Waterway of Corinth Canal conceived six centuries BC
A fragment discusses the Corinth Canal's ancient concept dating back to Periander of Corinth, later revived by Julius Caesar, Caligula, Nero, and finally completed in 1881 under Gen. Turro Aldecamp and Victor Emmanuel, noting the four mile, 68 foot bottom width, and 26 foot two inch deep passage. It highlights its challenging entrance and strong currents, its time savings of 122 miles and 20 hours, and lingering shippers' prejudice. The piece also advertises One Minute Cough Cure by Mrs. G. B. Fenner and local notices on sheep range leasing.
