Al Incident OF hi shcridnu-.t Career.
correspondent OF the Chicago Times
furnishes the following "Reminiscences:
In the carly part of 1855, when Oregon
was yet Il territory, there were busy
scene and great activity at Fort Dallas.
A thrce-company post was Just being
completed, and all were anxious to get
into the more comfortable quarters.
The garrison was composed OF three
companies of n bran-ncw regiment,
recently from the east, and, rs many OF
lis oliicers were rs new rs the regiment
itself, their good clothes and tidy APP
pearance WAS in strange contrast with
the more practical uniform OF those
who had already roughed 1t awhile in
Oregon. Among tho latter was Sheri-
dan temporarily 1t the post In CON-
naifd OF n detachment Of dismounted
Dragons and some recruits. On the
day in question no might have been
seen on top OF aslab shanty, which was
in the course of construction, helping
TO shinslo 1t. Phil wore pretty nearly
the same clothes as his men, only u pair
of infantry shoulder straps upon n cav
airy jacket distinguishing him from the
rest similarly engaged on the roof which
was to shelter the detachment during
their stay Mt Dallas. Presently a CON-
pany Of gay lieutenants came cantering

Pref. Green, who was a clas-
smatc Of zen. Grant nj West
Point, ana Who has devoted
a great deal Of attention 10 the
theory of subterraneous oceans claims
that these waters can easily be reached
by means Of driven wells. His theory
is, that beneath the crust of the earth
GREAT 81 ETEERASEAN OCEANS EXIST,
and that the rotation Of the earth up
on is axis has a tendency to bring this
water 10 the surface. In this way and
no other, Mr.. Green thinks, can the x
istenee Of the great lakes lie accounted
for. lie argues THAT the amount Of
water which flows into them by no
means eqalls the amount that flows out,
10 say nothing Of the great loss from
evaporation, etc. They are located al
most on the summit Of a watershed,
and their inlets are small and short.
Prof. Green believes that their princi-
pal supply is obtained from beneath. A
ldtter illustration Of his theory Is found
IN the case OF Chautauqua lake, which
is located on the merest lip Of land. II

Lake Eric. Yet here Is n lake of clear
cold water, twenty-five miles long and
a mile Or two broad, which sends out

water. In carrying out his theory,
Prof. Green invented the drive well.

his efforts were crowned with success.
lIcxlraustible supplies OF clear, cold
water have been obtained wherever
sought. At length tho next step, viz. /.
that Of gangs Of wells, was taken.
Prof. Green persuaded a Rhode Island
paper manufacturer TO expcnd n thous-
and or two Of dollars in putting down a
series of these wells, 10 obtain a sup
ply Of water FOR his works. For the
manufacture Of certain fine grades OF

The New AnaSthetic Process.

e. A late number OF The Medical Record
contains notice of new and curious
method Of deadening pain, which is of
striking simplicity. 1t was discovered
by DR.. Bonwill, dentist Of Philadel-
phia, in 1875. In 1876 DR.. A. Hewson
made favorable report of his eXpe-
rience with it to the International Med
ical Congress and at recent meeting
Of the Philadelphia County Medical So
ciety several papers were read on the
subject, and much discussion followed.
In using the method, the operator mere
ly requests the patient to breathe rap
idly, making about 100 respirations per
minute, ending in rapid putting expira-
tions. At the end of from two to five
minutes an entire or partial absence of
pain results for half minute or
more and during that time the teeth
NAV be drawn or incisions made. The
patient may be in any position but that
recommended is lying on the side, and
it is generally best to throw a handker-
chief over the face to prevent distrac-
ton of the patients attention. When
the rapid breathing is first begun the
patient may feel some exhilaration; fol-
lowing this comes sensation of full
ness in the head or dizziness. The face
is at first flushed and afterwards pale or
even blush, the heart beats rather
feebly and fast, but the sense Of touch
is not affected, nor is consciousness
lost. The effect is produced in females
more readily than in males and the mid
die-aged more easily than in the old;
children can scarcely be made to
breathe properly. 1t is denied that
there is any possible danger. Several
minor operations, other than frequent
dental ones, have been successfully
made by this method, and it is claimed
that in dentistry, minor surgery and OBJ
stetrics, it may supplant the common
anRstheticS. DR.. Hewson's explana-
ton is that rapid breathing diminishes
the oxygen&tion of the blood, and that
the resultant excess of carbonic acid
temporarily poisons. the nerve centres.
DR.. Bonwill gives several explanations
one being the specific effect of carbonic
acid, another the diversion of will force
produced by rapid voluntary muscular
action, and the third, the damming up
of the blood in the BRAN, due to the ex-
cessive amount of air passing into the
lungs. The Record is not satisfied with
the theories, but considers it well
proved that pain may be deadened by
the method which it commends to the
profession for exact experimental de-
termination Of its precise value.

People Of a New England Factory vii.
lage.

The cotton manufacture was begun
in the valley of the - early in the
present century, and gradually grew in
magnitude, till it had attained its pres
ent dimensions. Until within a quar-
ter of century the mill operatives
were almost exclusively Americans,
both by birth and descent. Old Gus
toms prevailed, and the community was
homogeneous The old New England
town community existed here in a SINH
lar condition to what characterized it
elsewhere. Democratic equality pre-
vailed, and society as yet was not di-
vided into classes between which the
lines were sharply drawn, Mill work.
ers were familiar with farm work, many
of them being the sons and daughters
of the neighboring farmers. Few were
entirely dependent upon work in the
factories as q means of livelihood, and
as n result there was an easy independ-
ence of manner in all dealings between
employers and employed. Under such
circumstances labor disturbances could
not occur, since each workman had
other channels open to him, and there
was no large class who by their train
ing were restricted to one kind of work.
With the incoming of foreign pop
ulation by emigration a change has by
slow degrees been taking place, so that
the existing condition of society is al
most as dissimilar to the former state
as the manners and customs in one
country are different from those in an
other. The population in these villages
is now largely of foreign birth or par
entage, the native Americans being a
very small minority. French Canadi-
ans and Irish form the bulk of the pop
ulation, and the indications seem to be
that the Canadians will in short time,
if they do not already outnumber any
other nationality. Besides these, there
is small number of English, Scotch,
and Welsh, and occasionally German.
The community formed by these het-
erogeneous elements has as yet no So
cial manners and customs that belong
to it as whole. The advent of the
strangers is so recent that the various
nationalities have not become welded
together. Each people preserves in
measure its former manners and pecul-
iarities, with some slight notifications
that climate and surroundings have
been able to produce. Little social in
tercourse takes place between the diff
ferent nationalities, though they are as
sociating more as they become ac-
quainted, and intermarriages are much
more frequent than formerly.
The Irish were the first foreigners to
come tothese villages in large numbers.
They took the place of the Americans,
who little by little sought more con-
genial employment, and were in turn
succeeded by the French, who now oc-
cupy the ground and seem destined to
prevail These successive inhuxes of
foreigners seem like peaceful invasions,
in each case the new arrivals gradually
supplanting their predecessors. Allan

Malaria in New England.

We have heretofore referred to the
increase of malarial feverS and especial
ly of the form called intermittent fever,
or fever and ague, in New England.
The State Board of Health of Massa-
chusetts has taken hold of the subject
and has already collected mass OF
facts which is astounding and confirms
to the fullest extent the rumors. The
disease, fever and ague, has been in
creasing for three or four years past in
the valley of the Connecticut River and
cases have appeared in every town on
the river from Connecticut to Vermont
In Agawam, Springfield, Holyoke and
some other towns, the number of cases
this year has been very large, and the
disease each year seems to be increas-
ing and spreading.
But malaria is not limited or con-
trolled by State lines and for q COM
plete knowledge Of the subject, even in
Massachusetts,, their State Board of
health very properly has thought it
necessary to obtain information Of the
disease as it exists in the neighboring
States. With this view, an agent of
the Massachusetts Board, a well-Skilled
physician, came to Providence yester-
day, and visited the malarial region in
Darlington and made a thorough inves-
tigation of the subject.
The result, as we learn from an in
terview with this gentleman, is astound-
ing. The disease, as verified by the
examination of cases now existing, is
genuine intermittent fever, commonly
called fever and ague. Cases now ex-
ist in all its stages, and some with the
characteristic ''ague cake, " or enlarged
spleen. Many of the cases have been
very severe. The disease has attacked
all classes of persons living within the
malarial region, and some living at
considerable distance from the origin OF
the malaria. 1t has attacked indiscrim-
inately the old, the middle-aged and
the young. 1t has attacked residents
and non-residents, new residents and
old residents.
The whole number of cases in the
malarial district during the present
season, say from the 1st of August to
the present time, has been at least 25O.
Of 1856 workmen at the brickyard, 1S5
have had the disease. OF this number
1O3 were sick at one time. At the pres
ent time there are about sixty cases ex-
isting, of which thirty to thirty-fve are
at the brickyard, and the rest are scat
tered through the malarial district.
The gentleman from Massachusetts
VINO has made this investigation thinks
that in this proportion of cases to popu-
lation, and in the severity of the dis
ease, the malaral district in Darlington
is the worst he has visited and worse
than any he has heard of in New En-
gland, almost equalling the ague dis
tricts of the South. The reason why
the disease is there this year, where it
never was before, he will not under
take to give.-Pro0idence (R. l. Jour-
nal.

the lads to follow on with heifer they
talked over the events of the past twen-
ty-fOur hours together, and they were
both very decidedly of the opinion that
they had very marrow and provident-
ial escape from committing very dis
graceful act; and they boIh agreed, after
little discussion on thatpOint, that they
would never divulge to any human be-
ing that they had ever dreamed of run
ming away.
1t was half-past nine when Philip
drove the heifer into his fathers barn
yard. After he had his supper, his
father asked him to step out to the shed
and get package that was under the
wagOn-seat. When he brought it, Mr.
Raymond opened it and took from it
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary"
and sat down and wrote on the fly leaf;
Presented to Philip c. Raymond on
his fifteenth birthday, by his father,
Peter Raymond" and then without
closing the book passed it over to Philip.
Philip could bear no more. The tears
that had come to his eyes twenty times
had been forced back, now oyerfowed
his eyelidS and ran down his cheeks
He stammered:
"You are too kind to me, father; l do
not deserve this
do not deserve it, Philip eX-
claimed Mr.. Raymond, with apparent
surprise. Il think you'd better leave
that to my judgment. | should like to
know what boy does not deserve the
kindness from his father if you don t?
If had dozen sons | could not ask
them to be more faithful and industrious
than you have been. There, there!
don't shed any tears over it-youre
tired-better get to bed as soon as you
can, so as to feel fresh in the morning.
If it's a good day tomorrow we must
secure that rowen"
THANK you, father" Philip sad,
with quivering voice, and went imme-
diately upstairs. If he had been a lit
tie less overcome himself, he would
have noticed that his fathers voice was
a little shaky; andif he had looked back
as he passed out of the door he would
have seen his father hastily brush a
tear or two from his own eyes.
Henceforth there was no lack of con-
fidence, sympathy and affection be-
tween Mr. Raymond and Philip, and,
by reason of a private interview that
Mr.. Raymond had with Clinton Dexter S
father, Clinton's life was much more
agreeable than heretofore.
Philip has always looked back to his
fifteenth birthday as a remarkable
epoch in his life; and he never ceased
until his aged father recently visited
him and heard him speak rather harsh
ly to his own little son-to marvel at
the wonderful change that came over
his father, himself, or both at that time.
Then his father told him the whole
story, and cautioned him against grow
ing into the habit of speaking in that
way to his children.
"Always remember, Philip" he said,
that crustiness and unhappiness are
no more agreeable to a child's feelings
than they are to grown persons, and
that they are more likely to lead any
one out of the right path than into it,
and that they never will forget love-"

of it in their weekly paper, the CaJitor-
MAN, on the 10Th of April:
New GOLD MINE.-It is stated that new
gold mine has been discovered on the Ameri-

the gold has been exhibited and is represent

May opened with accounts of new dis
cOveries. The Californian of May 3,
said: "Seven men, with picks and
spades, gathered 81, 600 worth in fifteen
days" That was little more than
fifteen dollars per day per man. On
the 18th of May the same paper said:
"Many persons have already left the
coast for the diggings. Considerable
excitement exists here. Merchants and
mechanics are closing doors. Lawyers
and aIcaldes are leaving their desks,
farmers are negleCtIng their crops and
whole families are forsaking their
homes" for the diggings. By May oath
gold dust had become an article Of mer-
chandise, the price being from fourteen
to sixteen dollars per ounce.
On the 29th of May the Californian
issued slip stating that its further pub
lication, for the present, would cease,
because nearly all its patrons had gone
to the mines. A month later there were
but 1--WE persons-wOmen and children
left in Yerba Buena. The first rush
was for Suffers Mil, since christened
ColOma, or Culluma, after tribe of In
diqns who lived in that region. From
there they scattered in all directions.
