Having shown the inadequacy Of the
theory Of elevation, Mr.. Perry finally no.
ticed tho theory ofglaciation substantially
as proposed and defended by Prof. Agas-
siz Hc inquired whether all the main
facts passed in review be not just what
we must suppose they would have been
in case the country had been covered by
an immense sheet of ice moving slowly
southwark.
In the light of this view he indicated
how the several classes of effects indica-
tive of ice agency receive a simple and
easy explanation, and especially that the
more difficult phenomena, as perched
rocks, elevated pot-holes, the Ripen beach,
the Berkshire boulder-trains, and other
kindred points, are not anomalies, but

working of the great agency characteris-

A Midnight Revery.


am leaning from the window,
Looking out upon the night;
All the world is sweetly sleeping,
While the mellow, golden light
OF the rolling moon. is warder,
Peering into each recess,
Here babe, and there blossom,
Docs it greet with soft caress
am leaning frcm the window,
There, beneath me, is the brook
With the shadows on its surface,
Like the pages of a book,
Shadows of the little blossoms,
Shadows of the mountains grand,
Traced upon that shining tablet
BY the Mighty Limner's hand.
There read of joys and sorrows;
There l read of hopes and fears;
'Tis the book of life that opens,
And the pages are the years;
But each dark and frowning mountain,
Aye each pang of pain or woe,
Is reflected in surface,
Bright and pure as crystal snow.
am leaning from the window,
Yonder, on the sloping lea,
Sphere on sphere, the gray clouds tumble,
Like the waves upon the sea;
And the moon smiles down upon them,
And its scintilsting beams
Glorify their broken surface,
With million darting CLEANS.
Oh! It's beautiful, enhancing,
Sleeping earth, and sleeping sky,
With the breathless, deathless music
Of the spheres for lullaby.
Oh! can heaven be more lovely,
Is its broad expanse more fair!
Were it sacrilege to question:
God, alike, reigns here as there.
am leaning from the window,
Looking out upon the night,
And the shining clouds have vanished,
And the moon has sunk from sight;
But star in the horizon,
Ushers in the dawn Of day,
Angel throngs are gathered round thee,
Stoop, my soul, thy reverence pay.
'Tis the star of hope that rises,
Guiding to a land of Bliss
And the day of joy is dawning,
On brighter world than this.
Friends and loved ones, all united
Never, never more to part;
What n glad and holy union.
Kindred soul and kindred heart.

FENCE OR NO FENCE.

We expected an article opposed to fence
laws, even in these foot hills, for this number
of the HERALD, by friend living in this
community, but we have not received it,
We are aware that there are two sides to
this question, and we are disposed to give
both a fair showing in our columns. The
greatest good to the greatest possible number
in any particular community is what we de-
sire 70 arrive at, and this can only be reached
by hearing both sides of any question, and
to this end we now say that our columns are
open to the discussion, temperately, respect
fully and at moderate length, of this fence
or no fence question, as applicable to these
foothills. Whatever may be the force of
argument on either side, there is one thing
that the Placer delegation in the Legislature,
and other mountain members, must not lose
sight of for moment in this fence or no
fence law question. We think that no
fence law should not apply and be enforced
in the whole of Placer county, if in any
portion of it, and the point most to be
guarded is, where shall the line be between
the fence and no fence territory. If Sacra-
mento, Sutter, Yuba, or even portion Of
Placer want trespass law and no fences,
then our delegation must insist on inserting
clause prohibiting the stock of these coun-
ties or territory from coming into Placer, oil
being driven here by their owners, and this
clause must provide for the summary and
final disposal of all stock reaching our terri
tory, except that which is merely transitory
If we are to protect our crops, vineyards,
orchards, etc, by fences, it is lis that must
have the use of the public common, which
we have made at our own expense, for oul
own stock. 1t would be unjust, almost in
sane Legislation that would make the people
of this county fence to protect their crops
and then allow men from the valley counties
to overrun us with stock and eat out ou,
range every Summer, and leave our owr
stock to starye and die in the Winter. We
feel confident that our Senators and Assem-.
blymen will take the same view of this ques
ton that we do, and see that no undue advan
tage is taken of their constituents on thi
fence law question.

IlRKIy,S SCHOOL BILL.

r., r;ncr,e involved in Larkins reso-

education is simply to consolidate the ;, 'al'.
ons school taxes, or rather, abolish "'' wv
,Lo ctate tax and raise that to an amo"n'
efficient to maintain free school IN ea'"
1;,,r;o+ IN tbe State for eight months IN 'h'
wear. The object sought to be reached Is a
GOOD and lust one and ought not to mee'
5 T,;,h onnosition from any quarter. The Sac-
.,n,antn ~" Union favors the bill, but for differ
ent reasons (good ones we admit) than 1T. It's
friends in the country rely upon we ash
# os matter of justice to correct 'ofin',
wrong, and in part compensate the fu'a'
counties for that wrong. On the adn''sslon !,

70 N. inhabitants of townships of SIX mics
,ho .ouor. two entire sections OF laho'
10th and 3Cth sections Q,2oo acres')
for the benefit Of public schools in sad town
SHIN In 1867 bill was passed, at the In
stance or S. B. Wyman, member from
this county, providing for tie sale OF 'heSe
sections on credit, and the payment OF the
interest into the County Treasury for the
beneft Of the schools in the townships
Subsequently the members from the counties
generally covered by Spanish grants and the
cities, aided by such scallawags as John
Conness, repealed this bill, and threw these
lands and their proceeds into a common
school fund to be divided pro rata among all
the children of the State. To show the IN
ius,ice of thi. law we will here show its ei-
feet on Placer and San Francisco counties.
Placer had, and would receive, under this
law, not less than GO, 600 acres of land to be
sold at 81 per acre, the purchaser to pay ten
per cent per annum, which would have given
her s12 600 per annum for schools in the
townships. San Francisco has one quarter
of the children of the State and no school
lands Thus Placer gives Sl4 out of every
SIS of her legitimate school endowment to
San Francisco. And now we hold that after
We have and are doing this, that it is but
lust that the remainder of the school fund
should be raised by general State tax III
proportion to the value of property in every
portion Of the State. SO much for what the
cities owe the country children and for the
equities of the I.arkn bill. If tie money
to keep up a school for eight months in the
year is to come directly from the State Treas
ury, it would seem that the salaries Of the
teachers should be graded according to the
grade of the certificate and school, or at
east some limit placed on the prices trustees
can pay teachers. Instances might occur
where trustees would be extremely libcr al
seeing that whatever they agreed to pay
amounted to nothing comparatively to the
taxpayers of the district. Dsconncct thil
bill from the idea of centralization in public
schools, enforced text books and the robbery
of the parent of the control of his children
education and it will do.

MISSED Ir.-Ou Thnrsday last the Signal
Corps, or Experimental Bureau Department
Of the Government, announced the greatest
storm that ever visited the Pacific coast and
interior would occur in California on ycster-
day. This announcement induced Superin-
tendent Townc to send dispatches to all agents
and employees of the G. p. r. Il. company
to prepare and hold themselves in readiness
for the emergencies of great storm. The
signal corps had several times predicted with
reasonable accuracy the occurrence of storms,
and this WAS nothing but reasonable and
commenJable caution on the part of Super
intendcnt Townc. The news had spread
broadcast all over the country from the diff
ferent stations, and on yesterday everybody
was ready for terrible storm, but there
was no storm up to this writing, 1 o'clock
P. NJ, Friday, and the general impression
not in scientific circles--is that the signal
corps is a blk, and that Superintendent
Townc with all those under him arc among
the worst of the bilked.

THE LAW OF LIBEL.

The press of the State have almost unani-
mously demanded change in the law of libel,
or rather, farther legislation TO protect pub
fishers from malicious, blackmail, shyster
persecution. We have always favored the
severest penalties for the wiful and mali
cious libeing of any one by a publisher,
even to making the very type responsible,
and to the present law we have no objections
so far as it goes. The writer or informant,
if known or revealed, should be the first
party prosecuted, and second the publisher,
whether by printing or otherwise. This the
law should provide for, as all law should be
directed first against the real criminal. Jures
are the safest judges, except in times Of great
excitement. The real legislation wanted on
this question is to provide a remedy for the
defendant where lie had been wrongfuly
prosecuted, and to this end the Legislature
should enact law giving him the most com
pete remedy demanded by justice. This
remedy would be most readily and easily
provided for in requiring the plaintiff to give
bonds with good security in an amount suf-
fcient to cover all the costs. damages and
attorneys fees accruing to the defendant in
case the verdict is for him. The law re-
quires that bonds must be given before an
attachment can be issued or executed on
property, and yet it would be just as equit-
able to repeal this law as to leave the libel
law as it now stands Under the attachment
law a remedy is provided whereby defend
ant can recover costs and damages if the
suit goes in his favor, and why is the prin
ciple not good in libel? All that we ask is,
that if we are wrongfuly prosecuted and
we prove the fact to the Court and jury. that
we can recover from the plaintiff all that it
has cost us in time, in the procuring OF tes-
timony, attorneys fees, and such damage as
our business has sustained by reason of the
suit, and that is all that any publisher ought
to ask, and less than that is not justice.
The Legislator that refuses this should be
marked by the whole press of the State and
made TO feel his error through all future life.
In framing this simple and just law care
should be taken to make it cover the cases
now pending, for if right, and no man dare
deny its equity, the sooner enacted and en-
forced the better. The law should read,
before the commencement of suit for libel,
or at any time before the final trial Of the
same, or on demand of the defendant, the
plaintiff shall enter into bonds, with good
and approved sureties, etc, etc, to pay all
costs, damages, attorneys fees, etc. accru-
ing to defendant in case of his obtaining
verdict, etc. Hold the press to rigid re-
sponsibty and hold those who prosecute it
to the same responsibility and we are con-
tent This, we believe, is the voice of every
respectable man and newspaper in the State,
and we will not envy that Legislator his iu
ture reputation that denies the press this
simple justice.
