A Costly Canal.

While Mr.. De Lesseps is gradually re-
ducing, on paper, the prospective cost
of the Panama Caral, greatly to the COM
fort of the stockholders, the Colombian
Treasury Department notifies the COM
pany that it must pay the cost of main
tanning 1000 or 5000 Colombian troops
on the lsthmus, so as to keep order
The Minister of the Treasury estimates
that the expense will be about half
million year, or seven million in the
fourteen years granted for completing the
contract; and possibly, he adds, the cost
may reach ten or twelve millions. 1t is
certainly true that constant and fierco
riotmg between the jamaican and Car
thagonian laborcrs has been reported
along the line of tho canal, during which
score of the former have perished. The
employees 90 armed; and rs there is
| plenty of liquor in circulation, and n force
| of eight thousand men to control, nclud-
| ing odds and ends from all parts of the
world there is no doubt that the Govern
ment has difficult task. Still, even
| before the canal was started, the 18TH
mus was not the most tranquil part OF
the republic, and the stockholders must
now look rather rucfuly at the prospect
of substantially supporting the standing
army of Colombia for the next twelve or
fourteen years. But perhaps they should
| think themselves fortunate that some
reason is not found for their shoulder
ing also the naval expenses of Colombia.

A Rogue and His Captors,

some OF the city detectives entertain
and express the belief that the bogus
Lord Ashburton," lately arrested in
NY. city for passing forged Bank of Lon
don circular notes, was pardoned out of
the California State Prison through the
influence of persons who wish him to
work similar scheme on a large
scale. This would seem an incredible
suggestion if it were not for the fact that
from the time the fellow fled from N. Y.
city after robbing Fitzpatrick, the jew
eller, he was repeatedly used for such
purposes by the Western detectives who
captured him. AT st. Louis they made
him give up everything valuable he had,
but returned him the bogus circular notes
and gave him tickets to Denver. They
followed him there, aud when he had
frmldulently obtained $4,000 from one
of the banks in that city, rc-arrested him,
made him surrender the good greenbacks,
and hurried him off to San Francisco
with the bad money.
AT that place he deposited $40, 900 of
circular notes as margin in q stock oper-
alton, and the detectives waited for some
time for him to realize on this invest
mcnt, intending to grab all again. But
before he could obtain settlement the
bank officers were nppriscd of his charac-
ter and they retained his stock as
security. He was arrested and sent to
prison for five years, and the detectives
were thus foilcd. He was pardoned
after four years and came directly to
New York, where he was arrested, but
has been again quietly released, nobody
appearing to prosecute him. The sus-
