A CorrespOndent's Description
Of the SituatiOns

Continuing my journey through the
interior upon the canal, says the COT
respondent of the London Telegraph
[ left Port Said at midday, Captain
Reid, of the Anchor Line steamer
Armenia, kindly offering to convey
me the whole length of the canal to
Suez. Only a small English gunboat,
the Coquette, is lett at Port Said.
The inhabitants there are somewhat
nervous at the possibility of an attack
by the natives on Europeans. L found
that a large number of natives had
gone to Damietta, where they we're
assembling, evidently for no good pur-
pose. Their ultimate descent on Port
Said is feared. The cutting of the
water pipes between lshmalla and Port
Said is also much dreaded, as in that
case there would be great difficulty in
obtaining water. Should English
troops land, the ships must be pre-
pared to condense every drop that may
DO required. | saw no troops on the
banks of the canal, but l observed
that the native barges previously re-
ferred to had been moved further up
the canal, nearer Port Said. The
Egyptian authorities had apparently
come to know that they were watched.
We passed Ri Inier at midday. The
banks there are very high, and the
channel narrow. Thence we went
through Ismalia lake to Toussom,
where also the channel is narrow and
the banks high. The canal there
be easily blocked. Going thence
past Serapieon | found the banks forty
feet high, with again a narrow chan
mel. Next we entered the Bitter lake,
passed Shalouf and Guilleaume, the
banks at both places being steep and
the channel narrow, and reached Suez.
On the way between Port Said and
| observed repeatedly the
water pipes lying exposed, SO that any
body might have cut them. There
were but few Bedouins about, but the
canal needs careful watching by Eng
lish gunboats. In addition to those
stationed here, gunboats
should be sent to Shalouf and Gull
such vessels carrying arti6cers
to repair quickly any damage that
might be dene. No stone barges
whatever, not even under the pretext
Of repairing the canal banks, should
be allowed to enter the passage, and a
watch should be kept on all
approaching from the Suez
end of the canal.

EDITOR LEDGER:-Since you have
opened a Don't Forget 1t" depart
ment, the following may be in order:
C0NUNDRUM.
Why does the Old Mar" Of the
Avalanche put up his fences and
renew ESQ to speak, his Democracy at
this particular time? Why does this
sturdy Independent just now bout
face" stick his head in the halter Of
party, and put on the Democratic
label" all of which he has %professed
to be dead against?
Answer-Te encourage the boilers,
sOreheads, kickers and backsliders,
to raise as much Cain as possible
among the Democrats; to persuade as
many Democrats as he can to support
RUSSELL, knowing that every Russell
vote is, practically, a vote to perpetu
ate the Hawkins, Houk, Roderick
Random Butler, Brother-in law Moore
dynasty in this State. And don't you
forget it.
When an independent journal, or a
party journal, fops oyer suddenly, and
without apparent cause in aid of views
of policy that will do bondholders and
railroads the most good, the people
will, somehow, keep thinking who's
been here since I've been gone
And don't you forget it.
The educated crank" (editor Of the
Banner, is no longer a crank in the
view of the "Old Man. Of the Ava
lanche. but they lay =" cheek to jowl,"
lovingly in each others arms. Show
us one, and we'll show you the other.
Zone and inseparable, now and for
ever, are the educated crank and the
odd Mani" When one gratis on the
other look out for Hawkins, Houk,
Butler and Moore blossoms and fruit.
And don't you forget it.
Such fruit is fair to look upon, but
certain poison to the people. And
don't you forget it.
The act settling the debt should
allow the holders of railroad bonds
twenty months in which to accept its
provisions; and if they fail to accept
within that time, then they should be
cut off forever, and the taxes collected
for their benefit should pass to the
school fund to help educate poor chill
dren, both white and black, and such
a result would be a blessing to these
poor children, and don't you forget
it. VIDETTE.

Mr.. r. Nelson, Of lakewood, near
Liverpool, has devised and placed at
the free use of his brother farmers a
method OF harvesting in the stack
which may be applied to grass, grain
and almost all kinds of field produce.
and which, if the statements made
about it are trustworthy, renders the
farmer largely independent of the
weather at harvesting time. AS ap.
piled to hay the process is simply
this: The stack is made in such a
way as to leave a hollow space in the
middle, running up about a third of
its height, and the lower end of this
hollow is connected with the outer
air by a tube. The end of this tube
is connected with an exhaust fan.
and as soon as the stack begins to
heat the fan is set to work, and the
moisture Is drawn forth in a cloud
Of steam. The fan exhausts the tube
the outer air presses through the stack
IN all directions to supply it, and the
hay is cooled and dried. The stack
can thus be kept at any temperature
by watching the thermometer; and a
little careful attention has been found
TO make the condition of the hay thus
treated perfect, even in cases in which
it has been stacked quite wet. The
method is easy to carry out, and it is
said to save in labor in the bayfield,
what it costs in simple machinery.

In our next issue we shall lay before
our readers the able.speech of Senator
PENDLEToN on the bill of Senator Ed
MUNDs to punish persons guilty Of po-
lygamous practices in Utah by disfrau-
chising them. As far as the abolishing
Of polygamy goes oil men are in favor
Of that, but the political aspects" as
Senator EDMUNDs terms the true intent
Of his bill, are to place Utah in the
power of twelve or 6fteep.hundred Re-
publicans, who, when tue territory is ad-
mitted as State, will step forward and
elect two Republican Senator'S and one
Republican Congressman. The true in
tent of the hill is to gain political power
under the mask Of desire to abolish
polygsmy. The Republican psrty has
been In power since 1850, and during
that time polygamy has been preached
and praciiced by the followers OF BRrs-
HAM YoUNG. unmolested by any and all
Republican administrations. Now, when
the population is sufficiently large to
warrant the admission Of Utah as q
State, the steel hand Of EDNuNDs, dex-
terously covered with the sottest kind OF
fur, is seen in the act of striking down
almost the entire voting population IN
der the pretext OF Furnishing persons
guilty Of poIygamy. but really to aid the
Republican party to retain power. A
bill for the abolishing OF polygamy,
pure and simple, will be favored by the
true men Of all parties, but such an one
as Senator EDMUNDs', which inflicts dis.
REIMBURSEMENT for the benefit OF bis party
rather than to reform the moral aspects
OF the system, should be defeated and
Congress-, by so doing, would administer
q proper Iebuke to those who hold the
interests OF their 7arty above all otbes
