Tho following is from the pen of Dr. Hall, in the February number of Halls Journal of Health : Hie science of medication, a3 far a9 t has become a science is beautifully simple and carries with it, to the houjmtful and logical mind, a hicli degree ot interest, which the reader may presently eee. All disease may be founded in an unequal distribution of the blood, while Jt3 equilibrium is essential to hi?h health and manly vigor. "While it is true that too much blood at a particular part of the body, causes a diseased condition of that part such as head-ache if in the head, the same amount of blood may give two diller ent diseases, or two very different symptoms or manifestations, accord- m to the set of vessels which contain that excesa of blood, whether artery or vein. Many know the difference between a dull, heavy, depressive head-ache which invites repose, and the sharp piercing pain which makes sleep an impossibility; between the burning feet in some form 3 of dyspepsia, which makes standing on the snow a perfect uxury, and tlie cold, clammy sweat of cholera consumption. he blood is distributed through the body through the veins and arteries, and where there is an artery there must be a vein. The blood flows through the veins like a slow steady river; but through the arteries like the dashing waters. hen there is too much blood in the veins, it is called 'congestion," because it packs, it gorges, it dams up ; when there is too much In the arteries t is called "inilammation," because It fires up the parts, makes them hot, red, flame-like. , V hen the veins of a part are too full, here is a dull pain, and the color is uclined to be a black red ; when the arteries are too full, there is a fierce quicii darting pain, ana a riery ap pearance. Disease being the breaking upof the equilibrium of the blood, whatever las a tendency to restore that equili brium, to withdraw the blood from he overstocked part, promotes health to that extent. Although the very last part to die, death In a sense, begins at the heart, by its not being able to relievo itself at a given beat, of all the blood that is in it ; the next beat ana there is a greater surplus, and with that, less lower to distribute tne vital uuia to the extremities of the fingers, feet, and 6kln ; then they begin to grow clam my, and cold, and death -like. But if, almost in the article of death, any great physical or inental shock; can be imparted, by which the heart shall bound wltn a superhuman ttiroo, ana clear itself of its entire contents' life is saved. The devoted and Indefatigable mis sionary Durfco was dyingof low fever, the cold extremities, the fixed eye, the abored breathing, all showed that the powers of life were rapidly wasting away although a loud voice would arouse him to conciousncss. This suggested to the physician that if the heart could be relieved of its load of blood, if the equilibrium of the circu- ation could be for a moment restored, he might be saved. He was placed on the floor, and buckets of water poured upon the bodyfrom the hight of a man. He seemed to wake from a heavy sleep or dream ; the circulation was re-established, natural warmth restored, the voice became asclear and the mind as active as in health he fondled his youngest child, and. for a while all seemed hopeful, but nature had lost her recuperative power, had not strength enough to sustain herself and he gradually pined away. A poor old woman who had been ridden for years with the rheumatism, when being left alone one day, she waked up to And the house on fire, with one bound she leaped from her couch, ran as fast as any body, and thereafter could walk as well as others of her age. It is related of a celebrated physician that was iourneyingoneday, he heard that a lady was dying of low fever and greatly desired to see him, as they had not met since childhood, when they were very dear friends. On the instant of entering the chamber he clapped his hands joyously and excla imed, The Eagles Is est and she liv ed. They spent many happy hours of school time around the eagle's nest, and all the associations coming back upon her in an instant, caused a shock which other means were powerless to produce. W ithin a short time, a young man named Joseph Wheeler, of New Or leans, who had been deaf and dumb for four years, in consequence of some sickness, sauntered unto a cannon's mouth, without any one noticing it, the match was applied, when it was too late to snatch liim away. He fell down as if dead, but presently came to himself speaking as fluently as he ever did, and answering all questions put to him, to the great wonderment of the bystanders. Pasliunce of Job. Everybody is In the habit ov braggin on Job ; he did have konsiderable bile pashunce, that's a fact ; but did he ever keep a districk skule for 8 dollars a month and board round, or run a kountrv newspaper. Did he ever reap lodged oats down hill on a hot day. and have all his gallus buttons bust off at once ? Did he ever have the jumpin teein- ake and be mado to tend the baby while his wife was over to Larkinses to a tea narty? Did ho ever get up In the mornin, awful dri and turf it three miles before brcakfustto git a drink, and find that the man kep a temperance house t Did he ever undertake to milk a kickin heifer with a bushy tail iu fli time, out iu the lot? Did he ever set on a litter of kittens in the old rockin chair, with his summer pantaloons on ? If he can do all these things, and praze the Lord at the same time, all that I have to say lz, "Bully for Job," Josh Billings. The Country Gentleman, says if the fcriitpmrnta nlxmt crafting made in a recent Field are true, "we may have to believe the story told us some voars n?o as to the origin or the reach Blowpotatoe. A gentleman assured us that he orlginatea me variety m thiswav: He cut two potatoes one the Merino Bed and the other the Car- f0r(Uf tho halves oi ono to ine other nicely, and bound them to geth cr witli ttnnn.

We. could not then credit the story, and if any of readers can now n-5v no thn. tniA historv and origin of the Peach Blow, wc will bo glad see it." to BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA, Indian Disturbances on tlie Republican and Utile IJltie Ilivers. In order to forestall exaggeration and stop the thousand and one rumors circulated to the detriment of the whole State, in regard to recent Indi an raid, through a portion of Jefferson county, wre give below a plain unvarn- shed statement of lacts, as we have gathered them from participants in the fighting, and from reliable.parties living in that section. The correct ness of the statement cannot be doubt ed, and wc publsh nothing that can not be substantiated by the testimony of Inteligent and truthful men. A party of seven whites living on Rose Creek, having gone out on a bufialo hunt, were attacted on some of tributaries of the Republican at a point South of the head wsters of Elk Creek, on the 25th of May. by about thirty Indians, and two of the whites killed. Two brothers are missing aud the balance escaped. -The names of the killed are Mace Kellogg aud Preston. On tlie 27th of May the Indians, traveling in a Northerly direction. crossed the head waters of Elk Creek, moved down in a Southeasterly direc tion between Elk and Liberty Creek, came up with a party of seven whites, from Turkey Creek, and attacking at ong range, a running fight ensued which lasted for several miles, tho whites beating them back. Two whites were wounded ; Daniel Rod erick shot through the ankle, and Henry Ellsworth struck by a glancing ball ou the hip. The Indians contin uing their march toward the Little Blue river, when within a few miles of Kiawa Station, overtook and at tacked, about 7 o'clock on tho morn ing of the 28th, a party of five whites, consisting of Fredrick Tabor, Adclbert Tabor, Charles Mauley and Samuel Stevens, living on the Little Blue. "and Judge Harrington, of Beatrice. Ihe hght lasted a distance of six or seven rod3, the whites beating the In dians back and reaching Kiawa feta tion in safety. One of the horses at tached to the wagon was shot through one of his legs. The Judge thinks the Indians were Pawnees. They were blue coats. The Indians reached the Little Blue settlements on tlie. eve ning of the 2Sth, and took two horses from Capt. Wilson, eight from King Fisher, and three from a German set tler living below. Kiawa Station is thirty miles from Big Sandy, and Big Sandy is the same distance from Be atrice. The horses were stolen from settlement ten miles below. The Indians approached to within ten miles Big Sandy without committing any more depredations, and then took the backward track, since which time nothing has been herd of them. Judge Harrington, Mr. Dulfield, and others, old settlers, are confident that the Indians are Pawnees. This is ev- denccd to a certain extent by the con duct of the Indians themselves, who, being afraid of recognition by the whites, fought at long range, their ob ject being not to kill settlers, but to steal horses, Some aver that they arc 1 by a white man, -while others de ny it. The i?.ttrrrrrTrre faid u two whites killed, two wounded, two mis sing, and about fifteen horses stolen. We have not yet learned whether any )f the redskins were killed or woun ded. It is probable there were, as oth the party from Turky Creek and Judge Harrington's fought with brav ery and coolness. The settlers are arming themselves, no one thinks of leaving none have eft, but are confident of their ability to protect themselves against tho dep redations of the redskins in future, be they Cheyue3, Siouxs, Or Pawnees. Steps are being taken to have troops stationed along the frontier, and wo hope and believe it will be done, for no matter how willing or able the set tlers are to meet these depredations. they' have not the time to spare to look after these marauding bands. This matter should receive the prompt attention of those in authority, and if these marauders are Pawnees, they should be tought to know the penalty of murdering American citizens, while enjoying the friendship of the United States Government. Beatrice Clarion Extra.. Turning tlie Tables. "Halt! Your money or your lifo! Throw up your hands!", exclaimed the stranger, stepping out from tiie shadow, whil9 accompanying the words might plainly be heard the shaitp- click of a pistol. The person addressed was a weary newspaper man, wending hi3 lonely way home ward in the outskirts of the city, at about three o'clock the other morning. "O, yes, certainly. I'm in no hur ry. Only walking for exercise. Just as soon hold up my hands as not. I'm not armed. Please turn that pistol a little to ono side. It makes mo ner vous." "Hand over your cash !" "Haven't nary a red with me. You see they took that all away from me when they entered my name on the books." "When did they take your money from you?" "O, yes; why, at the pest house. You see I'm a small-pox patient just out for exercise. They wouldn't let me walk about in daylight with my faco in this condition, so I havo to go it after dark, and late at night when the streets are empty. By tho way, stranger, the wind is rather in your direction, and unless you ain't partic ular aboutit. it might be just aj well to stand on the other side. I've got my old silver v?atch, though. If you like it, come and take it. You're at perfect liberty to search me if you like, only don't point that pistol tliis way, it makes mo uncomfortable. D'ye want the old watcn ?" "No, thank you," said the robber, backing away and around to the oth er side." 1 couldn't take anything from a man as unfortunate as you. Here, there's a half a dollar for you, poor fellow. Go and get something to drink," and he threw acoin toward him, still backing olf. "Now," said he. "you turn back and go round the block the other way. If you're only walking for exercise it won't incom mode you " "0, not a particle ; I'd just as soon walk with you, if you desire it. iuh er way, though, its all the same to me. Thank vou for the hah. on t you come and join me and drink to my recovery 7" "You go round the block the other way, and as I haven t hurt you, say nothing about having met me. I guess I'll go this way," and then watching till the supposed small-pox patient turned the corner, he started off in a full run in the opposite direc tion. Mr. Newspaper man proceeded on homeward undisturbed, and slept the sleep of one who enjoys the conscious ness of having done a good thing, and four bits tho better off for having met a highwayman. Golden Era. THURSDAY, JUNE A Oi unkard'a Care. "Some months ago, a gentleman ad vertised that he had discovered a sure specific for the cure of drunkenness. He would not divulge the secret of what compounds he used, but furnish the medicine at so much per bottle. He did not have so so many applicants for cure as he expected, considering the extent of the disease. In fact", the more malignant cases did not seem anxious for relief. They rather ap peared to enjoy their malady. A few, however, placed themselves . under treatment, and some . were cured whether by taking the medicine or by not taking strong drinks, we are not prepared to say. One of the cured ones had faith in the medicine, rigidly carried out the directions of the doc tor, and now ha3 not the least taste for intoxicating drinks ; : whereas, ono year, ago, he was an inebriate, and could not get along with less than a pint to a quart of whiskey per day. "He said that : he had, . at some trouble and expense, procured the rec ipe for tho' preparation of the medi cine, which lie had published for the benefit of suHering humanity. It is as follows: Sulphat of iron, five grains ; peppermint, eleven drachms ; spirit.of nutmeg, one drachm ; twice a day. This preparatiou acts as a ton ic .and a stimulant, and so partially supplies the place of the accustomed liquor, and prevents that absolute physicial and moral portratiom that follows a sudden breaking olF from the use of stimulating drinks. It is to bo taken in quantities eaual to an or dinary dram, and so often as the desire for a dram returns. Any druggist can prepare the prescription." Y e cut the above from an exchange. The prescription named, is, as stated, a tonic and stimulant ; but we consid er ther dose two large by one-third. considerable irritation of the stomach might be experienced by some pa tients from so largo an amount of the sulphat.. The nulphat should also be of the crystallized form. Apothecaries will understand this, but some people might be tempted to prepare the nicd icine themselves, and obtain for tho purpose the dried salt, which is much stronger. - We do not believe that it Can destroy the appetite for liquor, but it may lessen the cravings for It until the habit of drinking has boon broken. oacnttfie American. a Iluiiingr the Price of Gold. The Treasury holds a surplus of at larst Sixty Millions of Gold, which ought long since to have been used to pay oh the Public Debt, and thus re duce our annual burden of interest. The Gold would once, since we have held it, have bought Eighty Millions of Six per Cents; it would still buy over Seventy Millions. The sooner it is employed "tor the purchase or pay ment" of bonds, as the lav directs, the better for the public interest. Such a hoard, lying dead, makes Gold scarce and Bonds jdcnUjul in the channels of business, whereas, it is the public in terest, in view of the urgent need of funding our Debt at lower rates of In terest, that Gold should abound and Bonds be scarce. The Treasury stands right in its own light in allowing a dollar of coin beyond its current needs to rest in the Treasury. I he operators for a raise havo man aged to put up the premium on Gold ; and this thev can do so long as the reasury backs them by hoarding Gold. Every dollar thu3 hoarded is carried for their benefit." If the Treas ury held but Ten Millions of coin, they could not keep up Geld to any thing like its present premium. But. so long as .tho Treasury holds on to One Hundred Millions, they cau man age and manipilato tho rcsiduo with ease. . . Putting up the premium on Gold is playing right into the hands of the Secretary, assuming that he wishes to use his surplus coin to reduce the Public Debt. If he can sell Gold at 140 and buy Bonds at 115, every Mil lion of his cash will buy up over One Million and Quarter of Bonds, lie ought to thank the gamblers for help ing him to so favorable on opportuni ty, and improve it to the utmost. In stead of One Million of Bonds per week, he should buy up Five, Ten, Fifteen Millions all that ho cau get at anything like the present prices of Bonds n'ud Gold respective. We do not believe he will over again see a week wherein Ten Millions of Gold will buy so large an amount of Bonds as at this moment, lie should buy buy buy so long as $1,009,001) in gold will purchase $1,100,000 of the National Debt and he has a surplus of gold to sell. Such, we cannot doubt, is his intention, lie may buy but $1, 000,000 this week; but, if the great disparity between Gold and Bonds shall continue, he will buy more and more Bonds from week to week here after. So crowd up the premium on coin, Messrs. Gold-Gamblers! so that our gold shall serve to wipe out as many bonds as possible ! Tribune. The Montana Font contains a full account of the late conflagration at Helena. It says: Flames were discovered in a Chinese house of ill fame, about two o'clock in tho morning, and before assistance could be got had seized upon the ad joining building. In ten minutes it was ablaze, ana as the heat struck the resinous matter from the dry pine logs of which it was constructed, the heat became so intense that approach to it wa3 impossible. The citizens gathered in great numbers, but all their eitbrt to subdue the raging elements proved entirely futile. In three hours the heart of tho city was eaten out, about two hundred houses were consumed, and daylight dawned upon the black est day Helena ever saw. The flames had swept everything but the fire proofs. The number of buildings des troyed i3 variously estimated at from 133 to 227, over half of which were business houses. The loss is estimated at from $000,000 to $020,000, the largest figure being the estimate of one of our best informed and most considerate citizens. In many branches of indus try and trade there was not a repre sentative with a roof over his head yesterday. The origin of the fire i3 unknown, but it is the general accep ted .belief that it was fired by an in cendiary.

Never, perhaps, until the recording angel reads from the "book of remem brance" the history of each Individual, and each sees his life recorded, will the good or evil be known of the prop er or improper instruction of children and youth. The mind, whatever it is, or whence its source, depends upon outward in fluence for development. Thoughts, like "the diamond in the rough," or gems in the mine, lie buried in the mind until a cultured speech or skill ful pen gives them an expression. Man's condition on earth, or in auy state of existence, depends upon his character and his capacity for happi ness or misery. Each Individual lias a character to form, and a destiny to work out. This is a gloriou3, yet fear ful truth.' ' That is a truth no one will deny.' . Has not each human being who ever. appeared on the earth u his tory of its o wn ; a character of its own ; a destiny of its own. - Now the question comes up : Is man free to form just such a character as he wishes to have. : The free agency of man is a vexed question. Moral philosophers and metaphysicians have wrangled over it;, written, yolumns uponitj"and tho question-' is undecided yet. Better deal with facts and not give too much prominence to specula tion. Leave that in the back ground. When a proposition is presented to the mind, demanding a decision be tween two courses of actions, without a doubt it has the power of choosing ; and very great consequences may be the result of the choice : even the eter nal destiny of tho individual. Yet, there are "circumstances and events iu his lifo . which he cannot control; which his freedom of choice cannot reach. But a well formed character, produced by a proper development of mind, feels a responsibility resting up on it to instruct others. How deeply should this responsibility be felt by parents, teachers and the'guardiansof children and youth. They have char acters to form, and their destiny rtt,ts with their character. If blank ignorance were the only result of an uncertain mind, it would be bad enough, to be sure. But that is not all ; the mind is not learning that which is good and useful ; in learning that which is bad and hurtful. Tho best way to keep men from going down those highways to pardition, the saloon and gambling house, is to thoroughly and properly educate them; beginning in early .childhood. The sad eflects of an imperfect edu cation is seen in woman more than man. It has led her in to that very bad habit of gossipping, for which she is daily becoming tho reproach. She is prone to be suspicious, and surmise wrong things of her female acquaintances. Then at their societies and gatherings it must all be talked over.- which is not dignined, nor graceful, nor lovely ; and mars very much the beauty of female character. A properly cultivated mind would protect all this. Again, woman has been made a dupe to most rcdiculous fashions, grace and gentility, harmony of colors, symctry ot form, and about every thing which goes to make up a beau tiful female toilette is lost sight of in artifical flowers, ribbons, velvets, jewelry, stays, chignons and pompa dorcs; and oh! what time is trilled away in changing to the ever capri cious wishes of fashion. Now, was woman thoroughly educa ted, this would not be. She should not stop with a littlo music and French, which are all very well as far as they go. Her education should be useful a well as ornamental. It -has been truthfully said by that great philosopher, Ben. Franklin, that "economy is the mystery of wealth." In that art she should be perfect. Per haps in that depends the prosperity of families more than all the boasted business talent of men. She should be thoroughly instructed in the sci ences; but it may be argued that this would, make her masculine in her manners. It is a mistake that thought and intellectual culture produce what is called masculine cnaracter. Men of tho highest cultured intellect are the ciost gentle, kind aud refined. Often women of the most thoughtful and powerful minds are as delicate and fragile as the lilly which drops before the rays of the sun, and as sensative as the aspen which trembles at the slightest breeze. While the most vulgar course, masculine women are as destitute of thought and refine ment as the painted doll. It is true of women as of men, "a little learning is a dangerous thing." A thorough education of all the principal branches should bo given to both men and wo men, beginning in early childhood. JENNETTK HARDING. For the Advertiser. UroTFnville Illgli School li brary Association. This Association, which 13 composed of- the members of the BrownvIIIe High School, and which is still very young, is growing finally, and we hope the fruits of its labors will soon become evident. The Association started without capital of any kind. When it was or ganized as a body, there were but few members; but by the help ot the ini tiation fees of those who have joined from time to time, and the proceeds from two or three exhibitions, tho Treasurer is able to make out a report in favor of the Association for quite a sum. A room has been procured, and fur nished to some extent. As fast as mouey is procured it is laid out In books, eo that at tho pres ent the Library consists of between forty-five and fifty good sized volums, which is doing very wen ior a oegm ning. It i3 proviaea m tne constitution that when the Association ceases to be, that the Library shall be trans fercd into the hands of the trustees of the public schools, and it will then be a public Library. Itis the intention of the Association to add to their stock of books until they shall have a large library. If they should succeed in their ef forts, and it should become a public Library, it would improve Brownville greatly. The Association is indebted to Hon. T. W. Tipton, U. S. S., for many val uable books of information. The books have been carefully selec ted, and contain useful instruction for young minds. For this and many other favors the Association is indebt ed to Prof. G. B. Moore. 'lhe memoers have labored in per fect harmony, and what they have ob tained has been by hard labor. The weekly meetings, which ar? de signed to contain useful instructions for all, consists of son gs, declamations, essays, dialogues; and a "weekly paper supported by the pens of the most in tellectual members.

Andhence.it must be admitted that the world is a school. We are either advancing or receding, piogressing or retrograding; and it has been truth fully said, that an important lesson can be learned from the fool, and that is not to be a fool. And one of equal truth and equal importance can be learned from the ignoramus. There fore common schools (yea, and we might say too common, almost,) have been established throughout our entire country, so tl:al the poor can share with the rich, and none can proclaim that they are treated with perfect in-' difference, for our talented men and best educated have sprang from, the most atject circumstances imagin able. . All this ha. been dene forn llghtenment ani the evasion of igno rance, and to give to every Tamily o education or armorial for theirreiative protection and relative safety. The school room is a drill room where thousands of young cadets ap pear for instruction, to prepare for the warfares and battlts of life ; and the lesson3 there learned, tho instruction there received, will cither redound in future hnppiness and success, or future degradation and vice. Will either make citizens of note and usefulness, or citizens of notoriety and sagacious ness; and hence how important it is that every individual wearing the well as a good tactician. We avered that tlie school room was a drill room: admitting this to be true, we come to the second point, the location and conveniences of a school room. And as to location there can not be too much importance attac hed, for upon this depends health, and ad vancement in studies. Every .school building should bo so situated and constructed as to have free circulation and ventilation of air throughout its interior, and this ventilation should be from the top, for as the pure ani mating and vivifying air penetrates the crevices in the walls, there should be room made for the. abnoxious and rancid air 'to pass out," otherwise it will produce stupor and dulness, both on part of pupils and teachers. Again, every school room should contain maps, charts, and a good black-board. Thesowill act as an incentive, to stim ulato children to action, to invigorate them to press forward aud mako them more regular in attendance, for punc tuality should be taught as well as in dustry. No teacher can tench success fully without the necessary apparatus. Again, every school housarUold have water near by, for it is an ac knowledged fact, the. farther ltd car ried tho more will be used. . The yard should be fenced so that it could be kept clean and neat, for cleanliuess and neatness should be taught as well as the arts and sciences fouacie trees should be planted. These things can be accomplished by a co operation and uniting of the parents at littleexpense. A word to lhe teacher and I am done : His work U complex and as abstract as the nMnds he has to control and govern ; henc5 he should under stand human nature, without which a thousand and one vexations will inundate his soul, and he will leave the school room with neuralgic pains which no cephalic pills can ever alle viate. He should be a live man, ever ready tc discharge his duties, both In school room and teachers institutes, for these wc consider as an oasis and refreshing spots for for the weary traveler as he journeys on in the dis charge of his every day duty. S. W. Mt Grew, M. D. London, June 4, IS'iO. ZXumn Hair II mv to Grow and wear li Howard Glyndon, a highly compe tent writer (a lady formerly of St. Louis, )gives to the New York Times tho following information on the above subject : Children havo what is called their baby hair until six years of age. This should not be ct until they have attained that age. It is like the first plumage of tlie young bird is soft downy and delicate and quite unlike the crop that succeeds it, iu all except color and that too, often changes ma terially. When they have reached the age of six or seven it should be carefully cut, and after that kept crop pet at regular intervals. Putting up the hair of children in curling papers breaks it and checks its growth, often pulls.it out at the roots. Curling irons are ?atal the hair of both children and grown persons, ihe heat saps up all juice out of tho fibers as effectually as fire or frost saps the vitality of a green branch, leaving It but a dry withered skeleton. . Very few persons pay any attention to the arrangement of their hair, so as to harmonize with their peculiar style of features and general personal ap pearance. Most women think of nothing but grossing it according to the prevailing fashion never consid ering how ludecrou3 a little woman np- T)cars In an enormous chignon, only proportionate to some tall Amazon : while a thin raced woman comos bacK every individual hair stily from her face, rendering its angularity still more conspicuous, and a jolly-faced girl wears hers pulled cut about her fat visage, thus adding to its breadth. If the head is long, do not inccrtase its length by pinning the chignon on a straight line with the front particg. If the head is high, that is, if venera-4 tion is prominent at the top, a ran go the hair so as V) give the head breadth and not height. Curls are becoming to some persons while upon others they are perfectly odious. In all cases it is best to give the hair the-sharn? to which it natural ly inclines. If it waves naturally over the forehead, d-.-ir't brush it down flat and straight. If it inclines to lie smoothly ou the front, don't friz it ar- tiuciaily tho discrepancy Is always opparant. "Sir," said an old Scotch woman to her minister, "I didna ken a part of your sermon ye.-tentay." "Indeed ; what was it ;" " ou said the Apostle used to figure of circumlocution ; aud I dinna ken what it means." "Is that all? Its very plain. The figure of circumlocution is merer. a periphras tic mode of diction." "Oh ah ! is that all ?" said tho old woman. What a puir fool I were not to undcr.jtnd that." A Dutchman met an Irishman on a lonely highway. As they mot each smiled thinking he knew the other.

Tho earth in those pro-historic days v-.$ unuergomg such thai s umi-.r tho hand of the creator, th.u the earth of the carboniferous ru-c, with its atmos phere, it- land and waters, its animal and vegetable life was c scnt;al!y a:i-! other earth from the teiliary i.gc. Oar coal fields have therefore a history of their own independent ai:d uniiho any other now known. In studying that history it cught properly to be divided Into two par;, pre-historic and historic. In the first wo are carried away tack of the age of man and the animals that now inhab it the earths. We enter a new. world. Instead of the lofty mountains with their everlatir.g snows, it is one vu.-t I !ain. Instead -f the terni-erato oil- mute we are in tne heated tropic. Instead of the dry and parched earth, a we see va.-t lagoons ana marshes. In place ot the present stunted vegeta tion we find a gigantic tropic verdure that dwarfs that, of tho jungles of tho present age in India, Africa, and South America- -It was cue vu:-t l.n'i-t t f lofty palms, whose leaves were bread-' r than the palm trees' of our tim. and whorw shadows darkened th-j land like the shadows of night. Tha aquatic vegetation corresponded to that oi the laud, nor was the t-or.t alons of the giant order, tho -Fauna, the animals both of tho land and w a tcr wero giants too. Here wai th-j Denotheruince G'gnntum, tlie larg -i of animals who dwarfed in she tho Mammoth and Mastodon, armed with enormous tusks and toes he could live in the water like tho Hippopot tamus, upon tho juicy vegetation there, or roam among tho palms on. the land. Hero was also the Anoplo theoium, the Rabothevium and their contemporates all worthy of tho name of gigantum. In tho wate? there lived and sported . an imals of tho same immense size.' A iark has been discovered and des cribed, belonging to this age, 27 feet long. Such is a glimpse of the carri ages of the tertiary coal. lhese vast palm forests, by soma great chemical process in nature's lA- boratory, havo been converted Into coal, and the likeness of these animala have been handed down to us on tho pages of this Coal Book. Much of this book has been read by geologist?, our own Hayden and others, and given to u, but still much remains to be read. So much for tho pre-historic of our coal. Now for the historic. ' In 1S07-3 Lewis and Clark found Lignite on tho banks of all the tributarses of tlie Up per Missouri. Fremont in all three of his expeditions reported that It existed in vast quantities in all the country known as the "Great Lignite Basin' Prof. Harden, with Lieutenant, now General VVarren, found it on the Yel-) lowstone, 'Big Horn, Towdcr and' Tongue ' river,- Wind River, Nortlr and South Platte, Medicine Bow, Rock Creek and as far south as. tho. Arkansas, covering an extent of coun try 700-miles north and 00 miloa south, and east and west, giving a-' coal field of 3.,000 square miles. Uu dor how much of this vast field coal lies, tho pick and shovel can alono de termine. Prof. Hayden reports eleven distinct veins in Boulder county, Col orado, from five to nine feet thick, and at Carbon, in Wyoming Territo ry, seven veins from nine to eleven feet thick. Ono vein twenty-ono feet in thick nes3 bus been opened further west. Enough is known of its quan tity to pronounce it inexhaustible for thousands of years. It is also found west of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, but it is not in veins of auy thickness, and in the great upheval, even these, their veins have been broken up and 'so displaced, that mining is very un certain. There must either have been, nn exception, so far as the gigautio flora of the tertiary period is concern ed in that region, or elso the great process of nature iu forming coal was failure there. In a trip over tho Uniou Pacific Railroad, a passenger can see everywhere evidences of the coal de posit. ' In the banks of Rock creek, Medi cine Dow, Rattle Snako creek, North Platte and Seperative creek, the vein of coal can be seen out cropping, awaiting only the strong arm ot tho ' miner to give up it weaitii. But, it is on the Red Desert and In. the valley of Bitter creek, where now hardly a specimen of animal or vege-, table life exists, where the alkali sanI ' are parched ami burned, that the foa-' illized pages of history records that tho great lagoons with their Maviud and aquatic plants and the Galea for- ' csts were tho most luxuriant. There you may see two distinct veins, ono abovo the other, at various inclines as they were left when they ' were thrown up from their place of repose of the untold centuries. Side by side of these coal deposits we have great pits of iron, such as aro found on the Chug Water, as though purposelv thrown together by nature there In lier most liberal mood. When we lxk at the nctwoik of Railroads that will 60on cover tho tran s-Missouri country, we can hardly, overestimate the the importance- of these great contiguous dejKjsiles in re placing the rails. I have heretofore given you tho opinion of the first chemists of the) country, Dr. Torrey, of N. Y., and Prof. Silieman, of Y ale, as to the qual ity of its coal, and I have also given you the opinions of the great geolog ists, Hayden and Hall, us to its extent, therefore I will not copy it here. I -am sure that In two years, when theso deposites have been fully developed when this country Is dotted with iU hundreds ox villages for colliers when the whole length of the 1,500 miles of mountain range i checked with mining machinery usin tertiary coal wlicn the many thousands of stock men and herders use it for their hemes when the millions of acres of fertile lands on the many streams of tho mountains are cultivated, and their hearths and firesides are warmed and made cheerful by thi-? same coal, then li3 discovery and development will rank with the foremost of tho great events of the 1'Jtli century.
