ble, and as they are bound to hare red on K somewhere, either a stripe on the sleeve or trousers, coat or hat, trie general effect is picturesque. These ‘-soldiers’* are constantly employed in suppressing rebellion, which is almost hourly. They are paid $3 per month, and provide their own uniform. The paramount question is the canal, and if there exists any doubt as to it* ultimate comple*tion it may as well be dissipated. Since the French obtained control of the Panama railroad they havo pushed the work of the canal with great energy. There are now nearly five miles finished on the Aspinwall side, and between the two points—Aspinwall aud this place—there is me continued scene of hard work, and the sections are contracted for, the whole work to be done" inside of five years. Os course, not being an engineer, and entirely ignorant of the subject of canals. I send you only information gathered from the most reliable persons. The estimated cost of the canal is put down in round figures to be $300,000,000, and up to yesterday the company had paid out for labor, machinery, etc.. $52,500,000. This tremendous urculation of money has benefited everybody, md. as mentioned in the first part of this letter, .he whole population is struggling to get rich. There seems to be no lack of money, and one of the leading bankers told me to-day that the canal company had in his hands $2,000,000 in. gold, and a similar amount on deposit in Colon. One of the greatest drawbacks the company has yet received was in a false statement submitted by the contractor and approved by the section bosses. Upon thus voucher being presented to the company the money was paid over, and it was only a fjw weeks ago that it was dis eovered that the company had been defrauded by false measurements to the extent of over sl,000,000. A commission from France is here investigating the subject, and until their report is made and some action taken, work will be temporarily suspended. (iHAHAM'B CAMPAIGN.

The heat grows worse, and the sick list is increased largely. Osman Digna’s sou was shot in the recent ingagement. General .Sir Gerald Graham telegraphs from Soakim to the government as follows: “Our march to Tarnai and our destruction of that place, after Osman Digna's boast to drive ns into 'he.sea. must greatly discourage the rebels.” AN IMPROBABLE STORY. A Report that Hundreds of Chinese Roman Catholic Converts Have Been Killed. Han Francisco, April 6.—The steamship Oceanic arrived this afternoon with Yokohama news of March 21. The Shanghai Mercury says that the Viceroy of tneYunan and Kwechong provinces has issued a decree condemning to destruction all Roman Catholic converts.

Then Igo to lowa, aud then go East. My engagements will occupy me up to the 20th of April.” “How is your cause progressing?* “We are much encouraged. The subject of woman’s suffrage is iriore generally discussed than formerly, and I hear much kinder sentiments expressed concerning ft than ever before.” “What do you think of the action of the New York ladies who petitioned the Legislature in opposition to the woman's suffrage petitioners?” “I think that they got a long way into public affairs for women who protest against all meddling with politics by their sex. They aro mentioned as ladies of the first families, though I do not know who they are. ” “Will the change of administration make any difference in the progress of your cause?” “Well, I would rather not have had Cleveland elected.

Boston Ilerald. j We think President Cleveland quite capable of reraoviug a Democratic office-holder who should imitate the evils and practice the abases which he has so justly and pointedly condemned. And we regard it as very probable that he will be called upon, in the interest of the public, and to show the full fearlessness of his devotion to the reform principle, to turn out an “offensive partisan” or two of his own party before the year is gone. A single conspicnous example of this sort would do more to help Democratic spoilsmen unlearn the lessons of the past, and to learn the meaning and the requirements of tbe new departure, than all that is being written or said on the subject Who will be the first Democratic offender to help on the process#* of education 1 Mme. Modjeska’* Stockings. Dramatic News. A current paragraph in the newspapers announce that Mme. Modjeska never wean* readymade stockings, but has hers manufactured to order in one of the leading siik mills of England. This information cannot but be interesting to any one who has ever seen Mine. Modjeska act. It has hitherto been the general opinion that Mme, Modjeska was an actress of much skill, polish and talent, whose performances were

made delightful by her experience and training, and by the natural gifts with which sne is endowed! Now, however, we know it is the stock ings. This hint ought to be of service to a great many actresses who would iike to be in Mine. Modjeska's place if they could get there. Let them cease to wear ready-made stockings and become great artists. HUMOR OF THE DAI. A I’ereiateui Suitor. Troy Press.

New Orleans Times-Democrat. There used to be an old gentleman who lived up in one of the parishes of this State, who was noted for his tremendous deportment and punctuality. Arriving in the city for the first time, he accosted a young man about town who was standing on the corner of Canal street: “I wish, my young friend,” said he, taking out his watch, “to go to the St. Charles Hotel.” “Well,” said the gilded youth, “you may go, bat don’t stay but half au hour.” Ocular Demonstration. Drake’. Magaxine. A gentleman went into a crowded store to bay some stockings for his wife. “I want striped ones,” he said to the clerk. “We have very few stripes, sir,” the clerk replied; they are not much worn now.” “Are you sure?” “Oh, yes! quite sure. I will demonstrate the fact to you.” Then he leaned over the counter and shouted: “Rats!” “See?” he asked. “Yes; give me plain colors.” A Minority Report. Merchant Traveler. “Pa," said a little boy who had been reading the newspaper, “what is a minority report?” “A minority report, my sonP inquiringly repeated the %ather. “Yes, sir.” “Well, my son,” he answered, scratching his head, “a minority report is—is—is—well, my son, where I say I won’t and your mother says I had better, that’s a minority report.” ‘ ‘Which one, pa, yours or mother’s?” “Ran out and play, my son; yon are too vonng to understand such matters. When you are older you won’t have to ask so many questions.” Tenacity of Life. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. “How little it takes sometimes to kill a man, and then, again, what wonderful tenacity to life some men have,” said the red headed man who was reading the paper. “That’s so,” said the others. “Just listen,” said the redheaded man. “Here’s a brakeman on the Nickie-plate road. The paper says ‘He fell in front of the car, which passed diagonally acoss his body, and lived’ —* “Begoeb, I knew a painter fell off a church steeple and got well again,” said the cross-eyed man. “I knowed a man shot a bullet through his heart and lived ten years,” said the man who looked like a farmer. ‘ ‘There was a man in Salem, where I came from, that had four ton of rock fall on him and he’s alive yet,” said the one-armed man. “Y-a a s,”said the red headed man. “Lemme see. Where was 1? “Oh —‘fell in front of the car, which passed diagonally across hia body, and lived but a few moments.’ ” A Democratic Apology for Lamar. Chattanooga (Teun.) Times. We are free to say that Lamar made a grave political mistake in closing his department when Thompson died. His record in the department is not good. He was a part of the almost totally rotten, weak and contemptible Buchanan administration; and if he were not dishonest, his accounts showed criminal looseness in managing a great trust. Had he been clear, he would have pressed to trial the suit brought against him in 1876 for making way with $2,000,000 of Indian trust funds in 1856 61, the same having been in bis custody as Secretary of the Interior. Thompson never pushed for a trial, but fought it off, wore out the prosecution, and got the case dismissed. Jere Black was his lawyer. Thompsons letters to Mr. Davis and to Benjamin, from Canada, in 1864, show him in the light of & monster engaged in conspiracies to burn cities, blow up steamboats engaged in commerce and passenger traffic, and other warfare on non-combatants women and children. Such a character ought not to be honored by recognition of his past public services, whether he lives or dies. Going into mourning for one with such a record was misdirected sentiment, serving to point to the worthlessuess and hypocrisy of all similar post-mortem compliments. The Men Who Helped Cleveland. St. Lonls Republican (l>em.) The present administration is Democratic. It shows its Democracy and its honesty by a willingness to pay its debts. There is no virtue more to be commended. Our most worthy and most excellent mugwumpian friends in New York have been paid in the reappointment of Mr. Pearson. Every Democrat should feel that a load is taken from his heart when that deed was done —a great stone, as it were, rolled away from the sepulehre. Now. when St John is paid and Brother Beecher, and Brother Burchard, and Brother Oonkling, not forgetting Brother Edmonds, Mr. Arthur and Col Frank Hatton, we believe the woods will be cleaned for a clearcut Democratic administration. Then will the little hills be ready to clap their hands with joy. and the morning stars sing together. We shall see the glory of Israel yet. An Unhappy Prospect. New York Graphic.

This is the fiftieth anniversary of marriage. Most folks who celebrate it have reached a good old age. Well preserved people have a right to enjoy a hearty old age. It*is sad to see old people the victims of debility and impoverished blood. People who are not too far gone can enrich their blood, conquer debility and enjoy vigorous health by the use of Brown’s Iron Bitters. I>r. Myers, of Fnirfleld, La., says: “Brown’s Iron Bitters is the best iron preparation I have ever .known In >ay thirty years of practice.” ‘
