Wiiks Potter, Wholesale Druggists, Bostou, Ucntlemen, I have for some months felt it a duty that I owed to suffering humanity to write you, atatlng the great benefit that I have derived from taeuie.

of Hah ford's tudioal Ccbe pob Catarrh. For more than 20 years I have been afflicted with this very troublesome complaint. 1 have tried all tbe remedies tbat I could find, but without material or permanent benefit. Last fall the disease had arrived at that state that I must have relief or die. Tbe entire membranous system had become so inflamed, and tbe stomach so disordered, that It was a doubtful matter whether could go to tbe Pacific coast, or If I did go, whether I should live to come back or not.

saw an advertisem*nt of tbls medicine, and although being very Incredulous about specifics or nostrums of any kind, yet In sheer desperation tried tbls, and at once was benefited by It. The changes of climate, a chronic disease of the liver, and my axe ever 70 may prevent my entire restoration, but the benefit I derive from its dally use is to me Invaluable, and I am hoping to be completely cured, and at last arrive at a respectable old agsl Xf this statement of my case can be of any service to those afflicted as have been, and enable yon to bring this remedy Into more general use, especially on tbe Pacific coast (where it Is much needed), my object in writing this note will be attained. Very truly yours, HENRY WELLS, Aurora, N. June, 1676, of Wells, Fargo ft Co. IT la with the greatest pleasure that we present to the public this hearty endorsem*nt of SAMroRX'a Radical Ccnz ron Catarrh, by Henry Wells, of Wells, Fargo and Express.

The position this gentleman has for ao many years occupied In our business world, and especially in connection with tbe development of that golden country, the Pacific coast, has made bis name known and respected throughout the land. His earnest deeiro that those who know him, and are sufferers from this disease, may be induced to use It we trust may be gratified. Those who do not know blm (and tbty are few) must now feci convinced of the great value uf this remedy. It Is beyond all question the most successful ever compound- eu tor loe ireaunenx oi laiarrn. is preacnueu vj our best physicians.

It is recommended by our lead ing apoinecanes, ana icsumoniaii irom an iuru ui tbe United States attest the esteem In which ft Is held by the thousands who have been enabled by its use to escape the frightful consequences that follow a total neglect of this prevalent ilistaae. Sakporti's Radical Cuaz ron Catarrh Is a safe, certain, and permanent cure for Catarrh of every form, and is the most perfect remedy ever devised. It Is purely a vegetable distillation, and Is applied locally bj insufflation, and constitutionally by Internal administration. Locally applied rthrf it inttantant-out. It soothes, heals and cleanaea the nasal passages of every feeling of heaviness, obstruction, dullness or dizziness.

Constitutionally administsred it renovates tbe blood, purifies it of tbe acid poison with which it is always charged In Catarrh, stimuli tea the stomach, liver and kidneys, perfects digestion, makes new blood, and permits the formation cf sousd, healthy tissue, and finally obtains complete control over tbe disease. The remarkable curative powers, when all other remedlea utterly fall, of BanroRD'a Radical Cure, are attested by thousands who gratefully recommend it to fellow sufferers. Ho statement is made regardiug it that cannot be substantiated by the most respectable and reliable references. Each package contains Dr. Sanford's Improved Inhaling full directions for Us nse in all cases.

Orosalsas; Briar Rlir In CullfornlH. liveryboJy liaa heard of Itio great flood of '01 and '02 lu California; but everybody does not know Ibo pleasures and perils of travel In tbe mountain regions during tbat eventful wiutcr. We wore a party of live, and bad been detained at Grass Valley several days longer limn our original intend on, from Ibo so-called early rains. Hut tho early rains tbat year proved to be early, Into, and all tbo way tbrougb, and feeling anxious to llnlsli our trip and get back to tbo city, wo bailed a sunshiny morning and mado preparations for a start. There wero plenty of croakers to predict direlul consequences, especially as a lady mado one of our number: but she was of real Now England grit, nud laughed at Ibe long faces and doleful kbakes of tbe bead.

You can't cross Bear ltlver," ald one old forly-ulnor. "Tbo bridge Is down, and it is loo full to ford. I know. I'vo seen It rise forty feet In forty minutes." "Pshaw!" was our reply. "Bear, ltlver Is nothing but a cub so early In tbe season." A coacb was procured; not onoof tboso Hue, yellow, world-rcuowucd Concords, but what is known as a "mud wagon" in California mouutalu-distrlcts.

Four horses of doubtful breed, if one might Judgo by looks, a driver who professed to know every Inch of the road, and a wbip of undoubted length, strength, aud snap-plslinoss, completed our equipment. We left town lu lino style, streets dry, sun shlnlug, a lovely breeze, aud everything promising a quick and pleasant journey. Three miles out, and first one Jolt and then anotber gave us tho notion that there bad bceu rain enough to wash out a few stones in the road, but iboso wero of small account, when a desperate lurch throw us pell-mell iorward on to the driver's shoulders, aud wo were fast in a wallow-hole, and mud and water runolug merrily ovor our bags and bundles iu tbo bottom or the wagon. After prying and lifting by tbe whole party, we wero onco morn roufe. Timo woto on, enlivened by Joke and soug and tho constant outlook at scenery nowhere lovelier than auioug the foothills of the Sierras, till at noon ue approachod tbo famous Bear Ilivor.

To tell tho truth, we bad heard his roar for au hour, but would uot allow to ourselves or to each other that we feared his cuhshlp bad taken a most wouderful growth, and had arrived at boarablp, and a roaring, glaut, grizzly bcarsblp at that, "I' low tbat Ibero old early-bird know tbe lay-out, arter all," said our Jobu; "tbat air du look a little rlly now, don't It, to put cattle thru?" "IUly!" we thought it did. What was to be done now? No sign of ahousoor habitation, person, or thing to be seeu, but the tall pines aud desolato road, tbe rush-lug river lu front, and tbo steep batik on tbe opposite shore. Whilo meditating whether to go back and give our business up, aud looking with anxious gaze up and down over tbo waste pf waters, a shrill halloo catno froat the otber tide. "Hullo, you folks, do you expect you can cross the Bear, and uot get hugged Back flew tbe answer, "Yes; la It forda-blot" "You Jest hold on where you be, and I'll come over," was tho reply; and, mounting his horse, he plunged Into tbo water. In moment bo was lost to sight.

Wo held our broatbs, and each ouo folt hlscourago ooze faintly out of his finger-tips, as wo thought of venturing into such peril ourselves but lo I tho man appeared, and soon reaching us, declared tbat ho made a mistake and got Into a bole, otherwlso there would bo no trouble for horses alone, but with a wagon and a woman, "Wa'al, It was a curus thing, what women wanted to travel Tor iuCalifornyt Yes," he said, be "guessed a yoko of oxen could fetch tbo thing through; but bis oxen were tbree mile ouTon tbe off side of Ibo drink," "Would bo get them, and try to take the wagon and lady over, while tbe gentlemen each tako a horse and ewluit" we asked. "Wa'al, yes, ho would do It for teu dollars and a warrant that the gal shouldn't scream and frighten bis nlgb ox I all of which was agreed to but tbero wo must wait, two, three, or four hours, for tbo return-log team, and we bad bad no dinner, and had nothing to eat. Was there no bouse uearf No, only one two miles away, aud tho other aide of the ri ver. It did seem as though all lbs world bad emigrated over tho river, and left us on tbls shore desolato, "I'll tell yowhat I'll du. If yo'll glv mo flvo dollars, I'll swim over and go and get yo a suack that will jest take tho edgo off." Flvo dollars was nothing compared to our empty economics, and with his double errand wo saw him depart.

Ono hour, two hours and more, wo whlled away iu ptstol-shootlug, pitching quoits, tossing jack-stones, aud hunting for tbo famous soap-stouo of California rivers, aud playing wo worn uot hungry; when a shout told us that dlnnor was at band. Was thore ovor such dinner Wore tbero ever such doughnuts inadoT Wo abhor doughnuts, never tatting tbom since wo wont to boardlng-tchoot and usod to buy them as "Ull-up;" but no cako front l'arker'a over had sucb dcllcato flavor ns those wo now devoured, and which to-day wo think must have boon fried In tallow. "Real, truly chicken," said one, as ho took up a "trotter;" but wo much fear It might have boon "The old whits ben with yellow legs, Who laid ber master many egga." Wo did not questlou quality much, lo bo sure, and after copious draughts from a spring bard by rose rafresbed and ready for tbo next thing on tbo programme. Tbo oxen camo at last but tho suu who had all day long given us tho light of his countenance, now wlthdrow it lu amazo-ment at tho rash attempt wo wero to undertake. Tho horses and their riders wore soon ready, and tho wagon-polo mado.

fast to tbo yoke of tbo oxen by a chain that seemed less Ilexlblo than strong, but with every assurance of safety from our newfound Icadet, we assisted our liltlo lady to resume her seat, and telling her playfully to "hold on to tho brako If sho was afraid tbo ark would Up over," we rodo ahead Into tho stream. Each ono found enough to do to keep himself from going down with tho fierce current, and each ono blamed tho fool-hardiness tbat had risked a woman to cross alone, or, In fact, lo cross at all, Struggling up the steep bank, every eye was turned to tbe wagon. It was half-way across; Ibo teamster up to his neck In tbo water, tho oxen stopped, holding their uo-kcs high up, and snorting. What had happened Tho chain had toco mo unfastoned and Ibo polo hung swaying loosely between Ibo cattle, wbllo every moment the rushing rapids threatened to overturn tbo tin wlcldy vehicle. We could see our plucky Ulllo friend grasping tbo brake (dear soul, sbo had taken our Joking order In earnest); but sbo did not speak.

After a minute that seemed an hour, Ibo man recovered the pole, and again fastening it to tho yoke, started on. Mcanwbllo tho water grew deeper and moro boisterous, and camo pouting into tho body with such forco as would surely huvo drowned our friend, when wo saw her get out on tho frout step, and then climb quickly and quietly up on to tho old canvas top, and cling thcto llko a squirrol, wbllo tbo wholo swayed and bent backward and forward, down and up, liko a ship at sea. Ono or two moro plunges, aud tbo oxen regained their footing, and tbo danger was over; but tbere was ono unanimous shout as they crawled up tbe bank, aud our bravo lady said, "I had lo let go or tho brake, but don't you see I have come out top of tho heap?" Taking us by tho buttonhole, and drawing us'asldv, our Yaukeo ox-driver said, "I never heard a yip from tbat gal the hull way over and I know my nlgb ox was ox pectlng ou't, for I tco'd blm turn Ills head round to ketch tho fust yell; aud that's what oulacklcd tbo pole. Whar du sho hall from, anyhow?" and when wo told blm from Down East, ho fairly roared, "I Hwan tu man I I might havo kuowed It. If I could find another as grllly, I'd marry her lo-morrer and sho should bo mistress of as pooty a rancbe as grows In these here digglns and what Is more, I know It Is underpinned all over with gold-dust." Night camo on apace, and wo still bad a long pull up tbe mountain, over an in-ell tied plain road, and our John owned that that bo had never been over It at all.

I'or-tu uatcly our team was uninjured, and we wero soon on our way. Darkness was rendered more dense by tbo pine forests on oltber side, and only by soudlng ono person ahead to feel out tho sudden turns, and to stand with his lighted cigar, could we manage to crawl along. Looking far ahead, we saw a light tbat looked human to our wearied eyes, and drawing closer, wo balled it accordingly. Out from tbe door camo dozen mon and boys, astonished to seo visitors In ruch a stato of roads. ur heroine bad been perfectly silent for tbo past hour, worn out with all tho day" had brought about but at Ibo first sight of shelter sbo cried out, "Can you keep us all night 7 You must, any way for I am half drowned and wholly starved, and I am not going to travel in California any moro tonight." "Stay you shall," said our Mountain Ho use host', "though I haven't a sparo bed lu the bouse; but I'll turn right out of mine, and you'll sleep liko a top." Supper was soon ready, and the stack of fried egga that camo on to the table disappeared as suddenly as our plucky little companion did from our midst when tbe feast was ended.

Golden Itule. aasasl Coaa.as.OBs flclaools. This It Is-tho work oflbe kindergarten, tbat distinguishes it from tbe purely mental training given In tbo primary schools to young children. It teaches them from tbe first tbo dignity of labor; from the first tbey do things for themselves, and rejoice in their work. Not alnne tbe head, but the hand, has been trained.

But the kindergarten does not stop here. It educates tho heart also. Iu tbe common schools the children rlso from class to class, silence being tho Inflexible rule, each child working forltsolf. In tho kindergarten tbe liltlo artists work llko grown men and women, happy and absorbed 'iu their work, but ready to help a neighbor, to drop casual remarks, ovon to sing at their work. Besides tbls, the "occupations" never last long.

They are alternated with "games," which are really calisthenics aud object lessons In disguise. Iu all these children and teacher are together, associating freely, politeness and kindness constantly Inculcated, aud tbe golden rule of society enforced by oxam-plo. Tbo kludergurleu has but ouo punishment, but tbat is all-sufficient. Tbe sulky, selfish, and dlsobodlent child Is doomed lo Idleness, sent away from his comrados, and not allowed to play with tbem or work with them. This method has nevor boen known to fall In reformation, Tbe philosophical reader who has followed us through the general features of tbe system, will havo doubtless perceived ere this that the gifts and werk are founded on tho constitution of tho human mind.

Tbe discipline Is founded on the laws of human noclety, which constitute it happi ness. Tho rudest child, brought up by slovenly and lll-inautiored parents learns in tho kindergarten tho truo basis of polllo-nets, tbo greatest good of tho greatest number, and gives away to Its companions for Its sake. In tho public schools, as rule, tbo children eltbor go hom*o lo dlnnor or bring their lunch boxes and oat their contonls as host tbey can, much as a savago gnaws tbo bono bo snatches from tbo fire. Let tbem go to a kindergarten, and tho atmosphere changes. Each child lakes Its lunch in lllllo basket, and at recess IhA same tablo at which tbey havo played is spread, a plato and cup of water to each child's place, and tho lunches aro eaten as a civilized lunch should bo, at table, Iu company, seasoned with cheerful conversation, Inculcated by example.

Tbo effect of this, aud other apparently trilling fcaturos of tbo kindergarten, is that tbo children who enter It liltlo untaught savages, lcavo It polite liltlo ladles and gentlemen. Tbey know bow to enter and lcavo a room, bow to speak toslrangcis without bashfulness ur forwardness, and specially how to bobavo at table, having learned at tbo most Impressionable age. Wo havo now shown in a brief sketch of the work ut tbo kindcrgaiteu what It docs for tho child. It docs it slowly and In tho mld9t of variety. Tbo dllTerent occupations altcrnato with each other dally, and with tho plays.

Even the smallest child begins to work at folding, stick laying, drawing, pricking aud modelling, from tbo first, beginning with tbo simplest forms, aud going gradually to tho highest, and stimulated to cxcrclso Invention and to make things "out of Its own bead." The kindergarten leaven tbo trained child at seven skillful liltlo workman, deft in Driver aud brain au embryo artist or sculptor, as Its tislo dictates, and free to show tho natural bias of Its mind. Tbe question remains, what advantage Is all tills to tho child entering a common fccbool and never having seen a book? Will uot tbo cbango from Ibe delightful freedom of tbo kindergarten Infallibly disgust uud dishearten Ii, and will it not fall behind other children who have only received hoit.o training? A little wlillo ago the answer tu these questions lu America could only bo made by assertion and prubabillly. The present year hns furnished a very declsivo reply, overwhelming iu favor of the kindergarten. 2Vic Galaxy for October. A Visit to Betuany.

Wo went on ovor tho bill to Bethany we had climbed up by tbo path on which David II cd from Absalom, and we were tu return by tbo road of tbo Triumphal Entry. All aloug tbo ridge wo enjoyed a magultlccnt panorama; a blue piece of tho Dead Sot, the Jordan plain extending far up tonardsllcrmon with Ibo green ribbon of the river winding tbrougb 11, and tho long, even range of tho Moah bills, blue lu Ibo distance. Tbo prospect was almost Swiss In Its character, but It Is mass of baro hills, with scarcely a trie except lu tho Inmicdialo foreground, and so naked and desolato aa to mako tbe heart ache; It would bo entirely desolate but for tbo deep blue ol tbo sky aud au atmosphere tbat balbcs all Ibo great sweep of peaks and plaius iu color. Bethany is a squalid bamlcl clinging to tho rocky bill-tide, with only one redeeming reaturc about It tho prospect. A few wretched ono story huts of stone, and a miserable handful of Moslems, occupy this fjiorlto hom*o aud resting-laco of our Lutd.

Close st hand, by tho roadside, cut in tbe rock and reached by a steep descent of twenty-six steps, is tho damp and doubtful tomb of Lazatus, down lulo which any ouo may go for half a franc paid to the Modem guardian. Tho bouse of Mary and Maltha is exhibited among tho big rocks and fragments of walls; uhjii older foundations looso walls aro laid, rudly and recently patched up with cut stones in fragments and plccos of Ilomau columns. The house ofSlmou tho leper, overlooking the whole, is a mcro heap of rnlns. It duct not matter, however, that all Iheso dwellings arc modern this is Bethany, and when we get away fioni its present wretched nets we remember only that wo have seen tho very place that Chiist loved. Wo relumed aloug the hlgnway of the Eutry slowly, to identify tbo points of tbat mcmorablo progress, up to tbe crest wbero Jerusalem broko upon tho sight of tbe Lord, and whence tbo procession, coming round tbo curve of tbo bill, would have tbe full view of Ibo city.

Ho who rides that way to-day has a grand prospect. One finds Jerusalem most poetic when teen from Olivet, and Olivet most lovely when bccii front tho dlstancooftboclty wall.

Hero aro long cylindrical glases tilled with dozens of brilliant dyes; here are solid blocks of pitch, such as roofers specially covet; hero are light and heavy oils; here Is carbullo acid, and tho creosotic substance which enables tbo builders of wharves and Jetties and bridges lo laugh to scorn Ibo onco tcrrlblo loredo.

It is not a great many years since tbo coal-tar In tho country was considered worthless.

Ono day, a sharp young business man In New York asked permission to cart tho oozy, somewhat offonslvo sulmanco away from Ibo gas-works. It was cheerfully accorded. The young man set bis cbomlst to work, and brought out of tho coal tar, which be had got for nothing, pitch and light and heavy oils, Tbe pitch was sold to roofers Ibo oils wero farther analyzed. Tbo light oil yielded crude, and refined naphtha, which found a ready sale. Then in swift succession catno tbo procuring from these of benzole, for wh'ch there was, a few years ago, such a demand, to bo used lu making anlllno; tho oil of mtsbanc, which was formed by tbe action of burning nitric acid upon tbe benzole, and of Ibis Immense quantities wero aud still aro sold lo tbo manufacturers of soaps.

By and by tho' chemist found carbolic acid in this wonderful coal tar, and brought It out, to hare an astonishing sale. Another day, the chemist thought ho could btiug lampblack out, by burning tbo residuum of onoof Iheolls; it was done, and thousands of tons of this are now sold annually by the firm tbat cm-ploys tbo chemist. Aniline, which Is tho basis of all tbe new dyes, comes from coal tir, and In Ibis exhibit In tbo Main building you mayscoacaso containing 74 distinct products evolved from this wonderful tor, a goodly number of which aro dyes of tho most beautiful and brilliant hues. It seems llko magic, and It Is Ibo magic or tbe least understandable or all things In this universe Nature. About seven years ago, tbo young American who had first discovered In Ibis country what there, was hidden In coal tar was journeying through Europe, and while In Berlin ho happened lo bear of a very curious experiment which bad been successfully mado by two acute Teutonic chemists.

These gentlemen, Graebo and Llcbermann by name, had round tbat the oil which came from a certain residuum, when Ibey were analyzing coal tar, was green oil, filled with crystals. Theso crystals tbey caught upon prepared cloths, and had them pressed Into cako, aud then Germans shortly bad crude anthracene. They then went on refining, getting antbraguinune, until lboy arrived at an artificial matter called alizarine. Tbey fouud tbat tbls was exactly liko tbe alizarine which Is the valuablo properly iu madder. They felt that they bad struck upon something which would do away with tbe madder culture In Europo If Ibey could prove it lo bo exactly what tbey thought It.

So Iheso patient German chemists took some uf tbo alizarine found in madder and worked It back to anthracene, which they knew to be in coal tar. Tbls proof was sufficient, anil tbey patented the process In Europe. Tbe young American found it out. His chemists went at work, and obtained Ihotamo results; an Immense economy lu the purchase, of alizarine, was obtained for all our manufacturers who are compcllod lu use it, aud now Ibcte is notau acre or madder planted in any European country. All this from coal tar, as any one may see for himself in Ibo Main building.

Iu Ibis ramo exhibit there is a curious colltctlun of Ibe decayed aud worm-eaten railroad sleepers, tresllo-work, plies, found lu various parts of tho country, and au Illustration or tbo effective, prevention of such decay by means of tbo creosotlug process. Iteio another or tbe products of coal tar Is used directly lor saving millions of dollars yearly. This process will check the ravages of the woodman's ax, aud will pre-servo us some, at least, of cur beautiful forests. Tho avorago Ufa of cut timber exposed to tbe air, unprotected by creosotlug, In this country Is seven years; with creosotlug it lasts for an indefinite period. Wheu tbls process Is universal, Ibero will no longer be 150,000 acres of timber land cut over annually to supply railroad lies.

Tbetoare now creosotlug works at Ellzibetbport, N.J., at Pittsburg, Galveston, Cleveland and St. Louis, all established wilhin the last fuur years. Theso establishments would uot havo been started for half a century yet bad not tbo sharp American had his eyes about blm when visiting otber countriesseen what tbey used for preserving timber gone right to his coal tar tbe Inexhaustible black genie that never aid no, and asked lor Ibo materials Tor tho creosotlug process.

Tho manners and opinions of tbe visitors to tbo Exhibition furnish a good deal ofinlerest iu themselves. Tbe occupants of rolllng-cbairs are unmistakably the objects of a slight scorn to Ihoso on foot, akin to Ibo superciliousness or eatly risers. And, notwithstanding hundreds of daily Instances lo tbe contrary, tbo pedestrians are evidently porsuaded tbat everybody In a chair Is tbo victim of some strange maiming or malady, about which Ibey cannot conceal their curiosity. The interest taken in any purchase by Ibo by-stauders Is so intense as to bo paluful lo tbo purchaser; a ring forms immediately around the latter aud the vendor, which increases momentarily until tbo Irausactlou is over, all hanging speechless on tbe dialogue between the two; when Ibis Is carried on In a foreigu language the audience looks discomfited and displeased, as ir balked oHta rights. A lady acquaintance told mo tbat just as her purchase was concluded and the artlclo replaced In tbe case, to tbat it be-camo indistinguishable among its follows, a stranger or her own sex arrived on Ibe scene, aud, teeing tbat It was too late, dogged her until Ibey reached a secluded spot In one of tho less frequented departments; thon she accosted her In a low voice "You bought (something Just now," "Yos." "What was It?" But this Inqulsltlveness Is generally sympathetic- I witnessed the sale of an India shawl, ut which tbe buyer was auxlous to sco It folded and tried on.

A couple of good-natured young Englishmen, evidently novices In playing shopmen, wero helplessly pulling It hllber aud tblther, when a very nico-looklng middle-aged woman with an ardent gaze stepped from tbe circle, took It from their bands, gat it in a trice tbo proper twist, and Ihen turning about deftly threw it over ber own shoulders and stood there on exhibition until everybody concerned or not concerned was satisfied, Tbat sort or rcadlnoss lo oblige is characteristic of our country folk, but both abroad aud at hom*o it renders us liable, lo bo Imposed upon by foreigners, which la lo bo observed at tbo Exhibition iu Ibo conduct or tbe attendants. A friend who has beon at moro (ban ono or tbo European exhibitions recognized tn several or Ibo departments men whom ho had seen at Paris or Vienna, wbero they had been civility Itself; under tbe influence of our good-humored democracy Ihoy havo becotno extremely Impertinent. Tho same cbango has taken place in tbo manners or many or Ihem tlneo tbo opening or our Exhibition, notably in Ihoso or Ibo wallers at llio reslau rants; but If spoken lo in tbo right tone tbey coma to heel at once, except Ibe Germans, who are upt to bo lll-lralncd curs everywhere. Oil tbo other hand, tho misconduct or ono'sowu counlry-peoplo has a moro pungent power of nnnoyanco than tbat of any other, and It was almost intolerablo to seo Ibcm handling articles tho most easily broken or soli, cd, with total disregard of the placards, where ono would supposo to tbo commonest consideration placards would bo superfluous.

Tbe deopost perpendicular shaft to-day, is tbe Adelbert shaft in a silver-lead mlno lu Prlzibram, In Bohemia, which has retched a deplh or S2S0 feet.

Tbere is no record or tbo beginning or work on this mine, aHbough its written history goes back to 1527. Au elegant commemorative volume has been written and printed, which is most Interesting to those that havo a taste fur either tbe actualities or antiquities of mining Industry, Thete are two other localities, however, wbote a greater depth has bceu reached than at tho Adelbert shaft, but not In a perpendicular line.

tFrom Iter. Dr. Thompson in the Chnrch Journal. Ono thousand years ago, in Europo It was tho battler In Ibo way of her civilization that law followed race, and not land tbat tho Itomantzcd Gaul was governed by Roman law; tho Salic Frank, bis conqueror, by Salic law llio Burgundlan by Bur-gundian law; that thero wero as many laws as races. To pave tbo way for Euiu-pcan clvlllzillon, and the bulldlgg upofu Christian commonwealth, Charlemagne, the great law-maker and clvlllzer, abolished ibis barbarous folly, and mado a law fur tho laud.

Henceforth raco was tu bo nothing. Over every aero of tho empire, tbe same Justice and right wero to bo moled out to every man In tho empire. Tho key-nolo of civilization was struck. Law goes with tho laud, nud law Is supromo over every man In the land. Strangely enough, American Indian pot-Icy has rovlved tbo barbarism which Cbar-lcmagno destroyed.

We havo made, iu our case, tho law to go with tbo raco and not with tbo land. Tbo government Is an alien In part oflls uwn territory. The writs of tho courts do not run among Iho Indians. Wo havo recognized tbe existence of hoslllo ur friendly powers on our own suit. Wo havo bad pcaco commissioners, ambassadors, and ministers plenipotentiary dialing with people livlug among us In our own country.

We havo officially announced that the United Stales is nut tupremo over its own people, nor its laws authoritative In Its own territories I In tbo first place, wo bavo made it the interest of the Indian to slay an Indian. As long as he remains an Indian, and roams over what be calls his "country," hunting, robbing, and scalping, wo recognize hlui and bis few score wretched companions as "a nation." We tend "commissions" to him. We make treaties with him. We bring him tu Washington, and llouizo blm about New York lied Cloud, Spotted Tall, Speckled Nose, or Tin Kettle, or whatever maybe his princely name. We hold palavers with him, and smoke peace-pipes and speechify at blm, and generally contrlvo to impress ou bis savago dullness that he is a great personage very "big In-jut," indeed; aud that it Is his Interest to remain "big Injun," all his days.

Should hotcttlo dowu on two er three hundred acres of land, and givo up tbo hunting and scalping business, tako to raising corn and potatoes, aud wcarlug clean shirts, to washing his face, and making himself look semi-decent, bo would lose all his importance. No "pcaco com-utl tslonet" would visit him. No twaddlo about his "Great father tu Washington" would any moro bo talked to blm. No stilted nonsense about "the tomahawk and the pipe of peace, the war-path and tbo setting sun," wuuld ever moro greet bis cars from "the general commanding." Ho would bo simply a law-abiding farmer, ra iting bis own corn-cakes, and eating his own bacon, and would bo a subject of profound iudlffcrcnco to "Great fathers" and commissioners, Indian agents, colonels, and treaties. Across tbo line, Canada hss had lis Indians.

It has never bad an Indian war, nor an Indian peace twaddle, nor an Indian massacte. The secret Is a simple one. England bus accepted the civilization or ten ccuturief, aud makes tbe law follow the land. She docs uot recognize an independent nation of gypsies, chicken-thieves, or Ii ilians, In tbe region wbero the queons writs ruu. Law is supreme.

The samo law i ules white, black, and red. Tbo man that breaks tho law is tried by tbe law, aud punished according to the law. It is tbe interest of tbo Indian lo become, lu Canada, as soon as bo can, a decent citizen. In plain language, let us abolish the barbarous absurdity, buried in Europo a thousand years ago, of two laws lu one laud. Let Ibu Indlnn outlaw bejust liko anyolb-er outlaw, tbe Indian just liko any other man.

When the law reaches him, let him feel It as the rest of us do. Make It bis Interest to slop being au Indian. Never send bim another commissioner, nor another pcaco pipe. Tell him: "Hero is tbo laud. A section or it Is yours.

Settle ou 11. Plant, and sow, and reap, and vote, llko other men. Do this or get out or Ibe way. Either coma under tbe law, or taken wolf's fate outside tbo law but wo bavo closed the business of sending embassies tu 50 half-starved thieves and marauders, and treating tbem as a nation. There is only ouo nation in this territory, and it Is loo large to go Into sucb very contemptible business." Two groat undertakings are now occupying the mluds of European savants and capitalists.

Tbe first, tbe tunnelling or tbe English channel, was proposed by M. Thome de Gamaud, since deceased, who in 1807 exhibited a model at tbo Paris Exposition. In 1872 tho Channel Tunnel Company Limited was founded lo establish railroad communication between Franco and England and preparatory shafts aud galleries are now being excavated at Dover and Calais. Tbo geological surveys have resulted in tbe discovery Ibat a hom*ogeneous chalk, five hundred feet deep, lies on either shore below high-water mark and, as tbe maximum depth along (be line proposed nowhero exceeds ono hundred and eighty feet, It Is proposed lo oxcavalo the tunnel at least two hundred feet below the bottom of Ibo sea. It Is estimated that a drift-way, nine feet in diameter, can he finished in two years, at a cost of aud that four years more, and 4,000,000 sterling will complete tbe work.

It Is now almost certain that this stupendous undertaking will be carried out. Two years ago, Capl, Rondalse, of Ibo French staff in Algeria, received from Ibo national assemby a grant or leu tboutanil francs, to enable him to mako a preliminary survey of tbo Desert of Sahara, with a vlow of letting tbo waters of the Mediterranean into its barren depression for tbe traveller Barth estimates lis level below high-water mark at little less than two hundred foot. RmdaUe has reported a feasible route for a caual, at a cost of fiaucs. Mr, Donald McKonzIo, a Scotchman, advocates au outlet by way of tho llttlo river Bella, which empties Into tbo Atlantic irearly oppotlto tho Canary Islands, ou tbe north-west coast. Williams Colleue Is located In a little village In tho northwest corucr of Massachusetts which has no foreign trudo or commerce, but Is simply just what Iho col-lego has mado II, and hero we havo their report; Graduates, two thousand tbrco hundred and ninety; of this number thirty havo been members of Congress, eight governors, Ave U.

S. senators, stxteoit Judges of supremo court, thirty-two presidents of colleges, fifty-seven professors In colleges, eight hundred and ninety-four mlulslors of the gospel; and when to this wo add the fact that hero Judsou and hit associates wero educated, and In this college our foreign missions had tbelr rise, surely tbey have a record of whlcl; they need not be.
