After all, the great problem OF irrigating
the desert may be accomplished by natural
means and without the expenditure OF vast
sums OF money, as has been proposed.
Tho Arizona Sentinel, in reviewing the SUBJ
ject, draws attention to the fact that the
surveys made in 1878 Of the desert lying
west OF the Colorado river und extending
into Mexico, demonstrated fully that it
was cut of from the Gulf Of California by
the sediment deposited by the Colorado
river. The old shore lines are distinctly
recognizable away up in San Bernardino
county, and great beds OF oyster and other
marine shells attest the presence, at
no remote day, Of sea-water ut
places from which IL is now
i50 miles distant. Tho Southern
Pacific Railroad crosses this dried up
part Of tho gulf. running for over sixty
miles at levels from one 10 $40 feet below
1hst OF the sea. Tho Colorado river has
deposited sand and mud along its course
until its bod il in places fully 400 feet
higher than Il was in the old days, when
il emptied into the gulf at least 100 miles
nearer Yuma than it does how. II con-
tinued to pile up sediments until dam
was formed, reaching across the gulf to the
Lower California shore. The head Of the
gulf thus became lake of salt water, and
being fed by no streams, gradually dried
mp. This dam now averages only height
of az feet above mean high tides. The
Colorado now flows to the south of 1t, but
some trifiing change Of currents may yet
cause 1t TO cut away the dam to the north,
and to reconvert the desert into q lake.
This does not seem as impossible as that
tho river should abandon its old bed, north
OF Fort Yuma, and force its way through a
rocky hill; yet we all can see that the lat
ter has actually occurred.

SIR John A. Macdonald's ssNatiOnal


The conservative leader in Canada having
won his victory seems at u loss what to do
with it, He has promised protective
tariff for the benefit OF Canadian manufac-
turers; but to make it really protective he
must make it an equal barrier against the
introduction ofEnglish and American goods.
Discriminating duties against the United
States would not help the infant manufac-
lures Of the Dominion, because the mother
country would command its markets and
break down its domestic industries. Like
all other protectionists, those of Canada wish
to be protected against low prices. 7hich
they can never be if their markets are
flooded with British goods admitted at
low rites Of duty. But if Sir John Mac
donalds government legislates against
British trade it will incur the i'll will Of the
whole British people. Taese difficulties
give him pause. and it will require more
skill than he possesses to frame tariff
which will at once satisfy the Canadian
manufacturers and retain the friendship
OF the mother country.

THE SEVENTH REGIMENT ARMoRY.-The
trustees Of the Seventh Regiment Armory Fund
have issued another appeal for money to enable
them to complete the same. Although the
work on the building is i'll an advanced state
the sum Of one hundred thousand dollars is
still needed to finish it hence this call for
further subscriptions. That the response will
be prompt and generous we feel assured, for
the past services of the Seventh regiment
have rendered it famous in the history Of New
York, while in the future they promise to he
of even greater value. A strictly military
organization, this regiment is not only q splen
did school for training our young men to be
good soldiers, but it stands to-day the model
militia regiment of the Union. Let every man
who loves peace and values good order give
what he can. and the fund will be sosn COM
plcted IL will be a safe investment and bear
good interest hereafter.

The Young Mem and Maidens oi
Oberiin College.

This Ohio institution Of learning. whose
name and fame are SO well known, has met
with mishap which is making it the butt
lin College was the earliest seminary of SO
high rank to abolish distinctions of sex
and race and admit all upon an equal foot
ing Young men and young women, white
persons and negroes, enjoy equal advan-
tages OF instruction within tho walls
Of it's eight spacious buildings, and
there have gone forth from its halls, first
and last. many able men and superior
women. General Cox, who was at one time
Governor Of Ohio, afterward President
Grants Secretary Of the Interior and is
now distinguished member of Congress,
is one Of it's alumni, and among its female
graduates are the wives of many Ohio citi-
gems of the highest standing. This institu-
tion, which was founded in 1888, has here
tofore been SO fortunate as to escape scan
dals of every description, and hundreds of
estimable people in Ohio and elsewhere feel
queer and uncomfortable over the recent
escapade Of some Of its male and female
students. But really it is a subject for
laughter rather than tears. The regulations
at Oberlin have always been very strict and
rigorous, especially those relating to the
two sexes. The young ladies are required
to be in their rooms at half-past seven in
the evening, and cannot afterward leave
them during the night. There is q similar
regulation for the young gentlemen, but the
hour is later. What has recently happened
at Oberin is an evasion Of these rules.
Half dozen rollicking young men
and two or three hoydenish young women
have contrived to have night interviews as
daring, though less romantic, than the one
which everybody has beheld on the stage
between Romeo and Juliet. Coming out
into the starlight over friendly adjoining
roofs, or letting themselves down from win
dows with bedclothes knotted together at
the corners, these enterprising young peo-
