Political Anarchy in Mexico.

A Washington correspondent tele-
graphs A political gentleman, who is
in position to know whereof he speaks,
has written a letter here from the City
of Mexico, describing the disturbed po-
litical condition there. He regards the
present trouble there as incident to the
pending Presidential election, and thinks
that President Lerdo will be reelected
or retained in office.
Bands of insurgents had at times dam
aged the railroad between the City Of
Mexico and Vera Cruz, but repairs had
been promptly made by the energetic
American superintendent.
The American missionaries were some
what alarmed, but held their ground.
President Lerdo has a great work on
his hands, conquered set of bigots to
conciliate, an almost despairing party of
republicans to encourage, and mad
set of revolutionists to subdue. On one
point, however, all agree-not an inch
of Mexican soil is to be coded to the
United States for any consideration
and no United States soldiers are to be
permitted to cross the Rio Grande, even
to repress disorder and preserve the
peace,

Formation of Coal.

With these conditions, that is, with a
greater sun-power and a considerable
eccentricity of the earth's orbit, L can
conceive a rational explanation, that
which I have not yet seen in the books.
of the information Of the coal-layers, al
ternated as they always are with marine
deposits. These alterations are some
times very numerous. There are as many
as sixty distinct veins Of considerable
thickness, one over another, in the coal
mines Of South Wales, as also of Nova
Scotia. There must have been, In that
case, sixty periods of dry land, each OF
sufficient duration to grow many forests,
and each followed by a ong-continued
submergence, in order that each layer
should become fossilized, and buried
beneath a shale or a lime stone, which
could only have formed in the depths
of quiet sea. The books say there
were SO many upheavels, and like num-
Der of subsidences, alternating with each
other. AS if old earth had bent her back,
for her load of pit-coal, three score
times among the Welsh hills, and again
as many more at Halifax. 1t is a far
more reasonable explanation, that each
considerable layer of coal indicates a
cycle of long summers, and the with
drawal of moderate depth of the oceans
from one hemisphere to the other, by
reason of moderate accumulations Of ice
in polar latitudes, and the return,
again, of the waters after TO- 500 years.
In this way, and in no other that I can
conceive of, can be fairly explained the
constant mixture and alterations of ter
restrial and marine relics, all through
the fossil-bearing formations, and the
hundreds, if not thousands Of different
and distinct strata which are found lying
one ABOVE another.-PopuJar Science

A Timely Word to Centennial Visitors

Let me offer a word of advice to visi-
tors who desire to practice economy.
Dent be induced to pay unreasonable
prices for board by the plea that the city
is crowded. It is not crowded, and you
can have a choice of hundred rooms
any day. Buy. guide-book. Study
the map of the city and street-car lines.
Then invest two cents in a copy of the
Ledger, in which you will find every
morning three or four columns of rooms
to let advertised. Start out in search of
quarters that meet your ideas as to cost
and comfort, and you will be pretty sure
to find just what you want in an hour or
two. [ have heard of one or two hotels
son the European plan " charging SIS a
day for room without board. No one
ought to submit to such an imposture.
There are scores Of private houses that
offer large, well-furnished room, with
breakfast and supper, for So day, and
the supply of such accommodations thus
far considerably outruns the demand.

The GeogrannE of the Future.

Thus it is seen that as certainly as ter
restrial revolutions continue, In the
course of 10000 years there must come
an entire reversal of polar conditions.
The southern waters must be drained
off to make the oceans of an opposite
hemisphere. New lands, enriched with
the sediment of a hundred centuries,
will rise up to extend the borders of the
old south continents, and islands, join
ing together, will expand into main
lands. At the same time the northern
continents must be, in great part, sub
merged, and their SUBMITS and ranges
become the bleak islands and the bold
headlands Of tempestuous ocean. Cen
tral Asia, with its broad table lands,
may still retain the name of continent,
but, beyond a few outlying islands,
there Will be no Europe and but little of
North America left. The Atlantic waters
will stand 500 feet over Lake Superior,
and will wash the base of the Rocky
Mountains In all their length. A new
gulf stream may again, as it must often
have done before, flow up the valley OF
the Mississippi, returning the deltas to
the prairies, and remaking the beds OF

The GrasshOpper ScOurge of 1875.

There is cheering news for Western
farmers, conveyed in Prof. G. V. Riley's
recent statements, in the Colorado
Farmer, relative to the probable mum.
bers of the grasshoppers during the
coming summer. Some one, it appears,
has asserted that the soil of the region
in the northwest portion of the country
lying east of the Rocky Mountains is
covered with prodigious numbers OF
grasshopper eggs and this disagreeable
announcement has gone the rounds OF
the press, through the length and
breadth of the land. Prof. Riley gives
it it's Quietus in SO Enthusiastically eff
fective manner that we are half in
clined to be grateful to the mendacious
individual who set the story afoat, since
it has been the means of obtaining such
welcome intelligence from probably the
best chronological authority in the coun-
try.
From personal observation, Prof.
Riley states, SO far as Missouri and Kan
sas are concerned, the report is wholly
groundless. In Minnesota, State COM
mission has determined that the eggs
have mostly persisted from excess OF
moisture, which dissolves the glutinous
substance which normally protects and
holds them together. In some parts of
the high country lying east of the noun
tains, especially toward the north, eggs
have been deposited in numbers by the
swarms which left the lower and more
fertile country devastated last spring !;
but in that region, such is the case
every year, for it is the native home OF
The swarms which occasionally extend to
the upper Mississippi valley. In Mis-
souri,, Kansas, and Nebraska, however,
the number of eggs, laid by the few
struggling insects that passed over those
States last fall, will not equal that laid
in ordinary seasons by indigenous spe-
cies. In Colorado there is every hope
that the protracted rains have destroyed
the eggs.
Prof Riley gives it as his conclusion,
in addition to the above, that, compared
with other parts of the country, those
States ravaged by locnsts in last spring
and early summer will enjoy the greater
immunity during the same season Of
1876, not only from locust injuries, but
from the injuries of obnoxious insects,
except the wood-borers. In short, the
people of the ravaged section have
every reason to be hopeful rather than
gloomy.

ATTY. Cen. Taft.

Hon. Alphonso Taft, the successor oil
Judge Pierrepont in the Department OF
Justice, was born in Townshend, VT,
In the year 1910; graduated from Yale
college in 1888, and from the Yale Law
school in 1888. Removing to Cincin-
natl the following year he began at once
a lucrative practice of the law. he was
a member of the convention that noml-
mated Fremont in 1856. In the same
year G. FL. Pendleton, of Cincinnati, de-
feated him for Congress. He was an
pointed Judge of the Superior court
in 1866, and although the delivery OF a
minority opinion while on the bench
concerning the Bible in public schools,
created strong prejudice against him.
he was twice reelected. Last year,
having resigned his iudgeship, he be
came a prominent candidate for the he.
publican nomination for Governor OF
Ohio. His name was withdrawn after
168 votes had bee1. cast for him, and he
then took an active part in the canvass.
He was appointed to fill the vacancy In
the War department made by Belknap' s
resignation, on the 7th of March last.

with no benefit. finally procured one-half
dozen bottles of your Golden Medical Discovery
and one dozen Sage's Catarrh Remedy and COM
menced their use. At first I was badly dis
couraged, but after taking four bottles of the
Discovery began to improve, and when had
taken the remaining was aceu. In addition
to the use of Discovery applied solution of
Iodine to the Goitre or thick neck, as you adj

appeared. Your Discovery ia certainly the
most wonderful blood medicine ever invented.
l thank God and you, from the depths of my
heart. for the great good it has done me.
Very gratefully MRS L. CHAFFEE.
Most medicines which are advertised as blood
purifiers and liver medicines contain either
mercury. IN some form, or potassium and
iodine variously combined. All of these agents
have strong tendency to break down the blood
corpuscles, and debilitate and otherwise perma-
nently injure the human system, and should
therefore be discarded. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, on the other hand, being
composed Of the fluid extracts of native plants
barks and roots, will in no case produce injury,
its effects being strengthening and curative
only. Sarsaparilla, which used to enjoy quite
reputation as blood purifier, is a remedy of
thirty years ago, and may well give place. as it is
doing, to the more positive and valuable vege-
table alternatives which later medical investiga-
ton and discovery has brought to light. In

The Seronade.

A love-sick student went out few
nights since to serenade his charming
Araminta. The evening was balmy and
pleasant, and so spring-like that very
naturally the young mans fancy lightly
turned to thoughts Of love. He found
the honse, planted himself under the
window, touched his light guitar, and
poured forth his soul in song. A light
suddenly appears, and his heart is filed
with Joy. The window is raised, and a
fair form is distinctly seen. O! what
bliss! A voice, Enthusiastically that of
the big brother, comes down like fall
ing star, "Move on, young man! We
don't want to buy any fish !"

Gen. Schenck as United States Minister
to the Court Of st. James, was born at
New Haven, Conn, in 1917, educated at
the once famous cold Grammar School, 4"
Of that city, then under President Noah
Porter, and entered Yale college IN
1888, graduating in 1887 In the same
class with Mr. Evarts and Chief JUS
tice Waite. At college he took high
honors. His legal studies were prose
cuted at the Law School, under Judge
Dagget, and in 1910 he was admitted to
practice, removing to Columbus, o.,
where he entered into partnership with
Mr.. P. B. Wilcox, the State Reporter.
During the next five years Mr.. Pierre
pont enjoyed most successful practice
and established legal reputation. In
1916 he removed to New York city. In
1857 he was elected to fill the vacancy in
the Superior court created by the death
Of Chief Justice Oakley, a position
which he held for three years, then re-
signing. When the war broke out he
arrayed himself on the side of President
Lincoln, nominally as War Democrat !;
was a member OF the Union Defence
Committee of New York member, In
1862, of the commission fer examining
into the cases of prisoners of State, and
one of the counsel for the Government
in the Surratt trial. On the election of
Gen. Grant to the Presidency he was
made District-attorney for New York,
holding the Office for somewhat over a
year. In 1873 he was offered and de-
