BUILDING THE CANAL.
Obj sct!ous to ths Enterprise Are Pusriis
nud Vrntsnabis.


From the San Francisco CALL
The short session will not have been in vain
ii IL passes the Nicaragua canal bill. And, at
the present moment, the chances are that the
measure will become law Con gross has
evidently come to the conclusion that any ar.
guments against the bill are outweghed by
the palpable advantages which would follow
from the construction of the canal; like SEN
sible politicians they are preparing to vote for
the m easure
That the canal will be built If the bill passes
is as certain as any future event can be. Sem
ator Turpe shows his unfamiliarity with
fiannce when he says that the bonds would
not sell They would be grabbed on by every
house in Europe. AS to the cost OF the enter
prise, IL is in its favor that since the Suez canal
WAS built improvements have been made in
mechanical engineering which enable dollar
to 60 as far as two dollars went 30 years ago;
as has been demonstrated by the work on the
Amsterdam canal, and the canal from Liver.
pool to Manchester. There is surplus OF
labor all over the world, and with ready
money the directors of the enterprise can carry
it to completion in less time than the engineers
estimated.
An objection which has been raised is that
the occupancy and defense of the canal will
likely lead to the absolute annexation of por
ton OF Central America. 1t will be time
enough to cross that stream when we get to it,
The treaty with Nicaragua does indeed provide
for a dual sovereignty over the canal and its
banks. But the territorial rights OF Nicaragua
are respected and no occasion for the exercise
of authority therein could arise except in the
case OF some international emergency. As for
any danger OF European Intervention, that
will depend upon the action OF our govern
ment II it takes hold OF the enterprise with

jectors as Turpie, but go ahead with the pro-
ject.

pOint-Other Matters.

There is an old saying that it takes three
generations to make Il gentleman or lady, but
if some of my readers could set for couple
of hours in some first class hotel dining
room, or in Delmonico's, the most fashionable
and famous place in America, where only
people who are considered by the outside
world, to be real gentlemen and ladies, go,
they would imagine that it would take eight
or ten generations to make the majority
of the guests, at least eat like gentlemen and
ladies. And there is no place in the world
where persons breeding is so quickly shown
as at the table. The majority of people are
not adopts in the art of eating, and nine peo-
pie out of ten could not properly order meal
if their lives depended upon it. If the aver
age parent would teach children from baby
hood up table etiquette as they teach them
how to eat, much embarrassment might be
saved them in after life Good manners and
politeness cost nothing save little care and
observation. And true refinement is always
an open sesame to refined friends and kindly
treatment.

mig Herds OF Reindeer.

Some time ago the Government sent tG
Norway and Lapland, to get reindeer, and
to import them into Alaska, where they could
live on the mountains, and furnish support
to the poor Indians who are in bad straits.
With these reindeer there will be hides to
make tents OF, meat to live on milk and
cheese and butter to protect them from
famine. The horns will furnish handles for
their knives, and points for their spears and
arrows, beads and ornaments, and a great
number of household articles, and imple-
ments of USE Then if the Indians get rein
deer, they can ride in sledSes ON their hunt
ing trips, and will be induced to settle down
in small villages, where they can gather the
herd about them, and they will be induced to
become more domestic, like the Eskimo and
Lapps. But the Government need not have
gone so far to get reindeer, there are millions
of them in British America. Last year, May
1888, two young men, brothers, named Joseph
and James Tyrrell, made an exploration in a
territory west of Hudson's Bay, where no
white man had ever been. They found a
large river, 800 miles long, and sixteen lakes,
the smallest being fifty miles across. They
found vast treeess plain hundreds of miles
across, covered with short grass, with big
rocks sticking up through its surface. Here
and there as they left one of the lakes, about
half way down the length of the river, as
they had not met with any animals, they were
startled to see, at a distance, on the borders
OF the lake, host of moving objects. AS
they came closer, they discovered that it was
large heard of reindeer, which had PROBABLY
come done to the lake to drink. Landing, the
explorers passed among them with surprise
at their tameness. The poor brutes had never
seen human being, and were not afraid of
them when the men went among them. They
were almost as tame as COWS, and the explorers
could pass through the herds within fifteen
feet OF many of them. There were hundreds
OF thousands of these fine animals. The men
got up On small hill, and as far as they
could see, beheld this great herd extending
They saw them gathered in groups of several

About the Worlds Big Diamonds.

We know that Venice is a city without
streets, without houses, except four or five
bronze ones without carriages. without
trees, except in one garden, and without
wooden houses. But there is acity still
more peculiar than Venice. 1t is in Mon.
golia, close to the borders of Russian
Siberia, and is named Maiwatchin, and it is
the only city in the world peopled by men
only The Chinese women are not only for
hidden to leave this territory but even to pass
the great wall of Kalkan, and enter into Mon
golia. All the Chinese of this border city.
are exclusively traders, and they accumulate
mone7 till their trading with Europe, through
Siberia, has created a sufficient fortune to
enable them to return to their native cities
and live there in ease with their families.
Their dwellings indicate their prosperity
They are separated from the street by clay
wall, rather ugly it is true, but surrounding
generally very elegant looking house, before
which are gambollng those sleek looking,
plump cues, with unusually big eyes, such as
are pretty faithfully represented on Chinese
vases and screens. The main part of the
houses of Maiwatchin, is divided into two
compartments, and that which is behind is
IdISeu FIRES are kept up under Cn1S great
platform, which is covered with mats that
serve as seats by day, and beds by night.
Opposite the door, niche is generally seen,
where the domestic idols, unaccustomed to
attitudinize to profane eyes, repose behind an
ornamented blind. The walls of the recep-
ton room, are lacquered in red or black and
sometimes covered with figured silk, accord
ing to the wealth and taste of the owner. The
apartment overlooking the court, is generally
OF light wood, perforated and carved, and
over these openings, colored paper is
stretched, producing something of the grace
full effect of stained glass. The idol temples
are gorgeous buildings. 1t seems strange
indeed to go through the streets of this city,
and enter the houses, and nowhere to meet
women, nor hear woman's voice. What
lonesome time these men must have, shut in
together-no home in the real sense of the
word, no babies, no toys, no household
chatter. 1t is well indeed that there is only
one city in the world where there are NJ
women
