from Sea to Sea.

4 project is now being agitated in
France in favor of a canal across Gascony
and Languedoc, TO connect the Atlantic
and the Mediterranean. As commercial
speculation it is predicted that the enter
prise would be q great sue eSs. As a
matter of strategic Importance, French
statesmen advocate il. The great draw
back is the stormy entrance TO the
Gironde. There is bar at the mouth of
the Gironde, of which in stormy weather
captains are obliged TO keep beating
about for two or three days, but the re
sources of science are now so great that
perhaps this entrance could be cleared
away.-Boston Budget.
