into which fresh streams discharge, or
regions liable to tidal overflow and re-
cession.
The exhalations from marshy tracts
are recognized by their effects upon the
human system throughout the world; ;
and the fact that marshes bear caus-
ative relation to malaria has been
demonstrated in numerous instances
by the disappearance of fever after
thorough drainage and cultivation, and
its temperance upon their being al
lowed to relapse into neglect. The fa-
vorable effect of drainage and cultiva-
ton is owing both to the systematic
removal of water near the surface, and
most probably also to the absorption
by the growing crops of the products Of
organic decomposition. On the same
principle Prof. Maury succeeded in
antagonizing the noNious emanations
from a marsh surrounding the observa-
tory at Washington by planting it
thickly with sunfowers, which seem
to possess an extraordinary absorbing
| power. Sebastian is inclined to be-
, lieve that the Cdlamtts Gf0mGticIs
which grows in some swamps has a
similar neutralizing quality. Swamps
| covered with water are not so danger
Gus as those partially dry, the layer of
water serving as a protection against
the access of air and heat to the vege-
| table matter underneath.

Centennial Tree-PIantin",

TIE report goes from newspaper to
newspaper, of a Jealous citizen, in one
OF our Northern States, who has COM
memorated the Centennial year of our
Independence by the extensive plant
ing Of trees.
We wish the newspapers that chroni-
Gle this act of patriotic forethought
could inspire their readers with a
hearty emulation thereof, so that, ere
the year ends its course, every house
hold shall have planted its share of
trees-shall have given to the future
its contribution toward highways tenn
pered by refreshing shade, and have
added to the number of cottages that
| shall nestle under the fretted network
of green leaves.
Could We devise a better way for
signally concentrating this epoch in
our National life? Each tree thus
planted would be monument of our
reverence of the past, and a blessing
for the future; and by this generous
forethought the next Centennial would
be celebrated in a land of orchards, of
wooded hills, of green lanes, of groves
that would be fit temples for the
Dryads, of towns hid among arching
boughs, of urban and suburban places
crowned with sylvan beauty.
In an Jealous devotion to the cultiva-
ton of trees we should strengthen and
perpetuate one of the best Characters
tics of our National towns. Could we
have sent to the Philadelphia Exhibi-
ton the street of an American village
one of those elm-lned avenues, with
uncovered cottages standing back
from the highway, which are so album
dant in our land-we should have
shown our foreign visitors feature
captivating in its beauty, and yet one
peculiarly our own. The travelling
American may feel fresh interest in
the narrow streets and quaint old |
houses of European towns; but this
is pure novelty of sensation, for the
American village is constructed upon
a principle that gives it prominently
the palm of beauty and healthfulness.
Unfortunately, these tree-lined ave-
nues too often stop at the borders of
the town; the traveller energies from
shade into long stretches

tolerably certain that the granite was
formed under peculiar circumstances /;
1t has never been such purely molten
rock as is the lava of volcano, which
is poured out from its crater to the
light OF day. We gather that it was
rather formed at great depths in the
earth, where it may have been partial
ly melted. partially subjected to the
action both of water and of steam,
charged with various mineral sub
stances, and subjected to enormous
pressure. What the original condition
OF granite was we cannot tell; some
have gone so far as to think that it
may have been that of sedimentary
rock, which has been metamorphosed
by the forces just alluded to. But,
whatever the primary state of granite
may have been, its present condition
shows it to belong undoubtedly to the
lgneous class of rocks, but to have
been formed under conditions differ
ing from those which have given rise
to lavas reaching the surface. AS far
as can be gathered, the granite rocks,
us such, have never seen the light of
day until exposed by denudation, etc. :;
their origin was deep III the central
portions of ancient volcanoes, where,
by partial melting and slow cooling,
under intense pressure, and i'll the pres
ence of some water, the various miner
ais came together and crystallized into
granite.-Rer. J. u. Nello, IN Popular
Science Monthly for august.

A Faithful Cashier.

AN official life of thirty-four wears in
one position. says the correspondent of
the Hartford Times, was closed a few
days ago by the death of William Duer
Robinson, cashier of the New York
Custom House. For fifteen years at
least the reputation of the Custom
House has been VIGOROUSLY bad, but
during all those years, and the nine
teen others which Mr.. Robinson had
passed in the cashiers office, no breath
of suspicion ever touched his charac-
ter. He was appointed in 1912,
and so valuable were his services as
cashier that, no matter what other
changes were made, his removal was
never thought of. During his long
occupancy of the Office the enormous
sum of So, 200, 900, 900 passed through
his hands without one cent of loss to
the Government.
His death is attributed to the worry
of mind he suffered from the uney-
planned disappearance of a gold certiti-
cate for $1,000 from his office several
months ago. The amount was made
good to the Government, but the mat
ter preyed so much on the faithful
cashier that he grew ill and gradually
sank till death at last took him away.
In such times as these it is no small
honor to a man to say that he had held
a public office thirtyfour years, hand
led $4,000, 100000 of Government
money, and died with a name above
reproach. But Mr.. Robinson came of
the old revolutionary stock, and in
herited its sterling virtues.

Formation of Granite,

WE know~that quartz requires a
higher temperature to melt it than
does either the feldspar OF the mica,
and so, had the granite been formed as
are regular volcanic rocks in the ordi-
nary way of igneous fusion, we should
certainly have found that the quartz
would have crystallized before either
the feldspar or the mica, and it would
have been seen i'll definite crystalline
form, and its crystals would have in
terfered with and penetrated those of
the other mineral constituents of the
rock. Again, if we look carefully at
the quartz with moderately high
power, we shall see in it certain small
cavities, and some of these will be
seen to contain a certain amount of
liquid, and also an air-bubble, which
VIII move us the specimen is moved.
This liquid has been proved to be
water, and from the fact of its not en-
tirely filling the cavity we learn that a
reduction of temperature has taken
place since the water was first caught
up by the quartz, causing the contents
OF the cavities to contract. Some
times we shall find other cavities,
which, instead of containing water.
contain small crystals, or even air only.
Now, from all these facts it appears

co water, or the tobacco and arsenic
solution recommended by English
shepherds. There is no danger to
sheep OF lambs, if properly applied,
and reasonable care is taken that the
animals heads are not immersed SO
that the liquor gets into the eyes or
mouth. If the sheep are dipped, as
well as the lambs, there will not
enough adhere to the udders of the
ewes to sicken the lambs in the least,
though some shepherds are so careful
that they keep the lambs from their
dams for an hour or two, topermit the
liquor to drain away. Still this is not
necessary, as the proportion Of arsenic
is so small that it would take a pint of
the liquor to nauseate or injure a
lamb. The tobacco is the more dan
gerous of the two ingredients. The
salve for foot-rot or fouls is made OF
equal parts by weight of finely pulVer-
lied blue vitriol and lard, well rubbed

SOME of the latest styles in millinery
are very peculiar and not at all grace
full. The hats that turn up high on
the left side and are fastened with a
feather and roses, are worn on the side
OF the head in a manner that must al-
pear to many people the height of vul-
garlty. Coarse straw bonnets with
fiat crowns and trimmed with daisies
and dried grass enjoy much favor. \

Conditions FavOring the Produc-
ton of Malaria.

LET us now consider under what
circumstances malaria may be pro-
duced. Although it cannot be denied
that there are peculiar localities where,
with apparently every presumed con-
dition existing for the development of
malaria, that poison is entirely absent,
yet the concurrence of malarial eman-
ations with such conditions in innu-
merable places establishes beyond a
question their direct relation. The
essential element in the production of
malaria would appear to be oegetable
decomposition, and, in order that this
process shall ensue, the simultaneous
operation of air, moisture and q certain
high range of temperature is absolute
ly required. Localities, therefore,
where such combination occurs are
prolific of malaria. OF this character
are swamps and morasses, alluvial de-
posts, loose, porous, sandy and argyll
laceous soils, or deep, loamy, marty
lands underlaid by impermeable strata
affording capacity for the retention of
moisture, regions exposed to periodical
or occasional foundations, places left
bare by the subsistence of lakes or dry
ing up of streams, and particularly
areas subject to the inteimingling of
salt and fresh water-as salt marshes

Sitting Bulls BiOgraphy-What
the Sioux Expect.

SITTING BULL is Il Teton-SiouX and
only thirty-tive years Of age. Capt.
McGarry, of the steamer Benton, tells
me that he has known Sitting Bull
about the Upper Missouri trading-posts
for many years. His principal barter
ing place was at Fort Peck, though of
late years he and his band have follow
ed the buffalo north on the SouriS and
Pembina rivers, and have bartered
their robes and tongues for guns and
ammunition with the French half
breeds of Manitoba. Sitting Bull was
a convert and friend of Father De
Smet, who taught him to read and
write French. He has always scorned
to learn English, but is a fair French
scholar. In the Dakota language he is
also versed. and declared to be a
greater orator than Little Pheasant,
chief of the Yankt0nnaiS. Capt. Nc
Garry says he knows that Sitting Bull
has read the French history of Napo-
Icons wars, and believes that he has
modelled his generalship after the little
CorSican Corporal. Sitting Bull has
never accepted an overture of peace,
the report that he gave i'll his adhesion
to Sully to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. He has always been an unrelent-
ing and vindictive savage-to the
Americans what Schamyl was to the
Russians. Father De Smet kept the
Teton-SiouX from the war-path until
1868. He then left the Upper Mis-
souri,, and Sitting Bull became chief.
No organized effort was made to array
the Sioux nation against the whites
until after the Minnesota maSsacres of
1868, when the Sioux We're driven
west of the Missouri into the bad lands
and mountains of Dakota. Sitting
Bull aspired to the leadership, but
Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Little Pleas
ant, and the Ogalalla Sitting Bull
Chiefs repudiated him. From that
time he has been Il malcontent, and ut
war with the chiefs of the Sioux ma
ton, though he has by his persuasive
arts of oratory seduced many hum
dreds of their young braves into his
ranks. He is also largely reinforced
by young braves from the Crees and
ASSinibuins of Manitoba. Every
summer for five years he has been up
north among these tribes, and now
they are tlOcking to his standard. If
these reports are to be believed, and |
have no reason to question them, when
he next makes a stand against the
Federal troops lie will have in the
neighbOrhOOd of 5000 warriors, every
one armed with repeating rifles. 4
great deal is expected from Sitting
Bulls inability to take care of the
wounded already on his hands, and
which is sacred duty among the In
dians. If he has not sent his wounded
north among his Manitoba friends he
will do so before he hazards another
fight. The Geographic report Of Capt.
Smith, who brought Reno's wounded
down, that Terry had found the biers
of nine chiefs killed in the engagement
with Custer is mistake. They were
the remains Of sub-chiefS and braves
killed by Custer when he was with
Stanley in 1871. The Sioux custom is
to carry off their dead braves to Sc
cluded valley, and, after the custom
AIRY mourning period has expired, to
lay out the dead braves on platform
high enough to be beyond the reach of
wolves or coyotes.-Cor. Chicngo 7l1-

THIRD QUARTER. 1876.
The Highest Good.

MAN is always in search of what he
thinks the highest good-the thing that
will make him happiest. His very
sins are attempts to be happy, foolish
and deluSive indeed, but real efforts to
save himself from misery, to reach a
good that will shed over his life percn-
NAL gladneSS and beauty. But the
,ood all seek some may fail to find, not
,ecause it does not exist for them. but
ecalse their search is misdirected, an
attempt to extract the sweet from
what is essentially bitter.
If man thinks self the highest be.
ing in the universe, the supreme law
or god, then he will think the best
thing self-indulgence, and the only
fruit such highest and best can yield
is calamitous misery. Passion can
never create pleasure. A self-centered
becomes self-tortured life, a curse to
the man that lives it, an offence to our
common humanity, grief to our COM
mon Father.
The highest good must be the holt
est, for happiness and holiness coalesce,
are only different sides of the same
thing. And so man to get the one
must seek the other, seek it alone
where it can be found, in the kingdom
of God.
But the way to it many find made
impossible by the hard and merciless
necessities of life. The struggle to
satisfy the ceaseless hunger of the
present seems to forbid thought and
action in the future.
The claims of the world are too i'm
perious and manifold to leave the soul
either opportunity or energy to regard
those of God. And so men who wish
to be good after a diviner sort than the
mere secular honesty that is only the
policy necessary to success in life,
often find that they cannot: business,
trade, will not let them; hourly neces-
sites, demanding hourly thought and
effort, stand in the way. They would
like to love God, live in His Kingdom,
obey His laws, anticipate His heaven,
but time absorbs their energy; the
labor needed to obtain food and raj
ment forbids.
So after hard struggle to serve
God and Mammon, the necessities of
,he hour prevail; God is forsaken, as
sar as possible forgotten, that the
world may be served through and
