time Of war. Upon this point
quote from the report of the en-
gineer:
The inland waterway would afo.d
an interior line of communication IN
time of war for transportation of sup
plies and for naval operations by light
draft vessels, sucn as torpedo boats
and destroyerS. It's value for such puI :
poses can hardly &c estim ated, beiu :
similar to that of seaCoast fortihca-
tons, which are rarely actually need
ed, but when the need arises 1t is uloA I
acute.
This waterway would afford a
line OF communication with our
hayward at Portsmouth, Va ,
and With Fortress Monroe, and
oul Navy in Hampton Roads
The importance OF this PROPOSE :
ton has been recognized by en9l
neeIs who have reported upol
this matter in the past and b
other eminent men engaged l.,

The Proposed Inland Water way

himself heard, and we hope I'M
derstood. in the house On the pro
nosed Inland Waterway by the
improvement of our Sounds.
Evidently Mr.. Small knows what
he is talking about. There is
nothing visionary about the mat
ter. His statement of the case III
a very able speech delivered III
the House convinces one that
his suggestions are not reh-ote
possibilities but actual present
opportunities.
At the last session Of Congress
Mr.. Small int, oduced bill tor
the survey of this route Begin
ming at the Southern terminus
of the Dismal Swamp Canal
thence down the Pasquotank
River to Albemarle Sound aud
thence across Albermarle, Croa>
tan, Pamlico and Core Sounds,
with outlet to the ocean either
through Ocracake or Beaufort
Inlet.
The survey was made last
summer and fall. 1t appears
from the report that the distance
is 211H miles. The estimated
cost of the work to secure mean
depth of the Sounds OF Io feet
and of the Beaufort Inlet of IS
feet is only s5,532,893.
Referring to the matter in his
speech. Mr.. Small said
Il now ask the Il diligence of
the committee to further call at
tention to some of the facts
which go to make up and e1npha
size the importance of this in
land route. From a commercial
standpoint, its i'm portance can't
be magnihed One of the modern
innovations in water traffic has
been the construction of freight
bargeS, a number of which are
toWed by powerful tug and
which are capable of carving
immense quantities Of produce.
1t is to the further develops
ment of this class Of shipping
that this waterway would BE- par
ticularly valuable. The estimat-
ed value of the Coastwise com
1ne1ce to be Immediately affected
by this route has been Conserva~
lively fixed at 5000 900 900, and
the quality of traffic to be affect
ed is estimated to be at least 10,
90 900 tons.
This water route woul1 result

An Exasperating Witness.

Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, tells
the following good story of Il case in Il
Kentucky court.
A horse from livery stable died soon
after being returned, and the person who
hired it was sued for damages The ques-
ton turned largely upon the reputation Of
the defendant as hard rider
A witness was called-a long, lank sta
BILE boy.
How does the defendant usually
ride 2
',As,raddle, sir.
No, no, - said the lawyer. Il mean
does he usually walk or trot or gallop?'
'WeIl.' said ;he witness apparently
searching in the depth of his memory for
facts. when he rides a walkin horse, he
walks; when he rides trottin horse, he
trots; when he rides gallopin horse, he
gallops; when
The lawyer was now angry. Il want
to know at what pace the defendant usual
" goes-fast or slow ?'
''Well, said the witness ''when his
company rides fast he rides fast, and when
his company rides slow he rides slow.
CHOW, want to know, sir, the law
yer said, much exasperated, and by now
very stern. chow the defendant rides
when he is alone 2
