XICARAGUAN THE ROUTE. The Commute flakes tlie Recom. niendatlon aid tlie Estimate eTCest It is evident that The United States will ere long take up the task ol making a ship, waterway across the islhmus of Panama, la the last Congress the prelimi nary movement was made to, have a committee to determine whicn is tne more desirable route, for there are two of nearly eqnal merits. The one is across atPanama and is partly made alreadyy It failed of completion through the M de Iiesseps collapse. The other is the less direct route by way of lake Nicaragua. Each has its iunendous difficulties and each u is is claims in certain features. vre remember that President Grant favored the Nicaragua q route then just "coming into favor. The comparative merits of the two routes were! el iborately dis cussed about last February in Via ftniAntirio American which vv" enumerated the number of locks in each, the difficulty jn controll ing the mountain floods and then the drougnts, tne lengtn oi time it will take to pass tHrotight them. the eflects of the trade winds on each, the harbors to f the ap proaches and the various other considerations. Congress directed the president to appoint, a com mittee to visit both places and after carefully weighing every consideration to make a reoom meEdation of one and estimate the cost of construction." The president was authorized to spend as much as $1,000,000 for this work. The committee has completed its report and favors the Nicara giari route. It is estimated that it will cost $118,113,790. The consideration will doubt less be taken ud by the next Congress. A Whale, Maybe. A friend writes to the Salisbury Sun from Bringle's on the Yad- kin, "There was a lish caught at Stafford's mill today (June 1st) weighing 75 pounds. It meas ured six feet in length and two feet and five inches in circum ference. 1 f. . , "It is not a sturgeon and we don't know what it is. It is alive and can be seen at any time soon at Stafford's mill. It was caught by Mr. T J Davis.'- i- ma am ' 1 ' Children's Day Exerciser Tomorrow is Children's Day at Epworth Methodist church.

As all business of this kind is subject to a tax; Sheriff j?eck asked -for hetax due. One of the gentlemen, who was manager of the , business wlile . here, in armed the sheriff ! that the tax was paid, but could not prbve it, not having the receipts, and Hence Sheriff feck had the! robni locked for the sake .of ' the taxes. The proprietor of the firm was here Friday .from ;Norf oik, Va., and it ia thought that the : matter is amicably adjusted. The fact of the matter is that the tax on each different kind of piano theysellmay be paid to any one sheriff in ) the State instead of to the State Treasurer, and this gives him the privilege of sellirg this brand in any part of the State. Tbe pro prietor claimed that he had receipts for every brand sold here and Sheriff Peck offered him the key i to the. room Friday but the proprietor has hot af! this time accepted it.
