Judge Caton, of Oitaws, read & paperon “ Ar- tesian Welis,” of which tho tollowing is & full summary : S0 far as T sm sdvisod, the subject of the regularity and coutinuity of tie flow of artesian wells bas scarce.y received tus aitention which jts importance deserves. Tho geoiogist liua been interested and inatructed, by a etudy of tue strala pierced by them. Tho chernist has analyzed their waters, and hos been interested to ob- acrve the changes which tako placo as differcnt Birata are passed through, and as found in. different though contrguous locatious ; but a¢ last the great practical Qquestio, is water,—quantity,—its constant and per- Thnnent supply, as weil as quality, far, till this is as- sured. investents cannot safely be mada depending upon it. Dunng the last summer 1 sunk an artesian well in the valley of the Dlinoia River, at the foot of the binfr on which my residence ntands, first through 12 feet of cartn, then abous 140 feet of St Peter's sandstone, thex 6 feet of shake, then 120 feet of lime rock, and then apout U5 feet of Poledam sandstono—in all 373 feet. During the pastaga through the lims rock, the water commenced dowing over thesurface, aud every dsy the quantity was obscrved to increase, and when finished, By a ruds and unsatisfactory reode of measuring, e flow was found to be 6& gallons per minute; and when the hesd was ruised 15 inches higher, thie flow wau 55 gallons per minuie. The well is tubed for 153 fuet with 4-inch iron yupe. After various un- Eaafactory experiments with small hydraulic rawms, 1 finally turned the water into a tank, 6 feet in diameter, 2nd Boldiug (00 gallons ; from this, through o &-inch discharge ur drive pipe, the water is conducted toa ‘hydraunc ram of the largest size, located 10 feet below tlie upper end of tke drive pipe, and over 50 feet dis- {snt, Thecentre of the drive pipe is 11 inches above the foor of the tank., 1 soon observed :hot sometimes {ie wter would onlyrise tothe centreof the drive mipe, 20d ot otber times it would be 3 feet or more sbove it. At first I aitributed this to {lie ram, supposing that it discharged the more frecly ot ope timo Lhan at others ; but upon observing that it always beat more rapidly with the high head than with 1ho Yow, I became suiiafied that there was actually an srreguiarity in the flow of the well—that it discharged 1more water at some times toan at others, 'In order to maka s commencement in the investiga- tion suggested by the phenomenon already observed, ¢ Qirectedmy gardener to measure the lelghtof the water in the tank thres times a day, Dote the measure- rents and report to me at theend of the month.

"'hat there moy be some ocuult lawa affecting the fiow Of SUbLECrAnean Wator We may not be prepared L0 deny. Indeed, the commou law baa always assumed that such is the case, for it absolutaly refuses to take cognizance of such flow uniesa a clear and distinct chaunel can be traced througi which the water flows.

DISCUSSION. A brief dizcussion foliowed the reading of the paper, in which Messrs, Richardson, Chesbrough, Coibeit, Dr. Audrows, and Judge Caton took part, Mr. Chesbiough suggested that perhaps the irregularitics in tae flow, mentioned by Judga Caton, were caused by looss fragments of rock getting into the uatwral chaouels of the wells, &ud impeding the course of the water. GBEATIOX OF EVOLUTION. A puper on the ** Creation of Evolution™ was then read by Prof. Delafoutaine. It was s long essay in defense of Darvivisin, and in_opposi- tion to the theories of creation entertaived by the late Prof. Agassiz and other eminent sci- entists. THE PENDULUM EXPERINENT. 3r. Eliss Colbert resd a snort paper on the proposed pendulum experiment. Ho said the Exposition’ building offered a tina opportuaity for repeating the experiment by whick it was demons:rated that the earth turned round on her axis duly. It was twenty-three years eince M. Leon Foucault suspended lus peaduJum from the dome of the anthoon, in Paris, and set the scientitic _world in a blaze of excitement, The experiment hiad been repeated in many of the citics of Europe, and_at two or_three points in the Eastern Siates, but it had never been tried in the West so far as tho speakeg kuew. The Directors of the Exposition Building had signified their willingnoss to les it be used for the experiment, aud it was the duty of the Academy to take some action in the matter, and, if possiole, let the peoplo have ocular demon= stration that the'world teally did move, as they thev had been taught to believe at school. The General Committee wus instructed to at- tend to tbe exporiment, and tho Academy ad- journed. THE FARMERS MOVEMENT.

The cere- monies of organization tovk place to-day at Eldon Hall, Fayette strest. Fiftean subordinaie Granges bave teen formed in the State, and there is o full attendance here of the Masters. Last evening an informal social gathering of the Patrons and their wives was brought to a close by an address from Deputy E. J. Ohr, of Iows, who Bpoke upon the prospects of the Ordex throughout ~the country. The . proceedings this morning wero secret, and pertained only to the_organization of the State Grange. The following officers were then elected and duly wmstalled for tho easuing, two years : Worthy Master, Joseph T. Moore, Mozt~ Fomery County ; Overseer, Jobu C.

In order to carry out the provieions of the act, the President was directsd o appointa Comumissioner and alternate from cach State in the Union, to meet in _Philadelphia. ‘The Will was spproved in March, 1871, and the Commiseion met m the fall of the same year, but found they were unable to carry out the financial portion of the watter. They went to Congress in 1872, and Laod an act passed creatiug the . CENTENNIAL EOARD OF FINANCE. That Board has the sole churge of the ralsing of money, the making of contracts, the auditing of ac- counts, and tho spending of the money subscribed by the stockbolders, It wad organized in June of last year, and, to organize it, it wi necessary to Lava etock subscriptions, Under the direction of ths Comumis- sion, the Enancial corporators of each State were di- rected to meet and open subscription books for 100 days. For thut pariod, each State was ‘wilowed 16 take to much stock und no more, At the expiration of the 100 days there were 16,00 stock- Tolders, and they elected the Board of twonty-fvo Directors, who uow control the finances of the Expo- vition, They met in June, and’ determined the way the nceounts should be organized, arranged, and ke and the way they should continue the receiving of sub- scriptions o the etock. In the mon:h of September they decided that the Umion should be divided into five districis, West, Norihwest, South, Middle, and New England, a committee to have charge of each and obtain subscriptions, I awm hero to represent the Western Comunttes, THE STOOK, The stock of the Ceutennial Loard of Finance Is $10,000,000, di led into 1,000,000 shsares of $10 each, paysble eliber in full at the time of subscription, or 20 per ceut down—g2 per share—and the remaining 83 per ceus in four quarterly psyments Legiuniug three inonths from tbe Arst month succeeding the month of subscription, InterestatGper cent is paid every stockholder from the day of payment to the 1st of January, 18i.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. Another Letter fromx Mr. G. W, Khomitse To the Editor of The Chicuwo Tribune: Sm: Claiming that tho charge of illegal me- tion on the part of tho Doard of Trusices of the University of Chicago, made in your issue of Sept. 7, 1878, is incapable of proof from the ofiicial records of eaid Board, I deaire to intro- duce the following statement of John W. Grigzs, the Troasurer of said Univeraity, to the notice of your readers, though not admitting that it is in any wise essential to my argument : Cuicaco. Jan. 13, 1874, Having held the office of Tre:surer of the University of Chicugo since October, 1872, aud duxing that time been engagod in writing up the accounts: of 1ho Uni- versity since the desth of J. . Woodworth, its former Treasurer, and havinghad occaston to eximing the books and accounts pretty thorouglly in all de- partments, Lam prepared to say that 1 have uever found anyibing, suywheroin the books or records of the University, indicating that Dr. Burroughs has ever been in debt 10 the University, or that be ever had any hand in keeping ita accounta or books in any way, On the contrary, it appears that he Lss often pald the notes and debts of the Unjversity out of his own pri- vate funds, and used bis own individual credit for the help of the University when its trewsnry was empty. I have written up bis socount for thelst five years, aud find that » balance of over $10,000 is due him to-duy for tmoneys of his own used to discharge the indebtedness of the University. Fuarthermore, I find that,urona settlement, eeveial veara ago, of Dr. Burroughs’ ac- count with » Committes of the Trustecs, thers wasa balance then fn Lis favor of mors than $10,000, for which, st Dr. Burroughs’ fcquest, the Trustees gavo him certificates of scholarships for a part of the bal- ance due bim. thus making a generous donation to the University of that amouni, and giving bim » dus-bill drawing interest for the balunce, which due-bill is still unpaid, end, 80 Ser 38 I kuow, bas never heen called for. "Jous W. GRIGas, Treasurer University of Chicago. I desire in this matter always to adduce facts and names. I am free to assert thatI think fair-minded men will admit that [ am not in any gense bound to wait loug for a plea of « Guilty” or ** Not guilty” on the part of the person who is in duo form called upon to make answer in my communicativn published in yoar issue of this date. Iobservo that one Leander Stone, whom I incidentally alluded to as aa agent of Dr. W. W. Everts in securing the publication of jtho articla of Sopt. 7, 1873, 1egarding the Univorsity of Chicago, bas voluntanly informed us that he, before preseoting said articlo for publication, *“gatistied bimsclf, by the examination of ofiicial documents, and by conversation with old mem- Ders of the Board, and with its former Secretary, that oll the allegations therein contsined were substantially txue.” Dr. Everts, against whom the chmge at prescnt stands, is mot, then, tho only indorser of the article in general aud in patticular. Mr. Loander Stone, over his own signaturs, desires to assume a share of the responsibility. Mr. Thomas, not sappearing for Dr. Burronghs. but for the Uni- versity of Chicazo, will leave Dr. Burrougus himself to attend to the young man who, over his own signature, ssserts that partial and un- just statements ™ in regard to cortain gentlemen “ have been published, both in this city and at the East, throngh Dr. B.'s inflaence, or throngh the influence of his friends, as is believed with his sanciion,” The collection of ervidence so « conscientiously ” made (although gratuitous- 15, tho demand for information_being made up- on Tue TRIBUNE, aided by the indorser, Dr. Ev- erts), being, in the main, u collection'of “im- pressions,” hearseys, etc., is valuable in this one particular oaly: It onge more brings to the surface thé man whose name alone has thas far appeared in the matter. Need I menticn tho +~ upcompensated, disinterested, self-sacriticing, perhaps most successful sorker for tho Univer- it Dr. W. W. Everts? ‘['his man, entirely free, by reason of the ex- alted character given him in tho entirely disin- terested remarks which introdaco his letter, from auy suspicion of ‘‘ex-parte statements’ or work dono by “asingle Land,” proceeds to say, over his own sijnature, that, after his connection with the Board of Trustees™ (please stick a pin there), *there was a growing com- plaint from year to year of the incompleteness and unsatisfactoriness of tho President's re- ports.” Ho further distinclly states, over his own signature, that a cortan’ Committo, after some months' deliberation, *‘reported a plan for closing tho accounts,” **nol claiming of Thim moneys that he had. received,"—proceeding ludicrously to add, “but for wlich he had no vouchers.” Verily, how “ perilous to any great finaucial enterpnse ” the *looge busincss man- agement ” that omitted to tako vouchera for moneys received ! Not having time to run around to co'lect evi- dence from members of Committecs, preferring to trust to the official records of the Board for their aoiugs, 1 would suggest to this Leander Stono, who. I suprose, knows the names of the men on the Committee alluded to. that be kindly inform them of what Dr. W. W. Everts asserted regarding them. My business i8 with the principal, Dr. W. W. Everts. 1am waiting for ** Qbserver” to como Torward, acknowledge his work, and proceerl fo malke true and faithful answer as to who mado tho original allegation bringing into bad reputo the good name of the Univessity of Chicago. Ciicago, Jan. 13, 1874 G. W. THOMAS. Progress of Catholicism in the TUnited States, rrom the Catholic Telegraph. On tho testimony of accurately-prepared sta- tistics, and our own observation as a priest in o large city for mote thao a decade of years, we can eay, without the slightest fear of mistake, that nowbere in the wotld does the Catholic faith stiow so much coduring and wide-spread vitality as in the United States. With many obstacles in our path, of which the Catholic pricsthood in other lands know nothing, laboring in the midst of poverty and ignorance for which the superior “civilization” of Europe is responsible, we agsure the learned editor of the Univers that there would have been no smonlderiag ruins in Pais to record tho *savage” trinmph of ind- delity had that unfortunate city contained as many true Catholics as any one of the Jarge cities of this country. There are pearly 40,000 of nominal Catholics in France. We can count but onc-fifth of that oumver; and yet there are more sacraments receiv: auy one year by the adult portion of Catholic Americans than by the whole French nation. ———— Catacazy. The late Gov. Orr, in one of the few dis- patches which he wrote during the short period which iotervened between his arrival at St. Petorsburg and his death, spoke thus of lus re- ception by Princo Gortschakoff : “Ihad ashort butagrecable interview with the Prince. He roferred to the Catacazs affair, and expressed regret at its occurrence. He said that Catacazy was a shrewd man, of good ability and a fine writer, who had been with bim four or five years in the foroign office, who be thought woild be of great service in' America, but that he turned out s meddlesome fellow, greatly lacking in judgmoot. He was, thare- !core.l 10 longer in tho service of ths Govern- ment.” BOARD OF EDUCATION. L The Lessecs of School.Lands Will Not Pay Up. The Morrison Estate Squatters on the. Dearborn Lot---Miscellanes, ous Business. The Board of Education held s regular meet- ing yestorday evening, present, President King, and Meswrs. Bluthardt, Calkins. Goggin, Hamn. bleton, Richberg, Ruoyan, Sheldon, Stons, Wells, and Wilce. BUILDINGS. The reading of the minutes of previous meet- ing having been dispensed with, Mr. Richberg prescated a petition from a number of property- owners in the vicinity of Wicker Park, asking for the eroction of a school-house, for which a lot bad already been purchased. The petition was placed on filo, it being expisived thata building was already moying there. . Tho Committee on Buildings and Grounds re- ported that they had received bids for the romoval of the frame building on the Rolliug’ Mill lot to the now site on Evergreon street, aud Lad awarded tho contract, subject to the ap- proval of the Board, to tho lowes: bidder, Jacob Begker, for $425. - A BINFUL JANTTOR. Mr. Richberg stated tbas tho jagitor of the Calumet school had not given eatisfaction for somo time, and that hiy babits were such as to make it undesirable that he should remaia thero twenty-fours longer. He therefors moved thab the jauitor be removed, and that the Committeo on Janitors and Supplies be authorized to ap- poinz a men to fill the vacansy. The resolution was adopted. . AFTER THE TENANTS. Mr. Goggin called the attention of the Board to the fact that thers was a squatter on the Dearborn school lot on Madison stroet; that there was a claim of $30,000 against the estate of Asa Peck, which amount could be obtained by asking for it from the Trustce, Mr. Shoroy; that the School fund had aoother claim of #50,000 against the Town of Cicero, and that the uncolleted rents of school property amounted to nearly $80,000. o thought that somothing should be done to brinz the tenan's to time, an to.collect tha amount of these claims. Ho fur- ther moved that the School Agont bo ordered to report monthly to the Board the names of ten- ants in acrears for rent and the smounts due. 3lr. Wilco explained that the claim against the Asa Pock eatate was already in tho hands of the law officers of the city, and in relation to the claim againet the Town of Cicero, if Mr. Goggin Inesw of any way to collect it, the Board would doubtless ba pleased to hear it. The year had been & hard ope. aud whila the tenants had beon called upon regularly they had, in many cases, boen upable to psy their rent for some. timo, Some had agreed to pay s portion, tiwo months at a-time, and this was the best arrangémont that could be made for the present. lr. Fitch, whose arrears amounted to 25,000, was about to make 1 loan which would cnable lum to pay upin full. Mr. Goggin said that the real question was whother thers was anyone to attend to the mat- ter, and. if £0, Whoso business was it ? Mr. Wilco moved that the matter bo referred to the Judiciary Committee, with power to act. Alr. Blu:hardt moved that Ar. Gezgio be ap- pointed a speeial Committeo of one o attend to the collection of rents. eto. President King suzzosted that Mr. Goggin could not ba expected £5 give Lis time a8 a law-. yer withous compensation, and the Board could 1ot employ one of its uwn members. Mr. Richberg then offered, as o substitute, a resolution that the whole matter be referrad to the Scaool Agent, with instructions to proceed with the coliection of ronts as fast as possible, and to report the names of tenants ip arrears and the smount to the Board. Yhe resoiution was adopted. . ¢ Mr. Goggin stated that thers werea number of bequests from tho MORRISON ESTATE which were abou to lapse, owing to the failure of the heirs and legatees to comply with the conditions of tho will, and which were to fail to the School Fund. Mr. Goggiu said that thero bad been a bill tiled by these heirs and others to cszablish title to this estate, and that it would come up Wednesday on default day uless the city defended 1ts title, and he thought taak soms | &tops ehould be taken to look after it, eapecially a8 the law officers of the city would not have the time. The property would soan be worth about £1,000,000. 9 3r. Ruoyan thought that as the citvwasa party o tha suit thie Jaw department oaght to ba able to provide at least one or kwo, out of its six lawyers, to attend to this matter. No further action was taken, Mr. Kingstatiog that he would see the Mayor and Corporation Counsel on the matter, and advise with them as to tho course {o bo pursued. g TOE SUPERINTENDENT. Buperintendent Pickard recommended that, owing to the crowded condition of the Rolling- Mill and Western Avenue Schooly, in tha upner deparment, that thoy be made grammar schools, and that the Principals be given tho rank and- pay of grammar school teacaers. On motion, these recommendations were adopted. On motion, the Builsing and Supply Commit- tee woro suthorized to procure the necessary apparatus for fitting the Western Aveaue School 28 n grammar, echool. = . In being stated that the blinds in the TFoster School waze 80 arranged as to cut off Lalf the light from the wicdo! and that the windows.in ose room ia tho Doro School were so poorly fitted as to keop tha room continually ooldk’botd. matters were referred to tho Comamitiee on Buwildings and Grounds. Ou the Superintendent’s recommendation, a full cetificate was granted Muss Marriaono S. Wilcox, of the Haven School. TEACHERS. On the Superintendent's recommendation Miss Isapella Cowan and Misa Hnnnah P. Gay were mads First Assistants at Brown and Ogden Schools respectively. "The Poard then proceeded to ballot for a prin- cipal fér the Blue Island Avenuo School. 1liss S. Prince, receiving ail tho ballots, was declared electod. THE SQUATTERS. Mr. Goggin called attontion to the squatter shauty on tho old Dearboru School lot on Madi- £on street, and asked the passage of a resolution instracting the School Agent to take steps to eject tho squalters or to mae thom puy rent. lr. Richberg explained that Rand, MoNally & Co. had turned over the property on the cancel- lation of their for:aer lease, with these squatters on theland, and he thought it best to seo wheth- ertho latter wero not ocoupying the grounds under somo arrangemsnt with tho former les- sccs. Ho therofore presented a. resolution, which was adopred, iustructinz the Schools Agent to demand from Rand, McNally & Co. the full and unincumbered possession of tha laud. On motion of Mr. Richberg, the President ap- pointed a special committeo of three to sugcost pames for the two Dew grammar-schools ; Meassrs. Richberg, Calkine, and Hambloton wero appointed members of this Committes, and the Doard adjourned. THE LIVE-STOCK MARKETS. COICAGO.
