And first, last Monday, the act of tho Legisla ture of Ohio, constituting Delaware took cireetand made it n city. That samo ovening, the CounciI,cousisting of Jlessrs. Albright, Starr, Drown, Slough, and the Itev. W. T. Watson, met and set the machinery in run ning order, under high pressure.

Tho city, according ,to tho charter, contains something over 7,000 squls, and by means of Its puhlL Improve ments, is rapidly onlarging In nil di roctloiis. Its literary institutions (tho Ohio VcMeyan Universities) contain sulistantlnlly thesoul of Motlr odism. Dolnwnro U to tho " itine rant brother in cloth," what Mecca js to the Mohammedan, they must cither reside In it, or visit it, annually. And here let me say, passing, that last week Dlshop W. L. Harris paid thecity n Hying visit prior to starting on his Asiatic lour. Delaware) contains tho finest Court House in Ohio, hut tho sovereign people know tpilto well how that came about. Tho city contains three banks, three printing olllce, twenty dry goods establishments, twelve provision stores, and any number of low groggorles. Recent railroad changes has rendered Delaware the most important point on the roatl or roads that center in that place, and its rouud-liouso and machine hhops are second to uono in Ohio. Dela ware, properly speaking, Is tho term ius of three railroads, and tho mis understanding betwixt the C. C & C. H. 11., and tho Little Miami II. 11., has through the instrumentality of tho so called short lino turned the tide of business all in that direction and left Columbus on tho side track. Eighteen trains daily arrive at, and depart from Delaware, ami the pay master has hero his heaviest lob. Six hundred and fifteen hands in tho employ of tho railroads, hail with Joy tho arrival of Sturgess, whilst others have reasons for blessing two largo fountlertes, and two extensive (lax mllN, whto dally business furnishes them with remunerative toll, lint tho city grows wicked as well its good, and Its Instrumentalities for vlco ure (tuite cnual to those for rood.

The waters of its famous sul)hursprlngs,soelllcarious In heal ing ine nations, are more eiiectlve when taken behind night's sablo cur tain, than lu the brand glare of noon day, and careful estimates make it apparent that enough time Ismhiiiu- dercd lu Its four croquet parks to iuku proper euro oi nil ine crops raised in tho county. Of courso Delaware Is a literary city, "the light of tho world, set on a hill," with more politicians than was included In tho Oral it Mohillvr Investigation, whilst nearly every man you chance to meet upon tho tho street, wants to sell you a musical instrument, or teach you music. Or If It bo Saturday, get an opportunity to ritlo out Into the country and preach on Sunday. Some of tho more Minguino In Delaware, who have properly to sell, think that Delaware Is that important point lu prophecy, where tho evangelization of this mundane sphere is to start from, and It (Irxw rortiilnlv Innb- uiniotlilmr flint way, for oves half tho graduates of Her universities are not limners, nor mechanics, but preachers.

Til k experiment recently mudo In Ohio of pluclng women at the head of all tho schools below tho high bchools, is pronounced a decided suc cess. The Instruction und discipline havo been as good as formerly, there have boon fewer dlllicultles between teachers and pupils, und fewer com plaints have been made by parents against teachers. The woolen mills at Brownsville, tho Ronton Democrat learns, ,. are novr"Uonin(jvtyxelverlantls, nnd manufacturing nit 'excellent quality of cloth. "Merino Shcop. Col. Win. W. Holllstor. tho great stock breeder of the Pacific slope, Is a native of Ohio. Twenty years ago he left the Jltiekoyo State, driving before him it Hock of S00 Miocp. As he proposed to drive the tloek over land to California, his enterprise was regarded as impracticable. Hut he was atotit oi Heart, ami met Willi success, lie arrived in Southern California with half the sheep ho started with, but these 100 were carefully nursed, nnd they enabled hint to set up In business as a wool grower. Tho sheep Increased ra li ly, and Col. Holllstor managed them so well that ho is now it millionaire. Ills grazing farms number 100,000 acres of land, and the wool-growing animals can bo counted by the thou sands. Tho experience of such tin eminent Htoek-grower must bo valu able. Col. Hollister was recently In terviewed by a correspondent of tho Cincinnati VummerciuL anil In tvnlv to tho question what ho couitlere!l the 'most profitable breed of shoon to grow on the Pacific coast, he said: " Whllo I consider all things prof itable for our State, Hie merino und dlfiorcnt grade. of merino seem best adilptcd to tho largo business; first, because the merino Is more gregari ous and herds better In bauds and, second, because the merino, fitrulr-li-lug to the world, us ltdoes, the great staple for the clothing wools, fills a largo place in tliu economy of liv ing. If this class of wool were great ly diminished, we should soon Hud out how small it space Is occupied by tho combing or long wools of tho world. I havo no way of finding out, to anything like u certainty, what Is tho prop rlion of strictly clothing wool to the combing, but think it is as seven to three, and perhaps oven eiijht to two. Of course, you know that we have not enough of either. There Is no danger of over-production in any kind of wool, nor doubt of continued profit lu sheep husband ry for all time." Col. Hollister estimates the annual average Increase of merino sheep, under fair conditions, at one hun dred percent.; but, on u large scale, ho regards tho business good when the Increase Is only eighty per cent. When tho business is small enough to allow the proprietor to give It per sonal superintendence, the profits very naturally are greater than when it grows so largo as to be In trusted to subalterns. Ladles In the (iraiigCR. One of the most interesting features of the granges, Is that not it single one can bo organized without the companionship of ladies. No charter will bo issued to organize a grange, even if a hundred of the best farmers want It, and ask for it, unless a cer tain number of ladles Join. Their assistance and inllueiice are needed. Their companionship will have u re fining and elevating efi'ect upon the sterner sex. They are equally Inter ested with their husbands, brothers anil sous in tho good lh.it can bo ac complished. What aids lu giving relief to tho fanner, will give relief lo ins wile and daughters. They give tone and elevation to the proceedings of the granges. They furnishii social feature to the granges which will give permanency and stability to them. Kach grange meeting there will be a social festi val, it neighborhood visit, u green snot in tliu Sahara of the farmer's life. Ily all means let every grunge encourage the attendance of ladies. IjCt thler bo as many lady members, as male members. It will increase the interest lu them and help to ele vate our noble profession to that high standard wo desire to reach. With woman's Influence with us wo shall have no such word as full. Her iiilluoncc is for good, and we are glad to know she will exext It In behalf of those who are nearest and dearest to her. Culmuu'ii Jlurul World. Wll.l. Till! Sltr.KI' liUHINIXH HP. Ovkhdonf.'.' A correspondent nsks if we "think there is danger of the sheep Interest being overdone?" The question Is not fairly put. If he asks us to Indicate homo line of busi ness which will never meet adversi ty, we can tell him very quickly that wo know of ho Mich business. Eve rything must have Its ups and downs, Its alternating sunshine and showers, and the sheep business is no excc tlon. Hut we do not know of an In dustry which rests upon n more legi timate aud wife basis. To start with, the production of wool Is not equal to tho wants of the country; and tho growth of our imputation is such that it requires each year tho product of 4,000,000 more sheep than it did the year before. Sationtil J.ive-A'toet: Journal. " The Origin of Mountain. Professor James D. Dana contrib utes to the "American Journal of Science and Arts" a very learned treatise on some results of the earth's contraction from cooling, including a discussion of the origin of moun tains and tho nature of the earth's Interior. In speaking of tho kinds, and structure of mountains, ho draws a hitherto neglected distinction be tween: 1. A simple or individual, mountain range or mass, which U the result of one process of making, like an Individual lu any processor evolution, mid which may be distin guished as a inonogenetle range, be ing ono in genesis; and 'J, A com posite or polygonetlc range or chain made up of two or more monogu uotlo ranges combined. Appalachi an chain the mountain region itlong tho Atlantic border of North Amor lea is u polygonotic. chain, aud con sists of several other ranges, princi pal among which are the J recti Mountains, tho Atleghantcs,and the Highland, Including thu Blue Uidgo aud Adlropdiieks. Of these, tho first wuh comploted essentially after thu lower slltirlau era, t lie second imme diately after the carboniferous era, aud tho thin) are prc-sllurlun in for mation. Mountain-making is shown to bo vcy slow work. After the begin ning of tho primordial, the first pe riod of disturbance of North Amer ica of special note was that tit tho close of the lower siluriati, when tho firooit Mountains were finished. This Interval bet ween tho beginning of the primordial and the motamor plilsm of tliu above range was tit least 10,000,000 years. Tho next eM)ch of great disturbance In tho same Appalachian region was that at tho close of tho carboniferous era, In which the Allcglmulcs wore fold ed up: and, altogether, It Is stated that the Appalachians were at least ;iT,000,000 years lu making. Tho dis placements of the Connecticut river sandstone and thu accompanying Ig neous ejections, which occurreu be fore thocreUtceoiisera, took place for some 7,000,000 years after tho Appa lachian revolution. Thus it Is dem onstrated that tho lateral pressure resulting from tho earth's contrac tion required an exceedingly long oni lu order to accunmlato torco suf ficient to produce it general yielding aud plication or d!placcmcul of tho beds, and to start oil' a now range of prominent elevations over the earth's crust. Setentijle American. Change In lihrr I.YiIi. lu a report on the su'Jtvt of water" supply for the village of Youkers, Nl Y., published In tho January num ber of tho American Chemi.it, Prof. J. 8. Newberry furuMiossonio Inter esting facts on thu geology of tho river U-ds, that will be of general In terest. Ho says: "It Is probably known to you that most of the drain ing streams of all tho region butweoii tho Mississippi ami (lie Atlantic any now running far above their ancient beds. This fact was first revealed to me by thu borings mudo for oil in thu valleys of tho tributaries of tho Ohio. All Iheso streams were found to bo (lowing In valleys once deeply exca vated but now partly filled, and In some Instances, almost obliterated. Further Investigation showed that tho samo was trim of tho draining streams of New York and tho Atlan tic slope. Tor example, tho valley of the Mohawk, for u largo part of Km course is filled with sand and gravel, to the depth of 'J00 feet, lu tho Hud son water surface stands now proba bly f)00 feet uIm)VA Its ancient lovel tho old mouth of tho Hudson und tho channel which loads to it being dis tinctly traceable on the bottom nearly eighty miles south and east of Now York. The excavation of thesodeep channels could only have bevu effec ted when the continent was much higher than now. Subsequently it was depressed so far that tho ocean waters stood on tho Atlantic coast from 100 lo MM) feet higher than they now do.. During tills period of sub mergence tho blue clays In the val lovof thu Hudson tho 'Chamnlalu clays'-rworo deposited, and thoval leys of ull tho streams were more or less filled." Thk Danbiiry iYrir fellow says; "Tho majority of women euro very little about suffraco. If tho backs to car beats could only bo hollowed out so art to admit of their hustles' hip ping over, the Ixillot might go to thunder for all they care."
