An idea prevails in oflicisl circles that
the $4,000, 0Oo, 90 a month payments Of
the national de6t must soon cease. The
Treasury Department estimated the
gross amount Of the appropriation OF
the last session Of Congress at $&29,.
42S,ll7, and from the same autharity we
learn that total revenue Of $4,000,
QUO may beanticipated. This only leaves
some fifteen or sixteen millions appli.
cable to debt reduction. instead of ten
times that amount as In each Of the
past two years. 1t is not impossible,
though, that the income will be less
than stated and the income greater. but
improbable. But even at the rate of If
teen or twenty millions q year we will
beat the rate Of reduction Of any other
nation ON the globe.

nA1LY POST IEfELLlGEECER.
T.E rEyESuE MARINE SERVICE.

At the last session of Congress, bill
Vas introduced by Mr.. Grape for tn
improvement of the revenue marine,
branch of the public service which ha
attracted much attention of late, by rea
SON of it's activity and energy in varioui
directions, but more particularly IN con
nection with the Arctic search projects
Although Objectionable in some OF III
details, the main purpose OF Mr.. Crapo
bill, that of providing the revenue ma
rine service with retired list, on the
general plan Of the one established IN
the navy, is sound and just. There u
no good reason why the officers OF this
service should not be entitled TO the
benefits of such a provision az well al
their brethren of the army and navy.
The revenue marine has been organized
more than eighty years, and during the
past ten has constantly increased in
usefulness. It does not ordinarily have
the opportunity to distinguish itself in
memorable exploits, like the army and
navy, though it has shown a good record
in all our wars from the beginning OF
tho century; bat it constantly performs
many duties of great Importance, not
only TO the Government, but TO com
merce and navigation. Last year alone
its small force rescued no fewer than
hundred and forty eight shipwrecked or
distressed merchant vessels, and saved
hundred and forty-one lives. 1t visited
about thirty thousand vessels, and dis
covered and reported infractions OF the
laws on about three thousand OF them.
The officers of the revenue marine de-
serve retired list, because they have az
permanent and established a profession
in the service of the Government as the
officers of the army and navy. Though
under the control of the Treasury De-
partment, they are essentially military
body in their regular education as Ca
diets, their daily routine of duties, their
charge Of armed vessels, and their life
long positions of honor and responsible
ity. Thus that precise element exists
in their case which has warranted the
establishment of q retired list for the
army and navy, when it could not be
properly demanded for the ordinary
civil service. The advantages Of re-
tired system are twofold. First, it gives
the officer who devotes all his best years
to the service an assurance that in the
decline of life he will be literally pro-
vided for by his three-fourths retired
pay; secondly, in making retirement
compulsory at given age, it sets aside
those officers who might otherwise re-
main nominally filling the highest active
commands years after they wore physi-
cally unfit to perform tho duties, thus
retarding the advancement of the eff
cient and ambitious juniors.
The necessities for such a provision
exist today in the revenue marine.
There are many superannuated Captains
WHO ought to be on the retired list, but
no such list exists: hence they continue
TO fill the places which younger men
should occupy.

A SLIDING MOUNTAIN IN OREGON,

| The Government engineers engaged
upon the ship canal around the rapids
| where the Columbia River cuts through
the Cascade Mountains, and the engi-
neers of the Oregon Railway and Navi-
CATION Company. whose railroad runs
beside the Government canal. have dis
covered that a point of the mountains.
| of tremendous hight and three miles in
| extent, Is moving down an incline into
the river. The fact..of moving noun
tain Is strange but not incomprehsnsible.
II seems, says an intelligent oorrespon-
dent Of the New York Times, that the
great river and the ravines that point to
II have cut their way down through a
superintendent mass of basalt into a
substratum Of sandstone. This sand
stone. We will suppose, presents a
smooth surface, with an incline toward
the river; the river cuts under the basalt
into the sandstone, and the natural eff
feet Is for the superintendent basalt,
acting like similar formation Of ice in
glacier, to slide down hill.
The same gentleman says. on the an
thoriiy Of Mr.. Thielsen, Engineer in
Chief of the Western Division of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, that when
an examination was made year ago of
disused portage tramway past that
point, the track was found to be twisted
az much as seven or eight feet out of the
true line in some places, caused beyond
doubt by movement of the mountain.
II seemed certain to Mr.. Thielsen that
there was movement Of a tremendous
mountain spur opposite this piece OF
road. The correspondent goes on to
say:
1T is fact we'll known to all river
men that above the Cascades, where the
river il tranquil, the waters cover sub
merged forest, whose trunks still stand
with their projecting limbs TO attest
some wonderful phenomenon. II has
been query in the minds of all as to
what CONFUSION of nature or process of
time caused this overflow Of waters.
Over thirty years ago i saw the dead
franks standing beneath the waves, and
the interest in this connection was in
creased by learning from the Indians
that among their traditions was one that
ages since the mountains rose precipi-
tously at tho rivers side, and great
arch of stone spanned the river from
shore to shore, and that their canoes
passed under il. Tradition further says
that in course OF time great earthquake
threw down the arch and blocked up
the river, causing the cascades as we see
them now. 1t is not often that Indian
tradition is 30 specific in detail. As the
records Of the aborigines of this region
are very transient, it is possible that
this story rests on some fact of natural
history Of not very remote occurrence.
Joining tradition and speculation with
the discoveries and deductions of sci
ence, we must conclude that some con-
vulsion of nature has thrown great
masses of rock Tito the stream sufficient
to deaden its flow for eight miles above
and to submerge the forests Just above
the rapids. Mr.. Brace, who has been
engineer of the navigation company
that owned the Portage road around the
falls, informs me that he has watched
the movements of the mountain for
twenty years, and that it is no myth"

country and thoroughly established the
fact that he is peculiarly qualified to
represent such district as the 18th in

The Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station.

This Station is established in accord
ance with an Act of the General Assem-.
bly,, approved April II, 1882, "for the
benefit of the interest of Practical and
Scientific Agric ulture, and for the devel-
opment of the vast Agricultural re-
sources of the State"
The experiments and Investigations
will be carried on both in the field and
laboratory, and will deal with the fol
lowing great Agricultural interests, viz;
a. Grain Raising. (2.) Stock Farming
and Dairy Husbandry. (S) Fruit and
Vegetable Culture. a. Forestry.
The Station is prepared. to test varie-
ties; to analyze and test fertilizers and
manures; to examine seeds that are sus-
pected of being unsound or adulterated
to identify and name weeds and other
plants; to investigate, and describe
when known, the habits of injurious and
beneficial insects, and other work of a
similar character that properly comes
within its province.
1t is the desire of the Board of Con-
troll to make the Station as widely useful
as its limited appropriation will admit.
To this end We earnestly invite the CO.
operation of the people and press of the
State.
All communications on Agricultural
and Horticultural topics will be fairly
considered, and as far as possible
promptly answered. Detailed reports
of experiments carefully and conscien-
tiously made, will aid the Station in it's
work. Any citizen of Ohio, who is con-
cerned in the promotion of Agriculture,
has the right to apply to the Station for
any information it can render, and the
Station will cheerfully respond to all ap-
plications as far as lies in its power.
Samples of different varieties of corn,
wheat, oats, barley. aDd other grains; the
seeds of fruit and furest trees; vegeta-
bles and flowers, that are true to name !;
specimens OF grasses, weeds, and other
plants that may be of interest; sections
of different varieties of wood; specimens
of injurious and beneficial insects; these,
and other articles and materials illus
trative of any department of Agricnl-
ture will be gladly received.
Address all communications to
