The reports which reach this country
respecting the progress that is being made
on the Panama canal are not encouraging.
No American engineer who.has examined
the work lately believes that it will be
completed by 1889, as promised, and some
have doubts whether it will be completed
this century.
NJ. de Lesseps is calling for more money,
and even il his present call is responded
TO there is every probability that he will
have to call for more. The extravaganza
and wastefulness thAt are everywhere to
be witnessed along the line ofthe canal are
so great as TO almost justify the question
whether the savings of the French people
are sufficient to complete the great
work if the present management is re-
tanned in control. Millions of dollars have
been thrown away in the purchase of I'M
needed and, hence, unused materials, and
in making excavations which had to be
made over again because in the first in
stance the material was not removed far
enough away to prevent it from being
washed back into the canal by the fire.
quent heavy rains.
1t seems that about every contractor
who went to the Isthmus expected to
make great deal of money in a very
short time. Whether the contractors
have realized their expectations or not is
a matter of conjecture, but it is certain
that they have been paid very large sums
for doing very little work.
Within the last few months attempts

success, to reduce expenses without re-
tarding the work. The difficulty that is
now experienced in securing money

The Fish Baft Question,

1t seems that only the more eXcitaole
of the mackerel fishermen want to 90 to
war with Canada for the right to buy bait
on the Nova Scotian coast. The belief is
now becoming very general among them
that the seizure Of the Adams was due
principally to her Captains carelessness,
and that rather than being an outrage to
call tor Indignation and counter demon
strations it may be regarded as an incl
dent that may lead to a revision of and
great Improvement in our treaty relations
with the Dominion.
1t is asserted that few American isher-
men are even temporarily deprived Of
bait, and that plentiful supply can be
secured without any inconvenience worth
noting. The fact is the Nova Scotia
fishermen are as anxious to sell bait as
the New England fishermen are to buy,
and there IS no trouble now in carrying
on the traffic on the high seas outside the
three-mile limit, where there are no
Canadian cruisers to modest or make
them afraid. Hundreds Of people on the
Nova ScOtian and Cape Breton coast de-
pend on the catching and selling of bait
for their living, and the restrictions of
the old treaty really cause more hard
ships among them than injury to the New
England fishermen. Some of the fisher
men claim that they have no trouble in
evading the cruisers and buying bait in
the fishing villages where the people are
in sympathy with them, while others get
bait at the Canso and Fox islands, and
even at Cape Cod.
1t cannot be doubted that the question
Will soon be settled by tine governments
TO the satisfaction of all persons con-
cerned. 1t is believed that nearly all the
furry created by the seizure of the Ameri-
can schooDers has been the work OF po-
litical demagogues. The shrewd fisher
men appear not to have been slow in per-
ceiVing that such was the case, and have
taken very common sense view OF the
matter. Outside of little clever banter
ing there has been no disposition mani
tested to provoke further complications,
and whether the Canadian view of the
question is the correct or not, there is no
occasion for any one to get excited and
loose his self-possession.

A Political Parrot.
From the Pan Nan Gasette.

EVpW ttc uc@ IiAtt Ou1cttcs
A well-known centenarian has just died in
Paris. His name was Lenoir, and he was l03
years old Lenolr was parrot, and parrot
gifted with really remarkable talent, 1t was
born in the reign of Louis Seize. and has con-
sequently witnessed the rise and fall of a
large number OF governments. 1t has never

havingbee handed down by will to the diff

less than ten different families, and its pollti.

mixed. Lenor was a capital talker, and
knew number OF phrases, which it often
brought out very mai a DroD0s. Since the
reign of Charles X. there was a good deal OF
difficulty in getting the bird to learn anything
new. However, servant with Radical SYM
pathies taught him in few weeks to say;

with "a has Robespierre" which it had been
accustomed to say during the Reign of Terror.
The last words OF this remark able bird were,
it appears. "Grace pour Marie Antoinette."

stances, how Lenoir succeeded in escaping the
guillOtine.

Image Breaking i'm ChiIdhood.

FROM the Cincinnati Times Star.
One Of my little girl friends had a rude
shock last Christmas-a shock 80 terrible that
it has almost shaken her faith in the fact that
there is man in the moon or that lack Frost
draws pictures on the windows and brings
the SHOWS. Like all other little girls she had
been brought mp to believe in the kindly gen.
eFOslty Of that mysterious, large hearted phi
lanthropist. Santa Claus. AS the time for his
coming approached last year she began to be
very curious about him. She asked so many
childish questions that, finally, her mother
told her there was no Santa Claus-that he
was only invented to please little boys and
girls.
The little darling burst into tears. 1t was
a terrible eVelatiOn-almost as bad as telling
her that all her friends and relatives had been
killed. The poor little thing cried as if her
heart would break. She was not accustomed
to have her idols so ruthlessly destroyed with
an iconoclastic hand. Finally she said,
through her sobs:
mamma, and is Dodd, too, only made to
please the little girls and boys?"
The mother is very careful interfering with
the little ones beliefs.

Mortal or Immortal.
Erntll thA In, nntn Yaak


II thou art base and earthly. then despair,
Thou art but mortal as the brute that falls.
Birds weave their nests, the lion finds lair,
Man builds his halls:
These are but coverts from earth's war and
storm,
Homes where our lesser lives take shape and
breath,
But, If no heavenly man has grown, what form
Clothes thee at death?
And when thy need of penalty is DER,
And fire has burnt the drOss, where gold Is
none,
Shall separate life, but wasted heretofore,
Still linger on?
God fills all space; whatever doth offend.
From His unbounded presence shall be
spurned,
Or deem'st thou He should garner tares
whose end
Is TO be burned?
If thou wouldst see the Power that round
thee sways,
In whom all motions, thought and life are
cast.
Know that the pure, who travel heavenward
ways,
See God at last
