The New York Tribune.
The Leading American Newspaper.

During the year 1882 The Tribune hopes to
employ with increasing success the work and
the methods which have won for it so large a
measure of popular approval. 1t has attained,
and means never to lose. the high standard of
success which was aimed at by its founder, the
largest circulation among the best people. So
large circulation and one so widely distributed
over the entire territory of the Nation has new
er been attained by any other newspaper in the
United States. We accept this fact as the ver-
dict of the American people upon the conduct
and character of The Tribune. The position it
occupies could never have been gained nor re-
tanned but by pre-eminent merits as GewSpa-
per, as an organ of sound opinion, and an advO-
cate of just public measures.
In short. The Tribune will, as heretofore, con-
tinue to be the medium of the best thought and
the voice of the best conscience of the time; !;
will keep abreast of the highest progress. favor
the freest discussion. hear all sides, appeal al
ways to the most enlightened intelligence end
the purest morality, and refuse peremptorily to
cater to the tastes of the vile or the preiudices
of the ignorant.
The well-known special features of The Trib-
une will be carefully maintained. Its Agricul
tural Department will remain as ii is, the fullest
and best. The household and Young Folks
Departments the literary. scientific, and relig-
ious features the standard market reports, VIII
all be kept up and extended as opportunity
may serve.

A STORY is told of Jay Gould's drop

and not finding himself in possession of
enough ready cash to pay for it-greatly,
of course, to his surprise and chagrin.
He finally attempted to find relief from
his embarrassing position by telling the
proprietor his name; but that individual
considered this ''too thin," and threaten

TERRORS OF THE SNOW SLIDE.

To those who have never witnessed a
snow slide, says the Salt Lake Tribune,
the term has no terror. while those who
have seen al avalanche in the Wasateh
shudder at the very thought Of it. The
mountains in the vicinity of the Cotton
woods are steep and bare. It is said an
Indian will not venture up Little Cotton
wood Canyon. When questioned as to
the cause of this strange fear of that
particular canyon, they shake their heads
and say ''No good" Perhaps in former
years, while hunting in the mountains, a
slide might have sent number of them
to the happy hunting grounds.
Since the discovery of mineral in that
section. the timber along the mountain
sides has been nearly all cut down. The
snow falls deeper on this range than on
any other part of the Rocky Mountains.
and the least jar at the bottom will start
the snow to moving gradually. At first
it starts gently, the whole mass gaining
strength and speed till it finally comes
down like thunderbolt, with the roar
of a thousand pieces of artillery. Trees
and houses are licked up and snapped
away as though SO much paper. I'm :
mense boulders are taken up in its course
and nothing but desolation and ruin re-
main behind. There are many causes
for snow slides. Ii a heavy fall of snow
is followed by thaw and then sudden
cold snap, the next snow will be very
restless on this smooth surface. Again,
ii a party shonld undertake to wade along
through the snow on a steep mountain
side, they leave furrow behind them
which the immen Sc pressure of the snow
above is bound to close up. The magni-
tude of the slide depends upon the mo
mentum the mass may acquire before
closing up this gap. Hence 1t is that
men who know the capricious nature of
snow in our mountain ranges are very
cautions in moving around. The explo-
sion of heavy charge of gunpowder,
hundreds of feet beneath the surface,
has been known to start the snow over
head.

Ex SENATOR CoNELINo has the repu-
tation of uttering bitterer satire that any
of our public men, but it is certainly the
fact that none of them can shape com
pliment more gracefully. Once when he
was making speech in the Senate he
repeatedly turned his eyes upon Sen
ator Thurman, and appeared to address
him. Mr.. Thurman was little nettled,
and asked:
'When the Senator from New York
turns and addresses his remarks to me
does he expect me to respond?"
"When I speak of the law, responded
Senator Conkling, "I turn to the dis
tinguished Senator from Ohio as the
Mussulman turns toward Mecca. I look
to him as would look to the common
law Of England, the worlds most copi-

The Washington Star says: "There
is heavy run on the Treasury for new
1o cent pieces. Ali the coins of that de-
nomination III the Treasury have been
once in circulation. They are not bright
and perfectly new as the people who
want them call for. The demand for the
10 cent coin at it's brilliant stage is due
alone to the bangle that some ladies wear
Oh their wrists. The average young man
wants to string a Let of bangles around
his girls wrist as sort of Christmas
gage d'amour. To that ambition alone
IS attributed the present rush for new
10-cent pieces which the Treasury cannot
supply, because il has mono on hand"

THE EARTH DRYING UP.

There is abundant evidence that the
amount OF water on the face of the earth
has been steadily diminishing for thou
sands of years. No one doubts that there
vas time when the Caspian Sea com
municated with the Black Sea, and when
the Mediterranean covered the greater
part of the Desert Of Sahara. In fact,
geologists tell us thst at one period the
WHOLE the earth was covered by water,
and the fact that continents of dry land
now exist is proof that there is less water
on our globe than there was in its infancy.
This diminution Of our supply of water
is going on at tho present day at rate
SO. rapid as to be clearly appreciable.-
The rivers and small streams Of our At
lantic states are visibly smaller than they
were twenty-five years ago. Country
brooks in which men now living, used to
hathe in their boyhood, have in many
cases totally disappeared, not through
any act of man, but solely in consequence
of the failure of the springs and rains
which once fed them. The level of the
great lakes is falling each year. There
are many piers Oh the shores of lake side
cities which vessels once approached
with ease, but which now scarcely reach
to the water. Harbors are everywhere
growing shallower. This is not due to
tie gradual deposit brought down by
rivers or refuse from city sewers. The
harbor of Toronto has grown shallower
lii spite of the fact that it has been dredg-
cd out so that the bottom rock has been
reached, and all the dredging which can
be done to the harbor of New York will
not permanently deepenit. The growing
shatlowness of the Hudson is more evi-
dent above Albany than it is in the tide
water region, and, like the outlet of Lake
Champlain, which was once navigahie by
Indian canoes at all seasons. the upper
Hudson is now almost bare of water in
many places during the summer. In all
other parts of the world there is the same
steady decrease of water in rivers and
Lkes, and the rainfall of Europe, where
scientific observations are made, is mani
testify less shan it was at period within
mans memory.
What is becoming of our water? OBJ
viously it is not disappearing through
evaporation, for in that case rains would
give back whatever water the atmosphere
might absorb. We must accept the theo-
~ that, like the water of the moon, our
water is sinking into the earth's interior.

THE JEANETTE FOUND.

New YORK, Dec. 2Q.-A cable from
London says that the Arctic exploring
ship Jeanette has been found on the
coast of Siberia with ail on board well.
The Governor of Siberia, knowing the
interest felt throughout the civilized
world regarding the safety of the ship,
and learning that number of expeditions
had been or were to be sent out in search
of the vessel, started All exploring party
on his own account. The men that com
posed the party were of the most exper-
fenced character, and expressed deter
mination to overcome all obstacles. The
Governor was moved to take this step
because he knew of the delays incident
to expeditions which are sent out under
the auspices of any government. His
men were well versed in the requirements
necessary to the work in which they were
to engage, all enthusiastically enlisted
their services. The instructions given
them were very ample, and the powers
given the men were unlimited. Knowing
that they would persist in their work
until there was no possible hope of find
ing the lost vessel, they were given per-
mission to follow the dictates of their
experience and judgment. Notwithstand-
ing the dangerous and almost insur-
mountable nature of their trip, the brave
men pushed forward until they at last,
through some of the Esquimaux, got
trace of the missing vessel. The clue
was followed until at last their eyes were
gladdened with a glimpse of the low
rakish hull of the Jeanette. Hurrying
forward over the ice and snow, in their
anxiety to reach the ship, they dropped
everything that would cucumber them.
A wild race ensued between the members
of the party, to see which should first
reach the ship. The men on board the
vessel thought that a number of crazy
natives were about to attack them, but
as they came nearer the color Of their
faces was seen, and they were warmly
welcomed. The astonishment of the
crew of the vessel was unbounded when
they were informed of the interest and
solicitude that was felt for their safety.
They were much affected by the news,
and strong men wept like weak women
when they came to think of the loved
ones at home, and to know that they
were not forgotten. The Siberian party
after giving to the Jeanette's crew the
latest news from civilized communities
OF which they were cognizant, turned
their faces homeward and fastened with
all speed TO assure their Governor of the
safety of the vessel and its crew in order
that the anxiety of the scientific world
might be relieved. Upon the return of
the party the Governor at once sent the
news by special well-mounted couriers
to the nearest point at which the tele-
graph could be reached, aud the news
was at once forwarded to st. Petersburg
and London, and thence to this point.

THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA.

A correspondent, writing OF the lean
ing tower of Pisa, says that, whether by
accident or design, no one can now tell,
the inclination of the structure makes it
look and feel to the visitor, as if it were
about to fall. 1t is 18O feet high, and is
13 feet out of the perpendicular. This
is stated everywhere and is no doubt
true. but suppose there are many per-
soas who, like myself, expect to see
building standing erect, the center of
whose top was outside of the center of
gravity. This is not the case by any
means. It is true that rope falling
from the center of the top would strike
the wall at the bottom OF the lower side,
but the rope would not fall outside the
tower wall. In q short time satisfied
myself and two other visitors of this fact.
The apparent contradiction OF the laws
of nature disappears, then, in moment.
Taking the building as a whole-letting
line fall from the center at the tow-if
this line fell outside of the base, in that
case the building would violate the laws
of gravity if it remained standing. be-
lieve the architect planned this optical
delusion. There are no signs of any Civ
ing way In the structure. No crack or
crevics gives evidence of rapid or slow
settling of the walls. The architect knew
very well how easily the eye can be de-
ceived. The frmness of the masonry,
the gradual ascent, the symmetry of the
whole, prove beyond doubt that it was
built as it now stands. The walls below
are very thick, and unless these should
give way there is but one other method
by which the building could be over
thrown. If the stones were to slip from
their places, then little by little it would
be dislodged. But the whole structure
is keyed and bolted and cemented into
solid mass. If it leaned nine feet more
than it does, then it would fall, because
the sum of its weight would fall outside
of the center of gravity. The mystery
disappears at once when we examine it:
but the curious effect upon ones nerves
In making the ascent and standing on the
top is nevertheless real.
