Cosmos Idea OF the World.
Popular Scieuce Monthly.

In the middle of the sixth century
Cosmos, who had been merchant, an
extensive traveller, and who afterward
became monk, was the writer of sew
eral geographical works, one Of which
has survived, in which he maintained
that the idea Of the earth being a
globe was contrary alike to the Scrip
lures and to common sense, sustain.
ing his views by ingenious arguments,
which, in that age, were very con
vincing. Cosmos was not an igno-
rant man; on the contrary, his ac-
count of tho countries with which be
was acquainted was accurate and val
liable, and 1t was his Typographical
knowledge which made him SO formid-
able an antagonist il. disputing the
rotundiiy Of the earth. There are"
he says, false Christians, contcmners
of the authority of Scripture, who dare
to maintain that the earth is sphere.
| combat this error, derived from the
Greeks, by citations from Holy Writ"
He then ridicules the idea that the
earth revolves in space without axis,
or anything to support it, and eharac-
terizes the belief in antipodes, or PEG.
pie living on the other side of a round
globe, as old women's tales. Having
thus disposed of the anterior belief, he
proceeds to give his own idea Of the
earth, which he says no true Christian
can doubt. 1t was that the earth was
an oblong plane, inclosed at its foul
extremities by huge walls of immense
thickness, on which the armament Oh
vault of the heavens rested; and that
rear the north pole there was higl
mountain, around which the sun, moon
and stars Turned, the intervention o
which mountain, at certain periods
caused eclipses.

A Fragrant Breath and Pearly Teeth

Are easily obtained by cleaning your teeth
daily with that justly popular dentifrice,
SOZODONT. Composed of rare antisep-
tic herbs, it imparts wilderness to the teeth,
d delicious aroma to the breath, and pre-
serves intact, from youth to old age, the
teeth. Acidity of the stomach will des-
troy the strongest teeth unless its effects
are counteracted with SOZODONT, and
this pure tooth-wash protects the dental
surfaces by removing every impurity that
adheres to them. Ask your druggist for
SOZODON1.

The Republican Convention Of Penn
sylvania has declared for Grant for
President. The Grant party is very
energetic, and are having the Repnb-
lican conventions held first in the
States that are pretty sure for the
third term movement, hoping to induce
those that are lukewarn to come out
with some vigor in favor of the PERM
cious scheme. Not until within the
past year or two have the American
people thought that any set Of politi-
clans would be SO bold as to favor the
election of any man for third term.
Washington was opposed to the prin-
ciple Of third term, and to the fol.
lowing Of his ideas we owe the pros
perity Of our Republican form Of Gov
eminent. A third term means Mon
archy in the near future, then addi-
tional expenses to sustain the Govern
mcnt, titled nobility, classifying socie
ty according to wealth, and the ulti-
mate oppression Of the poor classes.
The rich will keep the pockets of the
poor drained, and the country decline
to the deplorable condition that many
Of the European nations are in to-day
Grant has good chance Of being
nominated, and, if he succeeds, the
American people ought to have enough
patriotism left to defeat him by such
an overwhelming majority that he
will be deprived Of all his glory.

Causes OF the Exodus.

WASHINGTON, March IT, Ex-senator
Busch OF Louisiana, before the Exodus
Committee. yesterday said the efforts Of
last winter by the Democrats to pass q
changing law and the uncertainty Of
the status OF the colored people under
Democratic rule prevented many from
making the usual labor contract in Jan.
uary and February Of this year, and the
result Ia already observable In the large
number OF oolored people who have
moved from the planting districts into
the cities and towns on the banks OF the
rivers 80 az to take advantage OF oppor.
,unities for transportation for the West.
He grouped the causes OF the exodus
under Ave heads, viz: Fear on the part
Of the colored people Of class legislation
against them by the Democratic
legislators; fear OF interference
with their educational privileges;
uncertainty Of obtiiuins homes, and
security In retaining them; interior.
snc- with their religious and personal
rights nud tear OF Acknowledgement. he
thought 1t lot improbable that proteo.
ton Of b.. people in all their rights
would produce an effect upon them 1t
has produced in the case OF Irish aud
German and English immigrants that
have found homes and educational ad-
vantages and civil and political rights In
this country. He believed that ip right
and Justice the experiment should be
tried. 1t would at least stop the exodus
Of his race. As to the great change In
the political sompleIioh Of votes in some
parishes within the last few years as
shown by election returns he instanced
Ouachits parish, where In 1876 from
1900 to 1900 Republican and 400 or 600
Democratic votes were cast, while at the
last election ths leading Democratic can.
dida.e polled 1916 and the Republican
candidate only II votes. This and SINH.
lar changes, hs said, wero accomplished
by the Democratic County Returning
Boards. From Ave to sever police
Jurors were formerly elected in each
parish as Supervisors Of election. Sub.
sequsntly the Democrats passed . law
authorizing Governor Nichols TO ap.

A Lucky Fall.

Sonora (Ca,.) Independent. March IL.
The most singular manner OF being
struck with o fortune In prospecting
that we ever heard Of occurred above
Spring gulch on Sunday last. Mr..
Snow, late Of San Francisco, now pros.
pt;c,ing in this vicinity for other parties,
was out on q quartz hunt with DR.. Drake
OF San Francisco. They were returning
home, 1t being stormy, when Snow
(who was riding a horse along the trail)
was suddenly missed by his companion.
Shows horse had slipped OF the bluff,
and down he went at angle OF 40 degrees,
horse, rider and rife (Which he crippled
firmly in his hand), rolling over and
over in the snow. until he brought up
against q mass Of stone standing out Of
the snow, its top covered with moss.
He was not hurt much a. the cold, soft
cushion had saved his bones from the
hard ground beneath. Scrambling up
against the rock. he noticed that 1t was
quartz, and whore the horse bad acct.
isntally kicked of the moss something
Qlittered. His eyes plugged" out. but
be did not stop to brush them of. bis
hands were too busy elawing of the
moss. Darkness coming on he had
only time to break Of q few specimens,
which are filled with pure ore. One
small piece, exhibited in town. was tsti.
mated to be theee-quarters gold. Tons
Of Il are apparently still awaiting Its
owner. Snow says the vein 10 about 80
feet thick, and In his impulsiv- aener-
osity hs gave away several shares BOON
after his arrival. He told us that be
'.vould not look at S25.O 900 for his
interest" It Is without doubt the rich.
est mass Of quartz ever discovered in
this county, except the Divoii bonanza,
recently opened here in Sonora.

More Indian Troubles.

dian troubles In the southeast Of the
State are attracting nc little attention.
as It Is generally known that q large
area Of country in southeastern Utah is
given up almost entirely to renegade
Indians = Utes. Piutes, Navajoes and
others. 1t now appears that many
White River Utes, among whom are in
sluded several members OF the Star list,
have taken up their abode with the rem.
egads Indians and are doing all In their
power to render these bsG Indians
worse. The Indians are making their
headquarters in the vicinity OF the Nor.
mon settlement on the San'Juan river,
and the ssvages declare openly that the
Mormons are furnishing them with arms
and ammunition in confirmation OF
which the whites declare that the In
dams possess an unusual number OF the
best rifles aud all the ammunition that
can DO spared.
