All that can be said with certainty is that the water is still rising. The increase in the volume of the water is, perhaps, not so small as is supposed, for it should be re membered that, as the deeper portion of the basin Is tilled, the water has to spread over a much greater area of level land. There are four possible solutions of the problem. The water either comes from the Colorado rver or 'from the gulf, from the surface or by a subterranean channel. At first it was believed by most of the well-informed people around here that it came from the river,' whence the previous overflows have come several times during the past thirty years, but the steadily increasing volume of the water in the face of the fall in the river has caused a change of opinion, and now, notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, it is generally believed that the Hood must have its source in the gulf high tides, which might easily break' down the slender barrier of sand which stands between it and its old bed. Should this the ory be correct, it is evident that we are on tbe eve of witnessing one of the most interesting geographical changes which has taken place on this continent. The increase in the area of the gulf would itself be small in importance, compared with the great modification in the climate which this inland sea would cause. Not the least remarkable feature of this phenomenal occurrence is the great difficulty of obtaining authentic information. The water is too shallow to navigate and too deep to wade or drive through, while the frightful heat makes it an act of great danger to venture away from the water and shade. The following dispatch was received last night from G. V Durbrow, superintendent of the salt works at Salton: The Indian I sent out from Volcano Spring has returned. His statement settles the question of the water coming from the New-river country. The water is coming into the sink at Salton through a creek. I made a diagram of his trip as be told me. His store was compared with the maps and I found him truthiul in every particular. The courne of the water can be traced by land from Fig springs. The water empties into Salton sink twenty-live miles south of Salton. The water is rising slowly, but moving to tbe west fast." A dispatch from the railroad agent says the water has raised one and a half inch in the past twenty-four hours, and ia much fresher. SECRET OF SCHOLARSHIP. Twenty Years Spent in the Study of the Life of Spiders. Atlanta Constitution. It is not an un boa rd-ofl thing for a German professor to devote half a lifetime to the study of a Greek particle. I have personal knowledge of a scientist who spent twenty years in studying the natural history of the spider. This may be considered as pushing the division of labor to the danger line, and yet the system has striking advantages. The specialist is narrow in his scope, but he is exact in his methods and exhaustive in his investigations. The secret of German scholarship is found in this direction. But, returning to the spider, we recall the story of Robert Bruce, the Scottish Washington. He was at one time dispirited almost to the point of despair by his military reverses. As be lay secreted in a barn bo became interested in tho work of a spider who made successive failures in an eliort to altach his thread to a certain part of a rafter. Six times he failed, but, undnuuted by defeat, he made the seventh etiort, and success rewarded bis perseverance. The spider's example wan an inspiration to Bruce. He marshaled his clans for another etiort, and on the memorable field of Baunockburn he bumbled "proud Edward's" lofty crest and won liberty for Scotland. An incident not unlike this recorded in the life of Mohammed. The prophet being watched and hunted like a felon by his idolatrous countrymen, hid himself in a desert cave, where tbe angel Grabriel assisted him in - writing tbe Koran, and where his bodily wants wero miraculously supplied. On several occasions a band of his enemies passed the cave, but did not enter to search for him. because an unbroken spider-web was woven across the entrance, indicating that there was no one within. Whether this be fact or fiction it is only one out of innumerable instances in which trivial events have changed the currents of history. The casting of a horse-shoe has lost a battle, perhaps a campaign; why might not the web of a spider save Islamism from overthrow in Its infancy, as did the moonlight journey from Mecca to Medina! It is well, lest we despise the day of small things, to remember that units make millions, and that little happenings are often important factors in the rise and fall of empires. A II OUT GOLD DOLLARS. They Are Very Scarce Uncuae They Are No Longer Coined. Philadelphia CalL The act of Congress abolishing the coinage of gold dollars was approved Sept. 26, IS'jO. The reason urged for its passage was the inconveuience of handling the coin because of their small size, the danger of loss for the saino reason, and the fact that silver dollars and paper currency would answer every purpose for small transactions. Congress saw the force of all this and promptly passed the bill. In anticipation of such action and to prevent, as far as possible, speculation in the; coin none were struck otl' last year at the Philadelphia mint, and all paid into the treasury were coined iuto larger denominations. With the abolition of the gold dollar three-dollar gold piece and nickel three-cent piece also passed iuto obscurity, their coinage becoming illegal by the passage of the same act. During the forty years that the gold dollar was m circulation, from 1M'. to lNrW, lu,4&,337 were issued, of which 18.'Jia.4; were coined at tbe mint in this city. The New Orleans mint, which was engaged in their coinage only from 1849 to 18V, a period of six years, issued l.(04,(i0a The facilities of this mint are now devoted almost exclusively to silver dollars. Tl: San Francisco mint coined but IK).'J&!, beginning in the year 1854 and continuing at spasmodic in tervals until 1870, when they ceased eutirel v. The Dahlonega, Ga., and Charlotte, N. 0., mints, both of which huspended operations in IMil, at the beginuing of the war. coiLed respectively 87J,59 and glUi,lS worth of these minute coins. . From these tigures it will be seen that the great majority of the gold dollars were coined In this city, the amount during the fiscal year 183 being upward of jpJ.GOO. Desjtite the etiort a of the government to prevent speculation in tho coin and to gather all of them in, many are held by operators aud dealers in rare coin and com inand a premium. Those of earlier date are much more valnable. however, as shown at a recent sale of coins, when a gold dollar of the date of 1V4 sold for cTJ.75. This date is very rare and the coin was exceptionally perfect. On the same occasion one of the year lb&lwas purchased for $12, and another of lb7a was regarded as cheap at SlUGu,

In an old French household in New York the most carefully-chcrifetied betilouiu is n slipper which was worn by Marie Antoinette iu the last days before the Trench revolution. It was one of the precious relics in the basgaire of a court lauy who lied with her husband to Louisiana when the storm broke. he left the tiny, blue, faded slipper to her daughter, with tho injunction that it iihouid go down in the family, to the eldest daughter,- if bhe- never allow ed herself to have corns. It is a pretty slipper, and has been carefully kept iu tho jewel-case of one FreLch woman alter another, to that it is perfectly preserved. It is abort, very narrow nud very high-heeled, and is a brocaded blue, lined with toft white silk. The sole is of a coarse-grained leather, and there are three 6 a tin straps over the instep, fastened with a paste buckle. The pointed toe is embroidered with silver threads, and the edges are bound with silver braid. The condition regarding its inheritance has always been strictly regarded. The women of the house have taken great care of their leet that they might rightfully claim the unhappy Queen's clipper, and for one hundred years there has not been a pinching shoe worn in that lawily. A relic of this sort would be a boon in a good many households, if it bad tho effect of inducing the daughter to abandon the tight boots, which injure not only their feet, but their gait aud carriage. 8tj on the Farm. New En ft!and Magazine. Many a young man to-day, who on the fafm or in the country village would be a leader his fatnilv well-to-do, hinmelf intelligent and popular, goes to tho city without a trade, expecting to better himself, but really only to swell the rank and iile of thosH who are cron ding one auothcr for a scanty livelihood. When he marries andsettlesdown.he will be found in a noisy street, next door to O'Callahan on tho right, and Lavinsky on the left, where his children, in spite of him. must grow up amid most undesirable associations. This instead of his owning the farm, bringing up his children amid happy surrouudiugs, and being perhaps a selectman of tho town, or deacon of the church withal a persou of no little consideration. If now New Kngland country life is to recuperate, this hurtful illusion must cense. Any intelligent and industnous man can get a living upon your farms, either as owner or tenant, or Ltborer, and unless be is a skilled workman he tan i:et a better living there than elsewhere.
