A Rocky Mountain Glacier.

To Prof Candy, member of Pun
pelly's Northern TranscOntinental Sur
vey party, we are indebted for the fol-
lowing account of the discovery of a
glacier by the party, and description
of the country around the Upper Marlas
Pass. between the headwaters of the
Flathead River, west of the Rocky
Mountain range, and Cut Bank Creek,
east of the same. The locality is about
one hundred and fifty miles north of
MiSsOula.
Prof. Candy SAYS that on the 1st of
August the party, after having left the
Upper Flathcad River (abOut eighty
miles above the lake,, entered the
gorge that leads up the mountain to the
Pass This is walled in by steep mount
aims, which are crowned by rugged
precpices thousands of feet in height,
sometimes terminating in knife-like
edges, and sometimes running up in
to sharp, rugged cones, which make
the sky lines Of the mountains most va
ried and picturesque.
At the summit of the Pass three main
amphitheaters come together. They are
nearly horseshoe in shape. From the
Pass there are in full view ten or twelve
high peaks, often running up into regu-
lar, sharp rocky cones.
Some ten or fifteen miles away, look
ing to the westward, a great mass of
snOw-covered mountains were in view,
and below these SUBMITS was seen q
true glacier, having a frontage of at
least a mile, and in some places a face
estimated at 800 feet in height. From
underneath this glacier flows stream
of milky-colored glacier water.
Prof Pumpelly, with the Indian
guide, penetrated the amphitheater in
which this glacier lies, and counted
twenty-five cascades over five hundred
feet in height, besides seeing many
smaller ones. The sides of the mount
aims which surround this amphitheater
are covered with deep bodies of snow,
which are the sources of the many
streams flowing into the valleys below.
There was but little snow on the Pass,
and with care it was not difficult to
cross. In descending the eastern side
of the mountains the gorge presents
some remarkably lofty and stupendous
precipices. Those gentlemen of the
party who had visited the Yosemite Val
lev considered the scenery of Marias
Pass to be of more varied character
and grander in every respect.
The summit of the Pass was found to
be seven thousand eight hundred feet
above the sea level. We shall wait with
much interest for more thorough and
complete survey of this new and won
derful mountain district of Montana. =

Temperance Items.

BEER AND SUICIDE.-It is said that
more beer is drank per capita in Mil
waukee than in any other city, and tina.
the suicide rate there is double that of
any other city.

makes known the sort of whisky used
in that place when it reports the follow
ing: Three barkeepers were poisoned
on the hands in handling ice and lemon
in making mixed drinks.
The CAUSE IN CHINA.-But a few
years ago there was no Temperance
organization in China. Now a Tenn

A Central African Village.

One fine large village, Il long days
march beyond the lnkiss, gives a good
idea of Central African life. There is a
general aspect of prosperity, and the
people are unusually sportive and merry
among themselves. Children, pretty
little black children, were playing to-
gether and making mud pies; one
Africanette, looking on, carried Il baby
as bio as herself. A hen and chickens,
with that steadfast obstinacy which is so
characteristic of fowls, would insist on
retiring for the night in the house
which had been assigned me as my
lodging; so two capable little boys
caught the ten chickens tcnderly and
conveyed them to a place of safety, the
old hen, pcrforce, clucking and protest
ing behind. An immense quantity of
pumpkins, with the ripe fruit and the
great yellow blossom growing on the
same plant, and the waving fields oi
manioc which saw in the bright morn
ing light, lent an air of prosperity and
plenty to the tidy groups of houses. In
this village, in front of many of the
habitations, lay huge logs of wood,
roughly trimmed trec-trunks. At one
end they exhibited but little handling
from the operator, but at the other they
terminated in a rudely carved and
painted head, executed with little
finish indeed, yet the few strokes
that wrought the semblance to
humanity had been given with a
certain decision and skill. There was,
in fact, a good deal of character and
expression in this sketched-out face,
which, besides, bore much resemblance
to the prevailing type of man in that
neighborhood. Whether these logs, of
which many were lying prone before
the cottage doors, were households in
disgrace, or merely ornamental settles,

The New Court of Appeals.

At 10 o'clock on Friday the new Court of
Appeals was organized in Richmond, by the
election of Judge Lewis as president. The
five judges Lewis. Lacy, Fauntleroy Rich
ardson and Hinton, handed to the clerk their
commissions and certificates of qualification,
with the desire that the same be entered of
record.
Counsel for Judge Burks objected to record
ing the qualification of Judge Hinton, on the
ground that the seat on the bench heretofore
occupied by Judge Burks was still his by
right, he having been elected for a full term
instead of to fill vacancy
Judge Hinton stated that irasmuch as
question concerning his seat had been raised
that he would retire, pending the consideration
of the case.
After examining the paper submitted by
Judge Burks' counsel Attorney General Blair
in behalf of Judge Hinton, said that they did
dot recognize any contest and proceeded to
state his grounds.
The court then determined to go on with
no other business until the contest was set
tied.
At the assembling of the court on Saturday,
counsel for Judge Burks asked that the case
be tried before a special court of circuit
cult judges, and arguments pro and con were
heard. The court declined to grant the request
of Judge Burks counsel, and the case was con-
tinued until Monday. Argument has pro-
crossed, and decision is looked for to-day.
