Prof. Todd, would be either exulting or lamenting on account ot the success or failure of the ?y eclipse expedition to "West Africa. "If it ' was cloudy," said the doctor, "and the ex- '..: pedition failed to accomplish anything, ' Prof. Todd will no doubt be found some- '.'"

THE NATUBALISTS HAMPEEED. "In the interests of science, as well as for the sake ot my friend Todd, I hope the as tronomical work of the expedition will be a success, because I apprehend that the work ' . of the naturalists, labor they never so dili gently, will not be ot sisnai importance be cause of the brief time at their disposal in , "which to make collections and because of the unfortunate location o! the expedition.' jM-lll-S' i .... -., j-ri-'v-tfr-- :-H-iw: VIEW OP ST.

Brown Goode, the Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, has kindly sent me a letter wtrritten by Mr. Brown from the Cape Verde islands, in which he bewails the fact that 'the stay in Angola is to be so brief. A-VTEaiNriELD. m Mr. Chatelain, the interpreter of the ex pedition, who lived there for three years, says that the region is an excellent one for ..the collector. The doctor here said that from his knowledge of the subject Mr. Chatelain's opinion was undoubtedly cor rect, althongh Mr. Chatelain is not a naturalist. Continuing, he said: "Upon the occasion of their call at the Cape Verde Islands, the party succeeded in making some collections of fishes and shells. The probability is that at each of ' the stops which will be made after leaving Angola, and which will be at Cape Town, ,Ascension Islands, St Helena, St Paul's Bocks and Barbadoes, the Cape Verde ex perience will be repeated, and quite a mass of interesting material brought together. For my part I am very thankful that I did riot go, as many things have happened which have demonstrated that for me to .have left my borne at the time I should bare been compelled to leave, would have been' highly unfortunate for myself as well as 'others. I have not, however, given up the jqeaoi C JyisrriNO the daek continent, and'if life and health are spared I expect in ia:few"years to do what I failed to do upon .this occasion.

A, beautiful and touching service was that held by Lieutenant James M, Lysle, Post 028, G. A. E., in the Arch Btreet M. E. Church, Allegheny, yesterday after noon. Six members of the post have died during the year. It was in commemoration of the death of these" comrades that the memorial Service was held; , Back of the chancel were placed six chairs, draped in black, bearing the names of Will iam B. Smith, Company B, First Pennsyl vania Artillery. James E. Crow, Company G, One Hundred and Ninety-third Pennsyl vania Volunteer's; James. Swails, Company G, Eighty-third Pennsylvania Volunteers; Henry Eberle, Company B, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers; George Zieg, Ctfmpany B, Sixty-first Pennsylvania Vol unteers; John Glover, Park Battery. The chairs were flanked on either side by waving tropical plants and the post, State and na tional flags bound to their staffs with broad bands ot crepe. The central portion of the church was reserved for the veterans and friends of the deceased comrades. The services opened with a solemn dirge by Prof. Priqhard.. Adjutant Louis Horst then read the records of the dead. As the closing words of tb'&records were pronounced the swelling notes of the bugle sounding "taps" filled the church with sweet melody. The post choir rendered .several selections. The address was delivered by Department Commander Thomas J. Stewart He said: "There is no monument of marble, no shaft of granite, no tablet of bronze exposed to the gaze to express our grief, but there is this silent and all-conclusive proof of our affection for the memory of our dead com rades. Words ome unbidden at such a time to signify our love for the dead. None but generous words can be said to pay the last tribute tf affection, the admiration of their valor and patriotism. Six empty chairs, which mean six deaths, six graves, six dead soldiers and six new recruits up above. When in answer to the call, they went forward to the front to defend our homes, our country and our flag, to fight for the honor and truth of mankind,they showed by their devotion they were true as steel. Human sacrifice had to be made, but not until thousands had starved to death in rebel prisons, thousands had filled unknown graves and every privation was endured, was peace declared at Appomattox and lib erty proclaimed through all the hand. For this they fought, and now these whom we mourn to-day h'ave'at last been laid to rest, having lived long enough to see their coun try the grandest one on earth. "An Old Showman Drlnc.

Roughen and Catchers Meet to Consider the Question of Wages. Trie roughen .and catchers employed in some of the Soutbside mills held a meeting yesterday in Imperial Hall. Nothing of a definite character could be ascertained relative to what transpired, but as it is known that the men are dissatisfied with their present earnings, it is saidjbysome that the meeting was held to concert some means looking to an increase. One member said that a conference was being held to consider the scale to be laid before the Amalgamated Association when the consid eration or next year s wage-rates' comes up. The rougbers, catchers and heaters, and trie common laborers employed In connection, with their work, are hired by the roller, who pays them according to a stated scale. Boughers and catchers are each paid 12U per cent of Nthe value of the work, while the heater receives 25 per cent, leaving the roller CO per cent, ont of which he has to pay the common laborer. It is said that the roughers and catchers claim that they should receive as much as the heaters, a claim which the roller will hardly concede, since it would leave him but 25 percent out of which to pay his other labor and for profit Secretary Martin, of the "Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, said yesterdaytfiat the proper course for the men to purine was to discuss the question in their lodges and submit any propositions they should arrive at to the association for inser tion in the annual programme. -1M A CRDSADE ANKITERSART.

Aikenft Co.'s, lee Fifth ave. sss VIEWED BOTH WATS. Continued from First ibffe. Fallston, across the river, and in Fallston the works or W. P. Townsend & Co., manufact urers of rivets and wire nails, and the machine EhopoIiLDarragti. built, oveb THE'LOCK." On the New Brighton side of the river a por tion ot the keg factory of M..-T. S. Kennedy Is built on top of the lower lock, the lock now being used for a f onndation Mr. Bobert Ken nedy says that a canal would probably run him ont of his New Brighton site;' but he would be willing to go for the general good, provided he waspaid enough for it. The canal would not ben efit his works inuclUs he gets all his timber up tho Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, ana ships principally to theIast. He thlnlts the State should pay liberally toward the construc tion ol a ship canat Another railroad along the Beaver and Mahoning valleys. Mr. Ken nedy thinks, will pay at once npon its comple tion, because the present railroads can pot ne gro to take all the business tbat is offered. Mr., Bentley, of Bcntley A Gerwig. of the twine mill, says that tho construction of a ship canal might ruin his plant, as it certainly would, If the canal came along the old route; but ho want to see it built His tonnage is not heavy, but it Is extensive, and many ol tne shipments are made to the West. To get more favorable freight rates thecompany frequently ships goods to Erie by rail during the summer months, and then reships by schooners or lake tlonal Government and the State should build the canal in conjunction with each other. One, great advantage of a ship canal would be that in case of war with Canada war vessels could bebniltat Wttsbnrg and sent upthxoughjtne canal to the lakes. . . The two flour mills do not have an extensive business, and get but little of thelr grain from the West , PLANING AND OIHEB MILLS. Ot the two lumber and planing mill firms, McBonnel & McLain do a business ot 20.00U.OOO feet of lumber per year' from the Northwest, and they are anxious to see a ship canal In order to bnng down freight rates. Tho Logan 4 Strobridgo Iron Company, so Mr. C. G. Robinson, the general manager, says, would not be much .aflected by a ship canal, as' their shipments are chiefly to the iSast and South.' They do a business of about seven tons per day for every day in the year. A canal might be of some benefit to them in getting in iron, coke, copper and lumber, bnt not in the way of outgoing freight Mr. Robinson thinks the State should pay part of the cost ol tne canal. The Standard Horse Nail Works would not be greatly benefited directly by a canal, but Mr. Charles Merrick, the President of the com pany, wants to see one built He thinks the Government should do all the work, as the State could not afford to do it, and the canal would be of national and not merely local or State importance. Mr. Myler, of Dawes fc Myler. manufactur ers of hollow ware, says that the canal would be of great benefit to them in getting in iron. The tonnage or the factory Is about SJi tons per day coming in, and the same amount going out but the outgoing freight; cousistlng of finished goods, will take three times as many cars as the incoming freight whleh is heavy and compact It costs about 60 cents a ton on incoming freight, as against about SO on tho outgoing classes. Both Mr. Myler and Mr. Dawes heartily favor the State paying a large part of the cost of the canal. AS TO GLASS AND SEWEE PIPE. Of tbe two glass works in New Brighton the Ditbridge lS"the larger, employing between 250 and 500 hands. Tbe only way that the manager thinks the canal would be of direct benefit to the works would be on Western shipments, and they are not heavy. He wants the Government to pay all the cost At the New Brighton Glass Company's office Mr. C. A Bigelelr said that a canal, or any thing else that would give competitive freight tariffs would be welcomed, and he favored State aid to the canaL Tbe capacity of the works is about one and a half carloads per day. Tbe biggest concern in New Brighton is tbe Plttsbnnr Sewer Pine Works. It is about a mile and a half up Blockhouse run, on which are also located all tbree ot tbe potteries, tbe fire brick yards and tbe New Brighton Glass Factory. The freight of tbe sewer pine works will average 10 'carloads per day, of outgoing and incoming freight Mr. Brown, the man ager, Is not decided upon the question ot State aid. The tbree potteries are: Everson, Sherwood & Barker, with 400 carloads a year of output (Mr. Barker wants a canal, but thinks the snr plns in tbe National treasnry should pay for It, and not tbe State); Sherwood Bros., with an output of a carload per day, and favoring lares State aid, and tbe Enterprise Pottery Company, with 150 carloads per year, with. Mr. F. H.jgmehfield. the treasurer, believing in State 'aid. Mr. Btucbfieia says xhe railroad companies wantthe eartb, and discriminate so much aeainst such f relgbt as potteries furnish, that he wants a canal. ALL PAVOB STATE AID. Of the three fire brick yards, that of A.F. Smith & Co. is the largest - and 'Ships aboa 20,000 brick per day, besides large quantities ot raw clay, much of which goes to Canada. Mr. Smith wants the State to do a good-deal toward building the canal. Orer In Fallston Mr. Townsend, of W P. Townsend & Co., rivets and wire nails. Bays their business amounts to-about 8,000 tons per year. Tbty are nsing natural gas; but when they are compelled to use coal, which will be soon, tbe i'.nnage will be greater. He has no opinion to express about State aid. M. Darragn. of the machine shops, has his foundry at Bridgewater, and the tonnage bere is light He wants a ship canal, for several reasons, hut thinks It Is Impracticable because the dams would have to be so high tbat it would drown out some of the valuable low lands along the route.
