"No at lion whatever should be-
paid to Wiggins1s predictions, You
will remember that ho is the sems
man who, few years ago, predicted a
hurricane, floods, earthquakes, vol
eanic erNptions, wars, pestilepc s and
famine over the eartS, and that
they never came in response TO his
predictions. His predictions OF that
day were based, IS his pre- emit pre-
diotion is, on the conjunction OF the
principal planets. 1t proved to be alb.
su7d, and will prove TO be alb Iurd
now" But all the same, Koko Tuln

are philosophic enough to snap their

The self sufficient confidence with
which we talk OF what We will do to-
morrow, or next year, and how the
fame Of our achievements will be
handed down to future centuries, hiss
something absolutely absurd about il
when we consider our obliviousness
Of the origin and future Of the race to
which we belong, and our absolute
igro,ance tf what the globe is, around
which we creep as flies upon the dome
of ST. Peters. This ball goes on hur-
Iying through space, we know not
whittier. We know Of its motion
sraund the sun, but are in the dark IS
to the progress it makes, together with
the sun and its sister planets, through
spree. On we go at iDconcelvable
speed amid the vast expause. We do
not know that all space is alike, aud
tomorrow wo may enter wh6rs all will
BE- changed and mans whole destiny
assume new phase. We know no
more about the interior OF this globe
than we know OF the coming spaces
1t will travel through At the center
it may be more solid than the ada
mant, or it may be fire whose energy
surpasses all we have dreamed Cf hest
How possible, a. any moment, changes
OF the most astounding nature may
occur we can judge by the earthquake
that has just spread such wide con-
Bernation. All nature shows itself

and spires, domes, temples and edi-

currence is fitted to check our conf
dence in tomorrow, next year, and
future centuries. To those who see
no infinite consciousness in the uni
verse, the uncertainty OF where we

carries with it a hopeless gloom that
often disposes to suicide. To him
who sees goodness united with infinite

The Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1885-1886, 1886-01-20


ONE of the engineers who has been for
two years past engaged in the construc
ton of the Panama Canal-Rudolph Con-
courde by nsme-has recently arrived in
this country. He says that the canal will
never be flushed on account of the bad
management which has thus far CONTROL =
ed the whole undertaking. De Lesseps
himself has had very little to do with it.
and the work has been left in charge of
subOrdinates, who he says. are merely
squandering the capital of the company
to no purpose Over $l50,0O0,00O has
already been expended and this is more
than was collected, the directors having
speculated with the funds oil the company
in Europe IN the endeavor TO bring in
new capital while the woikmen were paid
in notes aud certificates. Only one-tenth
of the work has yet been completed, or
about four and half miles. One of the
drawbacks TO the prosecution of the en-
terprise Is the inability to obtain skilled
labor on account OF the extreme unhealth>
mess of ,he climate The death rate was
something terrible. and although the com
psny offered holiday of two months TO
any one who would work year steadily
and OF six months TO one who succeeded
10 weatheriug II out for two years no one
had yet been able to accomplish even
the shorter term. A an illustration
of the dangerous character Of the climate,
he stated that he was one morning 10 his
Office at ten o'clock with three other en-.
ployes, all OF whom were apparently in
good health. An hour later the three were
dead from yellow fever He sent 10 hi:
resignation the next DAY, determi ned 10
risk his life no longer The character Of
the methods which prevail in the carrying
on this enterprise NAV be inferred from
the fact that Washington man who OBJ
tanned contract for doing some OF the
dredging for the canal last winter ha:
been drawing handsome income from
this scource ever since, while it is very
doubtful it be knows what a dredging
machine is He has certainly done moth
ing towards carving out the contract
