The Imperial canal of China is the
longest in the world, and the greatest
in point of traffic. Its length, includ
ing river sections, is 2,100 miles, con
necting forty-one cities.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado
is considered the greatest whispering

In the interior of British Columbia
all the ditches and many creeks are
dry, the grass is burning, the young
grain is already drooping, and the
cattle must soon suffer. Bain cannot

Harper's Weekly applauded Gar
field as a man, and applauded Gar
field's action in appointing Blaine as
his right bower. That was three

Blaine is not "good" enough, and yet
it calls itself "a journal of civiliza
tion." a a - " -

Astoria, June 11th, 183.
, dewks JANE FOSTER.
The New York World thinks that
the novr Nation of Blaine and Logan
is the j.'Jt of a shameless political
bargaiJand represents the triumph
of, the most mercenary and worst
elements of the Republican party'
It says that the vote of Logan decid
ed Blaine's nomination, and the vote
of Blaine nominated Logan in re
turn.
Mb. Tildex, in a straight-forward,
manly letter of declination, positive
ly refuses to accept the Democratic
presidential nomination. His refusal
and the language in which it is
couched, makes it rather awkward for
the Democratic state conventions al
ready assembled which have in
structed their delegates for "the old
tioket."
- The people of. Albany, New York,
have the reputation of consuming
more opium than is consumed in any
other city of its size in this country.
.The 90,00G inhabitants of New York's
capital city needed nearly 4,000
pounds ot the insidious drug last
year, besides nearly 6,000 ounces of
. morphia and between 500,000 and
600,000 morphine pills.
. It is asserted by a New York paper
that the great increase in the number
. of telegraph wires throughout the
" country has rendered it practically
impossible to secure Becrecy in the
transmission of messages unlesB a
cipher is used. But is a cipher al
ways a protection? Mr. Tilden did
not find it so some years ago, when
wires were not nearly eo numerous as
theyare now.

Oaptain Chesteb A. Ball is a
manner to tne marrow or nis now
aged bones. Some months ago he
lost his ship and "returned to Bath
Me., where his daughter lives. She,
being dutiful, urged that as he had
reached the age of seventy-four years
and had aoguired plenty to live on
he ought to leave the sea to pass his
declining days in peace. He promis
ed, but the other night the old sailor
slipped away, went secretly to Book
land and shipped for 'another cruise.
-i. m a
m -No person of public note or worth
escapes being the subject of spiteful
and ungenerous remarks, at one time
or another. It may be unnecessary
to add that they invariably come
from sources far below the fountain
head of the true excellence of the
abused individual, for it is generally
known that small creatures make the
more noise. It is a sad fact in hu
man 'nature, that it is the disposition
of some to drag down to their level
all those whose moral and intellect
ual elevation, they can not attain.
But they are self-deluded when they
attempt it, only falling so much lower
themselves by the base effort.
