SOME OF the most eminent scientific
men now accept the view taken by Adj
hemar, namely, that continents have not
been depressed, but overfowed by the
ocean. Owing to the procession of the
eqliinoxes, the mass of water is trans
ferred from one hemisphere to the other
once in 10, 800 years, and the sun re-
mains eight days longer in one hemis-
phere than in the other. At the present
time the winters of the Southern pole
are eight days longer than with us the
ice continent has consequently formed
there, and the mass of the ocean is to
be found III the Southern hemisphere
and the ice covers space upon and
around the South pole more than twice
the area of all Europe. The extreme OF
cold at the Antarctic pole was reached
about 600 years ago, since which time
the climate has been becoming milder,
while that north of the equator has been
growing colder.

THE tale that Gambetta, when child,
voluntarily put out his right eye in or
der to be removed from seminary which
he abhorred, is pronounced an absurd
fiction. The real facts are that, one day,
when only years old, while looking at
a cutler boring holes in the handle of a
knife with drill fastened to an old
broken foil by piece of cat-gut, this
rude machine gave way by reason of too
great tension, and the broken foil struck
the right eye of the child with great
force, perforating the cornea. This ter
rible accident causing him to be one
different from his kind, he was petted,
pampered aud spoiled by his parents,
his every within and fancy INDUCED, and
every caprice of his ardent aud violent
character allowed free play.

THE annual report of the appointment
division of the Postoffice Department
for the last fiscal year shows that the
number of postofiices i'll operation in the
United States on the 3Oth of June last
was AZ, $50, an increase of 2,134 during
the year, One thousand seven hundred
and sixty-one of the Postmasters are APP
pointees of the President. The remain
ing Al, 22S offices are filed by the APP
pointments of the Postmaster General.
Beside the nearly $4,000 Postmasters
there are II. 400 persons throughout the
countrywide perform service and receive
compensation upon the written authori-
cation of the Postmaster General or his
chief assistants, comprising 40 III the
Postoflice Department at Washington,
500 clerks in postofices OF the first
and second classes, 2,6SS, letter-carriers,
So special agents, 2,9A6 employees of the
railway mail service and 1862 mail con-
tractors. In addition to the postotfice
clerks, above reckoned, for whose en-
ployment allowances are made to Presi.
Dental Postmassers of the first and Sec
ond grades, it is estimated at the de-
partment that there are at least 80, O0C
persons acting as clerks i'll the third and
fourth-class postoffices who look for Their
employment and compensation directly
to the local authority, and it is be-
lieved, therefore, that there are now not
less than 10000 persons directly con.
nected with our postal service.

FATHERS and sons are not usually as
intimate as mothers and daughters are.
Each seems to go his own way, regard
less OF the tastes of the other. If the
son starts for u walk in one direction,
the father starts in another. 1t is the
mother who goes with her son to the
theater; il is the daughter who goes
with the father. Yet when father and
son are good fellows together-hunting
sailing, walking, smoking and gossiping
without the company Of a third party
a sight of them is a very cheering one.
A father was asked what were his sons
opinions in politics, and he replied
Charley's? How should L know? j
never got acquainted with him."

using this material is that it gives great

CoNcRRsIsa President-elect Garfield's
love of baseball the Washington Star
remarks: g Baseball players and lovers
of the sport ought to organize unto
themselves private boom on account
of Gen. Garfield's election. He Is one OF
them. He never misses game when one
is within reach. During that part OF the
session of Congress when the base-baller
is base-balling, Gen. Garfield never
failed to put in an appearance at the
National grounds. He is generally
there some time before the game is
called. When the duties of IN afternoon
session necessitate his presence in the
House he is sometimes late on the
groun Dis, but never fails to be in at the
finish. Few people take the interest in
the game TINT he does, or follow it as
closely. Sir Edward Thornton is
pretty sure spectator, but he stays in
the outfield in his carriage. Gen. Car
field gets right down in the front row OF
seats of the grand stand. He keeps the
score himself and watches every play as
intently as if he had thousands OF dol
lars on the game. He cheers every
neat play, and gets as excited as any
body"

value OF steel ships il the probable ac-
ton Of salt water on the material. Some
experts believe that the corroding effects
of salt on steel will be very rapid; but
this is, to a great extent, pure theory,
and may be contradicted by later exper-
iments. While the English are trying
to ascertain the relative merits Of metal
lie ships, American builders are slowly
cropping ont OF the primitive styles OF
wooden hulls, and are still one full stage
behind the artisans of the Clyde,

Badly Confused.

Nothing can be more comical than the
|. scared anxiety of q "cornered" party
who does not know which side of the
fence to get down on. A Southern pa
per tells the following:
Soon after the battle of Prairie Grove,
three Confederate officers of rank came
into our army to negotiate for an ex-
change of prisoners. Three Union Off
GERS were detailed to negotiate with them.
One day, while the commission was in
session, an old, gray-headed, gray
bearded Arkansas farmer walked III and
asked:
"Es this the Proves oAis?"
Some one attempted to explain. but
the old fellow being quite deaf, did not
understand, and said:
eyes, I'm good loyal citizen; I've
got my protection papers; I've been aud
got paid for my forage. Its all right.
"I.ook here" said Col. W, of tho
Union army, "you had better be careful
about what you say about your loyalty;
don't you see those gentlemen over
there?" pointing across the table to
where the Confederate officers sat in
their gray uniforms.
The old man took out pair of dilapi-
dated spectacles, and fixing them on his
nose, closely examined the gray uniforms
with their velvet collars and brass stars.
His hands trembled violently, and he
seemed quite frightened, but collected
himself and said to the Confederates:
"Well, gentlemen, meant no offence.
didn't know-fact is, I've allus been n
Southern man. I've jest got one son,
and he's with Marmaduke. The only
other man grown in my family that's fit
for sarvis is my darter Sallie's husband,
and he's with Rector, and"
"Hold on, old fellow, cried Col. w,
"what about your being loyal citizen?"
He looked ut the other side of the Ia
BILE. Then he readjusted his spectacles,
scanned the blue coats, took off bis hand
kerchief from about his neck, blew his
nose, leaned both hands on the table and
said:
"Well, gentlemen, this is little mixed,
but you jist 60 on and fight it out among
yourselves. / can live under any gov
eminent"

The two former States still lead Hi
nois considerably. The increase in
Pennsylvania is surprising. 1t saved
Garfield in that State. Hancock polled
$4,000 more votes i'll Pennsylvania than
Hayes did in 1876. But Garfield polled
60, 900 more than Hayes, and increased
the Republican majority from 1900 to
$1,000. Ohio leads Illinois by as many
votes absolutely as she does by inhabi-
tants of all kinds, male and female,
young and old.

The contest between the different
aspirants for Congressional honors
from this District is growing rather
warm. Jeffries, of Rapides, Elan, of
DsSoto, Cunningham of Natchitoches.
and Blanchard of Caddo, are the
leading aspirants. The Shreveport
Standard, the De Soto Democrat and
the Southron of Sabine, have de-
clared in favor of Elan. The Vindi-
Gator, of this city, and the Sabine
Index favor Cunningham, while both
of the other candidates have strong
backing. However, it is our opinion
that if the differences between the
