The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1890-07-11
The Berlin of 1890.

Harold Frederick. writing from Bcr-
lin, says: Berlin has grown Of late
years in a perfectly inexplicable fashion.
In 1885 it had a population Of 1885,
0D inhabitants, a gain Of nearly 2OO,-
600 in five years. Ii is apparent to ev-
cry observer that the growth has been
much more rapid since that date than
it was before. Before the century is
ended Berlin bids fair to pass Paris in
the race and become the second city in
Europe. But why this should be so is
what no one can explain. 1t is situat-
ed on an unnavigable river, ON the road
to nowhere in particular, and in the CEN
ter of a vast sand plain which is but
sparsely populated and is poorer than
Jobs proverbial turkey. Yet il has sue
cessfully distanced Amsterdam. Ant
werp, Hamburg and even Liverpool as
a focus of population. 1t manufactures
very little; it buys everything and has
nothing to sell; its principal industry
is the building of new houses for the
swarm of new people who are continual
ly pouring in from the country. Pre-
sumably these people are most attracted
by the fact that Berlin is the center of
government. the hub of the empire and
the permanent residence Of an army
corps. The threads Of German public
life, civil and military, financial and So
cial, are all knotted here, and so every
body goes there because somebody else
has gone. This makes a big population;
it makes also dangerous population.
In the nature of things Berlin is very
hotbed of discomfort. 1t is crowded
with poor people who have no business
there at all by any economic rule, but
who none the less bitterly resent their
poverty. They are governed very rough
ly by the police and military, and this
adds wrath to their resentment AS a
result Berlin elects full delegation of
Socialist deputies to the Reichstag by
majorities each time more sweeping than
before. It's workingmen's quarters are
honey-combed with anarchist societies
and semi-Socialistic conspiracies. Thus
far they have done nothing much be-
yond voting. But is obvious enough
that they could do great deal more If
they wished, and if sufficient provoca-
ton were offered. -

With us there is, you will say, no
throne to be bought or sold, no pr@tori-
an guard to claim the price or deliver
the scepter. But our recent struggle
has left behind a condition of things on
" less scandalOus because less openand
notorious. The honorable provision for
those who were disabled in their coun-
try's defense threatens, under the selfish
manipulation of those who see in the
degradation of their fellow-citizens an
easy road to political supremacy, to be-
come a pauperizing system whose most
innocent consequence is the ruinous bur-
den which it is destined to saddle upon
the public treasury. Never was there a
pharisaism of philanthropy in which
personal aggrandizement more impu-
IDENTIFY masqueraded in the garment Of
patriotism than our halls Of congress
have lately presented. and the unmanly
silence with which schemes so grOtesque
that they should have long ago been
launched out of any public assembly
have been received. is one Of the
most amazing facts Of our pOliti-
cal experience. Indeed, far apart in
time as are Rome and America, we must
needs own that the resemblances Of his
tory are at once tragic and significant.
1t was a huge military organization
which once put the Roman empire up
at auction and proposed to knock it
down to the highest bidder. To-day it
is the party which bids highest to pre-
cisely similar constituency that is to be
rewarded with the symbols of national
authority. Out Of this it has come to
pass that not alone some SCARED veter-
an, not alone some manned survivor Of
an heroic charge, that not alone the Wild
ow and orphan whom death on the field
or in the hospital has left penniless, but
every skulking camp follower and de-
serfer, every fraudulent and tainted
claimant who has the efrontery to de-
mand his bribe, can have it, ifonly his
vote shall thus become a commodity
within the control of partisan dictation
and he himself lackey TO do his polit-
-ical masters bidding. / have nothing
to say of those who have devised this
infamy and baptized it with civic graft
tude: but for the manhood which it is
destined to degrade, no honorable man
can feel any other than profound sor-
row. This surely is a system of govern
ment that deliberately conspires to de-
grade men, and no delicacy ought to
consent to excuse or cOndone it.-From
BishOp I'Otfer'S Ildrrard address.

A charter has been obtained organ

company, or with Tho Port Gibson &

The present objective point of the
road is Monroe, La, while the point to
be reached on the river Is either Grand

available point
We would suggest that the citizens
of this parish take active steps to secure
this road.
The Hart place. opposite ST. Joseph,
is undoubtedly the best place between

A-cIsnt Bones Lately r:uni in Florida.

Big boxes of curious old bones
have been arriving lately 1T the
university Of Pennsylvania, pending
n resting place in the work room of
Professor Joseph Lcidy, the famous
anatomist. They were first found
in Levy county, Florida in 1887,
imbcdded in stratum OF clay.
These bones are hundreds of
years old. They belong 10 extinct
creatures of the quatcrnary period.
DIR. Leidy has been hard ai work
identifying the animals Of which
the bones form a part. His cUucln-
si0ns are very interesting. The
chief bones, he says, are those of Il
rhinOceros, a mastodon, Il llama,
threc-toed horse and giant sloth.
There are also parts Of tapir,
small crocodile and a gar pike.
DIR. Leidy identifies the rhinoce-
ros as a variety whose skeleton has
never before been found in this
country east If the Mississippi. 1t
is about the size of the present ln-
dian rhinOceros, but has tusks eight
inches long instead of three inches,
and was probably h0rnless. Ii liy-
ed in Florida previous to the APP
pearance OF man. The mastodon,
whose bones were found, DIR. Leidy
calculates To have been half rs large
again as the present Asiatic ele-
phant, and a different species from
the common mastOdon, whose re-
mains have been found in almost
every state in the union. One of
the giant sloths, pronounced by DIR.
Leidy, the megatherium, was also
as large as the Asiatic elephant.
The only living sloth known, about
the size Of terrier, is tree ami
NAL.
DIR. Leidy is satisfied that the el-
ephant, tiger, horse and camel, be-
ing found in the same cave, lived ut
the same tlmo. and thinks il likely
that the others had been brought to
tho spot by the tiger as its food.
The finding Of the homes of horse
is considered strong evidence that
the common horse once existed oI
this continent and aftcrward became
extinct. These animals nre also
placed in the quatcrnary period.
Until these recent discoveries the
ewes of scientists had not been turn
ed toward Florida in expectation Of
finding fossil remains. European
geologists are now OH the qui yivc
to hear tho description of the ami
mails uncarthed there. The Bad
Lands, Oak, and Bridgcr, Wyo. T..
are two of the prominent fossil
fields of the west.-N. Y. Star.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1890-07-11

Mrs. q. III. Smith lives in San Ber-
nardino, Cal. She is As years old, and
a native Of Missouri. At the age Of IA
she married Albert Cole. They settled
in Utah and daughter was born to
them. Mr.. Cole was killed and the
widow went to California, where she be-
come the wife Of u. III. Smith. She is
a dark haired. bright eyed. intelligent
woman. in excellent health, and bills
fair to live to a good old age
Mrs. Smiths daughter, Ellen Cole,
was married while yet little more than
a girl to Mr.. Hicks at San Francisco.
The fruit of that union was daughter.
The widow remarked. the name Of her
second husband being Penicrgast. She
is now - years oil.
Mrs. Penderg lst's daughter by Mr..
Hicks grew mp as rapidly as did her
mother and grandmother. AT the age
of IL she became the wife Of Mr.. Gu
nuco, a conductor on the Atchison and
Santa Fe railway. They have one child,
a boy, now l5months old. Consequent
ly it will be seen that Mrs. Smith, al
though she is considerably less than
half a century old. is a great grand
mother. The possibilities, in case she
attaing the age Of 50, are absolutely be-
wildering.
There are at present FIVE generations
of the family living in San BernardinO
the great-great1grandfather, II. III.
Cole, a native of New Jersey, aged 50 /;
the great-grandmother, Mrs. 0. II.
Smith the grandmother, Mrs. E. Pen
dergrast; the mother, Mrs. Cunuco,and
the son, Master Cunuco. Great-great-
grandmother Cole died short time ago.
She left over a hundred descendants.
One of her daughters.a sister Of Albert
Cole, became the mother of six children
before attaining her twentv-third year.

c.sious ShTiakege Of nc Lakcs. Seas and Rio

There is evidence that the amount of
water on the surface of the earth has
been steadily diminishing for many
thousands Of years. No one doubts that
there was time when the Caspian sea
communicated with the Black sea, and
when the Mediterranean covered the
greater part Of the desert Of Sahara. In
fact. geologists tell us that at one time
the whole of the earth's surface was COW
cred by water many fathoms in depth.
All rivers and small streams are Wis
IDLY smaller than they were twenty-five
years ago. Country brooks in which
men now living were accustomed TO fish
and bathe in their boyhoOd have, in
many cases, totally disappeared in con-
sequence of the failure OF springs and
rains which once fed them. The level
Of the great lakes is falling year by year.
There are many piers ON the shores of
lakeside cities which vessels once ap-
preached with ease, but which now APP
proach the waters edge. Harbor sur
veys are shallower they were even
decade ago. This is not due to the
gradual deposit of earth brought down
by rivers, as some may suppose, nor to
the refuse Of city sewers. The harbor
Of Toronto has almost ceased 10 be of
use, despite the fact that it has been
dredged out to the permanent bottom
rock.
All the dredging that can be done in
New York harbor has failed to perma-
nently deepen it. The growing shallow

and, like the outlet to lake Champlain,
which was once nayigated by Indian
canoes at all seasons. the upper Hudson
