CANAL FROM ThE ATLANTIC TOi THE PACIFIC.-The
New Orleans Bulletin, in a long a ticle upon this suo
Sect, has the following:
It seems to be suspected at Washington, on wh3t
grounds do not appear, that the United States surver
ing expedition sent to the Isthmus of Darien to look for
a canal route will arrive at nothing satisfactory as the
result of their exploration. Supposing the suspicion
well founded, the subject of a Nicaraguan ship canal
will loom into an importance of the very highest degree.
People will then ransack forgotten books and pamphlets
to find out statistics relating to this route, and they will
wonder, perhaps, that they ever regarded the statements
of M. Belly regarding a Nicaraguan .anal as visionary,
or theconviction of General William Walker about the
great commercial future of Nicaragua as the dream of
a mad adventurer. They will wonder, too, perhaps,
why they never before realized the significance of the
fact that Comnmodore Vanderbilt, when plying beta ween
San Francisco and New York, via Nicaragua, demon
strated that onTy lhTteen mile:of tand needed to be ut
in order to give water commnuication from ocean to
ocean. It is also an interesting fact, in this connection,
that more than twenty-five years ago, Louis Napoleon,
the present Emperor of the French, bore testimony to
the eligibility of this route, as well as to the great com
mercial possibilities of Nicaragua, in a patmtphlet, in
which be said :
"AsConstautinople is the centre of the ancient world,
so is the town of Leon, or rather Massaya, the centre
of the new, and if the tongue of land which separates
its two lakes from the Pacific Ocean (fifteen miles) were
cut through she would command, by her central posi
tion, the entire coasts of North and South America.
* * * * The State of Nicaragua can become, bet
ter than Constantinople, the necessary route for the
great commerce of the world; for It is to the United
States the shortest route to China, and for England and
the rest of Europe to New Holland, Australia, Polyne
sia and the whole western coast of America."
It is well to oserve, for the rest, that the Nicaragua
route, though. itended by a longer transit, would save,
as comparet 'with the Darien route, several hundred!
miles fro American ports in their trade with the Pa
cific co st and with Asiatic countries. In the case of I
New neans a glance at the map will show this saving
to peculiarly valuable by reason of her position with
r pect to the Central American coast.
Tae MURDYR OF THE PIEuANs.-The slaughter of
the defenceless Indian squaws and children by Federal
soldiers, acting under orders of Gen. Sheridan, has
raised a cry of indignation throughout the civilized
world, which the weak attoempts at palliation by the
friends and parasites of the distinguished butchers will
Fcarcely quell.
The Picayune translates the following on the subject
from the New York Journal, a German paper:
To us who have looked upon the achievements of
Sherman and Sheridan during the late war from an
unprejudiced standpoint, their latest civilatory cam
paigns are not surprising, they being in accordance
with their character. Like a second Atilla, Sherman
marched through Georgia ad the two Carolinas, and
Sheridan through the Shenandoah Valley, laving waste
the most fertile regions of their own country. The
slaughter of. the savages appears to us a fit supplement
to their heroic deeds at that time. But now, after the
civil war, in which the most cruel vandal could display
their "heroism," is over, these individuals are fit no
longer for positions in which the life of their fellow
men is given into their hands. They should be com
pelled to work in a large slaughter-house. There they
would be in their element.
A FIZZLE.-Gen. W. H. Parsons, the convert to
radicalism, made an elaborate speech in the State Sen
ate, which should haunt him like foul murder to the
latest period of his life. The antics played by this
new convert to Radicalism appear like a monkey in
the China shop. Parsons is a modern Mercury who,
if he does not steal the cattle of Admetus on the day
of his birth, or the quiver and arrows of the divine
shepherd, has shown a willingness, in his infancy, to
rob Neptune of his trident; Venus of her girdle, Mars
of his sword, Jupiter of his sceptre and Vulcan of his
tools. He comes with a cheerful countenance and
carries the caduceus of party with entwined serpents
as if bent on a pleasant mission. The devil once made
a speech, (we mean no disrespect to his Satanic majesty
by the comparison) and so has Gen. Parsons ! And
such a speech ; full of sound and fury, signifvingnoth
ing. Poor Parsons, how art thou fallen !
I Lavtcca (Tex.) Commercial.
The fact is tile good people of Texas made a fool of
Parsons. A man of considerable sprightliness of mind,
and of intense personal vanity, his qualities are entirely
on the showy order. There is very little depth of
mind or character about him, and so, after there was
no money to be made or glory won, by an association
with the "rebel element," he unect upulously abandoned
the lost cause, arld basely turned upon the hand that
had petted and caressed him almost to the full measure
of his inordinate egotistical desires. ,
FrasT Ksocc-DowN FOR THnriRAN.-A WashingtonI
correspondent, speaking.f the debate in the Senat,
on the admission of Gen. Ames as aSenator from Missis
sippi, says:
That astute and remarkably modt.st Senator, Thayer,
rushed into the arena to attack the intelectrual athletes
Conkling and Thurman, and got for his reward a back
handed slap from the latter which sent him reeling to
his corner timid the hearty laughter of the audience.
IHe inquired pertly of Thurman : " If Ames went
back to Maine would lie be allowed to vote?" Thurman
replied that it would depend upon his polities, but cer
tainly he would he legally entitled to vote in Maine.
PtiRRE SotcLr.--Mr. Soul was sixty-nine years of
age, of which more, than forty were passed in New Or
leans. The Picayune thus speaks of his personal ap
pearance :
In person Mr. Sould was remarkably handsome. Ilis
head was a study for artists, being massive, and well
formed, with a broad, expansive foreherd, firm set
mouth and chin, the nose slightly aquiline, and the I
arch of the eye gracefully curved, from beneath wl.ich
shone a pair of dark eyes, full of intelligence ald fire.
llis voice was wonderfully magnetic in its influence on
hearers. His elocution was polished, his gestures grace
ful and always appropriate.
His manners in social life were gentle and winning,,
but his nature was proud, aspiring and impatient, and
any opposition to his wishes quickly roused its sleep
ing force and vehemence. He was a very positive man
ini everything, though he rarely abandoned the persua- t
sive in manner. Taken all in all, Pierre Soul6 will be
remembered in this community is one of the most
brilliant, learned, intellectual and gifted men who have
lived and died here during the past fifty years.
FLNERALOF THE LATE PIERRE SOULE.-The Bulletin
of the 28th ult. thus speaks of the funeral of the Hon.
Pierre Soule, who for so many years occupied a prom
inent position at the Bar of New Orleans and in the
political affairs of the State and Govermnent:
The mortal remains of this eminent citizen were en
torubed yesterday afternoon. The funeral took place
from his late residence on Burgundy street, between
Dumaine and St. Ann streets. The cortege was to
have moved at four o'clock, but did not until five.
Meantime the banquettes on both sides of the street
became thronged with the friends and admirers of the
illustrious man deceased, most of whom entered the
mnansion and took a last look at his grand, Latin face.
It was observed that his protracted ailment of mind
had caused no effect upon the expression of his coun
tenance, the only change noticeable being the attenua
tion resulting from long illness. Were the life within
him yet, he was, to all appearance, the renowned ad
vocate, the distinguished statesman and the chivalrous
gentleman who might have been seen w;lking these
streets twenty years ago.
I GEORGIA WA.rs THaE Sun CIS ELEUT THEM.
Senator Howe administered a settler in the way of logic
and justice to the Bullock champions in Congress in
the debate on the Georgia bill.
Mr. Stewart thought it very teasionable for Congress
to give the Bullockites the two years more of power
they wanted.
~MHowe replied: " If the State of Georgia wants
n office for two years more, the people of Georgia
can elect them next fall, can they not ?"
Mr. Stewart caved at this. He finally ml unibl d some
jabber about putting the machinery in operation to
have a fair election.
Mr. Howe came back at him squelelingly, as fol
lows:
" I may be unreasonable, but my idea is- and I wish
theI Senator to get the benefit io it-that a Govern
merit whirl cannot control a Stare the next week after
we give it power, it is not worth while to keep it in
power, and the sooner awe g." i5 .,I it the better."
iAtltata Constitution.
Mrs. Stanton's Revolution has furnished the ground
work for something of a sensation. It charges that
-eventy courtesans were taken to Washington to in
d~fence legislation upon the Pacific Railroad subsidy.
It charges, also, that $25,U000 were recently divided
among tye keepers of houses of ill fame in Washing
ton, who were to coerce, utder penalty of exposure,
the support by their Congressional patrons if a bill
providing for Indian appropriations. If Mrs. Stanton
has any evidence to su,.stantiate these grave charges,
they exhibit a depth of moral and political d, gradai
tion in Washington which is astounding.
The locomotite still rests quietly in its new hotiue:
and the track affords fine pasturage for cuttle. Potato
Bend still holds the key to the prosperity of Jefferson,
and everything wags along, as usual. Everybody at
tends to his or their own business, watching for the
"almighty dollar," while public enterprise, abandoned
and shunned by all, has sought more genial regions.

IMr. Greeley's stereotyped answer to all persons in

" Westward hoe."
Some of the Memphis merchants are refusing ad
vances to farmers who will not agree to plant corn the

Sumner is in consultation with Revels as to whether

There are now living in Maine, in good health, live

d The "suspension of the captain of the Bombay for
six months " is all well enough as far as it goes, but
it ought to have been at the end of a rope and forever.
a Says the Nashville Banner: "The Southern mule
trade appears to be, in vulgar parlance, about ' played
d out.' Several shipments have been brought back lately,
no market having been found."
The Tomab (Wis.) Journal says: "An Indian lady
passed by our office the other day, with a quarter of
venison and two papooses on her back, a jug of whisky
in one hand, and a wigwam in the other."
A gentleman in Milwaukie, who several years ago
was robbed of a $100 bond, has just had it returned to
him by the thief, with the information that it has
" layed on his stummuck ever sense."

Michael Haydon, of the firm, has been arrested, charged

The counterfeit cable dispatches which are manufac.

The Chicago Post thinks that if Olive Logan and
Anna Dickinson ever marry, they will contrive some

A gentleman who went from Texas to California in
1852, has just returned with his family to spend the
balance of his days in his former home. He says a
great many Texans in California are disposed to follow
his example. [Henderson Times.
The Boston Advertiser thinks it very remarkable that
the Virginians do not like George Rye, the new Radi- a
cal State Treasurer, " as rye has always been a great I
favorite in Virginia." The favorite of the Virginians
was "old rye " and not the nasty new swindle to which
the Advertiser refers.
The Rev. John Wood, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., fifty
odd years old, and a widower for the third time, has
been expelled from his church. The case seems to
have been a very aggravated one, as none of Mr.
Wood's family doubted at first that the intentions of
the girl were honorable.
Marshal Soult, once showing his pictures he stole in C
Spain, stopped before one and remarked: "I value E

immediately unless they gave it up." p
The King of Prussia said, while the existing debate

A few days ago a man entered an insurance ofice in
Buffalo, and, tossing a paper on the counter, said to the
clerk : " That's run out, and I want to get it renewed."
As the clerk unfolded the documemt a broad grin
spread over his face, and he inquired: " Are you sure
that this has run out? "" Yes," said the man, " my
wife told ime it run out yesterday morning," where
upon the clerk handed back to him his-marriage cer
tificate!
REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.-The people of Waco
talk of placing that city in nomination, to be voted for
at the first general election, under the terms of the
new constitution, for the State Capital. The advocates
of division in Western Texas talk of voting for Tyler,
since by removing the Capital to the East they will
strengthen the sentiment in favor of division.
[Tyler Reporter.
We join hands with the National Index on the ques
tion of a division of Texas into three States, on the
plan now before Congress. Go ahead, get your party
right and we will do what we can with ours. We will
eschew politics on this question and on internal im
provement questions. [Henderson Times.
Our sentiments exactly. Let the State be divided
by the people at the next general election.
'Tyler Reporter.
The movement to establish a telegraph line from
Alexandria to Shreveport via this town, with an office

is now fairly on foot. Efforts are being made to get
the amount of money desired of this place-$2000
subscribed, $800 of which has been subscribed, and
the prospect is good to get the balance.
[Mansfield Reporter.
THE RAII.ROt.-We heard it said the other day that
a gap of only ten or twelve miles prevented the re
sumption of cotmmunication between the Mississippi
and Ouachita rivers. If this be true, we may reasona
bly expect an early completion of the work, and con
scequently an increased amount of business in this
chat ting little city of Morroe.

At the recent session of the Supreme Court in Saco,
Maine, a leading lawyer wi-hed to show that deeds, not
words, show the animus of an action, and accordingly
cited to the jui y the case of the prodigal son, " whose
father divid.d his property among his two sons and
then said, Go, work to-day in my vineyard.' One of
them said, ' I go,' but didn't; the other refused and af
teraards went." The broad grin on the faces of the
court and jury convinced the advocate that quoting
scripture was not his forte.
It is reported on good authority that of the mission
ary effort put forth in China at least ninety per cent.
is by the Catholics. The French Minister has obtain
ed an imperial decree permitting the priests to decide
all questions of law between Chinese Catholics and
those who still adhere to the Chinese religion. So
high a personage as Sir John Browning, who was
there for a long while, expresses -he opinion that Ro
manism stands a fair chance of obtaining possession of
this vast empire.
In New Orleans, a short time ago, when the lithe
form of Lydia Thompson appeared on the stage, a rus
tic from Arkansas became lost in admiration, and
slowly stroking his unkempt heard and eyeing the daz
zling beauty as she roquetted about in her peculiarly
fascinating manner, he muttered to himself in a sortof
hoarse whisper, "Dang my buttons, bt she's a beauty
-lively as a two-year old. She's lightning, by thun
der! She's bully, though! " And then, as if utterly
at a loss for some exclamation to express his admira
tion, continued in a tone which showed how deeply
the heart under his copperas colored rest was moved,
" You little rascal, you, if I only badi you up in old

WaY is it that so many children die under the age of
five years? That a large proportion of children die
under that age, has long been a subject of remark, and
without a satisfactory cause ascertained, it is certain.
Also, it is known that worms exist in the human sys
tem from its earliest infancy; therefore parents, espe
cially mothers, who are more constantly with their
children, cannot be too observing of the first symptoms
of worms, for so surely as they exist, they can be
SAFELY AND CERTAINLY
removed from the most DELICATE INFANT, by the
timely use of
B. A. FAHEFSTOCK'S VERMIFUGE.
It is perfectly harmless, contains no Mercury, being a
Purely Vegetable Composition.
And may be administered with the UTMOST SAFETY
TO CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
Worm Confections, made more for the purpose of
pleading the palate than of overcoming the disease,
have been manufactured all over the country, but their
abort lease of life is nearly exhausted, and B. A.
Fahnestock's Vermifuge continues to grow in favor I
daily.
CAUTION.
Should occasion require you to purchtase B. A. Fah
ne.bck's Vermifuge, be particularly careful to see
that the initials are B. A. This is the article that has
been so
FAVORABLY KNOWN SINCE 1829,
And purchasers must insist on having it, if they do not
wish to have an imitation forced upon them.
