1t was the opinion Of the late Prof
Agassiz that, at former period. enor~
nous masses Of ice covered the great and
beautiful valley OF Switzerland. altogether
with the whole chain OF the ]ula, the
sides of which, facing the Alps. are also
polished and intcrspersed with angular
and cratic rocks, resembling the boulders
in the mountains, yet so far different that
the masses of ice, not being there con-
fined between two sides OF a valley, their
movements were in some respects differ.
ent-,he boulders not being connected in
continuous ridges. but dispersed singy
over the Jura a, difieren, levels. But the
most striking theory. perhaps. advocated
by this great scientist, was this, namely
that, at a certain epoch, all the north Of
Europe, and also the moth OF Asia and
America, we're covered with mas Of
ice, in which the elephants and other
mammalia found in the frozen mud and
gravel of the arctic regions, were imbed-
ded at the time OF their destruction and,
therefore, when this immense mass OF
ice began quickly to melt, the currents OF
water thus resulting, transported and de-
posted the masses Of irresularly rounded
boulders and gravel which fill the bottom
OF the valleys - innumerable bouldep
having at the same time been transported,
together with mud and gravel, upon the
masses Of the glaxiers then set ahoat.

A pitiful incident of the late great
fires OF the Iowa prairics was the death
Of Fred Aiken, boy in Grant town
ship He stayed in a hayhesd trying to
save stack until it WAS too late to es-
cape the fire by running. He wet a
horse blanket in creek, wrapped HIM
self in it, and took the desperate chances
Of dash through the flames. The ef
fort proved fruitless. The flames licked
of the blanket as though it had been
paper, and burned the boy NO badly that
he died within n few hours.

A NOBLE YOUNG GIRL.
She Effects a Reconciliation Be-
tween Her Estranged Parents.

Eleven years ago the daughter of
w. B. Wallace little school girl of
seven years-was abducted from her
fathers house, in Portland, Oregon.
Wallace searched high and low for
her, and though he felt certain that
her mother, from whom he was sepa-
rated, had taken her, there was no
clue to her whereabouts. One day
last month the father was surprised
to receive dainty missive, addressed
in u neat hand. He was still more
surprised when the word My dear
est, dearest father" met bis eye. He
read through his tears that Lillian
was living with her mother at va
kima and that she had determined
either to reconcile her parents or to
live first with the one and then with
the other. She said that her mother
put her in the Sisters school at Van
couyer,, and that she had been edu-
Gated there. Wallace remembered
that he had been policeman at Van
couver part of the time mentioned
by his daughter, and had passed a
thousand times under the shadow of
the school building, never dreaming
Of her presence. He fastened to
Yakima, and it was agreed that there
should be reconciliation. Miss
Lillian is a handsome young lady Of
eighteen now, and the part she
played in the romance makes her the
heroine Of Portland and of the Far
Northwest. an ~ss eTst

The Girdle Of Marie Louise.

An interesting relic is about to be
sold under the hammer of Messrs.
Christie, which, besides its associa-
tion., is worth seeing as specimen
Of jewelers. work of the time of
the Empire. 1t is girdle presented
as wedding gift to the Empress
Marie Louise by Napoleon. A memo
randum pinned to the lining of the
case which contains this elegant crna-
ment tells us that it was bequeathed
in 1S47 to the late owner-who was,
it may be added, the late Countess OF
Westmoreland, who died recently at
the great age of Shy the will Of
the Empress, widow of Napoleon,
"with whom I lived in much friend
ship and intimacy at Parma and
Florence from 1915 to $780," The
,~inture is Of gold, the design being
classic. of the style Of the Empire,
formed of two narrow bands of open
work, set with pearls in the form of
the Greek honeysuckle st the edges,
and joining at the center with a large
antique onyx cameo of Apollo and
muse, from which hangs long pen
dant increasing in width down to the
lowest edge, where j: is ornamented
with five imperial crowns, each hav-
ing a tassel of loose pearls. The pen
dant, being flexible, is made If broad
openwork links of two patterns, re-
peated alternately, and gradually
larger and larger from the waist
downwards. The one of these is
sort Of true lovers knot, inclosing
Y wreath with a star of gold; the
other, a wreath with the Napoleon
Bee. The edges are ornamented
throughout with honeysuckle orna-
ments in pearls set jour, giving the
utmost elegance and finish to this
beautiful girdle, which was executed

MATED, But NOT Welded.
A Respectable Young Couple Live
Together as Man and Wife,
without Being Married.

1t seems that young man and
woman of Bucksport, Maine, were
not SO much married as they thought
they were short time ago. They
met and were each charmed by the
others qualities. A mutual friend
ship grew up, which in few days
ripened into love. 1t was agreed
that they should I've married, and
after a brief lapse of time they Wis
tied a welI-known Justice OF the
Peace in that town and were mar
ried, or supposed that they we're.
Two weeks passed on and the dis
covery was made by the supposed
Justice of the Peace that bis term of
Office had expired prior to the mar
riage ceremony, and that the couple
were not legally married. The sur
PRISE of the man and his aflianced
when the state Of the case was told
them can hardly be imagined. They
had lived together rs man and wife
for two weeks, and the announcement
of the fact that they were not mar
ried created quite a little sensation.
But the sequel is even stranger than
what went before. The would-be
husband said to his intended wife
that they would so and see some one
who was really II Justice of the Peace
and get legally married. She said
she believed she did not care to, that
she had had enough OF married life
for the present, and persisting in that
opinion she left town the next day
for Boston. -&+E t-

Gold Discoveries in North Carolina.

An excitement of unusual extent
prevails in Randolph county,
which resembles that at the famous
mines at Leadville, Colorado. The
discovery of fresh gold deposits has
just been made, and these are prov
ing to be exceptionally valuable in
the precious metal. Before the war
the mines in Randolph were noted
for their production of gold. The
Gray, Russell and Eagle mines were
extensively worked, with the best
machinery, and paid big dividends.
There were also an immense num-
Der Of smaller mines, which brought
wealth to the workers. These were
all operated until the war put
stop to all such things. 1t is not
worth while for North Carolinians
to go to the far West in search of
gold, when they have in their own
State such rich opportunities. If
the mines of this State we're prop
erly developed, and an amount Of
energy equal to that shown in the
West were shown, the results
would be such as to crafty the
most ardent miner.-Raleigh News.

-DR. ROWLAND, of Prince
Georges county, Va, visited Swift
Creek, near Petersburg, a few days
ago. While walking near the banks
OF the stream he discovered in toll
erably shallow water, school of
fish of large size. Being unable
to resist the invitation to the sport
called up by the sight, he deter
mined to fire upon the fish with an
ordinary pocket revolver, the only
weapon at hand. The result of his
shot was remarkable, three large
sized pike and frsckle rising to
the top of the water and re-
naming motionless. Upon being
taken from the water three of the
pike showed plainly the marks of
the pistol ball, but the treckle was
untouched, and was no doubt killed

Reviving Prosperity.

We have now reached the period when the
season of summer dullness in business usually
gives place to the activity of the fall trade. 1t
need not be said to any man who keeps MS
eyes open that business has held its own well
through the hot months and is opening well
already for autumn A glance at the streets
devoted to wholesale trade will show how the
goods are moving The very surface indica-
tions of activity are more obvious than they
have been at this season OF the year since the
panic What appearances indicate is borne out
abundantly both by the statistics of receipts
and shipments, by the steady advancing
prices and by the testimony of business men
with scarcely an exception. Inquiries at ran
dom among large number of merchants, II a
great variety of the departments OF trade,
have not drawn from single one OF the per-
sons addressed a statement either that his own
business is dull or that any of his competitors
in the same line are suffering from quiet
market There are, of course, degrees OF ac-
tivity. Some merchants only think business is
good considering the season, while others COM
placently report that they nave more ofdefS
than they can fill
Such is the general condition of things here
in Boston. Reports from other points are
quite as favorable. Interior New England
is enjoying general revival of manufacturing
ingyindustry at all the important points, and
trade improves as fast as employment be-
comes general The men who hope to obtain
political advantage out of the supposed distress
of the working classes will have hard time OF
it this fall The season for that has passed.
Labor is almost fully employed and would be
SO without any qualification if it were better
distributed. In short, there is now in NJ as
sachusetts work ready for all men who wish for
work. Aud the same remark is true, if we
may credit our exchanges, in all the great
trade and manufacturing centres of the East
and Northwest. Everywhere goods are moy-
ing rapidly and business is done at profit.
and the amazing revival in the iron trade have
quickened and vivified the whole Northern
belt of the country All symptoms of despon--
dency and apprehension have vanished, and
men now Look forward with the strongest hope
of coming prosperity.
