1t certainly 10 huge undertaking to
build a canal with twenty-eight feet Of
water, 100 feet wide at the surface,
through mountains which rise TO the
height of 1922 feet, as admitted. This
canal has to be built four miles out at
sea, in the harbor ut Panama. When
the Panama railroad was built by the
Aspinwalls, they had the greatest
trouble to get human labor which could
live through the work. Col. Lloyd AS
pinwall told me several years ago that
his father started with Irishmen, and
they died so fast that he became alarmed,
and then tried negroes and Chinese.
They also yielded to the climate. They
returned again to the Irish race, and
finally succeeded in laying the railroad
after an incredible amount of exertion
and sacrifice.
Not more than One-seventh Of the
canal has been excavated, aud some
$73, 600, 900 has been spent, of which only
500, 000,00 were put upon the canal
proper, the charges upon the company
at home and the probable extravaganza
of its projectors amounting to great
sum of money. 1t seems tina: S23, 0OO, 900
were spent in merely cutting of the
wood and taking out stumps on the ca
nal line. French people have put, Of
their earnings. into this enterprise the
extraordinary amount of $l20, 900, 900,
and the canal will probably cost at least
5000, ZOO, 900. The company is already
anticipating the need of money, and is
about to borrow $4,000, 900.
Everybody must desire to see this
great enterprise put through, and if it
is feasible the French will derive their
chief glory on this continent from the
event. The Suez canal was a compare
lively easy job, and it has already
changed the commercial routes and con-
ditions of the world. But there had
been at least two canals across the 18TH
mus of SueZ before the French built the
present one. Nature strained her sides
to make an isthmus like that of Darien
or Panama, but left to man the most
herculean job he has ever yet set at.
The building of the Chinese wall was
merely matter of absolute government,
operating upon an extraordinary num-
Der of subjects, whose task was as simple
as house. building. The principal rail-
roads of the world have had but pigmy
tasks to do compared to the inter oceanic
sluice.
1t is true that the Alps have been
pierced two or three times for railroads,
but the amount of cubic feet required
to be removed for a mere hole Of the
size of passenger train is insignificant
compared to removing the hills them
selves, which, starting a. twenty feet,
soon rise 10 forty feet, and then reach
10 feet. For about forty miles they
run through hills of that height, and
then proceed to take away hills more
than three-fifths Of the height of Wash
ington monument.

He Had Experience.

The municipal census-taker was
around taking names, and pulled the
bell at Bliffstick's and Bliff came to the
door. He was put through the usual
formula, and finally the censuser asked
the age of his wife.
Cant tell" responded the husband.
Cant tell ?" echoed the questioner,
"Why Don't you know?"
"Of course do.'
"Then you must tell me. The law
says you must"
"The law? What law?"
"The law of the State"
"What will they do with me if don't
tell?"
"Put you in Jail for contempt"
"All right, put me in Jail"
"Why, man," exclaimed the aston.
ished official, "you won't go to Jail and
suffer rather than tell your wi fe's age,
will your"
"Well, yes" he said resignedly
"I've never been to Jail, and on one oc-
casion i did tell my wife's age"

While Judge Walton was at work in
his chamber at Portland one day many
years ago drawing an opening in 4
knotty case a certain lawyer, came
in. This lawyer Che is now deceased),
was thin, tooth-pickish, dudish sort of
man, whom the judge did not like very
well, and than whom he had rather
seen Daniel Pratt himself walking into
his chamber.
"Well, Brother Ligttwood, what can
l do for You this morning?" hoping to
get rid of the fellow.
Nothing" he replied; 81 only
came in to make you a call"
After disagreeable silence the judge
looked up again and asked:
"Brother Lightweight, why don't you
get married?"
because l can't afford it. How
much do you suppose it costs me to live
now?"
The judge said he wouldn't guess.
"Well, it costs me $4,000 a year for
just my own living.
An expression of surprise came on
the judges face. "Lightweight,' u
added he, 81 wouldn't pay it. 1t is
not worth it!'

close any such offensive features as Mr..
Grain points out. II particularly rccog-
nizes the Southern system Of keeping
white and colored schools separate. The
language is plain and unequlyocal, and no
one can misunderstood. 1t provides that
din each state and territory, and in
the District Of Columbia, In which
there shall be separate schools for
white aud colored children, the money re-
ceived in such state or territory, and in
the District Of Columbia, shall be appor.
toned and paid out for the support Of
such white and colored schools, respect
lively, in the proportion that the white
and colored children between the ages OF
ten years and twenty-one years, both In
elusive, in such state or territory, and In
the District Of Columbia, bear to each
other.n 1t further recites that ono
money shall be paid out under this act TO
any state or territory that shall not
have provided by law system of free
common schools for all Of its children OF
school age, without distinction Of race or
color" "provided that separate schools
for white and colored children shall not
be considered violation Of this con
di.ion,"
As to.the objection that the secretary
Of the interior may compel Southern
children to study offensive histories, the
following quotation shows that it is not
well founded; "That the instruction in
the common schools, wherein these mon
eys shall be expended, shall include the
art Of reading, writing and speaking the
English language, arithmetic, geography
and history OF the United States and such
other branches Of useful knowledge as
may be taught under the local laws"
We do not find anything in these quoted
extracts from the bill sustaining Mr..
Grains assertion that II will break down
the barrier between white and colored
schools, and that under its authority the
secretary OF the interior may choose the
text books to be taught in the schools.
AS these were the only features about the
bill generally obnoxious, the people Of
the South will not oppose it If no
stronger objections can be found.
