The Rocky Mountains a Sea.

About hundred miles to the south
east of Hamilton is high plateau Of
land containing an extensive deposit OF
marine shells and the fossil remains OF
a large variety of marine fish. But the
curiosity which most challenges the IN
terest and investigation Of antiquarians
is the petrlied form of what was evil
IDENTIFY once an immense sea monster. 1t
died on light plateau, IN a position
giving rise to theory that its locale was
once great shoal, and the antedeluvlan
leviathan foundered and persisted on It's
surface as the water receded. The pc
trlfication is perfect, and estimated to
weigh about ten tons. 1t presents dull
appearance, the head and body of
humpbacked whale, and the extremities
extend into feelers and .attene like the
polypus or devil-fsh, with the exception
that they were, evidently, during life,
lined with a hard and bony substance.
The ewes are set in each side of the head
which is fiat and oblong, and are twenty
four inches apart. The mouth is armed
with triple rows of teeth, sharp in front,
but underneath and well in the jaw are
turned into grinders, capped by solid
osseous formation, running back from
the widest portions of the head. In this
respect it resembles the celebrated
marsh COW of Central America, amphibi-
Gus in habitat, graminivorous on land,
carrivorous in water. The length OF
this singular relic OF an unknown age
has not yet been determined; but as the
body blends into the tail, it tapers to a
small size, SO that, making Cue allow
ances, the entire weight would not be
far from that stated. This inland coun-
trv abounds in curious fossils of
marine character. We have seen speci-
mems of crustacea, found in our I'M
mediate vicinity, which puzzles acient-
lists and antiquarians.- White Tine

The Fellow that hooks Like he.

Max Adeler, who writes for Phila-

mer. who deserves pity. He was going
I'D to Reading not long since and when
reaching the depot he happened to look
in the ladies room. a woman sat there
with lot of baggage and 3 children, and
when she saw Simmer she rushed at him,
and before he could defend himself she
flung her arms about his neck. nestled
her head upon his breast, and burst into
tears. Simmer was amazed, indignant.

Then she buried her bonnet deeper
into his waist-coat, and began to cry
harder than ever, and said,-

her embrace-While all the brakemen,
and the baggage master, and the news

He looked exactly like Slimmer-and
when he saw his wife in Slimm err arms
he became excited, and foored Simmer

and smote his nose and caromed on his

New polonaises brought cut for com
piete costumes to be worn with black
velvet or silk shirts, are also of matelasse
silk, trimmed with fur, velvet bands, and
rich tri0ges of chenille and jet The skirts
cling to the figure closely without being
dr2ped, and they usually have basques
behind. Palmer polonaises of dark
brown twilled cloth have English basoues
behind. while their loose double-breasted
fronts are belted. They are closed at
the throat, and have, as most all new
garments do, standing, faring collar.
The sleeves have bands turned up from
the wrists, and stretched to represent 8
triple cuff. The edges of the polonaises
are hemmed and machine stitched, with
out other trimming, aud the front has a
single row of dark thick Scotch wood
buttons with eyes. A novel idea among
pclcnaises is that of pleating the back
from the neck to the edge in the fat
pleats described last week for dress skirts.
CASHMERE AND CLOTH WRAPS.
Cashmere wraps are long sacques GOV

Dotted with jet or blue beads, and edged

Senator Morton,s speech.

A great portion of the Sentinels space this
morning is taken up with Senator Morton's
speech at Terre Hsute last night, opening
the Indiana campaign. The speech is very
carefully considered and NAV be SET down
as the very best that one of the most prom
inent men-perhaps the most prominent man
in the republican party has to offer to the
country. Its perusal leaves feeling of dis
appointment, which is not less due to the
defects of the speech than to the over
wrought expectation OF the reader. Like
every utterance of the leaders of the past
era OH the questions OF the present day, il is
weak and unworthy. 1t is not
however uncertain in its sound,
as Senator Morton knows what
doctrines he wants to advocate and is not
afraid to put forward his opinions definitely.
Perhaps he shade of possible presidency
has touched his utterances with an unusual
chill.
The main part os the speech is made up
of criticism of the democratic platform,
and In attacking this weak point the repub-
lican strategist displayed his usual skill.
The platform of his own party was OF course
still more inconsistent and indefensibls, and
he was wise enough not to lose time in at
tempting to explain it.
The speech opens with a contrast
between the two great political parties,
in which justice is done to neither.
Senator Morton considers a third party a
mere ephemeral expedient. and holds the
doctrine that every American citizen is
born a democrat or republican, just as
every man is born an Aristotelian or a
Platonist The tendencies of human opinion
are into these two antagonistic currents.
Holding this theory, the speaker should
have omitted his first paragraph depicting
the uncertainty OF democratic policy. II is
inevitable that the opposition must take
definite shape, and the present indications
are that the democracy OF Illinois have led
the way. The republican party may just as
well make up its mind that the principles of
Gov. Palmer's letter are those against which
its future Fight will be wsged.
The second topic which Senator Morton
touches upon is the panic of last fall. Ii
must have required considerable nerve tor
the speaker to explain an occurrence which
he had pledged his political sagacisy would
never come upon the people. OF course only
one thing could be said by Senator Morton
under such circumstances, and though 1t
was rather foolish thing. he concluded to
say il. He declared that the panic was like a
panic in an army. without cause and
without remedy. 1t came in pc
Rod of unequalled prosperity and was
as unexpected as 'he shock OF an earth
quake. All of which-with due respect
be it spoken-is mere DO. IA. Ta5 c-uses
