Congressman' Snider of this dis trict recently told Congress what ought to be done about enlarging and repairing the Soo canal. Fer- ap the most astonishing piece f information wa that which howed the rate of increae in the anal traffic. The value of the argoe that passed through the canal in was Do,-t i o,-n z and in 189 it had increased to S3,732,2'27. One gets some idea of the magnitude of Lake Supe- rior's commerce frfm the fact that the tonnage which went through the canal in 1SS9 exceeded all that was handled in the seaports of the United States by 10,00,X0 tons. One of Congressman Sni der' calculation is most interest ing. He snowed that in trans- parting this commerce to the east- i ern end of Lake trie the saving by water carriage instead of rail road would amount to f 42.000,( km). Shipbuilding on the lake has nearly doubled in three years. Australasian. Tk NiaafMla rV of Alaaalaaaa ttaWar-.

Does the science of our day re cognize any suffic ient basis for the doctrine of immortality i " To be," savs Lotze," "means to stand in relation;" that is to say, what anything is or is to become is not determined simply by its own na ture, but also by the' sphere of its relations, and by the objects with which it is related by means of correspondence. " All organic beings, says Darwin, "have been formed on two great laws unity of type and the conditions of ex istence. In fact, the conditions of existence is the higher law." That is to say, the permanence and the perfection of every or ganic being depends upon its find ing and fulfilling the conditions of its exiftence. According to biological and psychological science, there are two conditions which must be realized- if there be an eternal life. There must be an appropriate, eternal and un changeable environment with which livins heinirs mar corres pond, if moral, mental, and vital powers are to exist forever. Sec ond, there must be, in any created being, a capacity of entering into correspondence with such an en vironment, and the attainment of such correspondence, if it is to endure forever. If there is in the universe no form of existence but such as i changeable, transient, and perishable, there can be no eternal correspondence,and, there fore, no eternal life. If there is any creature which has capacity only to correspond with that which is transient and perishable, there can be for that creature no eternal life. Science demands that there should be an 'eternal underlvini; being, and relation and correspondence with that be ing, a the condition of perfect and permanent life. Spencer savs : "Perfeet.correspomlencc would be perfect life. Were there no change in the environment but such as the organism had adapted changes to meet, and were it never to fail in the efficiency with which it met them, there would be eter nal existence and eternal knowl edge." According to this scien tific conception only that which enters into correspondence with abiding environment would abide; for, a Darwin say, "Natural se lection acts so as to produce that which endures." And Lotze says : "That will last foreveV w hich, ac cording to its excellence and its spin', must be an abiding part of the order of the universe. What lacks that preserving worth will perish." According to these scientific oonditions, perfect and permanent correspondence with a perfect and permanent environ ment would constitute and secure immortal life. This scientific basis of eternal life is precisely the basis upon which the Scrip tures base the doctrine of Chris tian immortality. Wm. W. Mc Lane. MEDICAL. Bnatfwn la W hooping- oua;t. Dr. Hugo Lowenthal.of Profes sor Seirator's clinic in Berlin, has tried bromoform, says the Lancet, in the treatment of whooping cough, it having been recom mended by Dr. Stepp, of Nurn berg, and h is disposed to agree with him in considering it a very valuable remedy. Dr. Lowenthal says that it exerts an almost spe cific action uyOn whooping cough, at all evenf-, it it is used at the commencement. A hundred children were treated with it, varying in age from eight weeks to seven years. The doses given were from two to five drops three or four times a day. The liquid was simply dropped into a table sioonful of water, and formed a bead floating in the water. The quantity dispensed at once was about a drachm. The parents were cautioned to keep the bromoform from the light, as otherwise it is liable to be decomposed. As a rule the good effects of the medi cine began to show themselves on the second or third day, the vom iting being arrested within a week after the commencement of the bromoform. In cases where com plications, such as pneumonia, oc curred, they ran a favorable course and where- there were relapses, a return to the bromoform soon ar rested the symptoms. -In a very few cases the drug appeared to produce sleepiness and lassitude, and in one case, that of a weakly child a little over a year old, where a drachm had been given in the' course of three daysf a semi-comatose condition w"as induced." Subcutaneous injections of 'ether revived the child, who was found to have pneumonia. This, how ever, tan a rapid and favorable course, and afterward the whoop ing cough was successfully treated bv renewed doses of bromoform. FlBwt Wajr to Catch. Malar! M. You people who are afraid of malaria have strange ideas of the diease," says a physician in the Xew York .Tribune. "You think that if you climb a mountain and build there, or that if you live on the 6lope of a hill where the drain age is perfect, you are safe. Then counting on this you sit around in the evening air with no cover ing on your head, or you &leep with a window so near the head of your bed that a current oj damp air 'blows over you all night.

After allowing a century to pass without protest or complaint, theheirsof Benjamin Franklin, b- right of descent, have' now be gun a contest of the philosopher's will in a Philadelphia court. Ihe objective points are two trust funds left to the cities "of Boston and Philadelphia, which have ac cumulated since Franklin's death, in 1790, until they now amount, respectively, to $400,000 and $100,000, and the descendants of Franklin demand that these shall be distributed among them. Mavor Hart, of Boston, was ves terday served with an order by the heirs in that city, warning him to hold the funds and to dis pose of them only on their order. It is pleasant to note that no charge of "undue influence" or weak ness of mind is made against the famous testator, so that we are not likely to have the bones of the patriot, which have rested quietly for a hundred years, dis turbed or his memory clouded by anv sensational scandal, such as the ordinary will contest usually brings forth. The claim for the distribution is made on the al leged legal point that, as the funds were not instituted as chari ties, the testator could not provide for their continuance for a longer period than, twenty-five years, and that thev must therefore now revert, by the force ef common law, to the heirs. The trial of the suit, which has already been institnted in Philadelphia, is 6ure to awaken widespread interest, and will probably develop some important legal principles relat- ing to the powers of testators generally.

Near our plantation lived a famed Acadian, named Pierre Landry. When he was a boy he had seen Lafitte, and many tales of this bold bucaneer were tradi tional in his family. I had heard much of this old man; and, being curious to 6ee him, set out with the intention of taking a photo graph of himself and his family, and of perhaps getting some in teresting matter relating to La fitte. About three miles from the entrance gate of our plantation runs the Bayou Petite Anse. Its low banks are fringed with tall, gaunt cypress trees, hung with tangled vines and droopine moss, It would have had a mysterious and even dismal look but for the few quaint little houBes scattered throughout the woods. ' Some of these are painted with faded pink wash, others are colored yellow, with blue and green window shutters, and some are white, giv ing the place a more cheerful look. The little salmon-colored store and postoffice is situated near a long and rambling bridge, made of cypress logs and earth embankment. Strung along this crossing on a Sunday ase to be seen from ten to a dozen negro women and children fishing in the bayou. This is a holiday for them and they are dressed-in their best attire clean blue cotton jeans' in various faded shades, according to the age of the material ; some in deep sun bonnets, and others, generally the older branches of the family, with their heads done up ii gaudy col ored bandannas. Upon tha west ern side of this bayou stands a picturesque cottage with, a high gabled roof, and on its Wide porch covered with rose vines and hon- evsuckle, sat Pierre Landry and his wife and daughter. The old man could not walk, and had been wheeled out in his chair to enjoy the. lovely spring morning. He was a fine specimen of an Acadian patriarch; his com plexion was of a rich brown, and his snow-white hair floated about his reverend brow. He had been for years the. arbitrator in all questions of importance; Jamong his people a grand old peace maker, whose wisdom and justice settled the petty and important ouarrels of his more irritable neighbors with unerring justice; and many misunderstandings that would have lapsed into ruinous lawsuits were arranged by him without a murmur from either plaintiffs r defendants, so that the attorney of the village looked upon him as a mortal toe, and on one occasion threatened to sue him for damages. There was a cheerful aspect about the place: the birds were singing, the bees were .buzzing amid the flowers, and the whirl of a spinning-wheel upon the porch, turned by old Landry's daughter, cave the spot a home like look that told of love and peace. As we entered the little garden gate Madame rose from her chair, and with rustic French politeness invited us to enter. "Entrez, monsieur," she said, in kindlv tones. 1 told her the in tention of our visit; she seemed pleased, and said, through her .... lii overseer, that sne naa oeen in formed of it and was quite ready. She then began arranging her husband, her daughter, and her self into what would have been, I am afraid, a rather stiff family group. I told her there was no hurry, and that I preferred she should take her former position, and I would wait .until some fit ting picture should present itself. I asked the driver to tell her that my visit was not one of mere idle curiosity, but that I had heard what an interesting character her husband was, and as the. house was so quaint and pretty I had, taken a iancy to pnoiograpn and give the picture to some mag azine for illustration, and that then they would -become quite famous. - She laughed at this and whis pered something to her husband, who looked at us in a dazed and bewildered kind of a way as if he did not quite understand what was going -on. She patted him cheerfully on the back and seem ed quite childlike m her joy at the prospect of becoming histori cal. In chatting about various matters I asked her if her hus band were ill. "Oh, no," said she; "but old, very old not able to walk now." And the tears came into her honest eyes. Her daughter knelt upon the steps and looked up into her father's face. "My darling husband," the wife continued; "we have been married, many years. He has been all his life so goodr&o brave, so noble my own dear Pierre." She laid her hand upon his shoulder, and, half turning her head from me, looked down upon him with as much affection as she could have done upon her wedding-day. Now was the time. "Stay that way for a moment," I said and the picture was taken. She could scarcely believe it was over, never having seen the operation before, and wanted to look at the picture at once. I told her that she must wait and that I would bring the picture at some future time; and so we part ed. Just pne year after this my wife and myself, driven by our overseer, stopped at the garden gate in front of this same cottage. How glad I was that I had taken the picture and could give it into the hands of Pierre Landry's widow; for in the mean time he had been called away to plead his own cause in another world, and if virtue and honestv be weighed in the balance there, the. chances are that he has been acquitted. The place looked much the' same, but there was a curious stillness about it that seemed almost sacred or I fancied 60. The roses and honeysuckles of the year before had gone, like him who reared the vine; but new ones were in their place, and old Madame Landry sat in her husband's chair upon the porch. Coming down to greet us with some flowers in her hand to give my wife for the driver had told her we were coming she was about to hand them when I gave her the picture. The dear old woman for a moment seemed pbewildered, the freshly gathered flowers fell unheeded at her feet, and, gently kissing the likeness of her husband, she burst into tears and sank upon her kness ; then clasping the picture closely to her bosom, she cried out, "O my dar ling, my own, my noble Pierre ! you have come back to me." My wife and I looked into each other's faces with moistened eyes, and, respecting her sacred sorrow, stepped quietly into the carriage and drove away. As I glanced back I saw the dear old woman had risen from the ground and was tottering towards the gate. AVith one hand she clasped the picture to her heart, waving the other almost wildly overhead in an ecstacy of grief and joy. A6 we passed the corner of the field the driver pointed to a mound marked 'by a simple cross and covered with blooming roses. Blanebe Rooaevelt. For this little story of a tribute to the beauty of Blanche Roose velt, the New York Press is au thority : "The" one among all of the New York women abroad who perhaps occupies the mosj enviable position, in both literary and social circles is Mme. Blanche Roosevelt Machetta She is young, beautiful, gifted, and a favorite with nearly all the crowned heads of Europe. An unusually dainty compliment was paid to her not very long.ago by the Russian ambassador, who, when leaving for London, asked the czarina what gift he should bring her upon his return. She replied, 'The photographs of six of the most beautiful ladies in London.-' The gentleman secured the photographs and had them appropriately tramed and grouped with a head of the Princess of Wales in the centre, surrounded by five smaller ones, which proved to be portraits of Blanche Roosevelt in different poses, and the czarina was so well pleased that she immediately sent as a gift to Mme. Machetta a valuable scart of Kussian lace, bhe JVime Machetta) was a warm personal friend of the late Wilkie Collins, who was deeply interested in the fair American s literary work. The Queen of Rtfumahia, Carmen Sylva, some while ago gave to Mme. Roosevelt the right of translation for England and America of her latest work,known as In, der Irre one of Carmen Sylva's greatest literarysuccesses. At the request, of the queen, Blanche Roosevelt has translated both poetry and prose from the original German text, and pre faced the whole with a fine lit erary memoir of Carmen Sylva. The work is magnificently illus trated. The same charming writer has nearly completed her play of The Copper Queen, made from Victorien Sardou's dramatic study of her celebrated novel of the same name, and she has also finished a three-volume novel en tMedAT TataTlLegacy, of which the late Wilkie Collins wrote and spoke in the highest praise, and which cannot' fail to add to the established reputation of the au thor. Mme. .Machetta has been living in a chalet at Monte Carlo during the -past season, and, like William Black and other-novel ists, accomplishes her best work at night, when all the world is at rest. THE XTSTICAL SEA. O love, I'm. wandering back to-day Through the valleys of memory ; They lie betwixt mountains far away. The mountains of Hope and of Youth are they, And Tm dreaming again of that night, to-day, . By the mystic southern sea. O love, I loved you that far-off night By the mystical southern sea. The breeie was light and the stars were bright. And the sea-gulls flashed in their circling flight, As we sat alone, on that far-off night, When you whispered your love for me. Oh, I kissed your bps, and I clasped your hands. By that mystical southern sea, While softly the waves were kissing the . sands, And ships went a-sailing to distant lands, And I kiseed your lips, and I clasped your hands, - - When you whispered your love to me. O love, a storm has swept the shore Of that mystical southern sea ; , The waves still kiss as they kissed before ; But the ships' that sailed will return no more. And the youth, and the love, and the hopes of Tore Will nrrar come back to me. Albeit B. Pain. NEWS FROM THE STATES. (WITH f A ROUS A.
