her beard began to grow when she

wanting to die for being afflicted, but
of late years she does not let ii bother
her. She has a sweet voice and at

Depth Of American Lakes.


There is a mystery about The
American lakes. Lake Erie is only
90 to 70 feet deep; but Lake Ontario
is 592 feet deep, $50 below the tide
level of ocean, or as low as most parts
of the Gulf of st. Lawrence; and the
bottom of Lake Huron, Michigan
and Superior, although the surface il
much higher, are all, from theiI
vast depths, ON level with the bot
tom of Ontario. Now, as the dis.
charge through the river Detroit
after allowing for the probable por.
ton carried ffby evaporation, doe,
not appear by any means equal Il
the quantity of water which the three
upper lakes receive, it has been con.
jectured that a subterranean river
may run from Lake Superior, by
Huron, TO Lake Ontario. This con-
lecture is otimpossible, and accounts
for the singular fact that salmon and
herring are caught In all the lakes
communicating with the St. Law
renee, but no Others. AS the falls Of
Niagara must have always existed, il
would puzzle the naturalist to say
how fish got into the upper lakes
without some subterranean river
moreover, any periodical obstruction
of the river would furnish not i'm
probable solution Of the mysteriou
fiux aud refux of the lakes.

After stormy session lasting three
days, the Democratic judicial conven-
ton at Russellville last week, nomi-
mated Willis l.. Reeves, of Todd, to
succeed Judge w. L. Dulaney as Cir
cult Judge of the 9th district. The
contest was very bitter and the nom-
ination was brought about by the
seating of the Reeves delegation from
Butter county by the chairman, q
Reeves man, who decided that they
could vote to seat themselves. Rodesi
friends did not bolt but refused to
vote after this arbitrary action. Mr..
Reeves is,about AZ years old, a grad.
uate of Yale and lawyer OF good
standing. We are very sorry that the
faint of fraud is about his nomina.
ton as we would have been gratified
to see him win the nomination in q
fair, square fight. Whether lie will
he elected depends upon The actiono
Mr.. II des' friends.
By-the-way just such contests al
this present a strong argument ia
favor of judges being appointed in.
stead of elected. A judge who car
try case without prejudice where
his friends and opponents in such q
contest are arrayed against each other
is hardly human. 1t will take years
to wipe OFT the asperities engendered
ly such bitter and relentless po-
litical warfare as characterized the
Russellville convention. tlf4
