sI DISAPPEARANCE AND REAPPEARANCE
OF LAND.-By this never ceasing process
the beds Of all rivers are swallowed while
estuaries and the seas into which they
wait the earth held in solution, are grad
ually filing up With accumulated mud. -
By pressure from the great weight of wa
ter above, the soft bed slowly hardens,
and in time, aided by other agencies in
nature, becomes stratum of stone.
but one fact is more valuable in the
estimation Of doubtcrs in regard to the
ever-changing condition of matter than a
whole volume of descriptive phenomena.
Where the Zuyder Zee now is, within
historical times was dry land in the thir-
teenth century. In that territory were
two lakes. A mighty inundation broke
through the neck of land between them,
and the gates of Utrecht. From that
period for two hundred years the water
gained and finally got the ascendency,
swallowing up extensive forests and
tracts of cultivated land not only that,
but the submerged ground seems to have
sunk very considerably, as large vessels
at this particular epoch sail freely over
where were once fine roads and beautiful
fields Lastly, in 1906; the fresh water
was wholly displaced by an influx Of salt
water, and those islands now marked on
charts were cut off from the mainland
Thus the Zuyder Zee became an arm
of the sea. This is one example of the
law of terrestrial changes.

Masonic.


+ Very sensible is, the following which
we clip from an address delivered some
time since by Grand Chaplain John 6.
Webster, of New York: fa 49, ~
"Freemasonry never yet, as | have
heard, attempted to work miracles. 1t
never yet Infused brains into a Uranium
that had no cavity for their receptions,
nor did il ever send human blood eours-
ing through a heart Of granite, nor make
man out of natural bern beast, and |
don suppose it ever will. Its mission
Is to Improve, not to create, and the ma
terlai for its use must be capable OF being
moulded, or it cannot work it up. Again,
Masonry is not religion, in a sectarian
sense, nor substitute for it, and he who
pretends that, or declares it to be "a good
enough religion, for him, hoists il out of
Its legitimate place. infilcts upon it a
grievons wrong, and lays himself open
to the suspicion ofignorance of its teach
iugs. While it inculcates firm faith in
the Being and divine attributes of God,
almighty and eternal. and wi1le it in
cludes within its acknowledged brother
hood, standing side by side upon the
same level of manhood, my Hebrew
brother, who worships God il unity, and
myself, who worship him triune; and
while 1t presents to me, as 1t does not to
him, the story of Messiah in many of its
ceremonies and while it inculcates to
both of US alike reference of the Divine
Being, attention to His word, and invo-
cation for His aid in all our laudable un-
!dertakingS, it imposes upon. neither. re
ligious dogma. 1t leaves that for diff
erent department. of mans duties. 1t
is 20 substitute for that department.,
never was intended to be, and never will
be pretended to be, by the well instruct
ed Mason.
The following by Grand Master Charles
G. Clark. of North Carolina. we com
mend to;he fraternity:
Profanity and drunkenness should
surely come within the prohibition Of
masanie authority, since they offend
againt every rule of gentlemanly pro

certainly cannot mean not 20 bea gentle

KfsIing Time-..The time 40 XIII.


At last accounts from the region in
Oregon infested By the Modes, and
which has been. humorously christened
the seat of war;" General Gillem was
on the ground, with considerable force,
patiently awaiting the arrival of the
peace commission sent out from Wash
ington to ascertain what is the matter
with Captain Jack and his crew. We
fear this forbeara nee is liable to miscon-
struction by the savages. The first move
nent against them was horribly bungled,
and it was followed by another still more
atrociously mismanaged. So far the
honors Of victory are on their side 1t
isn't a good time for inquiry or negotia-
tons; and, while we wish the commits
sion no harm, We could not find it in our
hearts to mourn much, if the gentlemen
composing it we're by some accident de-
tanned on the way until the somewhat
too patient troops might find occasion to
utterly exterminate the truculent red
skins They were the aggressors the
first shot III this most wretched trayesty
of war came from them, and it is rather
humiliating to think that vengeance for
the eowardly butcheries with which they
followed up their first success is to be de
layed if not wholly defeated by parleying.
TIE obliteration of the Modocs would be
the most effectual thing that could be
done in the interest of peace-a permao
nent peace with the Pacific coast Indians.
Delay and discussion will be taken as an
of weakness, and probably en-
others to follow Captain Jack 10
acts of hostiiity.-E,G.

We learn from Washington dispatch
that one OF the most remarkable claims
ever presented to Congress was recently
passed by the Senate. and is now before
the House 1t is for S908. 66, being the

one William Robertson called ON him
and claimed the boy as MS property, and
sought to take him away. General Ut
ley called the claimants attention to the
additional article of war, of March, l3,
1862, aud said he must be governed by
that. If the boy would go back without
force beng resorted to, the officer would
have no objections. but the boy prayed
for protection, saying that he had been
hired out 10 cruel master, till he was l9
years of age. and the hirer had beaten
him and otherwise cruelty treated him,
and he had sought protection OF his own

ran away and came into the camp of
General Utley, as already stated. The
General refused to give up the boy, and
Robertson left without him. A few
days subsequently suit was brought
against the officer for the value of the
boy. Soon after Utley was taken priso-
ner by the Confederates. at Springhili,
Tenn. and heard no more about the boy
until 1868, when suit was brought in the
Circuit Court of Wisconsin to collect a
/ Judgment rendered the year before, for
! S9oS.0 6 and costs, amounting to $26 40
exactly. General Speed defended the
suit, but the officer was forced to pay the
money. The Senate bin is for the pur-

get rid of it. Bleed, blister, drug, dose,
poison the blood. saturate the vital or

lure, ana with potencies of high and low
degree; some Of them may kit it and
kill it, and that is curing it.

ABOUT GOATS.

A retired clergyman sends the Danbu-
ry Nea0s an. account of little affair that
happened in his place Itappears that
there was young woman, fine spirited
girl engaged at a wash tub, opposite an
open door. just behind her was young
man, as is generally the case and in the
yard was an old buck that was allowed
the freedom of the pemises, which is not
always the case. we are glad to say
Well, this buck came up to the door and
looked in, and the young man, going
close behind the young woman, poin ted
his finger straight at the buck, and the
o d fellow recognizing atonce'the pressing
character of this mute invitation, put
down his head and dashed forward, and
the miserable man stepped one side and
fed, and the young woman, ell uncon-
scious OF the arrangement, received the
awful shock without warning and passed
over the tub, and the air for an instant
appeared to be full of slippers. aud wet
clothes, and hot water and suds. And
the next minute that goat came flying
out of that door at dreadful speed, bald
the whole length of his spine, and with
a wild look in his eye And for an hour
afterward he stood behind the barn,
scratching his chin and trying to recall
all the circumstances in the unfortunate
affair. .i.1 ~. fr
