The Central American Republic ~ N u

The country for the most part, owing
to the inequalities of its surface, pre-
sents to the eye magifcent and beauti-
full panoramas. Here are steep mount

and further on broad plateaus, the in

The forests of Colombia abound In
trees which are used for building pur.
poses, for dyeing and for cabinet-work;
and balsamic plants and gums, medici-
nal and otherwise useful to man. are no
less abundant. In the exhibition OF
natural products which took place in
the capital of the republic in 1870 there
were more than seven hundred kinds Of
the aforementioned woods.
The country also abOunds in rich
mines of gold and silver, in iron, copper,
lead. emeralds, amethysts, rubies, rock
crystal, marble, pOrphyry, jasper, jet,
salt, coal, sulphur, lime. gypsum and
other mineral products. On the coast,
especially on the coasts Of the Isthmus
OF Panama and Of the Bay Of Rio Hacha,
are found pearls and coral. NOtwith-
standing the abundance 0f these natur-
al riches, however, tho development
of the material resources of the country
has been hitherto almost completely
neglected, and it may be affirmed that,
with the exception of Ecuador and BO-
livia. Colombia, of all the political di-
visions Of Spanish America. supplies the
smallest contingent to the trafYic Of tho
world. Various causes have contributed
to produce SO deplorable . state Of hack
wardness; continual political dissen-
sions, and the revolutions that have
been their result, without either party
having found it possible thus far to solve
satisfactorily the problem Of combining
order and liberty, and thus bestowing
on the country the blessing Of . pros

AN IMMENSE BRIDGE.


E0Rb0OO anu fr00ces
A most remarkable engineering pro-
ject was suggested at the recent meet
ing of the Iron and Steel Institute in
Paris. This is nothing less than the
erection of . great bridge between
France and England from Cape Grisnez
to FOlkestone. An idea of what is in
vOlved in this undertaking may be
gathered from some estimates prepared
by tho proposers of the project.
The length of the bridge would be
shirty-two miles. The number Of piers
l2O, tie headway for ships $50 feet, and
the height from the foundation to the
top of the structure 600 feet. 1t is pro-
posed to build the bridge entirely Of
steel. To do this 1000. 900 tons of steel
would be required, and the cost of the
bridge, it is estimated, would amount to
about sl75, ,OOO, 900.
The project would have attracted less
attention than it has but for the fact
that it was suggested by NJ. Schneider,
Q leading French ironmaster, and NJ.
Hersent, . very eminent engineer OF
that country, and indorsed by Sir John
Fowler and Mr.. Baker, chief engineers
of the Forth bridge. The examination
Of the project by these authorities has
convinced them that it involves no diffi.
culties which can not be overcome by
engineering skin.
The scheme is regarded in a rather
critical spirit by English professional
and trade journals. The fact that such
. proposition should be made at thia
time bears witness to the very consider
able development Of tie modern ten
dency to increase intcr-f communication.
The building Of permanent means OF
communication between the two nations
which were so long period rivals and
enemies would be notable thing ip
deed.-Londou Letter.

A RumOr Concerning the United States
Judgeship.

A rumor has been in circulation.
the past three days, to the effect that
Lytteton Price had been nominated
United States Judge for the circuit
about to be organized, aud which is
to be composed Of Idaho, Montana, a
part of Washington and, possibly, of
South Dakota The rumor was
founded III fact. Last Monday DIS
patch was received here stating that
the President IVES about to send Mr..
Prices name to the Senate, for the
jndgeship above referred to. For two
days thereafter Mr.. Prices ennemies
fairly kept the wires hot between
Idaho and Washington, with dis.
patches protesting against the appoint.
ment, and some 20 odd such dispatches
we're sent before there was any let>up.
Whether or no these will have the
desired effect remains to be seen.
But whatever the outcome they have
evidently had some effect, as Mr..
Prices nomination has not been re-
ported.
