Ags OF the Earth.

Among the astounding discoveries of
science is that of the immense pariods that
have passed in the gradual formation of
the earth. So vast we're the cycles of the
time preceding even the appearance of man
on the surface of our globe, that our own
period seems as yesterday when compared
with the epochs that have gone before it.
Had we only the evidence of the deposits
of rocks heaped on each other in regular
strata by the slow accumulation of mate
rials, they alone would convince us of the
slow maturing of Gods works on earth
but when we add to these the successive
population of whose life the world has been
the theater, and whose remains are hidden
in the rocks into which the mud, or sand,
or soil of whatever kind on which they
have lived, has hardened in the course of
time; or the enormous chains of mountains
whose upheaval divided these periods of
quiet accumulation by great convulsions;
or changes of different nature in the
confgurations of our globe, as the sinking
of lands beneath the ocean or the gardual
rising of continents and islands above;
or the slow growth of the coral reefs, those
wonderful sea-walks raised by the little
ocean architect whose own bodies furnish
both the building stones and the cement
that binds them together, and worked
SO busily during the long centuries that
there are extensive countries, mountain
chains, islands and long lines of coast con-
sisting solely of their remains; or the
countless forests that have grown up, -four
ished and decayed to fill the store-house of
coal that feeds the fires of the human race
If we consider all these records of the
past, the intellect fails to grasp chron-
ology of which our experience furnishes
no date, and time that lies behind us seems
as much an eternity to our conception as
the future that stretches indefinitely before
us.-AgasSiz

killing an officer with a knife that had
been given him by other Indians Just
before Mr.. King left a party of thirty
Indians rode up to the Fort and gave the
Captain ten days to liberate the prison

There are some sixty or sventy Indians
in the Valley, who have no squaws or
children about, which looks like q fight.
They sometimes visit houses, and finding
no men about, make the women furnish
them with food to eat, and the settlers
are anxious to exterminate the whole

NORTHERN RIvERs-Mr. Roberts, one
of the surveyors of the Northern Railroad,
speaking of the rivers passed on the route,
says "Clark's Fork of the Columbia is
noble stream, from seven hundred to one
thousand feet in width, and having even at
its lowest stages an immense volume of
water. 1t is as large Is the Ohio between
Pittsburg and Wheeling, but has more
than six times the water fow The Flat
head river, one of its main branches, is
from five hundred to seven hundred feet
wide, with volume of water at its lowest
stage more than three times that of the
OHIO at low water" How loEg will it be
before these grand rivers will be navigated
by steamers, and the rich country along
their margins be peopled by hundred and
thousands?

SH ASIA COURIE
THE GREAT POISONING CASE.

One of the dispatches relating to the
eicknsss of Senator Fessenden, states that
his disease was complicated by the poison
taken into his system at the National Hotel,
Washington, some years ago, from which
he had frequently suffered. Most of our
readers will remember the National Hotel
poisoning case, which created great SEN
sation at the time. 1t occurred in Febru-
ary, 1857, just previous to the Inauguration
of Buchanan, who was among the suffer.
ers. Some two or three hundred guests at
the hotel all, in fact, who had taken their
meals there-were suddenly taken sick
and the hotel was at once deserted. 1t
was believed that the food had been pur.
posely poisoned, though an effort was made
by the owners of the hotel, assisted by the
city authorities, to discredit this theory
The first suggestion was that poisonous
substance had collected in the pipes leading
water to the building, but this supposition
completely retuted, and board of physi-
clans finally reported that the sickness was
caused by accumulation of stagnant water
under the building. This, Of course, could
not account for several hundred persons
being taken sick the same day, and ex-
hibiting all the symptoms Of poison. Some
of them were affected more than others,
and while none Of them died suddenly, all
were convinced that the poison was in their
systems. A number died in the course of
the year, and in 1865 it was asserted by
an Eastern journal that had kept trace Of
the subject that over forty had died from
the effects of the poison Buchanan, among
the others, was seriously affected, and re-
turned to his home in Pennyslvania, but
SO far recovered by the 4th of March that
he was able to 60 through the ceremonies
of Inauguration. 1t was believed, however,
that the poison had weakened his mind,
and rendered him a subservieEt tool of the
oligarchy. There is little doubt that the
poison was the work of diabulical con-
spiracy to get Buchanan out of the way
and place Breckinridge in the Executive
chair but the authorities at Washington
had an interest in hushing the affair up,
and as Congress did not meet for many
months after, no attempt was ever made to
bring the facts to light. Some thought
that an expose would have bad effect on
the public morals; and this feeling, to-
gether with the influence of the conspira-
tors, doubtless had the effect to prevent a
searching investigation. But since the
assassination of Lincoln, the dark hints of
foul play in the cases of President Har-
rison and Taylor have more frequently
found EXPRESSION: and il is useless TO at
tempt to disguise the fact that there are as
bad men living now and in our own coun-
try, as ever disgraced the middle ages of
Europe. Perhaps not less than half the
persons involved in The attempt to get rid
of Buchanan have since died, and the testi-
mony of their friends and physicians has
been that their lives were shortened by the
effects Of the poison. Senator Fessenden
was the latest victim Gazette.
