Life on a Canal.

am always ready to maintain that the
Erie canal has not received the recognition
which it deserves The murmuring streams
and stormy seas have never lacked their
Wordsworths and their Turner's, but poet
and painter alike have hitherto sighted
the Erie canal, and, as | was born and
reared upon the banks object to its being
thus neglected. Even the commonplace
has its lessons to teach, and | believe that
anybody who studies the canal with truly
sympathetic spirit may find it's very dreari
ness something almost grandly tragical.
Follow the canal from end to end and the
prospect is always the same-the dreary
banks, the sluggish, greenish tinged water,
the white boats and their listless crews.
Existence here is indeed fiat, stale and I'M
profitable: the scenes and incidents which
give charm to other modes of navigation
are almost entirely wanting. Nevertheless
the Erie canal has an interest of its own,
not derived from commerce nor from the
squabbles about it in the legislature.
Stand beside it on summer day and watch
the dingy, slow moving boats pass, and
you may find in the prospect something
mournfully suggestive. The teams that
go stumbling by are made up of sad faced
mules or of broken down horses who have
seen better days once, but who are now
shattered wrecks, fit only for the towpath.
And the drivers who follow them are
wrecks perhaps as truly as the horses
sullen, hard featured men, who tramp
along in stolid silence on journey which
never ends. The faces of the women, who
live on the boats and practice their house
keeping in the cramped little cabins, wear
dull and hopeless expression which years
of this monotonous existence have stamped
there. Truly it is not very cheerful or
profitable life. There is little in it to graf
ify any longings for culture and enlighten,
ment, drifting forever between these banks
at the rate of two miles an hour, from one
end of the canal to the other.-Boston Jour

AID all the Mays Must Again Come
Under the Wire.
The county commissioners are all
mixed up and are in a quandary over
the letting of the contract for build
ing the Bexar county court house.
They have been so for days; in fact
ever since their green covered table,
over which they preside regularly
with great wisdom and foresight, has
been loaded down with all kinds OF
specimens of stones from all parts
of the country and by all
sorts of bidders, local and foreign
The specifications called for different
kinds of stone and were rather in.
tricate, to begin with. The contrac
tors all bid accordingly, and each bid
was very complicated. In the Ian
guage of Commissioner Boerner, "all
OF them were the lowest bidders"
In consequence of this muddled
state of affairs, it has been decided by
rhe court to throw out all the bids
then select the kind of building stons
wanted, and let all the bidders again
put in bids for the contract. This &C.
tion will be taken today at the after.
noon session.
In regard to the manner in which
the new comfy court house is to bs
built it has been decided upon. The
interior is to be built of brick, and the
outside of limestone, sandstone and
granite

Royal Presents of Tea.

Tea was highly esteemed in nearly every
ancient Asiatic city near the sea and was
used as a royal gift from the Chinese mon.
archs and great merchants to the poteu
tates of the east. To the rajahs of Handy,
the sultans of Ceylon, the shoguns and dai-
mics of Japan carefully selected samples
of the leaves, packed in precious boxes,
were sent with great regularity. Some
must have been presents worthy of Il
crown. One of them was thus recorded
1T weighed forty catties-about fifty
pounds-and each leaf was perfect in color
size and age. The leaves weresdivided into
parcels of five maces each Ia little over halt
an ounce and each parcel was wrapped in
pure silver foil. This was wrapped in turn
in thin white paper and put into little
bag of bright colored silk. A hundred
bags were placed into porcelain jar whose
lid was securely fastened and sealed. and
each jar was protected by a box of cimphoi
wood trimmed with silver hinges and or
naments. In the list of princes to whom
these presents were made are many whose
identity would be otherwise lost to histo
ry."-Philadelphia Times.

Few Old Sailing Vessels.

From a table in the reports respecting
casualties to ships, which shows the ages
of vessels, it is surprising to find how very
ancient many of the craft still doing serv
ice really are. Thirty-nine sailing vessels
are between 80 and 60 years old, eighteen
are between 60 and 20 years. thirty are be
tween 20 and 100 and six are actually above
a century old.
While these numbers represent only a
small proportion of such ancient mariners
still sailing the wintry SEAS" it must not
be thought they refer only to barges or
craft engaged in river or inland naviga
ton.
The Juno OF Beaumaris, built LOG years
ago, met with her mishap while on coast
ing voyage, and the Endeavor, Plymouth
a still older craft, in seeking to act up tc
her name, came to grief while on voyage
from Dunkirk
What is more surprising still, the same
casualty list contains the names of two
steamships, one above sixty years and the
other above ninety years old.
On consideration, however, it is obvious
that these vessels must have originally
been built as sailing vessels, as the period.
named carry us much farther back thar
the date at which the Sirius made Ler fla
nous voyage across the Atlantic.
With regard to the ancient sailing YES
sells, too, they must have little or nothing
of the original structure left. AS long a
there is one single plank left, however, tn
vessel retains her identty.-St Louis Me
