The skies eve clear for days and days together, and Dothing seems to disturb the face of Nature. The bushes and grasses have changed toa yel- Jow hue; the nearer hills are of a tawny brown ; while, far boyond, the Uintah Siersa is dark- blue, with patches of snow upon the higher summits. It is no wonder the old mountaineers loved this place, for the climate is as pleasant a8 <an be imagined. Al the year yound itis cool and invigorating,~never very warm in summer, though there are some cold winter days. Snow sometimes falls to a considerable depth, and the gorges in the mountsins are filled up. The forks of Green River, namely: Smith's, Henry's, and Black's, Tise in the mountains nenr by, and water many valleys in which thero are fine herds of caftle. In these mountains, there is 2n sbundance of game, such as elk, black-tailed deer, panthers, and mountain-sheep ; and in the streams are plenty of fine trout. Fort Bridger was established 2s a fur-trading post, by James Bridger, in 1842. Here the old mountaineor lived ina sort of barbaric pomp, surrounded by the dusky children of the moun- +ains, owning considerable flocks and hords, and being, in fact, & frontier baron. Here ho lived until long after the advent of the Mormons, and until 1854, when he sold to Lowis Robinsop, & Mormon, his Mexican grant for thirty miles of 1and and some cabins, for which, it is claimed, he was paid 88,000 in gold; the deeds of this prop- erty are said to be in the possession of Brigham Young at this time. In 1855, the Mormons built a boulder stone wall, 100 feet square, 1% feeb high, with younded corners, and a corral, or cattle-yard, 82 feet wide, and made other im- provements on the ranch, expending $8,000 more; and, fora long time, it was the county- seat of Green River Coanty, Utsh. Bridger always claimed that he was obliged to sell fo the Mormons, or be murdered. Judge William A. Carter, now & resident at the Fort, and a most estimable citizen, was for many years Probate Judge. In the fall of 1857, Colonel A. 8. Johnston amived here with his forces, for the purpose of in- vading Utah; and iwo bastions were thrown up on the west side of the fort. The Mormon troope withdrew as Johnston entered, having first destroyed everything. When the troops Jeft for Selt Lake Valley, Cclonel Hoffman re- mained at the Fort, with several companies; and, during the summer of 1653, the buildings pow inuse were erected. They are log build- ings, neatly whitewashed. A creek—one of the ‘branches of Black's Fork—runs through the middle of the parade-ground. There are ditches, filled with pure water, running in front and rear of the quarters, which are pleasant enough. TTrees have been planted in and sbout the Fort; and it looks like a beautifal villsge, fairly em= bowered, a8 one approaches it on the roed from Carter’ tion, on the Union Pacific Railroad, 11 milea to the northward. The different garri- sons which occupied it during the War of the Rebellion, mostly Californis Volunteers, either ‘wantonly, or in distress for wood, destroyed geveral of the buildings and fences. These have all heen replaced, however, and it is oW a8 fair & spot s one would wish t0 see, The trees growing in this section of the conn- 4ry are the pine, fir, red cedar, hackberry, box- elder, aspen, and cottonwood. There are dense thickets of willow along the streams, intermin- led with hawthorns. This is called s desert; t,if L am not grestly mistaken, fine crops will' be raised hereabout in the next’few years; the only drawback possivle bemg the shortness of the seasons, as there is no better soil any- where, it being as mellow as an ash-heap. This Fall, gomo winter wheat will be pntin; snd I redict an excellent crop, if no untoward acci- gant, occurs. Judge Carter thinks well of the future of this country; sud one thing is certain : there sre no finer lierds on earth than those which & on the rich grasses near the banks of s, Henry's, and Smith's Forks of Green RBiver. There are over 3,000 heed of stock on these stresms. A day or two after my arrivalhere, I went down on Smith's Fork to visit Jack Robinson, & celebrated mountaineer and noted frontiersman. Jack was absent, but we saw his family, who all appesred to be_ well and hearty. Many years 2g0, Jack married a Shosboneo or Snoko [odimn 6, and mear_bis somewhat primitive cabin were several lodges of Snakes, who are doing comething in & small way_by attending cattle,— he owning a fine herd. e Indian women have adopted tia waye of the whites, and dress ac- cording toour notions. In & little wigwam, or teepee, we saw an old Indisn woman who is 84id to be over & hundred years of age. There she sat, doing mp her bundles, and patterinj 2bout in silence, seemingly contented an happy. Her eyes were rheumy, her hair o tan- gled ass of gray, and ler face as dirty and € inkled 28 an old leathern-bag. Her hands Jooked long and Scraggy, lite the talons of & bird of prey. She has seen strange scemes in this frontier country. Upom our return, we met a eingular specimen, who had been across the plains many times. He was driving a fine span of mules, snd, upon_our ac- Costing him, he gave us & civil Teply. Said he @ After whacking bulls for thirty o, Ifnd ekinning mules a geusnnt and profitable busi~ ness.” Hereis a fine subject for a ballad from our national muse, John Hay or Jack Straw, “He will be charged nothing for this invigorating theme. ‘This is the paradise of the geologists, and in the bad lands below they find the remains of an- imsls whose names alons are enough to frighten 2 man to death. An extinct race of horses has been found,—so, after all, horses were in Amer- jca before the Spani ‘brought them here. These geologists claim that the yemains of the animals they find here were on earth before the 1ime of the mammoths and mastodons. Profes- sora Leidy and Cope, of the Academy of Natu- rol Sciences, Philadelphis, have been delving about hers, and tha latter still re- aine, Mr. Clarence King, with his party, is ®nugly ensconsced in the bushes on Black's Forfi 5 s0 it will be seen we are well off so far as eminent geologists are concerned. Professor Teidy, with Dr. Joseph K. Corson, U.S. A., and Dr. J. Van A, Carter, has been fortunate in obtaining the remains of one of the largest and most extraordinary mammals yet discovered in the Bridger tertiary deposits. ~ It was a_fapiroid pnimal, exceeding in bulk of body and limb the living rhinoceroges, though the head appears to have been proportionally small. Many ‘“fi‘ ments of & skeleton of tho animal, fossilized, were discovered. The teoth resemble in form those of the sabre-toothed tiger. Inits perfect condition, the tooth measured npwards of a foot in length, so that it exceeded the canines of the = great Brazilian Machairodus. These canine teeth, terminating in Jance-like points, must have proved most ter- T80 metruments of slaughter. These remaing were found nnder the shadow of the TUintah Mountains, and this old scourge of Uintah has been named the Uintamastiz Alroz. Professor Cope says some of the most remarkable remsing ever found are those which have been discovered Fishing in Black’s Fork, a few miles below the post, is good sport, and the salmon-trout that ere taken are as fine as any fish that swim. It i8 now pretty late for good sport, but, in the proper season, nothing can be more exciting to the sportsman. Our party took sev- eral though not 28 many a8 we had expect- ed to capture; but, 28 a sort of recompense for this, one of our pumber killed two wild geege, a sage-chicken, and = curlew. There is a lake hear the head of Smith’s Fork, where trout are Sery plentiful, and parties succeed m taling great numbers of them. On the gides of the Uintsh Mountains, there are plenty of elk, black-tailed deer, and mountain-sheep. Besides these animals, there are others which are not so harmless; and, some time ago, a young man named Livingston went out, wgbo i8 sup- posed to have been killed by them., Panthers or “painters,” are frequently met with on the monntain-sides, who do not hesitate to attack ‘human beings, and some suppose the young man was killed by them: at all ovents, a small por- tion of his remains was found, showing that he had been eaten up by them, or by their sneaking' companions in iniquity, the wolves. I do not kmow why I should always be inter- ested in the Indians, but so itis. 1never get near where they are but I am on the gui vive to find out gomething about them. This is the old stamping-ground of the Shoshonees and Utes. Tor years and years, they wero at war, but finally, through the instrumentality of thewhites,made & peace, which has been lasting, and they roam about over thiscountry undisturbed. Shoshonee Jim shuffles about with & very modest quantity of bat-rim on his warlike brow, the crown of eaid hat having disa %enred long since. He sports enormons round brass earrings, » pair of frightfully-bowed legs, 5 soiled blanket, and & plentiful ‘supply of sore eyes. In fact, Jim has sore eyes enough to do a whole Mormon settle- ment; buthe isunconscious of all this, and wears his_honors meekly. There is a twinkle about Jim’s_eye when you ask him to bring in some black-tailed deer meat, as much as_ to_ say, “I Inow where_ black- tailed deer do most abound, but at present T do not fecl like imparting my informa- tion to the pale-faces.” Whereupon Jim wraps ’his Mackinaw blanket about him, and ehnffiles out. Inthe mounteins, these Indians remain durmgkt_he whole winter, tmppini for beaver, and taking such other game as they are able. The woods are now on fire, and a large amount of valuable timber will be destroyed. Thess accidents frequently occur, and there seems to be no way to prevent them. In & country whers timber is so valuable, this loss is goverely folt. Thero are some good mills on the foot-hills, busily engaged sawing lumber with which to build 8now-sheds along the course of the Union Pacific Railroad. Thus far this fall, we have been remarkably fortunate, and there has been no snow of any consequence. The rondsin this vicinity are very good jin- deed, and it is & renl pleasure to ride over them ina carrisge. Thoy aress hard and dry as s turnpike, and the horses travel on them with the greatest ease. In all of the stroams and old dry creek-beds, there ars millions and mitlions of small boulders, which lave been accumulat- ing since creation. The benches, or buttes," of Iand resemble old pyramids, or great cause- waysmade for & railroad-track, Thess are said to be the bottoms of old lakes, or sens, and, up- on the subsidence of the water, these benches were formed. There is & sfunted fio\\'fl: of sage- brush upon them, and in places, as be- fore remarks the ground is remark- sbly rich, and some day be brought under cultivation. With anything like fair seasons, I believe fine crops of wheat could be raised, and Liave no doubt but, years hence, there will be wheat-fields of immense extent in this Territory. People are too apt to condemn as useless those things with which they are unacquainted. When they come to know this country better, they will apprecizte it more highly. Yo-day, while out riding, I met o party of Utes on their way to their lodges on Smith's Fork, They were all well mounted, and, 28 they jogged along over the eage-brush plain, looked quaint enough. There wera three women and & boy, all travelling in Indian fle, as it is called, First came the leader,—evidently sn Indiau Queon,— riding astride of her horse, and docked ont in all the savage finery imaginable,—beads and bead- work, red broadcloth, red flsnnel, buck- gkin~ fringes, @nd all; whilst round the neck of her horse were two large strings of bells, which rattled merily. Next came the boy, mo doubt her son; and then two other squawe, also riding astride of their_horses, who were the vassals, or hangers-on, of her ladyship. 1 cannot ssy much in fayor of the beaniy of the party; but one thing is certain, and that is, they ‘considered themselves veri important person- ages. Tho saddles had high pommels and can- tles, and the Indisn omen seemed almost buried up in them. Her Majesty used her quirt, or whip, unsparingly, and her horse attended to his business with tho greatest assiduity. They wors their blankets over their heads, and scemed to feel that this was indeed a mnotable array of the womanhood of the Nation. It is diffienit fo supply » female with enough finery, but I be- Tieve in this case tho Ute Queen was perfectly satisfied with hersclf, and certainly was *the cynosure of all eyes.” The whole country heresbouts seems to have ‘been at one time the bottom of & great lake, and remains of turtles, shell-fish, snd hippopo- temuses are found on the hill-sides. This was Jong before the advent of man upon this earth, sndwhere all sppesrs sterile and barren was once the home of ducks, geese, cranes, snd ofher aquatic birds. For ages and sges, night and morning came and went, with no human being to watch the changes, and trees of re- markably beantiful foliage lived where now there is nothing but a desert-waste. And hoary centuries fell, slow dro) From the weary Wing%‘i""l‘ime‘ i ‘And saw thee, changeless, proud, and mighty scene, The surface of the lake was ruffled only by the breasts of ducks and_geeso who_sailed upon its bosom ; the huge river-horse disported amid the fens and mashes along its border ; and great Jizards made their slimy tails along the 6oze, and mud, and tangled water-flags. Here, too, were immense turtles, and all the various reptiles who Jove to dwell amid the sweltering sbades of the marshes ; for it was much warmer then then now, there having been a grest upheaval of the lands which are known as the Rocky Mountsins. Gradually it was drained,— the immense coel-fields which underlie the sur- face of Wyoming Territory were formed ; rank vegetation gaves place to sterile plains ; and a region once teeming with animal life became a8 silent as the tom . Tn old times, in the days of the far-trade, this was a place of considerable importance, and Mr. James Bridger sppears to have had much influ- ence among the mountain-men. Beaver-trap~ ing was 8 good business, and is 60 even now. joves, capes, coats, and caps made of beaver- skin are comfortable in winter-time; and a great many skins aje used snnually. To get these, thera is a distinct class of people always trap- ping in the mountain-streams, &nd these, to~ Fethar with the Indian tribes, furnish the supply. Though shorn of its former importance, the fur~ irade is to-day no mean business, and large sums of money are made therein. There are many Mexicans engaged in it, snd about Fort Bridger sre theso men, who wero born in Chihushuz, New Moexico, and Southern California. They are first-rate guides, and know all the country for hundreds of miles about. They generally have taken unto them- selves Indian wives, and appear to be as_happy and contented as any people on_earth. BSeveral of them have become Buccessful stock-raisers ; and, all inall, they gre good citizens, There must have been a curions medley here in 1842, when the cabins belonging to the little fur- trading post were built.” Here were Western Americans, geunt and tobacco-chewing; self- posgessed Moxicans; well-bebaved Indian wom- ‘en, looking on with wondering eyes, and always silent; Snake chiefs in paint and war gear; ponies covered with saddles and packs; piles of Turs; and, when there was any sort of good luck, grand carouse on whiskey, provided any was obiainable, . The most noted mounteineer living near Fort Bridger is unquestionably Jack Robinson, now 60-0dd years of age. He i8 o thorough Western man, and has a splendid_physigue, which would attract sttention anywhere. He'camo fo thia country by way of nos, in New Mexico, over forty yeurs ago. Ho is 4 quiet, amiable man, posgossing grest good sense. He says the charm of this country is the climate, which, thongh very cold at times, is the most invigorating of any on earth. He says Bridger received pay for bis property, but it was, in fact, & forced sale,— the Mormons declaring that they intended to take possession of it any way. Bridger bad & considerable mountain-trade, end received all of his goods by mesns of pack-mules. He sold many goods to the immi ts to California and Oregon, and the Mormons, seeing it was profita~ ble, determined to take possession of it.

Ho suid he had given up betting, leaving that to the sounger people, and declined to act as judge upon this occasion.

Ho struck mess a well-behaved man, and had that peculiar gaunt and wirey look which all mountsineers got.

The most ‘modest and unpretending of all men are those who have lived long upon the borders of our country. They feel s diffidence in regard to themsalves, and, far from putting on airs, seek rather to keep themselves in the background.

BAZAINE. The Marshal in Prison—OQutside and Inside Scenes — Prospects of the Trial. Versaillcs (Oct. 15) Correspandence of the London Tele- gra; §ome Paris newapupers have lstely heon pub- lishing stories respecting tho imprisonment of Marshal Bazaine, which simply prove that the writers have fertile brains_for invention. I called upon the distingnished §rimner yesterdsy, snd cen testify that nothing has been change in the surveillance exercieed over him, and that his health is very much the same a8 it was six months ago—save that the wound he received on the 16th of Angust, 1870, ab Vionville, from the fl-n?mant of a shell, has caused him con- siderable annoyance, To & man who, for Dhalf 3 contury, has led an outdoor ifs, Who, for more than thirty years, was on active gervice 88 a soldier, and who in mind, as well as in body, has never known what it was to pass an idle’ hour, five months' confinement in a very small houge,—with the alternative of going out into a garden some forty yards square, in which there are_three sentries to overfook him, and can gee all he does, a8 well a8 hear every word he eays—wonld, in all likelihood, cause some- thing akin to insanity. But Bazaine seems to be made of sterner stuff. I found himin very ood spirits, and determined, when accused fore & court martial, to defend himself to the utmost. It i8 not easy to obtain permis- sion to visit the Alarshal. Those who have gnch permits have—as 1 had—first to ap- ly to Colonel Gaillard, of the Staft Corps, hief de la Justice Militaire, who submits the pame of the applicant to tho Marshal himself. If the latter expresses a wish to grant the inter- view, 5 pass is given on_which Mr. So-and-so “eat autorise o communiquer avec M. le Mare- chal Bazaine”—the permit being duly stamped with the seal of ¢La fere Division Militaire, Service do 1a Justice,” and_signed by Colonel Gaillard—an officer who will not, I trast, take it amiss if I choose this opportunity of i thiinkio him for his great courtesy and_kindness towar me whon I sought and obtained leave to visitmy old scquaintanco, now in_his charge as prisoner. The houss in which Marshal Bazaine is con- fined is & small detached villa at the further end of the Avenue de Picardie, close to the grille, or iron gate, of Versailles, on therond to St. Cloud. 1t waa for many yoars the domicile of an English gardener named Walter; and the place was after- Ward rented by Colonel Waugh, an Angio-Indian officer, whose name was familiar to newspaper readers some dozen years ago, in connection with the failure of a joint stock bank in London. The garden and the house are both small—abont the size of what can be rented in the outskirts of London for £30 or £35 per annum. The gate of the garden is now of iron, and outside it is a sen- try-box, with & soldier of the line on duty. When s visitor approaches the gate, he1s told by the sentry nob to Ting, bt to knock ; and, this being done, a non-commissioncd officer, who has charge of the premiees, opens to admit him, inspects tho pass, and callstho Marshal's servant, whotakesup tho visitor's name to hismester. Onceinside the garden, I began to realize the fact that the ‘premises formed 8 part of what are called in the pormit : “La Prison Md¥aire Annexe.” There was a gentry close to the windows on the ground floor ; another = little to the right of the house, some ten yards distant ; & third to the “left front,” as a soldier_wonld ssy, of the drawing- room window, and a “ourth a little further round to the left of theJast. No one could, by ‘possibility, move in any park of the small garden without being under the eyes of at least twosen- tries, nor could any conversation be held in the ground without the soldirs hearing all that waa 8aid. About fifteen yards from the house, sepa- rated from the Test of the grounds by a thin hedge, are four or five bedl tents, in_which the guards—a Captain, & sub sltern, and fifty men— are quartered. The guads aro changed evory twenty-four hours. The sentries insido the gar- den, 55 also those Who Watch around the premi- ses outside, are doubled every night. There i algo a subaltorn officer wnder Colonel Gaillard's orders, who regides and sleeps on the premises. The Colonel himself does not sleep in the house, but comes once & day_te visit the prisoner. In curious contrast to all this show of military pre- i little = boy, Achille, & pretty child of some 3 years old, pfl._\infi‘hglea{ul!y in the garden when I went in. 6 rest of Marshal Bazaine's chil- dron—ho has five, the eldest being only 7 Jesss old—are living with their mother in a onse sitaated in the grounds of the convent Notre Dame de Refuge, s short distance from Shero tho Marshal 4@ confined. They come to peo him every dsy with Mme. Bazaine, and re- main from 1 Y m. until dark, when everybody is obliged to leave the premises of the ‘‘Prison Militaire Appexe,” eXcept the officials. The Marshal has two fids-de~camp, both Colonels of the Staff Corps, named Villette snd Magnan. These two gentlemen have all along stood by their chief, in evil as well 88 in good report, and thoy take it by turns, in alternate wesks, to shave his captivity—the one on duty for the time being considered eguelly a prisoner with his chief. - ; I found Marshal Bazaine in very good spirits, copsidering that, for ive long months, he has been confined tothe small house and garden he now ocoupies, He declares that he has nothing whatever to complain of on the part of those who have charge of him, all of them treating ‘him with as much respect as if he wers still in command of the Army of the Rbine. He told me that when, not long 8go, one of his children was dangeronsly ill at_the house where Mmo. ‘Bazaine resides, the Minister of War, unsolicit- od, sent word that the Marshal might go to sco tha child, simply accompanied by Colonel Gail- lard, The er, however, passed away 80 quickly that there was no oecasion for him to take advantage of the Minister's kindness—a Kindness, which, as the Marshal says, he believes to have been prompted by M. Thiers. Of the Intter, ho speaks in the highest terms. T asked ‘him whether be did not fesr the result of the trial. He replied that, for himself, he did not in the least fear ; but that, in dofendmg himeelf, Tio womld be obliged to show up the incapacity, the want of obedience, the genenal softness (mollesse), and want of energy in others, over swhich it would have been far betior to passs wet sponge. He confirmed what I mentioned in my former letter, that he bas mever been told upon what charges he is to b tried, ime he is deemed _guilt and of what_ crime uilty, o hetherit is of o military or of a political offonce that he is accused, 1 spolre of the asser- tion from time to time reiterated by the Red Radical press, that more_ then once he had, hile in command at Metz, held interviews with Prince Frederick Charles and other Germtn Generals. He laughed heartily at the ides, and replied: “Now, my dear sir, do yon, who have ‘been 8 military man—do you believe it possible for an officer who commanded &larfinr.my than a8 assembled in the Crimea to slip in and oub of an invested town like a camp-follower who wants tostesl o few vegetables?

Thoy say that onco upon & time there was_s famine, and the Indians could get no game. Hundreds had died from hunger, and desolation filled their country. All kinds of _ offerings were wade to the Great Spirdt without avail, till one day two hunters came upon & white wolverine, a very rare animal. Upon shooting the wolverine, an old woman sprang out of the skin, and, saying she was o “ Msnito,” promised to go and live with the In- dians, promising them §enting of game as long oo thag troated ‘har well and gave her te frst choice of all the game that should be brought in, The two Indians pssonted to this, and took the old womsn home with them—which event was immediately succeeded by an abundance of game. When the sharpness of the famine hac passed, the Indians became dainty in their appetites, and complained’ of tho manner in which the old woman took to herself all the choice bits; and this feoling became 80 intenso thaf, motwithstanding her wam- ings that if they violated their promises s terriblo calamity would come upon the Indians, they one dey killed hor as she seized upon her share of a fabt reindeer which the hunters had brought in. Great consternation immediately atrack the witnesses of the deed, 20d the Indians, to escape tho predicted calam- ity, boldly struck their tents and moved away to a great distance.

A G i THE PHYSICAL VALUE OF PRAYER. The Common Ground of Scienee and Theology, and Their Point of Diverg= ence—Opposing Theories of Pricsts and Savans. P Professor Tyndall in the Popular Science Monthly. The editor of the Cantér%araq/ Review is lib- eral enough to grant me gpaco for o few brief re- flections on & subject, a former reference to which in these pages has, I beliove, brought down upon him snd me & considerable amount of animadversion. 1t may be interesting to some if I glance a2t a few cases illnstrative of the history of the hu- man mind in relstion to this and kindred sub- jects, In the fourth century, the belief in anti- odes was_deemed unscriptural and heretical. ho pious Lactantius was 28 angry with the peo- ple who held this notion s my Censors axe Wwith me, and quite 88 unsparing in his denuncis- tions of their _* monatrosities.” Lactan- tius was frritated because, in his mind, by edacation and habit, cosmogony and religion wero indissolubly associated, and therefore simultaneonsly dissolved. In the early part of the seventeenth century the notion that the eerth was fixed, and that the sun and etars re- volved round it daily, was interwoven in a sim- ilar manner with religious feeling, the_ separa- tion_then attempted by Gelileo arousing ani- ty and kindling persecution. Men still living can remember the indignation excited by the first revelations of geology_rogarding the age of the earth, tho association” between chro- nology and religion being for the time indissolu- ble. In our day, however, the best-informed clergymen are prepared to admit that our views of tha universe and its author are not impaired, but improved, by the abandonment of the Mo- Baic necount of the creation. Look, finally, ab tho oxcitement coused by the publication of the “Origin of Spocies,” and compare it with the calm’ attendant on the appearance of the fer ‘more ontspoken and, from the old point of view, ‘more impious ‘“Descent of Man.” Thus Teligion survives after the removal of what had been long considered essential to it. Tn our days the antipodes sreaccepted, the fixity of the enrth is given up, the period of creation ond the roputed age of the world are alike dis- sipated, evolution is looked upon without terror, and other changes have occurred in the same di- rection too pumerous £o be dwelt upon hers, In fact, from the earliest times to the prescnt, re- ligion hios been undergoing a process of purifi- cation, freeing itself slowly and painfully from the physical errors which the busy and unin- formed intellect mingled with the aspiration of the soul, and which ignorance sought to mae— uate. Some of us think & final act of purifica- tion remains to be performed, while others op- pose this notion with the confidence and the warmth of ancient times. ~The bone of contention at present ia the physical value of prayer. It is mot my wish to excite surprise, much less to draw forth protest by the employment of this phrase. I “would simply ask any intelligent person_to look the problem honestly and stel in_the faco, then to say whether, in the estimation of the great body of those who sincerely resort to it, prayer does not, at all events upon special occa~ &ions, invoke a power which checks and aug- ments the descent of rain, which changes the force and direction of winds, which affects the growth of corn and the health of men and cat- tle—a power, in short, which, when appealed to under pressingcircumatances, produces the pre- cise effocts caused by physical “energy in the or- dinary course of things. To suy person who deals !inca.rah' with the subject, and refuses to ‘blur his moral vision by intellectuel subtleties, this, I think, will appear a true statement of the case. Tt ia under this aspect alone that the scientific student, o far as I represent bim, has any wish to meddle with preyer. Forced upon his atten- fion 88 & form of physical energy, or a8 the equivalent of such energy, he claims the right of subjecting it to those methods of examination from which all our present knowledge of the physical universe is derived. And if his Te- searches lcad him to a conclusion adverse to its claims; if his inquiries rivet him still closer to the philosophy enfolded in_the words, ‘He maketh hie sun to shine on the eyil and on the good, snd sendeth rain upon the just and upon the unjust,” ho contends only for the displace- ment of prayer, not for its extinction. He sim- ply says physical nature is not ita legitimate do- main. This conclusion, moreover, must be based on pure physical evidence, and ot on any inherent unressonableness in the act of prayer. The the- ory that the system of nature js under the con- trol of & being who changes phenomens in co liance with the prayers of men, i, in my opin- ion, & {:r(ecuy legitimate one. It msay, of course, ondered futils by being sssociated with conceptions which contradict it, but such conceptions form s necessary park of tho theo It is o matter of experiencc that an e ly father, who is at the same time both wise and tender, listens to the requests of his children, and, if they do not ask amiss, takes pleasure in granting their requests. We know also thst this compliance exterds to the alteration, within certein limits, of the current of events on carth. With this suggestion offered by our ex- perience, it i8 mo_departure from scientific method to place behind natural phenomena s universal father, who, in answor to the prayers of his children, alters the currents of those phenomena. Thus far theology and and science gohandin hsnd. The conception of an ether, for example, trembling with the waves of light, is suggested by the ordinary phenomens of wave-motion in'water and in'air; and in like manner the conception of personal volition in nature is sugicsted by the ordinary action of man upon earth. I, therefore, urge no impossi- bilities, thongh you conatantly 6 me with doinfi 80. Ido not even “fi&f“"m ency, but, on the contrary, frankly it that you have a8 good & Tight to Place your conception af the Toot of the phenomena as I have to fima mine. . But, without verification, & coretic concep- tion is & mere figment of the intellect, and I am sorry to ind us parting company at this point. The'region of theory, both in science and theol- ogy, lies behind the world of the senses, but the verification of theory occura in the sensible world. To check the theory, we have only to compare the deductions from it with the facts of observation. If the deductions bein accordance with the facts, we accopt the theory; if in Oppo- sition, the theory i given up. A single experi- ment 18 frequently devised by which é\e theory ‘must stand or fall. OF this character was tho determinstion of the velocity of light in liguids as & crucial test of tho emission theory. Ac- cording to_Newton, light travelled faster in water than in air ; according to an experiment suggested by Arago, and executed by Fizean and Foucault, it travelled faster in air than in water, ’g‘e experiment was conclusive against Newton's eory. But while acience cheerfally submits to_this ordeal, it seems impossible to devise 2 mode of verification of their theory which does mof arouse resentment in theological minds. Is it that _while the plessure of the_scientific men culminatesin the demonstrated harmony be- tween theory and fact, tho highest pleasure of the religious man has been already tasted in the very act of praying, prior_to verification, sny further effort in this direction being a mere dis- turbance of hispeaco? Or is it that weo heve before us a residue of that mysticism of the middle sges which has been so admirably de- gcribod by Whevwell—that ¢ practice of referring things and events not to clear 2nd dis- tinct notions, mot to general rules capa- ble of direct verificatio but to notions vaguo, distant, and vast, which we cannot bfimi into contact with facts, as we conncet batural evonts with moral and historic csuses. * * * Thus,” he continues, * the character of mysti- cism is thatit refers to particulars, not to gen- eralizations, homogeneous and immediate, but tosuch a8 are heterogeneous and remote, to which we must sdd that the process of this ref- onco is nob & calm ack of the intellect, butis ac- companied with a glow of enthusiastic feeling.” Every feature here depicted,—and some more questionable ones, have shown themselves of za}tb; most conspicnously, I regret te say, in the “1eadors " of a waekly journal of considerable influence, and one on “many grounds entitled to the respect of thonghtful men. In the corres spondence, however, published by the same Joma, 5 5 e S o o Te lohes e . ect the tem tie ness of the journal itself. Liotiet acy Tt is not my habit of mind to thinl otherwise than solemnity of the feeling which prompt prayer, 1t is a potency yhich? should Eike to see guided, not extinguished, dovoted to pracki- cable objects instead of wasted upon air. some form or other not yet evident, it may, a8 alleged, be necessary t0 man's highest cuiture. Qertain if is that, Wwhile many persons +who employ it low in the scale of being, natural foolishness, bigotry,and intolerance being in their case intensifiod by the motion that others who employ it as formin, part of the very cream of the earth. The faith that simply adds to the folly and ferocity of the ome is tumed to enduring sweetness, holiness, abounding charity, and nelf-sacrifice by the other. Christianity, in fact, varies with the nature upon which it falls, Often unressonsble, if nof cou- temptible, in its urer form prayer bints at dis- ciplines which f%w of us can neglect Without morel loss. But no good can come of giving it 5 delusive value by claiming for it a power in physical nature. It may strengthen the heart to meet life's losses, and thus indirectly promote physical well-being, as the dxggmg_ of Asop’s orchard brought a treasure of fertility greater than the tresure sought. Such indirect issues e all admit; but it would be simply dishonest to affirm that it is_such issues that are always in view. Here, for the present, I must end. no space to reply to those reilers who make such free use of the terms insolence, outrage, pro- fanity, sud blasphemy. They obviously the sobriety of mind necessary to give accaracy to their statements or to render their charges worthyof serious refutation. SNAKE-CHARMING IN LONDON. The eminent English zoologist, Mr. Frank Buckland, editor of Land and Water, tells the following story in his newspaper: *Snakes are regarded with horror and repugnance by the gonerality of mankind, snd womankind, and for this reason their habits and instincts have notb ‘been sufficientlystudied. Snakes may be broadly divided into polsonous and not poigonous. Asa rule, poisonous enskes will get out of & man's way 1f not attacked or insulted. I do nov recommend people tryin i to tame poison- ous snskes, mor do advise _them o charm them after the fashion of Indian jug- flars, though, 2s bas been often shown hese poisonous enakes are generally ¢doctared as regards their fangs, before the exhibition takes place. 'There is now & gentleman in Lon- don wgn hasa c.hmninf family of pet snakes— barmless, of course. This gentleman’s name is Mapn. Heiss professor of music, and lives in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. Mr. Maun called on me & dsy or two since st my office, and raquested me to give him assistance, as he had got intoa M:‘iset with his neighbors about keeping his enakes. t Anxious to be of service_to this gentleman, I called at the honse, in order to examine his snakery. He placed in the middle of the room alarge box, which was carofully Jocked. He told ™e tie box was always locked, unless he or his wife took omt the snakes tofeed or examine them. The first ho produced from the box was & very fine common British snake (Coluber natriz). ‘His enakes bave all got names, sod this one's name was Julis. Julis had long ago Inid thirty-six eggs, which were hatched out suc~ cessfully. The next was also a common British gnake. The ring around the neck was very ‘bright in this snake. Bhe rejoices in the name of gylvin. Sylvia is very good at frogs; lately, she ate nine frogs, seven large frogs, and two small, st onemeal, oneafter the other. Ar. Mann has also two other common &nakes, whose names are Proteus and Beatrice, or ehe of the olden hair. This modern snake-charmer then ived his hand 1nto the box, and brought out an oxceedingly lively brown-colored smake. The hend is, romarkably pretty nd lizard-like, and it has the power of moving the head very quickly from side to side; the eye is also yomorkably brilliant, This snake was broughf from Jamrach; it is called s Lacertine, and comes from the coast of Mogedor, Northern Af- Tica; it 18 perfectly harmless. Mr. Mann has had the Lacertine abont twenty months. Itissa pretty, elegant creaturs. It feeds on white mice. “Mr, Mann then showed me the gem of his collection. It is & remarksbly handsome Bra- zilian bos, measuring between five and six feef long, and weighing from welve to fourteen pounds. The name of this smake is ‘Cleo,’ short for Cleopatra. Continual handling and petting hss caused this smake to be- come most remarkably tame, 2nd I fhink there can be no dombt she Imows individuals. When placed on the table, Cleo would not come to me at all, but glided away, to ‘her master, who was sitting st the opposite side of the table, and stretching her body from the table to the chair, gradually pulled her long length on to him. ~She then glided up his right side, and folded her coils round his neck, placed her head close to her master's face, and there she lsy for some minutes, quivering her black forked tongue with evident pleasure. Mr. Manu's two little children, aged 5 and 6 respect- ively, then came into the room. They imme- diately ran to the anake and commenced playing with it, kissing it and pulling it, adling #Cleo; dear Cleo.” Cleo was then made to glide on the floor; the children ran after hor and picked her up, snd the little ffifl’ picking_her up, put her round her neck o5 boa. (I wonderif this was the origin of the word boa?) Cleo evidently enjoyed the fun a8 much as tho children. It was very curions to see these two children encircled in Cleo's ponderous folds, reminding me much of the cel- ebrated statue of the Laocoon, and if X recollect right, themarble children in the statue are re Tehonted 55 about ho ssme age and size as Alx. Menn’s two children. Cleoisa perticular favor- ite of Alrs, Mann's, and I saw a very nice photo- fnyh of her, with Cleo coiled around her neck. subsequently saw Mrs. Mann in this attitude with her pet énake, Cleo has shed her skin several times, and it is_curious to remark that she shed her skin ten times in two years. Mr. Mann has the last skin shed. I¢ isquib:}:adect, ond a8 thin as tissue-paper ; and I should think would make & good pattern for fancy lace-work. “(Cleo feeds principally on pigeons. If a pigeon s put into her cage, and she is not hun- gry, she scems to make friends with the gi eon, #nd will never attempt to eat it. Should, how- ever, a fresh pigeon be put into her cage, she will devour it instantly. ~Bhe feeds once a fort- night, and two pigeons will last her for that time, Mr. Mann baa observed that, when let Jooss, Cleo always tries to climb upward, where- a8 the Larcertine always seeks the ground. Cleo ‘most certainly knows her master and mistress. Once when they went out of town, Cleo was left behind. She pined and would not feed during their absence. VWhen Mr.and Mrs. Mann re- turned, after six weeks' absence, Cleo, on hear- ing he? mistress’ voice, instantly rashed out of her box, coiled herself round her, and kissed her face. She evidently recognized her kind friends and protector. “ Mr. Mann has also another large Indian python, but this enake is not vary well, and has gr'\vufle apartments to itself in a leathern carpet- ag. The snake will feed out of Mr. Mann's hand. The common &nake eats frogs only ; the Tacertine eats white mice; the python delights in guinea-pigs. Altogether, I was exceedingly glaued with Mr. Mann's collection of snakes. y his very successful snake-taming he has opened up quite anew chapter in natural his- tory, snd bas shown what persevering kindness will do in taming snakes, poor creatures, which ‘have hitherto been thounght to have little or no intelligence.” —_——— Re-Discovery of The Open PolarSea. Captain Nils Johnson, who sailed in o yacht of 26 tone’ burden from Fromsoe, Norway, My 8 ith 8 crew of nine men, has just been heard from throngh Dr. Peterman, of Gotha, Germany, Who malkes public these intéresting facts: Cap- tsin Johneon directed his course in June toward the western half of the open ses, reaching, in the latter part of the month, the middle of the usual position of the polar stream which bears vast masses of ice toward the Spitzenbergen and the Bear Islands, but which this year deflected toward Nova Zembla, further east, leav.og the western half of the sen free from ice. Spendin a portion of the time in whale-fishing, he h by Aug. 16 reached 78 degrees northIstitude, and 30 degrees onst longitude, where hecamoin sight of land, which first appeared npon maps in 1817 28 Wicheland, and which was_then given as ex- ‘tending from 7334 degrees to 753 degroes north Totituds. | Tho 1sad o5 fhese. seas, bowever, has never been vory definitelylocated. The whole sea to the south and east of this land Captain Jq 0131- n gon found entirely free from ice on Aug. 16. the 17th of August, he anchored near the p of this land in north Intitnde 79 degrees 8 min- utes and east longitude 30 degrees 15minutes, for the purposo of fishing and supplying himself with fuel from the immense piles of driftwood which were nccumulated alongthe shore. Land- ing to explore the land, which he was first to get foot upon, hie ascended & mountsin near the const, from which ho_obtained s view over a wide circnit. He thus discovered that the land masses, which had been anpgosed to be separ- atod by channels into three large islands, were lfiwnfinou though ted 3 ore were also finnmber ‘of outlying islands. On the even- ing of the 17th of August, Coptain Johnson again set sail, and followed during that might and the two successive days the entire eust and sontheast const of the land, which was everywhere, as well a8 the open ses, far and wide, wholly destitate of ice. The ocean lying toward the éast-northeast was also gerfscdy free of ice, so Tar a8 it Was distinguieha le from the summit of the hills. Only on the morth coast was there any ice. Among the most important discoverios made by Captain Johmson were the fauna and flors, of these far northern lands. Birds, eals, and reindeer sbounded, tho latter ‘of remarkable fatness. The immense Jongitudi- nal piles of driftwood, which xan slong the enst~ ern const some 20 feet above the highest tidal mark, are suggestiveof the current conditions of the Arctic Ocean, and alsoof the pmteom!ogm and other atmospheric commotions in the *icy seas.” to_for COAL. Xts Origine . . _From the Cornhti Magazine, A mistaken impression i8 somewhat widely provalent that, in the coal-fields, we have the Temains of ancient foreste—in other words, it i suppased that wherever there was a forest in primeval times there now exists s _coal-field of reater or less extent. In connection with this view, also, the opinion is entertained that the forests now in existence will, in_the process of time, and after due geological changes, become the coal-beds of fature ages. But, slthough, as we shall presently eee, the coal-fields are un- doubtedly due to the vegetation of former eras, it is far from being the case that tite primeval forests pecame converted in a general way into cosl. Bonditions of a peculiar, and to_some ex- tont exceptional, character were requsite for the formation of coal-fields. If we consider the evidence given by the coal-fields themselves, we shall see what these conditions were. Thd beds or seams of coal form but a small por- tion of the thickness of the great geological group of strata to which they for the most part appertain. This group is called the carboniferous, and not uncommonly ‘the Cosl;” but even where coal is most abundant, it forms only s minute part of the whole mass, Thus it has been estimated, Sir Charles Lyell tellsus, thatin South Wales the thickness of the carbopiferous strats amounts, in all, to be- tween 11,000 and 12,000 feet (or more than two miles); # but the varions coal seams do not,” ac- cording to_Professor Phillips, ‘“‘exceed in the aggrogate 120 feat,” or less than one-hundredth part of the whole. In North Lancashire the carboniferons strata occupy a depth of more than three miles. Here, no fewer than eighty seams of coal have been counted (seventy-one haying been exposed by the action of the sea); ‘ut these seams are nowhere more than fiye feet | in thickness, and many are but & few inches thick. Thus, it is evident that the formation of conl can have been in progress but & short por- tion of the time during which the carboniferous series of strata was in process of deposition. Thronghonut by far the greater portion of that time other minerals were being %Knmtad. It is next to be noticed that under each conl seam 3 stratum of ancient soil existg, in which thera are commonly found the roots of ancient trees, while above the coal there is commonly a layer of shale or sandstons, in which not nnfrequently the trunks of those trees are found either fallen or still in their nrlijinnl ogition, and only partly converted into coal. e bark remains, but is transmitted into coal; the hollow of the truak, decaying long before the trunk gave way, is rep- resented by a cast in eandstone. Thus, if we try to picture to_ourselves the state of things which existed when such & seam of coal first be- gan to be covered up by the next higher deposit, o ses that there must have been trees standing erect above a layer of vegetabla matter, theroots of the trees being imbedded in_the soil which forms the deposit next below the coal —The vegetable layers may probably have heen two or three times as thick as the resulting coal seam, and wero redued by prossuro io their present thickness ; but su iyers can notb &t any time have renched to the branches of the forest trees. Then the process of deposition began. This can only have happened when some subsidence of the soil had cansed it _to be submerged to a_greater or less depth. We can infer from the depth of the strata overlying the coal seams that this state of submergence continued in many cases for s long period_of time ; snd it is equally clear ihat the formation of the vegetable layers themselves must bave been & process occupying & considerable time, gince tall trees grew before the next submer- gence took place. So soon a8 submergence was Complete, the tall trees perished and began_to decsy. The stout t abova the vegetablo Iayer wero broken off and swept away by the géa. The forest itself, brop 1y €0 called, was for the most _part destrosed. It was the decay- ingrefuse of the forest, intermixed with the lower growths, which formed the coal seam 2s it now exists. Among these wersthe lower g%l‘ts of the trunks of the ancient forest trees. ege became converted, like the rest of the vegetable matter, into coal. pessti g Telegraphic Brevities.
