The End Of the World.

Camille Flammarion, the we'll known
French scientist, thus beautifully ex-
presses himself in La Correspondence
Scientifque, regarding the ultimate
fate of our globe:
The earth was born; she will die.
She will either die of old age, when
her vital elements shall have been
used up, or through the extinction of
the sun, to whose rays her life is sus-
pended. She might die by accident,
through collision with some celestial
body meeting her on her route; but
this end of the world is the most inn
probable of all.
She may, we repeat, die natural
death through the slow ABSORPTION of
her vital elements. In fact, it is prob
able that the air and water are dimin-
ishing. The ocean, like the atmos-
phere, appears to have been formerly
much more considerable than it is in
our day. The terrestrial crust is pen
etrated by waters which combine
chemically with the rocks. 1t is al
most certain that the temperature of
the interior of the globe reaches that
of boiling water at the depth of six
miles, and prevents the water from
descending any lower; but the absorb
tion will continue with the cooling of
the globe. The oxygen, nitrogen and
carbonic acid which compose our at
mosphere also appear to undergo alb
sOrbtion, but slower. The thinker
may foresee, through the mist of ages
to come, the epoch, yet afar off, in
which the earth, deprived of the at
mospheric aqueous vapOr which pro-
tects her from the glacial cold OF space
by preserving the solar rays around
her, will become chilled in the sleep
of death. AS writer says: ''From
the summit of the mountails wind
ing sheet of snow will fall upon the
high plateaus and the valleys, driving
before it life and civilization, and
masking forever the cities and nations
that it meets on its passage Life
and human activity will press insen-
sibly toward the inter-treeieal zone.
st. Petersburg, Berlin, London, Paris,
Vienna, Constantinople and Rome,
will fall asleep in succession under
their eternal shroud. During very
many ages equatorial humanity will
undertake arctic expeditions to find
again under the ice the place of Paris,
Lyons, Bordeaux and Marseilles. The
sea coasts will nave changed, and the
geographical map of the earth will
have been transformed. No one will
live and breathe any more except in
the equasorial zone up to the day
when the last family, nearly dead
with cold and hunger, will sit on the
shore of the last sea, in the rays of the
sun which will hereafter shine below
on an ambulent tomb revolving aim
lessly around a useless light and a
barren heat.

The year of 1879 is certainly the year
or one of the years of great plenty.
In the Southern States the cotton crop
is larger than ever before known.
The tobacco crop is estimated to be
over twelve million pounds in excess
of what was produced in the tobacco
growing States of the Union during
the year 1879, while the sugar crop is
in excess of all other yields known to
Americans in America. These prod
ucts are raised almost exclusively in
the Southern States. Now let us see
how fares it with the States of the
North. 1t is estimated by reliable
authority that the wheat crop is in
excess this year of any previous year
to the amount of twenty million BUSH
els, and of corn one hundred million
bushels. The number of hogs raised
in 1879 is estimated in round numbers
to be the largest of any previous year.
The root crop is not unusually large,
but the different species seem to have
outgrown themselves. both in quality
and size. The reverse of this may
with safety be given as the estimate
of the material prosperity of the Old
World.

The fight in New York among the
democrats still continues, the latest
information being conveyed in the
following dispatch, of Dec. l3: The
Star this evening reports Congress-
man Sunset Cox as saying with refer
ence TO the Tammany bolt againt Til
den and Robinson: The democrats
outside of New York have never un-
derstood the movement nor do they
appreciate the necessity that existed
for it. 1t was essential TO party sue
cess next year. Tilden would not get
out of the way and we had to put our
knives into them. We could have
done it with twice as many votes as
were cast against Robinson if it had
been necessary. We had the best men
of the party both in the city and out
side of it to count upon. The star
asserts that it is in possession of facts
showing that Chief Justice Church
and Senator Herman countenanced the
movement, and that the fight between
the two factions still continues. 1t
also states that rilden has within the
last few days directed his party agents
to hold on to the organization and
control the delegation TO the national
convention.

IT is officially announced in New
York that the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company have purchased
steel rails, locomotives and equip
ments for POO miles of standard gauge
railroad, 10 be constructed in eastern
Oregon and Washington Tsrritory
during the year 1850. Fifteen hun
dred tons of the rails are nowon board
the ship Orient, soon to sail from Car
diff for Portland. One hundred miles
will be built from The Dalles up the
Columbia river to connect with the
existing Walla Walla railroad; fifty
miles more will be an extension of the
latter to Snake river, and the re-
mainder will connect TaXas ferry, on
Snake river, with the heart of the Pa
louise country. IL il stated that these
extensions and new constructions are
made for the purpose of opening up,
in conjunction with the Northern Pa
cific, the great grain producing district
of eastern Washington Territory. The
line of the Northern Pacific in this re-
gion extends from the mouth of Snake
river northeastwardly TO the Bitter
Root mountains, a distance of POO

An account of the finding of living

An account of the finding of a living
toad in solid rock in the state prison
quarry recently at Reno, Nevada was
published in the Gazette. Il is a sober
statement of fact, but was received
with some increjulity. 4 late article.
in Chambers Journal cites 10 uumer-.
Gus instances of the finding of live
tOads in trees and otoup-. It states
that records Of the French academy
of sciences there is Il description of a
living toad found in the heart of an
Old elm tree; and that toads in clay
have been oftener met with than in
trees: sometimes Il whole family Of
them have been dug up. The follow
ing is case in point:
In 1856 toad was found at con-
siderable depth at Benthall, near Bro
sely, Shropshire. Mr.. Bathurst, earth
enware manufacturer at Beuthall, as
certained that the creature was met
with about six feet below the surface,
in layer of tough clay, customarily
used for making Il coarse brown ware.
Above this layer, in successive strata,
were ferrugir Gus coal of poor quality,
clay, loan of clay and gravel, and
meadow turf at the top. The toad
was found filling a cavity as wax does
a seal. \ minute examination of the
superintendent strata failed to detect
any fissure through which the animal
could have entered. The light of day
seemed at first to distress it, but this
it soon became accustomed to; the
eyes were brilliant; the skin moist,
and the mouth quite closed.

The report of the discovery Of rich
mining camp on the north fork of John
Day river, in Umatilla county, ten
miles above Texas bar, is confirmed.
The East Oregonian says: This
stream has been mined more or less
since 1865, and had never thus far
proved remunerative, notwithstand-
ing that gold was worth SIS and $40
per ounce, everyone who had under
taken il had left sooner or later in
disgust. These discoveries had tried
everywhere, and finally concluded as
last resort to go to bedrock in one of
the numerous prospect holes on one of
the bars, that had been abandoned
years ago. They commenced aud
sunk about six feet and struck bed
rock, and better yet, struck gold in
paying quantities. After rocking out
several dollars and satisfying them
selves that the mines were good, they
came into the county seat to record
their claims and get supplies" The
country is said to be alive with pros
spectors from Canyon City, Granite
and Birch creeks, and nearly all the
country on the river is taken up.

Women, whenever the charge of eX-
travaeance is made against them, love
to taunt men of wholesale addiction to
vicious and immoral habits. In a
large share of the immortality men are
merely partners with the women, and
their other bad habits are largely, if
not wholly, Offset by the secret vices
INDUCED in by the fair sex. rhe use
of liquor, tobacco and cards is not con-
fined TO men. The ladies indulge, es-
pecially in cards and wine, much
more freely than is generally supposed,
while they also make use of arsenic,
chalk. cloves and various drugs 'for
the complexion" which are viciously
injurious to health. The vices of wo-
men are hidden from nearly all save
the keen eye of the family physician,
while those of men are classed in the
catalogue of fmisdemeanors; are neces-
sarily INDUCED in openly, are tried
and punished openly, and their effects
can be hidden from no one, owing TO
the extreme public manner in which
men are compelled to move and do
business. Thus n mans short-com-
ings are the common property of all
not to be suppressed by friends nor
saved from being magnitied by ene-
mics, while woman's secrets are al
most wholly her own, guarded relig-
iously and at every sacrifice by father,
brother, lover, or husband; guarded
not as the destructive sins that they
are, but as little misfortunes which,
however small, are yet too great for
the world to know.

\ story comes to us of young man
who had recently arrived from the east,
and was engaged at the United States
fsh-hatching establishment, in Me-
Cloud river. One day last week he
took row-boat, and pulling up the
river a short distance he crossed to the
opposite side and prepared to go ashore
Just as he was stepping out of the boat
the young man looked up on the bank
over his head, and saw what he thought
was large mastiff dog. "Some of
those Indians have stolen him." he
said to himself, "and l will take him
home with me-" Climbing the trail
with difficulty, he was soon face to
face with the mastiff. He whistled
and snapped his thumb and fingers
coaXingly, but instead of taking his
advances kindly, the animal uttered
Il low growl and, oscillating his tail
from side to side, prepared to 90 for
that young man. The latter. now
thoroughly alarmed, started for his
boat, tumbling headlong down the
hill, and just managed to get into his
craft and push it into the stream as an
immense specimen of California lion
landed on the shore. OF course the
lion would not take to the water, so
the young man was safe, but he says
he shall be careful how he makes over
lures to strange dogs in a strange
country after this. He was entirely
unarmed at the time, and after he got
into his boat heard the growls of an
other in the brush, showing that there
was evidently pair of the ''crea-
lures. .'-CdU.

A Battle With a Pan ther.
Henry Huutinpton. a son of orr

Henry Huntington, a son Of our old
pioneer of the Cowlitz country, is said
to be one of the most daring hunters
in Washington Territory. During
one summer, when but 16 years old,
he killed six bears and five panthers
with none to assist him other than
trusty rife and two faithful dogs. He
also killed many deer, elk, etc. during
the summer and winter. About two
weeks ago, before daylight, his dogs
freed a large panther near the house,
and taking his gun he hurried to the
spot. He could see an object in the
tree, and raising his gun, being unable
to take sight in the darkness, fired.
Down came the animal with heavy
bump, and the dogs sprang upon him,
when lively fight ensued. Mr..
Huntington took part in the fun by
seizing the panther by the tail and
plunging his hunting knife several
times into the animals body, fearing
to use his revolver lest he should kill
one of the dogs. After terrific strug-
gle the wiry panther freed himself
and made off, followed by the dogs.
The young hunter reloaded his gun
and also followed, knowing full well
the animal had again been treed by
the believing of the dogs. By the
time he reached the tree it was light
enough to see, and he shot the power
full animal dead from the limb of tree
where he had taken refuge. Upon an
examination he found that his first
shot had broken the animals lower
jaw, thereby preventing him from do
ing harm to the dogs, other than
scratching them up pretty badly.
This young man has quite Il local rep
utation, and whenever wild animals
become too familiarh he is sent to lay
! them out with his unerring rifle.

On the evening OF November 2nd,
1874, Miss Susan Hanson was shot and
killed at Brookfeld, New Hampshire,
while sitting with her mother and
brother i'll one of the rooms of their
house. Joseph Buzzell was arrested
for the crime, put on trial for the muir
der as principal and acquitted. Suisse
quently he was arrested as an accessory
to the murder, tried, found guilty and
sentenced. 60 be hanged. The only
witness against Buzzell was boy
named Charles Cook, who worked for
him on farm. He testified that he
was compelled by his employer to shoot
Miss Hanson. The case was appealed
to the. highest Court in the State, as
lawyers held that he, having been once
tried for the offense and acquitted,
could not under the Constitution be
again tried for the same crime. The
Court decided that one who had been
acquitted as principal in felony could
be convicted as an accessory in the
same felony. Subsequently the boy
Cook made affidavit that his testimony
at the trial of Buzzell was false. This,
however, did not save Buzzell from the
gallows,' as he was executed a few days
ago at Concord.
