BEAUTIFUL IRELAND.


We know, of course, that Ireland is called
the Emerald Isle" and the color OF the
emerald is green, but never had Il entered
into our imagination that there was any
where In this world to be seen such Verdure
as it charmed our eyes to look upon in the
rural districts Of Ireland The slopes, the
knobs, the dells, fields of young grain, over
which the breezes creep ike playful spirits
of the beautiful; the pastures, dotted
over with sheep Of the purest wool; the
hillsides, raising up into mist-shrOuded
mountains. are all covered with
thick carpets Of smooth, velvet green. But
Ireland should also be called Fl0wery Isle.
There is not spot in Ireland, believe,
where blessed nature can find an excuse
for putting a flower, but she has put one
not only in the gardens and IN the
meadows. but upon the very walls and the
crans of the sea, from the great blooming
rhododendrons, down TO ahe smallest flow
eret that modestly peeps forth from its
grassy cover. The Irish furze, so richly
yellow, covers all places that might other
wise be bare or barren, the silkgorm de
lights everywhere, from thousands OF
trees, to drop its "web Of gold,n the
blooming hawthorn, with the sweet-scented
pink, and especially the white variety,
adorns the landscape and the gardens; wall
flowers, Of every huo and variety, Chamber
to hide the harshness of the mural sup
ports; the beetled cliffs Of the North Sea
are fringed and sofened with lovely how
ers; and if you krleel anywhere almost on
the yielding, velvety carpet, you VIII hn9
little. well-nigh invisible howerets, red
white. blue and yellow, wrought into the
yery woof and texture. Ireland ought to
be called the Beautiful Isle. The spirit Of
the beautiful hoyers over and touches, TO
living loveliness every point.

While the United States Courts, unde
the infamous partizan Ku-Rux law, is en-
gAset in t.rying white citizens of South
Carolina cefore negro juries, upon charges
OF "ge neral conspiracy to hinder divers
color ed voters from exercising the right Of
su .fage,n such scenes as that described be-
.oW are Of common occurrence throughout
the South. The Tallahassee FOridsan, Of
the 18th ult., says: tu
The Radicals, mostly eolored, held a
meeting in the Court House the evening
before the election. with Mr.. Edwards in
the chair. Peter Hall, quiet and peacea-
bic colored man, was called on for speech
after several Others had GRATED. He got
Iu3 very quietly and told the meeting that
lhe was Democrat, and gave his reasons
3for being one. II the devil himself had
been turned loose in the room he could
DOT have created a greater commotion
than this announcement produced.
Peter was denounced and threatened,
and men crowded around him In menacing
attitudes, as if ready and anxious to tear
a him in, pieces. He was actually struck by
some one and had to be hurried from the
room for safety. We honestly believe that
If be had remained, he would have been
seriously injured, if not killed. We never
before witnessed such shameful and out
rageous conduct on the part of large por-
tion of the meeting"
Had white Democrats treated Radical
negro in that lough manner, they would
have been arr ested long ago.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The Times believes the
American Government has no intention to
make exorbitant demands of indemnity foI
losses before the Geneva tribunal; that its
main desire is to obtain public acknow-
Judgement that the positions it took during
the war were founded on reason. The
Times says it is desirable that no encourage
ment should be given to beiligerents bring,
ing extravagant claims against neutrals fol-
constructive injuries.
The Cologne Gazette asserts that the
United States claim an enormous amount
Of indemnify, so that when deductions are
made they may receive handsome sum.
This, the Gazette denounces as an artful,
unworthy trick, but it is not sorry that the
only two nations which furnished supplies
to France during the war with Germany
are now similarly set by the ears.

PUzZLING QUESTIONS.
Authenticated Instances OF Living
Animals Embodied in Stone and In
Growing Trees.

Authenticated Instances OF living
Animals Embodied i'm Stone and i'm
Growing Trees.
A writer in Chambers Journal confounds
the philosophers with hard questions. He
enumerates the long list of well authenti-
Gated instances Of animals being held invol-
unfairly prisoners of nature, and then he
demands reason for this anomalous state
of things. A few of his perplexities are
curious enough. Some workmen ina quar-
nv at BorIrsire, Gotha, having detached a
large piece of stone from the mass, opened
it and found in the center live toad. 1t
was of a dark gray color, its back little
speckled. The aperture of his mouth was
covered with fine. membrane, as were also
the eyes. 1t could wink, but seemed in
capable of any other motion. 1t lived but
a short time after regaining its liberty. In
1719, near Caen, live toad was found in
the trunk of an elm tree, four feet above the
root and exactly in the center. The tree
was perfectly sound and about as thick as a
mans body. No place could be discerned
through which it was possible for the ami
NAL to have penetrated. As soon as the wood
was cut away, the toad, which was a large
one, crawled out and skipped away as if
glad to escape.
These facts and many others of similar
character led Mr.. Herrisan, a French SGUant
to make some curious experiments. In
February, iii, he inclosed three live toads
in as many cases of plaster, and shut them
I'D in deal box. In April, 1774, he open
ed the boxes and found the cases whole.
| On breaking the cases he found two of the
| toads alive, but the third had died martyr
| to science. They were handed over to the
Academy of Sciences, and careful exam
| ipation showed that the animals had DO
communication with the, external air, anC
must have existed without the slightes
nourishment. The same experimenter in
closed some toads in glass, so as to Observ'
their movements, bat to the detriment
science and relief of the tOads, he sooE
! died, and the investigation stopped.
The writer from whom we quote alsC
mentions other animals that have beer
found in equally strange quarters. A
Toulon, oysters fit to eat are tequentl.
| found in pieces of stone. In Spain, TIVE
live worms were found in the middle OF ;
block of marble which sculptor was cary
ing into a lion for the roya
family. These worms occupied small cayi
ties to which there was no inlet tina
could possibly admit the air. In France
in 1772, an adder was found alive in th
center of a block Of marble thirty feet il
diameter. In GuadeloUpe live frogs Al
found in beds of petrifaction. In thes
and many other cases given by the writer
his perplexity. of course, is to know hoy
the animals got in there in the first plae'
and then how they managed to subsi
when they were in.

THE GLACIERS OF AMERICA.
Interesting speculatiOns Regarding
Their Origin.

Interesting SpeculafiOns Regarding
Their Origin.
Prof. James D. Dana, the distinguished
geologist of Yale, has just published in the
american Journal Of Science an interesting
and valuable paper "on the position and
height of the elevated plateau in which the
glacier of New ENGLAND and the glacial era,
had its origin" The Professor introduces
his research with the remark that ''the ex-
istenee of region of high elevation in
Northern America as the source of a COL
tinued glacier in the glacial era has often
been assumed, but rather because the glacial
theory was lame without it than as result
of special research with respect to the ex-
tent and location ofsuch a region" Prof.
Dana then concisely gives the direction of
the glacial furrows or scratches crossing the
Green and White mountains, and shows
that they could not have been made with
the land of North America at its present
level, and that these scratches on { rocky
summit of New England point toward some
great region of elevated lands, o. the slopes
of which the stupendous glacier began its
southerly motion. He gives it as his opin-
ion that the icy plateau whence the great
glacier took its departure must have existed
somewhere on the western border OF Hud-
som bay, and that the glacier moved south
eastwardly down the valley Of the Ottawa
and on the slopes to the east OF it, having,
to this distant day, the track Of its course
engraved deeply, in the Rocky Mountain
lianks. With from 5000 to 5000 feet
thickness of ice, the glacier kept on its
course, guided only by the general slope Of
the land, but at the same time moulded it
self into the larger valley, and into many
even of the local slopes. The immense cold
that is known to have existed in the Amer
ican siacial era is also naturally accounted
for # the land of Northern Canada was a
great plateau, being an elevation higher than
the summit of Mount Washington.
The upward movement of the glacial era,
which carried the north at least 5000 feet
above its present level, was followed by the
slow subsidence of the champion period, /"
when the same lands sunk to greater ex-
tent than they had previously been raised,
letting down the valley of the st. Lawrence
about Montreal, five hundred feet below its
present level, and probably one thousand
feet below its glacial era level. With the
sinking of the land began the melting OF the
glacier. Owing to the sinking of the sur
face in the north, northern and southern
rivers had their slopes greatly lessened, and
in some cases made quite level for long
distances, and by vast deposits of drift the
Niagara and other rivers had their channels
so obstructed that they were forced to cut
new passages, while other water courses OF
the glacial era were wholly cut of, as that
from the Champlain lake down the Hudson
| valley. Then came the 'terrace era during
which the land reached its present level
while the river channels were deepened, and
the lake and terraces, which now cover the
| continent, were formed.

SALT LAKE.
Brigham Young Arrested for
Murder.
He is Refused Bail.

SALT LAKE, Jan. Brigham Young
was arrested this morning, at his residence
in this city, BY the United States Marshal
on the charge of murder. An application
for release on bail win be heard at 2 P. NJ.
by Judge McKeon.
M.-Brigham Young, in custody of the
United States Marshal, accompanied by
George A. Smith, Daniel H. Wells, Il. b.
Clawson, and other high church dignita-
ries, appeared before Chief Justice Mexican
this afternoon under Indictment for murder.
The court room was crowded. The crowd
was suffocating. Much anxiety was evinced
on the part of the Mormons but not the
least show of disorder or liisrespect to the
court. Hon. c. ii. Hampstead and Thos,
Fitch are counsel for the prisoner and United
States Attorney Bates for the prosecution.
Hampstead moved that the prisoner be
admitted 10 bail on the ground that be was
an old man, seventy-one years OF age, in
feeble health and had come four hundred
miles TO meet this and ali other charges,
and his physician certified that imprison-
ment would imperil his life.
Bates offered no opposition to the bail
but suggested if bail was taken it be fixed
at $500, 1000.
Judge McKeon said the Government Of
the United States has no jail in this city
holding prisoners arrested on process issued
from the United States Courts. The Mar
shall was required to exercise the discretion
which the law vests in him. Some such
prisoners were kept at Camp Douglas, but
the Commander Of that post was not OBJ
lged to receive them. The prisoner was
the reported owner of several houses in the
| city. If he choose to put under the control
of the Marshal some suitable building, OF
portion of building, in which to be de-
tanned, it will be for the Marshal to decide
whether to adopt it. 1t is the option of the
prisoner to make such an offer. In any
event, the Marshal will look to it that every
comfort of the prisoner be provided for
remembering that he is an old man. de-
cline 80 admit the defendant to bail.
On leaving the Court Brigham rendered
the Marshal his residence, in South Temple
street, which was accepted, and Brigham is
now prisoner in his own house.

THE WHARTON TRIAL.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 2.-In the Wharton
case, on the examination of DR.. Reese, he
stated that he believed the tets Of Aiken
and Toney defective and inaccurate. No
poisons can be recognized by any exclusive
symptoms. There are some dozen irritant
poisons, the symptoms Of which closely re-
sembled each other. If poison could be
recognized by the symptoms alone, there
would be no necessity for a post mortem
examination. He testified that the cause
of death can not always be decided by the
pathological signs observed after death
From the evidence given by Drs. Williams,
Mills and Chew, as to the symptoms, and
from the post morten examination, he could
not form the opinion that Gen. Ketchum
died from poison, as such evidences might
result from natural causes.
DIR. Kelso was subjected to rigid eros;
examination which did not differ materially
from the direct. Court adjourned.
