Tits .now'believed that the Hennepin
canal bill has friends enough in the
house to insure it's passage. Some
members from the eastern states IA
vor it, but it has scarcely any friends
IN the eastern press. The canal pro-
posed is in the main an enlargement
tof an existing canal which connects
the lakes at Chicago with the Missis-
aippi Through the Illinois river. To
widen and deepen it so as to make it
navigable for the craft which use the
upper Mississippi would require, it is
estimated, between eight and nine NALL
ION dollars. The advantages OF a
continuous water way between the
great river and thelakes are apparent.

In August last he predicted that the
winter OF 1886 would be unusually cold
and stormy on account of the planet Sat
urn being in perihelion. This planet had
forced the gulf stream out OF it's course and
nearer to the American shore which ac-
counted for the lack OF snow in the mari
time provinces this winter. He also pre-
dicted months ago, a heavy storm on the
meridian of London on March 3. which
would reach America on March accom-
panied by high tides. He says it will be

Life At Sing Sing.
Boston,Iournal.

Boston, Journal.
An interesting and very Inexpensive
experiment in convict education has
BEEN made during the last three years,
at Sing Sing Prison, under the man,
agenaent of Warden Brush. Scarcely
any one is discharged from Sing Sing
now who cannot read, write, and cast
up simple accounts. Each class meets
three times week for an hou2 and 8
i half of instruction, and the eonvicts
| are allowed lights in their rooms un-
It'll 8 o'clock for additional study.
Reading, writing, and arithmetic are
the subjects principally taught, and
there is no difficulty in finding in
structors among the higher grades OF
criminals. The effect 81 these night
schools is seen not only in the giving
occupation to the minds of the pris-
oners and insparting to them the ele-
meats OF simple education, but in a
marked elevation in their morals
They are more tractable and more am
bilious, and are more easily inauanc
ed by thoughts of better life. Tht
entire expense Of the introduction o
the system has been only .S75 TO,

Gratifying to the Bridegroom

Lewiston journal.
The habit of half reading anything
may be dangerous, especially if one
proposes to act on the information
thus gained, but it is seldom that so
nfortunate an accident occurs as one
reported by the Phillips Phonograph.
That paper was once guilty OF the
blunder OF inserting a marriage notice
in the space allotted to the deaths.
A careless Spiritualist medium in look
ing over the obituary notices for a
list of spirits who should appear at
the next seance hit upon the name OF
this particular lady, Mrs. Octavia G..
Russell OF Phillips. A few days later
the bride was astonished to see in a
Spiritualist paper that she had electro
fed a Boston audience by appearing
to them, though with a condition
arising from earth still clinging to her"
and announcing that she had "safely
reached a home, and met with kind
faces and loving welcome, and will be
perhaps not only helpful to herself,
but also to the friends who remain on
earth" This report was no doubt
gratifying to the bridegro pom, but h1ow
must the medium have telt when she
discovered her error?

How to Begin a Letter.

Boston Record.
1t is maintained with a good deal
OF vigor by some newspaper writer's,
chiefly women who have submerged
all their life in their profession and
who have left themselves very few in.
dividual relations, that nobody writes
letters nowadays. Men do not write
letters, it is true, unless they are in
that brief period which makes up the
existence of the sutton. But women
have by no means given over entirely
the art epistolary, and there is word
to be said about the form of the mod
ern letter of intimate friendship. It
is scarcely worth while in this day of
expressed cordiality to begin letter
for a person to whom one writes very
often in the conventional manner.
The division OF the paper and the "My
dear friend" on a separate line does
very we'll for all the courtesies Of cor
respondence which are outside the pale
OF close ties of family or affection.
But it is coming to be more the fash
ion, born of kindness, to begin with
a cheerful, informal sentence in which
the "My dear" or the name of the
person to whom one is writing appears.
There are, ofcourse, grades ofintimacy
in which this way is impossible; for
example, it should never be used in
addressing person much older than
ones self, or a younger person who
has not the power to recognize the
delicacy OF relation indicated by it's
use.

Fashion in Hair and Whiskers

Oh icago Journal.
~ learned my trade forty years ago
in Boston" said a leading barber to
me, as he trimmed my hair, "and it is
surprising how long fashion in hair
or whiskers will last. Ten years is
about as long as a fashion in coacs
can live, but in my business a style Of
hair or whiskers will last two or three
times as long. Take mustaches, for
instance. They came in about twenty
five years ago. l can remember very
we'll when q mustache was regarded
as the badge of a fop, an idiot, or
gambler. 1t was as much as a mans
reputation was worth to let the hair
grow on his upper lip. But now every
body wear them, and am afraid I
will not live long enough to see them
60 out. Anything to beat the bar
bers, you see. On the other hand
there is short hair. About the time
mustaches came in long hair went out.
In those days everybody wore long
hair, and what is more, they curled it.
Yes, sir. used to keep my curling
irous always around, and it was just
as common with men as it is with
women to have their hair curled.
The fashion of clipping the hair short
except on the top of the head, called
the Pompadour, is only about ten
years old, though the clippers were
invented three years earlier. The
scheme OF brushing hair by steam
started about twenty-five years ago,
and was given up about ten years ago,
on account of the numerous accident
al injuries inflicted on the customers"

Romantic Stories From the Sea.

Romantic Stories From the Sea.
Cape May Letter.
The sea breeze has quite romantic
song to sing this week A few days
ago there arrived at the New Colon:bia
q pleasant-faced young man, who reg
istered as Joseph B. Logan, Minneso-
ia. The day following another entry
was made in the same book: C. G. Lo-
gan, Baltimore. AS chance had it the
two gentlemen bearing the same name
were placed at one table in the dining
room, and the other guests of the
house as they passed through were at
tracted by curious resemblance be-
tween the two apparent strangers as
they sat side by side. Gradually the
objects OF the oft-repeated chances be-
gan to gaze at one another, each con-
sidering the other the cause of the Gu
rlosity. When they left the table they
both went directly to the office and
with one accord reached for the regis
ter book. At this juncture Mr.. Foss,
the clerk, simplified matters by intro
duclng Cnem. An eager VOlley OIqueS-
tions followed, and suddenly there was
a clasping of hands and simultane-
Gus exclamation of s'brother" and
arm-in-arm the two walked quickly
into an adjoining parlor. The story
was soon told. At the ages OF eight
and ten respectively, their parents
having died, the two brothers were
put under the guardianship of an I'M
Gle, but for various reasons they both
became disconnected, and the elder ran
away, since which time nothing had
been heard ofhim. The two men seem
ed positively overjoyed at the strange
meeting, and were objects OF universal
comment the whole evening as they
walked the porches arm-in-arm, ca
gerly conversing.
