The Garden Of Eden.

Ii there be part of the world which ought to
tempt the traveller, it is assuredy that region of
Asia which lies between the Caspian and Black
seas. Immemorial tradition declares this to be
the cradle of the human race. Here-say Per-
slams and Armenians-was the Garden of Eden;
here, as every one knows. stands the mighty
Ararat, from which mankind spread after the
deluge Here are the best and most nndeniable
physical evidences of that astonishing catastro-
phe. Here hunted the Biblical Nimrod, here
Noah planted the vine. Here languished Pro-
metheus. chained to the rock with yulture ever
gnawing at his liver. l4
Hther sailed Jason and the Argonauts, and
hence departed the enchantress Medea. One of
the rivers of this region still bears the name of
Cyrus the Great. Alexander of Macedon is a
household word among the Caucasian villagers
Hence flowed Greeceward that stream of gorge
GUS fable whichwidened into Hellenic mythology.
Here Pompey conquered and the soldiers of I'M
perial Rome bled in vain. Here Gregory preach
ed and Tamerane and Genghis. Kahn spread
havoc; the Turks uprooted the the Genoese on
those shores to be themselves uprooted in due
time by the more opportune Russians. Over the
Caucasian WALL at the dread hour when Allah's
time shall sound, Cog and Magog shall cross to
put an end to the empire of Islamism on earth,
and destroy the kingdom of the true believers.
When the. Russians swept away the Georgian
throne, in 1900, learned men at Tiflis exclaimed
in their anguish that the fallen modarchy had
existed without interruption since the time of
Abraham; there is good historical evidence to
prove line of kings extending over period Of
2245 years.
Nor does the future promise to be less interest
ing than the past. The burial-p place of the Turks
will evidently be here. this is the battles ground
on which the last fight of pure Islamism will be
fought We can see even now the giant Russia
drawing its grasp tighter and tighter round the
throat of the efete nationalities of Turkey and
Persia, and before many years both must be
stranged. The soldiers of Azerbijan, the most
martial province of Persia, are devoted to the
Gar; the authorities of Tabriz are in his pay.
England and France may insist on the dismantl-
ing of the Caucasian fortressos but the contest
at Kars has proved beyond question that the
Armenians will welcome the day which ranges
them among the subjects of the Emperor of Rus
sa Yet these events. proximate as they seem
cannot be consumated without fresh contests.

THE GREAT QUARTZ BoULDER.-T The Sierra
Democrat says
'Last week we stated that quartz boulder
weighing 162 pounds, valued at $3,000 had
been found at Minnesota by the Juniata Com
pany Since then, $4,000 in gold has been alb
stracted from it, and we are credibly informed
that the rock remaining uncrushed, will yield
at least $4,000 more; making in all $1,000.
This, we believe, is the richest boulder ever
discovered in this country. Near its center was
found solid mass of gold, weighing over two
pounds, and in numerous places, small disinte-
grated veins of gold were found running entire
ly through it, Its surface was smooth and oval,
bearing evidences of having been submerged"
