Mean?

Rev. DR.. Miner, in refuting a charge that
some of the Protestant educated men have
proved to be great defaulters, referred to the
case of Bishop Purcell of Cincinnati and to
that of vicar general of Boston, whose very
sudden death passed almost without notice.

THE OLDEST CANAL.

The Oldest canal in the country is the
Union Canal in Pennsylvania, which was
the first projected on the American conti-
nent. 1t was suggested by William Penn
in 1890, and its route surveyed seventy
years later, before there was a canal in
operation even in England. 1t is now to
be sold. The route of this canal was sur
veyed by David Rittenbouse, the astrono
mer, and DR.. VIM. Smith, provost of the
University of Pennsylvania, in 1859. 1t
extended from the Schuylkill river, near
Reading, to the Susquehanna, at the pres
sent site Of Middletown, Dauphin county.
IL was the first link in proposed chain
Of water communication between the Del
aware River and Lake Erie a project so
gigantic for that early day, when canals
and even turnpikes were unknown, that
the projectors were believed by the people
to be crazy. Rittenhouse planned system
OF inclined planes to overcome the Allie
ghany Mountains, plan which WAS
adopted seventy five years later by the
State in its old Portage Railroad. The
Revolutionary war interrupted work on
the pioneer canal, and in 1901 Robert
Morris, Robert Fulton aud Teneh Francis
became interested in it. The work was
tou idt III duNtuce ol tue times, however,
and it was not completed until 1927. The
canal is eighty nine miles in length, and
some of the greatest engineering work Of
that day was necessary in its construc.
ton. The first tunnel in the United
States was bored for this canal through
nearly 500 feet Of solid rock, and the sum
init of the canal being higher than it's
terminal feeder, pumping apparatus had
to be constructed to raise the water TO the
necessary height The canal cost S., 000
600. Railroad transportation having made
the ancient waterway Improbable, few
years ago it was abandoned, and it is now
offered for sale.

There is little game of bluff in pro
gress in Baltimore that illustrates the
principles of monopoly and boyeotting
in "high life" admirably, and which,
like many other sins committed in s'high
life, " is not looked upon as disapprov-
ingly as it would be il committed by the
common herd. A great telegraph cor
poration, which by virtue of ITS swallow
ing propensities has made itself su
premely great, has formerly rented on
the floor of the leading Exchange in
Baltimore space to carry on its business
Before the telegraph corporation became
supremely great this was considered a
privilege we'll worth paying for and that
roundly. On the other hand, il was not
only convenience to the members OF
the EXCHANGE to have this telegraph,
but an absolute necessity. Recently,
rental of the space for another year was
proposed but the telegraph corporation
Indignantly resented the proposal and
has moved out rather than submit.
There is nothing left but for tue Ex.
change people TO back down. Indeed,
the telegraph corporation might retaliate
on tho Exchange for past charges for
rental by making the latter pay for the
convenience. Such are the ups and
downs of life.
