the first six, and crime might be expected to have increased propo1tionally. l Aecordinc to a decision which has just

DIT JOnn A. MacQOnald made speech the other day in Toronto and he talked to his hearers about annexation thus: sIndepen- dence is farce. Canada must belong either to the British system or the American sys- tenn. Here we are with four and a half mil lion people, lying alongside of fifty-fve mil lions; the most unhappy position in which a nation can be placed; the most crushing to it's energies and its intellect, the most de- structive to it's prosperity, is that of living next door to and at the sufferance of pow erful neighbor. Look at Europe, end you see the position which small nations occupy. Look at Belgium and Holland, Belgium trem- bling for fear France will take her, and Hol land in fear of Germany. There is no spirit, there is almost hopelessness, in those coun- tries. And I say, looking at the question of independence, that if we had to make a choice between independence and annexa- tion, would rather that we should have an nexation and join with the United States at once, than be here small nation, an inde pendent nation, obliged to raise the phantom of an army and navy, obliged to have for eign ambassadors at an enormous expense, and after brief existence to be absorbed as Texas and as California were absorbed, and as Mexico will be absorbed This is sensi- ble.

been given by the French Court of Cessation spectators in French court of justice are at liberty to indulge in manifestations of feel ing similar to some of those exhibited in the Guiteau trial. The Court of Cessation, which is the highest court of appeal in France, reversed decision of the judges at the Assizes of the Eure-et-L Loire, condemn ing baker named Merin to two days inn prisonment for contempt of court. Morin was present at the trial of a young woman who was accused of murdering her child. A judicious appeal by counsel to the feelings of an impressionable French jury brought about verdict of acquittal, and some applause was heaad from the spectators in court. The satisfaction of Morin, in particular, seems to have known no prudent bounds, for, after being several times rebuked from the bench for his disorderly expressions of satisfaction, he was at length bounced upon and then and there consigned to prison. The too sympa- thetic baker may at least have the satisfac tion of refecting that he has settled what was evidently moot point in French legal procedure.

The winner OF the Derby stakes.


| The SPIRIT cf the Times furnishes
the following history Of lroquois, the
Derby winner: lroquois was bred
by L. WEIGH, at Erdenheim stud,
Chestnut Hill, Pa, and was foaled in
1879. lie was purchased by Pierre
and Geo. L. Lorillard on joint account,
with ten or twelve other yearings.
Among them were Blazes, Spinaway
and Saunterer. The brothers subse-
quently divided the purchase, and
Iroquois fell to Pierre Lorillard. He
ia rich brown colt, above the pas
tern, and about fifteen hands three
inches high. On the Both of August,
1879, he was shipped to Liverpool,
and went from there to wmarket.
He trained into fine shape early in the
season, and ran with much success at
Newmarket At the second spring
meeting he won the Newmarket two
year-old plate from the others. He
was beaten at the EPSON summer
meeting for the Woodcote STAKES by
Lord Calthorp's Angelina, but at the
same meeting he won the two-year-
old stakes At Ascot he was beaten
by Mr.. Leigh's Sir Charles, and at the
July meeting was beaten by head
by Lord Falmouth's Balgal for the Ju-
ly stakes. At the same meeting he
won the Chesterfield stakes from nine
others. Al the Sandown second sum-
mer meeting he was beaten by Bnsk's
Lady Chelmsford for the great King
ston plate. AT Goodwood he won the
Levant stakes from five others. He
ran four other races, but did not win
either. His recent eff, TT for 1000
gujneas, when he was probably beat
en- by Encouragement by Peregrine,
showed that he still retained his pre-
vious high form.
There was great excitement and en-
thusiasm at the clubs and Exchange
of New York City on the lst over II e
victory Of lroquois in the Eng lish Del-
by, and Pierre LoriIIard was show
cred with congratulations as he stood
in the midst Of a great crowd. He is
the owner of the first American horse
that ever won the Derby, or won a
place there. lroquois was heavily
backed in New York. He will be one
OF the most prominent horses at the
Ascot and Goodwood races. 1t is
stated at Newport that Lorllard wins
s., o00, 900 on the Derby.

Chinese transfers have made the il
appearance in Winnemucca, New, but
when their horses get baulky they
have to hire an American blasphemer
to throw the necessary cuss words at
the head of the beasts. They now
have proficient swearer on a regular
salary, whose work gives the best of
satisfaction. If the business increases
there will be plenty of work for good,
reliable swearers at $50 a month.
Persons applying for the place must
give q practical test of their powers
on the spot. Fancy swearers and ex-
perts can easily get 500 a month, as
some OF the mules will not move un-
less the oaths are of extra quality.

The people Of Ireland are inAamed
to such pitch, and are so demora-
ized by agitation, that they are ripe
for any mischief. They are also
flushed with partial success over both
the civil and military powers, aud are
becoming daily more daring. Soldiers
aud police are incensed, not merely
against the populace but against the
authorities, who will not permit them
to defend themselves. There is some
risk Of this indignant fee lug assum-
ing form dangerous to discipline,
and it may lead to an irrepressible
outbreak OF fury against the popuace
or acts OF retaliation upon the iuhabi.
tants of the garrisoned districts. The
War Office has ordered tie barracks
at New Ross. now occupied by a troop
Of hussars, to be fitted with port holes
