CONTINENT COVERED WITH Ice
Prof. Agassiz comes to the conclusion that
the continent of North America was once
covered with ice for a mile in thickness,
thereby agreeing with Prof. Hitchcock and
other eminent geological writer's concern
ing the glacial period. In proof of this
conclusion, he says that the slopes of the
Allegheny range of mountains are glacier
worn to the very top, except a few points
which were above the level of the icy mass.
Mount Washington, for instance, is over
SIX thousand feet high, and the rough, I'M

In this age and country every Catholic 10
bound to be missionary. He has constantly
to combat the ingenious errors and sophistries
OF heresy. Either by an intelligent explana.
ton of the truth as 1t is or by lending good
books to persons who doubt, he may do works
of real and inestimable value.
It is, therefore, of great Importance that oil
Catholics of q little means should be diligent
sna liberal, and collecting q small library of
the best works, both for their own preparation
to meet such questions and for the purpose of
lending to the most sincere and earnest among
| their adversaries.
For either of those purposes we cannot
| recommend better work than the one which
we now notice. 1t goes to the root Of the
whole controversy of the day. 1t distinctly
declines discussing the thousands of theologi.

working out, and confines itself to the sole

late Conception and multitudes of other ques-
tions ON which the most learned aud acute
casuits could dispute forever. Are all men

find out the truth the whole truth and nothing
but the truth from the Bible, has Christ ap-
pointed and set apart q priesthood to teach
that truth to them with infallible accuracy on
all questions' This is the grand question
which, if answered in favor of the Catholic
settles all others instantly and puts an end to
all doubt and difficulty, and this is the ques-
tiou to which the work under consideration is
devoted. To add that it is therein treated
with the greatest clearness and ability is un-
necessary considering its authorship.

There Is really but one construction to be
put upon Mr.. Summers departure for Eu-
tOpe-a confession Of defeat. For the last
two wears Mr.. Sumner has fought Gen. Grant
In public and private fought him because he
could not control his administration and reg
ulate It's policy. Ills FIRST quarrel was on the
subject OF the Alabama claims. Mr.. Motley
was made Minister to England. He was the
intimate and rersOnal friend Of the Massa-
chusetts senator, and both Of them seemed
TO have entered into conspiracy to niEnGS"
our controversy with Great Britain Us to them
seemed proper, Mr.. Motley looked for his
instructions TO Mr.. Sumner Instead Of 10 the
President and to the Secretary OF state.
Gen. Grant promptly found successor to
Mr.. Motley, and Mr.. Fish closed q correspOn-
dence with him in letter which is among
the abest aud the most scathlng to he found
In our diplomatic annals.
Mr.. Sumner resented what his colossal
egotlsm construed to be an insult, and lmme'
diately began to aveuge It. The Santo Do
mingo question afforded him the opportunity,
and he began what he was pleased TO term
'war" upon the Administration. Since

This story Is familiar to our readers, and We
have no desire to go over 1t. He driited into
the Liberia! movement, and was vain enough
90 imagine that he could defeat General
Grants nomination at Philadelphia by a sin
gle speech. The answer which the cOnycn-
ton gave to his TRADE the denomination o.
General Grant aud the nomination Of his
colleague, Henry Wilson, upon the second
place on the ucket-was not sufficient to con
vince him OF the folly Of his COuTso, and we
next Rnd him writing u letter CndcayOring u
seduce the colored race from their allegianc,
10 the Republican party.
North Carolina answered him In tones that
he could not but understand; aud from every
section Of the country, from every loyal hear
there come rebuke such US has rarely beel
administered to any man in public life. Mr.
Sumner remained In this city for few weeks
gloomy and nisanthropic, and a short tim,
ago returned to his Massachusetts, home Il
mud his old friends alenatcd; the men with
whom hehad stood for thirty years cstraugcd
deserted by his constituents abandoned by
all who had ever followed his standard

Mr.. Sumner Is at last conylnc d that hv ha
made great and grave mistake. 1t Is ox
Rctly seventeen years since he last left on
shores for Europe. Then Mr.. sumner, th
young champion of freedom, bore the scar
Of the ruiiian champion of slavery. To-da
he leaves tho republic wounded and LAGER
