A PETRIFIED MARINE MONSTER
Sonoma county abOunds in vegetable,
animal, and geological wonders. The
latest notable development is the dis
covery of the partly petrified remains of
a monster of the deep on hillside on
Watson's ranch, on the line of the Ma
rim Narrow Gauge Railroad, between
Valley Forge and Freestone. While at
work, three days ago, in a cut, gang
of men, at depth of fourteen feet, came
upon a peculiar formation, which pre-
sents almost certain indications that it
was once the body of a whale. 1t lies
lengthwise of the cut, and is about fifty
feet in length. Alexander Vandernoot
brought to town specimens of the bony
part of the creature. They are soft and
porous, and there can be little doubt
that they are parts of the body of a
member of the finny tribe. At the
same place were found petrified shells of
different kinds, and a substance two
inches long and about one inch in di-
ameter at the base, which had evidently
been the tooth of some animal. A bone,
four feet long and about eight inches in
diameter, sharp at both ends, was also
found. Bowlders nearly round, and
weighing from 100 to 900 pounds, are
numerous in the cut.-PetdLunlG Argus.

An Examnla.

The following reference to Abigail
Adams we find in a recent eastern ex-
change, and respectfully refer women
who shave all the rights they want"
and sit in supine Indifference regarding
the condition of those less fortunately
situated, with unconcern as selfish as
degrading, to read, ponder, and do like
wise:
Again, Abigail Adams was happily
married, but she had the courage to
speak for other women less favored.
She could look out from her secure shell
ter by her husbands side and see how
other mothers suffered at the hands of
the law. So long as the law, now as
then, gives to the father absolute au-
thority over his child, the power to send
it whithersoever he will, away from its
mother, standing faithfully at his side,
the power to will it with his dying
breath to other care and guidance than
hers, no wonder that this far-sighted
woman of the Revolution told the men
of the day that they were ungenerous
and cruel. The women of this '76 pom
der these things in their hearts. They
rejoice with unfailing gratitude in the
victories won, the difficulties conquered
and the power and freedom the old cen.
tury has brought, with its declaration
of rights to all men; they look wistfully
into the new, requiring that it shall
give unto them also some surer GROUND
to stand upon than the shifting sands o.
fortune and the caprice or indulgence o.
the law-making sex.

Shoshone Falls.

Among the wonders of this most won
derful land, the Shoshone Falls of Idaho
should stand in the front rank. If they
were in the old world, no European
tourist would consider his journeyings
complete until he had seen them. They
may be reached in five miles from the
crossing of Rock Creek on the overland
stage route from Boise to Kelton, over a
good wagon road. Why so many of our
people have passed within hearing of
this grand scene without turning aside
to see them, is quite unaccountable.
The Snake River is now exceedingly
high, so that the volume of water which
falls equals, or even exceeds, that which
usually falls at the world-renowned Nj
agara. The river above the falls is
guarded by walls of rock 500 feet high,
with frequent towers from 200 to 800
feet high. The water Immediately
above the great falls is divided into
about five channels by rocky islets, each
separate body of water falling from 80
to 80 feet. Below these first falls there
are but two principal divisions of the
water which, with the impetus given
them by the small falls, rush over a
perpendicular wall of rock 90 feet high,
meeting each other at an obtuse angle
with roar that can scarcely be COM
pared. 1t is truly the rushing of mighty
waters. The waters in their fall seem
to be wholly broken, and send up such
a cloud of spray as to almost totally
hide the latter part of their descent,
causing beautiful rainbow to span the
river continually when the sun shines.
AS the writer, who had gone on foot
and alone to see this grand sight, stood
before solid wall 1000 feet high, to
echo back the roaring of the mighty
cataract, in his ecstasy he could but
clasp his hands and say to himself
'How completely grand they are, grand
in their volume, grand in their height
and grand in their loneliness" These
as most falls, seem to be receding uI
stream. The rocks, the great revelators
tell by their chiseled walls and turret:
of volume more immense, a height
greater and grander and more bewilder
ing away back where the waters "hearC
no sound save their own dashings," anC
"their loneliness was complete" Three
miles further up the river there ART
smaller falls, where, amid rocks charac
teristic of Snake River, the waters ar
divided into two streams and fall per
J pendicularly $50 feet. Thence the hur
ried tourist may return by 8 miles o
travel, over an excellent road, to Rocl
Creek Station.

girl tagged ftfully at the ribbon in her
mouth.
"I rang the bell, and Marwood, our
old steward, who was my brothers. IA
vorite servant, came into the library,
where we were sitting, in answer to my
summons.
is all ready for Sir Philip?' asked
of him.
"'Yes, SIR answered the old man,
with respectful bow, though he seemed
but ill at ease with me. Then l took
my mothers hand and led her through
the open doorway and into the great en-
trance hall, where all of our servants
were mustered, and she could see how 1
had the table spread in the banquet
room to welcome Philip back from Aus
tralia, where he had been living for two
years, absent from our sight, but ever
present in our hearts. He had only
stopped one day in London at my re-
quest by telegram, to see our family
lawyers, Messrs. Herlot & Mortmain.
Now, in a few minutes, he would be
with us again, and there on the thresh-
old of his house we stood to welcome
him. l kept on the left hand of our
mother, and little behind her and
apart; Maud stood by her right, well in
front, and with those fierce, defiant eyes
of hers unsoftened. 1 believe she would
have killed me if she could have done
it..
"My brother Philip was an active,
handsome man, very tall and straight,
with the air of knight and a noble
about him. He was not a humdrum
fellow like me, and 1 could not but ac-
knowledge to myself that Maud must
have been blind not to have preferred
him. He sprang out of the travelling
carriage which had brought him from
the station, in less time than / should
have taken to think about it, and
bounded up the terrace-steps before the
castle three stairs at once. Then he
took my mother to his heart, and let
her feeble, outstretched arms embrace
him, while her pale face looked pitifully
up, all full of sorrow. Still holding her
in one of his strong arms and soothing
her with loving words, my brother
turned and held out his right hand to
me with the mein of king.
"'God bless you, Jack " he said; and
that was all.
81 never saw such a scorn in human
eyes as that which cleaned in Maud's
! like a baleful marsh light till those
words were spoken; and then she seemed
to have a flash of inspiration from OF
high, and ] saw that she had guessed
my secret. 1t was a trumpery business
to make such fuss about. 1 had only
resettled the estates on Philip, and have
! lived at 'Nestfields' ever since"

First Steps on Carpets.

When carpets were first introduced
into Europe they came from the East,
and were very expensive. The floors
were not covered by them, but a king
might perhaps have one by his bedside,
or spread before his throne. In the
Middle Ages carpets, if we may judge
from drawings that have come down to
US from that period, were reserved for
the high or chief altars in churches.
The manufacture of carpets in England
was not commenced till little more
than a hundred years ago.
The ancient covering of floors in the
mother country was rushes; and the
lack of invention among the English is
displayed in the fact that they did not
weave their rushes into soft, thick mats,
as the japanese do, but left them lying
loose on the floor. They were also gen.
orally allowed to remain so long that
they became exceedingly dirty and of
fensive.
In olden days in the north of England
the churches had no floors, and once
year only the people of village would
wander forth among the fells and gather
rushes with which to strew the ground.
A memorial of this ancient custom is
said to be still kept up in the villages OF
Grasmere and Ambleside in Westmore-
land, near the former residence of the
poet Wordsworth.
''T Reysh Becarin," (the rush-beaF-
ing), as it was called, was quite an i'm
portant event, from which the villagers
used to reckon their ages and the prin-
eipal events of their lives. 1t was re-
garded by some as old as the time of
Pope Gregory ", who recommended
that when a church was recovered from
the pagans, the anniversary of the event
should be celebrated with certain SOL
emnities.
The ceremonies are now, of course,
very different from those formerly OBJ
served. They take place in Grasmere
on the third Sunday in July, and in
Ambleside week later.
On the previous Saturday evening a
procession of children, with music, goes
round the village bearing a number of
garlands and devices of all kinds, formed
of wood and covered with rushes,
adorned with moss-roses. These are de-
posted in the church, and remain there
over Sunday, when there are special
sermons preached and special hymns of
thanksgiving sung.
The origin of the custom was prOba-
bly, such as mentioned above, for what
people would celebrate with religious
services the simple barbarity of their
ancestors?

The work of digging and clearing out

perfect under the covering of ashes for
so many years, many of the articles,
upon being brought to the light and

the pictures upon the walls lose their
bright colors, and fade into dimness.-

SMITH COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.-A
lady who had chosen the state Of single
ness for life, having large wealth and
the name of Smith, by her will devoted
some 100000 to the establishment of a
college for the higher education of
women, meaning just what she said;
for, by the terms of a remarkably judi
cious will, which she drew up herself,
she restricted it to the further education
of those only who had already pursued
the studies ordinarily required for ad-
mission to college. She named a Board
of Trustees, and died. They were
happy in the selection of man to or
ganize and conduct such a grand
scheme, and Professor L. Clark Seelye,
of Amherst College, is President of the
institution bearing the name of its in
telligent founder. From the income OF
the fund, leaving the principal intact,
the college buildings have been erected
and furnished, combining everything to
be desired; perfect model college, so
that the entire income will be employed
in furnishing the best advantages of in
struction. The classes and studies and
professors and lectures are to be the
same as those in the best colleges. The
first, or lower class, has been one year
under instruction. This fall the second
enters, so there will be two classes, then
three, then four, and the regular cur
riculum complete. AS l entered one ol
the recitation rooms, and read on the
blackboard the direction in chalk, "De
duce the fundamental formula of arith.
metical progression" perceived thai
girls who stand up at the board mus
do some thinking, or sit down and give
it up.

Harvard University two or three
years ago surprised the religiously rigid
by proposing to abolish compulsory
prayers, and leave students free to join
in the daily religious exercises of the
chapel or not, as they chose. Now it
has gone a step further, and abolished
compulsory church-going. Hereafter,
its students will not be required to at
tend church as a part of the college
rules. They are to be treated as young
gentlemen, and left to follow their own
tastes and judgment, and the wishes of
their parents in the matter. This de-
parture from ancient usage will doubt
less be severely condemned in some
quarters, though others will regard it
as freedom, only to be governed by in
telligence and honor.

REvERENCE.-Some men carry rever-
ence too far. There is a man in Wood
bury, 81 years old, who has a pocket
Bible given to him by his mother when
he was a boy. He has carried that
volume constantly in his pocket for
seventy years, and he is so careful
not to injuIe it that he has never cut
the leaves, or hurt hurt them by ex-
posing them for any length of time to
the light. He keeps the book in his
coat pocket, and never takes it out ex-
cepting when he wants to spend one of
the shin-plasters which he carries in
between the leaves to save himself the
expense of buying pocket-book.
Filial love which lasts three-fourths of
a century is holy thing.

This anecdote is told of DIR. Samuel
johnson and wife previous to their
marriage: He said that he very much
wished to marry her, but there were
three obstacles. First, he was of very
humble origin; second, he had no money;
third, he had an uncle who was hung.
In reply, she said she honored no man
more or less because of his parentage;
second, she had no money herself; and
third, although she had had no rela-
tives hung, she had twenty who de-
served it, and she wished they were.

HON. Alb. DAVIS ADDRESS.

In Mr.. Grifi's recent work upon ia
pan, country but little known and
heretofore closed to the outside world
he mentions this interesting fact He
says "That almost all Of the eighty six
provinces and large cities has its special
historian. Towns and villages have
their local written annals. Family
records are faithfully kept from genera
ton to generation. Diaries and notes
Of passing events are preserved in most
of the Buddhist temples and monasteries,
and histories for the young may be
counted by the hundred"
In view Of such an example from A
people hitherto regarded as but semi
civilized, how timely and appropriate
the Proclamation Of the President Of
the United States, requesting the people
in this centennial year, to assemble in
their respective towns and counties and
rescue from obscurity and oblivion the
incidents and events connected with the
first century of the nation. But even
before this proclamation was issued. the
people Of Montgomery in public meeting
assembled Of their own motion and free
will, had resolved to hold this meeting
and celebrate this day.
| therefore take great pleasure, ladies
and gentleman, friends and fellow citi-
zens, venerable and yenerabed sires, in

Counterfeiting Trade Marks.

The act to punish the counterfeiting
of trade mark goods, and the sale of, or
dealing in, counterfeit trade mark goods,
which was passed at the last session of
Congress, and is now law, provides :
That every person who shall, with intent
to defraud, deal in or sell, or keep or
offer for sale, or cause OF procure the
sale of, any goods of substantially the
same descriptive properties as those re-
ferred to in the registration of any trade
mark, pursuant to the statutes of the
United States, to which, or to the pack
age in which the same are put up, is
fraudulently affixed said trade mark, or
any colorado imitation thereof, calcu-
lated to deceive the public, knowing the
same to be counterfeit or not the genuine
goods referred to in said registration,
shall, on conviction thereof, be punish
ed by fine not exceeding one thousand
dollars, or Imprisonment not more than
two years, or both such fine and i'm
prisonment.

An Unappreciat i've Audience.

A gentleman discovered an exquisite
poetic gem, and in his delight at the dis
covery, invited the attention of two
ladies to it. They listened with intent
ear while the reader gave voice to the
glowing and graceful thoughts of the
poet. When the reading was finished,
the gentleman turned to his companions
for word or look of appreciation. He
saw their faces aglow, their lips parted
in an intensity of feeling, and their eyes
bright with-what? Shade of Homer!
"Look, look there!" exclaimed one OF
the ladies, with the utmost eagerness,

the opposite side Of the street" has got

Remedy for Burns.

DIR. r. II. Alnatt writes to the Lon
don Times ''The late lamentable &C
cident on board the Thunderer, at
Portsmouth, recalls to my recollection a
remedy for burns and scalds, which was
suggested to me some years ago by Lord
Ebury. As an old medical man, and
from personal observation, I can vouch
for it's efficacy, and, in the absence of
professional assistance, the application
may prove of inestimable values The
remedy is simply this The common
whiting of commerce, reduced by cold
water to the consistence Of cream, is to
be spread on light linen rag, and the
whole burned surface instantly COW
cred, and thus excluded from the action
of the air. The ease it affords is instan-
taneous, and it only requires to be kept
moist by subsequent occasional sprink-
ling of cold water"
