The following is from one of Shia-
wassee county teachers, written to
friends in this county:
DENVER, COL, Aug. ao, 1883.
l have been here over three weeks
and find the air very beneficial.
There are so many invalids here that
some one has called it hospital.
Teachers are more plenty here
than at home they hear of the high
salariese paid, and come from all
parts of the country. A common
teacher here in the city gets from sos
to SIS per month. Board is from
saS to Sss per month. 1t costs
more to live here than in Michigan,
SO that takes off the profits.
l attended the examination OF
teachers in east Denver one morning
though l did not try with the rest for
place in the schools. About sixty
five or seventy teachers were trying
for five or six vacancies. The ques-
tions that l saw were no more diff
cult than at home. They were ex-
amined in English literature and
Algebra. Questions were written up
on the board and soon erased, the
time for examination was limited.
There are several small towna
around Denver where they have good
schools, but the country schools are
not very desirable. The county ex.
animation was on the 18TH of Aug.
The air of Denver is very dry and
pure. l think it fine city. 1t has
many fine residences and public
buildings, and plenty of shade trees
whose roots are watered by little
streams that flow down both sides of
street. 1t rains more here this sum-
mer, they say, than ever before, yet
the grass looks dry and parched.
There are many fine lawns however,
which they keep well watered; this
l understand is very costly. The
cactus that grows wild here is exactly
like the house plants in Michigan.
The nearest mountains are { miles
away, others farther. Away among
the peaks in sight are Pixies, Longs
and Grey's. FRANK M. LYONS.

Theory Of Artesian Wells.

Il. NJ. Coan, in Harper's Weekly,
in an article on water supply says:
Wells are OF two kinds-surface wells
and artesian wells-and there is an
essential difference between them.
A surface we'll, however deep, is one
which gathers the waters from the
soil adjacent to it. An artesian well
Is one which pierces through imper-
vious strata into bearing rocks
below it, and consequently yields a
supply of water which has perlocated
for great distances underground, as
from the SUBMITS of distant ranges.
The water of artesian wells is gem
orally abundant and exceedingly pure
as regards any surface pollution.
Some of the best water in London is
supplied by artesian wells, which are
sunk through impervious clay stra-
tum, and gather the pure filtered wa
ters OF the chalk stratum below, and
which have fallen in rains upon the
Malvern chalk hills which surround
the London basin.
The rainfall upon pervious strata
passes off into streams and rivers.
pNA 1lii haNibE DGl "
lated through loose formation, as
chalk, reaches a deeper layer, which
Is imperyious, as clay, then it aceu-
mulates IN subterranean reservoirs,
escaping at the lowest points as dis
tant springs, but only accessible from
above by the deep boring OF the ar
tesian well. This is in general the
source OF the purest water that can be
obtained for use.
The theory of an artesan well may
be illustrated by taking wash basin
and laying down a half inch OF sand
over the sides and bottom; on the top
of the sand lay tight clay and press 1t
down, until no water can escape
through il. II water is now turned
into the stratum OF sand until it rises
near the top, it will stand at a press
ufe all over the basin, equal TO its
height above. II we perforate the
clay the water will rise to a level with
that OH the surrounding surface, In
looking for artesian water it must not
be expected until an impervious
stratum has been penetrated, and not
then unless water is known to pass
into porous stratum on the higher
rim OF the basin in which yon are
boring.

UP IN A BALLOON.
A Child Suspended I'm Mid-Air and
Rescued by "a Rifle shot.

The Greensboro q. c. Patriot pub
fishes the following account of The
miraculous escape OF child who was
carried skyward by IA bunch OF toy
balloons:
"Mrs. Robert Elliott, of Texas. has
been here for the past ten days or
more, To restore the health of her
child, little girl less than three years
old, who is much emaciated from a
spell Of Texas fever. This morning
about 10 o'clock n strolling Italian
made his appearance in front of the
hotel with large cluster of those red
bladder-like toy balloons. Major
Hawkins, OF Alabama, To amuse the
child, who he at the time had in his
arms, tied the cord arond her waist
and then, as is SO often done TO amuse
children, gave her toss OF five or six
feet into the air and held out his
hands for her return. "Great Godi
she is gone,p cried the Major, as he
saw her rapidly going up, until she
passed the house tops. Floating in the
clouds, with outstretched hands, the
child could be heard distinctly calling
her mother until her voice became
drowned by the whistling of the wind.
Mr.. Charles Voorhees,, with party
OF gentlemen, was out taking sail.
He is one OF the most expert riilemen
in the country, and as luck had it
had his rifle with him. He at once
took in the situation. His only hope
was to puncture with bullets suli-
cient number OF the balloons to let
the child down. He raised his rifle
and fired again and again, but no
change of position. AT the fifth shot
one balloon disappeared, and at the
eighth shot they began to descend,
landing the child on bank OF sand,
safe and sound, SIX miles from the
place of ascent. Thus ended day OF
the most intense excitement that the
oldest inhabitants of this old North
Carolina resort ever dreamed of"

TO the Editor the Indianapolis Journal
find the following in the Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal
1.-The country is not only supplied with
necessary manufactured articles, but there is
an immense overproduct, which engenders
reduced wages, shutting down of mills and
strikes. The protective system gives us no
foreign outlet for the overproduct, and con-
sequently the workmen have to suffer"
Now, what 1 would like to know is, does a
protective system give us no foreign outlet
for overproduct and why? It seems to me
that if we compete with foreign products, we
must do it at the sacrifice of some expense of
production of the product, and what ex-
labor? viii this free trade TO
give US a foreign outlet reduce
the cost of raw material, and why?
Why can't we export goods under a pro-
tective tariff as well as under free trade.
may be dull of comprehension, but l am a
sincere seeker, and admit can't understand
this cure-all doctrine of free trade and why
it will permit OF reduction of the selling
price without similar reduction in the
price of production. Will you try and make
plain. SEEKER.

THE TROPIC.
Statement from the Owners Concerning Her
Part in Carrying Arms to the
Hayti Rebels.

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-Mr. Merritt, of
Warner Il Merritt, owners of the steamer
Tropic, stated that he questioned one of the
clerks of the firm who had charge of the
bills of lading and he had told him that
man calling himself r. Valdoster had called
or MIN on the 18th of March and asked per-
mission to ship some packages of furniture
by the Tropic. Rogers, the clerk, gave him
permission, but said the goods must be sent
to the store, whence they would be for
warded to the ship without loss of time,
as the vessel was to sail the
next day. The stranger requested that
the goods might be consigned to the agent
OF Warner Il Merritt, at Saint Altonia, ia
maica, and said he was going out in another
steamer. The boxes arrived in good season,
and were sent on board. Meantime, how
ever, the vessel had cleared III ballast and
Captain Rand, on receipt of this addition to
his cargo, left word that due notice of the
fact should be given at the custom-house.
There was nothing unusual in this. Of Val
doster nothing more has been heard and
Merritt expressed the opinion that he must
have been acting as agent of the Haytian in
surgents, warned beforehand that the Tropic
would bring out something for them. Cap
tain Rand's statement is that men boarded
his vessel at Inaqua, virtually took possession
OF the vessel, and made him land them at

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-Five hundred

League Convention have arrived, and the
headquarters of the executive council were

says there is not the slightest indication of
disturbance at the convention. He and his
friends have carefully canvassed the situa-
ton. O'Donovan Rosa will attend as a re-
porter for his paper.
Ex-Treasurer Patrick Egan says the dyna-
mite party will have very little following in
the convention. Referring to the movement
in the mother country, Egan said: 1T de-
ponds in large measure on the support of
the Irish element in America No doubt so
long as the present disatfection is kept alive
by the support of two millions of Irish
Americans in America, all the ingenuity of
OF the English government is and will be
taxed to devise measures to cope with it.
The spirit extant in America and Ireland
will be correspondingly hopeful of ultimate
success"
