ICE FOR TEETHING CHILDREN.

The New York Sun has the following
bit Of good news for worried mothers and
tortured babes:
TIE pain of teething may be almost
done away, and the health of the child
benefited, by giving it fine splinters Of
ice, picked off with pin, to melt in its
mouth. The fragment is so small that it
is bat drop of warm water before it can
be swallowed, and the child has all the
coohess for its faverish gums without
the slightest injury. The avidity with
which the little things taste the cooling
morsel; the instant quiet which succeeds
hours Of fretfulness, and the sleep which
follows the relief are the best witnesses
to this magic remedy. Ice may be fed
to three months child this way, each
splinter being no larger than common
pin, for five or ten minutes, the result
being that it has swallowed in that time
a teaspoonful of warm water, which, so
far from being a harm, is good for il,
and the process may be repeated hourly
as often as the fretting fits from teething
begin.

GROWTH OF THE EARTH.

The millions of aerolites descending
upon the earth as an everlasting shower
over all its surface prove that the earth
is growing; the gradual rise of its oceans
prove the fact, and the great truth is also
demonstrated by the bottoms of all these
oceans, according to their various depths,
constantly getting filed up by primary
formations. In short, the universal law
OF terrestrial growth is demonstrat, / by
every shell upon the shore, which, by It's
formation, is just that much permanently
added to the bulk. But sinking into the
bowels of the earth as deep IS man can
reach proves the growth of the earth far
more strongly than allthe facts and words
which are available on the momentous
question; for no matter how far down.
every inch of the descent was once the
surface, however low it may now be out
OF sight, by the accumulation of creative
Increase over it since the time. Thus, so
far as we have been enabled to penetrate,
and the rule holds good over every part
of its surface, we find the strata, however
deep we may descend, all lying, as to
time, in the order of their formation.
They can not be otherwise, as no convul-
sions of nature could reverse the position
of one stratum by superimposing it upon
anJ5her. IF we sink down through the
strata to the depeh of, say, thousand
yards, we pass through the works Of sew
eral geological epochs, the first one that
on which the drift of the deluge rests,
the latest formation, the next-if in the
sinking there is no missing ink--a step
in time earlier, and so on in succession,
until we reach the lowest stratum at the
depth mentioned, the Oldest one in the
series. There it is just where it was de-
posted, then on the surface Of the earth,
pc haps more than 100000 years ago,
while all the others have been in latter
times superimposed in their respective
geological epoohs, up to the surface.
There is another such epochal formation
going on and getting thicker under all
oceans since the present continental feat
ures of the globe arose, which will yet be
dry land, and will be the latest formation
for the geoIogists Of the remote future.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The fact that the Monroe doctrine" !"
as originally enunciated, was peaceful
and not warlike declaration is fully es-
tablished in Benton's 'Thirty Years
View" In chapter XIV. of that work,
on the subject of "Ihe Panama Mission"
an exploded and forgotten sensation of
John Quincy Adams administration.
Mr.. Benton incidentally alludes to ''the
Monroe doctrine, " and explains il, giving
| also an extract from a message to con-
gress by President Adams, who had been
secretary of state to Monroe, and knew
all about the inception of the original
declaration. Adams message, quoted by
Benton, related to the project for an in
ternational congress of all the American
states at Panama, and favored the ap-
pointment of delegates, or mission, to
attend it. One subdivision of the mes
sage, Mr.. Benton says, proposed an agree
ment that the Monroe doctrine should be
adopted by the international congress to
meet as stated, "each state to guard by
| its own means, its own territory from
future European colonization" Mr..
| Benton proceeds: ''The enunciation of
this doctrine, SO different from what it
has of late been supposed to be, as bind
ing the United States to guard all the
territory of the New World from Euro
pean colonization, makes it proper to
| give this passage from Mr.. Adams mess
age in his own words. They are these:
'An agreement between all the parties
represented at the meeting, that each
will guard, by its own means, against the
establishment of any future European
colony within its borders, may be found
advisable. This was, more than two
years since, announced by my predecess-
or to the world, as principle resulting
from the emancipation of both the Am
erican continents. It may be SO devel-
oped to the new southern nations, that
they may feel it as an essential append
age to their independence. These were
the words of Mr.. Adams, who had been
a member of Mr.. Monroe's cabinet, and
filling the department from which the
doctrine would emanate; written at a
time when the enunciation of it was still
fresh, and when he himself. il a com
munication to the American senate, was
laying it down for the adoption of all the
American nations IN a general congress
of their deputies. The circumstances of
the communication render it incredible
that Mr.. Adams could be deceived in his
undertaking; and, according to him, this
Monroe doctrine (according to which
it has been of late believed that the Z. S.
were to stand guard over the two Ameri-
cas-, and repulse all intrusive colonists
from their Shores was entirely confined
to our own borders; that it was only pro-
posed to get the other states Of the New
World to agree that, each for itself, and
by its own means, should guard its own
territories; and, consequently, that the
United States, so far from extending
gratuitous protection to the territories of
other states, would neither give, nor
receive, aid in any such enterprise, but
that each should use its own means.
within its own borders, for its own ex-
emption from European colonial intru-

4 CURIOUS PIECE OF Horse FLESH
A correspondent at Marion, Ohio, relates
the following: A curious piece of horse
flesh was brought to town recently by a
farmer named Synder, living in the south
part of this county. Theanimal is desti-
tute of hair, except the tail, which is
unusually black and luxurant. Last
winter the oritter was afflicted with an
eraptive disease, known among country
farriers as 'tyaller water" but among
more scientific veterinary surgeons as
humid exanthema. This maIady caused
the complete destruction of the hair
bulbs, and the animal began rapidly to
shed, leaving the body as stated above.
The skin is remarkably smooth, glossy,
and of leaden color. The horse was
originally a roam. He is sixteen hands
high, in good condition, and works reg
ulary Oh his owners farm. Snyder be-
came disgusted with the appearance of
the quadruped and brought him here to
dispose of him. Early i'll the day he
would have taken $50, but before night
he returned to his home refusing $500.

THAT PARTICULAR NIGHT,

Recently, man charged with stealing
chickens was arraigned before an Arkan-
sas Circuit Court. The proof against
him was pretty strong, and when the
Prosecuting Attorney arose he showed
exactly how the defendent lifted the
chickens from the roost. He described
the surroundings and the excited haste
Of the prisoner, until the charged man
arose and said:
"Jedge, 1 reckon you'll let me say a
few words. " No objection was express
ed, and the man continued: "Jest sign
me down guilty.
"Do you plead guilty."

is determined that did steal the chick

"The question is, did you steal the
chickens?"
''No, Jedge, was at prar-meetin' on

than make the young feller feel bad I'll
let him have his way"
"You say you We're at prayer-meeting
on that night?'

"Why, on the night I stole the chick

Ten minutes after his declaration he
was sentenced to the penitentiary for two
