Facts About Niagara,
From Professor Cummings Article in the Popular Sci

From Professor Cummings Article in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly for September.
THE FLOW OF WATER OVER NIAGARA.
Another element in the problem of Nj
agara's age is the flow of water. To con-
struct scale from the present and apply
it to the past, we should know that the
amount of water in past ages has been es-
sentially the same as now.
About {, 800 cubic miles of water-nearly
half the fresh water on the globe-are in
the upper lakes, and 100000 cubic feet
of this plunge over Niagara Falls every
minute, all the waters of the lakes max
ing the circuit of the falls, the st. Law
renee, the ocean, vapor, rain and lakes
again, in 125 years. Through the Illinois
Canal about 5000 cubic feet of water are
taken every minute from Lake Michigan,
to the Illinois river; through the We'll
land Canal 1900 cubic feet flow every
minute from Lake Erie into Lake Onta-
rio, and through the Erie Canal So 900 Gu
bic feet pass every minute from the same
lake into the Hudson. Thus $1,000 cubic
feet of water, which Nature would give
to Niagara, are diverted every minute by
artificial channels, into some Mexican
gulf and some into the bay of New York.
Add this to Is, 0O0,00 it is as drop i'm the
bucket, and would make no appreciate
difference in the character of the falls or
their rate of recession.

Doolittle's DodgIng.

Ex-senator DooIittle's attempted defence
of himself, which we publish elsewhere,
shows him to be good deal more of a
rogue than even the original correspond
ence revealed. He was accused, on the
evidence of letters in his own handwriting,
of having accepted, while Senator of the
United States, an offer of one-fourth in
terest in a trading speculation that promis-
ed to be very lucrative, and the success of
which he could, through his official posi-
ton, influence more or less. It appeared
from the same letters that Senator Doolit-
tie took the precautiOn, in case his con-
nection with the offence should leak out,
to write himself letter, which his accom-
plice was to copy and ssgn, in which he
complimented himself very highly for his
disinterestedness, and asserted that the of
fer of the fourth part of fortune (too big,
he said, for one man to take care of judi.
ciously,) was pure gratuity, an act of
friendship, inspired by Mr.. Cennatty's ex-
allied admiration of his senatorial ability
and public service.

APPOINTING PARTISANs TO THE BENCH
A Singing Rcbuke for Governor Brown

n Singing Ncbuke Tor governor bfOVn.
The Memphis avalanche, Qnd. Dem, }
in its issue of the 4th, says:
Governor Brown has appointed H. J.
Livingston, ESD, of Brownsville, Cham
cellor of the 10th Judicial District, vice
Judge Fentress, resigned. 1t is not speak
ing disparagingly of Mr.. Livingston to
say that this appointment will not meet
the concurrence of the bar of that district
that much better one could have been
made. The recognized fitness for the po-
sition of such men as Mr.. Wood, of Boil
var, and others, distinguished throughout
West Tennessee for legal ability-which
Mr.. l.. is net-was ignored. Mr.. Living
ston's qualifications are not of the charac-
ter to single him out as Judge Fentress'
successor. But he is an ultra political
partisan, and we fear His Excellency is
giving too much strength to the charges of
his political enemies that the power of of
fetal patronage placed in his hands is be-
ing used to strengthen himself as a parti-
san at the expense of the public interests.
The AU0Ldnche has ever been friendly to
Governor Brown. 1t first nominated him
for Governor, and took not incOnspicu-
GUS part in the movement which placed
him in his present position. The revolt
against partisan and ring rule, which is
spreading through Tennessee like wildfire,
has received much. of its force from just
such actions as this. This. revolt is casting
odium on what is called the military
ring;;n and we hope Governor Brown,
whom the people have hOnored, will not,
in the pursuit of his personal ambition,
forget that the masses have the power to
unmake as well as to make their public
servants. In enacting the role of a mere
partisan, looking to selfish ends, a man in
Governor Browns position is playing with
fire which may consume him. We should
regret to see him tanning its flames to the
destruction of a career that promises to be
both long and useful

THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION.
Some of IDS Noted Leaders.

"Mack," of the st. Louis Democrat
telegraphs as follows of the Bourbon Con
yention at Louisville:
All the first class newspapers are repre-
sented here, just as they were at Cincin-
natl, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and
every correspondent have met is astonish-
ed at the size and Importance of the gath
ering here. They have quit calling it a
side-show, and begin to think it is quite a
convention.
A portion of the New York delegation
arrived to-day. Among them were Brick
Pomeroy, Judge Spaulding and Peter Gil
sey. The latter is a very wealthy man,
proprietor of the hotel which bears his
name. He is native German and has
great influence in New York city. In con-
versation with him 1 learned that in his
judgment the s.
DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO aREEL Ely
would give New York State to Grant by a
large majority, unless Greeley was with
drawn between now and November <.
AS a business man and capitalist he
could not help trying to defeat Greeley,
whose election he believed would ruin the
business and commercial interests of the
country.
Judge Van Allan thinks it better TO he
beaten on an honest issue than to win I'M
der such pretense as the Democratic par
ty is now making. But he says that with
or without a Bourbon ticket Greeley is
beaten, and he thinks there is a strong
probability that he will be withdrawn be-
fore the October elections, as the only
means of saving the party in Indiana,
Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
L met Charles w. Woolly, of Cincin-
natl to-day. Woolly is known as Pendle-
TOMS great chamDiOn in 1888 and since
He is disguised with the Greeley move
ment. however, and says it was the result
of a big fraud perpetrated by Frank Blair
and Wash Mclean.
Woolly says there are four anti Greeley
Democrats 10 every Liberal Republican in
Ohio. and that thousands who will vote
for Democratic Congressman in October,
will vote against Greeley, or will not vote
at all in November. s%s

To the Editor of the Commercial:
Gross injusticeis done the delegation of
gentlemen from New York forming the
only representatives of the true Democrat
ic party of the day from that State. One
would suppose from reading your dispatch
from New York that they were a set of
loafers and blackguards of the lowest or
der. s....-.- ...-4s ...s.....
Let me tell yop, the party of gentlemen
that passed through your city this morn
ing to Louisville represent over twenty
millions of capitalin New York City.
They are men of integrity, worth, and
influence, and represent the better portion
of the old Democratic party, are led by no
body and pay their own way. 81

east is the residence of Mrs. Branner, fine
tin covered brick structure, surrounded by
farm quite worthy of the house. Just
east stands the residence of Ben Branner,
with an enormous barn, surrounded by
near twenty finer hay stacks than we have
seen anywhere. A few steps southeast is
the home and farm of Mr.. Odel, who
made thousand bushels of wheat
this year. A short distance south
is itiles residence. of Mr.. Mountc astle,

and corn come out of the mulatto soil
around here in abundance. The creek, IT.

This moss is limber-stemmed growth,
from one to three feet long, covered from

grows in the bed of the creek from Its
source to its mouth and confines the water
to narrow channel in the center of the

stream and wags as eternally as clock
