We rsrentlv devoted considerable space
10 the above subject. showing from eiia-
tious from the memorial submitted 10
Congress- in behalf of the improvement
thai the siguers to the same, Senator
Rrovrp who warmly urged the project,
and the War Department, were misled
into approving Route No. 4, when General
Gillmore's report was strongly in favor Of
Route No. l, through what is known as
Habersham's Cut.
Those familiar with the object sought
in the construction Of the canal and
the wording Of General Gilmore
report upon the surveys Of routes
must admit that a blunder has
been committed. We were in hopes
that. in view of the failure OF Congress 10
enlarge the appropriation already granted
for the improvement, steps might De taken
to correct the error ere the passage OF an
other river and harbor bill, which IN all
likelihood. would contain supplemental!
appropriation in aid Of the project.
1t would appear, however, that mat
tiers have gone too far, and mat
the $4,000 already voted must he spent
on Route No. 4. Our attention has been
called 20 an extract from the Records oi

tives q H. r. 6,242). as follows:

1t would appear that the money granted
for the improvement was voted for its
construction by Route No. 4. If so applied
it Will practically be wasted. as no advan-
tages are likely to accrue from the canal,
as projected. that are not furnished by the
old passage through the marsh. 1t may
be assumed, however, that no efforts will
be spared to secure an appropriation for
| the construction Of a new passage by
Route No. l, which should, from every
consideration Of public interest, have
been selected in the first place.

Giygling Girls.

Giggling, says the New York Graphic.
is said to be exclusively an American
accomplishment. Perhaps it is. We
do not know.
What is giggle? Scientists-that is
to say, anatomists. professors of faci-
ology, psychology. phrenOlogy, physi-
ology, and some of the other ologies-
might explain the cause of it from their
several too excessively practical points
of view. They might explain why a
hen produces eggs and why butter is an
extract of COW. But the giggle is a
very different thing. The giggle is a
cross between sore heart and an ac-
tive and bounding appreciation of fun.
Your giggler is never demOnstrative.
He can not be demonstrative--it is not
in his nature. He is the sly Joker,
though he thoroughly ENJOYS the roar
ing cartoon. He is conservative. He
expresses himself in few words when,
at long intervals, he finds it necessary
to do that daring thing.
He is the man who in every process.
sion brings up the rear. and who never
has friend to walk with him. He is
the odd man at the dinner which re-
gures partners. He never dances. He
doesn't swear because that would at
tract attention. He is white-faced and
passionless, though, of course. he gives
way to violence when he is alone bv
tearing his hair.
We have omitted to mention the
somewhat important fact that no man
giggles. Your giggler is. after all. a
girl. Not often u woman, for your wo-
man laughs and doesn't care who hears
it. She has lived long enough to know
that she had better have her entire fun,
or let the fun entirely alone. 1t is only
the girl who giggles. 1t is merely that
bone which has not matured, that
thought which scars only to the bonnet,
that beauty which has not become con-
scious of the fact that it is beyond cri,i-
cism, that doubt which is nursed only
by the girl who has not had several en-
gagements, and accordingly is not con-
WINGED that her reputation as charm
ing person is established.
We find. accordingly, that the gig
gle is unbaked dough, undeveloped art.
uncOoked veal, incipient laughter. 1t
belongs never to man or woman; but
merely to girls. II is pulseless, but not
sOulless. The fun which inspires it has
been driven back by timidity as with
a sledge-hammer, but it is there. It.
has no sinew, but it promises. like
the tenderness of the young willow, to
develop, for it is full Of sap. 1t is the
brief song of bird in the night. 1t
sometimes discourages the one who
would win laughter, but presently it
will spread its wings ami shake its sides,
knowing what it laughs for, and having
little thought of what the world thinks
Of the pretty sight and sound.

A Remarkable Snake.

There is a most remarkable snake
bottled up at Bellevile. 1t is fully as
long Us n mans arm, but in no part
thicker than an ordinary piece Of Irvine.
1t has evidently got head but it is so
enthusiastically small that it cannot be
distinguished from the rest of the body
with the naked eye. In fact so far as
can be seen without the aid of glass,
both ends are exactly alike. The color
is almost black, with light shading on
the under side. 1t was placed in aglass
of water Yesterday, and succeeded 10
crawling over the rim and dropping to
the floor. where it lay for long time,
and wien discovered was nearly dead.
On being placed in the wafer again,
however, it became quite lively. 1t was
captured in the Red River, having be-
come entangled in fish line just ut the
moment when the angler yanked fish
from the murky depths. 1t is probably
one of the most curious specimens
ever seen in This country and pains
should be taken for its preservation.
Mr. Higgerty proposes TO put it through
Course of ira ming and make u good
moral snake of it Winnipeg Free

reporter of the Washington Critic
interviewed the bartender of the Ma

the following information regarding

at the capital:--

are heavy on mixed drinks. Men diff

old Senator BOgy. | could ALWAYS tell
what he wanted and when he came in
l would set it out without asking ques-
ti0u-gin and sugar was his drink.
Senator Ferry never came 10 the bar.
but he was a great drinker of sherry in
his room. Davis. of West Virginia,
generally took straight whisky; he was
not much of q drinker. though. Judge
Davis never came in the bar. but had
sherry and whisky sent 10 his room.
Maxey. of Texas never takes anything
stronger than lemonade. Coke takes
sugar and whisky. Bayard takes the
same. PaS.et0n is very fond of a
whisky pune Jones. of Florida never
mixes anyt " with his. He takes
whisky and drinks it out of water
glass, having an aversion to small ones
Jonas and Vest. rs rule, take it with
little sugar. Eaton. of Connecticut,
was pretty regular. He sometimes took
whisky but most generally wine. He
seldom came in with any one. He
would drink small bottle of Mumm's
extra dry, pay for it and walk out.
There was old Senator Dave Armstrong
OF Missouri. He always took whisky
and lemon, forty drops. Lapham. of
New York would always start on whis-
Ky. but there was no telling what he
would wind up on. John B. Clark, of
Missouri generally took it straight. So
did Van Horne. Proctor Knott never
mixed it. and always wanted Old Bour-
bon. Page. of California. and George,
of Oregon rs rule, took straight whis-
Ky. The great objector, Mr.. Holman,
used sugar and water. Alexander
Stephens never came into the bar-room
though he was regular drinker. He
carried al-ittle eight ounce vial of the
very best whisky In his pocket. Gener-
al Phil Cook, of Georgia is one of the
most jovisl Congressman that comes in
here. Het axes little sugar in his
whisky"
.'How is it that none of them drink
beer?'
''Very few of the old time fellows
drink beer, especially those from the
South. The young men are the beer
drinkers"
Ibid you ever see Judge Edmunds in
here?'
''Oh, yes, on few occasions he and
Anthony and Ben. Perley Poole
would drop in. They always took
straight whisky" Senator Beck is
a great lover of Scotch whisky, and
Senator Williams of wishky toddy."
ut doesn't appear that any of our
statesmen indulge in fancy drinks?"
mo, sir. II you want to see fancy
drinks demolished. you just watch a
crowd of young bloods from the South
and West get up to the counter. There
may be half dozen in the crowd, and
each of them will take different fancy
