ircely known to the majority of your Kug--.li

were slowly passing the 4t-iu.-h buiidiugs at

Tbey have filled in quite a large trat of
grouwl here and are enlarging it all tho while,

The Hides are generally of wood painted gray,

Near the car track they rere putUug up a
floe bronze statuo of Columbus with an In
dian maiitwn, w4iich saiitue was presented by
Mm ex Kmpress Eugenie to the town, and
which has stood in various places in the
vicinity at difTeren- times. Then there were
several work-!Kj, and in one of them they
were very buy putting together machinery
that bad lawn sent nut in pieoes. Wo could
me three dmlge hard at work deepening
and widen;ng thj river, which they iutnd to
use for some distance. Grousing the river,
we soon lost sight of it behind Monkey hill.
Monkey hill in tlm cemetery of iVspinw-aM; it
Ik q.iiie high, stcop, a id there are somo tree
upon it. A few graves are foncel about anJ
seemingly caoxl for, but m st of them wer
marked by a dilapidated wooden cross, and
appeared as if the uriforru nates hail died of
wme malignant di.sea.ie, and their fiiendj
buryiug them out of the way had forgottei
them. It was desolate, and even soeiueil ti
lack the luxuriant tropical growth tiiao novi
began to gi-ect us on both sides of the way.
Everything that met my eyoa was strangu,
from tha tall, fioweruig treea to tho low lilio
in tbo ditches, except, perhaps, the while
spider lily of which I had neon a few it
Florida. There were wild bananas and
cocoanute:, tall palms frith, long bunches ol
bright red wlnis, oil nuts, tamarind trees,
with many scarlet blossoms that showed
clearly against the small pointed glass
leaves, strange ferns, and numerous othci
beautiful growths that I could not find ou)
tbo names of. The wholo made a donst
jungle, and about aud around flitted hundred!
of butterflies, the most striking of which
were as large as my hand and of a bright
metallic blue.
J was astonished to find the train stopping
at different stations, as I had never read 01
heard of there beiac; any before, ro I took
down the names of some, and give them foi
the edification of those who are ignorant as )
was. They are Chagres, Puolo, Buona Vista
Mamel.Gorgona, Haut Obispo, Bus Obispo and
Rio Grande Superieure. They were all coin
iied of a few well-built buildings belonging
to the French, a nice house for the station
master, and a lot of native Luts scattered
about promiscuously. These huts were mad
af poles stuck in the ground and cross pole
tied to them at the top with strips of
rawhide, and these top poles supported a
heavy thatched roof made of cane and banana
leaves. Tbo sides were covered with split
cane; sometimes woven like bosket work, and
this was tied on with strings of any kind.
Very few of them boasted of more than one
room, but there were generally a uumber ol
small children playing around tlie fire, and
numbers of their elders outside watchrig the
train. In these gatherings tho men wore
breech, the women volam no;n trailing cal
ico skirts and chemise made of coarse curtain
laoe. Tho children generally wore nothing.
Tt anu'dent French superintendent of tin
canal was on the train and I enjoyed very
much txlkiug with him, as well as the noise
of the train would allow, about lus work. In
stead 0 Iieing, as some inline suppose, a pon
derous, elderly gentleman, he was tall, slight,
acd may perhaps have seen 40 years, but be
did not look it. His light brown hair was
still unstreaked with gray, and he had lot
none of hi inherent French oliteueas during
a two years rwsilauoo in a comparative wild
erness. Thair route is not nly well planned
and surveyed, but cleared of undergrowth
no srtmll task and they have been leveling
the higliett places that they must cross on the
divide. They are dredginT iu Fox river, al
ready having a depth of thirty feet on the
bar, which is all they wish. Thev h ive 8,000
men at work, mostly negroes. Tuey pay $U
a bead for them landud at Colon (as be and
all Frenchmen call AspinwalD. in addition to
which they receive $1 a day wages.
All necessary lntfliings, such as quarters
and hospitals, are finished, and whenever it
is possible tbey aro placed 00 a a eminence 01
slope. They have been very fortunate so far,
only losing on an average one man a day.
Five died the day before at Colon of fever,
and when the wind blew down the Cimgre?
river he said it was very deadly. If no epi
demic should occur he hoped next year tc
bnv something to show for the imnvjnsc
unms expended, but ho would not venture an
opinion as to when the gigantic task wonld
be accomplished. He was very warmly
dressed, alth.vigh the day was sultry, and
said that he found it necessary to dress
warmly and lead a very regular life, abstain
iug from all alcoholic drink. He said tht
overseers at tin interior posts were too apt to
forget ami make tho time pass, but that
meant death.
The deepest cutting is to be 307 feet, and
near this they are constructing a large reser
voir to re-eive the overflow of tha Cbagre
and prevent a freshet in the rainy season.
We are told that in 1S7S the railway had
thirty iml"S of track under water, and a
heavy iron bridge was lifted and turned
11-rxmd by this same river. It was appar
ently a much dreaded stream, but now wai
quietly rolling along well within its banks,
the water very muddy, an 1 its surface was
frequently dotted with dugouts and other
native lioata.
The canal follows the line of the railway
elosely until it nears Panama, when it tumi
dightiy to the eastward and ccraw out at a
plaw ca'led Ancon.
We looked under the ties of the railway
for tho Irishmen that are said to lie one un
der each tie, but they were not visible. W
saw frequent wrecks of cars, however, anc
vere informed that wo were fortunate to get
over without running off the track, as it was
frequent ccurrenee, but seldom resulted
.11 the injury of a n y one, as they go so slowly.

A MILLIONAIRE'S MEANHE33.
A !el oT A. T. Htwnrt's Doins
How Be nan Iteniein'-ered.
Joe Howard in f. rton Her.ihL
A very unpleasant story is told of St.iwarf a
dealing witli the man who furnished the mar
ble. According to report, the contract was
made for a certain priee. It was during the
bard times, when everybody was si-raping
and worrying, and the contractor soon found
that he was not only not going to make
money by the operation, but was likely to
lose everything he had. He laid the facts lie
fore Mr. Stewart, who coolly replii! that he
had nothing m do with that; that, if affairs
had gone in another !' region, so that the
conrrnrtor would have midu treble or quad
ruple what his anticipation was, be. Stewart,
would have been uo way b -neSt' -1, but' would
have been bound by his eontrnct. Liter on
the contractor came to him and told Inirt that
he had spent every dollar he b.-id and he had
yet much to do. Whereupon Stewart said
that he would advance him the iu.-ney upon
a mortgage, and did so.
Tlie man went on and complete"! hia agree
ment, and thn, never dreaming that Mr.
Stewart cared to hold the quarry, went to
bim hoping to b thaniied and have things
made easy, instead of which Mr. Stewart
told linn be must have either his money or
the quarry. The contractor told Ins wife of
it, and she said: "Why, nonsense, Mr.
Stewart cannot be such a man as that. I
will go down rith you." They went to
gether, and, an tho gossip runs, Mr. S:e.-.irt's
response to the womanly intere-t of her
busliaii l was so brutal thnt the man fell. lead
ia the office. How much troth there is in
that story I do not know, but it is very gen
erally believed, and I havo heard it in many
places. If it is true,, it is simply an illustra
tion of the fact that with Mr. Stewart at all
time ami in all plae business was business,
what be j;ave he gave, what he loaned be
loauei, but what he advanced 011 a mortgage
lie held utile the money was repai'i.
It is will known th it Mr Stawa-t wad
very fn of their old home on Fifth avenue,
and gorgeous as the new one is. regal in its
port, sumptuous in its adornment and won
derful in its convenience, the Stewarts in it
passed no happy days. Hardly had they
moved in when the sapping of tlw old man's
uatu'-e l-ogan. terminating in that imposi lg
ceremony w hich Ihm? his coffined bone to the
churchyard so soon thereafter desecratl
and. by the way, I wonder if auyliodv knows
or cares where th old man's bones are. I
never wil I forget, if I live to the ;o o(
Methuselah, coming to the bulletin In mrd of
Tlie Commercial Advertiser as I was walking
up Fiilton street, and seeing it surrounded by
u laughing, hilarious crow-1, who read uion
ittheaiinounceiiientth.it thieves had stolen
Stewart's lio.ly during the proceding uiht.
There was nor a word of sympathy, of regret,
or anything but a kind of ainusd 'gl id-of-it.."
ami tho grimiing face.a of all sorts and
conditions of hko ov er chat frightf ul and,
