THE DELTA OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

An examination of the delta of the
Mississippi shows that, for n distance
of about three hundred miles of this
deposit, there are buried forests of large
trees, one over the other, with int T.
spaces of sand. Ten distinct forest
growths of this nature have been OBJ
served, which must have succeeded
one another. These trees are the bald
cypress of the Southern States. Some
have been observed over twenty five
feet in diameter, and one contained
$500 annual rings. In some instances,
too, these huge trees have grown over
the stumps of Others equally large.
From these facts biologists have as
sumed the antiquity of each forest
growth at 10000 years, or 100000 for
the whole. This estimate, however,
would not include the interval of time
which doubtless was very considera-
ble-that c!"Cscd between the ending
of one of these wonderful forests and
the beginning of another.

Attorney General, Reporter, Judge, and
Historian, he occupied the first rank. His
decisions have been cited with respect in

the author, and also a map of New Orleans,

THE MIDNIGHT sun.

The following is an interesting extract
from Du Chaillu's Gland of the Mid
night SUM-"
Vivid, indeed, is the remembrance of
my visit to Wang, and especially of the
two days preceding my departure. 1
had TO see all my friends, even across
the lake, and to eat wherever 1 made
a call. On the last evening l was per-
fectly exhausted, for j bad partaken of
thirty meals in two days, and drank
thirty four large cups of coffee, and l
had to skate many times besides. There
was no escape; had eaten with their
neighbors, and why should not do
the same thing with them? Was l not
about to go on my journey across the
Atlantic? Would it not be Il long time
before they would see me again: AS I
took leave the mothers or daughters
would hand mo pair of WOODEN stock
ings, gloves, mittens or cuffs, and say,
"Paul, we have made these for you,
keep them to remember Us by;' often
my initials or their own were e,nbrC-
idered upon them. Others would give
me Il silver ring, brooch or other little
token of friendship. Some Old imatrons
were more practical, saying, "Puui,
take this cheese and sausage.' Expos
tulation was vain; the answer was,
be hungry on the road ~
l was touched deeply by the feelings
of sorrow caused by my departure. l
could see tears in their eyes, and sad
faces spoke more than words. "Paul,"
many would say, edo not forget as;
write to us from America. You shall
be always most welcomc,' Whispering
the parting words, GOOD be with YOU
over the wide ocean," us they pressed
my hands. One of the peculiaritics of
the Norwegian farmer is that etiquette
demands that a friend when visiting
him shall ignore that the preparations
made on his arrival are on his account
The guest has no sooner seated himself
than coffee is roasted, the coftecpot put
on the fire, and food prepared. When
he sees that everything isnearly ready,
he gets upand says, "Good-byc,' upon
which he is entreated to remain, and,
after a little resistance on his part, is
led up stairs or into the next
room. The coffee cups are always
filed to Overlooking, for otherwise
it would appear StingS. Another
custom that amused mo greatly is when
milk or branvin is offered; the guest at
first refuses, saying, ado not waste il
on me-" The host insists on his drink
ing, then the guest sips, and returns
the bowl or glass, saying, "ft is too
much" Another remoustrance takes
place, and then, the third time, he

The following letter copied from the
Clarion Republican, Gazette, will ex-
plain itself:
EDITOR REPUBLICAN-GAzETTE:- -
Ny attention has been called to an
article in the Brookville Democrat, of
week before last, which goes on to
state that nay candidacy for Congress
in Jefferson county is to assist in nom-
mating for that position Gen. Harry
White. The same article goes on to
state that Republicans in Jefferson
county voting for me, 'are only bring
ing grist to Gen. Whites MILL" &c.
Justice to myself and the friends at
whose solicitation have consulted to
allow my name to be used for the
high position named, demands upon
my part most emphatic denial. 1
have no hesitation in prOnouncing the
statement most unwarrantable false
hood. Those who know me will
hardly deem such denial necessary.
To those who do not, my word should
be sufficient. / wish it distinctly un.
derstood that shall use all honorable
means to deserve the Republican nom-
ination for Congress in this district,
and should l be selected, will spare no
effort to further deserve the confidence
the people of the same may place in
me. From boyhood l have been iden-
titled personally with the interests Of
the counties Of Forest, Jefferson and
Clarion, and indirectly with the Others
composing the district. OF my ability
to represent these faithfully l leave to
those who know me to judge. My
friends certainly know we we'll enough
to know that l viii not be made a cats
paw of or stoop to anything dishopor
able for this or any other position in
their gift.
Toward the other candidates for The
position l have none but the kindes
feelings. Their claims are entitled tC

a great incentive to school work and

Committee to meet for the purpose Of
holding examinations at least once
