Way down upon the Suwanee rib.
Der" big undertaking in drainage
engineering is about to begin, for the
reclamation of a large slice of the Oke.
hnokee swamp. Surveys and meas
urements have shown that the upner
portion of the stream famed for The
headquarters of "de old folks at homer
has so little fall that it will be neces-
sary to cut a deep and wide canal
through the swamp, beginning near
the head of the Suwanee and going in
a roundabout direction till it reaches n
point lower down the river where
there is some fall. The Okefnokee
swamp. which lies mostly in Southern
Georgia, but laps over considerably
into Northern Florida, is about $50
miles in circuit, and inhabited chiefly
by alllgatOrs, cranes and frogs. The
capitalists interested in reclaiminr
tins territory are said to have sufi.

The embezzlement of nearly $780,

Arms OF the House of Representatives
VIII work serious temporary embar-
assment probably to a considerable
number OF Congressman, though their
losses will doubtless be made good bv
adequate legislation later in the ses-
sion. There is no question that better
safeguards in paying the salaries of
congressman should be adopted. The
present system is so loose that it is a
cause for wonder that it has been al
lowed to prevail so long. Members Of
Congress rarely have a chance to leg
lslate on subject in which so many Of
them feel direct personal interest.

own escape. Bear cheerfully the ministry Of
tears, and exult at the thought that soon it is
to be ended.
There we shall march up the heavenly street,
And ground our arms at Jesus feet.

The agitation in the newspapers Of New
York for suggestions for grand central idea
for the Worlds fair Of 1892, with a reproduc-
ton Of the Eiifel tower idea clear out of the
question, has resulted in let Of chimerical
ideas that would seemingly have emanated
from Bedlam The suggestion that hole
1892 feet deep be dug, in which elevators
could be placed, was no doubt the sarcastic
effort of some one to get as far away as posi-
ble from the EifTel tower idea. But one sug-
gestion struck me not only practicable, but
in every way admirable and that was with
the results Of recent archaeological researches
in Arizona, New Mexico Old Mexico and
Yucatan in view, that an ancient Pueblo Of
the prehistoric American be constructed on a
large tract Of land surrounding a mammoth
ideal Toltec temple, to be constructed on an
iron framework Of cement in imitation Of
stone, and utilized as a grand archaeological
museum, embracing the relics Of Toltec, Az
tee, mound builder and the red man Of 200
years ago. Such an enterprise is feasible
and distinctively American. Interview in
