Ihst&soiogy of Lake Michigan.

From an interesting psnsr nrsnared bv
Professor Edmund Andrews P-es;dsut ~
the Chicago Historical -Soc;,tv ON "Tba
Zoology of Lake Michigan" We e;vo +be
following synopsis: He had lon. bsan
convinced that sufficient ind;cat;eors ov

Instance OF the drift period Lake Mich
gan nad its current like the ocean. one
passing northefiyan and the other southerlv
Lake Michigan lies in basin Of bovIder
drift, which lies again ina bssin Of rock
Inc shores were rapidly being eroded
ioy the force of the waves and she pc
tcullar character of the basin. The sand
is swept by currents along the shore, and
no SAID is ever brought up from the
depths of the lake. There is constant
current passing along both shores. and
tne influence ofthis incessent action leaves
wnst he would call, for want of better
Term, a terrace OF erosion, which drops
with perpendicular abruptness to the
great depth just beyond the action of the
currents Ths shelf on the western shore
| OF Lake Michigan was about the same
oepth with that of Hthe eastern shore off
Lake Huron. This he attributed to theI
loIce ana prevailing course of the lake
| Wlnds. Ii = were possible to find out
the rate at which this erosion proceeded
II would be practicable to get at an an.
pronmatlve estimate of the time taken
to form this shelf In Lake Erie, in front
OF Cleveland, the formation of the terrace
was slx feet per year, and in other places
1t was only four feet. The average rate
between Evanston and Manitowoc was
about 0 28-l00 feet year, The breadth
OF the shelf and the sxtegt of the erosion
| was about 8 987100 mules on the lake
shore.
Tbs. general slope of the bottom showed
from soundings that the shore had been
contracted aoout "a miles. An estimate
would indicate that about 1870 years had
elapsed in the process of the erosion.
Lake Michigan had stood at three levels,
the first one about 40 feet above the pres,
ent level. There was no well defined
beach line above that already indicated
between the lake and the Allegheny
Mountains. The result of the recession
/ OF the waters from drift period was shut
up IN the basins as in cups. If we exam
Inc the beach lines, they are found in
three parallel sets. That the change of
the levels was quite sudden is indica-
ted by the fact that the beaches were
not disturbed. The water subsidized in
the lower part of the lake first, as the
peat beds oyergrown with moss forest.

friend, as we separated at the door of the
Casino Inglese, IN Rome, during the
month of April, 1869. Expeditions to
various parts of the Campagna are among
the chief attractions of the Holy city,
when the mind has become, as it were,
satiated, and almost harassed, by con-
tinual round of the sightseeing. And
very pleasant are these riding parties, con
sisting as they do generally, of some sew

three married men to leayen the lump, the

seem inseparable from a southern climate.

supply of corn had been sent for him in

This carriage was occupied by three la dies,

in too delicate health to attempt the long
ride to Galera. All told our party consist,

every wood and turn on its broad expanse
is as familiar as the shops in Piccadilly

the ladies, began long argument as to
the hours the helpers were to meet the
horses; which horse was the property Of
which lady; and a host of various trifes
that eventually delayed our departure till
1890, and would probably have kept us
much longer had not Mr.. Rivers. BEING 4

The Freedmen.

Turn Wheresoever we may, consider
lany matter of general craftsmanship
which has been put into practical opera
ton by the Republicans, and we shall
find that the wisdom OF their ideas is JUS
tined by their good results. There never
was more difficult problem to solve
than the problem Of reconstruction. Yet
we may now see clearly, if we but open
our eyes to the plain facts, that the Re-
publican plan was the only one that could
have redeemed, regenerated, and Olsen
thralled the South; that it has been
singularly successful in the mainland that,
where unsuccessful, the fact is due to
the practical rejection of the Republican
plan and the practical adoption of Andrew
Johnsons monstrous policy, or the policy
OF rebelism, pure and simple. Notwith.
standing the rejection of the true plan by
some parts of the South-Georgia, -espec-
ially-the palpable demonstration, which
all men cal understand, of the wisdom of
the Radicals is in the fact that the South
IS at this moment more prosperous than
ever before. ..a
And with respect to the freedmen of
the South, has not the Radical policy
been even more noteworthy justified by
the result? Every one will recollect the
fierce struggle on this question between
Mr. johnson and Congress; the veto of
the Freedmans Bureau bill, and its pas
sage notwithstanding the predictions
Of the sham Democracy that we were but
bringing up vast army of negroes in
beggary and pauper1sm. And &C turns
out that only one in two hundred Of the
freedmen, or one half of one per cent of
the whole, has ever called upon the Gov
eminent for relief! These people are
better off than ever before, and are yearly
adding largely to the national wealth.
They are doing quite as much to develop
the resources of the South, and to add to
the material prosperity Of the country,
as any other class of laborers. Thus is
freedom again happily justified by her
works. "a

ANTI Observation-Disclosures Carpenter in
speaking on the Ocean Telegraph bill ON
the 21st, said that if the liberties of the
people were endangered in any one respect
more than an another it was by the growth
of monopolies and the ease with which
charters were passed through State Leg
islatures-a fact that no matter how
improper the obligations of contracts thus
secured, they, according to judicial decig-
ions could not be impaired; bur the
Constitution imposed no such restriction
like that imposed upon the States, that no
law impairing the obligation of contract
shall pass. AS question of power If
was within congressional province to re-
peal every charter heretofore made bu
Congress. He deemed it vastly important
that in this country Congress should clear
ly assert that power, and believed it the
duty Of Congress, under its power. to
regulate commerce and extend the reou-
lations over the telegraph and railroad
system of the several states. He fayoured
the bill and the amendment because off
their implied assertion that at any time
eminently proper, Congress may make the
assertion Of its absolute power to REGULATE

years of age was bitten by a rattlesnake

fire was applied short time after he was
bitten. / saw him two hours after the
