The silver men ridicule the idea OF such

not to make the attempt. Some of the
managers on that side, as has been shown
by their course in some of the States, are

attempt, as he supposed, to effect an en-
trance to the German church on Tenth
street at o'clock this morning.
He summoned officers, who hurried to
the church, where they captured the
burglars. The two men had effected an
entrance to the recess in the corner
stone of the church, from which they had
extracted the tin box containing the docu-
ments placed there when the cornerstone
was laid in 1882. One of the men had been
brickmason employed in the contraction
of the edifice and probably believed that
the box contained valuables.

Fate of the Canal of the Two Oceans.

Givors slipped by almost unnoticed:
a trim little town hung out to sun in
long strips upon terraces ascending
from the waterside: its walls and tiled
roofs rising above gardens, and so
making general effect of warm grays
and yellows dashed with vivid greens.
1t is Il town OF some commercial pre-
tensions. the gateway of canal
dozen miles long leading up through
the valley OF the little river Gier to
iron-wOrks and colle-wOrl1s and glass
works tucked away IN the hills. The
canal was projected almost century
and half ago as 4 connecting link be-
tween the Rhone and the Loire. and so
between the Atlantic and the Mediter-
ranean: wherefore the Canal of the
Two Oceans was. and I suppose con-
tinues to be, its high-sounding name.
But the revolution came. and the dig
ging never extended beyond that first
dozen miles: and so it came to pass that
the Canal of the Two Oceans. as such,
is q delusion. and that the golden flu
ture which once lay ahead of Givors
now lies a long way astern. Yet the
town has an easy and contented look:
as though it had saved enough from
the wreck of its magnificent destiny to
leave it still comfortably well to do

AMERICAN AGRICULTURE.
According to b. F. Clayton It Ii tt
Source of Our Wealth.

According to b. F. Clayton It Ii tho
Source of Our Wealth.
The civilized world stands amazed at
the vast accumuIations of the American
people, and the query from home and
abroad is from whence it came, and
what is its true source? We answer
that our success is due to two agencies,
both of which the American people pos
sess in the highest degree. namely
labor and its intelligent application to
the richest natural resources OF any
country. In the consideration of the
true source OF our national wealth we
must combine these two elements as
one and inseparable. Man must furnish.
labor and nature must furnish all the
material upon which labor is expended.
Our labor has always BEEN of the high
est type, from the fact that the pAople
OF the United States are the remote, If
not the direct, descendants of q repre-
sentative foreign element that had
learned to think for itself, and when de-
barred from acting for itself. to seek a
country of equal social and political
rights where it could plant the banner
OF the largest freedom and where it
could enjoy to the fullest extent the
fruits of its own labor.
Our population is made 10 OF an en-
ergetic class that is willing TO leave
the scenes of childhood, the home of
youth, the mother tongue and native
land to cast their fortunes with Il
strange people. The American citizen.
whether native or foreign born, is quick
to recognize the rights of all who would
come to our shores to better their con
dition and to throw around them all
the safeguards of protection in every
social and political right. From the
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers there
has been a healthful growth in the
spirit of freedom, morality, industry,
and economy. The environments that
surround the American citizen are an
tagonistic to royal eNclusiveness. They
regard labor as respectable and meas.
ure men by the standard of virtue and
personal worth.
The natural product of the soil, aided
b. intelligent Dor, is the great creative
force, the only source from which
wealth may be obtained to meet all OBJ
legations. The street car fare, interest
on bonds, dividends on stocks, the SOL
diers' pensions, the fees of the profess
sional, the dry goods and the grocery
bills. as well as the cost of conducting
ell the intricate machinery of the gov
eminent, must be paid by the revenues
from the soil.-North American Re.
