Great Engineering Work,

One of the wonders of marine engineer
ing is the ship canal through the Finland
bay from st. Petersburg to Cronstadt, in
Russia. The bay between the two cities
is shallow that formerly only vessels of
very light draft could come to st. Peters
burg, and in consequence an enormous
amount of literage was necessary, the
cost of which, some So, 000, 600 annually,
becoming altogether too burdensomo for
the st. Petersburg trade. Since the
completion of the canal mentioned, the
largest vessel employed in the Baltic
trade can reach st. Petersburg. The
canal is seventeen miles long, and is
formed by two OF IN breakwaters
running parallel to each other 275 feet
apart. Between them a channel of the
uniform depth of 90 feet has been
dredged. About half way between the
two cities the canal is widened to q har-
Dor of refuge about one mile square, also
formed by breakwaters. The lat
ter are almost entirely con-
structed of cribs filed with
stone, which were generally sunk in win
ter time when the bay was frozen over
solid. The cribs as much as three feet
thick, and sunk through holes cut in the
ice. This work was by no means free
from danger, for frequently the water
would suddenly rise through the hole
made and food tho camp Ct the laborers,
who had then to work standing knee
deep in freezing cold water. At other
times q sudden snow storm, in which it
was impossible to stand erect, would
force the laborers to win the COAST, crawl
ing a distance or three miles or more
over the ice. To complete the canal, it
was necessary to sink about 10000, 600
cubic feet of rock and stones, while to
while to deepen the channel 230, 600, 900
cubic feet OF earth had to be removed.
OF course such an undertaking was pos
sible only in Russia, and at the time when
her population was still largely made up
of serfs, whose labor could be had for the
cost of board and clothing.

Bliss Opening.

Despite the disagreeable weather a
large number of ladies attended the mil
linery ope"ing at Bliss Saturday. The
display is not only very croditable to that
establishment, and is in keeping with its
well.earned reputation of being always at
the front, but is also one creditable to
any city. All the latest and prettiest
styles of bonnets and hats, and many
novelties too many to enumerate-but
all interesting, especially to the ladies,
were displayed in a veiy tasty manner.
As fast as other new styles appear in
New York they will be received at Bliss
and the regular summer opening will oc-
cur in about three weeks.

The clouds above and the mud beneath
made the dawning of Easter Sunday very
unpropitious for any very great observ-
ance of the day, but despite the gloomi.
ness of the exterior, the interiors of the
churches were blooming indeed, and the
pews well filled with worshippers and
listeners. No Easter Sunday for years
has been so generally observed by the
churches, especially as regards floral dec
orations, as yesterday, and this was tho
more noticeable because there is not this
year the usual abundance of flowers from
which to draw the desired adornments
for pulpits and alters. The attempt to
make the interior of the churches thus
beautiful attracted more than usual at
tention to the fact that Council Bluffs,
while it has has strong and wealthy
church organizations, has not a single
church building which 10 really worthy OF
such a city, and yesterdays attempt to
beautify could not butrevive the oft asked
question and send it home with peculiar
force, why do not some of these strong
churches proceed with the erection OF
buildings which are in keeping with the
size and financial standing of the city,
H EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Easter is especially observed by the
ritualistic churches, and st. Paul's was
filled yesterday. The floral decorations
were many and beautiful. The marble
font was nearly hidden by a p~rofusion Of
roses and vines, there being n hundred
anil twenty roses OF various %colors, this
decoration being the especial work of
Mrs. j. N. Baldwin. who sent to Chicago
for the flowers. A large cross of Gala
lilies, immortelles, white roses and other
flowers, all snowy white, stood above the
altar. 1t was arranged by Mr.. Caspar,
the florist, and was the tribute of Mr..
Frank Pusey. There was in front Of
the cahncel rail apyramid of plants
and plants in blossom, while roses of cut
flowers, clamberlng vines, stands OF
plants, and other adornments made the
whole effect very pleasing. Little baskets
of flowers hung from the arches of the
doors and the chandeliers. The cut
flowers were all Caspar's and were very
Hastily arranged.
The choir consisted of Mr.. and Mrs
Marshall Treynor, Mrs. N. o. Ward, ant

Rev. Mr.. Mackay, the rector, preached

In the afternoon a children's service
was held in which carols were sung,
Easter cards distributed and other inter
esting features presented, the most novel
of which was the ''iug-breaking.' The
children of the Sunday school have been
gathering in little jugs, made for the
purpose, their Easter offerings, and the
breaking of these jugs and the giving of
the money therein contained, seemed to
delight them greatly, and certainly inter
ested all who were present, young and
old.

THE METHODIST CHURCH.

Broadway M. E. church was quite
deliberately decorated. Festoons were
extended from ~dragoned corners of the
church, crossing the center chandelier.
Upon the walls appeared a number of
large framed pictures, mostly landscapes,
while on the wall back of the pulpit were
three mottos, the central me being ''Tell
His Disciples That He Is Rlsen," on one
side of which appeared SAN Hail" on
the other "Peace Be Unto You. Just
below the central motto or text, was hung
a beautiful picture representing a maiden
about to pick up a cross of flowers, while
Christ appearing to her offers her another
cross. There were stands of flowers and
plants, bouquets, etc lin profusion. Among
the adornments appeared a large and
beautiful Easter card-a passion flower
lying upon a cross. 1t was received the
other day from Omaha, directed to "The
Members of Broadway NJ. II. Church."
Rev. j. u. Armstrong, the pastor,
preached an Easter sermon from the text
which appeared above him on the wall,
'Tell His Disciples That He Is Risen"
The discourse was historical largely in its
character, and he formed the history OF
nations of the world into a pyramid with
Christ as the apex. All vents before
Christ's coming to his mind pointed to-
wards Him, and all since referred back to
Him.
Last evening the Sunday school held a
service which was both entertaining aud
novel, it being on ''egg-beating." The
| children had been accommodating their saw
ings in eggs. and the breaking OF these
and contributing the money to the Sun
day school, was accompanied by a soao
service and recitation OF passages of scrip.

given by the pastor.
II CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
The altar and pulpit of the Congrega-
tional church yesterday were transformed
intO almost a summer bower, blooming
with beauty. A cross of white flowers,
with border of green, was placed upon
the organ. In front Of the pulpit ap.
peared another snowy white cross and a
heart below it. Upon the communion
table were vases containing Gala lilies,

Presidential Prospects.

Washington special: At the White
House it is asserted that Arthur is sure
of 1856 votes on the first ballot. Tho
tables published in some of the papers
that favor Arthur's nomination, giving
him 375 votes on the first ballot are not
pronounced correct. In addition to the
356 votes which the president expects to
get on the first ballot, he has a list of
seventy-four delegates who are checked
off as sure to vote for him on the second
ballot.
At is said that Gen. Sherman has writ
ten letter to delegate to the republi-
can convention positively forbidding the
use of his name before the convention
under any and all circumstances, and as
positively declaring that he will not ac-
cept the nomination.
But Senator Sherman has written a
letter in which he says: have not re-
garded my nomination as possible thing,
nor have in any way sought to influ-
ence the action of the convention. If
the nomination comes, it will be more
grateful if unsought, and will then try
to meet its responsibilities. If not, I
shall be content, without disappoint-
ment, to abide the decision of the con-
ventiOn.

of Gallatin county, has good public
buildings, good schools, and school,
house just completed at cost of $50, 600;
good society, fine residence property, the
business portion of the place well built,
broad streets, and great sidewalks, an
efficient fire department, the city orderly
and well governed, and population of
5000. Brick of an excellent quality are
manufactured, the coal industries pushed
even with demand, mining general and
agriculture principal pursuit. The vol
ume of trade is large and heavy stocks
are carried, Bozeman being a source of
supply in an unusually large tributary
country, and the demand general. There
are three banks. two national, one pri-
vate, and much other individual enter
prise in cash transaction. Capital is
abundant for the business of the place,
with traffic in merchandise greatly over
done, but the region abundant in resour-
ces and the country, comparatively:
poor-house in any just means of develop
ment. The chances to capitalists
throughout Montana are simply i'm
mense, and parties with nominal means
may operate most proitably here. Pro-
rerties at Sixteen-Mile creek, with estab-
lishment prospectively as good as were
ever held at many of the most famous
mining camps of the world in the Clark's
Fork district, and owned here, invite
attention in promise of most profitable
venture.
While the country is determined as
among the greatest in mineral, it is, as
yet, in no manner prospected- establish
ed in the finest grazing regions known,
broad ranges still invite occupancy, and
known as most prolific in all agricultural
pursuit. Free homes are still plentiful
in awaiting settlement. Inall its scenes,
its present or prospective, so far as held,
there are none 40 fair. none more bright
or SO filled with promise, as is shown in
the valley Of the Gallatin-''the garden
of the gods" Surrounded in the grand
est sources of supply, occupied in most
fruitful fields ofproduct, replete in means
of every blessing--favored in all and
shadowed by none. there is found within
the valley of the Gallatin an earthly
paradise such as must be seen to be al
mired, and is only known is being pos
sessed! It's glory and grandeur are told
only as, comparatively, may be number
ed the globules Of the sea or the sands
upon its strand-its fertility approached
in any desired demand, its beauty fresh
as the sweetness of morning, its utility a
full chorus in grand marches of glad
song!
Bozeman, as citadel, is the key to it
all. The Notifications, in advancement,
already made stretch far beyond those SO
hastily framed and recently used in de-
fense from the savage, and will compare
favorably with the best known in occu-
pying the territory Here the remains
of its founder repose, and near them is
buried the. body Of Comstock, discoverer
of the famous Comstock mines. The
place is replete in the history of pioneer
life, Indian wars, hardships, and suffer-
ing, yet in possession of all modern
means of progress in all
sources of thrift, possessed III every
abundance, prominent IN all greatness,
and prolific in much promise.

Grant and COnkling.

The Blaine men have about got to the
bottom of their ammunition wagon, as is
evident from statement they published
the oath inst, that Grant and Conkling
have come out for Blaine. It is che most
absurd rumor of the campaign. Just
now Grant has something else to think
about, and is not in position to exer-
else much political influence. Gentle
men who have seen him since the failure
say he is utterly broken down by the
recent disaster, and that his life has been
shortened by ten years. 1t will be an
uncommonly cold day when Conkling
comes out for the man who drove him
out of the senate.
