sons of Different Nation-

Fhe Turk viii solemnly cross his
hands upon his breast and make
profound obeisance when he bids you
farewell.
The genial Jap will take his slipper
off as you depart and say, with
smile: You are going to leave my
despicable house in your honorable
journeying-I regard thee!''
The German ''lebe wohl' is not pat
ticularly sympathetic in it's sound, but
it is less embarrassing to those it
speeds than the Hindoo's performance,
who, when you go from him, falls in
the dust at your feet.
The Fiji islanders cross two red
feathers. The natives Of New Guinea
exchange chocolate. The Burmese
bend low and say: lib! Hib!"
The "auf wiedersehen' of the Aus.
TRANS is the most feeling expression
of farewell. ,e
The Cuban would consider his good
by anything but a cordial one unless
he was given a good cigar. The South
Sea islanders rattle each others whale
teeth necklace.
The Sioux and Blackfeet will at
parting dig their spears in the earth
as a sign of confidence and mutual es-
TEEN. This is the origin of the term
''burying the tomahawk."
In the islands in the straits of the
sound the natives at your going will
stoop down and clasp your foot.
The Russian form of parting saluta-
ton is brief. consisting of the single
word 'praschai,' said to sound like
sneeze. The Otaheite islander will
twist the end of THE departnaessssd|

Historical Sketch of Canal.

Probably no public work has ever been
undertaken by any other state or muntei-
pality which, from it's very inception, was
designed 20 do so much for the navigable
and commercial interests of the country
as the Chicago canal. The requirement OF
law which compelled the construction OF
rock sections to meet the demands of the
next generation was wise. fer it has laid
the foundation of a mammoth ship canal,
connecting the great lakes with the Missis-
sippi rive and the gulf and saving the
sanitary district of Chicago and the federal
government the great expense that would
in the future be necessary in rock eXcaNa-
ton and blasting under the flowing water.

means, the dust in this pipe took fire,
and the smoke not only came out at
the "dust house" but worked back and
came ont of the pipe in the betting
room where the blower was working.
The alarm brought our fire department
aud that of New Hope very promptly
to the scene. Ia the meantime, some
fire extlnguishers were brought into
use with good effect The Columbia
Hose got to work at once, and soon
the three steamers were ready for ser
vice, but they were not required further
than to flush out the dust pipe The
damage done was slight.

Jacob Helms, of this city, some
months ago bought of T. IL. Holeombe
the hill at the head of York street in
this city. To all appearances this hill
is composed of redshaIe stone. MS all
around ii there are steep walls of this
kind Of stone. Strangely, however, an
entirely different quality of stone has
been found inside of this redshsle en-
closure. On the top of the hill, on the
east side, VEINS of hard stone have
been found aud of two colors one of Il
rich brown color aud the other of a
greenish gray color. These stones
will make good eurbins stone: and
there are Indications that tagging

vein of copper ore can also be seon.

Excitement ran high on Saturday
down on Water street, when an italian
woman accused a neighbor of entering
her house and removing a hundred
hard dollars and some iewelry she
had put in an old bed Lick for safe
keeping. The Italian had preferred
charges of stealing against the neigh
Dor, the case being heard before
Squire Scarborough, who dismissed
the case, making the plaintiff pay the
costs, there being no evidence against
the accused.
