SJH there if a verygeneHl feeling of In-
PS digtratiou In Europe over the al-
fcffj legal renewal in Ruafrta of persecu-
K against the Jews. The report lias
BK been denied, lut H appears tliat tile
EBf edietoof ISS2 against tlie Jews in
HB Jtttssia have been nvlved and are
B bow enforced.
Bf By the terras of thee edicts He-
B brews are prohibited from living
H outside of certain provinces. This
HB na not be so cruel as banishment
HJj from the country but cannot GUI to
H work inexpressible hardship, as it is
B far many virtual banldmient from

KB It I estiaialej that there are fully
SEi five millions of Jews in llut-ia, and
EKj that at least a million will be more
K or less affected by these harsh nieas-
EKj ures, for which Utere seems to be
HE BeHlier right nor reason.
SK This anti-Semitic t-plrit, which
HS breaks forth at Intervals in certain
Hk piaes,istlmilarinsonie resfiecis to
HJ the anti-Mormon" virus that,
Bfl without real cause, animates not

H5 entiotis.
KB As in the case of tlie "Mormons,"
HJ some slight incident, in itself
Mk harmless either to Individuals or
wj society, is magnified and distorted
3S. by designing erons until it ap-
38 pears to be a gigantic evil. The
BE false side of the story 1 n Idrly jub
H hatted and generally acceited. The
HI truth, when told, is seldom repeated
HI by the prey:. And thus the public
J receive only the malicious and di-
HJ captive rejiort and remain in the
BBl dark as to the facts.
Kg The expuMou of tlie Jews from
Hj Spain toward the cloe of tlie tlf-
EJ teenUi century was consequent ujiou
J p-fuUr fun aroused by falsehood.
HJ 1 1 is now regarded as not only a big
93 blunder which has worked evil to
HJ that country, but as one of the black
0 spots in history and an evidence of
H the Intolerance and brutality of the
HJ times.
SJ In relation to the eSort In progress
H to induce the wealthy Hebrews of
HJ liropc to Join in a boycott against
K Itufcia, by way of retaliation anu as
Hj a means of inducing a relixatioa of

unworthy of their presence, their

Nations will have to reap the har

wnmj bring forth fruit in their
kind and come back to vex tlie son -era.
The oppressors of the Jew aud
the oppressors of the'-Mormon"will
eucn have to take the results of their
acts. And the nations and people of
these times of theoretic liberty and
Weal tolerance are more guilty when
tfeey do violence to the princijiles of
freedom and equal rights than their
prototypes of the dark ages, aud will
therefore reap a bitterer recom
pense, ISjUi IU-sia in its treatment of
the Jews and Amerka In its treat
ment of the "Mormon" would do
well to note thee truths enunciated
by the Ommr-J.Mmial:

Tub r.tpld increase of population
in this Territory is beginning
lo attract attention aud to
j elicit neupsj-r comment. Of
oour this !ui-reae is attributed to
"Oenlile" Influences. The "Liber
al" demeut, with itsusual unbhish
in; inipuJence, claims the credit,
and the echoes carry the sound
throughout the country. IJy the
echoes e mean most of those npero
whlcli treat on Utah affairs; it is
r seldom that they do anything but
repeat error".
TheSan Francisco Oiromolc says
of this increase in loj-ulation:
Tliat is a reUy gno.1 proof of too
Munulus giren by Gentile institutions
andtbecUsof people that they at
tract. Under the old Mormon regime
tbeoty would not hve Hi present
position lefo the end of the cen
tury." It is said tint figures will not lie.
But H does not follow that person
and papers cannot lie with figures.
Ltt us see what the census tells ol
the Increase in Utah under the
oM Momma regime."
In 1S50 the census gave Utah a
sr ' population of H,3s0. In IS9 it
- readied 41,f7. tlie percentage of
'' increase being 25S. In ISTd it ran
uptoS6,T5C, or an Increase of 113
, lr cent Iu ISSil tlie population
5 wasl4S,JsJ, an increase of 65 per
'fw eent. And the latest report kcw
J tu 1" esent population ot 2S,55. an
increase of 55 per cent.
So tliat -under the old Mormon
- regime," the iercentagc of the In
crease was greater than since the
influx of Gentiles." And when
the 'regime" was exclusively "Mor-
i mon," the increase was nearly five
S limvs great as during Uie last
deeade. And with the Increase or
the "Gentile" element the ratio of
increase has rapidly declined. Will
the Cfcromcfc mate a ,, of ,hu
anJ correct Its lalpatlo error, or
wiH it proceed in its usual course,
public a gross untruth and entirely
ignore the facts when placed before

rOLITIO.
The anU-v"Monnon" schemers In
Idaho still try to work up a hostile
feeling against the Latter-day
Saints and make out of It political
capital In the Interest of the Dubois
faction. We have expressed our
opinion that our co-religionists in
the north would refrain from taking
any part in tlie political contest now
In progress. The Bear I.ake ude
pauliHt speaks with no uncertain
voice on this question.
It has Leen charged that the
"Mormon" dement would unite to
help the Democrats into lower.
The JKdepcmkHt dissipates tills
notion with the following blast:
"We were asked too other day how
much we would take from tho Demo
cratic party for the editorial columns
of the nrfrpemlnrtdarlrg the next two
or three months. The proposi km
nearly paralyzed us by Its andacKy.
After being betrayed, deserted and
sold to Kt political opponents for less
than thirty pieces of silver by the
cringing, servile and pusuanimous
Democrats ot Idaho, wo should be
deserving universal contempt should
we raise our hand or voice to help
such igDoUe cowards in any extrem
ity. Our answer to the propoKion Is
no. eternally no. We would rather
laugh at their calamity and mock
when thetr defeat eorarth. And as to
their monetary considerations for tho
the ue of our paper, we say, let their
money perish with their partr unless
they rspent of the great wrong done
the people we fed proud to call our
frieod."
Notwithstanding this, the Idaho
Statctmem aud other anti-"Mor-mou"
organs continue to raise their
howl, and see lu every Democratic
movtmentan attempt to gain the
"Mormon" vote. We venture the
prediction that tlie returns ill fall
to show any effort on the part of the
Idalio "Mormons" to "affiliate"
wlthiltherparty.
Itutwhat a joke it would be on
tlie Democrats w bo w ere too wcak
kuced to support the friends who
risked their liberties In support of
Democratic candidates, if tlioe
same feeble fellows were knocked
out at the jiolls as "alders aud abet
tors" of the "Mormons," on tlie hy-
pothetU of the alleged attorney of
ilingliam County.
Anvlww we arc of the firm opin
ion that the 'Mormons" ot Idaho
will let all political parties most
severely alone, and will not swell
the number of ballots at the flr-t
State election.
CLERIC VL inrtlCRI's. ItLlll'KEII.
Mtt. C. II. Si'UitaDON, the famous
iastor of the Metropolitan Taberna
cle, London, In a recent number of
his paper, TlicSirordandUieTroicel,
lifts up his voice and weeps over
tlie corruption of tlie ' Christian"
clergy of our age. He say4 tliat
clergymen uo longer coushli r them
selves bound to preach what they
honestly believe, but they accept a
position as preachers in any church,
only for the sake of the saltry. Once
sure of the position, they ridicule
tlie old-Sisliioued beliefs, first pri
vately, tlien openly. And this Is
being done with impunity. The
following is an extract from Mr.
Spurgeous article.
"Time was when good men would
sooner have died than compromise
Ibeinseite by seeding to profess
faHli in what they hold to be error;
bat this is now hdd to be morbid
scrupulousness. It would not aston
ish us to see professing Christians offi
ciating in Mohamedan mosfpres if the
Modems wouM permit tbem and find
them a salary. Yet. If a preacher
nixli himself able to subscribe to a
creed in which he has no faith he is a
villain."
Mr. Ppurgeon Is as boll as he la
right iu trying to grapple with tlie
monster of villainy that sucks tlie
heart's blood of the 'Christian"
world through its hired priests.
But he will not accomplish any hlng.
Soren Kjerkegaard tried it many
i ears ago, but accomplished
nothing. Others have alo failed But
it is certainly pleasant to see a
clergyman of Mr. Spurgeon's emi
nence Itonest enough to acknowl
edge tlie hypocrisy and villainy of
so many of his ministerial brethren.
And it would be still more pleasant
to learn tliat the reverend gentle
man were sufllciently honest him
self to leave his present position
among villains an J enter a society
of honest men.
r:n: limited toiteii of con
gress. Is relation to tlio "original
paLkage" bill tin re has lieen a great
deal of di-cu'sion, involving the
powers of Congress and the rights of
-States. We notice that the utter
ances of George rich nor Curtis on
thcsulject are looked upon as hav
ing great weight, and that he is re
garded by respectable journalsasan
eminent constitutional authority.
He says on this Important matter:
"To bold that Congress can confer
on the State a power that they do not
now possess would be to hold that the
creature can act as If it were tho crea
tor. Congress can no more confer on
the States powe- to do sometning
whieh they cannot now do than It can
by legislation determine what tho
reserved powers of the States are. By
no legislation whatever can Congress
enlarge or diminish the reserved pow
ers of the Slates."
This is sound doctrine, whatever
ground may l taken by the advo
cates of centralization and what Is
called "a trong government." Any
measure that seeks to encroach ujxm
the powers of tlie States and of the
people which are reserved to them
by the national constitution, is rev
olutionary and dangerous to the
popular ndfare. .No Statu or con
federation of States ought to I per
mitted to defy or override the legiti
mate authority vested In the United
States. But at Die same Unto the
Federal power should be confined to
lis constitutional limits, and checked
when It seeks to entrench upon the
domainofStateand personal liberty.
A OVEL KUE.
The London Telegraph gives
particulars of a race that was run
recently Utweenan express train
and a carrier pigeon. The race
took place between the Continental
mail express train and a carrier
pigeon, conveying an urgent docu
ment for the French police. The
rails, carriages and engine of the
express train were, as might bo ex
cted, of the best possible construc
tion for power and speed. The
pigeon, which was known as a
"Belgian voyager," was tossed
through the railway carrlago
window by a French offi
cial as the train left the
Admiralty Pier, the wind being
1 west and the atmosphere hazy. The
I train bad made more than a mile
before the poor bird decided which
direction to take. It circled up in
tbealr, rising all the time In wider
rings, while the train, which made
uo stop, was speeding along at the
rate of sixty miles an hour, and the
railway officials were ready to lay
any odds on their train. But the
race was not to tho strong, for a
telegram announced the arrival of
the bird twenty minutes before the
train w as heard of!
1IK1IXJ TOMATO Ls.
TllCRB aru few vegetables tliat
are more wholesome or ii-ulat than
tomatoes. We presume tliat but
few iople in this part of the country
are aware tliat they can be
successfully dried by a method
which require but little outlay, and
comparatively little trouble. The
process is thus given in the Ameri
can Garden:
s-xsild and ped tlie tomatoes, as for
canning. Hutl them slowly la a por
cdsln kettle or stone Jr until the
original quantity it redu-ed one-half.
Then season them iu tho proportion
of a teaspoouful ot salt, and balf-a-cupful
of sugar to a gallon of stewed
tomstoes. sij-read on plates and dry
quickly without scorching. As the
moisture dries away and the stewed
fruit loses shape, scrape H up so that
both sides may dry, and let the eon
tents of several pUle. heaped np
lightly, stand In bright sunshine a
little while befsvre putting away.
Store in bags and ktepdry. When
wanted for use soak them in a quan
tity of water for several hours, or over
night. Stew la same water long and
slowly three or four hours keeping
boiling water at band to add If it
grows thick, and so is in danger of
burning. It should be quite thin
when done, and may be thickened
with bread crumbs and seasoned.

THE folbwlnj correspondence
from the tn of Dr. S. H. Allen,
resident idiyslcian of the Maternite
Hospital, Baltimore. Md., is sdf
cxplanatory. It was tendered to
the editor of the Baltimore San,
who, actuated doubtless by a desire
to float in the popular anti-uMor-mon"
current, published only a
small iwrthm of It. Dr. Allen is
from Mount I'leasant, Sanpete
County. He graiuatej with high
honors from tlie leading medical
university of Baltimore and was
tendered Ills important losition he
now Oils. We take pleasure In
giving place to his communication,
in which lie makes an Intelligent
dtfense of hi people the Latter
day Saints:
To the Kdiibr ottc Shh:
In your issue of today is a short
article under the heading of "New
rublieations," width contains sev
iral erroneous and unjust state
meuts. It insults aud slanders a
large body of American citizens
who have chosen to adopt tlie faith
of the Latter-day Saints. Thomas
Gregg has written a book about tlie
Mormons or l.attei-iay Siuits, and
called it "The I'ruphitof Klmyru."
You say Mr. Gregit lived near
Nauvoj during the Mormon settle
ment. He dislikes Monujuism, yet
strives to be Just. Heha, therefore,
those qualities of exjvrieuce and
fairness which contribute to give
us the best history of tlie Church of
tlie Lttler-daySaint-s.iU leaJersand
its policy tliat we have." John Due
lived near a community of Catholics
or rresbyltilaus; he hates their re
ligion, strives to be just,aud Is there
fore fitted to give us the best history
of Catholicism or I'resbyterianUm,
their leaiers and olicy. livery in
telligent reader of the Am will In
dignantly deuouueu such thin, silly
and wor-c than childish argument.
It is hardly -sible after readiug tlie
San for two years for me to believe
that such a great and deservedly
opular aper as It is would endorse
any history whose chltf claim to
merit and accuracy Is that it was
written by a Inter of the eubjeit or
people wntteu about.
Informed ople today, as you
well know, are In lossession of too
many Instances where histories
have been dashed off from bitter,
shallow iiens, guided by bigotry aud
ignorance and loo often mercenary
motives.
Such histories liury the truth be
neath luajM of stupid and often un
readable trash, Inflame the lasduiis
aud misinform tlie minds o( undis
crimluating reaJers;kiuJleuunccvs
Rarily the fires of hatred and set iu
motion tlie cyclone of religious strife
and contention.
The spirit of the nineteenth cen
tury demands reliable and strictly
accurate hUtorlcs whether they treat
of the Latter-day Saiuts,MethodIst,
or treat of America, Knglaud or
Germany, the North or South, or
whether they treat of Joseph Smith,
Martin Luther, John Wtaler or
ItoUrtG. Ingersoll.
Peter tlie lit null is long since dead,
the holy wars or Crus-tdes which ho
did much to inaugurate by his
fanatical and earnest preaching
comedown to us assume of the sad
est monuments to nun's ignorance
during tlie dark ages.
There are crusades today ami have
been during the iast hundred years',
which, if not on such a large scale,
are as aimless and unreasonable as
wtretho-e which cost tile loss ot
millions of men in trying to drive
the worshippers of Allah from the
tomb of Christ. The present cru
sade against tlie latter-day Saints
will, In the not far distant future,
be seen In its true light and will lie
looked at much as we look at the
Crusades of the yeir UKM
and 10-V) A. D. Iast March over al
Washington I was talking with a
judge who had sjvnt several Kirs
in Utah as a tmnulur of the Vtah
Commission, created by the IM
muuds law of ISSiX With his
commission from Congress in his
locket, ho went to that Territory,
and found that murh of his Inform
ation about that strange peole up
to tliat time was sally out of Joint
with the facts, as it had been gleaned
from books written by bitter ene
mies and transient visitors to the
"Mormons." This judge aJoptcd a
novel but wise method of putting
himself in possession of tlie fact'
about these much misunderstood
and maligned people. He made
several Journeys into different parts
of the Territoiy, going by team,
wheretherewerono railroads frcm
one settlement or village to another,
and taking care to stop not
at betels, where such existed, but
he ate and slept each night in the
homes of prominent Mormons, who
would gladly give him conveyance
to the next town or place of Inter
est. He said he found the kindest
treatment and hospitality In all his
travels and that the rvnb. wrr
temperate, virtuous aud strictly
Christian in their ways, and paying
much attention to the education of
their children.
He, like quite a number of ob
serving travelers with whom I have
conversed, testified to the utter un
reliability of most of the existing
literature on this subject.
Tho "History of the Mormons"
by E. X. Tullidgc, a scholar who
has lived In Utah ever since ISM
and that found In Bancroft's late
classical history of the Paciflcstatts
an J Territori -sare the only two his
tories by non-Mormons that I know
of as being reliable. Scores of books
on this sut Ject have appeared before
"The Prophet of Eloiyra," such
as "Monnoulsui Kxiraced," "Eight
years Among the Msrmons," "Fe
male Ltre Among the Mormons,"
"Tell it All," "Hdl oil Earth," etc
Most or them teem with lies so loud
that o-dy the stupidest people believe
all their contents, some of them pro
claim the depraved and mercenary
spirit of their authors and nearly all
HB5lffBE5iaWEJWaH
contain some of the meanest and
basest calumnies that were ever
liea ped on an unpopular people since
the rabble shouted at Christ, "Away
wltli him, away with him a friend
f publicans and sinners, a glutton
ous man a stlrrerupof sedition and
not fit to live."
It is time to ttep and ask If there b
any good or any amusement even iu
continually misrepresenting the
Mormon because he Is unpopular.
Mr. Editor, you say "CagUostro
never found dupes as Ignorant as
Joe Smith with bis golden plates."
That is an easy and flippant way of
disposing of a sulject to which
tliousanus of men of brains, zeal aud
piety have devoted their lives, a
sulject I am sorry to say as little
understood by the average news
paper writer as is the sulject of the
source of the sun's beat. It Is a
fact that thousand of our American
citizens swallow whole the most ab
surd stories provided only tliat they
are about the Latter-day Saints; a
Instances the story about Joseph
Smith's walking on the water ap
parently, but really ou a plank Just
under the surface.
"Utah harems" ""o schools for
females In Utah." "Mormon exo
dus to Mexico." "Disloyalty of
the Mormons." Tha story of tlie
"Danlles" or "Destroying Angtis,"
which ludicrous absurdity uever
existed only In tlie minds of men
at poorly Informed as Mr. Gregg.
I can name a score of other sim
ilar fabrications cut from whole
cloth tliat are believed by thousands
of the reading ubtio, and I isu
agree Willi you when you ray Mr.
Greggls "Prophet of Elmyra" "un
folds a romance to which tlie wild
est delusions of the middle ages
were as child's play."
Several anti-Mormon looks are
on sale, which &par on
their iroper shelf only when
plat J beside 'Gulliver's Travels."
Happily for tlie Mormons aud for
all wlio dislike to "blush iu ignor
ance," a change Is being worked by
the efforts of observing and broad
minded travelers who step out of
the custom of flying tourists who
spend one night iu Salt Lake aud
come away and tell a lot of stories
about Utah which they got from
"Hell on Earth" orsomeothcr re
liable w ork on Mormonism!
Ill your last lino you characterize
the faith of the Latter-day Saints by
the very harsh and aporently
thoughtless idirase: "The lowest of
all religious." By the side or this
let me idacu some of their chief
articles of faith:
'We believe In God, aud In His
Son Ji-us Christ and iu the Holy
Ghost."
Tliat is the first article.
"We believe tliat through the
atonement of Christ all mankind
nay be. saved by obedience
to the laws and ordinances
of tlie Gospel. These ordinances
arc, faith Iu tile Ixjrd Jesus
Christ, rejientance, baptt-m by Im
mersion for tlie remlssionofelu, laj
ing on of hands for the gift of tlie
Holy Ghost." "We believe the
Bible tobe the Word or God." "Wo
Ivlicve in living sulject to presi
dents, kings, rulers and magistrates,
in obeying, honoring and sustain
ing the law."
"We l-elleve In being honeit,
true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous
and lu doing good to all men. In
deed we may say that w e follow the
admonition of Paul: 'We believe all
tilings, we hojie all things.' Wc
have injured many things aud
hope to be able to endure ail things.
If there is anything virtuous, lovely
or of good report or praiseworthy we
seek after these things."
(This is the I3lh article entire.)
You may refer to olygamy.Truc,
until Cougrrss iised the Edmunds
law it was practiced. About two or
three out of every hundred of the
men had taken more than one wife,
which they did u llli the knowledge
and consent of the first wife. Since
the passage of tlie Edmunds law
the great majority of them have
served a term of from six mouths to
two ears iu Jill, and paid fines
ranging from $100 to $-) for follow
ing the exaniiie of Abraham, Jacob
and David, they cared for aud ed
ucated their children, an! dii not
send them to intant or foundling
asylums and compel their neighbors
to pay taxes to suport them, as is
done in some distant regions that
might lie named.
If the letter-Jay Saints were kt
alone, it newpaers and Congress
men would strive to get tlie truth
about them, and if there were not
so many carpit-luggtrs whose sole
in-ansof existence is a salary from
tlie government laid tbem for fill
ing unices which should be filled by
tlie men who killed tlie snakes and
were the real makers of the Terri
tory. Utah would be admitted Into
the Union of States, the "Mormon"
question would settle Itself and the
pre-ent outrageous attemjt to rob
the pcojJe of their Church ptviierty
undercover of anti-American legis
lation ami to make of the Territory
a young Itejiublican czardom would
be denounced and detested by every
true American ani lover of liberty
and justice throughout Die earth.

A good deal ot sympathy will be
ftlt for illcemin Henry Ilenner
man, "one of Ihe finest," of Louis
ville. While liking a nap on his
front porch the other evening a
thief came through the gate and
stole his hat. Swearing vengeauce
against the intruder, lie provided
himself with another hat and also
a liistol, and placing both on a
chair near him he pretended to be
asleep with a view of alluring the
thief back for more looty. After
pretending awhile to be asleep, the
oOicer actually went to sleep, aud
while he was in this condition the
thief returned and carried oft the
other hat and also the revolver.
Hennerman's proper place is on the
detective force of SsJt Lako City,
catching imported burglars.
It is not pleasant to hear tliat the
experiment of providing Improved
tenements for the poor lias not been
a succeis In Kcv York, where this
classofjieopleare probably as jioorly
housed as in any great city In the
country. Tlie attempt to provide
tenements on the plan of the Pea
body houses In London has no far
failed to meet the expectations of
their projectors tliat not one of these
houses has been full of tenants. It
is found tliat there are thousands of
families who live in squalsr and
who do not seem to be content with
any other klud of life, show lug that
a large portion of the conglomerate
population of the tenement bouse
districts In our great cltiis need to
be educated up to tlie habits of
cleanliness before the benefits of im
proved homes can be availed of or
appreciated.
John F. Ilcrr, or Shermans
town, Pa., gives his experience In
ridding lawns of weeds, a subject of
considerable local Interest: "I have
tried several methods of clearing
our lawn of dandelions and dock,
and find that nothing Is so effectual
in totally destroying tbem as a small
quantity ot turpentine poured upon
the plants. I had dug these weeds
out quite clean, but they came up
again stronger than before. I then
experimented by applying carbolic
add, kerosene and turpentine.
Kerosene bad but little effect upon
them, while tho acid and the tur.
pentine destroyed tbem outright
As turpentine is much the chear

EXCROACitHEXT 0V THE SEA OS
THE X0RTII AMERICAS
COAST.
It arpeats tliat historical records,
submerged forests and meadows,
geograpblc-U configuration, the
phenomena of structural geology.lhe
principles of dynamic geology and
topographic form, all attest that In
portions of. tho Atlantic aud oulf
slopes the sea Is encroaching upon
the land. This evidence fa not In
deed all equally clear and apposite.
The historical evidence fa weak In
quality because of the Inaccuracy or
early surveys, early tide marks, and
early records of all kinds, but Its
volums Is vast. Even by itseir
tho historical record shows that,
albeit lmirrv4ibfo lu a single
year, the advance of the sea fa
considerable when decades are com
iarrd, aud enormous when com
jstrlson Is made between centuries.
Tie evidence of submerged forests
and meadows lias not always beeu
Interpreted alike; but tho cases are
legion, their significance often un
mistakable, and In the best observed
regions tlie testimony fa conclusive.
The evldcocu of geographic con
figuration of drowned rivers, half
Hxxied isfanps, and outlying keys
proves that the land I either re
cently submerged or U no w sinking.
Thuevideucc of structural geology,
and rarUcularly of the dearth of
alluvlan in the absence of deltas at
thu mouths of mud-charged streams,
Isof like tenor and value. The valuu
of the evidence of dynamic geology
driwnds upon the validity or tlie
PowelUan prindple, which all com
petent, authontlw acceit, though
some miihtquesUon llsquautltallve
sutlicleiicy in tlie Riven case. The
evidence or geoniorphology of the
forms of hills and the features of
plains fa eminently anj.lte, clear
and conclusive It applies not only lo
tlie cost, but to the entire coastal
plain; a-jd. It might be made to give
rude measure of the rate and amount
of the earth movement- But, how
ever, the several lines be weighed,
the evidence fa consistent aud cumu
lative, and permits no c-caiw from
theconclusion tliat certain portions
of our coast are yielding before ad
vancing seas. On reviewing the
sum of evidence by areas, it Is found
to irovo oceanic encroachment
aloiig tho Atlantic coast from Sandy
Hooic to Cape Henry, and along
the Gulf coast between the mouth
oftheMbstissippl and Mobile, Bay;
to suggest a like condition all the
way from Cajo Cod t Ca Fear;
and to give little Indication as to tlie
change In the relations or sea aud
land about the shorts of the Florida
IKMiiiistila. Concerning the north
ctn New England roastjthe western
'Gulf coast, aud nigged promontories
and flat sand benches of the I'acific
coast, w here the records are scanty
or equivocal, "this deponent aaitli
not.'
Men wlio hunt the shores for
pleasure or for profit, naturally In
quiro thu rate at which tlie
sea fa encroachliu upon their
domain. The cautious estimate
of the rate at which the Xew
Jersey coast is sinking made by the
official geologist of that State, Is two
feet tier century. Now the mean
sea want slope of the coastal ptaiu,ln
eluding Its' subacrial aud submerged
portions, is -rha six feet icrmllc;
so tliat each ccutury'sslnkingwouid
give a third of ainile.and each year
a rod, uf lowland to the ocean; and
this would appear to be below the
rate of mcroadiment indicated by
comparison of maps. Tills is pro
bably the' maximum rate for this
country. Pending further observa
tion and the scanning of other rec
ords, little more can be said. Men
or maritime lanJs naturally inquire
w hetlier tlie continent settles cosily
and uniformly, or whether It des
cends by successive starts at Inter
val; for rapid mass movement in
the earth Is justly U-lieved to beget
Hie earthquake, and rcliance the
tidal wave; but Uon this 'uiut lire
evidence aud scieuce(a?iJufrom hy
uthttical presiiini "km in favor of
per tallum movement) are silent.
Last Island was indeed over
whelmed when, afttr a ten
days' nortliwster which forced
thu Gu'.f waters offshore and al
lowed the water-heavy sills and
sands to (ettle in the lighter air, thu
wind veered to the south, and the
surf swq 4. back over tho ruuken
shores and delta Islands; jitthtre
were no dct j -seated eartli tremors.
The laud wvut down In the lower
Mhskslj pi region, It is true, during
the greatest or American earth
quakesthat or Xcw Madrid, in
laII-!; but it has not been learned
whether thu earthquake caused the
slnklugor thu sinking thu csrtb
euake. Slight quivers or earth, too,
ap-x-artoruii along tho '-fall line,"
and are commonly recorded many
times annually In its vicinity; but
It is more probable that they re
present gradual and easy relief of
eartli stresses tlian tliat they are pre
monitory of a catastrophe.
Prophecy of evil fa an ungrateful
and ungraceful task, before which
science Justly quail, for science Is
no longer coiitt lit only to make two
bladta of grass grow where one grew
liefore.Shv fa ambitious a Jso so wise
ly to use the productions or the
earth tlialoneblaleor gross will fill
tho place filled by two lx fore, and,
moreover, to wring from Inrren
rocks and desert artificial rubstl
tutes for natural blades of grass, and
thus lo multiply Indefinitely the
gifts vouchsafed by unaided nature.
So her devotees are tho must ligbt
someof opliml-t, the most sanguine
or pMIanthmpbts. But otimlFiu

There fa a broaj low

to Cae Henry, and running iiibtnd
to the line of the metroiulis, and
another washed by the 5li-issippi
Sound, upon whlcli tlie va fa en

plains, but recently wn-ted from
the ocean, and ocean reclaims it
own. Already its octopus arms
have seized thu lowland in horrid
embrace, and day by day, month by
mouth, year by year, generation by
gencratiou, the grasp is tightening,
the monster cree-ping further and
further inlmd. IZach average ymr

easUru and southern oasts the
waves are abo encroaching, but
their progress is lower. Ami the

only provide against, and slowly re
