 was glad to see how much of the banks are now cased with stone. Trees grow with difficulty in ths sand and their roots suffer from the salt water. sandy bank Is carrl- ed by the wash of the steamers into the deep water channel. But this stone casing resists the wash and when it is complete the con- pany will be able to increase without danger their regulation speed. We met with no ob
 stacle for two hours. In this great highway of nations we saw no life the wild marsh birds and the waste of water stretch ing away to the yellow desert. There are gares or passing places every few miles, where the deep waterway is widened from 24 to 50 yards and sometimes more, and q sIgnaiman system stops or allows to pass the ships ac- cording as tEe next run Is free or oc- cupied We passed the first gare success | fully but at the second the ball was holsted 1 above the flag, which, in canal language, means sgo into the siding" Nothing came 1 bv before sunset, when all traffic ceases, and | we lay in the quiet moonlight with every
 intention to proceed at sunrise. But when |
 came up next morning to see the start l found fleet of great ships, each with It's noisy little tug and yellow flag at the mast head slipping along in single file. 1t was grand way of realizing the work of the canal
 Nineteen vessels went by. averaging, our 1 captain told me, l 1,500 tons burthen. Ali | save two carried the British flag. Three were crammed with pilgrims, forecastie, main 1 deck, and quarter deck, one mass of life. l Even the boats were full of then and from l under a canvas awning peeped the yelled faces l of women. One lot were Russian pilgrims l from the Caucasus-savage looking fellows in fur caps and black cloaks; the others were 1 Alasrians and Moors in turban and burnous. The rest of the ships were cargo laden, twen- ty-two and twenty three feet in the water. l All went by safely till the 17th, the Scotch l Greys came. She went yard or two out of l her course, and at once WAS aground. She
 had passed us, but others had still to come,
 and there was nothing for 1t but to wait till
 the Scotch Greys got free. Hawsers were
 made fast to stern and bow on either bank,
 and after an hours shouting and steamine
 and wincing, the big ship swung into place
 again. The rest came by without disaster,
 and we got under way at II o'clock.

Dogs Toilets in Paris.


 There are 1869 workpeople, male and fe- male, who subsist in Paris by making per sonal decorations and habiliments for pct dogs or otherwise aying attention to the ca nine race. The trade done by them is esti- mated at total of 5000, 900 to 5000, 900 of francs, or nearly quarter of million ster- ling, so that it may be easily guessed how great a commotion is caused among this sec ton of society as often as the dog days come around and tho infexible rules of the French police as to muzzling these animals are again put in force against their owners. The rage for dressing up the canine pets has long pre- vailed in France to a much greater extent than on this side of the Channel, and has as stunned extravagant proportions. The FfgdrC gives some examples of the rnost notable fashions now to be observed among the fair owners. Almost every variety of dog has it's own proper toilet. besides it's own special toilet case, containing the brushes, combs, sponges and other appliances for enabling il to be washed and dressed The ornaments suit able for a ''bouledogue"would be by no means fitting for 'lulu," nor does it at all follow

would require plenty of sea room to avoid accidents. The present width of twenty five yards would not be necessary to increase the width or surface of the whole waterway which is already 100 yards from bank to bank The second mode of increasing the facilities of passage is more feasible, and has much to recommend it. It consists in con- siderable increase of the number of gares or passing places, and in the lengthening of those already in existence. There are at present thirteen, and they might easily be increased to twenty. The same precautions now practised would be still enforced in the passing of ships. The block system would be carried out from gare to gare. The buoying of the passage is already excellent, and there would be no increase in the danger of fouling and jamming. The consequences of such accidents in so narrow a water way as the canal are so serious that I think, on the whole, the increasing of the gares is most to be recommended.

HECK ERsS PERFECT BAKING POWDER,
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 sir;-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed- ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained 8 higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuit) than either the sRoyal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with a number
 known only to the commissioner twill thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder submitted to an impartial test 1 it's superiority is acknowledged, l and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully | sustained.

Fireworks at Rome are proverbially splen- did, but those in celebration of the birthday of the Constitution surpassed all others. The great set piece, which covered the whole front of Castle Saint Angelo, represented the exhibition palace of flower show. This was shown in gray morning tints, then in full sunshine, then in soft moonlight beams, then shadowed by twilight, which gradually faded into night. Some of the pieces repre- sented flowers on the ground, which when you thought were fading away shot up in the air, and burst forth into showers of meteors. Marguerites were, of course, in great abun- dance, in honor to the Queen. Other rock cts burst forth into huge sunfowers, which l seemed to get the whole air on fire.
