An astonishing number of disputed
questions in geography are awaiting
settlement. and discovery seems to in
crease rather than diminish large
number of facts coming to light every
year. Among unsettled and disputed
questions is the source OF the Ira
waddy, or rather whether it or tho
Brahmapootra receives the waters OF the
Sanpo.
In a number Of the proceedings OF the
Royal Geographical Society is an elab.
crate argument by Mr.. Robert Gordon
in favor of the lrrawaddy view. He
gives two important points Of fact, as
we'll as several arguments from &C
cepted data. One fact is that the sal-
ween is now known to drain the coun-
try formerly supposed to furnish
waddy. Another fact is that the
Chinese g~eographers, for l 200 years back
make the Sanpo the same stream as the
Irrawaddy, and French missionaries
ard official Chinese maps confirm the
statement. Strong as this argument
seems to be, there are geographers who
still re ect it.
Another disputed question is the size
of Lake Mistassini in northeastern
Canada. Estimates vary from a body
of water as large as Lake Superior
down to a sheet Of water 120 miles long
and 90 miles wide. These are samples
of large Questions in dispute. There
are a large number Of smaller ones. 1t
would seem that geography should be
the simplest Of sciences, and that at this
day maps should change only in politi-
cal features; but in fact half the area
of the globe is subject to geographical
revision by the studious traveller. We
have but scratched the surface Of the
earth, and do not yet know that much

A very violent attack Of Japomania
has seized upon San Francisco. For
years past the city's institutions have
included a Japan line of steamers, a
Japanese Development company, and q
Japanese Gospel society, to which,
though of later growth, may be added a
Japanese bazaar. After holding every
thing from a ghost show to a furniture
store, the old st. Ignatius' church has
just been opened as a living panorama
of Japan, where all the characteristic
arts and manufactures Of that country
are to be seen in progress.
Satsuma and Cloisonne ware are here
made before your eyes; handkerchiefs
are woven and embroidered for you in
an afternoon; japanese lacquerware
and Japanese bronzes grow into form
while the visitor is looking on; there is
Il Japanese tea-house, with Japanese at
tendants, and Japanese babies crawling
around the floor and nursed by Japanese
mothers. Nor is this all, for by the
last Japan steamer there came over q
company OF Japanese coniurers and
gymnasts, who as eluilibrists appar-
emily defy tho laws of nature, and who
as tricksters could have taught poor

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington announces the appointment
by The president yesterday, Of John c.
Thompson, of H~arrodsburg, KY, as sur
veyor general of Wyoming, vice John W.
Medium, resigned, and William NJ. Gar
rard, OF Lawrenceyille. Ills. To be re-
ceivcr of the land Office at Cheyenne, vice
Hurlbut, who, We suppose, is suspended,
as we have not been informed that no has
resigned. This is carrying into effect
civil service reform and the national Dem
ocratic platform with a vengeance,
If the national administration desired
to give to the Democratic party Of this
territory a death blow, no more effective
measure could have been adopted than
the above mentioned appointments. This
act has made void all the claims advanced
by the party here in behalf Of a Demo-
cratic administration; it has spread dis
gust among all the people with the admin
istration's methods in regard to this terri
tory, and has silenced the most ardent
supporters of Mr.. Cleveland and his con-
stitutional advisers. Against the repeated
protests Of our best known and most
prominent citizens, who have placed them
selves on record in Washington ps bitterly
opposed to John c. Thompson appoint
ment, the administration has deliberately
done what it was requested not to do.
Ignored and spat upon, the Democrats Of
Wyoming stand to-day more than humili-
ated, disgraced in the eyes of the people,
and ridiculed by their opponents. Under
this load the Democracy Of Wyoming
will have to enter the coming campaign;
instead of being aided in its fight for good
government and Democratic supremacy,
its progress and success will be impeded
by the unwise action of a power that
ought to be its best friend-the national
Democratic administration. But Demo
Gratis will not despair; they have fought
their battles for the last twenty years with
out aid from Washington, and with right
and Justice on their side. and possessing
the respect and good will of the people Of
this territory, they will recover from this
blow, and made strong by sdversity, will
yet gain the victory.

influence of American journalism on the

hsmovtnx Warts by Means Of Charm.
rsEngfish Settlement, CPR) Letterl
The charms for the dispersion OF waG.-
be|3&yed in by many OF these homes
fdtfners arc numerous and most singI-
lar. For instance, II y person with
warts on his or her hands will wri.s
DOWN the number OF them on the band
OF a tramp's hat without the tramp
knowing il, he will carry the warts
away with him-that is, they will grad
ually disappear from the persons hands
and appear on those OF the tramp. By
cutting a notch on n green elder stick
or every a n person may have. rub
hing the stick on every wart, and then
hurying it in the barn yard until II rOts.
the warts may be cured. Warts may
also be removed by taking a black snail,
rubbing it on all warts at night, and
impaling the snail on a thorn hush,
repeating the process nine successive
nights, by which time the warts aud
the snail will both be shriyeled up.
Another way to get rid OF warts is for
the person to sec n funeral pass unex-
pectedly, wherever he may he. and as it
passes rub his warts quickly and repeat
the words, Warts and corpse pass
away and never more return. Green
peas may also be used to advantage in
taking oil warts. Let the afflicted per-
son take rs many peas as he has warts
and touch each wart with n different
He must then wrap each pea in a
separate piece of paper and bury them
secretly in the shade of an ash tree or
under a hazel bush. If peas are not in
season and the person with warts does
not care to try the o .ieacy Of any OF tho
about named charms, let him select as
many pebbles as he has warts. Sewing
them up in a small bag, he must take
them TO where four roads cross and
throw tho bag over his left shoulder.
This charm will never DO resorted TO,
however, by persons who have no
righteousness in their hearts, for if, by
chance, any other person should find
the bag and open it the warts will APP
