There was Inortify ing scene, We
arc told, upon the honr Of the House,
yesterday, while the bill to Increase
the salaries Of the Circuit and Su-
premc Court Judges was under dis.

tionaries, it is said, we're upon the
floor of the House, talking 20 mem
hcrs and enleavoriug to persuade
them to support the measure. 10
what have wc come, when Judges,
presumed to be the purest and most
dign'fed of all public officials, stoop
to soil the judicial crminc by lobby.

Mt. Zion Col .cge.

Excrciscs we've rcsumcd yesterday
at this time hororcl institution under
very tlattcring auspices. Tho new
Principal, Mr.. Il. II. Clarkson, com cs
to the community with the highest
recommendations, and brings to Mt.
Hon both experience aud reputation
as an instructor Of youth. We in
dAlgo the hope that hc may receive
from our people Il hearty support, and
patronage commensurate with his
morits. Tho institution over which
he has been called to preside has been
for nearly century the pride of the
District, ard is one among tho very
few landmarks of our former great
ness spared to us by the vicissitudes of
war. Daring the past fow years i. has
had to contend with many serious dis
advantages, and has not had that en-.
couragomcnt that it deserved. We
are satisfied that Mr.. Clarkson will
bend all his energies towards making
1t tirSt class school, and will use
every effort to raise it to that high
standard that once distinguished it.
10 accomplish this end, he must have
tho cordial cooperation Of cvery
friend of education in tho community
and County. We trust ho may re.
ceivo this without stint, and with
hearty good will, and that his labors
may meet with unprecedented SUCCESS.

depends are dcromposcd rocks, not so
much those that undcr!ia the so,l, those
on the Snrfa,c, and brought from a
considerable distance, and ground to
powder by the rasping the glaciers.
Ice all over the continent is the auet,t
that has ground out more soil than
all other agencies put together. Che
penetration Of water into the rocks.
frosts, running water and baking suns
have done sou c,hing, but the glaciers
more. III former age the whole
United States was covered with ice
several thousand feet thick and this
ice, moving from north to south by
the attraction of'ho tropical warmth
or pressing weight Of the SNOW and
ice behind, ground the rocks over
which it passed into the paste which
we call soil. These masses of ice
can tic tracked as game is tracked by
the hunter. lie has male study Of
them in this c"uhtry as far south as
Alabama, but has observed the same
phenomenon in EUROPE, particularly
IN Italy, where among the Alps, gla-
c';ra are now in progress. The
stones and rocks gronnd aud polished
ny the glaciers can easily be Gi,tin.
gnlshed from those scratched by run
ming water. The angular boulder,
found in meadows an,i the terraces of
rivers not rcact.ci by water can be ac.
counted for only in this way.

lhc mode Of treatment is as follows
when the preceding fever is at its
hight, and just before the eruption ap.
pears, the chest is rubbed with cru.cn
OIL and tartaric ointment. This caus.
es the whole eruption to appear on
that part of the body to the relief of
the rest. 1t also secures n full and
complete eruption, and thus prevents
the disease from attacking the inter.
nal organs. This is now the establish
ed mode of treatment in the Eoglish
army in China, and is regarded as a
perfect cure.
