The Colorado Desert.

Tt is now said that the Colorado de-
sert was once the bed of h sea Care
full instrumental observations have lately
been made which seem to establish the
fact beyond doubt, proving that either
through the gradual exhaustion of the
sources of water supply, or through
some more sudden natural CONFUSION,
the heat of the continent, one occupied
by a vast expanse of water, has been
drained, within a comparatively short
space of time, and changed to dry land.
EDITORIAL OPINIoNs.-An advertise
ment is, as a general rule, ar elaborate
eulogium On The merits of something
which the advertiser desires to sell.
The editors and publishers of the paper
in which it appears are not responsible
for its statements. Sometimes, how
ever, highly important discoveries or
inventions announced to the world
through the business department of the
| press, seem to demand a few words OF
editorial commentator. We have no
| hesitation in saying that the excellent
medicine introduced by DIR. Joseph
| Walker, of California, under the name
of VINEGAR BITTERs, bel ngs 10 this
| category, and has a just claim to q favorable
| notice. There can be no doubt as to It's utility
| as a tonic, stomachic and Alternative. We are
cogniZant of many instances IN when 1t mas
cured cases of chronic dyspepsia, supposed to
| be 1ncurable, and know that the estimation in
| which it is held as a remedy for bilious and
nervous disorders, Intermittent and remlttent
fevers, rheumatism and general debility, is
founded on experience and well deserved.
The testimony of " q cloud of witnesses" goes
to show that it is epinently useful in a large
majority of the disorders to which the human
family are subject. The fact that it contains
no alcohol commends it to the confidence of
| that large and increasing class of the com
urunity who insist that all spirituous stimu-
