Mountains Disappearing.

NJ. de Lapparent, the eminent pro-
fessor of geology at the institute of
Paris, in paper read before the Scien-
tifc Catholic congress, expressed the
opinion that all mountains will vanish
Off the face of the earth in course Of
time. He declared that, if the actual
natural forces at work upon our globe
retain their present intensity, in four
and q half million years all inequali-
ties of surface will be levelei. lie in
stancei as q striking example the re-
duction of the Ardcnnes, which were
once n chain of the Alps, but which
had already shrunl to their present
Dimensions at the outset of the tertiary
epoch. The Alps, he said, eXemplifed
the youth, the Pyrenees the maturity,
and the mountains of Provence the de.
clining years of mountain ranges,
while the central plateau of France
was typical of their death and dissolu-
ton. He adduced other arguments in
support Of his thesis-namely the lev
cling of the earths surface in given
number of cycles-and paid an eloquent
tribute to the labors of the biologists
who read the records of life upon the
earth before the advent of man.

THE LESSON OF HARD TINES.

THE LESSON OF HARD TINES.
| 1t may be that the hard times have
Taught the Southern people a valu.
able lesson, worth quite as much to
them in the future ss they have cost
them in the past Is months. Long
credits In The South made the trans.
action of business rather careless and
not according to the strict lines o.
business. Credit ia good thirg. 1t
enables men of integrity and business
capacity to do business for themselves
who otherwise could not on account
OF the want of capital. IF there was
no credit in business, capital would
monspolize it altogether, but credit
to merchants is very different thing
to credit by them TO their customers
gene rally. A months credit by the
merchant ia really no credit at all but
q matter of convenience sometimes to
10th parties, hut the hard times have
taught men not to give credit so pro-
misciously and for such long time.
A farmer is an exception. He needs
credit until his crops mature and he
will always find merchants ready in
their vernacular TO "csrIy him. for
that time, but promiscuous and long
credits ipjure business habits and the
merchants have had pounded into
them by the hard times that they are
exceedingly imprudent and danger
Gus. They will be more careful hereaf-
Ger and more definite in the time given
to their customers. The lesson will
prove very profitable to merchants,
aad the adoption by merchants Of
more strict business habits will teach
people generally better business hao-
its. They will soon learn that it pays
to be prompt, and that their credit,
even for a limited time, depends upon
prompt payments, and the result will
be in short time that thorough bust.
ness habits will be established all
ever the South. The Northern mer.
chant has also learned that quick
sales at small profit are much better
than holding goods long time for
larger profits. Even now that idea
seems to have obtained among our
merchants. They have also expe-
rienced keener rivalry for custom,
and their eagerness for quick sales Is
manifested In the advertising colum n 8
of ThB STATESMAN. They begin to
recognize the fact that they are not In
the swim at all unless their business
and goods and specific offers are mad e
known through our columns. The
merchants ofAustin have been rather
slow to fiud this out but they are find
ing 1t out by the pressure of the time e
and the successful rivalry by
the pursuit of a course
of advertising by the rivals and they
are rapidly following suit. That is
exactly IS it ought to be. 1t encnur.

their paper to give them as good cr

lesson which will he OF advantage 10

Mr.. EDITOR: Will you allow me to give an
explanation of the mistake made in Antony s.
letter of last week, concerning the entertain
ment given at Mr.. q. e. Curtiss' schoolhouse,
ON the evening of March 26th. Antony" calls
it a ''School Entertainment" and quite gen.
eral impression prevails that it was arranged
by Mr.. Curtiss and family. The affair was
planned and carried out by ladies and gentle
men from Baltimore, with the assistance OF
friends in Hartford. Mr.. Curtiss generously
gave his school room to be used without any
restrictions and also gave the kindest and
most efficient help. To him and all his family
the managers and performers return sincere
and hearty thanks for their kind consideration
in procuring the necessary fund required to
place an afflicted old lady i'll the Home for
Aged Women The lady is IA years old, has
lost all her family, and is so crippled she can
hardly walk.
Her parents were wealthy Virginians: own
ed slaves and large estate. The war freed
the slaves and damaged the other property
Her parents died. The rest of her family soon
followed them. She had no business training.
The little that was left her she saved and used
as best she could, but she grew old and serious
illness came upon her, and left her famed for
life She lives alone, but is looked after by
friends belonging like herself to the Methodist
Church. Notwithstanding all her losses and
Affections. she is bright and cheerful; always
busy in trying to help others who are poor and
sick and in trying to take care of herself.
ANY who may wish to aid this worthy lady
will please send contributions, however small,
to the editor of The EgtS and receive the COM
fort of good act, and the warm thanks of
A FRIEND.

ANOTHER ELECTRIC RAILWAY Project
A bill was introduced in the House of
Representatives, on Monday, to incorporate a
continuous elevated electric railway from
Washington to New York, passing through
Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. IL built it would of course run
through Hartford county.
The road structure aud supports are to be
made of iron or steel, of sufficient size and
strength to permit the passage of cars over it at
the speed of 100 miles an hour. The roadway
is to be elevated, so that the tracks will be
two or more feet above the ground, and are to
be provided with one or more side rails at such
elevation as will reach above the floor and I'M
der the stills of the windows of the car, to pre-
vent derailment. The capital stock is fixed
at S15,0O0,0 900, which may be increased to
S25, 600, 900.
The schedule time for mail and passenger
cars is not to be less than one hundred miles
per hour and the charge for transporting
passengers is not to exceed two cents per mile
preamble to the bill recites that the propos-
ed elevated structure and roadway will require
but one-third of the land necessary for right
of way required for surface roads, will reduce
the time of transit one half, and afford greater
security of life.

Darling Walter you have left us.
In Il better home to dwell,
Taken from us by the Master,
Him who doeth all things well.
A precious one from us has gone,
\ voice we loved is Stiled;
A place is vacant i'll our home
Which never can be filled.
Home is sad. Oh, God how dreary,
Lonesome, lonely, every spot,
Listening for thy voice till weary;
Weary, for we hear it not.
IT'S hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart;
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Farewell Walter, farewell, dear,
No more on earth We meet thee here,
But with the loved one gone before
We hope to meet on Canaan's shore.

ABERDEEN, April "A hearty welcome was
extended to Rev Z. II. Lamar and family,
on Wednesday evening of last week, by repre-
sentatives of Bush and Smiths Chapel. The
number Of persons present Appropriated one
hundred, while the number of those who par
took of an elegant supper, which was served
by the ladies of the Mite Society, was exactly
sixty. The parsonage, which is located at
Aberdeen, is indeed thing of beauty, but
also, owing to the itinerant system in vogue
in the Methodist Church, it is not destined to
be joy forever. The ladies of the Mite So
cieties OF the circuit, DESTROYS of making the
preachers home as comfortable as possible,
have refurnished the parlor and hall with
handsome Brussels carpets.

in the East Hartford circuit. 1t is composed
of three churches, namely, Bush, Smith,
Chapel and Rock Run, all of which are within
a few miles of Aberdeen.

March Weather in 1894.

As the last was in many respects an interest
ing month, il seems to deserve Il passing notice.
The temperature of the 22d, 800 in the shade,
is higher than any temperature recorded for
March, us far back as 1871, beyond which my
record does not extend; but it is Al fact that
March of that very year gave IL higher mean
temperature by the fraction OF degree, than
than any March intervening. Mean tempera-
ture of March 1871, 1920; mean temperature
of the last month, 1879. Only for the last
cold week of the past month, when, on the
9th, the mercury sank to $50, it would have
been quite the warmest month of March on
record. Rainfall only 1.1O inches. Mean rain
fall for March 4.55 inches. G. g. G.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infam-
ed you have Il rumbiug sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nouhing but an in1iamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
