PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has sent a message to Congress in reference to the labor problem; he planes both capital and labor for the recent troubles and suggests as remedy for the evil, the appoint ment of Commissions to investigate and settle the difficulties. Whilst the Commissioners wont amount to much in settling the difficulties, they may be depended on for promptitude in drawing their sala- ries, and burdening the depart ment with long drawn philosophic- al conclusions, the glst of which will be that the appointment of the Commission was wise and neces- sary measure, and will greatly benefit the community.

THE tramp nuisance is seriously engaging the attention of the Cali fornia press, and various remedies are suggested for its abatement. It has been proposed to put them to work, which in our opinion would have a most salutory effect, as the tramp hates work and would give localities where this remedy is provided, wide berth. Make work compulsory and the nuisance will shortly disappear.

The Money. Makine Passion.

When Jeremiah p. Robinson died in
Brooklyn the other day he left an estate
whose value is generally estimated at from
S4,O00, 900 to $5,0O0,0O0. Long years ago.
when MIR. Robinson was young and driv-
ing business man, he had an ambition, and
THE ambition was to accumulate a fortune
of $4,000.

one day to one of his clerks, then I'm GO
ing to quit business right short off and en-
JOY the rest of my days in ease" And sew
e. years went by before anything akin to
the figure he had fixed upon as satisfactory
was approached; but the closer he got the
less he had to say about $4,000 being
enough for any sensible man." One New
Years Day he entertained his clerk.

Then you are going to go out of bust
ness, suppose, the clerk remarked.
Go out of business! Why. man alive,
what are you talking about?" 90 out of
business! I have only begun; my figure is
$l5o,000; that's enough to satisfy any man,
and more would be o burden. But $50, 900

close to it as it does when it's about $40

came to look as big as it did once, and its
possession was but the incentive to more
energy and bigger enterprise. It is the

THE ROMAN NAVY.

Twenty years after the Persian in
vasion of Rome, which took place $50
years before Christ, the Roman boats
were hardly in condition to make sue
cessful voyage to Sicily, but eight years
later Regulus had $40 large vessels,
with 800 rowers and 100 combatants
each, at Renomos, where he was VIC
torious. The three Punic wars dis
played magnificent marine endeavors,
and the last. which decided the fate Of
Carthage, saw an immense army trans
ported to Africa on an entirely success
full expedition. The power of Rome
was thus made supreme. Caesar in his
second descent on England had 600
vessels transporting 10000 men. Dur
ing his civil wars he transported 35, 900
men to Greece, afterwards $4,000 men
to Africa, in detachments. The great
est armament of the latter days Of the
Roman Empire was that of Augustus,
who transported $4,000 men and $4,000
horses into Greece to oppose Anthony.
Besides the numerous transports were
26O vessels Of war to protect them.
Anthony had 100 vessels of war manned

WONDERS OF YELLOWSTONE paRx.


Col. Reynolds, of the United States
Army, made trip into the Yellow
stone region just before our great civil
war broke out, and the wonders of his
report were almost lost in the fierce
struggle of that prolonged war and it's
subsequent aspects. He apparently
does not believe those he did not act
ually see. for he speaks of them as
"Munchausen tales" q short one of
which 1 transcribe. One was to this
effect: "In many parts of the country
petrlficatlons and fossils are very num-
erous, and, as consequence, it was
claimed in some locality q was not
able to fix it definitely a large tract of
sage brush is perfectly petrifed, with
all the leaves and branches in perfect
condition, the general appearance of
the plain being like that of the rest of
the country; bat all is stone; while
the rabbits, sage hens, and other ami
mails usually found in such localities
are still there, perfectly petrifed, and
as natural as when they were living,
and, more wonderful still, the petrifed
bushes bear the most wonderful fruit !;
diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds,
etc, as large as black walnnts, are
found in abundance" DIR. Gannett's
report to the United States Geological
Survey of 1878, commenting on this
very singular story, says: "This story,
absurd as it sounds, has large basis in
fact. The narrator, however, had mixed
up distinct phenomena, and over all
had spread lavishly the coloring of his
imagination. There are fields of sage,
as we'll MS bits Of forest, which, lying in
immediate proximity to groups
OF springs, have been petrifed while
standing. The hot siicious water
from the springs is drawn up through
the pores of the wood, and between the
wood and the bark, by capillary attrac.
ton and depositing silica wherever il
goes, the tree or bush is rapidly trans.
formed into rock.
"Ihe story of the remarkable fruit
borne by these stone trees is not fan
from correct, the main difference be
tween the story and the fact being tina
the fruit is borne on the outside and in
side of the trunks Of the trees, instead
of on the ends of the branches. TIL.
mineral species are not as given in tn
story, either, but that is matter of II,
vital Importance. In the process o
silicitication of wood the last result o
all is the production of quartz crystals
The tree trunk is converted totally int
crystalline quartz, radiating from With
outward, the crystals being all crowde
out of shape. The inside and outsid
of the hollow cylinder of quartz whic
represents the former tree are covere
with the characteristic quartz pyramids
Such products of silicifcation are yer
abundant in the park, particularly o
Amethyst Ridge, and are undoubtedl
the stone fruit of the petriied tree
and bushes. The crystals are colorles
amethystine or yellow, and, accordin
to the color, are known to the moul
tain men as diamond, amethyst, topa!
etc. 1t is unnecessary to say that til
part of the story relating to animal lii
was manufactured from whole cloth. ~
