THE PANAlIA CANAL.


 The Panama canal does not attract much attention nowadays, but work upon it is nevertheless going on more or less busily and money is being spent at a rapid rate A correspondent of the Boston Herald gives some interesting information concerning the way the aAairs of the company are managed. He says that the poor shareholders at Paris, the many epetits rentiers, '" the ''consisrRe, P the 'petits employees" and all that nk who have painfully hoarded up their soas and francs till they have accum ulated enough to buy a small bond, 8 little 100 franc or 50o- franc ''obligation,'' little think that the chief manager of the works is furnished by the company and at it's Cor rather thsir) expenae with residence costing f.15o, 900 (not more than twice what it could have bsen bouRha for year previous by any citizen or private individual who had that sum to invest); that this same house was add ed to and improved at q cost to the canal company of about f. 75, 900 additional; that nearly f. 75, 1000 additional were expended in furniture shipped from France for the fur nishing of this same residence of the chief manager; that their money pays for the four private carriages and necessary horses fur nished the same gentleman by the company and at it's expense; that their money also pays for the $7,00O palace car run at Q monthly expense of $1, 200 (some assert the regular monthly expenses to be $2,ooO) for the sole unique purpose of conveying twice per week the director general up and down the line; that it is their money that pays nu merous negroes from $2 to 6 per day for doing nothing for the company.
 Everything, the correspondent says, in the management as well as in the awarding of the contracts, is inten:ely French. The best contracts, those which yield the most profit, are for the greater part awarded to French men. Aud this, too, despite the fact that Count de Lesseps and the general manage ment of the company are constantly talking of the enterprise as an "intsrnational enter prise, !" "great universal undertaking" ''ths Universal Company of the Interocsanic Canal" etc. Though they pretend Co be sn international" enterprise 1t ia 50 only in the sense that the management 0nd0avors to get the cash of all nations and peoples to carry on the work. It is universal" in the sense that all may take stock in it, but when it be- comes question of getting "fat" contract then kissing goes by favor," and the oa- cials see to it that their friends and relatives are well taken care of
 Captain Snow, an American engaged in the great york; is reported as saying that the company pays from three to four times what 1t costs for every bit of work dens. But there has been money enough 90 far, and if it holds out the great enterprise will be car- ried through. There is talk that it will be finished in 1888, bat if it is finished in 1898 1t will be surprisinp
