A Moving Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at the Cas-
cades of Columbia. 1t is triple peaked
mass of dark brown basalt, six or eight
miles in length where it fronts the Rivera
and rises to the height of almost 1000 feet
above the water. That it is in motion is
the last thought which would be likely to
suggest itself to the mind of any one passing
it, yet it is we'll established fact that this
entire mountain is moving slowly but stead
lily down to the river, as if it had deliberate
purpose some time in the future to dam the
Columbia and form great lake from the
Cascades to the Dalles. The Indian tradi-
tons indicate immense movements of the
mountains in that region long before white
men came to Oregon, and the early settlers
Immigrants many of them from New
England-gave the above described mount
ainOuS ridge the name of ''traveling' or
''sliding mountain"
In it's forward and downward movement
the forests along the base of the ridge have
become submerged in the river. Large
tree stumps can be seen standing deep in
the water on this shore. The railway engin-
GERS and the brakemen find that the line
of the railway which skirts the foot
of the mountain is being continually
forced out of place. At certain points
the permanent way and rails have been
pushed eight or ten feet out of line in few
years. Biologists attribute this strange
phenomenon to the fact that the basalt,
which constitutes the bulk of the mount
ain, rests on a substratum of conglomerate
or of soft sandstone, which the deep, swift
current of the mighty river is constantly
wearing away. or that this softer subrock is
of itself yielding at great depths to the enor-
nous weight of this harder mineral above. -

MRS. HENRY'S LETTER.

Toronto, Ontario, Oct. 4, 1891.
Dear Fellow Chautauquans This Sunday finds
me at hotel in this city simply waiting for the
day to pass that may continue my journey-and
so am afforded the time to write you. l have
kept sight of you and your work through THE
MIRROR. and the letters that have been sent by
individual MEMBERS and have not failed to think
of you in your little assembly Sunday after
noon since.I was with you-and always with hope
of your future.
Tomorrow is a wonderful day! No crime was ever
committed tomorrow. No evil unholy thing
ever came into it. 1t is clean-full of opportunity
of expectation, of possibilities. 1t may become
anything that any yesterday has been it may be in
fnitely more. Tomorrow in prison may be bet
ter sweeter than the past days out in the broad
world ever we're. All depends upon you men
each indi-' man. and your own deliberate
choice to-day. To-day makes the tomorrow, that
is. determines largely what it shall be. suppose
this will be read to you on Sunday the lsth-a good
many days in the future. Would that could fling
it over to you for this very afternoon. This Sun
day you are gathered in your circle with the ap
pearance at least of free men, with actual freedom
to elect what your to-morrows shall be, far
the real life Of the man goes; let me urge you to
the earnest consideration of those things that
that choice which shall make all things new for
you. In your reading you get glimpses of great
and good men, of high and heroic deeds, of arts
and Sciences all of which seem to belong to a
world with which you have nothing to do, from
which, some of you can but feel that you are cut
off forever. and, one has expressed himself to
me, it may seem like looking at the heavens
from the bottom of a mine" to try and bring them
into your own lives. But with the broad outlook
of the great future which is before you it will pay
to look steadily up to just the bit of heaven
that is brought within your range of vision in the
c. l.. s. C. readings, and try the wings of your
thoughts-the aspirations of soul and sprit-and
with all the power you can command. rse-be it
ever so little and at whatever the cost. Every
thing depends first on what you have before you
to think about. who and what your ideal is. No
man ever yet quite realized his ideal. If you take
Washington. in American history, you can never
be quite Washington. If you take science as your
ideal of truth, you will find your life and power
shortened to material limits. But if you take to day
AS Chautauquans-the Man Jesus, the Saviour
Christ your ideal character, His truth a your
truth His life your life-while you can never
become quite like him. the sinless One, yet you
will become more a man than could ever be &C.

THE MEETING LAST SUNDAY.


The meeting of the Chautauquans last Sunday
was conceded b. all to be the best that has
been held since the organization of the circle. 1t
was, strictly speaking the first held under the re-
vised constitution and bylaws and every thing
was carried out almost to the point of perfection
The Critic was unavoidably absent, but like the
grace of God wherever 1t falleth, his spirit was
there. The leaders of the several classes submit
ted reports on their respective current studies
and they were one and all of unusually high
order. Those from class and on "Sherman's
Ride to Atlanta and Social Institutions were
part icularly interesting and instructive. The en-.
thusiastic manner in which the former was re-
ceived clearly showed that though the members
may not be all native born they are Americans
to the hearts core.
warm discussion took place over the pronun-
citation of the German name Goethe One held that
1t should be pronounced Gothic with the full
cent on the o. Another, who seemed to know
something of the German tongue. maintained that
the oe should be accented and sounded as
softly; while an Irshman who was present insisted
that the proper pronunciation of the word is
'Goatee." Perhaps some kind German scholar
who strolls through the valleys where the winds
through the foliage of trees sing their anthems to
liberty, would oblige by addressing the secretary
of the c. L. S. c. here and decide the point at is

The beautiful letter from Mrs. Henry, synop.

will to that good lady whose life's service is de-
voted to the uplifting of her fellow mlitants of

is the reaching out after Him. the thoughts about
Him. the following His truth that has relieved op-
preston and misfortune and has alleviated in
some little degree the condition of those who are
in prison. You are indebted to Him for many
things that you have perhaps not yet discovered
by which you are in a better state than you would
have been if His truth had never been taught and
believed. Some of you will soon be going out
free. Thank God for that. Do you 60 tomorrow?
Then take care of that tomorrow. Keep the Christ
before you, think about Him. Ask yourself the
question, what would He do now if He were

believe He would do if He were in your shoes and
wearing your coat you will not be apt to get back

you as brother.

every one of you. God bless you.

New York. April 6.-An Ottawa dis
patch printed here this morning says
Further adyices received here indicate
that active preparations are going on IN
the United States among the Italian popu-
lation to revenge the murder of their
countrymen at New Orleans Yesterday
Antoine Scarpello, who was at one time
an officer in the Italian navy, and whose
name has already been mentioned in this
connection, received letter from q fellow
countryman in Portland, Me-, telling him
that he has five hundred Italians ready to
join in an attack upon New Orleans.
II appears that assistance IN the shape
of arms has been promised from Italy aud
that the leaders of the movement are
waiting for further information on this
point Scarpcllo thinks that nothing
should be done by the Malta until ii is
seen what action the Italian Government
intends taking in the matter He thinks
the Italian navy quite equal TO the emer-
gency, and would prefer TO have the ac-
count with the United States squared in
that way than to encourage any action on
the part of the resident Italians in the
United States and Canada. The slaughter
of his countrymen, he says, however will
not 60 unpunished. II the Italian Gov
ecrnment does not take the matter up the
Malta will.

A step Toward Popular elections.


Michigan is about to inaugurate new
method OF choosing Presidential electors
that is step toward popular elections for
President and Senator's Under the funda-
mental law of the nation, each State may
adopt its own method of choosing Presi-
Dental electors Sever States chose their
electors by the legislature in olden times,
and South Carolina continued it until the
late civil war.
The method about to be adopted by
Michigan, that has already passed the
House and is next to certain to pass the
Senate, provides for the election of a
Presidential Elcctor by popular vote in
each Congressional district, leaving only
two to be elected by the State at large.
This would divide the electoral vote Of
Michigan at all times. and probably give
the Democrats a majority in 1892 even If
the popular majority was Republican, as
the inevitable Congressional gerrymauder
comes in along with the new Electoral
bill
This Is only a step toward elections bv
the people and we shall be glad t0 see the
movement progress until United States
Senators ball be chosen by the direct
vote of the people in each State. and Pre--
idcIt, aud Vice Presidents elected by a
direct vote OF the people Oi the nation.
