THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Rev. DR.. William +. Warren, President
of the Boston University, in volume en-
titled " Paradise Found" adds another to
the many books that have been written
upon the geographical locality of the Gar
den of Eden. The doctor holds that the
earthly paradise must have had its loca-
ton in thepolar region, and at a time so re-
mote that the mind Of man can conceive of
it only by infinite exertion. Then the me-
neurological conditions at the pole were
the reverse Of what they are to-day, and
the conformation of the arctic essentially
differed from the present form. The vol
ume will give great encouragement to the
son of Captain Symmes, who still spends
the better part of his days in promoting
and celebrating the theory of his sire, that
there is at the pole depression which
deepens into an entrance to the interior Of
the earth, where, but probably in a mod
flied form, the earthly paradise still exists.
The work of Dr. Warren does not convince
the scientific world, but it entertains and
commands fair hearing, because Of the
elaborate collation. and the ingenious mar
shalling in logical array of the traditions
upon which, in part, the theory of the
once habitable condition of the extreme
Arctic region is founded. But there is
also a very ingenious array Of geological
evidence in support of the theory,
while the proofs adduced from re-
hgious beliefs and traditions are force
full Beyond the frozen barriers that
efectually check the researches of
man, the fancy has the broadest of fields
for its play, and since Eden was place so
fair as to be wholly incompatible with any
geographic section known to us, specula-
tons regarding the mysterious and UNI
locked north will always be possessed of
profoundly romantic interest. The very
fact that the evidences are undeniable that
in remote periods of which we have pos
tive proofs man was exceedingly low in
the intellectual scale, and lived much as
do the beasts of the forest, but adds a
charm to the fanciful speculation that pos
sibly there was beyond those periods of
mere animal existence the beginning of an
era of ascending intelligence for man, at
the summit of which he may have been a
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-06-20

more superior being than even now. = But
this must be mere assumption on the part
of whoever INDUCES in it, for there are no
proofs that can be accepted as incontro-
vertible, nor even as highly probable. If
it is admitted, for the sake of the argu-
ment, that the reverend writer of the book
has established by fair inference the Eden
like character of the polar regions in
given period, it cannot be admitted that
there is certain groundwork laid for pee
ping that garden with human beings. All
the geological evidences deny it-nega-
lively, it is true; but in the failure to re-
veal the impress of mans presence they
are practically conclusive. The chief
value of the work, aside from its ingenious
| array of traditional and geologic testi-
| monies relative to former Arctic conditions
| resides in the fact of the discussion of such
a question by minister Of the Christian
religion, since it testiies to the growth OF
liberalism in the discussion Of the origin
of man, and still further abandonment OF
| the old time reliance upon the biblical &C
| count of the creation Dr. Warren stands
deservedly high in the literary circles OF
his country, and his piety and orthodoxy
are not matters of any doubt. His treat
Use, therefore, takes on an additional in
terest. 1t has done what worthless book
never does-drawn the fire of the scientific
critics, and commanded the respect Of the
literary class. Very few of the reviewers
accord right position to the Doctor upon
any given point of his argument, but all
express admiration for the ingenuity OF
his method, the patience manifested in
marshaling traditional testimony, and for
the charm of the style of the author. Per
haps no more concise, respectful and yet
complete answer to the theory has APP
peared than that written by an accom-
plished editor of the Atlantic Monthly
who finds such fatal defects in the theory
and cited proofs, that the work Of the dis
| tinguished scholar is only saved from his
ridicule by the dignifed method and pol
ished style employed by its author.

LITERARY AND COLLEGIATE TRAINING

The San Francisco Bulletin discusses the
question whether indeed literary training
at its best is had only in colleges and
universities. Our contemporary rightly
concludes that collegiate course is no
longer an indispensable requisite for liter
airy excellence, or for that education that
fits man for professional and business &C
tivities, and learned and skilled vacations.
The views of the Boston Adrertiser are
quoied-the editor being collegian and of
collegiate faculty. 1t says:
Making list hastily of well known authors,
setting their names down as they occur to US, il
appears that Irving, Poe Cooper and Whittier
are almost the only names of men of the first
rank who did not have collegiate education.
Bryant began a college course, but was COM
PEELED to discontinue ii. Longfellow, Haw
thorne Holmes. Emerson, Thoreau, Willis,
Prescott, Bancroft, Motley, the two Danas, were
all college men. In taking men of the later
generation and recognizing the conspicuous,
rather than the eminent as basis for Judgment,
the college men are Parkman, Warner, Lodge,
! Fiske, various Adamses, Hale, Digginson,
White. Storey, Cranch, Scudder, Leland De-
Forrest, Curtis Norton J. +. Clarke, Ripley.
Stedman offsets Bryant as coming between the
two classes Of non-college men larger num-
Der may be readily named-Walt Whitman,
Whipple, Trowbridge Fields Parton Stoddard
Bayard Taylor, Eggleston, Hart, Howells,
James, Aldrich, Lsthrop, stockton, Piatt Ca
bic. Crawford, Fswcett, Glider, Harris, Garlic
ton, Mark Twain, Burroughs. 1t is possible that
we have put some name in one or the other of
these lists on the wrong side, but there can be
no considerable error, and anyone can add 10

Letter From Newcastle.

EDS. RECORD NIoN:--The busy days
are coming for this section. To be con-
vinced of this person has only to take his
stand upon any one of the platforms front
ing the fruit-shipping establishments To-
Gated here, and watch the receivers con-
stantly unloading the wagons from A. NJ.
to 4 P. NJ each day. Peaches-Hale's Early
are quite plentiful just now. They are
probably the best of the very early varieties,
and find ready sale in the eastern markets.
They ripen easily, are of good flavor and
color, and are moderately good shipper
A few pears have been received, plenty of
apples and early plums.
The first full carload of fruit that has
ever been shipped from Newcastle direct to
| the East was sent to-day by the Corpora
tive Fruit Company of this place. 1t went
| to Denver, and consisted of peaches, pears.
plums, apricots and apples. Heretofore the
| fruit has always been shipped out on small
orders, owing to the inability to secure
enough fruit at one time to fill a car, be-
yond the regular everyday orders. Owing
to the good crop of the present season,
which exceeds in quantity that of any past
year. shipments in carload lots are rem
| dered possible 1t is the intention to make
| frequent carload shipments hereafter, as
| they are convinced that they will be of
great benefit to the producers in this vi
cinity.
! Regarding the red plums sent you last
| week, and of which you made mention,
they were raised on the ranch of W. A
Plantz of Ophir, who has one tree, and
which be believes to be the only one on the
coast OF this variety. Have you had any
response to inquiry in the RECORD UNION
about them? S.
Newcastle, Cal, June IS, 1885.
| fNo information has been received at this
| office that any one else has trees of this va
riety, and it is quite probable that Mr..
Plantz has the only one in the State-EDs.

either list according to his own judgment with
out materially disturbing the balance.
S IT is clear to whoever observes that lit
erary culture among the men of the day is
not of necessity the result of college train
ing The book press of the nineteenth
century has placed it within the power of
men of viii and ambition to cultivate
tastes of the highest order in literature,
science and art, without special training in
colleges. The Bulletin is quite right when
it says the men who have been educated
in college, and those who are not, are not
very far apart in the matter of literary
qualifications" 1t might well have added
that for thorough reading the non-colleg-
ians can present an equal record.
They certainly are, proportionately, the
largest and best body of book buyers; they
are the largest and most critical body OF
art connoisseurs; they form a very large
part OF the scientific corps of the country
they are engaged in the professions and in
literary pursuits as largely as are colleg-
ians, and so far as the world is concerned
there is very little to distinguish them
from those who have had collegiate train
i ing It may be true that the most of the
| non-collegiaus distinguished in business
and literary walks are specialists; that they
have trained themselves upon one line OF
thought. But this is pre-eminently the
age of specialists. Men are learning to dc
one thing thoroughly and we'll, and the
world is the better for it, while the posi-
bilities Of progress are in no wise narrowed
by it.

RED MITES OR RED SPIDERs.-William
Jackson, Walnut Grove, Cal: The speci-
mems you send are too much dried up for
determination, but are species of red mite
or red spider, and can be readily destroyed
by using whale oil or soft soap, ten
pounds tobacco stems, two or three
pounds; concentrated I've, one pound.
Boil the tobacco stems in two or three gal
Ions of water; dissolve the lye in one gallon
of water, and by adding the soap this will
make twenty gallons of solution. Spray
the trees with it, and repeat if necessary.
The solution will not iniure foliage nor

IT is gratifying to note that New York City is
doing something graceful to wipe out the
stigma of her neglect and laches in preparing
the pedestal for the Bartholdi statue. If there
is one thing in which more than in another we
are, as people, skilled, it is in 'whooping up
a reception and making great ado over
parades. We know how to beat the drum and
iaunt the flag and make the brass-throated
trumpets bray. Possibly our French guests will
be deceived by all the outer evidences of CRATE
fulness that were paraded for their benefit in
New York City. But back of it all Amer
leans know that in all this Bartholdi statue
business we have acted meanly, contemptuous-
ly and in a manner to justify the French in lay
ing ON the lash right soundly.
TIE lasso has been introduced in New York
as new implement for the accomplishment OF
highway robbery, and as a consequence the
New Workers are in fear and trembling. The
lasso was used by robbers years ago in Paris and
is not in disse yet. Against there is absolutely
no guard to be thrown up The assailant keeps
at a safe distance until his victim is PROSTATE.
TIE farmors of California are learning this
season the value of early and thorough cultva-
tion and the lesson will not be lost upon them.

IT has developed that Immediately after
the great strike of iron workers had been
made in Pennsylvania the travel to the
West from the region of the strike greatly
increased 1t was so phenomenal as to ex-
cite inquiry by passenger agents. One of
these looked deeply into the cause, and
discovered that the increase in the west
ward current was wholly due to the exodus
of iron workers and their families to the
cheap lands of the West, where they pro-
pose to tickle the ribs of nature and de-
velop as agriculturists. 1t is something
satisfactory to know that these wage
earners have in so large part been provi-
dent enough to be able, when the rainy
day comes, to engage in such movement
and it reads lesson to other toilers that
may be studied with profit

Escape of Counterfeiters.

FLAGSTAFF, June 19th.-Local officers for
seven or eight weeks have been watching
two counterfeiters in the San Francisco
mountains. They have given the officers
the slip by leaving the camp equipage as if
they were going away for few hours.
They left with about 81 800 in gold and
silver coin. One is SO years old, dark COM
plexion, full beard, walks erect, face
powder burnt, five feet eleven inches high,
and called himself Devoid, or Van. The
other is IS years old, very sandy, five feet
nine inches, gold chain, silver watch,
claims to have been conductor on the
A. I. & S. f. Railway, and calls himself
Ike Armstrong. They probably went East.
The officers here claim to have notified
United States Marshall Tidball and asked
instructions, saying a conviction was GER
tain. but received no reply.

By what process Of reasoning did the
Associated Press reporters arrive at the
conclusion that the people Of California
would be interested in the schedule
of the yearly supplies of the pantry
at Vassar College? Any other board
ing school would have made like show
ing, and there is nothing in it of either
news quality or personal interest. Sup
pose the Vassar pupils did last year eat so
much of meat and drink so much Of milk,
and consume so many pounds Of cara
mels-what of it? Is news so starved at
the East that it must needs feed upon the
recollection of what the girls of college
ate in the past year? The press re-
porters insult common intelligence by such
rot Let any one keep a record of food
consumed by his family in a year, and see
how the figures mount up. But what of
it? OF course 400 healthy girls eat; if
they did not, times would be harder than

THE new Ministert to China has attempt
ed to explain why an appointment to that
post from among Californians would have
been unwise It is the old argument over
again, and is simply this: China would be
displeased if one known to be opposed to
unrestricted Chinese immigration into
America were sent to her court. That this
is a mere assumption is undeniable. No
one has cited any proof that the Chinese
Government entertains any such senti-
ment. 1t did not so treat Mr. Swift as to
give reason for any such speculation. 1t
sends to us representatives without any
consultation Of our desires regarding the
views entertained by them Of the Chinese
immigration question. Judge Wallace,
Mr.. McCoppin and Mr.. DENLY all argue by
illogical methods and an assumed major
premise which is unsupported by single
atom of evidence. The truth is Wallace
and McCoppin have given the Democracy
in California black eve, and Mr.. DENLY
