The Petrified Forest.

Visitors to the petrified forest near
Corizo, on the Little Colorado, begin
TO see the signs of petrefaction hours
before reaching the wonder. The road
at distance of ten miles from COrizo
enters an immense basin, the slope be-
ing nearly q semicircle, and this in
closed by high banks of shale and
white clay. The petriiied stumps,
limbs and in fact whole trees, lie about
ON all sides; the action of the waters
for hundreds of years has gradually
washed away the high hills round
about, and the trees that once covered
the high table-lands now lie in the
valley beneath. Immense trunks,
some of which will measure over five
feet in diameter, are broken and scat
tered over Il surface of 800 acres

A Monster AerOIite.

The San Francisco papers report
that a monster aerolite struck the
earth in the foothills east of Chico.
Cal, few nights ago. 1t is described
as prismatic in form, over 80 feet in
length, and about feet through. At
ter it struck it cut q gutter feet IN
depth through the hard lava rock for
a distance of 200 feet before 1t rested.
The metal somewhat resembled COP
per in color, but is so hard that
finely tempered cold-chisel will not
mark or scratch it. The story looks a
little tishy.-iSt Louis Glo6e-Democrat.

Bacteria as Food.

All kind of food. says Prof, G. F.
Chandler, contains bacteria and other
heterogeneous. Nothing is richer
in bacilli than ordinary hay, from
which they are never absent. Human
beings are never free from them They
occur in the body in life; they are
constantly found in saliva, and the
mucous membrane of the alimentary
canal exhibits myriads of them in a
state of activity. They are found up
on the surface of the skin, in the
bronchial passages, and in fact wher-
ever air, water or food are brought in
contact with the body externally or
internally. Pasteur recently read a
paper, by Duclaux, before the French
Academy of Sciences, in which he
claimed that the presence of bacteria
is indispensable to the termination of
seeds and also to the digestion of food.

A Severe Winter.

People living along the shore of
Lake Ontario, in Wayne and Oswego
counties, New York, state that this
has been the severest winter known
here since 1854. A survey OF the ice
field on the lake at Sodus Point was
made on Monday. 1t covers greater
area than, ever before known there.
There is almost solid ice for two miles
out from the shore, and for the first
time teams have been able to travel on
the ice, while Sodus Bay is almost
completely covered with ice of the av-
erage thickness of . feet All en-
frances to the harbor are frozen fast
and are covered by huge drifts of
snow. The view of the ice and snow
upon the lake and bay is one of unus-
ual grandeur, and the scene is visited
by scores of people daily.-1rerto's

On the Bench a t Eighty. Eight

Sir James Bacon, with whom the Of
flee and the designation of vice chan
cellor will pass away into the history of
our judicial system, holds gallantly on
to the bench, though, as the papers
have already reminded us, ne has en-
tered his SSth year. Perhaps the cir
cumstance that next August he will
have completed the fifteen years Of iu-
dicial service necessary to entitle him
to the retiring pension of nearly $4,000
has something to do with this determin-
alton to forswear for the present his
well-earned leisure. For, the rest,
there is no reason why he should retire
vet awhile. His voice, it is true, has
lost its distinctiyeness, but his intellect
is as vigorous as ever. His judgment
clear, complete, convincing and intelli-
gible as well to the lay as to the PROBES
sional mind.-Lomdon World.

A Massacre In China,

From information brought to San Francisco
by the steamer Oceanic it is learned that the
Shanghai Mercury says that the viceroy of the
Yunan and Kwee-Hong provinces has issued a
decree commanding the destruction of all
Roman Catholic converts. The decee also
orders all Roman Catholic converts and all
oreigners to be killed. Reports have reached
Shanghai that several Roman Catholic settle
ments have already been destroyed and several
hundred converts killed. The village of Kin
yaping, which is two days journey from Tall,
is reported to have been destroyed and four
converts and two priests killed. The only
reason which is assigned by the Chinese vice
roy for the massacre is that the Roman Catho-
lies were going to revolt against the Chinese
government

A LONG JOURNEY.
That OF American Missionaries Bound
for Interior Africa.

The United States consul at Sierra Leone,
under date of February 2lst last, informed
the state department of the arrival there of
DIR. VIM. Taylor, American bishop for Africa,
together with DR.. Somers and Mr.. Chatelaine,
on or about the I'd of January, on their way
to Liberia, where they stop for short time
before proceeding to st. Paul De Loando.
There arrived also at Sierra Leone on Febru-
airy 18th, another party of missionaries on
their way to Loando. They intend to proceed
toward the interior of Africa in the hope Of
meeting party starting from the eastern
the two youngest being fifteen months and
the others twenty hree months old. Should
they arrive at Loando they will have to make
a voyage of over 5000 miles from New York
via Liverpool. They propose going 1000 miles
at least into the interior.

A Finland Girls Ordeal.

When Finland girl wishes to leave
the country she has to go first to her
clergyman and partake of the sacra-
ment and procure a letter OF recon-
mendation from him; next, to ply
stefan, and obtain from him, after an
examination, certificate of permits
sion to remain absent a certain speci-
fed number of years. This certificate
costs her about 800. If she returns
promptly at the end of the time pre-
scribed, all is well, but if not, her
name is erased from the book in which
it has been entered, and she is consid-
cred as having violated her contract
with the government and loses her cit
izenship forever.-St. Louis Globe

An Abandoned Hulk.

Among the ships lying in Rotten
Row. in the New York Navy Yard is
the dismantled frigate Colorado. When
she was built she was considered the
finest piece of Naval architecture and
the most formidable man-Of-war afloat-
She was sent to the China Station with
a picked crew and set of officers selec-
ted, for their wealth and good breed
ing. she was the pride of the Ameri
can squadron in the China seas, and
filled the fleets of other nations there
with admiration and envy. From
Corea to Singapore she was known as
.'la belle frigate." But that was years
and years ago. Now her glory is de-
parted; she is a ruined hulk, and the
Government can't even sell her for
old timber Boston Herald.

MISS ADA SWEET.
The Fair Pension Agent Who Refuses
TO GOETHE Action Of Commissioner
Black.

Washington special: Pension Commission
er Black is a sad and lonesome man if there is
one in Washington tonight. He has been
raked over the Goals yesterday and to-day by
the secretary and president in way to eau
ton him forever against the folly of asking a
woman to resign public office. 1t is said at
the interior department that the first thing
Mr.. Lamar did Monday was to send for Mr..
Black. When he came he told him in calm
and dispassionate but terribly strong and cut
ting language, that he had done an act which
involved the whole administration in trouble.
The secretary surprised and convinced
official of the presidents making to ask
for resignation. '.Don't you understand"
the secretary is reported as saying, ''that
there are forms that must be observed even by
a pension commission er. The president of the
United States made Miss Sweet a pension
agent. 1t will require the action of the presi-
dent of the United States TO remove her. Any
proposition from you looking to her removal
should have been sent from this office, and
from here sent in the proper manner to the ex-
ecutive." The president has taken no action
whatever on Miss Sweets case. Col. Lamont
says the reference by the president of Miss
Sweets telegram to the interior department
without comment has no significance. This
action was taken by President Cleveland
III accordance VIII ujS RUE 10
refer all papers received by him relating to
changes in Office to the proper department.
A prominent civil service reformer, who is an
intimate fri, nd of the president, said to-day:
THE president is as yet in no way responsible
for anything that has been done in the matter.
He had no information as to what was con-
templated, and the time has not yet arrived
for him to take action. Nothing can be done
now without the presidents approval, and to
suppose that he viii suspend Miss Sweet and
designate her successor without reason is
- suspect him OF treason to his principles,
and breach of faith and promise of
which there is no just ground for be-
lieving him capable. If Miss Sweet is
suspended, it will be because there are good
and sufficient reasons. II there are no such
reasons she will remain undisturbed." Some
men, who thought week ago Black might be
elected to the senate from Illinois, now say. he
no longer a possibility. Stalwart republic
cans saws, however, that Back will make CAPT.
tai out of the affair. A good many democrats
who got the cold shake when they came to
Washington for offices admire man who
shows such directness in getting the republi,,
cans out that he ignores the president and
goes right at the work himself. Miss Sweet is
complimented on all sides for her shrewdness
in reporting Black to the president.

Plot to Assassinate a Governor

Plot to Assassinate a Governor.
A special from Coshocton, Ohio, says the
Democratic Standard of that place, gives pri-
vate information of plot to assassinate Gov.
Hoadly last Monday. 1t says the governor re-
ceived through the mail a small wooden box,
rom one end of which hung string. The
governors suspicion being aroused he caused
the cover of the box to be removed. A care
fully arranged internal machine, loaded with
dynamite: slugs and spikes was disclosed to
view. The string was SO adjusted that to have
pulled it the governor would have caused an
explosion and doubtless lost his life. 1t is
said the authorities are at work on the case
and for that reason the facts have not before
been made public.

The Plan of the Mormons.

The Salt Lake Tribune is authority for the
assertion that leading Mormon bishop has
declared that the priesthood has concluded
that it would be cheaper to buy statehood for
Utah than endure the annoyances the polyga-
mists are now being subjected to by the en-
forcement of the laws. Among the laity this
is now considered to be the plan of the Nor
mon campaign.

She rides, she revels on the rushing storm,
She suns her pinions on the rainbOw's rim, -
She laves in mountain pools Ter snowy limb,
As sweetly chaste as Dian, and as warm;
In summer fields she bares her blushing arm,
And sings among the reapers. By the dim
Light of autumba moons, her trcsses swim
On gales Lethean, with assuasive charm.
Into the chamber of the alchemist
She peers,-or, through some half-closed
lattice, sees
Her lover by the wanton night-wing kissed, -
Anon, she walks the dim Hesperdes,
Or, mingling with the spirits of the mist,
Dances at will along the darkling seas.

THE SPIRIT OF POETRY.
E steers the stars through Heavens azure

She steers the stars through Heavens azure
deep;
She lifts the leaden eyelids Of the morn;
On distant bills she winds the hunters horn,
And wakes the lonely shepherd from his sleep;
She scales the dizzy ledge where torrents leap,
And hangs the. bloom upon the bristling
thorn;
She sits for hours in solitude forlorn,
With downcast eyes, where hapless lovers
weep.
When Spring comes up the vale in Winters
trace
She plucks the blossom from the buds en-
brace;
She binds the golden girdle round the bee,
And lends the lily's luster TO the pea;
fight,
And tips the dewy meads with twinkling light.

the ground of excessive punishment. The
case is well known. Bradley was prosecu ted
for having opium in his possession and
sentenced by Police Judge Bickerton to six

no reason for disturbing the sentence of the
lower Court, and it wonld therefore stand.
Mr.. A. S. Hartwell asked for respite of
sentence for ten days to enable defendant to
wind up his business affairs. Justice Nc
Gully consented to grant the respite asked
for, on condition that Bradley should furnish
bail in the sum of So, 600. His sentence
would commence to run on August 9Th.
