east and west line extending from the
Atlantic ocean just half the distance

forming the southern boundary Of
Delaware. This line Mason and Dixon
did not run, but accepted the old sur
vey as true. They did, however, run
the line forming Delaware's western
boundary, but Mr.. Latrobe evidently
does not regard it as strictly a part Of
Mason and Dixon's line, and Cham.

WONDERFUL MIRAGES IN
ARIZONA.

An imaginative correspondent, writ
ing from Arizona, says at was only
a few weeks ago, between Gila Bend
and Maricopa, that l witnessed a most
marvellous and exquisite series of trans.
formations reflected by the phenome-
non OF mirage. The Sierra dc las Es-
trella mountain had entirely disappear.
cd, and in its place was walled city
upon the margin of beautiful lake.
All at once the city disappeared
air. toppled over and sank into the
bosom Of the tranquil waters. Then
arose o multiplicity of grotesque ele-
vations, which rapidly assumed the
character Of fairy islets, with lakelets
within themselves; then, oYing to
the unequal densitics and refracting
powers Of the adjacent strata of air,
the islets became transformed into cas-
ties, cathedrals, buttresses, cubes, for.
tifications and other rock systems OF
architecture, which only survived,
however, to vanish on perfect compile
ton. Again arose an object which re-
semb!ed magnificent opera house or
cathedral, with requisite description of
gothic windows and domes, balustrades,
imposing arches and doorways and
many colored lamps. This last picture
gave way to an immense tube, which
seemed to be suspended in the air, un.
til shivcred into almost infnitesimal
fragments, each of which assumed o
variety of shapes, with sorrated bor-
ders, and soon vanished or became
truncated below the horizon. Ther
arose an immense island, in shape not
unlike Alcatras again, it closely re
sembled Gibraltar, lifted in the air, al
the whilc presenting an aspect al
threatening as either Of the stronghold
above named. Then came the pyrs

press on the public the fact that news.
papers have become great teachers of
geography, and have increased, be-
yond all the possibilities OF the schools,
valuable knowledge regarding distant
places and foreign people. Each week
statements, which relate TO the affairs
of the most widely separated countries
and cities, appear in the newspaper
Obscure rivers become famous in con-
nection with great events occurring
on their banks; names OF towns are
suddenly elevated into Importance by
being associated with momentous incl
dents. When wars convulse and de-
vastate, or famine and pestilence
scourge other populations and coun-
tries, the first inquiry made by the
intelligent reader OF foreign news is
where are these things happening, and
reference must be made TO a map TO
ascertain the information which they
require. Now, why, suggests the
Herald, cannot the newspaper be util-
lied by the teachers of geography in
the schools? Instead of taking class
through the dreary list of cities, towns,
rivers, capes, islands, &C., until the
mind is wcaried by the monotony OF
recitation and memory is logged more
by the sing song association of sounds
than the intelligent retention OF names
and their relation to places and objects
the teacher should take the foreign
news in newspaper and read "Th'
Thesis river is rising and threatening
Szegedin," "Wherc is the Theiss ?
"What and where is Szegedin y Or

Is Bulgaria 2" Such practical qnes
tions at once awaken the interest Q
the scholar in the subject; he asso
ciates current news with interesting
and useful information, and thus &C
quires much more geography by thi
method than he possibly could obtaii
in the ordinary way. Indeed, if tn

WHAT rs TO BE DONE WITH
ALASKAP

Probably we have never made any
purchase in which we have taken 80
little subsequent interest as in Alaska.
Twelve years have elapsed since we
bought seven million dollars worth OF
cold weather and fur and fish, and we
have paid 80 little attention TO It that
any description Of the country to-day
comes under the head OF news. Every

something about the fisheries and the
magnificent mineral resources OF the
country, and now and then people
have gone out from the States-oI

powers that it grew to be in its way
an imperial despotism, Sitka was a
busy and prosperous town OF more
than thousand inhabitants, and the
centre of lucrative and extensive
trade. Russian capitalists found their
way there, and the company had in
its employ over seven thousand per.

When, in 1867, Russia sold out her
American possessions to us, "Russian
America" to the great annoyance Of
Juveniles in geography, suffered sea-

of "New Archangel," and stepped out
under the American flag as plain, short,

DISCONTINUED LABOR.

!
The complaint of the colored men
in convention at Nashville, that their
toll is not inadequately remunerated
and that they are thereby kept in pow
erty and Ignorance, is just such state
ment as could honestly be made by
the poor whites of any State or sec
ton. For tho past six years there has
been a vast surplus Of labor. The con-
sequence has been idleness and its in
evitable resnlts-poverty want, crime
and the long catalogue of events, Of
which these negroes complain in their
sad manifesto.
The fact that the white labor of the
North is more intelligent, and that it
has greater variety of occupations
than the colored labor of the South, is
in its favor But all this has not pro-
vented terrible and widespread suffer-
ing, the ruin of thousands, the break.

among the most intelligent, much
doubt exists. A remarkable letter has
been written by physician in this
country to Prince Bismarck; who some
time since appointed a committee for
examining medical candidates in the
German Empire and it appears that
the arguments presented in this letter
have attracted much attention. Tho
prominent recommendation is that of
making physicians government officers
paying them salaries, and making them
independent Of the patronage Of their
patients. There will then be no in.
ducement to doctors TO deceive those
treated by them but the practicability
OF inducing such officials to give the
careful attention to sick persons which
they sometimes need may be greatly
doubted.
Our city is situated in q climate

there are no local diseases prevalent,
and from an carly period in our coun-
try's history il has been the chief seat
Of medical education. There IS no
reason why Philadelphia should not be
the healthiest, as il is the most
pleasant, place ofresidence in the world.
There are, however, some forms OF
disease which battle our physicians,
particularly those which affect the
throat and lungs. That in many cases
they are hereditary is beyond question;
but there is the greater reason why
their causes and origin should be well
ascertained, and the habits, food, occu-
patlons and manner Of spending leisure
time should enter into the instruction
Of the people in all conditions of so
ciety. In this city, as well as in all
others, an injudicious and extravagant
use of stimulants, sedatives and marco
lies undoubtedly tends to reduce in.

'equently to diminish productive
,ower Under favorable circumstances
he use of such things may be, to
extent, prevented and it
should be kept in mind that habits of
industry, diligence in business, an

before the choir had finished, il was

sermon it fell into the preachers lap.
In vain he tried TO get it back. The
