Life on a canal.


lam always ready 20 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, az | was born and
reared upon the banks object TO its being
thus neglected Even the commonplace
has its lessons to teach. and l believe that
anybody who studies the canal with truly
sympathetic spirit may find its 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 hstless crews.
Existence here is indeed fat, stale and un-
profitable; the scenes and incidents which
give a charm to other modes of navigation
are almost entirely wanting. Nevertheless
the Erie canal has ali interest Of it's own,
not derived from commerce nor from the
squabbles about it in the legislature
Stand beside it on a summer day and watch
the dingy, slow moving boats pass, and
you may find in the prospect something
mournfully suggestive. The teams that
go shambiing 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
q 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
1T the rate of two miles an hour, from one
end of the canal to the other.-Boston Jour

What Know About Hardware and
City Finances.

Good credit is valuable asset for
an individual or firm, but strange and
anomalous as it may appear, for city
it is misfortune. A city, like fam.
lily, has many real and imaginary
wants right from the start, both fami-
lies and cities grow, but the expense
of the latter usually grows faster than
the income. School houses, hospitals,
city halls, sewers, paved streets etc.
follow each other in rapid succession.
Whatever a city buys or builds, gene
rally costs more than private people
pay for like services. Valuable fran.
chises seldom bring the city anything.

American Cattle That Stray Across ah.
Rorder onfiscated.

DEMINe, N. NJ. Sept complaints
reached here from Las Palomas, Mex.
immediately South, that the custom.
officials at that place are Selling large
numbers of American cattle which
stray across the line f.om day to day
Some weeks ago the Mexican govern
ment issued an order to the effect tina,
on and after q certain day all
foreign cattle found on Mexican soil
would be confiscated. The cattlemen
on this side of the line made strenuous
efforts to secure their stock and were
in a large degree successful At the
same time the loss sustained was con-
siderable, as the grazing in the vicinity
of Las palomas is the best within an
area of 100 mi,es, and the cattle had
gone there in large numbers 1t is
simply impossible to round them all up
The loss to the cattlemen in this Sec
ton by the action of the Mexican au
thorities will mount up into the thou
sands and is daily increasing.
