Tug Connecticut election returns
show the success o;
.the whole Repub
lican ticket, together with a Repub
lican majority in both brunches of
the Legislature. Jewell (Rep.) for
Governor lilts a pleurality of 2,074,
and a majority over all of 283.
IT is rumored and pretty generally
believed that ex-Governor Curtin,
General J. K Moorhead. 'Col• A.
K, McClure, Judge Pettis, Darwin
Phelps, George JI. Irwin, J. M. Mc-
Clure, and Gen. Joseph Cake intend
to represent Pennsylvania in the Cim.
nati Convention in May,„
Goy-. GEARY and Secretary of State,
Francis Jordan, were before the
Evan' investigating Committee last
:saturday, and both testified that
they never received one dollar from
Ev.ari!., directly or indirectly, out of
the money collected for the State
from the General Government, nor
d id they know who shared the plun
der with Evans:
LAST Friday, a week ago, Mr. Mc-
Creary, from the contuaittee on elec
tions reported a resolution to pay
Mr. Cessna, the unsuccessful contes
tant for the Congressional seat from
the Sixteenth district, $4,480 as his ac
tunl and reasonable expenses. Mr.
McCreary stated that the committee
had required Itemized accounts ander
stth. and that the sum allowed Mr.'
..f.t-,sna was $1,400 less than the amount
presented. Theresolution wasadopt
ed. The amount paid to unsuccessful
vontestants at the last Congress
amounted to $11:3,000.
EX-GOVERNOK CURTIN, we under
stand, is on hitt way home from the
court of St. Petersburg,on leavenfab
sence. The President is reported as
having state oto a Pen nsy ania -Sen
ator recently that he thought Govern
or Curtin would resign his commis
sion and stay at home. The friends of
the Governor say that he will be a
candidate - for the Vice Presidency,
and that he will take an active part
,in the coming Presidential campaign.
lie will, no doubt, act with the 'Re
publicans in Pennsylvania who favor
reform and an honest administration
of municipal and State government.
As far :is is known the relations be
tween governor Curtin and the Pres
ident are entirely cordial, and it
ma)- be safely assumed that his eon
templuteNl resignation as United
States minister was brought about
wholly through a desire on his part
to return home. The mission to
Russia has.been raised to one of the
first class in pOint of pay as well as
dignity, tied there will no doubt be
numerous applications for it. It is
too stain, however, to speculate on
Governor Curtin's successor,
Frtoxr present appearances there
will toto no lack of candidates for Gov
ernor in either party at their coming
conventions. Among the names,
prominently presented by the Re
publiCans, are those of Ketehunk,
Hartranft, White, Jordan, Kemble,
Packer, Graham and Coleman. The
Democrats announce Messrs. Cass,
Buckelew and Wallace. Cass ap
pears to be altogether the most prom
inent. The Oil men have put for
ward the name of General McCal
mont for Governor, independent of
party. A heavy push is being made
by certain Republican papers for the
nomination of Hartranft, and it looks
now as though he had the chances
in his favor. Any one of the others
named would suit us as well under
existing circuMstances. We want a
man without spot or suspicion of
blemish to be our standard-bearer in
the next campaign. If the Demo
craLs present a good man, it will take
our hearty and united strength to beat
him. We must nominate our stron
gest man--one who can, not only
command the entire vote of his var_
ty, but make inroads into the ranks
of the Democracy. Walt such a one
nominated for Governor—with all
party averitif-s thrown in the shade
—we calm carry this State next fall.
Imprialf•nt action by the State Con-
vention may endanger the result.—
The people of all ilarties are detc:r
ntink•ti upon reform in public affairs ,
arid that deterinitirtion must be re
'•pt•cterr, or we will no Imager be in-,
tru-teti with priN,
IT will be seen by our legislative
reports that the senate investigating
committer , in the McClure-Gray case,
reported in favor of the former, and
that he has been sworn iii and taken
his seat. The minority of the com
mittee reported. in favor of Gray.
We advocated the iuveatigltLiuu into
alleged frauds which took place
At the special election in Philadelphia,
joist as we would have done had the
ease been roversed, and Gray the
contestant instead of the defendant.
iloth were Itepubliisins, but it was
determined by a "ring" that McClure
should lie - counted out ; " and
through the instrumentality of bul
lies and hallot-stutling, this object
was accomplished. It is gratifying
to know that the law has been vin
dicated, rascality rebuked, and the
voice of the people of that
lAistrict respected. If we cannot
triumph without fraud, intimidation
and ballot-stutling we ought to be
defeated. 3 , 1 r. McClure Voted with
his party on the appropriation bill,
as he will on all proper legislation.
There was a persistent determination
tnanitested on the part of such mem
bers as feared injury to their political
schemes in the event of McClure's
oveupanty of Gray's seat in the Sen
ate—to prevent an investigation in
the first instanci% They refused to
draW a committee under the old law;
but, by persistent and determined ef
fort on the ilart of those who wished
justice in th'Ktnises, a bill was pas
r,ed
,eventua •to cover the case, and
a Committee obtained. It was them
determined if possible to prevent the
e , om mittee from closing itti investig,a
lion liefore the final adjournment of
the Present Legislature, in all of
whien the ring was %%anguished, and
the result is as above stated.
Tit v. investigation of the sales of U.
S. arms to the French during the late
hostilitic between that government
and Prussia is still progrestig, I t has
thus far been develorieil that, when
it was aseertnitied that Itetnington
was the agent of the Preneh
men t, -ale.. were discontinued to hill'.
but that delivery of arms and inuni
t tows of War had been made on board
of Fre . employees of the
U. S. utivernment after it was known
tnat they were for use of the French- ,
This fact, however, was notptilelanY
known to the war department. The -
testimony of Senator Patterson, on
Tuesday last disclosed the fact that
the President knew all about the mat
-1 ter long ago; that he ( Patterson) . was
advised by at keit one Adroit:lien a
, don Senator, that he ought to corn
' municate to the President the facts
that had come to - his . knowledge,
which he did. Senator Sumner was
invited to appear before the commit
tee and testify; he declined, and sub_
milted an exhaustive protest—con
clusive as to law and precedent—
against the right of a commi l tee, con
stituted as that (me was, to summon a
Senator before them to testify, and
agitin'St the legality of the committee
for investigation—a majority of its
members being opposed to the itt ves_
ligation. lie showed conclusively
that no person who had spoken '
against a resolution of inquiry, or
voted against it, should be placed up-
lon , the committee. This was the.
parliamentary rule observed in all
Legislative bodies both in Europe
and America; mislaid down in our
legislative manuals. Parliamentary
law alwaya seeks those for a com
mittee who care for the investigation
and believe there is occasion for it.
Mr. Jefferson said, "when any mem
ber who is 'against the bill hears him
self named on the committee he
should ask to be excused." This - is
the language of the manual used in
the Senate. Yet, in violation of this
rule, and of all precedent, this corn
ruittge had been constituted of mem
berk'hostile to the investigation.
A peremptory summons was is
sued commanding Mr. Sumner to
appear and testily before the comm it
tee on the following day, to which he
responded under protest. lie stated
how he got his information and the
Motives which induced him to bring
the matter before the Senate; and,
although he did not receive commu
nications directly from French agents
he would not think it improper to
have done so, when the honor and
dignity of his country was assailed
by the improper conduct of govern
ment officials.
ON Thursday last a Delegation from
Texas called on the President in re_
lation to the Mexican depredations
on the frontier. They represented
that recently a party of forty regular
Mexican troops in uniform, crossed
the Rio' Grande at a paint above
Brownsville, arrested the United
States customs Inspector, together
with a number of citizens, and held
them until! they had missed into
Mexico, and drove off 500 or,t;00 sto
len cattle. It was further represen
ted that depredations on stock alone
by raiders iron Mexico into Texas in
the last six years will reach from six
to ten million dollars in value, and
the
,system of brands prevailing; in
Texas will enable the sufferers to
establish legitiMate claims against
Mexico froin various county rkeards.
The President replied that the sub
ject bad been one of frequent com
munication to the Mexican Govern
ment, which would no doubt willing
; ly afford relief, but seemed power
erless, while internal revolutions I
continued in the northern, States of
Mexico. The cmninereialC phases of
the question were also discussed, and
it was suggested that the
, order of
the 'S..cretary of the Treasury pro
hibiting the clearance ofvessels from
points above Brownsville was a vir
tual blockage of the Rio Grande, and
therefore illegal. The President took
notes of the conversation, and prom
.ised to bring al) the questions before
the Cabinet. The detention subse
quently called on the Secretary of
the Treasury on the coninercia I ques
tions involved. The Secretary ad
mitted that the order was of ques
tionable legality, and unless it was
made the subject of an Executive
order, the -order front the Treasury
Department will be revoked.
Tit E Chicago relief bill finally pas- 1
sect .both Houses of Cong,ress_iiist 1
Thursday, with a single amendment 1
excepting lutther. To conciliate the
Michigan and Wisconsin opposition,
it was the understanding that an
amendment should be matte to the
bill, extending its benefits so as to !
take in the burnt districts of thcise, :
,s, I
States. This intendment was rMt
suggested, however, but instead Mr. ;
Farwell offered an amendment ex- 1
eepting lumber, as above stated. In i
this shape the bill went through the i
; House without opposition, and in
fifteen minutes thereafter was taken
over to the Senate and passed In the
same manner. It is explained by
thine having the hill in charge that
! the omission of lumber had become,
positively neets. , sary to its success.—
Ta k i ng the but test vote in the House,
it had but fifteen majority. The en
euiies of the bill were busy in mak
ing combinations against it, and the
antagonism of various special Inter
(sits atfibeted by the bill was becoming
stronger each day. Before Dawes
could get to the floor to report, the
House had already adopted the mo
tion to adjourn until Monday, and
the Scott-Garrett railroad interest
bid fair M monopolize the attention
for sonic time to come; and further,
the Saginaw delegation of lumber
men had agreed to furnish to Chica
go as much lumber as the city want
ed fur building purposes at one dollar
per thousand cheaper than the :ear
ket prices for the last year. Farwell,
L igan and other friends of the bill,
in consideration of all the above facts,
concluded to make this compromise',
:which was agrees] to by both the
Michigan and W isconsin delegations,
and the bill,wtts then rushed through
without either further comment or
op position.
THE Revolution in Mexico is on
the eve of col loose s t° judge by our dis
patch, which speaks of nothing but
disastrous detest lately sustained by
the revolutionists. 'lndeed, so com
plete was the-victory often. Rocha,
and so crushing was therollapse of the
revolutionists near Zacatecas, that
the fate of the whole struggle ap
pearsio have been decided in that
one battle, which is generuly looked ,
upon as the death-blow to the revo
lution. But there is little hope that
the failure of the rebellion will put
an end:tii the prtent reign of anarchy
and red-handed robbery In the unfor
tunate republic ; for Mexico cannot
he ruled by Mexicans.
t will afford sweeter ,hantd
nesk ' the :hour of death to have
wiped one tear from the cheek - of
sorrow, than to haveruled an empire,
I , ‘ t'onlitier millions, or to have en
slaved the world.
IREIMAND TIIERE.
—"Be who thinks that a party can
hold its supremacy In a government
which is run by men like Crinkling,
- Ztforton, Carpenter, Chandler, and•
is;ye, with statesmen like Sumner,
'Trumbull and Schurz protesting and
prescribed, must be more sanguine
than the average of people." So says
a Boston correspondentiof the HMI:

—lnvalids
, are advised to go to
Florida bans they can enjoy more
fresh air and exercise than in this
climate, and go about less cumbered
with clothing; and the latest news
from Jacksonville shows that none
of these advantages are overrated.
In a balmy breeze that sprung up
there last week - free ventilation was
assured by most of the roofs being
blown off, end promenaders out of

fifty miles an hour, and in several
instances completely divested of ap

—We have heard of "Moral Sua

distinguished doctor befog Invited to
lecture on Temperance, in Boston,
promises to do so,and says in his letter
of reply: 'Physiological Suasion Is the
argument I employ, endeavoring to
show ,that alcohol twmot from its
very nature and process of production
be useful in building up any of the
tissues of ,the human body." "Physl
°logical Suasion" is good; but it would
be better it men and women generally
had the slightest reverence for their
own ,fearful and Avonderful bodies.
—The Germans in Wisconsin ore
agitated over the temperance bill just
passed by the Legislature of that
State making drunkennesss a crime.
Their objections, like those of their
brethern in Illinois, arise, we think,
out of misapprehension of the intent
of the law-I-certainly they contradict
the frequent and generaly well found
ed boast that Germans are not given
to intoxication. The new laws do
not seek to prevent them from enjoy
ring their wine and beer, and the Ge-
mans certainly will not claim tha
they object to efforts to prevent beast
ly intoxication,
—The Secretary of War has just is
sued a iircular requiring all Post tra
ders to reside habitually at the sta
tion. and ordering a council of ad
ministration to regulate the prima at
which goods are to be sold. Traders
are also forbidden to assignor sub-let
post or other privileges. In ease
they feel aggrieved by the council,
traders can appeal to the War De
partment. Present incumbents who
do not reside at the post are expected
to vacate their appointment within
ninety days trotn the date of the cir
cular reaching the post. This order
will go far towards remedying a
number of extortionate abuses to
which the soldiers of the army have
heretofore been stibjected.
—A St. ',outs woman hearing tha
the boarding house of her lover was
in flames, and that he was in an up

frantically to the spot, seized a bid

treaties of her friends. Agilely as
cending, she soon dislippeared amid
the smoke and flame which envelop
ed the windows of his fourth-story
oom. A breathless silence fell on
the multitude below, but soon the
brave girl reappeared with her gar

—The Baltimore Sun has received

others, that the Arnold family at
that place were poisoned by the in

The SituatiOn In Connecticut.
I New Haven, Ct., March D.—Both
Republicans and Democrats express
confidence in their' ability to elect
the Governor I y a popular vote, and
to carry- both branches of the Legis-
Lure.
Theranvass of the Republican State
Committee shows a fair gain over
their vote last year,and they saw that
the indicutions are more favorable
than a year slum_
They estimate the temperance vote
at less than 500, but admit it may be
larger—perhaps large enough to
throw the election of Governor into
the Legislature. Gov. Jewell's re
election is estithaterl-by the 'Repub.
beans generally by from 500 to 1,000
majority if their full vote is polled.—
, The loss of one, perhaps two, Repub.
limn Scans tors is anticipated. The
Democrats admit tliat t heir vote will
(anoint/ New Haven and Hartford but
claim a large increase in smaller cities
and country towns, and think the
temperance vote will help them ma
terially. The strength or the J.,abor
Reform party is unknown,uo figures
having been made: nut many predict
that the result of Temperance and
Labor Reforrii will injure. , the Dem
ocrats more than the Republicans.

lb Col. William M. Grosvenor, Chair

the Liberal Republican Convention
of Missouri, Washington, D. C.
Sin; We, Republicans of New
York, wish to express our concur
rence In the principal lately set forth
by the Liberal Republicans of 'Mis
souri.
' We make this departure from the
ordinary methods of party action
from a deep conviction that the or
ganization to which we belong is un
der the control of those who will use
it chiefly for personal purposes, and
obstruct a free expression of opinion
upon the Important matters which
the gentleman whom you represent
have laid before the people of the
Unite States.
We believe that the time has come
when the political offenses of the past
should be pardoned; that all citizens
should he protected in the enjoyment
of the rights guarantee -to them by
the Constitution; that Federal taxa
tion should be imposed for revenue,
and so adjusted as to make the burden
upon the industry of the country as
light as pasible; that a reform in the
Civil Service should be made which
will relieve political action from the
Influence of official patronage ; that
the right of local self-government,
the foundation of American freedom,
should ho re-asserted, and the en
croachmeuts of Federal power check
ed; and we also believe at this time
a special duty rests upon the people
to do away with &Irruption in office.
The exposures recently made in
this State have brought to light evils
which are not.conflned to one party,
nor to a single locality, and disclose
dangers more formidable than any
which the Republic has yet encoun
tered.
With the hope that the movement
begun in Missouri may spread

SAN FaANOtsco, March 2g.—A
Bulletin dispatch to-day from Geniis,
Nevada, says 4 - gentleman-from I ligtts
county, California, where the earth
quake on Tuesday morning centered,
reports camp Indepedence complete
ly in ruins. The Court Howse was
destroyed, and not a single adobe or
brick building standing from Bishop
to Indepencirnee. Fears are enter
tained for other mining camps fur
ther in the SiOras. Mrs. West, resi
ding near Independence was severely
injured, and her, child killed Stage
passengers Toport several fissures a
mile in length, fifty to two hundred
feet witlO and twenty deep opened
along the eastern base of the Sierra
Nevadas, near Big Pine ('amp. In
other places in the vicinity the ground
is heaved up in great ridges. Large
springs have stopped running and
othr-rs broke out. Heavy snow slides
ocleu red on the iierras and large rocks
rolled down the mountain sides,
blocking up the stage roads. The
shocks lasted at intervals from 3:'+u
to 6:30 A. M. At Aurora, Nev., no
damage was done, and at Belmont
Nevada only a mill Machine thrown
down, That section abounds with
evidences of recent volcanic action;
I but no such earthquake was felt be
fore within the memory of Indians.
Many of the people of Independenee
were hurt, but no lives lost. The
shocks were heaviest southeastward
toward Arizona.
Here is a painful piece of lute!.
ligence. The Boston Transcript,
speaking of the great irregularities
which prevail in too many of our in
stitutions of it-arning,, say: "An in
nocent freshman at one of the colleges
at which sex is ignored has written
to his mother that he has been so
hazed by some thoughtie's sepho
mores of the (male persuasion that
his studies have been sadly interrupt
td." We sincerely hope that this is
a sandal. An increase of order,. po
liteness, regularity, and refinement
in University life has been promised
asone of the charming results of open
ing the colleges to the lassies. We
were to have no.more "hazing," nor
hen-stealing, no more shaving of the
President's horse, nor tampering
with the chapel belt, and none of the
venerable little misdemeanors in
which the ingnuous young gentle
men have fur So many generations
found delight.: All these were to he
rendered obsolete, not to say repul
sive, through the gentle influence of
the fresh-women and other studious
virgins—but The Transcript's story
blights all our golden anticipations.
And worse than all,we have 311 alarm
ingsuspicion that even freshmen will
not ohjeet to untimely visits of the
"hazing" description from . their
loVely associates, nor sot:hotnoras nor
juniors. Human nature is sometimes
highly discouraging.

INIMCI
The Mistiest of all Goid !Nelda.
It has only recentlyt.kiten discover
ed what almost inexhaustible Min
eral wealth the soil of Eastern Sibe
rat:conceals, and that in the district
Of the river Amour, Russia possesses
a gold field explorers of those parts
are inclined to consider the richest in
the world.
“old washing and gold digging
are going on in the tributaries of tote
Russo-Chinese frontier streams and
their valley, and repay the persons
employed in it so ahuutlantly that
laborers earn from fifty to one hun
dred aud fifty roubles in silver per
day, and minpanies of diggers on the
titikalouta find, as a rule, from sev
, en to eight, hut in some eases as much
:as seventy and even one hundred
pounds of gold per day. The river
I Sega is still more productive, and
has yielded to one company one hun
dred and seventy pounds in one day.
These two rivers are the richest, but
by no means tee only gold-producing
tributaries of the Amour. Geologista
have found that the Tablona Moun
tains, from which the river Sege
springs, contain various kinds of
mineral treasures—gold, silver, and
especially great U 3 H B SeS (4 iron , which
promise in , time to secure to Russia
an extensive and renutnerative Iron
manufacture. To make these treas
ures available for Western industry,
a company has been started at St.
Petersburg, working partly with En
glish capital, to navigate the Amour
with the regular steamer service.
The enterprise is not. however, to
he confined to this one object, forAhe
company hope, in the Morse of time,
to open a profitable trade with Chi
na and Japan, and expect later on to
command the trade with the Wes
tern coast of North America
„, tee” The singular phenomenon of
g shower of worms, apparently fall
frig with the snow during a storm,
was observed at Somerville, Mass.,
March 19, and specimens were sent to
the Museum of Comparative Zoology
at Cambridge, Mass. The worms are
reported to be the lame of a particu
lar family of beetles. The earliest
novice of siinhar extraordinary ap
pearances of insects during snow
storms was given in 1673, when the
phenomenon was observed in Hun
gary, and sins e that date reports of
these singular showers in Sweden,
Germany and the mountainous parts
of France have been recorded. These
appearances of worms and living in
sects occur in winter, when there
have been several warm days in sue
_cession. followed 1?y a snow storm.
The phenomenon has never been sat
isfactorily ex plaired. One theory is
that the insects hive been carried up
into the upper al- by violent gales
prevailing before the snow storm.
Another theory ii that the insects are
attracted by the ~Intl) to the sur
face of the earth, and then being coy
ered tightly by thulium, stiliendeav
or to crawl throupt it.
tom - Brave in al things, Prince Ris
mark has taken resolutely by the
torus the rellgiots dilemma which
puzzles so many English Premiers,
The German Chaim=llor, in a letter
f instructions to (punt Tau ffic rehen ,
German Ambassador at Rome, says
that the new Itwerial Goverment
views with displetsure the religious
agitation in HouthGermany, on the
Rhine, and in Polmd, but that the
powers at isertin hive determined to
guard the rights d the Goverment
and protect ilbety of conscience
against the dements of the Ultra
montanists. This - bold declaration
wilt in all probability put an end to
the noisy religious discussions now
isturbing many portions of Germa
ny. There is•certainty no good rea
son why the Roman Catholics and
Protestants of Germany should not
live together as amicably as do their
religious bretheru in the free and tol
erant United States.
. agL.We never heard of such a thing
before. A fight between two Meth
odist ministers ! It was in Ply
mouth, 0. The scene of the rencou
tre was a druggist's shop. The par
ties were the Rev. Messrs. Newbold
and Giiray—the cause, that N. owed
0. $4 and that demand was made for
payment of the same. N. said that
he payed it, and G. called him a liar.
Then one charged the other with }Di
scoing that the former lived with a
Woman who was not his wife. A
beautiful chance was presented for a
pugilistic convulsion, and at it the
pious pair went. This is not stnus
mg, but the grave comment of the
local:editor is,for he says: "Much as we
regret the circumstances, and friend
ly as we feel to both parties, we can
but severely deprecate the conduct of
both when we take into -considera•
tion that each should carry himself
so as to be a moral guide in the com
munity"---an assertion the truth of
which no human being in the full
possession of his intelectual faculties
will be bold enough to gainsay.
The American Italy.
The New York correspondent,
writing from Jacksonville. - Florida,
calls the State "The Italy of Amer
ica►." He says: It is quite as correct
as that of " The Switzerland of
America," as applied by newspaper
correspondents to,Colorado. In the
first place the Floridian sky is a ser
enely blumthe bays and Likes as pel
lucid, scenery as enchanting, and the
climate as soft and delicionsas in Ita
ly, Then there is an ancient town
of great interest, which will do to
keep up the historical and archteolog
ical. Then, iitAltin. the country is
fast becoming4the favorite of thous
ands of Invalids and pleasure-seekers
and St. Augustine is almost as well
patronized as Nice. Other resemblan
ces might be drawn, the most strik
ing being the geographical shape of
the State, which is remarkably like
that of the Italian peninsula. I must
not omit to mention that visitors here
as in Italy, will not be at a loss for
relks and souvenirs to , take home
with them.
All kinds of beautiful palmetto
work is done by the Minoreans of St.
Augustine. Every lady visitor pos
sesses herself of a palmetto hat, adorn
ed with trimmings made of corn
shucks, sugar cane tassels, and na
tive grasses. Alligators, teeth fash
ioned into tiny whistles for the watch
chain, and sea beans elaborately pol
ished and suitable for charms and
lockets, are sold in the . storms. On
the upper St. John's a fine selection
of bird's feathers may be had of the
pedters. Curious shells, sponges,
mosses and lichens are the products
of the beaches and the sea. Canes
cut from the Orange tree and mount
ed are plentiful., The coquina stone
a concrete of myriads of minute shells,
of which the old fort and many of
the St. Augustine buildings are con
structed, is odd and worth sampling.
The negro boys on the St, Johns have
paroquets and infant alligators for
sale. The latter are (musty about fif
teen inches long, and being without
teeth are not dangerous. En thusias
t icgreenhorns invest in the-e-.ingular
pets without hesitation, but before
they are half way home pitch them
into the water in disgust.
A Continent Covered With lee
Prof. Agassiz comes to the conclu
sion that the continent Of North
America was once covered with ice
for a mile in thickness, t hereby agree
ing with Prof. Hitchcock, and other
eminent geological writers concern
ing the glacial period. In proof i f
this conclusion, he says that the
slopes of the Allegheny range of
mountains are glacier-worn to the
very top, except a few points which
were above the level of the icy mass.
Mount Washington, for instance, is
over six thousand feet high, lnd the
rough, unpolished surface of its sum
mit. covered with loose fragments,
just below the level of which glacier
marks come to an end, tells that it
lifted its bead alone above the deso
lute waste of ice and snow.
In this; region, then, the thickness
of the ice cannot have been, mu c h l ess
than stx thousand feet. and this is in
keeping with the same kind of evi
dence in other parts of the country;
for when the mountains are much
below six thousand fee,t, the ice seems
to have passed directly over them,
while the few peaks rising to that
height are untouched. The glacier,
he argues, was God's great plough,
and when the ice vanished from the
ace of the land, it left it prepared
for the hand of the husbandman.
The hard surface of the rocks were
ground to powder, the elements of
the soil were mingled in fair propor
tions, granite was carried into lime
regions, lime was mingled with the
more arid and unproductive granite
districts, and a soil was prepared fit
for the agricultural uses of man.—
There are evidences all over the pop
ular regions to show that at one pe
riod the heat of the tropics extended
all over the globe. The ice period is
supposed to be long subsequent to
tlik, and nest to the lust before the
advent of titan.
