Our Own GLACIERs.-Along with our other
valuable property in Russian America, we get a
fine lot of glaciers. Mr.. VIM. P. Blake, who has
seen them, makes a satisfactory report Of their
number and condition in SHlmdR'S Journal for
July. From his statement, it appears that the
glaciers are not on the Pacific coast, south of
Sitka, where the weather is too mild for their
perfect development, but along the river Stic-
keen. This stream rises in the Blue Mountains
opposite the head waters of the Mackenzie, and
flows in a general southeasterly direction paral-
lei with the coast until it breaks through the
mountains east and a little north of Sitka.
When the SHOWS are melting the Stickeen is nav
iQable by small steamboats, about one hundred
aud twenty FIVE miles from its mouth so that
one can sail up the river and enjoy full view
of the glaciers. Their appearance is said to be
magnificent, One fills rocky gorge of rapid
descent stretching far back to the peaks of the
Blue Mountains, and looks like an enormous
cascade. In the course of ages it has cut its way
through solid rocks, and is oVerhung BY freshly
broken cliffs which attest its power. Another
one swoops grandly out from an opening between
high mountains and ends on the river in an r-
regular bluff of ice about two miles long and
$50 feet high. Mr.. Blake made particular ex-
animation of this glacier, and found its surface
broken up into enormous blocks and lodges, or
caves and pyramids with curved sides. These
obstructed his progress, and could be surmouut-
ed only by ladders or ny cutting steps in them.
Deep crevasses are of frequent occurrence, and
the sun Eliminates them with the most beautiful
and aquamarine tnts, passing into rich sea-
blue where they are narrow anu deep. Far be-
meath are rushing and roaring streams, which
constantly wear away the under surface and
empty into the river. Mr.. Blake judges from
various indications that the climate of the region
has been greatly ameliorated in the course of
time. This is a gratifiDg fact for, give it cen.
tures enough, and our Russian purchase may
become pleasantly habitable for human beings
There are four large glaciers of the kind de-
scribed and some smaller ones visible within
distance Of 60 or7O miles of the rivers mouth
Above Stka, on the Pacific coast, in latitude 60
degrees, where the weather is colder, glaciers
abound The shores of Icy Bay, at the foot of
Mount Elias, are lined with them. But they are
not SO accessible as the glaciers of the Stickeen
which will be regarded hereafter among the first
class natural curiosties of the United States,
like Niagara Falls, Mammoth Cave, and the Yo'
semitic Valley, and will not be forgotten by the
future railroad tourists TO the Pacific.

ADVERTISING HOUSES. - One who knows what
be is talking about, discOurses in this wise &:
When we see business firm giving publicity to
their particular branch of trade, we argue at
once that such house is alive to the requires
ments of the time. 1t implies not only sagacity,
but likewise that sort of liberaliy which is sure
to attract trade. Many establishments forego the
benefits resulting from advertising from a spirit
of penuriousness. They reason in this way:
Should we incur outlay of $50, or $lOO, or
$500, possibly we may never get it back-then
it would be so much thrown away These are
timd men, who properly belong to past gener-
alton. The true man of business, appreciating
the fair advantages of being represented in the
newspaper columns, looks upon advertising as
"bread cast upon the waters" and should be

URGENT CAsE-AN EKTERPRIsNG LANDLORD
The Poughkeepsie Eagle tells story about
Clergyman in that city, who was recently arous-
ed from his slumbers, few moments before
midnight, by a vigorous tapping at the front
window of his residence. Raising the window

replied in the broken dialect of Yorkshireman
that be wanted the dominic to come down to his
house and marry couple. The dominic won
dered that he should be called on such business,
at such late hour of the night, and asked for
an explanation. The Yorkshireman replied that
"youug couple had just arrived at his boarding
house, and wished to stay all night, saying that
they were going to be married in the morning"
That was all well enough, but the Yorkshireman
didn't have but one spare bed, and as be didn't
wish to turn the strangers out Of doors, and
didn't wish to lose the price of their lodgings
be concluded that they had better be married
that night, rather than take any risks. The good
nAtured dominic proceeded to the house, and 10
the presence Of the household made the lovers
one. At the conclusion of the ceremony the
Yorkshireman stepped up to the reverend gentle
man and placing a Eve dollar greenback in his
hand, said "There, dominic, if she makes
good wife for her husband, at the end OF the year
will give you Eve dollars more" The dominic
then returned to the parsonage, and the newly
married couple were allowed the ''spAre room"

makes the following significant allusiOn to the
future
"If we reach the day Of that election with
the constitutional amendments not adopted, and
Andrew johnson still acting President OF the
United States, there will not be wisdom enough
in the land to prevent another fearful struggle.
This is said of the Presidential election of the
7th November, 1868. We have here direct in>
timation that unless the radical theory of Gov
ernment, including negro suffrage, be accepted
within given time, the country will be again
percipitated into the horrors Of civil war. De-
feated at the ballot box, the radicals propose an
appeal to the sword, and when this appeal is
made it requires no prophet to foretell that 1t
will result in the utter ront of radicalism.

MILITARY GovERSoRs.-Let it be borne con-
stsntly in mind that, under the government of
the Constitution, there can be no legal military
governors of the people in this country He is
rebel or usurper who undertakes to enforce mil
itary law on citizens within the limits of the
United States, no matter on what pretext or by
whose command. Congress can no more confer
despot:c power upon individuals than indivldu-
ais can confer it upon Congress. What is not
done in subordinatiou to our free system of laws
is void, and of no legal force whatever. That
system is marked by the exclusion of all power
which is not consistent with itself; nor would it
be less so without any Constitution at all. 1t is
a great principle-it looks to the freedom of the
people, and it is, in the nature of things, SOL
emn declaration that it shall be governed, and,
if governed, protected by laws, and it follows
that it is national pledge of faith one to an
other, that no despotism, no setting aside of the
laws in favor of the will and command of one
man, here or there, shall be permitted in this
country.-HdtiondL Latelligeneer.
