Boise Statesman.

If there ever was .ah.fu' slaughter per-
pet ated in the PANE OF progress, il Is now
going on in the const' ac' ;ou Of The DeLes-
seps canal ACROSS the )sthwds of Panama.
The rail. Dad was bad enough, heaven knows;
bot this Is just as much worse than the loss
Of life o.cas;oned 10 1So2-5S-'54 IN building
the rail,oad As anything could be. The
writer was on the istbuus for nearly two years
du.ipg that ,we, aud saw daily sights that
would make The stoutest heat shudde-.
Fist came the I.ish labo. ers, who had built
railroads 10 New York and Pennsylvania.
Whenever they got paid of toe,e had 10 be .
gcand Jojl6catioa, which coded up in an At
tack OF dyseutery or jssbwds fever. They
quit the country as fast as possible.
Next came the Cb,uese in ships direct from
Hoog Kong, when the late Gen. E. d.
Baker was in ch0ge of the work. The
Jobps lived moe frrga''y than the I,ishmen
and for while they got along petty well.
But at last came the lainy season and they
died off like sheep in snow sto'm. They
would come down to the co. al reefs, IN Pan
anna bav, in dtoves of ten or dozen, and lie
down thee until they died and the waves
washed tbem off as food for the sharks and
octopus. 1t Is no esaggeration to say that
in March, 1853, there were huud'ed deaths
per day aDoag them.
In July OF that year, Col. Geo. NJ. Totteu
took charge Of The work, and decided to try
. new element OF labo,ers. He sent the
Steamship Philadelphia 10 Kingston, Jamsica,
and brought out two loads of negroes, and
they stood .he burning son aud palar,al at
mosphere better than any OF their predeces-
sors had done. These men flushed the
work, aud on the Sd day Of February, 1855,
the first train ran from ocean to eceau. Col.
Totten told Us, this road has cost hcmau
life for every spike driven"
A few of the old and SCARED veterans Of
that era are sill alive, and they saw tha. the
mortality among the labo.ers along that
canal Is three times IS great now As then.
DeLesseps has proved himself mighty co.
queer, but his canal is going to cost the
world of commerce Q fearful sacrifice. At
Culebra, near the summit, the excavation
will be over 200 feet in depth, and the cost
will run up into the millions. Dea.h turks
in the leaves of every banana tree, and every
palm will shadow grave. Aud still the
work will go on, for commerce Is memorable
and demands . shorter road between the
shops Of Europe and the grain fields Of the
Pacific Coast. Once build that canal and
the long voyage around tbs cape Is thing
of the past. The iion propeller will then
be the vehicle of trade, and clea,anoes of
wheat to Havce and Liverpool will be daily
occurrence at the Astoria Custom House.
But don't forget the sacrifice.

Among the many suggestions that have
been made by civil engineers and others who
have contemplated the project of building
ship canal across the Isthmus Of Panama,
one has just appeared in lette: written to
the Panama Ssar and Herald by former
resident Of this city-W. c. Qninby--now
engaged In mining at Calipileo, Chill. Mr..
Quinby advances the scheme Of wearing
away the hills Of the Andes BY what is known
- the hydraulic mining system. The theory
il based upon the truth that 1900 gallons,
or 2,25O cubic feet Of water, having weight
Of la9, 800 pounds, with sufficient pressure
70 force II through al inch sperature In
twenty-tour hours (called miners inch Of

70 the rod, ten tons of gravel to distance
ef ten miles every twenty-four houn.

SCANDAL-MONGERS.

Do you hear the scasial-mongers
Passing by,
Breathing poison in . whisper,
In sigh?
Moving cautiously and slow,
Smiling sweetiy as thev go
Never noisy-glidipg smoothly ike a snake,
Slipping he.e AMI sliding the .
Throaeh the meadows f. -sh add faii,
Leaving subtle slime aud no -oa in their
wake?
Saw You not the scandal nonger
As she sat,
Beaming brightly 'ueath the roses
On her hat?
In her dainty gloves and dress,
Angel-Iike, aud no, hing less,
Seemed she casing smiieI and plea' ant
words about;
Once she shrugged and shook her read,
Raised her ewes and nothing said,
What you spoke OF friends, aud yet IL left a
doubt.
Did you watch the scandal-monge-
At the ball,
Through the music, rhyming beauty,
Light and all?
Moving here and moving there,
With q whisper light as air,
Casting shadows on sister womau's fame
just whispered wo'd or elaoce-
As she foaved thi ouch Ite dance,
Aud doubt forever bang upon name.
You will End the scandal-mongers
Everywhere;
Sometimes men, often women,
Young and fair;
Yet their tongues dip foulest slime,
And they spend Ihe.r Ieisuie aims
Casing mud on shose who climb by work
and wo "a.
Shun them, shua them As you 60,
Shun them wheeler b;:h oe low:
They are but The Gu BED serpeots of the ca tb.

HINTS TO MOTHERS.
Some Suggestions Which May Prove Efheaeiou
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
When your daughter performs task in an
iil-fashioned manner, always say: "There l
might as we'll have done II myself In the first
place." and then take the work out of her
hand and do 1t yourself This will encour-
age the girl not to try to do the thing the
next time she is set about it.
Never permit your son TO have any amuse-
ment at home. This will induce him to seek
1t In places where you will not be annoyed
by his noise.
There is no place like home. Impress this
truth upon your children by making home as
disagreeable and unlike any other place as
possible.
Never neglect the lock on the pantry.
Seine boys have doubtless turned out first
class housebreakers all on account of this
judicious treatment in early childhood.
Never permit your children 10 contradict.
Let them know that that Is your peculiar
prerogative.
In chiding your children's faults, never
forget to mention how much better the Jones
children behave. This will cause your little
ones to everlastingly love the Jones children.
Take frequent occasion 10 tell your chill
dcen how much more favored their lot Is than
yours was when you were q girl. 1t is always
pleasant to children TO be const antly remjud-
ed Of their obligations.
Don't let your son indulge in any kind of
outdoor games. Keep him to his books. 1t
will make great man of him some day, If
he should happen 10 live.
Your girls should never be permitted to
romp. Let them grow into interesting in
valids, by all means.
Be gentle and courteous before company /;
but II you have temper, let your children
have taste of 1t rs often as convenient. A
mother should never practice deception up
on her brood.
Talk slightingly Of your husband to your
their father.
Tell your child he shall not do thing, and
then let him tease yoa into giving your con-
sent. This will teach him what to do on
subsequent occasions.
Make promises to your children and then
neglect to keep them. This will lead your
children not to place too much reliance on
your word, and shield them from many dis
appointments.
When your boy gets comfortably seated
in the easy chair, take it from him. This
will induce him to appreciate q good thing
when he grows older, and stick to it-a seat
In crowded horse car, for example.
Tell your children they are the woIst you
ever saw and they will no doubt endeavo- to
merit your appreciation.

The Colorado Steam Navigation Co.
has contracted with Dickie Brothers,
ship builders, for wooden steamship
for the Mexican trade, to be built at
their yards at South San Francisco.
The proposed vessel will be of two
thousand tons measurement, and III
her arrangements for passengers and
freight every way equal to the finest
products of eastern ship yards. Her
total cost will be $4,000, about S40,-
900 less than such a vessel could be
built for east and delivered ut san
Francisco, the low price of timber in
California much more than c0mpen-
sating for the higher rate of mechan-
les wages and the greater cost of
other material which must be paid
there. Bids for this steamer Were in
vited from all the great ship yards of
the country for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning the cost of ship-making mt
different localities. This practical in
quiry has demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that wooden vessels of any class
can be built on the Pacific coast
cheaper than on the other side of the
continent. Oregon and Washington
have natural facilities for ship build
ing, which will enable us to Guido any
other locality.
