THE PANAMA CANAL.

DIR. Arthur Gore returned recently
from trip through the United States
of Columbia. Referring to the Pana-
ma canal, he says that since the failure
of the company to receive new loan
a spirit Of decentralization seems to
have settled down upon the whole en-
terprise. Nothing ofany consequence
is being accomplished at present.
Workmen are being discharged right
and left, and auction sales of mules,
carts, and other property are of fire.
quenI occurrence. IT is said the sub
director-general intends to move his
headquarters to Colon, and that the
Grand Hotel, built by the canal COM
pany, is to be sold. Nearly all the
merchants of Panama hold "canal
paper" as it is called. and the large
owners are feeling very blue over the
prospects in store for the enterprise.
DIR. Gore is satisfied that the whole
proceeding has been worked by egreg-
iOus frauds from the beginning, and
for the Sl2O, 0O0, 900 already expended
there is nothinglto show in the way of
a canal but superficial scratch i'm the
mass Of volcanic rock through which
II was proposed to cut a passage.
Large sums of money have been spent
in the construction OF residences for
officers, houses for workmen, hospitals,
shops, tool houses, ETC., nearly all of
which were built by contractors who
have bled the country most unmerci-
fully. Some very handsome buildings
and grounds now mark the line of the
canal at various points where 1t was
thought best to begin operations.
Gazing on these palpable evidences of
extravagance. the French residents
remark: "C'est magnifique, mails ce
nest pas lie canal" [it is magnificent.
but 1t is not the canal. The survey
ors' stakes were supplied under con-
tract at S25 apiece, snd all the other
preliminary arrangements have been
made on a scale and at cost that
would bankrupt a company with any
thing less than the wealth Of Ormus
and of Ind" at its back.-New York

1T APPEARS that the Democratic
senators aud representatives are en-
titled to quite as much responsibility
for the refusal of the President to fun
nish the papers in the cases of sus-
pended Republican officials, as the
President himself. Congressman have
been requested to furnish charges
against the officers they desired to
have removed. and in doing so they
have lent themselves to a aystem of
misrepresentation and falsehood which
they are 10th to have brought to light.
Hence they have appealed to the
President In the most piteous terms to
spare them the pain and humiliation
of exposure. The President, In order
TO bring about changes consistently
with his promises, has winked at this
peculiar system, and the White House
and the Capitol are alike implicated.
Hence the policy of suppression.
There is no probability Of any change
in the Presidents conclusion. There
is too much at stake.

Q. the natives of the Congo country is
difficult TO acquire. and that he knows
o: only one European who has mastered
il sufficiently to understand it, though
lie can speak very little. 1t appears to
be composed OF shor: words, which, in
the rapid manner of speaking, seem to
be run together, and each sentence to
consist Of longer or shorter compound
word. 1t is capable of strong emphasis,
and Is quite expressive. but the natives
are no. given 20 gesticulatlon even
when talking excitedly, excepting
always the feticharo or fetch man when
dealing out damnation to transgressors.
The trouble in acquiring the language
seems to be the general unwilIlngness
of the natives to teach it to white men.
1t is said, however, that some of the
Portuguese who are born and raised
there have acquired the language, and
speak il as fluently as natives.

THE large amount of feed that can
be grown on an acre in turnips makes
this very exhaustive crop. The sue
ceeding crops will show this plainly.
and unless turnips can be marketed
cheaply il is hardly worth while to
attempt growing them on large scale.
English farmers make turnips a reno
waiting crop, but they do it by feeding
sheep on the turnip patch and giving
other rich food IN addition.

SHEET PAsTURES.-Some OF the dis
appointments and failures in keeping
sheep, are due 10 the prevailing, but
mistaken idea. that sheep eau live and
do well without good food. Turn
them into waste field, and let them eat
the briers and thorns and weeds" Is
Ihe frequent advice Of writers who
never kept 4 sheep. One might rs well
say that countryman might do well in
city, by living off the garbage barrels
Rnd heaps in waste places. IT IS all
very well for farmer to turB 4 few
sheep into a rough neglected field, and
let them trim down the brieTS and
weeds, if he will then provide them
with sufficient good food. In this way
the folding of sheep upon an old field
may be turned TO good account. But
for regular business, one can not hope
TO raise sheep in this way. a good
pasture, roots fos wiuter feeding, well.
made clover hay, and good careful
attention and management, are essen
tlal TO success. Sheep are fond of a
variety OF food-briars and weeds, and
such things. But confined TO that diet,
they run down fast. They thrive on
substantial food.
