the eminent telegraph constructor, writes to the London Times that on these 5000 miles of underground wires, part of which have now been down for five years, no expendi- ture for maintenance has been incurred, and, judging by the perfect condition of the ca- bles, it is not likely that any repair will be required for many years to come.

It would be interesting to study the causes of the difference in growth of the population of these districts The building of railroads had much to do with it. Local enterprise has perhaps done more. For example, Ber- lin in 1880 had population of BOSS, now Berlin has 8 population of 1885, and New Britain, formed from part of Berlin, has 13, : 978, and yet New Britain has no natural advan- tages to account for its growth. It is built upon what was once @ swamp, but the enter
 prise and push of it's citizens have made it what it is. They have introduced manufac- lures and compelled two railroads to serve it's interests. The same energy displayed in any other town in the State would bring the same result. There was time when Weth- ersfield outnumbered Hartford The fact that Hartford is at the head of navigation has not achieved its present prosperity altogether. These differences in population are facts which must be accepted, and should be grace fully recognized all over the State. A new apportionment of the districts would be sham and a deception that did not regard these facts, so far as it is possible to do so. As under the constitution each county is en- titled to at least two Senators whatever may be their population, there must still be great inequality in the districts The constitution allows twenty-four districts as the highest number. This number should be adopted, because by taking this number a nearer equality is obtained than otherwise. Upon that basis the apportionment to the counties would be as follows;

by the proposed apportionment. No other county could lose any. Hartford and Fair field would gain one, while New Haven county would gain two Senators. Certainly, every county, except Litchfeld, is interested in having 8 new apportionment, because the different districts in each county have grown unequally The justice of this must be ap- parent to every one It is far from right that one voter in the twentieth district should have as much power in the Senate as seven in the first district. The only question is will the committee appointed upon this sub ject in the Legislature have the courage to act according to convictions of what is right, or will they not :?

 A yet more violent fallacy-because an en- croachment on mans moral freedom-is in the endeavor to force total abstinence upon the general conscience, because of it's safety and undeniably benevolent motive, or other wise to effect alike end in practice by some unqualified legislative enactment.

The savages who live on the Solomon Isl- ands are not very wise. Toward the end of last October Lieutenant Commander Bower and five of the crew of her Majesty's ship
 Sandhy, which was on a surveying expedi-
 tion, were captured by inhabitants of those
 islands, tortured, killed and eaten. The un- fortunate men had ventured to land from
 their boat, which at the time was 8 long way from their ship, and were murdered without any chance of rescue It seems that the per- petrators made their escape, and that they could not then be successfully pursued. The intention now is to punish the atrocity in an exemplary Tanner, and at the same time to avenge the massacre of the crew of the May Queen, 8 trading ship which visited the Solo, mon Islands in 1876. The savages who came on board overpowered the crew and after ward killed and ate them. Two exceptions are described as having been those of the cook and steward. These men were below when the ship was captured, and, knowing that the natives only deyour persons whom they themselves have killed, committed sui eide. It is to be hoped that the expedition will convince the savages that cannibalism is played out.''
 M De Lesseps solicited subscriptions for 590, 900 shares of canal stock of 800 francs each and now announces that l, 209, 6O9 shares >have been taken, the French alone taking 994, sos shares. M. De Lesseps adds that but three hundred million francs have been called in, and that the remainder will be covered by ohl;oafions or yoorforoo oo bopda This ia O h;o story, and anybody who wishes to believe it is at liberty to do so. Paris correspondent who has been looking about the office where subscriptions are taken states that a great part of the money that M. De Lesseps has been able to collect came from persons in very humble ranks of life The office was thronged with farmers, mechanics, market women and servants each of whom brought their few hundred francs, tied up carefully in handkerchiefs and old-fashioned purses, to invest in the stock of the company. But what was equally noticeable, those with whom the writer conversed had not the faint est notion of the geographical location of the proposed canal, or of the possible difficulties to be met with in building it. In the court yard of the office building were large plans and maps of the Suez canal and of the pro- posed Panama cutting; but these were con suited by hardly any of the subscribers and those who did look at them can hardly be said to have gathered much practical benefit from the study. The investments seem to have been made wholly on the strength of M. De Lesseps' reputation; the investors req soning that, as the Suez canal was success under his management, the Panama canal cannot fail to be equally prosperous.
