Now that the area of cheap lands
has passed so far to the westward, and
the value Of lands in the Central West
ern States has increased to figures ap.
proximating those in some of our
Eastern States, the process Of redeem
ing some Of the swamps and sloughs,
which has hitherto existed merely in
vague intention is becoming an estab-
lished fact. An Important Instance
OF this kind is reported from Tolono,
Ill. A canal fifteen miles long, thirty
Eve feet wide, and seven and a half
feet deep is being dug by an enormous
steam dredge. As soon as the ditch
is completed, twenty thousand acres
Of land will be released and fifty
Thousand acres will be rendered much

estimated that the entire cost 81, the

operation will not amount to one

be secured for cultivation. No work
OF similar magnitude has been at,

1 John Mccullough was the son OF an Irish
farmer, and was born near Londonderry,
in 1887. Losing his father when young his
education devolved upon his uncle. The
boy came to New York in 1853. be-
ing almost penniless on landing.
Drifting to Philadelphia he devoted
himself to chairmaking, but soon left it to
become an actor, on a salary of 81 a week.
He played number of years with Edwin
Forrest. Mr.. Forests appreciation of
Mccullough lasted till his death, when he
presented him with the manuscript OF the
best plays.
In 1881 he visited London. achieving
brilliant success. Each year seemed to
confirm his popularity, and so thoroughly
had his leading roles become identified with
his name, that it will be long before the
public will accept of any substitute. His
splendid physique and round, melodious
voice supplied the requisite tragic dignity
and delighted the audience. His Brutus
has rarely been equaled, while his Ghost in
Hamlet" surpasses anything that has pre-.
coded it.
His disposition led him to make warm
and fast friends everywhere, to whom he
sacrificed both time and talents. He be-
came victim to excessive hospitality,
little dreaming OF the terrible retrbution
that would follow this incessant drain up
on his vitality. He lived under high pres
sure. He drove the machinery OF his con-
stitution to its utmost capacity without
rest for repairs. He broke down, and the
engineers in examining the wreck found it
irreparable.

The first "sight" which Cyrus w.

London, was the monument to Andre,
the spy, which stands for a few days

as if Riel had deceived them. and as
if they cared little what his fate

to go very hard with them, as they have
nothing to exist upon, and every thing in the
shape Of food is SO dear. Potatoes are

Prince Albert. Many of them do not yet
understand that they did any wrong in re-
belling. Many of the rebels are now freight

also reports that a great many half breeds

bellion, and who lost thereby, are going
south to the American side OF the line.

In the biography Of Louis Agassiz,
the distinguished naturalist, just pub
lished, it appears that at the age OF
ten years he was sent to the college at
Bienne, Switzerland, where the boys
studied nine hours day, and were
healthy and happy. In later life, when
he had become familiar with the
methods of education in the United
States, Mr.. Agassiz often asked HIM
self whetherit was difference of climate
or method which makes the public
school life here SO much more trying
to the health OF children than the one
under which he was brought up. The
question was never answered by him,
and is still q topic OF discussion.
