Proposed nicaragua Canal.

A Nicaragua correspondent writes:
N. Menocal and party are surveying
On the river and still have another
months work ahead. The careful
survey now in progress has developed
new and interesting data. Between
the Lake and Greytown, a perfectly
level piece of country has been found
for sixteen miles. It will lessen the
distance between the points named
seven miles and reduce the cost So
100000. New studies of the harbor o.
Greytown will follow. A leading
English engineer now here says this
canal can be built easily; that it pre-
sents no engineering difficulties.
He estimates that it can be built in
five years after the plant is on the
ground, and that its cost will not ex-
coed $50, OO0, 900 gold, different fig
ure from that insisted on by NJ. Me-
nocal and his associates. The stories
of jObbery ia land along the line of
the proposed canal are utterly with
out foundation.

Lyon County CNev.l Times. !


These handwriting nuisances are good
examples for thriftless white men to fol.
low. They delve and dig, and prod and
lab in all sorts of places. Where dirty
shirt or speck of gold is to be found the
Monaghan turns up like buZZard over a
defunct squaw. If he doesn't make much
he makes something lie lives on moth
ing. and sinks the balance. In fact, an
ordinary Chinaman can keep fat on the
smell of a northwest wind, and work like
an ambitious politician all the time In
this respect he is far ahead of the lazy,
worthless CaUcasian bum who poses as a
standee in saloons, waiting for somebody
to ask him to partake of a temperance
emetic. We may curse him and peTpleX
him with all the meanness that Christian
ity can invent, but the fact remains that
he is the boss toiler, the interchangeable
worker, who succumbs to no obstacle that
can be surmounted by balloon or snow
shoes
We digress. The Chinaman in Gold
canyon was the topic. They are indus
triously pegging away at ground that was
abandoned years ago by white men who
by intermittent SpaSms of labor could not
keep even with their whisky bills, and
they are making good wages all the time.
1t is next to impossible to tell what they
do make, but the big wads of amalgam
tney accumulate now ana then are posi-
tive evidence that Gold canyon has not
petered out With free water and will
ing muscle they become quite thrifty in a
year or two. If the noble white man
would so diligently sacrifice himself to
manual labor. and bring his superior in,
telligence to bear upon the pick and
shovel, he would make good deal more
than the Chinaman But many lofty
white man is now torturing himself with
the conundrum where's the hash Sc

pigtail has fat sack tucked away as the
nucleus of fortune that will make him
an opulent person in the Flowery king
dom by and by.

Cheap Gaming.

In the Supreme Court yesterday morning,
Judge McCully heard Mr.. w. A. Kinney,
counsel for four Cinnamon, vino appealed
from the sentence of the Police Magistra te,
which was that they should pay $50 each,
and be imprisoned at hard labor for ten
days. Mr.. Kinney asked to have the SEN
tence mitigated. The judge granted the
appeal, and said, in substance, that he did
not see that he should administer exemplary
punishment to these Cinnamon for gaming.
He noticed that no other foreigners were
brought up for this offeBsc, althougI they
all know that gaming was carried on by
them to a large extent. These Cinnamon
were gambling in there own houses. It was
no worse for them to play their own games
in their own houses, than it for other
foreigners to play their games for money.
He would, therefore, reduce their punish
ment to a fine of So each, and one hours
Imprisonment with hard labor.

BEE FARMING.

The ADVERTISER recently alluded
to the advantage derivable from bee
farming, and cited the example of
California and Tahiti as worth fol-
lowing. From actual observation we
spoke of the bee ranches of Southern
California, but all over the State bees
are kept for honey making. We find,
from recent statistics published in
San Francisco, that there are at least
five hundred bee farms in California,
producing annually between four and
five million pounds of honey. This
is an enormous showing, and indi-
Gates what might be done in these
Islands were an intelligent and per-
sistent effort made to establish bee
farming as a permanent industry.
From New York to Colorado
there are thousands of bee farms,
the owners of which devote their time
exclusively to that work. If the Ha-
waiian natives could be induced to
take an interest la this business they
could add largely to their own income
and create an article of export which
always commands a fair market
price.

sary for such an undertaking, hence
the growing.
1t will probably be found that the
interview with Mr. Offerman, as pub
Iished in the I" Chronicle" is incor-
rect in every essential. There had not
been time for him to have read it and
to have communicated, as he doubt
less would, with Colonel Spreckels.
1t was simply a cOwardly and dis
graceful attempt at intimidation.

The editor of the Plaindealer, who
struck mighty blows for Cleveland and
Reform, during the last campaign, and
who is still a member of the democratic
National Executive committee, is in our
city with a party which may be de-
scribed as cosmopolitan as well as dis
tinguished. The celebrated editor, Mr.
Armstrong, paid us pleasant visit last
night with his friend, Mr.. Peacock, and
is highly pleased with Florida. He is
anxious to meet the Hon. P. 2. Bishop
and other Floridians with whom he has
been associated in National Conventions
and elsewhere, that his visit may be made
still more enjoyable by renewing ties
formed by association in labors which
have been crowned with such glorious
success. The party will remain in Pa
latka few days, and then proceed to
see the wonders of the Ocklawaha and
other famous localities. The following
ladies and gentlemen are among these
visitors:

Prunes are so often cooked haphazard
that they are not relished. 1t is well to
have definite receipt for them, as they
are necessarily often used for the chill
dren's tea when richer preserves are ex-
cluded. Put one pound of prunes in a
stew-pan, with water enough to cover
them, a largecup of sugar, three cloves
and stick of cinnamon simmer until
the fruit is quite soft.
