The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-11-17

A gentleman of much intelligence and
ustworthiness, who had just arrived in
New York; from Panama, gives a very
gloomy account of the state of things at
Lesseps canal. The death rate is alarm
ing, especially among foreigners. Of zoo
Frenchmen sent out within the last few
weeks. and who arrived ruddy and vigorous
eighty-five had died when he left, and
nearly all the others were in hospital.
The Gallo immigrants all take brandysand
absinthe to excess, ander the mistaken
expression thatsit will enable them to with
stand the climate, while it has precisely
the opposite effect, and hastens the coming
of their certain doom. Americans will
not be tempted by Fany wages to remain.
The only Workmen who can withstand the
horrors of the heat and rains are the West
Indian negroes and those from around
Carthagena. OF course these men will
not work like English or French natives,
and can command, nevertheless, their own
price. The consequence is that work es-
timated to cost three cents "a foot has
cost 81, 25. If under these circumstance
M. de Lesseps can accomplish his task, he
will justly win conspicuous renown.

are as naturally the masters aflthe CONT
nent as real people are the makers of real
constitutions. The republicans, or feder-
'alists, are as spasmodic as con-
tagion born of bad times, bad
weather, accidents and war, and as
logically temporary; while the dem
ocrats are the growth of history, health,
reason and the harmony of things. The

rents or the calamities. of their adyersaries..
The democrats of The United States, like

body of the state, the. popular sentiment,
the foundation and the superstructure of
the whole national edifice; frequently OBJ

taken, but in the end the supreme power
and ultimate dictator. Life is not more

the whole present phase of humanity The

says correspondent, and among all the
queer characters you meet in Virginia he
is perhaps the queerest. He was a union
man before the war, and fought secession
with bitterness in keeping with his in

tirely in the past, and to find happiness
only in personal conflicts and revival of
his home in Lylchbu1g. where he earns
his living by practicing law. l should
judge his life is not pleasant one. He
rooms by himself, unsurrounded by the
| comforts of home and family, and boards
at hotel. He is bowed and like man of
80 years, and yet he has not reached three
score years and ten. He was a graduate
of West Point, bnt did not remain in the
army. Those who remember him just
after his graduation speak of him as a
splendid looking young man, with al
most perfect military air and car
riage. To-day his dropping shoulders,
long gray beard, flowing white hair,
and powerful staff upon which he
leans for support give him an appear
ance not unlike Joe Jefferson's representa-
tiou of Rip Van Wrinkle; yet they tell me
he presents much the same appearance as
when he was lieuten ant general in the
confederate army, riding at the head of the
second army corps, which he commanded.
That he is still vigorous, Notwithstanding
his appearance, and is full of fire, FIGHT and
vindictfveness is evident.
He wears the old regulation gray. the
color still loved and respectfully southern
ers, and thus preserves the memories of
the past in his everyday appearance, as in
his words and efforts. He is rather above
the medium size, and has a massive
moulded frame, naturally capable of great
powers of endurance. His friends say his
mind is still clear and vigorous, and that
he is by no means an old man. He seems
to have no close friendship, bat to 1--we
within himself and the recollections of the
past. His recent assault upon Malone
seems to revive interest in him all over
the country, and it has brought him prom
inently before the people of the state
where he was almost forgotten.

In regard TO the application in General
Sherman's report for an increase in the
army the San thinks that where congress
reads in the Generals report that "no seri-
Gus Indian or other war has occurred, but
great progress has been made in collecting
and locating Indians, hitherto hostile, on
their proper reservations that Sitting
Bull and his adherents are now held at
Fort Randall "as prisoners of war;
though they certainly did not come in as
SUCH that the Utes are safely lodged in
Utah; and that 'the guilty Apaches are
now held as prisoners for trial" it is not
likely to see anything in the military stu
alton to call for more fighting men.

Mr. Talmage thanked God for the everlast-

q handful of air and threw the invisible mis-
sile with all his force toward the crowded
gallery. He said that all the great authors
made their beginning in the newspapers.

So" Mr.. Talmage urged that imperson-

time wleu leading editorial writer's used to
affix their initials to their articles If such
an idea was H.; vogue at this time the
writers would get the credit for all the
good things they wrote and would be held
responsible for all the bad things. The
universities, Mr.. Talmage believed, should
have departments for the. training of
editors and reporters. Il declare that the
mghtiest force for good is good news

claimed: The christian newspaper will

the advantages of money, place, plumber
