In the Alpne Journal, . record oi
the mountain adventure and scien-
tifc observation. published in Lon.
don, L. T. Coleman, who will bs
remembered by many persons here,
has published series Of articles on
our mountains, in which he Mas col
lated all obtainable information con-
cerning all the great peaks from Mt.
Shasta to Mt. St. Elias. It is evi-
don't that he has taken great pains
with the subject. Some facts which
he states as to the origin of names.
etc., are not to be obtained from
sources within every persons reach;
and We are warranted in reproduc-
ing some of them, since they may
not all be generally known. Mt.
st. Elias, far to the north, Was first
seen by Bshring and his associates,
July 80, 1741, who named it after
St. Elias, the patron saint OF the day.
Mt. Fairweather was first seen BY
Capt. Cook in Its, who gave II its
name. a..s- '.4-'
Mt. Brown, in the Rocky Noun.
tain chain. near the SOURCES Of Fraser
river, was named after Robert Brown,
director of the botanical department
of the British Museum; and Mt.
Hooker, its lordly associates, has its
name from Sir William Hooker d.
rector OF Kew Gardens. They were
first visited by David Douglas, Of the
Hudson's Bay Company, in 1884.
The former of these peaks is compu-
ted to be Is, 900, and the latter 49,
700 feet high. It is believed that
only one peak on the continent,
that of st. Elias, lifts it's skyish
head above these heights.
Mount Baker, in Washington Ter
ritory, fourteen miles south of the
boundary line of the British Posses
sions, was named by Vancouver in
compliment to his third lieutenant,
Joseph Baker. who discovered it.
Very careful measurement makes its
height 1854 feet. In October,
1864, in consequence of an earth.
quake shock, an immense portion Of
the summit fell in, 80 that the ap-
pearance of the peak as seen from
Victoria was decidedly altered, il
being no longer conical and sharp,
but truncated.
Mt. Rainier was named by Van.
couver after his friend Rear Admi-
raj Rainier. It islt the highest mem
Der of the whole range. Mt. St.
Helen was named also by Vancouver
as We are told, for an English am.
bassadOr to the court Of Madrid. An
extended account Of Mt. Hood ID
given in the last of Mr.. Coleman'i
articles. He rejects an estimate ol
the heights of Nj. Adams which VA
made BY DR.. vanaans Of the United

recently when q Windsorite and .

"You ought to be we'll pounded,

The American thought of the
proposition awhile and then asked: /:
"H I go over with you will you

"I-I-yes, by thunder Wilt"
replied the mad Windsorite.
"And q suit of clothes?'
"No, I won't! That's asking too
much?"
"Well, those are the only terms

THE RECENT TORNADO In WIS
CONSIN.

CINCINNATI, O., May 2S.-A CONNER
cial special from Madison. Wisconsin,
says that large number of citizens are
visiting the scene of the recent tornado.
The roads are literally jammed with
teams from all parts of the country,
loaded with people, who are viewing the
devastations of the storm. None of the
accounts have been exaggerated, nor has
hardly half been told of its destructive
ness. The Eastern towns did not suffer
as much as Primrose. Boutwell, and Per-
ry. Thirty lives were lost in this coun-
ty alone. and nearly 100 seriously in
jured, while the destruction of property
will reach into millions.
From the first appearance of the cy-
clone at Mineral Point through its whole
course across the State, the destruction
was great 1t is estimated that so PEG
pie were killed and 200 to $50 injured
seriously, while scores are left homeless
many not knowing where their mex
meal is coming from. The accounts O
the survivors are narrowing in the ex
treme, and the woe and desolation tina
is everywhere visible is extremely pain

THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

We are not speaking against Mr.. COL
ton when we say that of the six candi-
dates for lieut-governor at the late re-
publican state convention, he is the least
calculated to fill the bill of all of them.
Then why was he chosen? Some say,
to win strength for the ticket among the
grangers as if Vermont was so closely
divided that the republicans are obliged
to truckle to any political element to Sc.
cure triumph. That is not the reason.
This candidate from Orleans county was
elected in order to take the pith out of
any further claims in that county dur
ing the elections of the ensuing fall.
Colton's nomination was doubtless the
result of Bradley Barlow's influence and
was designed not so much to ornament
the Vermont state house as to blanket
the congressional aspirations of General
Grout. This is evident from the fact
that the lieut-governorship was plainly
within the reach of the General. Barlow
wanted him and so did Barlow's friends.
But the General was too smart to bite
at that bait and it consequently became
necessary for the Barlow party to dis
pose of him in another way. Let us see
if this does not prove true.-Lyado1
Union.
The Union voices an opinion which
was quite prevalent at the convention
but nevertheless may not be correct
Mr.. Barlow's friends, no doubt, hoped
that the placing of Mr.. Cotton on tn,
State ticket would have a tendency t,
injure Gen. CIRCUITS prospects, but tn
friends of the General were not all o
that opinion. Certainly there is no val
id reason why the one thing should hav
anything whatever to do with the Other
The vital question in the third distric
is: Who is the best man in the distric
to serve the State and the country j
congress? If the canvass shows that {
the gentlemen named as fit for the pos
ton, Gen. Grout is the best, then b
ought to have it; otherwise. the good (

Senator Edmunds' new bill to regu-
late the count of the electoral vote for
President has some very decidedly adj
vantageous features. 1t has the merit
of preserving the present system of a
vote by States, and leaves the entire
solution of all doubtful questions to the
State in the first instance. 1t only al
lows Congress to consider the question
when the State has failed to do so. The
judgment of the lawful State tribunal in
case of contested elections is to be con.
elusive on Congress in case there has
been no determination by the State, and
but one return has been received by
Congress, it can be rejected only by the
concurrent action of both Houses but
when there is question whether there
has been such determination, or when
more than one return has been received
and there has been no determination be-
tween them by the State tribunal. only
such votes are to be counted as are ap-
proved by both Houses of Congress. A
more radical change in our electoral
system may be required; and certainly
the present cumbrous system does moi
work as its founders expected; but
meanwhile it is indispensable that some
temporary provision should be made to
meet the dangers of possibly contested
election in 1880.

VERMONT REPUBLICAN PLAT
FORM.

The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the Republican State Convention,
held at Burlington:
The Republicans of Vermont, stead
Easily adhering to the oft-declared prin-
ciples of their party, and sensible of the
gravity of the present exigencies in our
country, hereby resolve
First, that the motives and general
course of the administration of President
Hayes have our hearty appreciation. and
though differences as to policy may ex-
list, we rejoice in the belief that both the
Executive and the Republicans in Con-
gress are disposed to suffer no divisions !;
but, on the contrary, to observe the ex-
cellent precept, 'In essentials unity in
non-essentials liberty in all things
charity"
Second, that welcoming truth and
shrinking not from investigation. we yet
condemn as unfair, uncalled for and
revolutionary, the measure of the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives to in
vestigate part only of the facts per-
tanning to the Presidential election, and
consider that all efforts to reopen a
question of such magnitude, after it has
once lawfully and, as we believe, justly
closed, are detrimental to the prosperity
and perilous to the peace of the country
and deserving the apprehension of al
good citizens.
Third-That while we deplore thu
continued opposition of portion of thu
South to the efforts of the administration
to give equal rights and privileges to al
the citizens of the whole country, we d.
recognize the patriotic action and devo
ton of those in that section who nov
ct.-I e. c. Az Union "nI .h~ r~-rn

Fourth-That we cordially recon

ated.
The resolutions were heartily applaud
ed, and on motion of Governor Page aC
cepted and adopted.

Count Schouvaloff has arrived in Lon
don bringing proposals from the Tar
for the settlement of the Eastern ques-
ton. That they are pacific is certain;
that they will be accepted by the British
government is probable; what they are
is purely matter of conjecture. They are
supposed to include some changes IN the
boundaries agreed upon by the San Ste
fano treaty, a reduction of the war in
demnity, and a submission of other
points to European congress. We have
already pointed out that the differences
between the two governments was one
largely on questions eff form, and these
will be easily adjusted if substantial ac-
cord is attained on those of real import
ance. Even the war organs begin to
talk of peace prospects as "bright." A
resolution of Lord Hartington's, that
mo forces be raised or kept by the
Crown in time of peace, save in India,
without the sanction of Parliament ~
though it really only affirmed perfect
ly simple principle of English constitu-
tional law, was lost by a majority of 347
to 226, because it was regarded as log
ically involving Gas in fact it did) cen.
sure of the act of government in moving
troops from India to Malta. This is a
precedent which in future exigencies
may prove dangerous if not disastrous
to England. The arrangements of Rus,
sian and Turkish forces in and about
Constantinople do not indicate expecta
lions there of peace. The Porte hal
brought large force across the Bospho
rus to the Notifications of Constantine
pie, and the Russians are strengthenin,
their lines and accommodating war mate
rial. But, on the whole, our opinion
that war need not be anticipated till tn
drum beats. which we have entertaine,
ever since the treaty of San Stefano wa
signed, appears to be sustained by tn
present aspect of affairs.-ChyfStia

of their race, engineer wash-house over

understanding with customer about a
week ago, owing to delay in finishing up
the latter's work. The customer. by
way of making his dissatisfaction known,
overturned everything movable in the

breaking burning lamp over the head
of the pig-tailed boss. Then when one
of the dazed washermen had got enough
of his breath and his senses to start af-

not permit him but. lodging out of the
door, locked it on the outside and left
the luckless Confucians Gagged with q

Secretary Sherman has disposed of a
large amount of bonds, bearing and 4
IL per cent. interest. With the pro-
ceeds of these bonds he is taking up
those that bear higher rate of interest,

ability Of this nation to pay, that her 4
per cent bonds are eagerly sought fol
by capitalists.
