Our Inland Waterways.

At present America has but 1856
miles of navigable rivers and canals,
yet the marvellous possibilities of Rus
sian inland navigation can in many
respects be eXcelled by those in Amer
lea. With an expenditure equal in
amount to the appropriation for pen.
sions by single congress (nearly
$3OO,OOoOOO for the two years., it has
been estimated that an inland coast
waterway could be made navigable foI
large steamers from Providence In.
let, Rhode Island, to Galveston, Tex,
and the Rio Grande, on the boundary
line between the United States and
Mexico. A natural waterway for al.
most the entire distance already ex.
lists. To perfect the route but com
paratively little work is necessary

LET me beg of you never to go to
literature in general and to the poets
in particular, solely to acquire what a
woman friend of mine calls 'culchah.'
In the schools, in those would-be lit
erary clubs, and especially the Brown
ing Clubs (thank God, they are nearly
dead) we have too much talk of soul
development, and soul-element.' This
sort of thing is no more the real study
Of literature than the dissecting of the
body is study of mankind This
would-be culture seems to take spe-
cial delight in making all poetry SYM
bolical. Now our English literature,
they tell us, is full of symbolism. To
save my life, | have never been able
to discover it. Even in Pilgrim s
Progress, ] forgot the allegory in the
presence of real men and women.
''To enjoy poetry at its true worth,
we must approach it with the spirit of
little children We must not only be-
lieve the wonderful: we must thrill,
no less, over the horrible. Indeed, do
not think it possible to be real lover
of poetry unless you have kept some
thing Of the old paganism and super
stition of our forefathers. This is why

stincts and emotions, and to nature as

Recessional Hymn. 1t is the Pharisee
over again.
Now. l must stick to the true char
acter of teacher and give a little
fatherly advice. As | look at you, |
feel that the trouble lies not in how
you shall seek your destiny, but rather
how you can possibly avoid it.
Don't be strong-minded, men don't
love strong minded women. Don't
think you have a destiny. BE simple
woman. / believe a man is what he
achieves. but a woman what she
dreams about. A woman's world is an
ideal one. l want you to preserve our
Southern ideal"

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. "a special
to the Plain Dealer from Erie, Pa.
says:
IN the midst o. one of the most Bit
ter gales that ever swept Lake Erie,
the iron ore barge Charles Foster,
in tow of the Iron Duke. went to the
bottom at o'clock this morning, five
miles off Erie, and eight persons were
drowned, as follows:
Captain John Bridge, of Cleveland.
First mate, name unknown.
Second mate, name unknown.
Seaman Robert Wood.
William Kelly, of Port Austin, Mich.
Cook Mrs. May, of Detroit
Two unknown deck-hands.
The Charles Foster was one of the
fleet of James Corrigan, of Cleveland
and for two months has been running
from Duluth to Erie, with iron ore
Her cargo consisted of 1900 tons of
ore.
Captain Ashley, of the Iron Duke,
made Erie in saftey. IN an interview
he said:
The Foster was in tow, about GOO
feet astern. I was up all night and
there were three men on watch with
me. The seas were rolling tremen-
dously from the northwest, and the
gale carried with it a binding snow
storm. We made the harbor light all
right. When we turned for the har-
NOR, sea much heavier than any other
experienced struck us. l ran to the
stern. Just as l got there the Foster
plunged in an awful sea and drove
down nose first. There was not a cry
from a soul of the crew of eight she
carried. Just as she pitched down. |
saw man on her forecastle with a
lantern. The tow line parted when
she went down. The storm was so
heags that I could NOT put about TO
hunt for any one. There would not
have been a particle Of use anyhow
ebcause in those tremendous seas no
one could have lived a minute, even
if the water had not been icy cold.
Had there been cry for help, would
have turned and risked my ship, but
it was no use. l had all | could do
TO make port in safety myself"
When asked for an opinion as to the
cause Of the sinking of the Foster. Cap
tain Ashley said that he could not
tell.
Apparently everything was all right
aboard her until she took that fatal dip.
There had not been a single signal of
distress from her up to that time"
There is from eighty to one hundred
feet Of water where the wreck occurred.
ind there is little hope OF ever being
able to locate the place. The Foster
was valued at $4,000, but there was no

PEKIN, Dec. 9.-All the foreign en-
yoys except Sir finest Mason Satow,
the British minister, have received
instructions from their governments
agreeing to the joint note, proposed
at the last meeting. Another meeting
Will proDaoiy be called for Tuesday
next Should the British minister have

viii be Immediately opened with Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang. who are in
daily touch with the court by the Chi
nese telegraph.
Prince Ching says Emperor Kwang
Su is ready TO return as sooE as
allow him to come under conditions
consonant with his dignity and safety.
The removal OF General Tung Flu
Hsiang from the command of the Chi
nese forces surrounding the court, is
considered by the foreign ENJOYS to
be a very important step as showing
the real desire of the government TO
come to terms. His Punishment in
dicates that the court recognizes the
expediency of obeying the demands
of the powers.
The international club was opened
to-day. its object being to bring to-
gether in a spirit of social harmony,
the officers and diplomats of the va
rious nations. There was a large COM
pany present and music was discours-
ed by military bands. II is expected
that the club will continue a great
success. The building was formerly
an imperial temple.
The ENJOYS are considering the ques-
ton of legation buildings in the flu
ture. At present none OF the govern
ments own its buildings, all the houses
being rented. The only ones not dam
aged considerably are the American,
British and Russian. IL is proposed
that all the legation buildings should
be concentrated slraia a square mile
west Of the Tartar city, that each
building should be surrounded by a
moat and drawbridges. having an in
ternational guard sufficient to protect
the legations against any repetition
of the recent attack. The o1ly other
buildings which it is proposed to allow
within the enclosure with the legations
and the necessary Offices would be the
foreign clubs.
