Fossil Forests.

In the valley of the East Fork of the
river which flows through the wonder
ful Yellowstone National Park of the
United States, says the London Times,
the group Of rocks known, for want Of
better designation, as the "Volcanic
Tertiary" is typically developed and
has thickness of upward Of 5000 feet.
Its prevailing materials are fragmentary
volcanic products which have been ap-
parently redistributed by the agency of
water, and now form breecias, cOnglom-
crates and sandstOues. These strata
contain a great abundance of silicified
wood; and in many places trunks of
trees many feet in height and of gigan-
tic proportions seem to stand in the
Identical strata in which they grew.
Sometimes the crumbling cOnglOm-
crates wither away from about these,
leaving them to stand upright along the
steep mountain sides. Mr.. W. H.
Holmes gives an accOuntOf these forests
in the recent published number of the
5th volume of the Bulletin Of the United
States Geological and Geographical
Surrey Washington, February 2S,
1879. n section is given representing
the north face of Amethyst Mountain.
II includes 1000 feet of strata. The
summit Of this mountain is 8, 400 feet
above the sea, and the river flowing at
its base is 200 feet over the sea level.
Riding up the smooth river-bed, one
has but to look to the right up the cliffs
to discover multitudes of the bleached
trunks of these ancient forest trees. In
some OF the sleeper portions of the
mountains face, rows Of upright trunks
stand out like the columns of some long
since ruined temple. On the more gentle
slopes lower down, but where it is still
too steep to support vegetation, save
here and there a few pines, the petrified
trunks fairly covered the surface, and
were at first taken to be the shattered
remains Of a quite recent forest. Some
times the trunks were found in a fine
state Of preservation. Some lying pros
trate measured 50 feet to go feet in
diameter. The woody structure was so
well preserved that il could be at once
declared that this giant tree was not
confer.
The strata also contain, as might be
expected, many rOOtlets, leaves and
fruits-a collection Of which has been
submitted for determination to Professor
Leo Lesquereux. They include an
Aralia, a Magnolia, and new species of
lime, an ash, an elm, and of a
diospyros; also some new ferns. Some
of the species are apparently identical
with those described by Professor Whit
ney from the Elk Creek strata. But
these strata are lower than the Yellow
stone Park strata by fully 1000 feet, and
are separated from them by fifteen
miles of broken country. These extraor-
dinary fossil forests add one more to the
noteworthy objects to be found in the
National Park of the United States, al
ready, in respect to its natural phenOm-
ena, without an equal in any part Of the
world.

cHAPrER XXI.

Young Stoddard strobe along rapidly
for some time, hoping to find his enemy
near by, hut the prudent Captain had
not deemed it wise to stop till consid-
erable distance was placed between him
and our friend with the muscular arms
and sturdy fists, though OF course he
knew nothing Of his confederate's mis-
hap.
Two hours later Frank was about to
abandon the search for that time, aud
had turned his face homeward, when he
caught a glimpse Of the hated face, just
rs its owner, having seen him at a dis
tanee, was trying to screen himself from
observation among the gentlemen with
whom he was conversing. Frank
stepped into store aud purchased a
stout horsewhip, and then walked
quickly to the place where the Captain
was engaged in conversation with sew
eral prominent men, with most OF
whom our friend was acquainted. His
quick eye detected on several faces a
look OF cold contempt as he approached;
but a few men greeted him cordially,
and with evident respect Talbot af-
fecteG ignorance Of his presence, but not
long.
"Gentlemen," said Frank, in clear,
ringing, indignant tones, "this villain, ,"
pointing with the whip to Talbot, "has
maliciously and foully slandered my
adopted sister. His base accomplice
has just been compelled to own that the
lie was told for revenge, because this
sneaking coward could not win her
hand. Now, I demand full retraction
and an ample apology, and If it is not
given, trust no one will interfere Ia
save the wretch from the punishment
he deserves and the tall, broad
shouldered figure looked more majestic
aud threatening, while the dark eyes
seemed to shoot out angry lightuiugs al
the base miscreant, whose knees trem-
bled even while he said, pompously, as
he retreated little, with his hand in
his breast pocket;
Gentlemen, you see this cowardly
insolent puppy is afraid to meet me, a:
l said, upon equal terms. and"
But before the sentence could be COM
| pleted, Frank sprang upon him and dis
armed him; then coolly handing the
beautiful, deadly weapon we have seer
before to one OF his friends, he turned
before the furious Captain could recover
himself, and struck him fiercely with
the whip. Talbot gave utteranee to &
fearful oath, and made desperate efFor
to close with Stoddard but the latte
eluded his grasp, and piled his stinginl
whip again and again, till at last tn,
maddened man was rescued by some o
his friends, who interfered, thinking b,
had had enough, even If be was a Sian
derer, which not man present nov
doubted, from the conduct Of both par
ties.
The Captain was led away. cursin,
fearfully, but Franks only remark, ut
tered in tone of terrible meaning, was

When You see fellow mortal

Hanging on the skirts OF others,
Walking IN their cast-OH shoes,
Bowing low TO wealth and favor,
With abject, uncovered head,
Ready To retract or waver,
Willing 10 be led or drove,
Walk yourself with frmer bearing.
Throw your moral shoulders back;
show your spine has nerveand marrow
Just the thing which his must lack

When YOU see theOIogfap
Hueging close some ugly creed.
Fearing TO reject or question
Dogmas which his priest may read
Holding back all noble feeling
Choking down each manly view.
Caring more for forms and symbols
Than 10 know the Good and True.
Walk yourself with frmer bearing:
Throw your moral shoulders back:
show your spine has nerve and marrow
just the thing which his must lack.
A stronger word

When you see a politician
Crawling through contracted holes,
Begging for some fat position,
In the ring or at the polls.
With no sterling manhood in him,
NOthing stable, broad, or sound,
Destitute Of pluck or ballast,
DOuble-sided all around,
Walk yourself with nrmer bearing:
Throw your moral shoulders back

Just the thing which his must lack.

The Outside vote I'm New
York and Ohio.

The interest IN the elections Of
this fall will he concentrated upon
the result in New York and Ohio.
Those who make calculations in
regards to those results, but leave
out of viewthe outside vote, will be
apt t. commit serious h!unders.
A few figures OH this subject will
be instructive.
Last fall the whole vote cast in
New Yo k for the only State Off
Ger to be chosen was $4,000. The
Republicans gave their candidate
39l 900. aud the Democrats gave
theirs 259,O00. The Nationals
threw Il little over 5000 votes.
and the Prohibltionists abDEt
1000. 1t will he perceived. there
fore, that Though the Republicans
gave $4,000 more votes than the
Democrats, they tell 24,000 short
of an absolute majority of the en-
tire vote, while on the other hand
the Democrats dropped $4,000 be
low that mark.
As it requires only plurality
to elect State officers il New
York, this view OF the situation is
apparently favorable to the Re
publicans. But this. affords Il very
unstable bass wherein to bnilo

ming tall tor who can make any
