matter of their religion. Here is an
old chapel built and occupied by The
Catholics for centuries, but the
lighted taper and swinging pot of
incense have given place to wor-
ship simple but fervid in prayer and
song and this, the protestant world
at least, will call progress. But the
great advancement which this people
have made in religious thought is
more apparent still, when we 60
back only a little more than three
hundred years, and find the aztec
ancestors of these same men and
women under the bloody rites of their
religion offering at their great sacri-
fetal feasts, thousands of human
victims upon the sacrificial stone,
and devoutly piling the trunkless
heads of their victims at the feet of
their terrible war god Mexitili. Both
sacrifcial stone and war god though
buried with other Aztec idols
by the Spaniards, to clear the
way for their religion have since
been exhumed and are preserved
among the Aztec antiquities of the
capital. No more about these, how
ever, till see them. But surely here
is progress. G.

THE GRAND CANON OF THE
COLORADO.

What words are to be used, unaid-
ed by pencil or brush, when one
seeks to describe what the canon of
the Colorado river valley really is?
Its magnitude, it's solemnity, the aw-
full depth, the rushing waters, the
towering cliffs, all speak to us, but
we cannot speak of them. Man is
dwarfed by nature, abashed by her
grandeur, silenced by the exhibition
of her powers. Imagine the scene.
A yellow hued stream, rushing like
gust of angered wind along a rock
strewn bed and between a line of
dark-hued cliffs. Look upward
thousand feet, and rocks look angri-
ly down; gaze up another thousand
feet, another. and still another, and
there are the same dark-browed mon
sters glaring down upon you and
upon the river. Look up again, and
now gaze for 6000 feet into the air
toward the heavens, and you can still
see rough-edged rocks, all outlined
against the sky, over a mile in height
away, throwing up pinnacles and
towers, and domes and isolated
peaks, Clipped and SCARED, and
dark, massive and irregular. The
light of day is dimmed, the place is
full of loud, hoarse roars, the air is
chilled, and the river, lashed into
foaming fury, leaps madly along its,
course. Here are shadows that Rem
brandt would have gloried in; here
Dore might have copied nature and
added to his fame. Here is the road
to Dante's sombre halls. One stands
within the very bowels of the earth,
with all light and brightness lost to
view. He sees the work of ages, the
result of mighty power. The earth
is cleft in twain; it is as though a
mountain, tall and strong, halved by
some sharpened sword. Six thou
| sand feet of stony depth Six thou
sand feet beneath the light of day
There are no pleasant smiles of ma
| ture to be seen. No flowers grow,
no shrubs appear, no birds are visi-
BILE. Dark are the towering walls.
and darker still their shadows, while
the towers take on most uncouth
shapes, and the river luns out of
blackness to us and into darkness
from us, puny monster in compari-
son with its prison, wayward child
| held in stern rebuke.
From the tops of the cliffs which
form the Colorado's canon the river
winding at their base is like strand
of gold. But it needs strong nerve
to look from the great height into the
depths below. Drop stone and the
splash it would make upon striking
the water could not be seen. Even
the noise the river makes is not audi
BILE, and the stream flows noiseless-
ly along its dark and rugged course.
Turning from the gaze into the can
on, and looking about the country,
the deep rent is seen stretching far
away to the east and west, while in
the distance are tall trees and rocks
and bare brown hills. One question
why the canon was made and how
whether worn by the river or formed
by volcanic action. But whatever
the cause, it is strange freak of ma
ture, rivalllng, with its grandeurs,
all other sights, inviting comparison
but challenging competition. All
other canons of the wild southwest,
where rivers delight to wind in dark
ened places, sink into insignifcance
when compared to this of the Rio
Colorado.

INGRowING ToE-NAILs.-As this is
a very painful malady, it may be
worth great deal to some of our very
many readers te say that the trouble
is not with the nail but with the flesh,
which gets pushed upon it, thereby
becoming infamed and the infiamma-
ton and swelling are kept up by the
presence of the nail, which then acts
as foreign body.-To cure it, take
the neighboring toe-which, by the
way, is really the offender-and with
it press the swollen flesh down and
away from the nail, then bind the two
firmly together with adhesive strips,
which may be had at any drug store.
If the strips get loose and the flesh
slips up on the nail again, readjust
the toe again and put On fresh plaster
until the flesh rehabituates itself to
its former place.-This is the only
rational treatment. Let sufferers try
it and report.

said, was rather slow, and some coca

this occasion soon offered The remo-
val of the collector OF New Haven, and
the appointment of Democrat in his
place, produced bitter remonsirance
from the merchauts Of that city Jeffer-
son, 10 his answer to this remonstrance,
improved the opportunity to fully ex-
plain bis policy and to justify it. This
celebrated paper shows the wisdom OF
the statesman as well as The adrotness
of the politician
After referring to certain declarations
of his, which had been quoted and mis-
'constraed into assurances that the ten
IRE of office was to be undistarbed, he
saws: "When it is considered that, du
ring the late administration, those who
were not of particular sect of politics
we're excluded from Office; when by a
steady pdrsuit OF this measure, nearly
the whole offices Of the United States
we're nonopolized by that sect; when
the public sentiment at length declared
itself, and burst open the doors OF honor
and confidence to those whose opinions
they more approve; was il to be imag-
ined that this monopoly OF ofs;ce was
still TO be continued in the hands OF the
minority :"
And further on in the argument, come
these remarkable sentences: "If due
participation of Office is a matter of
right, how are vacancies to be obtained I
Those BY death are few; by resignation
none."
In conclusion, he takes occasion to
severely criticise the practice Of the late
