would do the work of 250,000 horses and

the Km suggests that if Congress should
appropriate the tax on spirits collected
at Chicago and Peoria for five years for
the purpose. the canal could be cori-
ntructed and paid for within that time
by the whisky tax of the section of the

The; corn crop is placed at about three~
fourths of a full crop by the Agricultural
Department report, or at 1,500,000,090
bushels. This, says the Philadelphia

feared earlier or than recent private esti« ,

mates. The crop as it stands, however,

1881,when it was only 1,100,000,000, and
the present yield is larger chiefly because
of the large crop at the South, which in

An amusing stratagem ia reporfed from
Paris. A young American lady was an-
noyed by the attentions of a strange
Frenchman. She consulted her aunt, and
aplan we laid. The next day the young
woman encountercd her admirer, who iu‘
vitcd her to breakfast. She returned the
l invitation and he accepted. Unrcuching

tled by the appearance other aunt: “ My
aunt, “ explained the young,' woman, ‘ ‘this
poor fellow is hungry, and I told himl

eat.“ “ 0h, ccrtninly.‘j answered the
l kiudvhenrted aunt. »“ Marie,“ she called
out to the trim maid, “ take this man to
the kitchen and give him some bread and
meat." Th. unhappy Frenchman was
shown through the door into the kitchen,
; whcnce he was able to escape by the ser-
