A Disappointino Witness

Deacon Stephen Potter. one of the pioneers of Utica. N r.. was a man of great eceentricity. but high moral character The deacon will speak the truth and shame the devil" was often said of him
 On one occasion a friend was en- gagged in a lawsuit in regard to some land few miles from Utica. He held the land at high price During the trial he called Deacon Potter as a wit ness to prove how valuable the land was. The deacon was sworn and asked if he knew the land
 "Yes." he replied. "I know every foot of it."
 What do you think it worth, Mir. Potter? was the next question.

had preconceived opinions about the canal, stoppedi over for day on his way home from journey about the time Colonel Goethais took charge. His story was prettily written and was widely read. Unfortunately for him and his story, he undertook to describe some difficult parts of the work going on that he had not visited, speaking ad- versely about It. It was necessary to answer his criticisms, because they had been so widely accepted. It was done efiectually. Of the time he spent there he only had few hours to devote to the canal, and yet what he undertook to describe would have required sever al days. Being mainly hearsay and fancy his blunders were at once and completely exposed and made to look ridiculous. Very little has been heard from him since. Imaginative writing about the canal and what Is going on down there-favorable or adverse--is neither safe nor profitable-the month iy statistics are invincible. For atime an animated contest went on As to whether sea-level or lock canal was the most advisable. The prev alent feeling was for sea-level canal. Sci- ence was too weighty for feeling. It was demonstrated that the cost Of the sea-level would have been full double l. ..E A operated as advsntageously, and could not have been so free from natural causes of danger.
 Imagine that fatal mistake had been made at some point, and when the four hundred millions had been ex- pended, 1t was then discovered the project was a failure, what ridiculous plight this country would have been in.
 The French failure in trying to build the canal, suffered calamity from which 1t has not yet recovered nor will for years to come Our failure would have been even more hopeless.
 | What Is our security against failure? 1 Science has taken into account every possible contingency, and worked out the problem carefully. until the mas terminals .unitedly declared il As de- monstrated. Our faith rests on their declarations and on the confirmation seen at every step of progress since the ntterance of those declarations.
 The heart of every American now i looks forward in confidence to the erowning act of triumph, the secrre pas sage of the first fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific, through the Panama ca- canal--that wonderful enterprise of l American genius.
 Our readers all are entitled to parti-
 cipate tn that joyful hope.
