THE SWISS ALPS.
INTERESTING EXPLANATION OF THEIR
FORMATION.

INTERESTING EXPLANATION OF THEIR
FORMATION.
Professor Judd, of the r oyal School
OF Mines, London, gave recently an in
teresting explanation of the formation
of the Swiss Alps. The results of
geological observations he said show
that four stages can be recognized in
the history of these Alps. First, the
existence of line Of weakness in the
earth's crust nearly coincident with the
line of the present mountains. This is
evidenced by the fact that along this
line of weakness there were volcanic
outbursts, the results of which can still
be traced Secondly, there followed
along this line of weakness a depres-
sion, and in this huge 'strough'' of
miles in extent there were accumulated
sands, limestones and clays by various
forms of water agencies, and by ami
mails living in the waters Thirdly,
there followed the consolidation Of
these soft and loose materials. There
is evidence that the accumulation was
of from six to seven miles in thickness.
and the mere weight of the superin-
cumbent material on the lower strata
would have share in effecting con-
solidation. But that was not all. IN
der this vast covering heat had led to
crystallization from fusion. There
was, too, the crushing in from the
sides of the trough. This was illus
trated by model of the late Sir Fl. de
Ia Beche, where lateral pressure was
employed on layers Of different colored
cloth, showing how crumpling resulted,
with uplifting of parts Of the accumula-
ted mass. Fourthly, there had.been the
sculpturing of all this into it's present
from, which was the work of rains and
frosts. Some of the existing peaks, even
1900 feet high, were composed entirely
of the disintegrated material resulting
from the action Of the water, either as
ice in glaciers or as rain and streams.
The amount of material removed in
this way was SO stupendous it was
almost staggering to try to grasp the
facts. The sculpturing of the contours
is still going on. This fourth stage was
ofquite recent date, speaking geologi-
calIy; but the whole history involved a
lapse of time which at the beginning Of
this century philosophers would not
have been prepared to grant, even il
this since-acquired knowledge of facts
| had been presented to them.

A GENTLEMAN.

That man only is truly courteous
who is a gentleman from principle. To
be obliging and deferential toward
those who have it in their power to
show us favor, or occasion US discom-
fort, while we are surly and gruff to-
ward dependent, helpless or poor ones,
is essentially mean. To be bland and
accommodating to those we meet from
home, that SO we might be regarded
well-bred and clever, and to be Grabbed
and exacting at home, is to be worse
than cur, for dogsnever condescended
to be SO mean, being always most
friendly to the folks at home.
No one can be true gentleman or
gentlewoman who does not regard the
building up of character of more ac-
count than the building up of fortune,
or reputation. A man may subject
himself to the practice of self-denial
and kindness to others, and if it be for
the sake Of position, place or material
gain merely, he will be the loser by the
exercise; whereas if he indulge the
same practice for unselfish ends and the
benefit of others, and needy ones, he
must be the gamer by it. 1t is thus
that he who would gain his life shall
lose it, and he who will lose it shall
gain it.
A gentleman is more than a mere OBJ
server of the conventional proprieties
of social life. His gentleness must be
spontaneous. And if the reader would
like to know exactly how to be a
gentleman, let him read Paul's 18th
Chapter of his First Letter to the Cor
inthians.

HYDR0PHOBlA.

Mr.. V. f. BENEFIT Stamford, writing
to the London Times on the extra
ordinary prevalence Of hydrophobia in
England during the past and present
cold weather, says: 'tIt is a popular de-
lusion to suppose that either warm
weather or hot climates are the cause
Of hydrophobia. The disease is un-
common in India, and in some parts of
South America-notably British Gui-
ana-is entirely unknown. Ny object
in writing is to give simple piece of
advice to the public, and that is to
avoid all strange or wandering owner
less dogs travelling along the pavement
either meeting or Immediately follow
ing one. The reason is obvious. The
dog is very like human being in his
feelings and sympat HES, and when the
first symptoms OF this disease are upon
him he wanders for miles in sullen
and detected state of mind, not seeking
whom he may devour, but seeking dis
traction, for his irritated and demented
brain. Step out of his path quietly and
he will not attempt to annoy or bite
any one; but if any person or thing
knocks up against him, like drunken
man, he Immediately resents it. 1t is
thus 50 many children who innocently
pat strange dog get bitten. l would
add that in places where there are no
lost dogs homes all ownerless ours
should be destroyed by the police.

From the Sauk Centre Herald.
A young man by the name of William

of the guests of the house, added little

lie. He was on his way to Long Prairie

Michael Meide, the murderer, and the
woman who lived with them. He said
that last spring he went up to Long
Prairie for the purpose of purchasing
land, and made the acquaintance of the
Mcides. He had considerable money
with him, and at one time changed 8
twenty dollar bill for Michael. A few
days after this simple transaction he
called at their house and found no one
at home but the woman. She asked
him to come in and wait. He was very
tired and laid down on lounge. In .
few moments the woman came to him
threw herself onto the lounge and com

rushed in and accused him Of attempting
to take improper liberties with the ole
girl, and threatened to handle him yer,

about 500 in money and his note 70

Those 'tSanguine Expectations, ,

The st. Cloud Times seems to- fes]
rather bilious about the overthrow of ,ts
''sanguine expectations" in relation tc
the recent elections, and it doubts the
genu,neness of our party fealty simply be,
cause we doubted the wisdom of the pol,
cy adopted by the Democrats during the
extra session of Congress, predicted with
accuracy the result, and finally, after the
soundness of our views had been proved,
dared to say, awe told you so." The as
sertion of the Times that we rejoice at
the, overthrow of the Democratic forces
is wholly erroneous, and needs no further
comment. The editor of tho Times saws
| that he does 'snot believe that the session
had much, it anything, to do with the
State elections" How, then, does he &C.
count for the uniform Democratic loss in
every northern State where an election
was held. He attributes the loss of New
York to the Tammany bolt. But Tam
many only bolted on Governor, and the
Democracy of New York were thorough
ly united on the balance of the ticket,
yet their candidates Tor Lieutenent Gov
ernor, Secretary@of State, Comptroller,
Attorney General, and Treasurer, were
all defeated; and this in State that has
heretofore been considered reliably DEM
ocratic under all circumstances. The
Times attributes the loss of Ohio to the
"Ohio idea," and this doubtless did have
much to do toward defeating the ticket !;
yet the Democratic losses in New York
and Ohio were no greater in proportion
to the aggregate vote cast than in the
several other northern States where elec>
tions we're held, with the single excep-
tion of Minnesota. But there is no use
in arguing on question that the election
itself settled. Our predictions, made
while Congress was still in session, have
been fully verified; and we are unable
to see why party fealty should compel US

eyes to cogent facts, especially with the
certainty before us that the first election
would expose our folly. Indeed if our
party fealty may be questioned on that

editor of the Times declared great adnni4.
ration in his last issue, may be brought
to the bar of party judgment for the same
reason, with the single exception that
Bayard's prophetic vision consists of
hinds'ght instead OF foresight. In an
interview with a newspaper reporter,
published IN the New York weekly
World, of the 18th inst, Bayard said:
"The only course that I or any one else
could suggest would be to avoid the mistakes
of the past. There is n" use in attempting to
deny the fact that the course Of the Dem ocrat-
ic party has been unwise. Why with great
emphasisl, just look at it. In 1875 we had
nj arfy a three fourths majority in the House
of Representatives in 1877 that majority was
reduced-to about thirty members; in 1879 it
was bare majority and that was all, and in
the next session it will be just as much as the
Democrats can do to organize the House.
Now these facts speak for themselves and
show conclusively that there must have been
something wrong"
