The Resources Of Alaska.

Kate Field, in North American Review.
Alaska is the land of topsy-turvy. Heretofore
placer mines have always been found in the
beds Of streams and in valleys. In Alaska they
'haye been found on the top Of mountain 1000
feet high, as wen as in the valley of the w.
kon. Indians report gold in the mountain
passes Of the Chilkat river, while its color has
been found near the mouth. The latest dis
covery of gold quartz is on the island of Unga
The precious metals, however, are not Alaska Q
sole mining attractions Coal and iron abound
ON the Chilkat river. In fact there are evil
dences Of coal on many parts Of the coast, but
only two mines are at present in operation one
being in the arctic at Cape Lisburn. Years
ago Prof. Davidson, of the coast survey, dis
covered coal which pervades an entire range of
hills, the very dust of which adheres to the
magnet. These hills extend thirty miles along
the east bank Of the Chilkat river. That there
il copper in Alaska no observer can doubt
One hundred years ago Capt Dixon wrote of
large circular wreaths Of copper both at Norfolk
sound (now Sitka) and Queen Charlotte'a
island twisted into that shape by the natives
themselves, who wore them as ornaments about
of the metal found there that resembles the
copper Of Lake Superior. The Thlinkets pos-
sessed the art Of forging this copper long be-
fore the advent Of Europeans. Nor il lead an
unknown quantity, while sulphur, Ralena.
graphite, platina, marble and cinnabar are
known to exist. Petroleum has been discoy-
cred at Katenay, on the main land opposite
Kodiak island.

The Lee Monument.

At meeting of Lee Camp of Confederate
Veterans in Richmond, Va, last night Governor
Lee made an explanation of the finances of the
Lee monument association. He said that the
association had about S65,OOO with which to
pay for the statue and monument. The monu-
ment, he said, was rapidly nearing completion.
At the request of the governor the camp agreed
to loan the association the $1,000 collected by
them for use on the occasion of the LAYING OF
the corner stone of the monument in October.
1887. Gov. Lee said the monument associa-
ton needed about S11 900 more than they now
have, with the addition of the loan made by
the camp. He thought the monument could be
unveiled in November next. The casting of
the bronze equestrian statue, he said, was be-
gun in Paris July Is and would, no doubt, be
finished by October

The Divine Plan Of Creation.

Prof. George J. Romanes in the Forum
To me individually it has always appeared
that a false issue is raised when opponents of
Darwinism make their appeal to the odium
theolOgicum. For although it is quite true
that the theory Of natural selection is incom-
patible with that Of supernatural design in
those cruder forms which it necessarily pre-
sented under a belief in special creation, do
not see that such is the case with regard to
any hypothesis of theology which deserves to
be regarded as in any way worthy Of those
higher conceptions Of theism which the
growth Of natural science, in all its parts, has
been the means Of engendering. It is true
that theists are now required enormously to
widen their ideas touching the nature and the
method Of superhuman design in the realm of
organic nature, just az was the case when
astronomy first revealed the utter inadequacy
of previous ideas touching the realm of inor-
ganic nature. But l cannot see that in the
former, any more than in the latter case, those
who on other grounds have accepted the theory
Of theism should find any reasonable cause for
alarm in being required to extend immeasura-
bly, their conceptions of the Divinity

Gen. BOulanger's Prophecy.

Gen. Boulanger has issued O manifesto, in
which he declares that the law against multiple
candidates in France is a blow against universal
suffrage. The measure, however, he says, will
not prevent the nation making known its SOW
ereign will. He continues: "As protest against
this odious violation of law the national COM
mittee has decided that 1 shall present myself
as a candidate for the councils general in eighty
cantons. The verdict of the people of those
cantons will be the prelude to the grander tri-
umph that is near at hand. Before long the
gang that now dishonors the country will be
pitilessly swept away and internal peace re-
stored"

be impossible for him TO leave his business for
some days, but If Miss Merrill would come
there they would be married the next day.
Miss Merrill started the next morning for

Governor of West Virginia.

1t was the right Of General Golf to
swear in as Governor, to demand all
he physical appurtenauces otthe office;
to eject by force anybody who should
stand in his way; II necessary to call to
his aid tho military Of tho statei and
further TO call on the National Govern
ment to support him in his efforts to
discharge the duties Of the office and to
preserve the peace.
This would have produced u state OF
alTais which West Virginia has not seen
since the war time in which she was
born. The fault would not have been
General Colts. The responsibility for
the turmoil and all its accompaniments
would have been on those Democratic
politicians who refused to allow the
Speaker OF the House to perform his
constitutional duty, because the per-
tormance Of that duty would have left
to those politicians no shadow OF a pre-
text to obstruct the full possession by
General Golf OF the Governors office.
Instead Of pursuing this course Gen
eral Gotr has wisely marked out for him
self n line Of conduct which, while en-
tirely peaceful, abates nothing Of his
claim 10 be the Governor OF West Vir-
sinia. Nothing in the brilliant career Of
this much more than ordinary man re-
fleets more credit on him-not even the
heroic message no sent to President Lin
coin when his life seemed to be hanging
by a slender thread.
