Proposed Canal Across Ireland.

FrCcmdn'S JOHrndi: The project OF
constructing ship canal across
Ireland has been warmly espoused by
the influential people in England.
Elaborate plans and surveys have
been made at considerable expense,
and have been submitted by Capt.
Eads, the American engineer. The
plans were prepared by Mr.. I. A.
Walker, of Great George street, West
Minister, The proposed canal would
be 127 miles in length, and would con
tain thirty locks. For ships of l,5OO
tons, the cost would be $4,000, 900;
for ships of $500 and upward, Ego,
600, 900. If built on this scale the canal
would be 200 feet wide on the surface
and 100 feet at the bottom. The pass
age through the canal would be effect
ed By system of towagc, and it is
estimated that the passage of a ship
from Galloway Bay to Kingstown
would occupy between twenty-fouI
and thirty-six hours. An alternative
scheme Of a ship railway, in which
the ships would be carried in cradles
which could be constructed for El0
100000, is proposed, by which the
duration of the passage through thu
island would be reduced to twelve
hours. An immense aqueduct woulC
have to be constructed to carry tn
canal over the Shannon at Banogue
and would be over three miles IL
length, being one of the most diticul
and costly works in connection witt
the undertaking.

Any disinterested observer standing

American politics, Already, in the

sccnded into a mere mud-slinging
match, in which the newspapers vie
with each other for the championship.
As to the great issues" of which we
heard so much as the matter that were
to occupy the minds of the people,
they cut comparatively insignificant
figure so far. 1t is so much easier to
throw dirt than talk sense, so much

cuss questions of policy, that nine.

An Ideal Fowl,

Some beginners and many that are
contemplating keeping II few prime
fowls for pleasure and profit, unless
previously informed by reading some
good poultry paper or book, often
says: What breed must | keep to OBJ
tain the most beautiful plumagc, the
most prolific layers, the greatest size
and weight, and the sweetest and best
favored ncsh?' Poultcrers must not
expect to find all these merits in one
variety. A bird that would combine
all these lovely, useful and profitable
qualities would certainly include ideal
fowls. Nature wisely apportions and
compcnsatcs, distributes and divides
to each breed or variety certain or spc-
cial merits but at the same time she
never violates her incxorable laws by
allowing them to excel in an eminent
degree in all things.
Some breeds excel in hardness,
adaptation to exposure and climatic
changes, as, for instance, the Black
Russian, Dominique, Langshau, and
Plymouth Rock. Now, nature does

ncroism ana Justification.


If cannibalism is clearly proved
against the Greely party the public
willA make the survivors objects of
hero worship. There is no element of
hcroism in sustaining life by such
means. The true heroes, in the public
esteem, will be the heroic dead those
who met their doom without thought
of prolonging life by fcasting on human
flesh.
The question of justification is a
very different one, if that can be called
Il question which is an indisputablc
fact Misrepresentation is the first
law OF nature" To deny its rightful-
ness would be to deny the right to life
itself. 1t isaright that belongs alike to
all living things, man rs well as beast.
There is difference in the manner in
which this primal right is exercised,
just rs there is Il difference in men.
To some men death would be prefer
able to life with cannibalism as the
only means of preserving it. There is
very great difference in people as to
the tenacity with which they cling to
life. and the sacrifices they are willing
to make to prolong it, rhc extent of
this feeling depends upon the charac-
ter of the individual, upon his mental
and physical organization 1t is an
inherited tendency, for the possession
or lack of which he is not responsible
The injunction put yourself in his
place. is not applicable to Il case like
this, because, though we may imagine
ourselves in such situation, we can
not divcst ourselves of our own char.
actcrs; consequently we can scarcely
conceive how one differently constitut-
ed from ourselves would act What
seems right for one would not be right
for another differently constituted.
must be remembered also that cx-
trcmc suffering had made these men
dcliriOuS; not only were their bodies
wasted away. but their minds had been
weakened, their moral sense bluntcd,
their accountability rs reasoning be-
ingS destroyed. Who can presume to
sci himself up in judmcnt on such
men.
The friends Of Lieutenant Grccly
will welcome with joy the statement
that the acts of cannibalSm were those
of individuals, committed secretly,
and unknown to the other members Of
the party, that nothing of the kind
came under his observation; but the
public at large will not believe it.. and
in public opinion, he and all other
survivors, though justified in presery-
ing their lives, will not be held up to
the admiration Of mankind as heroes,
If the praise of postcrity is of value it
would have been better for Grcely and
his men to have died, as did DE Long
