of whom, whilo full of hope, still
feared untoward chances or unforeseen
obstacles.
To cxpatinto upon tho advantages

of our day and generation, would bo

PRINCIPLES
CLEARFIELD, PA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8.
and after generations remember will,
gratitude, whilo in tho well-won sue
cess of Ferdinand do Lesseps, tbo pro
jeetor and engineer, whose persever
ance, in spito of all original discour
agements, hns, at last, placed him on
the roll of tho benefactors of mankind,
wo hail nnotber example of intolli
genco, conriige, mid constancy, finally
rewarded by tho acclamation of the
world to which wo may cxultlngly
point Iho gnzo of J'oung aspirants for
truo renown.
The wholo couimo of tbo great Canal
from tbo Mediterranean to tho Ped
Sea, is exactly 100 kilometers, or 100
miles. It bus an average width of
328 feet, the width at the base is 2-10
feet, and tho depth of water 26 feet
The ocean screw steamships arc about
45 in tho beam, and our largo paddlo
wlirel steamships 85 feet nt tho widest.
Most lurge English vessels draw about
24 to 25 feet of water, but tho tenden
cy is now in favor of vessels of less
draught. These particulars will show
the capacity of tho Cantil. Tho entire
coKloftlic general construction to June
30th, was 05,000,000, gold. The pop.
ulation of the Isthmus has increased
from 150 in 1819 to 50,000 in 180!).
The northern entrance of tho Cnnul
is situated on the eastern shore of the
Mediterranean, 124 miles north of
Alexandria. Tho site of this town
was ten years ago nothing more than
an arid, dreary waste, affording no
anchorage or iholtcr for shipping. A
port was required for tho ships arriv
ing from Kuropo, and there was no
alternative but to form ono at the
initial point of tbe canal, now Port
Said, where a magnificent harbor has
been created. Thousands of miles of
voynge will bo saved to tho commerce
ol nations by this canal. Thus the
distance from the English Channel to
Calcutta, via tho Ciipe of Good Hope,
by tho route taken by tho best sailing
vessels, Is about 13,000 miles; via tho
Mediterranean and Suez Canal, it is
about 8,000 miles; gain in distance by
Iho latter to or from Calcutta, 5,000
miles. I5y tho Cnpn routo to liomhny,
the distance is 11..VI0 miles; by the
Red Sea routo, fl,200 miles; gain in
distance, to or from Bombay, 5.300
miles. From Xew York to I'ulcnlta
tho distance, by way of tho Canal, is
0,700 miles. Tho voyngo from New
York to Sucr, including detentions nt
tho usual places of call, can bo made
in sixteen days. The opening of the
Canal must evidently bo fuvurablo lo
American commerce. It has been
absurd ciiOngh to purchase Indian
firoduclsin England fur transshipment
tore; but tho economical laws of trade
cannot long sanction our procuring
Eastern products at Liverpool when
a voyage of sixteen days will bring
onr steumships to Slier., and from
thence enable ihetn to trade with the
great entrepots of the Orient on the
same basis as England hcrnclf. Tho
United States will also shnro in the
increased prosperity of tho Mediterra
nean cities, l'.gypt, Arabia, and the
Indies, which must result from the
completion of tho Canal. Already
there is a movement to transfer a
largo share of the cotton industry of
the nortlt ol rraneo una .Northern
Austria to places nearer tho Mediter
ranean. Should, therefore, tho coun
tries bordering on that historic sea
regain their pristine grandeur we shall
shore in their prosperity and advance
ment. Professor J. C. Xourso, United States
Navy, communicates lo tho Xntional
Intilliijcnccr tho first of a series of
articles on tho great Canal. 1'roles-
sor Nourse thinks it promises an en-
tiro revolution in navigation in the
Enst, breaking up the routo by the
Cnpo of Uootl Hope, and specuuy
allecting thero an almost enure suu-
dilution of steam niarino for sailing
vessels. Commerce in tho East is
looking to the curliest practical results
of an unbroken voyage irom Liverpool
to Cnnlon in less than lorty nays, in
stead of ono bundled. England is
building new lines of steamers fur lite
Suck navigation, and In this country
a lino of eleamors has been organized
under tho name of the "Mediterranean
and Oriental Steam Navigation Com
pnnr." Profoonoi riourso thinks that
a conn! across tho Isthmus of Dnricn
would even surpass in value thai of
Sue.

A late number of tho Barnc (Sail iter

versally admired as an uilisto, is now
in a financial condition verging on

Tho samo paper upbraids Gold

Tho Oattttc infers thai tho".Swedih

readily listen lo a business proposition
from toino skillful American manager
to make a tour of tbo I nited Mates.
Madamo (iobNchtniilt still preserve
her voice, though its power and com

While she cannot utterly fail as an

OUR SATURDAY NIGHT.
WATCHING, PALE AND WEAIIV.
It wui an hour past dark to-night
when wo left tho ollico lo lind rest for
mind and body, and to sit for an hour
by tho desk to plant a seed by the

Instead of taking u car and coming

Down in a tenement cellar. A dark,
dirty, dingy, dismal, doleful place. No
curtain save ot dirt, protected the poverty-stricken
dwellers in that little
collar from puhlio gaze, llofjre the
window a dozen bovs, girls and men
stood peeping in, and at times laugh
ing, jesting, but still watching. So
we crossed tho street, pushed the
crowd apart, and looked.
Into a cellar. Only a poor woman
on the floor ovor a little form on some
slra-r, over which an old suil cloth
was spread. Her hands were clasped,
her hair hung uncombed over the
rugged dress. A little charcoal fur

chair broken, a small dry goods box,
a littlo dirty tin puil, and a lamp on
tho box was all tlio liirmturo wo saw.
Somo cnino, looked in, and hastened
away. t ho dare intruilo upon the

at tho window grew larger. Our light

just the thing for a curtain So with

Hers was but a simple little story
hut it was the great romance, of a sad
life to her for ull ! Four years ago a
happy young wifo. Sho was loved by
a "good fellow," a gay and free

her for rare beauty and goodness of
heart. They began life as do others.
They ranted u hlllo bouse, and wcro

Woman's Infi.uksct.. It is a won
drous advantage to man, in every pur-
suit or vocation, to sceuro n adviser
in a scnsiblo woman. In woman thero
is at onco a subllo delicacy of fact,
and it plain soundness of judgment,
which nro rarely combined to an
ennal dcirreo in man. A woman, if
sho be really your Iricnd, will havo a
cnsiiivo regard for your character,
honor, repiilo. Sho will seldom roun
scl you to do a shabby thing, for a
woman friend always desires to bo
croud of voti. At the samo timo her
constitutional timidity make her
moro cautious than your male friend
She, therefore, seldom counsels yon to
an imprudent thing. A man's best
f.'inale friend is a w ife of good sense
nnd henrt whom ho loves, nnd who
loves him. But, supposing tho man
to bo without a helpmate, female
friendship lis must still have, or his
intellect will to willioub a gnruen,
and there will bo many an unheeded
trap, even iri its strongest lenco.

he saw there, as well as a lew suggest
ions relative thereto, thnt aro worthy
the head and hearts of a man and a
christian. Speaking of tho Confeder
ate dead, ho says :
"When wo went over that field
last summer, wo were shocked at the
neglect which on evory side forced
itself upon Iho sight. Six years have
gono by, nnd little or nothing has
been done to savo Iho dead from dese
cration and outrage. The low graves
have been laid baro by the elements
the bones having been torn out by
rooting twino. Somo bleached skele
tons aro pointed out by tho guide far
down in crevices of rocks and in the
ravines of tbo Devil's Den. Many
bones have been curried away as
memorials. Some officers lio buried
on tho edgo of the 8clds along the
roadsido, perishing headboards mark
ing tho spot. Wo found pits and
graves in twos and throes around the
points of sharpest conflict. We talk
ed about tho fields at tne foot of Liltlo
Pound Top, nnd at every slop, in
nooks, and under tho edges of rocks,
the driver pointed out superficial
graves. Ho also said that in multi
tudes of rsse examination would show
that Ihe skulls had been carried off.
"Can any supposo that Iho spirit of
patriotism i enriched by a contempt
for tho dead f Shall we sutler neglect
inspired by animosity to jlrolong in

can scarcely bo justified in the sternest
cxegencicS of war!

18 years of age, and of pri-yossessl ng

woman as his wifo. Bequests wcro
mndo of several persons to take the
infant fbr adoption, but no ono would
consent. Ttib last seen of tho porty
they had cntcft-ila piece of woods
about three miles from tho village, and
came out again without tho infant.
Search was instituted, and the ifetd
body of tho infant was foundHinder a
fallon tree. It was about two weeks
old, and its head had been pressed to
gether by hands und not by an instru
ment. Not being able to get any
person to udopt it, tbe parents took
this mean of getting ridof the inff.rtl.
Tho mother of the infant came from
England a short time since in senrch
of Nankervis. She hud beep, reduced
thero by him. We hnve learned that
they were married alter sho arrived
here. Both parties arc intelligent;
and their relatives in Knglnnd are ev
idently of tho better elnsa of people.
On Sultirday last Havukcrvia and
his wifo were arrested at Centralis,
and taken before Daniel L. SUuffur; .
Justice of ihe Peace, in Union town

About two months ago, Pev. B.
P. Crovor, Presiding elder of Danville

ployed a young inun bytbe namo of
Nankervis to take charge of tht) Cen

is known as "Tbo Methodist New

nt tho house until tho next day, when
they started as ho said, for Shiekshin

reached Kuport Station, whore, in the
bur-room of hotel she gave birth to
a child. Nankc.vis returned to Cen

last week; tvhen be went to ltnport,
anil withtho woman' nnd child, on the
following day, started ft'r "cntrnlia,
leaving tlio Cutnwistla train at King

Hcrvington's wheto they remained
over night, bIio saying that her hus
band was a Methodist preacher, at
Centralia, Und thnt she was teaching
school at that place, and that her child
was an incumbrance, and asked, and
even insisted, npon tho family Inking
it and keeping It its their own, which,
however they wero not disposed to do.
They then in the morning sisrted on
their journey, and stopped at a Mr.
Lindcrmiith's and offered tho child on
tho samo conditions, but failed as be
fore. Again lliej-stbpped al another
houso in which lived another Mr. Lin
