The Arkansas Supreme Court re-
Gently decided that the 100000 Of
levee bonds of the State were illegal
and void, on the grounds that the
bill providing for their issue did not
pass the Lower House of the Legis-
lature in the manner prescribed by
the Constitution. There was an un-
disputed majority in favor of the bill.
but the clerk omitted to enter the
names of the members voting in the
negative upon the journal. This the
Court decided was a fatal omission,
and the bonds are therefore void.

I've told everybody we'ere going
To Long Branch, and then TO the springs
And now to come down t. the country!

That's worth more than money you say;
Hope folks will think it is meanness,

A0oRING LOGS AT PRIEST POINT.
As result Of the recent conversation
with DIR. Marion, the Superintendent Of
thc Tulalip Indian Reservation, it would
be proper TO state that he disclains all
personal influence whatever of others
upon him in the recent orders relating
to the mooring Of logs at Priest Point.
The difficulty arises in certain sense
from the loggcrs and Superintendent
each misunderstanding the position OF
the other. 1t seems lhatever since 1864
logs have been moored there without OBJ
lection, until loggers looked upon it as
an undoubted right 10 SO secure the logs
from this river; yet notwithstanding this
long use the Superintendent has an un-
doubted legal right to order the loggcrs
to cease such use unless they can show
authority from Washington permitting
it. The superintendent sees that the
enforcement OF this ordero Of his would
work, to say the least, great hardship
upon the loggers Of che river aud wishes
TO have the matter permanently and
satisfactorily settlcd by their procuring
the requisite legal authority from Wash
ington to use that part Of the Reserva-
y 'lon IN such manner as may be neces-
sary to protect fully the loggers' interest
n he pledges himself to aid and assist in
u procuring such an oder, provided that
sac logjSrs Of this river will make an
enort themselves to obtain it. There is
no doubt but what the DR.. intends to
X 90 justice in the premises; nor is there
any doubt but what this method Is the
M 'p'est one to settle The whole question

Professor Gmaai,g Speaks on the Origin and
Structure Of the Comstock Lods

frojeSSor Cunning Speaks on TIE origin ana
Structure ofns Comstock Lode.
Professor Cunning delivered lecture
at Dashaway Hall last night ON "Gold
aud Silver, from Studies On the C0mstock
Lode.v The first point the lecturer mat Q
was that gold and silver are not localized
on tho earth. With this demonstration
under her Ieet, that no element is local,
that all elements are universal, science is
sublimity itself, Gold and silver. like
other forms of matter. in the beginning
dwelt in atoms alone and invisible. Out
OF seeming nothingness came this solid
globe. Silver is a solid metal, quicksil
+ycr a liquid metal, and hydrogen, most
likely, "A gnseous mctti. But heat will
make silver flow Ike qr+eksiiwr, and
higher degrees ot iieat will break IT iito
atoms md sund it Invisible through The
,aYe ike hydrogen. The human n.lnd as-
serted the continuity ef matter, nnd now,
through the grandcst-ach'cvement oi
experimental science, the eye has been
made TO see what the m.nd had seen.
The gases have been liquifed. Science
finds metal, FIRST, dwelling alone and
ditiiused through space; next, dwelling
with sulphur and diffused through tue
ocean. AS The starlight reveals the pres
ence OF metal atoms in the decps otspace,
so fossil seawater reveals thc metal from
out the deeps oil time. This sea water,
imprisoned in crystals OF the old rocks,
shows that the prilneval sea was rich IN
minerals. Facts were put in array to
show TINT metals came into tle rocks,
not from iirc sea below, but from seas
above. The speaker went ON TO show
how metals ares Withdrawn from the sea
through seaweeds and decaying organ
isms and Ibid away in'the sediments are
transformed into rocks, snd nature must
now pick out the atoms ofgold and silver
aud bring them together into veins. To
show how this step is taken, the lecturer
tuok lis audience to the Comstock lode.
lie made drawings Of the fssure and the
bounding rocks, and described the man
ncr in which the fssure was filled.
Through this tissure issued q solfatsra-
Volumes of steam and chlorine and hu-
orlne issued from the rent and dreped q
freight Of quartz aud silver and gold, a
assure is filled from above downward;
and an ore channel is formed outside OF
the assure and along its axis. All the
features oil the Comstock lode conform
to the requirements OF theory There IS
nothing exceptional. The old Roman
workings ut Felsobanzo show that the
ore channel and bonanzas occurred Just
as they do in the Comstock. The lect-
urer show cd that the hot water and vap-
ors do not prccipitate the saetai they
hold until they cuol to certain degree
and the pressure is removed.

YoLATILIZ IZATION or THE DIAMOND.
In 1850 the Emperor Francis l., at Wen.

chemist Darzet, diamonds and rubiss
worth 5000 forins TO the heat OF q smelt-
furnace for "a hours. The diamonds
were found to have totally disappeared;
but the rubies remained, and appeared
much more beautifu. than before. In

fire to purify them from certain blemishcs.

he cured evely patient withoatexception.
He put tsaspooufulo -four ofbnmstono

The sulpur does not readily amalgamate
with water. When the sulphur was
well mixed he gave it AS a gargle, and
in ten minutes the patient was out Of
danger. Birthstone kills every species
OF fungus in man, beast and plant in a
very lew minutes. Instead OF splitting
out the garglc, he recommended the
swallowing OF II. In extreme cases in
which he had been called just in the nick
OF time, when the fungus was too nearly
closing to allow the gargling, he blew
the sulphate though quill into the
throat, and after the inngus had shrunk
toallow OF it, then the gargling..
IF the patient can hot gargle, take
live coal, put it on II shovel and sprinkle
a spoonful or two Of -four OF brlmstouc

will die. If plentifully used, the whole

Come closer Love, and hold my burning

From whence no more of life for her could
flow.
She died-O God the dewy eyes are

The dimpled hands are ours to kiss no

They tore her from my longing arms-my
arms
That lovingly the precious burden bore,

The very last, of that fair crown of pearls
That gemmed our livcs-our noble, manly
boys,
Our gentle, playful, loving little girls.
All gone in one short week--the dear
home-nest
Robbed of its birdlings, caught within the

Hold me fast thus, my Darling, in your

Vainly he clasped her to his stricken heart,
Weeping and praying as the hours went by,

How Street Railroads are Managed in San

J. S. Bunnell in st. Nicholas for Nov.
Clear the track | want to tell
the st. Nicholas readers of decid-
ed novelty | came across the other
| day, i'll that young giant of city,
San Francisco. Turning corner,
| saw high on the steep hill-for
many of these San francisco streets
are steep hills-two carloads OF
gay people, gliding rapidly forward
| without sign or trace of either
locomotive, dummy. engine, or
horse. Onward and upward
went the little train, stopping
itself now and then, and start
ing again, apparently with the
greatest ease. No smoke was to
be seen, no steam hissed and pulled,
no clank of machinery was heard.
No confusion of any kind. The
motive power, like some of the
greatest forces in nature. was hid
den. What was it that pulled this
pair of city cars along so easily 7
You shall hear.
In the middle of the track, run
ming its entire length, we find a
continuous opening or slit, about
as wide as a mans finger, into
which fits "a fat iron bar, projecting
from the under side of the leading
car; while below this opening, and
down under the track, continually
runs thick wire cable or rope, i'll
a space about large enough for a
small boy TO crawl in. The long
cable is made to run easily on small
pulleys-say, ten feet apart-by a
powerful steam engine located
about midway OF the route; and
this cable always is running down
one track, and up the other, into
the engine-house, over and around
ponderous iron wheels, which keep
it in motion.
Whenever a car is to be started
the driver has simply to move a
large lever, in the middle of it,
shaped like u railroad switch, and
the lower end of this lever, beneath
the slit in the track, grapples the
running cable, like a wise or jaw,
and away move levers, cars, dri-
yer, passengers and all.
No one is allowed to speak to the
driver, for he must be constantly
on the alert, ready for action.
Just imagine, my boys and girls,
a long rope extending down the
street, trailing along behind team
of horses, on a winters day; and
suppose you wanted a ride on your
sled, what more natural than that
you should grasp tight hold of this
rope, and take a row, as the sailors
say, gliding along with it at your
pleasure; and when you choose to
stop, you wosld need but to relax
