Uniting Oceans
Divers opinions have been pub
lished lately regarding the Panama
canal—its present state, the pros
pect of its future completion and
its efficiency when finibhed, and to
get some information from a strict
ly practical source a New York
Telegram reporter visited Mr. Na
thaniel McKay Monday morning.
This gentleman has been visiting
the Isthmus of Pamama on busi
ness connected with his profession
that of a contractor—is well known
as a practical man in all that (he
term implies, and to the question
of the representative of the Tele
gram, hat is your opinion of
the Panama canal as it appeared to
you; is its completion possible; is
the scheme a huge chimera, as
has been stated, etc?” he replied:
“I returned from Aspinwall last
T riday, where 1 had been for some
time on a tour of inspection rela
tive to the present and future prog
ress of the canal, which the French
have been at work upon for three
years past. Il is, indeed, a vast
undertaking.
A STUPENDOUS WORK.
“A ‘b - ,4/ X tLxa .AMOT l«>
in 1880 there must be removed in
the cutting of the canal some 75,
000,000 cubic metres of earth,
rock, etc., or about 97,000,000 cu
bic yards. One third of this
amount is hard rock and another
third is ‘earth above water.’ Then
there are dams locks and break wa
ters to be built and tributary chan
nels to be cut to divert the Chagres
river, besides other contingent ex
penses, all ot which has been esti
mated to cost the large sum of 843
000,000 francs. The cost to re
move the various kinds of material
ranged in the estimate from 50
cents to $7 per cubic metre, and as
far as the work has progressed
this cost, in either its abstract or
detail, has not been exceeded, but
as the accounts of the company
show, the work has been executed
at a cost much below this estimate,
in some cases as far as 50 per cent.
The work has all been done by con
tract, but the Canal Company finds
all the plant, or tools, for the con
tractors, exacting a bond from
them that the machinery shall be
kept in good order and returned in
as good condition as when received
by them, excepting, of course, a
reasonable ‘wear and tear.’ The
interest on the cost of the tools,
computed for the time that each
contractor has them, is paid to the
company by him. The plant is
simply immense, some of it havinir
been used in the Suez canal, ft is
strewed along the line of the canal
and the Paiiam i Rti'roal for over
forty mile*, and in my several joins

cavating, etc. The workmen are
chiefly natives, but many came
from the islands in Caribbian Sea.

per day, and every one of them is
in possession of more money than

PRESENT PROGRESS.
“The canal proper has been
dredged to the extent of 2| miles
from Aspinwall, 120 feet wide and
12 feet deep and in the direction of
Gatun. This work has been exe
cuted by the American Dredjfine
Company—Slavens Brothers, of
this city. They have three of their
Iflrgc excavating machines now at
\Vprk, which dig about 3,000 cubic
neties per day. This firm is now
building some ten or twelve new
machines, lam informed, for this
special service, all of which will be
at work within ten months from ’
tie present time. Other machines i
that are engaged in excavating
there make very little progress 1
( ompared with the American ma- I
clines. The majority of the con—
tractors with their men are now
leveling off the high hills, terrac
ing, etc., down to the water level,
and cutting tunnels to divert the
Qiagres river. When this (the
lurdest part) is done, the machines
ter m k anu-ss, ,•
the carnal will then soon be accom
plished. It is something of a prob
lem as yet what shall be done with
the material that is excavated. I
fancy that it will all have to be
carried out t? sea. The dredging
has been in progress only a year,
the remainder of the time since
1880 having been consumed in the
preparations to begin this stupen
dous work. A vast amount of la- I
hor has-been performed upto the
present time, and the canal is pro
gressing now as fast as possible,
for the mechanical resources of the
entire world are being utilized by
these French engineers, whose con
ception of this undertaking, as
evinced in the preparations made
by them, in my opinion, is half
equal to its successful completion.
I can give no opinion as to when
this canal may be finished. If I
should it would only be a guess.—
When, however, the machines that
have been ordered get at work
some notion of the time it will take
may be formed. I consider Mr.
Uengler, the chief director ot the .
works, a man of great ability and '
the right man in the right place.— ,
The office at Panama reminds me
of the War Office at Washington
during the war—all activity. Mr.
Dingier supervises everything and
singns all letters. How he Hands it

“What Nex:?'
This is a phrase often found in
the newspapers. Whenever any
thing extraordinary happens, when
any event occurs especially wonder
ful, the paragraph writer is apt to
add, as his only comment, these
words: “What next?” That is
to say, the more extraordinary the
occurrence,the less it is dwelt upon.
A ’••’onderful fact, instead of arres
ting the attention, merely suggests
the inquiry, “What will happen
next?”. This indicates a disease
iof the intellect which craves nov
elty, always novelty Instead of
reflecting upon what takes place I
in order to learn some lesson from !
it which may bo used hereafter, j
the mind hurries away directly, as
king for some other wonderful
i thing. Os new r things, none are
| flew enough. A morbid curiosity
takes the place of intellectual ear
nestness.
Whatever particular fact wc
read about, whether it be in news
papers or books, let us try to at
tach it to something more general. '
If, for example, we read in the pa-1
1 ; pers about the war in the Soudan
.| in upper Egyt, let us take the op- j
I portunity to learn something about
the geography of Egypt, its races, J
its past history, what took the Eng
lish there, what right they have to
be there. Then wc can -ay, “What
j next” and be prepared for thej
1 next news that comes. Or, if 1
1 read in the papers about the troub j
les in Ireland, or in Russia, hit me
stop and connect what is now hap
pening in those countries wiMi
their past history, and so sec the’h
causes- and roots of present events. [
To do this the only apparatus need ;
'ed is a common cyclopa dia and a .
I set of maps. To lead thus will
strengthen the memory, fill the
mind with knowledge, and edimate
us to habits of reli ction. Instead
iof sliding over the surface of events ;
we shall regard them seriously as ]
: providential, and as having a mean .
ing to be sought after and—under
stood. The habit of saying “ W hat 1
next?” not only weakens the mem- f
ory and intellect, but destroys mor- <
al earnestness. —Janies Freeman {

emphasized by the fact that it had t
actual occurrence in San Francisco, j
Brooks, the artist, had his studio j
for a great many years on the top .
floor of a building on Clay street. J
His pictures of still life have met, 1
in latter years, with considerable 1
appreciation, and, in a modest way, (
he is comfortably fixed. But for a
long while, his lot was a hard one, .
and there was but little money 1
I available in his pockets. His stu- '
i dio became noted for the stuff and ;
rubbish it contained. The corners
of the room were dumps of artistic
debris buried under three layeis of
dust. Brooks was not a good ten
ant. His rent was not pronq tly
paid. It would accumulate for
months—even years—and then, un
der threat of execution, be liquida
ted by a picture. The relations be
tween landlord and tenant were net
exactly of a nature to allow of con
cessions, and to Brooks’ request lor
running water in his room was not
acceded to. For seven or eight
years the old man went down,
twice a day, three flights of stairs
and up again the same narrow way,
with a bucket of water drftWn from
the faucet on the first, floor. It
was hard work for the old fellow,
and occasioned semi-daily bursts of
profanity. It happened one day,
| that a wealthy lady took a fancy to
I a large painting of a peacock —a
work on which Brooks had spent
much time and talent. She bought
the picture for a good round sum,
and the artist felt so -vealthy that
he determined to clean, renovate
and decorate his studio. The place
was cleared, swept, washed and
painted. In one corner, under an
accumulation of divers itied rubbish,
’ was discovered a plain simple lii
i tie faucet. The discovery nearly
I sent Brooks crazy. Even to this
I day, the thought of the steps up, i
and the steps down, and the v : olent
language he might have spared
himself, puts him info an easily un
derstood rage.i American Queen.

Tue sight of a new shining silk
hat firings the tears to my o.yes.
Ihe American people devote i
too much thought and time to pol-;
itics. If any man refers to politics
in my house hereafter, I \Vill set |
i him up in the requiescat business.

I am just a plain unassuming, i ut

is the reason why the aurora bore

1 have no o <jccti< n t > allowing
a pi' f .ssiomd politicau the privi
lege of belling on election result.-, i
but it's poor busimss fora mm of
letters. The literati oujffit to ah- 1
stain from i‘. John Bunyan never
guessed on Indiana ant l got left,
did ho ? He was no guesser. He
was a writer. Let* vvr an at
tend to his own business, 1 say J
and shun politics as he would the
deadly upas tree.
I think the country ought to be
saved and am willling to do what
is tight, but 1 have gone out of
the plug hat business. Barties who

to have saved will be attended to
if they will call during office hours,
but those who yearn for new cloth
ing at my expense will please call

winter delivering the opening ad

1 visited an intimate friend over
in the Stillwater penitentiary the
other day, a friend named Younger, !
and I said to him: “Cole,” said I,
“you think you are a little unfor
tunate and hampered here, perhaps,
but I think you are mighty so tnn
ate. Os course, you can’t go out
much, and yon have rather a mo
notonous time of it here, but you
miss the cyclones and the electior s.
Y'our life is perfectly safe while
your sentence lasts.”
After 1 had told him what I had
passed through and had explained
to him the political outlook, and
the price of plug hats, he wrung
my hand a.nd even smiled. When
I left him he was singing softly to
himself,
‘•Oh, wltat -hi 11 the harvest be
