Our esteemed contemporary, the Republican,
disagrees with US In thinking that member of
the District bar should be appointed to the
vacant judgeship, and maintains that as the
citizens of the United States pay half the ex-
penses OF the District government they have a
right to half the offices. Very We'll, putting it
on that ground, even If the new Judge is ap-
pointed from our bar, the District VIII only
have two judges out Of five, less than half. We
can't see that the country at large will have
any reasonable cause for complaint in being
represented by three judges out of five on the
District bench.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-12-19

One of the hottest regions on the
earth is along the Persian gulf, where
little or no rain falls. At Bahria the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet a
comparatively numerous population
contrj7e to live there, thanks to the
copious springs which break forth from
the bottom of the sea. The fresh water
is got by diving. The diver, sitting In
his boat, winds great eoatskin bag
around his arm, the hand grasping its
mouth; then takes in his right hand a
heavy stone, to which is attached a
strong line, and, thus equipped. be
plunges in and quickly reaches the bot
tom. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong jet of fresh water, he springs
up the ascending current, Mt the same
time closing the bag, and is helped
aboard. The stone is then hauled up,
and the diver, after taking breath,
plunges again. The source of the CO.
pious submarine springs Is thought to
be in the green hills of Osman, some
500 or 600 miles distant.

A Boy Who Resembles a Frog.

Five miles southwest of Kenton,
Tenn, on the Mobile and Ohio rail
road, is the greatest monstrosity of the
age-a human being who resembles a
frog. He is the son of r. Newell, is
twenty-six inches high, weighs forty
eight pounds, and was born in Oblon
county, Tenn, March II. 1875. His
body and arms are regularly formed
and well developed, his fingers are
short, and the manner in which they are
set on his hands gives them the appear
ance of a frogs feet; his legs are small,
and are set at right angles with the
regular line of walk his feet are small
and badly formed; his face is eight or
nine inches long, and makes an angle
of go deg. with the base of skull-facial
angle; his head is almost conical; his
eyes are small and without expression ;
his upper jaw projects far over the
lower one; his lower jaw is small and
bas superabundance of flesh attached,
which renders him quite froggy. He
can't talk. If you throw nickel ON
the floor, he will light on it like a
chicken on q Junebug. He can't walk,
but what is wanting in walking is made
up in jumping. 1 saw him Jump eight
feet after dime. If tub of water is
placed near him, he. will Jump into il
like duck. In rainy weather he goes
to the door and leaps out, and remains
outdoors until the rain is over. Obion

war and others naturally looked for the
thought in Bacon's Advancement OF
Learning" and, not finding anything
like it there, gave up the search. In
the connection. Bacon is describing a
sect which held peculiar views on the
subject of predestination. He says that
they give wider limits to the knowledge
than to the power of God Implying
that He may foreknow acts without nec-
essarily preordaining them, or, rather,
they restrict His power of doing more
than His power of knowing, "for knowl-
edge itself is power" This does not
mean that knowledge confers power,
but that the capacity to know may be
termed power.-Neac York Journal
of Commerce.

A Mountain Sheep Climbs Into a Tree
and Dies.

A few weeks since some miners dis
covered very singular curiosity in the
mountains near Bonanza City, Idaho
nothing less than the mammoth head
and horns of a mountain ram grown into
pine tree. The skull was found firmly
imbedded in the growing pine, the
trunk of the latter being some eighteen
inches in diameter, with the horns pro-
truding, and one, in it's natural curve,
re-entering the wood eight inches. Mr..
Fred Myers, of the Challis and Bonanza
Stage Line, soon heard of the find"
had the tree felled, and the section con-
tanning the rams head neatly sawed off,
Mr.. Myers has expressed the unique
specimen to Thomas l.. Kimball, Gene
raj Passenger and Ticket Agent of the
Union Pacific, in whose office it is now
on exhibition. 1t was a source of much
surmising, yesterday, upon the part of
dozens of visitors at Ucion Pacific
headquarters, as to how the horns be-
came thus fastened, and how many
years this lord of the sheep tribe has
been impaled in the lonely mountains of
Idaho. Some are of the opinion that the
animal, in search of food, was caught in
the forks of the tree scores of years
ago when it was mere sapling, and,
unable to extricate itself, there died,
the tree gradually growing over the
skull. Such instances in the case of
deer are very common, but none has
ever been chronicled, or at least not
reported, in which the wonderfully
muscular mountain ram has met such
fate. Another theory is that some In
dian or old-time employe of the great
fur companies received straight-away
hit from the ram, and in fit of revenge
hung his ramship up to recall the Incl
dent of the unfortunate affair, and in
dulge in remorse, but forgot to take
him down. Another is that in one of
those terrific battles in which mount.
ain rams often indulge each other this
one was "dodged" by his antagonist at
a very critical moment, and forked
sapling received the onslaught, never
after giving up its embrace. Still an
other is that it is practical illustration
of the theory of protoplasm. Certain
it is the ram got in very bad fix, is
dead, and is one Of the most valuable
and curious specimens ever sent to Mr..
Kimball's Office Omaha Republican.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Some Notable Things About Its Business

A few steps further on was the power
full institution whose influence is felt IN
finances and trade all over the world
the Bank of England. Bounded on all
four sides by the street, all its windows
prudentially open into central court,
and, since the riots of 1850, it has been
occupied every night by detachment
of soldiers. It's business requires a
working force of 1000 men. Its bank
notes are printed within the building.
The same note is never paid out over
the counter twice. The new bill that is
issued this morning is retired as soon
as it returns, no matter if the same
man pays it in again this afternoon
without wrinkle in it. 1t is allowed
to issue notes to the amount of f15,-
900, 900 on the security of its standing
loan of much larger amount to the
Government, which constitutes part
of the public debt. For every note is
sued above that and it has circula-
ton of over 100000 00-bullion of an
equal amount must be paid into the
treasury, and must be kept there for
the redemption of the note when it re-
turns. The traveller on the continent
often finds it's notes at pre-
MUM in gold. No note is issued
of less denomination than co. Every
note is numbered, and the name of the
party to whom it is paid out is carefully
recorded. The practice of keeping
memorandum which will show from
whom he receives every bank note that
passes through his hands is common
also with the painstaking London
tradesman. It proved fortunate thing
for friend OF mine on one OCCASION
He had given his wife G10 note. Their
little child got hold of the porte-mon-
naie and destroyed the note, as they
supposed, by throwing it on the open
fire. There would have been no hope
of realizing on a greenback under such
circumstances. But $50 was worth try
ing for. The number of the note as
ascertained from the parties through
whose hands it came to my friend,
sworn statement of the facts was filed
at the bank, and after year or so had
passed without It's having been pre-
sented for redemption the bank paid
over the money. The bank takes in
and pays out its gold coin by weight.
Sometimes it sends out sealed pack
age and receives it again before the
seal is broken, and yet deducts quite
sum from the amount at which 1t paid
it out, to make good the loss-detected
by the unerring scales-which occurred
by the abrasion of the coins in trans
portation.

A few days since lady asked us the
origin of the phrase knowledge is
power" and we replied by mail that it
was attributed to Lord Bacon. She
now replies by an extract from Bulwer's
.Mv Novel," in which the expression is
quoted, accompanied by a statement
that no such sentence is to be found In
all Lord Bacon's works. We saw Bull
wers statement when the novel APP
peared in Harpeg's Magazine, and
smiled complacently over our own SUI
perior knowledge, as we had traced the
anotation to the treatise of Bacon on
sects and opinions (de H@resiis), where
