DEPTH OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

% The main theater of sounding 0pe
rations has been the Atlantic Ocean
which, from its relation to the leading
commercial nations, and for interco n
tinental telegraphic purposes, has
been more carefully surveyed than
any other great body of water, Open
from pole to pole, participating in all
conditions Of climate, communicate
freely with other seas, and covering
90, ,0O0, 900 square miles, it is believed
to represent general oceanic eondi-
tons, and to contain depths nearly If
not quiet, as great as the other ocean
basins Of the world, although but lit
tlei is known, is is true, in this respect
Of the Indian, Antartic, Pacific seas.
The general result Of its soundings
would indicate that the average depth
ofthe Atlantic bed is not much more
than II, 900 feet, and there seem to be
few depressions deeper than Is, 900 or
10000 feet, q little more than the
height of Mont Blanc. -r...fs..s. ...
DIR. Thomas sums up the general re-
suits Of the Atlantic soundings as fol-
fows: vIn the Arctic Sea there is
deep water reaching. to S, 900 feet to
tneiwes and southwest Of Spitzber-
gen. Extending from the coast of
Norway, and including Iceland, the
Farce Islands, Shetland and Orkney,
Great Britain and Ireland, and the
bed Of the North Sea to the coast of
France, there is wide plateau. on
which the depth rarely reaches 5000
feet but to the west of Iceland, and
communicating doubtless with the
deep water in the Spitzbergen Sea,
trough 500 miles wide, and in some
places, nearly 1900 feet deep, curves
along the coast Of Greenland. This is
the path ofone OF the great arctic re-
turn currents, After sloping gTadu-
ally toa depth Of {, 600 feet to the west
ward Of the coast of, Ireland ino latis
tude 52o, the bottom suddenly dips. to-
10, ,0s0 feet, az the rate Of about 10 to.
10 feet in the 100; and from this point
TO within about 200 miles OF the coast
OF Newfouhdianc.i when it begins 10
shoal again, there isa vast unduiatai
ing submarine plain, averaging about
1000 feet in depth below the SUP
face-the telegraph plateau e -u
! "a a valley about 500 miles wide and.
with mean depth Of Is 900 feet
stretches from of the southwest coast
OF Ireland, along the coast of Europe,
dipping into the Bay of Biscay, past
the Strait OF Gibraltar, and along the
west coast Of Africa. Opposite the
Capede Verde Islands it seems to
merge into q slightly deeper trough,
which occupies the axis Of the South
Atlantic, and passes into the Antartic
Sea- A nearly similar valley curves
around the coast Of North America
about 1900 feetin depthi off New
foundland and Labrador, and becom-
ing considerably deeper to the south
ward, where it follows the outline Of
the coast Of the States, and the BAHIA
mas aud Windward Islands, and H.
nally joins the central trough Of the
South Atlantic off the coast of Brazil,
with depth .of 15s000 feet -n-zhe

shrewdness, with money enough to
keep him one year, he is sure to make
money. and in few years place him

come to this State with but little
or no money and do well, yet they
are exceptions. There are very few
that the climate will not benefit or
that will not enjoy good health if
they are only contented and do not get
discouraged. L consider this a very
healthy climate.
The timber and water lands are all
taken in this county, but there is

there is good timber and water lands

When L came here, last August, there
was but three frame buildings in the

From the Danbury News,
TIE BOY WHOSE MOTHER CUTS
HIS HAIR.

You can always tell boy whost
mother cuts his hair. Not because
the edges oft look as If it had been
chewed offby an absent minded horse
but you tell it by the way he stops on
the street and Wriggles his shoulders.
When a fond mother has to cut her
boys hair, she is careful to guard
against any annoyance and muss by
laying sheet on the carpet. It has
never occurred to set him oyer bare
floor and put the sheet around his
neck. Then she draws the front hair
over his eyes and leaves it there while
she cuts that which is at the back.
The hair which lies over his eyes aP-
pears to be sur.charged with electric
needles, and that which is silently
dropping down under his shirt band
appears to be on fire. She has un-
consciously continued to push his
head forward until his nose presses
his breast, and Is too busily engaged to
notice the snuffing sound that is be-
coming alarmingly frequent. In the
meanwhile he is seized with an ire
sistible desire to blow his nose, but
reccollects that his handkerchief Is In
the other room. Then fly lights on
his nose, and does it SO unexpectedly
that he involuntarily dodges, and
catches the points of the shears in bis
left ear. At this he commences to cry
and wish he was q man. But his
mother doesn't notice him. She
merely thumps him on the other ear
to inspire him with confidence and
goes on with the work. When she il
through, she holds his jacket collar
back from his neck, and with her
mouth blows the short bits of hair
from the top of his head down his
back. He calls her attention 70 this
fact, but she looks for new place on
his head and hits him there, and asks
him why he didn't use his handker-
chief. Then he takes his awfully dis
figured head to the mirror and looks
at it, and, young as he is, shudders as
he thinks Of what the boys on the
street will say.

PULLMAN CARS IN ENGLAND
The Pullman Palace cars are to be
run on the English railways. Eng
lish travellers have praised our river
steamers and our railway facilities for
many years, but England has hither-
to made but few feeble. attempts TO
initiate either. Now, a passenger nom

gov will, at least, be able 10 ga a

consignment Of Pullman ears for the
Midland road was shipped from Mon-
treal on "Wednesday last, and consist
ed OF three parlor and three sleeping
cars In sections. A contemporary ex-
Dresses the following opinion Of whzt
England will do when she finds that
there Is actually that frightfnl thing,
an innovation, in the land
The daily papers viii denounce the
attempt TO make Great Britain an
American colony the public will go
into ct Of horror at the publicity OF
the sleeping arrangements; they
will condemn the new cars as extrav-
agant and, after clustering q great
deal about the insolence Of a Western
company daring to infringe upon
their darling miseries with anything
that can alleviate them, finally settle
down into the belief that it is q won
derful invention, and was hrst origi-
mated by an Englishman.

If there is any one thing that is
carried to exees beyond all others in
the West, it is the establishment OF
institutions of learning. The College
business is desperately overdone, and
nowhere more so than in Ohio, where
we have more than sufficient sup
ply for the entire region west of the
Alleghanies. The result is, that
while few enjoy a fair degree of
prosperity, the greater number have
a severe struggle for existence. The
University list, we believe, comprises,
Ohio Wesleyan, Delaware; Denni-
son, Granville; Ohio, Athens, /; Mi
ami, Oxford Otterbein, Westerviile;
Wooster, Wooster; Capital, Column
bus; Baldwin, Berea Urbana, Ur-
bana; Wilberforce (colored), Xenia.
The Colleges: Oberlin, Oberlin !;
Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical,
Columbus; Gambler, Gambler !;
Western Reserve, Hudson; Marietta,
Marietta Antioch, Yellow Springs !;
Wittenburg, Springfield; Buchtel,
Akron; Hiram, Hiram, Portage coun-
ty; Heidelburg, Tiffen; Union, Mt.
Union, Stark county; Alliance, AIli-
alee; Franklin, Athens, Harrison
county. OF this formidable list, our
University stands at the head, both
in regard to prominence and prosper
ity. Oberlin, though the number of
students in attendance is always
large, is seriously embarrassed in its
finances. Miami University, at OK
ford, by vote of Is to of the Board
of Trustees, has been closed. Anti
och, which opened under most favor
able auspices some years since, with
Horsce Mann as President, has hard
work to keep its head above water,
and at the recent Commencement
graduated a class Of only three, one
male and two females. With some
half dozen exceptions, the Others are
in but little better condition, and
their outlook for the future is any
thing but encouraging. We're the
whole number consolidated into
three or five, all might attain 10 emil
nence and prosperity but as there is
no probability of anything of this
kind occurring, the larger number of
them must continue weak and sickly
affairs while they exist, and eventu-
ally 90 to the wall.-DeLds0dre Gdz.

DEATH IN THE EO0DHULL FAM
.rgt A-f rec HF. f-o o. r-ia . g1

Mrs. Utica Broker, aged thirty
one, born in Ohio, died at the resi-
denee OF her sisters, Woodruff and
Clahfn, In New York, at II /: 30 p. M,
on Wednesday. She had been sick IN
bed twelve days and several physic- :
ians, by whom she had been attend-
ed, having failed to agree as to the
cause Of her death, Coroner Herman
went to the house to hold an inquest.
AT the request Of the sisters an autop-
81 was performed by Deputy Coro-
ner Cushman. in the presence of sew
eral physicians. Tennie G. Claf1in
expressed q strong desire to witness
the dissection Of her sister, but Coro-
ner Herman kept her out Of the
room. -.-f.- hla hnlgrl
The autopsy clearly indicated that
death resulted from Bright's disease
Of the kidneys, superindueed by long
intemperance. Several Of the rela-
tives Of deceased testified that she had
been very fntemperate for ten or
twelve years, drinking brandy, gin,
whisky, beer and ale, or whatever
liquor she could procure, and that she
had been known to drink bay rum--
While suffering from excessive ner-
vous excitement she had used 1000
grains Of bromide Of potassium In one
week, and had been known to use
800 grains in q single day. afi rlI
While suffering from delirium tre-
mems, or its incipient stages, she had
often Jumped from her bed and chased
her relatives about the house. Her
sisters stated that she was married,
but that her husband is in Chicago. =
The Jury rendered 3 formal verdict in
accordanee with the statement Of DR..
Cushman. ati 10 s.es1,QsT 6ia siI8ti

BEAUTIFUL MORSE LEGEND.

In this number Of the Atlantic
Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen commences
a Norwegian tale, with the title Of
"Gunnar, q Morse Romance 1t Is
very quaint and charming, 80 far; and
makes one long to sit by. the NoFwe-
gian hearth, and hear the old grand
mother Groom her tales Of Hulder and
Trold and Mckenzie sad, pittying
Necken, who has known sorrow.
For, said the old woman: H q
Love is like fire, child love Is ike
fire. Wounds Of fire are hard to heal
harder still are those OF love-. aNecker
loved a mortal maiden fair was she
like the morning, but tickle as the
sea-wind. 1t was q midsummer
morning he saw her last, and mids
summer night she had promised to
wed him. Midsummer night came,
but she came not It is said TO be
years and years ago; but still the
midsummer night has never missed
him, as he raises his head above ths
water, looking for his bride, when the
midnight hour strikes. Strangely
then, do the mournfnf chords trsmble
through the forests In the lonely night
for he calls for his bride. II they ever
reached her ear no one knows; but
that lad or that maiden who. comes TO
the cataract at the midnight hour win
hear the Turing music, End he who
loves in truth and loves in sorrow
will never 60 away uncontrolled.
Many a fair maiden has spoken there
the desire Of her heart, and has been
heard: Many q rejected wooer
came there with a heart throbbing
with love and heavy with sorrow he
has called for help and help he has
found, If he was worthy thereof For
Necker knows the heart Of man: he
rewards him who Is worthy Of reward,
and Furnishes him who deserves pun
ishment. Many lad wooes a maid-
en- but loves hergold. Such also have
sought the cataract at the midnight
hour; they have never since been
seen, for they never returned. An
invisible arm has hurled them down
into the whirling pools, and their
cries have been heard from afars as
they were seized by the seething rap
ids.

GETTING DIVORCES.

3, The husband can divorce his wife
at pleasure and leave her the charge
Of maintaining their children in the
land Of Cores. Ifshe proves unfaith-
,fnl, he can put her to death. r.ls.e
Tbe irst wife may be divorced in
Siam, but not sold, as the Others may
be. She then may clsim the first,
third, and fifth child, and the alter
nate children are yielded to the hus-
band.
When q man desires q divorce in
the arctic regions, he leaves the house
in angerp and does not return in sew
eral days. The wife understands the
hint, packs up her clothes and leaves.
II the parties choose TO separate IN
Cochin, China, they break pair Of
chopstfcks or copper coin in the pres
ence Of witnesses, by which action
the union is dissolved. The husband
must restore 20 the wifssthe property
belonging to her prior to marriage.
