AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Louisiana Purchase.

In the course of his researches, writes q
Washington correspondent to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, Chief Geographer Gannett,
of the Geological Bureau, has unearthed
some interesting facts not generally known
about the region once described as the Ter
ritory of Louisiana.
As early as the beginning of the eigh-
tenth century an official attempt was made
to change the names of several of the riy-
ers. In 17l2 France made grant to An
tome de Crozat of the exclusive right TO
trade in the territory. This grant made
the first and only statement of the general
limits of the vast region. France at that
time claimed much more than is usually
understood by the Territory OF Louisiana.
The grant reads:
"All the territories BY US possessed and
bounded by New Mexico and by those of
the English in Carolina all the establish
ments, ports, harbors, rivers, and especially
the port and harbor of Dauphin Island
formerly called Massacre Island, the River
ST. Louis, formerly called the Mississippi,
from the seashore to the Illinois, together
with the River st. Philip, formerly called
the Missouries river, and the st. Jerome
formerly called the Wabash now the Ohio)
with all the countries, territories, lakes in
land, and the rivers emptying directly or
indirectly into that part of the River St.
Louis
In tracing the transfers of the various
portions of the Western country until the
present limits of the United States were
determined, Mr.. Gannett finds that this
Government came into possession of the
region now divided into Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho through a pure game of
bluff. 1t is certain, he says, that the Terri
tory of Louisiana as first and subsequently,
defined, never included that section.
France transferred the Territory of Louis
lana to Spain in 1862. A few months later,
in a treaty, the western boundary OF Great
Britain's possessions was made the center
of the Mississippi, and thus the Territory
of Louisiana lost all the land east Of the

Sleeping with the Head Low.

Few persons, we suppose, sleep without
a pillow or a rest of some sort to elevate the
head little above the level of the body,
and very few, if any, would think of habit
ually going to rest with the feet raised
higher than the head. Yet if we are to be-
lieve the writer of an article in Phugers
Archip, Nos. and s, 1856, the latter is the
only rational and proper position during
sleep. Dir. Meuli- Hilty is the advocate of
this plan. He was engaged in studying the
physiological effects of such a reversal of
the normal position Of the body, and found,
among other results, that the circumference
of the neck was increased nearly two inch
es, by reason chiefly, of swelling of the
thyroid gland. He frequently fell asleep
while in this position and occupied in his
studies, and found that he always awoke
earlier in the morning, felt greatly re-
freshed, and was capable of much better
work during the day than after nights
rest taken in the usual way. He has now
slept with his feet higher than his head for
the past four years, and his experience
leads him to commend the method most
highly. He says in this way the brain re-
ceiyes more plentiful blood-supply, and
is. consequently better nourished, while
there is no danger of so much blood pass
ing to the cerebral structure as TO cause
congestion. The danger is obviated bv the
enlargement of the thyroid gland. which
holds back q certain portion of the blood

THE GREAT REPUBLIC AND Court ETH
QUETTE.-Owing to the royal dinner party
at birmingham on Saturday the Prince of
Wales was unable to be present at the
debuts of Mrs. Macintosh and Miss Steer
Apropos of the dinner, an amusing incl
dent took place in the afternoon, which
proves that our transatlantic cousins have
much still to learn with regard 10 court
etiquette. The Princess Of Wales, having
previously met, and admired the recitation
of, the latest pretty American export,
graciously requested her presence at dinner
that evening; upon which the fair reciter
expressed her regret at not being able to
accept the honor offered her urging as an
excuse that she had promised to chaperon
some young ladies to Mrs. Mackiniosl S
debut. Her Royal Highness replied. with
q quiet smile of amusement, Then l am
afraid you must get your friends to kindly
excuse you, for l shall expect you" and
left the free-born American to discover that
royal wishes in this country are commands.

BRING UP You've MEN.-Some three years
ago, in an editorial we advised cur man
ufacturers to select one or more boys
from good and tried familieS-hoys that bid
well TO become staid, energetic business
men, 10 send them TO some institute where
they can get the training you desire to fit
them for your work. Open an account
with them; when you send them away
charge the expense TO them as you pay it
out; and when they graduate, and you put
them in the mill, give them to understand
that If they prove themselves worthy of the
trust, you will make them sharers of the
profits. You will get blank once in
while, but as rule you will get young
man who will help to carry the burden,
while you do the thinking And your bust
ness secrets will be kept. Besides, to have
half dozen young men coming home in
this way will elevate the tone of your
works. Instead Of one going through the
mill once or twice day, there will be an
owner somewhere in sight all the time
You can then use your skill and experience
where it will produce the most money.

A NEW INDIAN ToRTURE.-The Apaches
have found new and improved torture.
1t is slow and sure death-terrible 10 the
victim in its pangs of anguish; frightful
in its nibbling bites; excruciating in its
millions of stings and horrible in its slow
ness of death. What those demons of hell
cannot think of almost surpasseth COM
prehension.n Now when the country is
favorable, the Indians take prisoner, strip
him naked and pin him down over large
ant-hill and leave him there in the broiling
sun till myriads of ants actually torture
him TO death. His writings and piteous
appeals for mercy-mercy for them TO kill
him-are laughed at. Sill they do show
some mercy, for they scalp him and slap
his scalp in his face; they then skin him
in strips, thus giving the ants fresh start
for ad .itional vigor in their attack. The
victim then after having suffered untold
agonies, becomes, praise be TO nature, In

PRESERVING RIPE FRUIT.-Some Califor-
mia capitalists have organized and incorpo-
rated under the name of the Western Ripe
Fruit Carriers. They have purchased the
patent rights of an invention which it is
said effectually solves the question of the
shipment of ripe fruit long distances. The
plan is to pack the fruit in trays, having
apartments for each single piece of fruit
The ventilation of the fruit thus packed is
perfect 1t is we'll known that fruit spoils
more in day when closely packed to-
gether than it would in a week when not in
contact and smothered. The shipment of
fruit by this process is a demonstrated sue
cess. Ripe fruit in transit a week or ten
days, is put upon the market sound and
perfect. This is an unreasonable improve
ment upon the old method which requires
that the fruit be picked two weeks before
ripe to insure safe shipment. Fruit thus
marketed cannot be anything but inferior
in quality. The Western Ripe Fruit Car
riers promise to give Eastern people taste
Of California fruit in the purity of its natu-
rally matured sweetness. This enterprise
is one that seems feasible and ought to sue
coed. The fruit-growers of the State have
as much at stake as the stockholders them
selves. As to the cost of shipment by this
method it is claimed that the difference is
merely nominal.-LOdi !Senti1el

Old Holm Rrorxn,s snn.

Yesterday party of US drove over to call
on Captain Brown, q son of the immortal
John Brown. The Captain is a fine-look-
ing man, very courteous and very inteli-
gent. He gave us a most interesting de-
scription of the island, refusing however,
to talk much of himself. His home is
pretty and pleasant, and full of evidences
of cultivated taste and mind. He is a sur
veyor by profession and & devoted student
of geology. He invited us into his studio
out on the beach. 1t is on an elevated
stone, overhung with lindens. The walls
are decorated with ivies and vines, while at
your feet water splashes and plays. In it
he has goOd-sized table and a comfortable
chair. The sun never reaches it, and it was
delightfully."- cool and inviting There he
spends much of his leisure time reading or
writing or studying, trying to resolve the
geological problems and mysteries so
abundant in this region. He took US TO
see some remarkable scratches on the rocks,
traces of glacial action. They are visl-
Bile all along the island wherever
the stone is laid bare. The whole
lake-bed shows conclusively that it
was cut out entirely by the action OF the
great masses of ice. The track of the glacier
is as long and wide as the anti-climate
bridge is long, which is the whole length
anu VI lIC i1tIUDlldn, Is rare
mineral used in manufacturing fireworks,
is found almost everywhere on the island.
1t is usually found in pockets in the I'M
DERIVING rocks. Captain Brown is by no
means an ordinary man, either mentally or
physically. He took us into his "den.h as
he calls it, 6 little house of several rooms,
built short distance from his residence,
and | noticed that his book shelves con-
tanned number of well-selected books,
few that any but man of intellect would
care to read. He also reads and speaks
French well. Professor Orten, State Geolo-
gist, is to be his guest next week, and to-
gether they will explore more thoroughly
the islands and their formation. AT his

THE Poor MANS OYsTER-The small
harvest has just begun in France The
Z" poor mans oyster is so appreciated that
Paris alone consumes about forty-nine tons
daily, the best kind coming from Grenoble
or Burgundy. The finest specimens are
carefully reared in an escargatoire, or snail
park, such as the poor Capuchin monks
planned in bygone days at Colmar and
Weinbach, when they had no money to
buy food, and so cultivated snails. But
the majority are collected by the vine
dressers in the evening from the stone
heaps where the snails have assembled TO
enjoy the dew. The creatures are then
starved in dark cellar for two months,
and when they have closed up the aperture
of their shell are ready for cooking. Ac-
cording to the true Burgundy method they
are boiled in five or six waters, extracted
from the shell, dressed with fresh butter
and garlic, then replaced in the shell, COW
cred with parsley and bread crumbs, and
finally simmered in white wine.-Paris

LocUsr PLAGUEs.-The records of locust
plaques in the warm countries of the East,
in modern as well as in ancient times, al
most surpass belief. Kirby and Spence
mentioned an army of locusts which raw
aged the Mahratta country, extending in a
column five hundred miles long. and so
compact that it obscur,t the sun like an
eclipse. Near the close Of the last century
so many persisted in the sea on part Of the
African coast that bank three or four feet
high, and about fifty miles long WAS formed
on the shore BY their dead bUdies, and the
stencil of them was carried one hundred
and fifty miles BY the wind. In another
part of Africa, early in the Christian era
one plague of locusts is said to have caused
the death of 500 coo persons, and in sol
nearly as bad a plague occurred in Italy.
Again, in 147S, more than 10000 persons
persisted in the Venetian territories from
famine caused by locusts.-BoSton Budget

STYLES IN PARTING THE Handsome
of the greatest men among us part their
hair in the center. Among them may be
mentioned Ingersoll, Roscoe Conkling, his
brother, Colonel Frederick Cenkling
Bishop Potter and hundreds of others
among army officers the clergy and states
men. 1t is no more effeminate than it is
masculine for young lady to part her hair
on the side; il is simply question ofwhat
is becoming. know of clergyman who
looks manly and grand with his hair part
ed in the center, who looks actually foolish
when his brow is more covered by the
hair parted on the side, as he wore it one
day at the request of his wife, who laugh
ingly declared she never wished to see his
hair parted on the side again. He says he
has good example in wearing his hair as
he does-the pictures of the Savior have
the hair worn III like manner. 1 know
several pretty young ladies who are made
prettier by the hair being parted little on
one side. 1t shortens the face, and really
looks more feminine, as does everything
which covers the brow. 1t is only custom
which makes us think otherwse-Ne,g

INpEsrRUcrIBLE PASTE FOR CLOSING LET
TERs.-Letters or envelopes which it is de-
sired to protect against unauthorized open
ing (by moistening the pasted portion) may
be securely sealed by using a solution OF
oxide of copper in ammonia as paste. This
liquid has the faculty of dissolving cellu-
lose. When applied to the paper it dis
solves the cellulose on the surface, aud on
drying the two partially dissolved surfaces
adhere indissolubly together. The same
thing may be accomplished by using water
glass (silicate of soda or potassa) In this
case the chemical action is different, but
when it is completed the pasted surfaces
cohere as permanently as in the preceding
ease.-IRetlical and Surgical Reporter.

The Religion of Buddha.

The reader OF the biography of the man
who founded the great religion called Bud
dhism, desires to know in what that religion
consists. He left no writings, but his teach
ings, and the deductions drawn from his
teachings have been i'll later times formu-
lated in books Buddhism gives no expla-
nation of the beginnings of all things its
starting point is that the world and men
exist, ana that everything is subject TO
change. Everything moves toward either
destruction or renovation. Nirvana-'per-
fiction or salvation lis the state towards
which the righteous tend: for the theist
there is the absorption of the individual in
God for the atheist absorption is nothing,
A human life is not separate entity; it is
a portion, 50 TO speak, of the universal life.
The life that sinneth il shall die says Bud
dism; it shall sink through lower and lower
FORMS until it reaches humiliation. The
righteous life, rising ever upwards, at
tains at length to NirvaDa, and is re-
absorbed in the Divine Essence
There is ever-increasing joy in ever
increasing wisdom, and after one life is
ended there shall be another, ever ascend
ing the scale of holiness, stretching up to
beatific and illimitable nights. This was
transmigration not of souls-for Guatama
held that there is no such thing is soul
but of life; each individual. according to
the good or bad use he makes of his pres
ent life, becomes after death another indi-
vidual of higher or lower character. And
yet, it is almost an error to say that Buddha
taught absorption into God as the stage of
existence beyond Nirvana for it does not
appear that Buddhism acknowledges q
God. Perfection can go no further; it is
the vanishing point of the human land
soane IT certainly strikes lis that ami
hilati0n is a poor reward for the striyings
of many consecutive lives after holiness
THAT each, who seems a separate whole,
Should move his rounds, and fusing all
The skirts of self, again should fall
Remerging in the general soul
Is faith as vague as all unsweet."
The Personality of God and the individ-
uality of the human soul, which are among
the dearest doctrines of Christianity, are
wanting in Buddhism.-7he QuirT for Sep
