The White Mountains,

The Indians, it is known, inhabited
these mountains long before the settle
ment OF any portion Of New England y
whites. But their villages were CHI iy
situated upon the skirts, where 70
hunting and fishing were good, and t .
ground favorable to their primitive m 10
of cultivating it. His infallible eye r
the best sites is sufficiently evidthr,
since We find the Indians uncouth wig
wan invariably succeeded by the most
important settlements OF the English.
Otherwise, the mountains were for
the American Indian, as for the natural
man in all ages, sealed book. He re-
garded them not only as an image, but
as the actual dwellirg-place of Omnipo-
tenco.. His dreaded Manitou, whose
voice was the thunder, whose anger the
lightning, and on whose face no mortal
could look and live, was the counterpart
OF the terrible Thor, the Icelandic god,
throned in palace Of ice, among frozen
and inaccessible peaks. So lar, then,
as he WIS concerned, the mountain re-
malned inviolate, inviolable, us n kind
Of hell filled with the despairing shrieks
of those who, in an evil h, ur, trans
gressed the limits sacred to immortals.
Tie first mention l have met with Of
the Indian name for these mountains is
in the narrative Of Capt. John Gy les,
printed III Boston i'll 1916, saying that
tho White Hills, called the Teddon
Kntahdin], ut the head of Penobscot
aver. arr. ny the Indians, sal to he
M Ich higher than those called Agiocko-
chook, above Saco." The probable zig.
niication of this Indian word is, accord.
Ing to the best living authority, "the
mountains un that side" or "over yun-
,lrr," to distinguish them from the
mountains ut the PenobscOt.
1t is not precisely known when or how
Ia 40 granite peaks first took the name
OF White mountains. We tind them SO
designated i'll 1872 by Joatelyn, who
himself performed the feat of ascending
the highest summit, IF which brief
record i, found in his New England's
Rlritics." One cannot help saying of
this book that either the author was
Ii of the first magnitude, or else We
inv regret the degeneracy Of nature,
exu INST, Il hy her long travail for this
writer gravoly tells us of frogs that were
a. big as child year old, and of poi.
sonous srrpents which the Indians
caught with their bare hands, and ate
alive with great gus;o. These arc rari-
ties indeed
The name is traced, NOT, as in tho case OF
Mont b auc, to the fact that their peaks
Hro covered with perpetual SHOWS, for
this is true of only half the year, but
from the circumstance that tho bare
granite Of which The highest are com.
posed transmits white light when OBJ

0ne.Man Power.

The London World il of the opinion
that Mr.. Gladstone is not merely the first
man in the country - he is the only man.
1t is now quite clear that so l. ig as he
lives aud takes an active part in political
life no other government except one of
which he is the head is possible. Dur.
ing Lord Beaconfield's lifetime there
were two men in England; Lord Dea-
consdeld has passed away and now there
is only one. The vehemence with which
Mr.. Gladstone is denounced Il ia London
is only tribute to his surprising pow
er He is hated because he is feared: he
is feared because it is dimly known that
the democracy q ID. indeed, all the
forces OF English public opinion are on
his side. Mr.. Gladstone's authority has
been put this session to test which it is
very doubtful whether that OF any other
Englishman OF this generation could have
endured. There was never time when
the working classes Of this country were
so strongly in favor OF a policy Of non-in-
tervention in foreign affairs rs now. Ev-
cry step which the government have
taken in Egypt has been regarded with
dislike and distrust Even now the dem
ocracy has only acquiesced in the Egyp-
tian policy OF the government; it has not
approved it. The working man who has
been asked what he thought about the
bombardment of Alexandria forts and
the dispatch of Sir Garnet Wolseley has
shaken his head and has signified lugu-
brious belief that he supposed it was in
evitable, since Mr.. Gladstone had set
this policy on foot, Neither the country
nor the House of Commons has as yet
seen the last of the results of the per-
sonal ascendancy Of the prime minister
Unless anv unforeseen circumstances oc-
cur he will induce the House OF Commons
to accept the clOtWe in November or
December next 1t is probable that we
shall witness before then popular agita-
tion in its favor. The country is sick of
Ireland and is determined to have no
more sessions wasted by Irish members.
If obstruction is to be put down proce-
dure must he reformed The govern
ment have plainly told the country so
and the country is resolved that the
change shall be made.

A Mystery at Turner.

Turner has a mystery Last Monday night,
a Canadian discovered a box in the Twenty
mile river, a short distance above Keen's mills.
A displeasing odor proceeded from it. Holes
were bored in the sides of the box. The box
was about five feet long and resembled coffin
in shape. 1t was opened and found to contain
the bloated, corpse of woman. When
Mills, the box had disappeared. The solution
of the mystery seems to be that the corpse was
the property Of medical student who desired
to remove the flesh by soaking process, and
then mount the skeleton. He spirited away
the box as soon as the stir was made People
at Keen's Mills who use the water for culinary
purposes are indignant.
