THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Prince Louis Napolean's Interest in It-He
Wanted to Check the Power Of the United
States. and Promised to Return TO Prison
if Allowed to Engage in the Enterprise.

Mrs. Sara Y. Stevenson in the July Cen
| tury recalls the details of the scheme to
have Louis Napoleon then Prince take
charge Of the building of 4 transisthmian
| canal The Prince, who was then a pris-
oner in the fortress of Ham for his at
tempt on the throne of Louis Philippe,
even promised, if he should be released for
this purpose, to return IT, prison after its
execution. Speaking of the year 1916,
Mrs. Stevenson says:
In his work lie CANA de Nicaragua"
published about this time, he reviewed the
five parts of the isthmus which in dis opin-
ion offered possibilities for a transisthmian
canal: Tehuantepec, Nicaragua, Panama.
and two lines across the FSthmus of Dar-
len. Like the French political economist
VI. Michael Chevalier, he dismissed oJhand
the first one and the last two as expensive
or otherwise unfayorabic. and he strongly
inclined toward Nicaragua as superior to
Panama in natural wealth, healthfulness,
and availability.
most important part. of his scheme
was the creating of Il prosperous Central
American State capable Of holding its own
against the growing influence of the great
Northern power, the rapid Development Of
which was even then giving anxiety to
European statesmen.
European powers. he wrote, must be
pleased to see Nicaragua take high rank
among States. England itself could not
fail to look with approval upon the ere
alton of considerable power which. by
supporting Mexico, might be able to check
new cncFoachments from the North.
Owing to their geographical situation,
be regarded Leon or Masaya as calculated
to become q modern Carthage or 4 West
crn COnstantineple, that is, a central point
in the Western commercial world
In the mind of Prince Louis Napoleon,
even at this early date, the proposed plan
was not merely Il simple time-saving cut
across the isthmus for the purpose of IA
cilitating Europe's intercourse with Asia
and Australia: it must, above all, make of
Central America a strong maritime State,
prosperous through the development of its
own resources and through the creation Of
great emporium. This prosperity was to
be fostered by means of colonization. Part
of his plan was to attract European
population interested in the success of the
venture. He suggested offering to each
Immigrant stakeholder 90 acres of arable
land, to be purchased by him at a nominal
price. Ten years We're to be allowed him
in which to pay for his holding, as well as
for such advances as might be made by
the company for tools and the preliminary
expenses necessary to enable the colonist
to make a start.
The Prince advocated San Juan de Mica
ragua, on the Gulf of Mexico, and Realejo,
on the Pacific coast, as the terminal of the
canal, claiming that no other points of the
coast could in any respect be found to
compare with these The cost of such a
waterway, capable of floating vessels of
! 200 tons, he then estimated at 100 00O,-
COO francs.

Death of Mrs. Gen. Stannard.
burlington, Vt, Free Press.)

Mrs. Emily Jane Stannard, widow Of
tho late Gen. George Jerrison Stannard
died at her residence in this city yesterday
morning. Mrs. Stannard was the daughter
of jeremiah and Hannah Marsh Clark, of
st. Albans, and was born there May u,
1928. She married Gen. Stannard, OF
st. Adams, Sept 26, 1850, and resided
there during the war for the Union, while
the General was in the army. In October,
1870, when Gen. Stannard was holding the
Ofhce OF Collector of Customs, the family
moved to Burlington, and this city was
thereafter Mrs. Stannard's home. In 1871
she received an injury to her spine while
passing down the iron staircase Mt the Gus
tom House here, which deprived her of the
use of her arms and hands and made her
an invalid for the rest of her life, which,
since Gen. Stannard's death in June. 1886.
was spent under the added shadow of
widoWhood. She bore her trials and af-
ilictlonS with the utmost patience and for
titude and cheerful resignation to her lot
Of seclusion and suffering. Four children
were born to General and Mrs. Stannard-
Eta, now Mrs. w. L. Stone; Kittie, now
Mrs. @. G. Miller; son, .Ierrison Clark,
who died July II, 1888. and Georgianna.
who remained unmarried and devoted her
life to the care of her mother with the
most loving and unsefish care. The
daughters will have the sincere sympathv
of wide circle in their sorrow and loss.
Mrs. Stannard had become increasingly
feeble with her declining years; but with
the exception Of 4 severe cold upon her
lungs last Spring. she had had no recent
acute illness, and her condition was not
considered alarming until early Friday
morning, when a hemorrhage took place,
and she ceased to breathe about 5 o'clock.
Mrs. Stannard was an attractive
woman IN her prime, and her many estima-
Bile and womanly qualities won for her the
affection and esteem of all who knew her.
She was Il devoted wife and affectionate
mother and loyal friend. Patriotic feel

dangers and suffering from wounds. as

JEWISH MATCHMAKER.
To His Professional Work is Due Happiness
in Married Jewish Life.

Marcus Heller, in the y. Y. News)
The happiness which is characteristic
Of Jewish married life is due to the fact
that the great majority of the weddings
among our people are brought about by
matchmaking, either conducted by reIa-
tives or by the professional schatehen.
The love match is the stem from which
grows the unhappy marriage. The rea-
son for this should be plain to the thought
full person. The young man and young
woman in love are totally blinded to each
others defects, and consequently each eX-
poets of the other perfection in the mar
ried life Marriage is an eye-opener, and
necessarily a disappointment to them
since perfection resides in no one. Quar-
rels and the divorce court follow.
When relatives make the match. as is
the custom with many of our people, and
with the peasaDtry of France and Ire
land, this danger is overcome in great
measure: although the blood relationship
of the matchmaker is apt to require too
much for the relative even under that
plan. Yet, in comparison with love
matches, these unions are very happy in
deed, as observation and reading inform
us.
The ideal marriage, the one most
nearly sure to result in full. satisfying and
complete happiness, is the one in which
a schatchen-the meaning of the word is
| cising that function, discovers the exact
suitability of the man and woman for
each other and brings them together. The
schatchen is the Jewish professional
matchmaker. There ought to be such n
calling among people of all races and
creeds, for its exercise is conducive in the
highest degree to the success of the mar
ital union and to all the comfort and
prosperity that follow from it.
The yoiIth and maid hrouOht toCoth har
by the professional matchmaker of skill
are insured against marital disappoint-
ment. The schatchen has studied and
judged fairly their tempers, temperament.
character and habits; and because the
success of his calling depends on his skill
as measured by the success Of the union
he is very careful not to make a mistake,
and his experience enables him to avoid
it. OF course, there must be good health
and good morals; there must be industry
and thrift; there must be means of liveli-
hood, and there ought to be sum laid
by against Illness or misfortune.
Given these conditions. the husband
and wife are joined together without any
illusions as to each other; there is no
chance of disappointment, heart-burning
and mutual hatred in the days to come
In fact, there is every reason to believe
from the records of experience that the
longer their association in wedloek the
more will their mutual liking grow, and
that it will eventually bloom into a last
ing love, as ardent as that of unwedded
sweethearts, which so often melts away
in marriage. Day by day is experience
making palmer to those who think seri-
ously and deeply on the subject chat the
first essential of happy marriage is to
have the match made by an outsider 1t
should be the hope of every lover of man
kind to see the custom grow.
