A FALLING MOUNTAIN.

"There is in Bellegarde," says the
London Giobe, "a subject of excite
ment which outweighs the interest
even OF the expulsion decree and the
fate of all the Ministers that NJ jules
Ferry or any one else can collect at
the Elysee. The Rhone-that an
cient river, associated with the first
appearance of Gaul on the historic
page-is threatened with an attack
unheared of and unexpected by any
of the tlourishing towns which line
its fertile banks. The mountain upon
which is situated the fort of Ecluse is
in danger of collapsing bodily and
shifting itself sidelong into the chan
mel of the Rhone, which runs in a
sort OF ravine beneath. The smaller
fort, on that side of the hill which is
nearest the river, has subsidized. and
in its fall crushed in a tunnel through
which the railway runs for length
of $50 feet. But if the mischief
ended here there would be nothing so
much to make q fuss about. Unfor-
tunately, this is believed to be only
the premonitory symptom of much
more formidable landslip, which is to
carry away whole side of the noun
tain and plunge it into the valley
below. Already the foundations Of
the big fort are giving way, the gar
rison has fled to safer place, and
the Chief Engineer of the Paris
Lyons Mediterranean Company has
arrived on the spot, charged with
making an inspection of the place
and reporting what is likely to occur.
Should the mountain do what is now
expected of it, the river will be eff
fectually blocked and compelled to
make a new course for itself, leaving
the channel, for some distance at
least below Bellegarde, dry and
empty-a delightful prospect for the
riparian owners. who will then be
able TO squabble for the possession
of it, and of all the treasures which
may be found buried in its mud
