There are 68 pupils in the white

of education. The pupils, when !
they leave the academy, arc fitted I

Divers opinions have been pub
lished lately regarding the Panama
canal—jts present state, the pros
pect of its future completion and
its efficiency when finished, and to
get some information from a strict
ly practical source a New York
Telegram reporter visnpd Mr. Na
thauiel Mcßay Monday morning.
This gentleman hits been visiting
the Isthmus of Pamama on busi
ness connected with his profession
that of a cqnrractoj. - —js well Lnpwn
as a practical man in all that, the
term implies, and to the question
jf the representative of the Tele
gram, hat is your opinion of
the Panama can?.l 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
b ridny, where 1 had been for M ome
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. It is, indeed, a vast
nndurtakhij'.
A STUPENDOUS WORK.
‘•According to the survey made
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 anothef
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 tiic large sum of 843
000,000 francs. The cost to re
move the various kinds of material
ranged iu 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, lias 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 a- 50 per cent.
I’he yrork has ah been done by con
tract, but the Canal Company finds
all the plant, or tools, fur the con
tractors, exacting a bond from
them that the machinery shall be
kept in good order and returned iu
as good condition as when ivceived
by them, excepting, of course, a
re-’.H>nable ‘wear and tear.’ The I
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. It is
strewed alongXhe line of the canal

PRESENT PROGRESS.
’•The canal proper has been ! J
dredged to the extent of 2| miles ’ i
Iropi Aspinwall, 120 feet wide and 1
deep and in the direction of e
Gatun. I his work has been exc— J
cuff'd by the American Dredging (
Company —Slavens Brothers, of r .
They have three of their <
large excavating machines naw at 6
woik, which dig about 3,000 cubic fc
metres per day. This firm is now J
building some ten or twelve new t
miiHnnes, lam informed, for iffis \
special service, all of which will bo I
at wbrk within ten months from *
the present time. Other machines
that arc engaged iu excavating r
there make very little progress n
coftiparcd with the American ma— v
chines. The majority of the con
tractors with their men are now
leveling off the high hills, terrac
ing, e.tc., down to the water level, j
and < ntting tunnels to divert the <
When this (the c
hardest part) is done, the machines !1
can get to work and the cutting of 1
the canal will then soon be acconi- f
plished, It something of a prob- s
lem as yet what shall be done with 1
the material that is excavated. I
fancy that it will all have to be j
carried out to sea. The dredaino- •
o to j
has been in progress only a year, s
the remainder of the time since 1
1880 having been consumed in the 1
preparations to begin this stupen- s
dons work. A vast amount of la- a
c
bor has been performed up to the r
present time, and the canal is pro- <
grossing now as fast as possible,
for the mechanical resources of the f
entire world are being utilized by !l
these trench engineers, whose con ,
i ’
ception of this undertaking, as'
evinced in the preparations made t
by them, in my opinion, is half 1
equal to its successful completion. c
I can give no opinion as to when j r
this caifal may be finished. If I| n
should it would only be a guess.— j
When, however, the machines that I
have been ordered get at work :l
. I v
some notion of the time it will take 1
may be formed. I consider Air. v

works, a man of great, ability and 1
the right man in the light place.— r

•‘What Next? ’
. This is a phrase often found ii
• the newspapers. Whenever any-
I j thing extraordinary happens, when
any event occurs especially wonder
. ful, the paragraph writer is apt to
; add. as his only comment, these
j words: “What nextf” That is
to say, the more extraordinary the
, occurrence,the less it is dwelt upon.
I A wonderful fact, instead of arres
i ting the attention, merely suggests
the inquiry, “What will happen
next.' . I his indicates a disease
of the intellect which craves nov
elty, always novelty Instead of
reflecting upon what takes place
i J ll or( Ior to learn some lesson from
pt which may be used hereafter,
the mind hurries away directly, as-
I for some other wonderful
f thing. Os now things, none are
. new enough. A morbid curiosity
takes the place of intellectual ear
, neatness.
Whatever particular fact we
lead 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 iu the pa
pers about the war in the Soudan
iu upper Egyt, let us take the op- j
portuuity to learn something about
the geography of Egypt, its races,
its past history, what took the Eng
lish there, what right they have to
be there. Then we can say, g What
next, and be prepared for the
next news that comes. ()r, if 1
read in the papers -about the troub
les in lieland, or iu Russia, let me '
stop and connect what is now hap
pening in those countries with
their past history, and so sec the 1
causes and roots of present events. ■
To do this the only apparatus need
ed is a common cyclopiudia and a
set of uiaps. To lead thus will
strengthen the memory, till the
mind with knowledge, and educate
us to habits of refl <• tion. Instead
of 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- 1
stood. Ihe habit of saying “What
next?” not only weakens the mem
ory and intellect, but destroys mor
al earnostnege.- James Freeman

The story of the man who relig
iously wound up his clock eycry
day for tun yeai-s, and then round
out|it was an eight-day cloejy, lias ,
arntieed the world froi'u time im-
memorial. The following story is
of the same kind, but the point is
eniphasiued by the fact that it had
actual occurrence in San Francisco.
Brooks, the artist, had his studio
for a great many years on the top
floor of a building on Clay street.
His pictures of still life have met,
in latter years, with considerable
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
available in his pockets. His stu
dio became noted for the stuff and
rubbish it contained. The corners
of the room were dumps of artistic
debris buried under three layers 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 n«»t
exactly of a nature to allow’ of con
cessions, and to Brooks’ request for
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 drawn 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
a large painting of a peacock—a
work on which Brooks had spent
much time and talent. She bought
the picture for a <zood round sum,
and the artist felt so wealthy that
he determined to clean, renovate
and decorate his studio. The place I
w’as cleared, swept, washed and'
painted. In one corner, under an
accumulation of diversified rubbish,
was discovered a plain simple lit
tle faucet. The discovery nearly

lue sight of a new shining silk

Ihe American people devote’
too much thought and time to pol- I

in my house hereafter, I will «ot |
him up in the requiesent business.

1 am no politician and never wns.
1 am just a plain unassuming, out
tulcntpd chap, with a tendency to
wnverse freely on subjects that 1
don't know anything about. That
is the reason why the aurora bore
alis will look aown this season on
a tall, amateur politician in mv
ward wearing the same undercloth
ing that he wore last winter. <
I hfivp no objection to allowing
a professional political! tho privD
lege of betting on election results,
but it’s poor business fora man of
letters. The literati ought to ab •
stain from it. John Bunyan never
guessed on Indiana and got left,
did he f He was no guesser. He
was a writer. Let ever man at
tend to his OM r n business, I say,
and shim politics as he would the

"Tiave md' 'of 1
the plug hat business, Parties who
ha\ c countries that they would like
to have saved will be attended to
if they will call during office hours,
but those who yearn for new cloth

winter delivering the opening ad- :
dress at the Cotton Carnival.
I 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 fo'tun
ate. Os course, yon can’t go out
much, and yon have rather a mo
notonous time of it here, but you
miss the cyclones and the elections.
Your life is perfectly safe while
your sentence lasts.”
After I had told him what I had
l passed through and had explained
to him the political outlook, and
the price of plug hats, he wrung
my hand and even smiled. When
I left him he was singing softly’ to .
himself,
“Oh, what shall the harvest be ?"
