! r I I 4 He- h.h Why tlic Platte linn Degenerated Editou Journal, Bear Sir: I have thought a few results of mj summer's trip to your vicinity might not bo without interest to your read ers. La6t Aujjust I made a hasty geological rcconuoisance of the Platte from its mouth to Kearney. "Without dwelling on the very in teresting features of the prescut stream, I wish simply to give a few glimpses, which have come to me, of its foimcr mojcPtic size and come of its curious changes. It formerly, and at no verj'distaut age, ran diagonally across Saunders county, leaving its present valley a little east of North Bend. It swept in a channel from o to 8 miles wide in nearly a straight line to its pres ent bed again near Ashland. Sand and "Wahoo creeks mark the western bank of that ancient channel. This statement is attested by the exist ence of an alluvial plain bearing every mark on, and below its sur face, of having been the valley of a large river. This plain is about 100 feet lower than the hills west of it, and cast of it, between it and the present Platlo valley, similar hilly land is found., forming what has been called " The Ancient Island." The high bluffs oppo to Fremont form the northern cud of this "is land." This old chauncl, where it leaves the river, is 70 to 100 feet higher than the water iu the river, and from that altitutc it elope? quite rapidly, so that near Ashland it is not more than about 50 tect higher than the Platte. "We find evidence in these facts that the Platte formerly flowed at a much higher level and was a much larger stream than it is now. Vc find many more facts indicating the eame thing. Near Columbuf, the "First Table," as it is called, the highland between the Platte and Shell creek, is another old bottom of the Platte, bo, too, the land be tween the Maple aud the Platte, and between the Loup and the Platte. The north edge of the ancient bed of the Platte is clearly marked by the lower courcs of the Loup. Shell aud Maple, which run nearly paral lel with the Platte. The hills north of the same arc about 100 feet higher than this ancient bottom, which is itself 75 to SO feet higher than the present bottom of the Platte. All the streams mentioned, for- i xnerly entered the Piatte at the- point where they now make their "liu IU lliU I..IM. CYUII VUHf litlUJV, t. e., since the streams had worn to nearly their present level, there Tvere streams flowing from the Loup into Shell creek near Gleasoifs, and probably from Shell creek into the 3Iaple below Schuyler, just as now channels from the Platte connect with Wood river. The 6and hills south of Kearney arc apparently upon an old sand-bar formed by the Platte when flowing at its higher level. Dry creek, as it is called, bounding the sand hills on the south, marks the ancient south bank of the river. At a time, therefore, probably not over 5,008 years ago, the Platte was a mighty river, about four or five times its present size, a slow, ma jectic stream, flow ing iu a bed 75 to 100 feet higher than its present bed, aud yet not really higher but lower, as wo shall sec further on. Another interesting point: the "Ancient Island" appears to have been the lower part of a" divide, which formerly separated the E'J: born from the Platte and Maple. The higher land may be traced north of Fremont west of the Elkhorn. "Vo may suppose, therefore, that the Platte has cut through this "divide," also that the Maple has done the Bnmc. As before stated, -the latter once flowed into the Platte, liow have these changes heen produced? A few words in answer. The wear ing of a deeper channel by a stream iB usually a sign and result of in creased velocity, and that often comes from an increased steepness of its slope. Now, then, an indication from other sources, that there has heen au elevation of the western plains in comparatively modern times. The elevation may be still going on. Kearney is nearly 1000 feet higher than it wa during the. last geolog ical period. Thi elevation would 4 rt 4l,n n... ft. IT,-t. ..?.. I .. . t ... naturally quicken the velocity of the Platte, throwing it agniun the divide near Fremont, and causing a sharp bend which finally wore thro' into the valley of the Elkhorn. If that valley was lower, as it probably was, the velocity of the Platte would J be still further increased. Moreover, the elevation probably had an effect to diminish the rainfall on the plain. We see in this eleva tion, therefore; the priueipal eaure of both the diminished eizc of the Platte, and its wearing its way into it uarrower channel. If any one of your readers kuows or learns of any tacts which seem to forbid these conclusions iu any particular, I shall be glad to know them. Your? respectfully, J. E. Todd. Tabor, lotea, Oct. 25, '79. For the Journal. Ckrlfftlaaity in its Relation to Public I-ife. We must recollect that the king dom of Christ, nris special sense, reslB upon the general principles of justice and good government, which commend thcmsclvcso the common sense of mankind, independently of their religious development. "A sceptre of righteousness is the scep tre of thy &ugdom." "Truth," says a father of the Church, " by whom soever uttered," and we may equally say, right -doing, by whomsoever followed, " is of the Iloly Ghost' Every effort, therefore, to improve and purify the course of civil ad ministration; to mitigate the vio lence of party; to elevate the stand ard of character required in candi dates for high office; to improve legislation; all such endeavors, whatever the religious position of those who are devoted to them, arc directly in the line of the advance ment of.Christ's kingdom; for they broaden and strengthen those gen eral foundations of justice and right reason, on which that kingdom rests. Aud it is worthy of note, that, at present, it is only within the limits of Christendom, or under its over mastering influence, that cflbrl3 for civil reform are seriously made, or have any reasonable prospect of success. Russia, for instance, is one of the corruplest of Christian states, yet her administration appears al most purity, compared with that of China. China i", perhaps, the best administered of heathen states; yet it is computed that three-quarters of all her revenues cling to the fingers of jthosc who gather them. Now, r,lwo to say that the efforts making i'o perfect aud purify the channels of administrhtion, and to raise the tone of public life, arc not among the woi kings of God, through men, to redeem the world of his creation ? Such efforts, indeed, react to enno ble every individual character with in a commonwealth. Jtectitudc of principle aud conduct, public or piivate, is not alien to the grace of God, but is its appropriate vehicle aud receptacle. Wc arc, therefore, no sufficient instruments of God's redeeming work, if we slop with a concern for individual and social religion and morality, while we sutler the great fabric of our civil polity to be de bauched : sutler cunning and low minded politicians to build their foul ncstsof private gain upon the majestic pillars which uphold the order of our natioual life, and to turn to their own advantage even that sacred fianchise, by which free men suppose themselves to be ?er; iug the good of their country, when J yet they so often arc ouly helping to fatten the vultures that prey upon it. lie. therefore, who, before the altar, vows his allegiance to Christ, vows his alleglauce to him a) much ia this respect as in any other. Nor can he any more be excused for allowing the shackles of slavish and unremonslratiug partisanship, than for allowing the shackles ut drunk enness or debauchery to clog his limbs, and hamper his activity in dealing blows at evil wherever he may sec it. The servant of Christ is to be equally the sworn foe of Satan wherever he may discover him, in his heart, in his life, iu his neighbor hood, in the church, in the capitol, in the custom-house, in the polling booth, in his native land, or, so far as his indirector influence may reach, in Loudon, or Vienna, or St. Petersburg!!, and from the equator, to the pole. Public morality is helped by private rectitude, and strengthens it iu turn. Both are powerfully assisted by religious faith, and teact most strengthingly and helpfully on it. And the more perfectly the iclations and inlerde pendencies of earth are regenerated according to the mind of God, the more perfectly will earth become the tmr-prv nf hitmrnn. n n c ----. .. lExooaiitl or a JtntI EEablt. It used to be said iu the early times in Denver, when the free-and-easy life of pioneer days was tho't a necessity, that todies sometimes mas queraded in male attire especially at night just to sec what it was that detained their husbands down town so late. One iu particular had a very attractive husband, and, wo-man-lik". she was very fond of him. It seemed to her that so precious a possession should be guarded zeal ously, and she did her best to keep him iu view. But his incomiugs and outgoings were frequent. Like the Irishman's flea, he Was anywhere but at the place at which he was ex pected to bo found. Nevertheless she buckled bravely down to her mission, aud few were his escapades that failed to come under her per sonal observation. One uijjht she traced him to a dance-hall, and just as he was about leading. one of the reigning belles of the place to forma set in a cotillion n handsomely dressed boy interposed between them. "I beg your paidon, fir, but 1 have a weakness for this girl myeclf,"' re markedthe youth, '-and with your leave 111 have a dance with her." Before Iho astonished gentleman could gather his scatteied senses about him the youth and girl were whirling away in the nnzes of the dance. It was the look and tone ol the intruder which had dumbfound ed him. He bad seen that face somewhere, and the voice was as fa miliar to him as spring violets. f "He looks to be every inch a boy, and yet I'll swear it's a woman," he muttered, doubtfully. In. a few moments the dance was over, aud the boy came close to him. "Areu't you tired?" he inquired. "Well, yes," replied the citizen, -a little 1" "Well, let's go home," suggested the youth. "Go home 1" interposed the citi zen in tones long drawn out, while a faint inkling of the youth's identity began to dawn upon him. Then he stopped and peered wistfully into the fase wreathed with srailcB. "Will you go home?" the boy again iuquirep. It was hardly necessary to have made the inquire. It was evident that the citizen had begun to com prebend the situation. But he heav ed a sigh as he replied, cordially : "I think I will." It wa3 his last night out. The places that knew him once kuew him no more. Pleasure taken under such cspoinagc had ceased to be pleasing. The gentleman now is one of the pillars of society. Denver JVetcs. The I.cson or Ohio. If the Democratic party were cap able of being taught a lesson, the Ohio election would teach them one. It would, too, be one that would sink deep in their hearts. During tho late sessions of Congress their brigadiers were busy preparing for Tuesday's result in tho great central State of the Union. They have ac complished what they set out to do. It is to be hoped they are satisfied. Previous to those sessions the Republican parly was distracted an I divided. From Maine to Cali fornia it is now united. Tho gener al expression among Democrats in public places yesterday was that the shot-gun policy of Mississippi de feated the party in Ohio. And of this there can be no doubt. It was folly for the Democratic brigadiers to insist on State rights in theory, but the height of insanity for them to enforce it, as they did during the rebellion, at the mouth of the mus ket. Can it be po-sible, as the stalwarts assert, that they intend to rule a country they were unable to ruin ? The Ohio election is the last les son and the last warning. Will the Democracy heed it? Or, has Prov idence given them over to blindness i of eye aud hardne? of heart? Is the proverb of the ancients to be sigually exemplified in their history, alo; "Whom the gods would des troy, they first make mad ?" As to the Republicans, the only questions now is that of leadership. The result iu Ohio brings forward Sherman and Blaine as probable can didates on the part of those who hope at the last moment to stem the Grant "boom." Can either, or both combined, do it? That is now the question of tho hour. Republicans, like old Thurlow Weed, to whom the prophetic political spirit is giv en, think they can. We shall see. In the meantime Grant, like a sec ond "William, the Silent," or an impurtnrbablo Monk, with a pierc ing eye, sweeps the political field on which the great battle is soon to be waged, but speaks not. He holds the destiny of a world's continent imprisoned behind those firm set lips. The materialistic philosophy of the day may assert that events con trol men, not men events. This would be true if there were no Grant to take hold of Democratic (Hotspurs, who, while killing nc jgrops with iliol-gnns at the South, 5a re, Itho with the same weapons, and at same time, slaughtering the Democratic party at the North.

Do not eatiinate the worth of a young man by his ability to talk soft nonsense, nor by the length of his mustache. Do not imagine that an extra rib bon tied about the neck cau remedy the defect of a soiled collar and un tidy dress. If your hands arc browned by labor, do not envy the lily fingers of Miss Fuss aud Feathers, whose mother works in the kitchen while the daughter lounges iu the parlor. If a dandy, with a cigar between his fingers, asks you if smoking is offensive to you, tell him emphatic ally, "Yes' The habit should be, even though the oder may not. Do not waste your tears on the imaginary of the dime novel hero ines. Seek rather to alleviate the woes of the suffering oues of earth. Core Tor Colic in Horses. A correspondent of the Massa chusetts Ploughman gives the fol lowing cure for colic in horses, which is convenient at all times and easily applied. He says he has nev er known it to fail: Spread a tea cupful or more of fine salt on the back of the animal over tho kidneys and loins and keep it saturated with warm water for 20 or 30 minutes or longer if necessary. If the attack is severe drench with salt water. I have a valuable bull, weighing one oiu) thousand pounds which had aPrrre attack of colic a year ago last summer. I applied salt to his back as above, and, it being diffi cult to drench, we put a wooden bit into his mouth, keeping it open about two inches, and spread Bait upon his tongue, which, together with the salt upon his back, relieved him at once, and within a very short time equilibrium appeared fully res tored. I have for severalyears past successfully applied this treatment to other animals in mv herd. Hold On. Hold on to your tongue when you arc just ready to swear, lie, speak harshly, or use an improper word. Hold on to your hand when you are aboutto strike, pinch, steal, or do an improper act. Hold on to your temper when you are angry, excited, or imposed upon, or others are angry about you. Hold on to your heart when evil associates seek your company and invite you to join in their mirth and revelry. Hold on to your name at all times ; for it is of more value to you than gold ; high places, or fashionable attire. Hold on to the truth; for it will serve you well, and do you good throughout eternity. Hold on to your virtue ; it is above all price to you iu all times and places. Hold on to your good character: for it is and ever will he your best wealth. S CO , . I yjl O 3?
