The Florida Everglades and Ship
Canal Projects.

A Philadelphia dispatch says: Now
that the Philadelphia capitalists who are
about to reclaim the immense tracts Of
land IN the State of Florida, known as
the Everglades, have completed their
contract with that State, is Is no longer
q secret that one of the main features
of the gigantic scheme is the building Of
a ship canal across the State Of Florida
This project almost equals in Importance
that of retaining 10, 600. 900 acres of the
richest land in the world, south of the
frost belt. A ship canal across the
State of Florida has been the dream
of engineers for many years. It wonld
not only shorten the distance between
the American ports on the Atlantic coast
and all European ports to New Orleans,
Mobile, and all shipping points on the
Gulf of Mexico, but it would avoid the
dangers to navigation which are expe-
perienced on the countless keys and
coral reefs off the southern and south
western coast of Florida. All ship cap.
tains know of this danger, which is often
aggravated by hurricanes, which are
common to the southwark of Florida,
but which are comparatively unknown
on the west coast, in the region of Tam
pa Bay. 1t is we'll known that a num-
Der of New York capitalists have been
endeavoring for some years to get a
charter from the State of Florida to build
ship canal, but the Philadelphia com.
pauy, with great deal of shrewdness,
have got ahead of them. 1t is believed
that in connection with the isthmus ca
nal, now in the course of construction
under NJ Ferdinand de Lesseps, the
Florida canal must at once attract the
attention of the capitalists not only OF
America but of Europe. AS to the
feas. bility not only of building a ship
canal, but of draining the Everglades,
the opinion of eminent engineers and
army officers of the last generation are
quoted by those who have this work in
charge"

Concerning Trichina.

The Chicago Tribune, discussing the
diseased pork question. asserts that ''it
is one of the best established in the
whole range of physiological facts that
the trlchina cannot pass from one piece
of dead meat to another. 1t only makes
its way through Ii0ing animal tissue.
Hence the presence of trichina in a
piece of meat cannot possibly make any
difference to the condition of any or all
other pieces of meat that may lie near,
or IN actual contact with it. The pro-
duct of each hog stands on it's own
merits, so far as trichina is concerned.
Meanwhile it should never be forgotten
that the people who want to eat pork
meat never need have the ghost of fear
of suspicion from trichina, if they will
see to it that the meat has been in eUery
part subjected to boiling heat. 1t
should also be universally known that it
is dangerous to eat a particle of any
kind of meat unless that individual
particle has been subjected to boiling
heat. There is no more absolute safety
in eating raw mutton or beef than in
eating raw pork, though the percentage
of danger is undoubtedly greatest in the
last named case"

EdisOn's Electric Light.

Edison says the electric light, upon
which he has been working so long, is
now perfected in all its branches. II
will be now given to the public Every
thing is in readiness for its general use.
The light is to be introduced in Newark,
Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Cincinnati
and Washington. AS to New York, he
is reported in the Sun as saying:
1.-The trouble here is that we are
awaiting the permission of the Common
Council to lay down our wires. We had
a resolution before the old board, but
through political squabbles the board
ran out of existence before action could
be taken. The new Council has at last
been organized, and been broken up into
committees, and permission to lay down
our wires will probably be sought at the
next meeting. Some of our directors
anticipate trouble in obtaining the re-
quired permission, but l think time will
demonstrate their mistake. We claim
to be public benefactors We offer the
householders cheaper and better light
than gas, and pledge ourselves to put in
all the fixtures and to furnish the light
for specified time free of charge, and
to remove it if it is not satisf actory."

Two LITTLE STORIES. story
goes that the seven Representatives IN
Congress who assume to represent the
Republicans of the South, called on
President Garfield on Saturday. owe
came, said Judge Houk, of Tennessee,
Ito have talk with you, Mr.. President,
touching the distribution of the patron
age in the South" "How much time do
you want, gentlemen" said the Presi-
dent. ooh, q half hour or an hour,
was the response. "a half hour" said
the President, with the representatives
of fifty million Of people waiting. "
"But, said spokesman Houk, ''you for
get we repre- sent four hundred thousand
people" The delegation got ten min
utes. Another story is afoat that the
Virginia Republican Representatives wait
ed upon the President, and asked him if
he intended to let Senator Malone con-
troll the patronage of Virginia "Now,
that is a question:" said the President,
'that will not permit myself to be in
terrogated about. / will refer you to
certain Senators, however, who know
more of the situation of affairs touching
the Senate's organization than l do"
The Virginia Republican Congressman
walked off in dissatisfied mood.

One of the largest butter and cheese
exporters in Chicago failed last week,
and what is very singular, the failure is
attributed to the fact that it was cheated
in buying and shipping butterine. A
fellow shipper says: ut was lard butter
which killed him, but he got badly bit.

these goods as first class, but he had been

ers." 1t is added that the house has lost
$4,000 on butterine, which was sup.
posed to be butter, within four months.
1t is extraordinary that Chicago house
should be imposed on in the very articles
that Chicago makes speciality of. A
few days ago the British Consul at PhiIa-
delphia was called to task for asserting
that great deal of the cheese and butter
shipped to England was made of lard
rendered from dead animals not slaugh-
tered at the packing houses, and that the
seat of this business was Chicago. 1t
would appear that this part of the Con-
suTs statement was true, and that much
of the dlscredit that Western provisions
are falling into abroad is traceable to the
miserable practices prevailing in that
city.

German Immigrants Coming South.

German Immigrants Coming South.
We are continually told, says the
Nashville american, that German i'm
migrants will not seek the South, and
Republican editors assert that the South
is not the place the immigrant will
seek for home In the face Of this we
fiud that they are coming to the South.
Not only is there a constant stream Of
immigrants by way of New Orleans,
but only few days ago large com
pany Of several hundred Germans re-
embarked at New York without
ever going through Castle Garden
at all. 1t is hardly to be doubted
that agents from the North and North
west use every means to keep the course
of immigration running towards the
Northwest-State agents, railway agents,
land agents, every kind of agents, are
continually on the alert, and, so far as
they use no deception, or fraud, no COM
plant can be made Of this, and where
they do none need be made for it
will avail nothing, unless we
have agents to meet them and both
to show our own advantages and to
expose the misrepresentation of others.
1t is beginning to be the case that the
German immigrant starts from home for
the South, knowing his own destination
and not to be diverted from it. We
have no fears as to immigration for the
South, and that too of the better class =
of those who have money enough to go
where theycsn do the best for themselves,
and sense and intelligence enough to
find out where that is and to go there
when they have found it out

At the late session of Congress Mr.
Money, Chairman of the House Commit
tee on Post Offices, endeavored to bring
about slight reform in our postal ser
vice, which is very much needed. This
was to do away with the old system of
having only one return letter office in
this country at Washington. If the
slightest mistake in the direction of a
letter be made at San Francisco, one that
could be easily corrected, the letter has
to make visit to Washington and re-
turn, a trip of nearly three weeks. In
Great Britain a similar system prevailed
some years ago, but it was found incon
venient. and now, in that tight little
isle, there are no less than eight return
offices, and letters are, therefore, never
detained over a day. An attempt will
be made in the next Congress to bring
about this change, which the press al
ways earnestly advocated.

The project of railway between the
north and south of Australasia is now
fairly under way, and will reduce the
time between England and Sydney by
thirty DAYS The principal section of
the northern part is already completed.
It is 312 miles long, and runs between
Brisbane and Rome. Between the latter
point and the Bay Of Carpentaria there
are yet s37 miles to construct. The line
will connect with that between ROch
ampton and Emeraldtown. There are
still gaps to fill between Brisbane and
Sydney and Sydney and Adelaide. The
road will link together the principal
cities and most peopled regions Of the
great island, with the exception of those
in the west. A syndicate has been en-
powered by the Legislature of Queens

The Greek Ultimatum,


The treaty of Berlin, which won the
Order of the Garter for Earl Beaconsield,
threatens to turn gray with anxiety the
heads of all the dIplomatists of Europe.
This treaty provided for the readjust-
ment of the Turco Greek frontier, but
did not lay down the scientific lines
which should define it. Ever since then
Greece and Turkey have been threaten
ing to go to war upon the question of
frontier maximums and minimums.
Turkey is willing to concede
Crete, but Greece wants territory upon
the mainland-wants Thessaly and Epi.
rus Germany and Austria, which could
dictate the actual terms of the settle
ment, decline to do so, and consequently
there is arming on both sides, with
great expenditure of needless drach.

seems to be that the Porte will not
concede Thessaly TO Greece unless com
PEELED by armed Intervention; that unless
this concession be made Greece will 60

would not be confined to the Balkan
Peninsula, nor terminate with the final
partition of the Ottoman possessions in
Europe. Undoubtedly the question OF
the possession of the Bosphorus must

Our Consul atsVera Cruz has recently
furnished the State Department with
some information about cotton worms.
He shows clearly that the cotton worm
in Mexico is the same insect as that
which proves so destructive in this
country. 1t has been thought by many
that the cotton caterplllars that invade
Texas come from Mexico. Our Consul
shows that even if this be true, the
Mexican fields are themselves invaded by
hordes of insects coming from still fur
Their south-from Yucatan and Central
America. That Southern Mexico is the
home of this insect seems proved, how
ever, it having existed thus from the
earliest period when cotton was eulti-
waited, more than six centuries ago.
