RIVER NEws.-The news from below
regarding lumber and logs is rather dis
couraging. We hear of sale of Chippe-
wa logs, at Lyons, at sll,O 90. Lumber has
been sold at the same point for $1,000.
We hope this is but a temporary derange-
ment Of the market. As soon as the
crops arc harvested we predict better pri>
ces. The heavy rain Of Sunday brought
up the river some five feet. We under-
stand that the Beef Slough company have
made arrangements with the most of the
mills for an exchange of logs from this
time onward for the season. There have
been over twenty millions Of logs RATED
in Beef Slough at this date, at the present
rates. We think that all the Slough logs
will be RATED by the middle of Sept.
This company have changed their style of
rafting to suit the loggers-some dissatis-
faction having been expressed at the quail
ity of poles and lock DOWNS Chippewa

The Glaciers.

The Glaciers.
To the traveller in Switzerland, apart
from the grandeur of the mountain scenery
nothing is more interesting than the gi-
gantic glaciers which form in the elevated
gorges between the snow-clad mountains.
1t is scarcely possible to estimate the ex-
tent of the Swiss glaciers, but they are
supposed to cover upwards of 500 miles,
and vary from six to eight feet in thickness.
When viewed from an elevation, the gen
eral appearance Of a glacier is that Of
torrent tumbling through its sinuous bed,
to precipitate itself into the valley below,
but which has been suddenly stopped by
some mysterious agency.
The glacier terminates at the lower
extremity in promontory of ice, thrusting
itself into cultivated valleys, and from its
base issues stream of water through
natural arches formed in the ice. The
Rhine, and many other smaller rivers,
derive an everlasting supply from these
singular fact thst these frozen masses
have regular motion. They advance
noiselessly and imperceptibly in the direct
ion of the declivity, carrying forward rocl s
and other substances on the surface, which
can be traced from year to year and almost
from day to day, oil depending on the
mildness and severity of the weather.
Glaciers are not peculiar to the Alps,
but have been observed in the Andes.
During the summer months tourists thro.
ugh the the Alps watch with deep interest
the fall of avalanches of snow from the
sides OF the Jung Frau and Mont Blanc,
the reports of which resemble the sound
of distant artillery.

IL ONES wife a Human Being.

-
"Attila' is the assumed name of tho
author of book recently published in
this city to prove that woman is not hui
man being. Of course the writer, (al-
though he endcavors most earnestly to
impress his sincerity upon the minds Of
his rcaders.) does not believe word OF
what he has written, but has gotten up a
book ito SELL" The sources Of his argH-
,ncnts are the Bible and Physiology
Taking the Masonic account Of the creation
as q foundation for the truth of his Gu
rious doctrine, he declares it to be plain to
the sight of anybody that the name
"Adam, human being" has to be applied
only to that being which was created in
the ssimage and likeness Of God," and was
altogether equal unto Him. The being
thus created, the Bible states, was Adam,
whosswas no weman, but mar, shaped
entirely in the ''image and likeness Of
Cod"
He argues that God and Adam are both
male, because of the masculine termina-
ton of their Hebrew names, and are also
equal, and that the man and woman not
being equal to each other, the woman
must be the one that is not equal unto the
Lord, and since that is the first condition
which qualities the human being, hence,
'the ,coman Is no human being at ALL" lie
argues also that woman is no part of the
original creation, and is literally Of no use
in the world-being untitled by her physi-
cal struction to cork according to our
Makers purpose with regard to man.
And he contends that man received soul
by the breath of God, while woman was
soulless, being only the rib of the man
that "woman was not intended for the
propagation of the species, but only toy
for the idle hours of ADAM" that the
Almighty wished the man to choose
helpmate from among the beasts Of the
field, but that his obstinate refusal CON-
PEELED the creation of the woman that
Adams happiness did not consist in hav-
ing Eve, or he would never have let her
leave him to talk to the serpent and that
Eve did not dare to consider herself
human being till the serpent persuaded her
to do 50.
It is pity that the tastes of the public
incline to be fascinated by such outrageous
drivel as this of "Attila's." His theory
that woman have no souls, has not the
merit Of originality, having been put
forth by Mahomet, and forming now a
religious belief of the Mussulmen. As a
curiosity the work may have circulation,
but of course it will be laughed at. To get
aHgered by such compilation of old rub
bish Originated probably in the crazy
brain of some monk long ago defunct)
would be the height of absurdity.-N T.
