Congressional aspirants are busy in the
10Th District. Jacob Yost, Esq, of Staun-

candidate of the Democratic party the
chances seem in favor of Capt. James Bum

The Panama Canal,

If France is going to ''nationalize" the
Panama Canal and elevate it from private
enterprise into public work by the French
Republic, then and in that case Johnny
.Reb and the Boy in Blue should have some
thing to say, and should say it with civili-
ty, but in unmistakable English. Norfolk
Landmark.
If it is true that events cast their shadows
before them, that is the very thing France
intends to do. The policy which has been
pursued by our Government, as well as
the commercial interests of the country in
shaping that policy, have never reached the
point which Mr.. Clay, Gen. jackson, Mr..
Webster, Gen. Cass, Mr.. Fillmore, and 9th
er Statesmen desired it to attain, except
in the expression of sentiment. Schemes
have been maturing for years, and at length
have been put into execution. The prac-
tical action in directing their progress and
in constructing the work which should have
been the policy of our Government has new
or been taken. The French Government is
now behind the enterprise, and will, if not
interfered with, quietly complete it. In that
event, our Government will not be in the
best condition to make good all its decara-
tions, many of which are in the archives
touching this matter. Among the earliest,
after a thorough discussion of this great
question, is a report made in 1889 to the
House of Representatives from the Com
mittee on Roads and Canals, of which Chas.
Fenton Mercer, of Virginia, was chairman.
Here is the opening sentence, which may
be taken as representing the true position
of the country when the project was first
discussed. 1t is quite different from the
reality now, when the world is assured, by
the action Of a great foreign power, that
connecting waterway from sea to sea
will be built on the American continent.-
No matter what conditions, theoretically,
have been provided, there will be but little
to interfere, practically, with French SUI
premacy.
sit is obvious that if the contemplated
Communication from sea to sea be prac-
''ticable, the nation which has the right to
appropriate it's exclusive use to itself
''might lawfully control the richest COM
''merce of the world, or prescribe to all
''other nations the terms upon which they
may be admitted to share its enjoyment y

citation OF COlOrs and Numbers.
Professor r. S. Holden tia Sciemce.
In 1880, while / was in Washington, l
read Mr.. +. GaltoE's note on "Visualized
Numerals" in Nature. After / came to
Madison, probably late IN 1881 or early in
1882, mentioned my own entire inability
to visualize numerals, or anything else of
the kind, to a member of the University
faculty, Prof. .. l was interested to
learn that, when a boy, he had always
conceived the vowel sounds as having
color, and that he still retained some
traces Of this early habit.
- spoke of this subject at my dinner
table shortly after, and NV daughter
Mildred, then about 8 years old, said she
also had cOlors for the days Of the week as
follows: Monday, blue; Tuesday, pink:
Wednesday, brown or gray; Thursday,
brown or gray; Friday, white; Saturday,
pure white; Sunday, black. 1t was said
laugbingly, and at the time 1t passed to
my mind as q joke, that che wished in
sport to assume the idiOsyncrasies of elder
persons. A few days after l questioned
her on these cOl0rs, and she gave me the
same replies. 1t was again spoken of as
kind Of joke and a question of memory,
but | wrote the cOlOrs down in my memo
randum book for 1882. A year later
produced this, and again questioned
her, this time seriously, and found
her answers the same as at first.
Again, Aug. 8, 1885, her replies
were the same. The tenacity of a
child's memory is very remarkable. but l
was convinced this was not q case of
memory, and imagination, but a true phe-
nomenon of the kind referred to. ! there
fore went further, and asked her if there
were any other phenomena OF the same
kind she is now IL years, 6months DID, /
found that each OF the letters of the alpha
bet had color to her as follows: A,
white; U, yellow, cream color; d, dark
blue; f, red; f, black; &, green; II,
white; /; l, black; j, gray, brown: X,
gray; l., dark blue; NJ, n, brown, not
much color; ., yellow; p, green: Q, (?);
X, brown; 5, yellow; I, green; u, yell
low; V, white; W, brown; Y, Y, not
much color; 4, greenish.
The prevalence of yellow and green and
the scarcity OF reds and pinks are note
worthy. found she knew these colors
instantly, and when l asked for them in
| any order. What is more remark able she
can instantly name the brown letters in
group, the black ones, etc. Apparently
she does not require to pass the alphabet
IN review to decide this. The numbers
also have colors 10 her as follows: 1,
black; >, cream color; 3, blue; 4, brown !:
.. white; 3, crimson, pink; Z, Rreenish; 8,
white; 8, greenish (?); 10, brown; IL.
black; -, cream color; Is, blue; a.
brown; 10, whitehall is, IL has the same
color as I, II as ?, Is as 8, etc. These
colOrs are also named instantly, and in
any order in groups. No other member
OF my family has this idlosynorasy.
