' With the resignation ot X. Ferdinand Vie Lessepe-and the other officers ot the tnoirfbund Fanama Canal Company a new ejte must begin In the work of securing inteip. oeeanie transit for ships through thonmeijicau Isthmus. Frantically, too, the active career ot X. de Lesser comes to an end h career long and active beyond ordinary mortal compass, and full of such piotar-l esqueness as is seldom to be observed out-! side the pages of romantics fiction. . His father. Count Xathieu de Lessens, was! born at Bayonne, and as he was equally1 well acquainted with the Spanish and 1 French languages, was sent by Napoleon L .J&.lpeomtianr.ii'Uolen. Msiisforte.li is ' first ambassador to the court of Spain, White in Spain the elder De Lesseps made the acquaintance ef Mr. Eirkpatriak, United States eonsul to Malaga, who first iutwduaed him to the tunny of Senor Grevigny, a notable of Andalusia. This noble Spaniard had two fair daughters, with one ot whom Mr. Kirkpatrlok was already in love, and it did not take the Count long to fall in love with the Cher. The BcotoU-American Consul and the Frenchman became broth ers-in-lawi and while the son of the latter was to become Ferdinand, "Duke of Sues. the daughter of tho former beoame Countess of Monti jo and mother of Eugenie, afterward Empress ot France. The elder De Lesseps in 1803 represented the French Bepublio in Egypt. Bonaparte instructed him to plok out from among the leaders of the Turkish troops a man of energy and ability who could be proposed at Constantinople for the hitherto nominal dignity of Pasha of Cairo. X. de Lesseps pitched on Mehsmet All, tile illiterate commander ot a oorps of baahi-baeouks, and advised his protege as to a short method of dealing with the mamelukes, who were the oppressors of the Egyptians and the enemies of France. Mehemet, who might have been one ot Carlyle'a heroes, put the counsels into practice at the massacre ot the citaQel, which Kinglake so dramatically described in "Eothen." It was when X. Ferdinand de Lesseps was himself French Consul General in Egypt that he beoame intimate with Mehemet All's youngest son, his future patron and partner. Ferdinand de Lesseps was born at Versailles Nov. 19, 1806, and, after acquiring thorough diplomatic education by travelingabout in company with his father, entered the consular iiervioe himself and held the post of Consul at Barcelona. Cairo, and Alexandria. becomiiiK Consul General at the man capital, ana receiving me cross oi gton or Honor for nls neroism ana devotion durlne the oburue. In 1848 he was made French i Minister at Madrid, and the following yhar was sent to Borne to effect negotiations Deiween we popular government and the French army. Owing to his too favorable opinion of the popular movement In Itaiv he was recalled in disaracov Xbhlimffied Said, son of SohSiuorAlT. nadl now suooended to the Yloeroyalty at Uslro, and he invited the son of his father's Iriend to go to Egypt as his guest. The idea of the Sues Canal then took possession of De Lessepa' mind, and Bald became his first convert. Tae Sultan and the English bitterly opposed the scheme, but the company was formed in 1854, with a capital of SfO.OUO.000. The work was begun in 1858. was pressed with vigor and'vjnthusiasu), and the canal was opened withrlmposloo- ooT.'mnrji Wov. 17, 1869 the same year in wliiWi ih- ( nion and Central Paciflo roilr-nnl wore nnnted at Promontory, in Dt.tli. IMng l.rr kin -man, De Lesseps Bad th symri-u and active interest of the Kmpr"as Enp.i,io i this great enterpstsfe xti4 it -ns h,nthrough her patronage thut li: enablr .1 to earry it to a suceeserul cunrtlusioii. The Sues Canal MtssW t''.rotcrh a 1- v. sandy plain, and isabous. iJ iiluo l"nct. tr constant dredeins-'aa avesaare denth ul twenty-six fee ot water is maintained, and ships pass in atid-out at either end without tne ntndranoe or iocks. The business ot tne csnal has steadily incroased. In 1885 no less than 3,624 vessels passed through it; the gross receipts were 1(12.p0S.9B0; the shareholders wore paid a dividend ot 17.08 percent, after tho sinkin? fund had been provided for.; and the tonnage ot steam and sailing vessels :&at passed through amounted to 8.985.411 tons. The idea of cutting through the Cordilleras and providing a waterway from the Atlantic to the Paciflo at Darien originated with the Spanish conquerors, but their plans lay for 300 years buried in musty and dusty archives ut Madrid. The speculations of modern selonee revived the idea, and when M. de Lenseps assembled his famous congress in the Low Countries in May, 1879, a variety of competing schemes were submitted to it, The ehoice was finally narrowed to the project of the canal through Nicaragua and that of the Panama route. The NicoraguaiL line had its advantages and was the cheaper of the two by 1 8.000.000, as it was caloulutod to cost only $160,000,000. But it was much the longer, both in time and dietaries; it would be difficult and expansive to keup in check the luxuriance of the tropical vegetation; the number of ships would be limited by the looks, aad tae gigantic stone-works would be liable at any moment to be shaken by the Central American earthquakes. So the congress recommended the pieroingof the Panama Isthmus by an overwhelmingmajority. .A few of tho members abstained from votlnic, and X. de Lesseps Soints ont thut the abstainers and tbo small issentient mlnprlty were mainly mado up of Central American delegates, so that tho decision may be said to have bean practically unanimous. The route to be adopted had been surveyed ruid recommended by two Frenoh naval officers, MM. Wyse and heclus. The congress finally resolved, by seventyeight votes against eight, twolve abstaining, that the canal, at the sea-level, without any locks, should be made from the Bay of Limon to the Bay of Fanama; all th committees agreed iu favor of this resolution. Otner reeommendations of the congress have been followed by the company which M. de Lessens formed to execute the work. styled "La Compagnle Universello da Canal Interoceaniaue do Panama." In July. 1879. M. Ferdinand de Lesseps concluded an arrangement with M. Bonaparte Wyse and his associates for the purchase of a concession granted to the latter by the Government of the Colombian Bopnbllo for a canal aoross the Isthmus of Panama. On the 23d ot that month M. de Lessens published hia first prospeotus, inviting subscriptions for 800,000 shales ot $100 eaeh, giving a capital of SSO.OOU.OOO. The shares were not takon up. but tn November, 1880, a second prospectus was issued for 600.000 shares, and upward of 1.300.000 shares were then applied for by 103,230 subscribers. The company was thus constituted with a capital of S60.00a.000 in GUO.000 $100 Kbares. which have been paid In full, and the company has ooairaouiu six loans, moour wiring o per cent interest, but taken at large discount, the total amount, of obligations in 1887 beInc $269,505,500, which had produced in cash only $149,546,740; the annual charge for interest, with that or the sinking fund, is $13.942,290. The total cost or the work, allowing: 10 per cent, for contingencies, was estimated in 1880 at (108,740.000. but the actual expenditure up to June 80, 1887, was $290, 000.000. and yet the work was little more than begun.

Crossing tbe Mississippi and then the Missouri, the advance guard of civilisation found, not the desert, but gratisy meadow lands and wide fields where nature in the remote past had, with its massive harrow of ice, pulverized the rock into soils perfect in ehomioul proportions for the growth of vegetation. Everywhere the plowshare moved through 'the soil like the keel through the water, tnd countless acres were added to the food-nrodacinct area of the republic. The discovery of tnese untiuea fcetcls, t ae gardens of the desert, settled the attention of more end better meat and bread for tho hungry roillioas of earth. New appliances were needed upon land where tbe plow could move for miles without meeting an obstacle, and so the gang plow was invented and substituted for the single one.' Sowing grain by hand was too slow, and so he seeding machine was called into use.
