That immense river is navigable by the heaviest naval ves- sels as far up as the city of Bolivar, nearly 400 miles from the ocean; and within this distance the river receives the waters of some twenty-one others, most of which are navigable. Above the point at which the Orinoco turns southward it receives, on its eastern side alone, some ninety other rivers, two or more of which are navigable to thi confluents of the Amazon. While on its western side, above the point named, the Orinoco receives the waters of thirty-one more rivers, many of which are navigable, and nearly all of which extend to the re- motest interior of the continent “These facts reveal a startling signiti- cance to England’s efforts to control the mouth of the Orinoco, The navigable outlet of that great river ts the key to more than a quarter of tne whole South American con- tinent, and, being the natural avenue of ex- terior comme its dominion by Great Britain could hardly fail, in the process of time, to work radical changes in the com- mercial relations and political institutions of at least three of the South American republics, _ Through considerations of prudenc in the hope that more just and conserva- tive couns might ultimately prevail in the Briush cabinet, Venezuela has not, up to the present, sought to resist. the and ressions by force.

But otherwise the sit auins unchanged. Unable to essfully resist these persistent en- creachments Venezuela appealed to the moral sense of the civilized world in the hope of inducing the British government, through the mediation of friendly powers, to submit the questi to arbitration. The United States goverment has not been indifferent to these oft-repeated _solicita- tions, nor could it affgrd to be. It has more than’ once suggested ‘arbitration, but hith- erto these friendly #uggestions ‘have been unheeded by England. It has now become a question of deep concern whether under all the circumstances and in view of the Monroe declaration<of 182% a more ad- vanced and decided step would not be justi- ble. The, \esuee inyolyed in this controversy effect directly thtee of the South American republics, and indirectly ail the others. And they very sensfbly effect the traditional policy and commercé of the United States. Manifestly, the wlt¢fMlor purpose of Great Britain is to obtain~permanent control of the mouth of the Orinoco river; and a glance at any good map of the country will show what that means. “The South Amerjgan continent, by its pecullar configuration, is naturally divided into three immense valleys—the Orino the Amazon and the Plata. Each of these valleys is a complete network of fluviatile navigation, open from the sea to the re- t interior of the continent. Those of juayaquil, Atrato and Magdalena are nificant in comparison; for the chain s, extending from Patagonia, An along the Pacific,and thence eastward along the Caribbean to the Gulf of Paria, con- stitute a natural barrier to the interior. But there are no mountain chains traversing the continent from east to west; no natural bi ‘3 to communication between the great valleys of the Orinoco, Amazon and Plata; and those three immense rivers com- nunicate by distinct bifurcations, Hence, the dominion of the mouth of either by such a power as England would, in the course of time, and as a natural sequence, open the way to pretensions over the others.

From the Scientific American. ia course of transit between New York and New Orleans a packet of paper money had been opened and its contents consid- erably reduced. Two of the seals had been broken and one had been resealed by thumb pressure. Mr. Carvalho, an expert in mat- ters of identification, endeavored to find out the thief, and with this view obtained wax impressions of the thumbs of all the officials of the American Express Company through whose hands the packet was known to have passed The impressions were phote- kraphed and enlarged, and one of them clearly agreed with an enlarged photograpa of the thumb-impressed seal. The thief was thus detected. see Capt. W. C.
