DESTRUCTION IMPOSSlliLE.
In the consideration of the ques
tion of whether we are creatines of
the brief period of physical exist
ence that takes place beneath our
human vision, or whether mind is
equal or superior to matter, it is
not amiss to take into view the
facts of this physical world of ours.
Popular Science says that in chem
ical operations, whether natural or
artificial, matter is often "lost to
night;" hut the veriest tyro has
learned, as one of the fundamental
axioms of science, that it can
never be actually lost or destroyed.
In its manifold mutations it often
disappears from our vision ; but it
reappears, or can be made to re
appear, as palatable to our sense
as before. If a piece of silver be
put into nitric acid, a clear and
) coiorless liquid, it is rapidly dis-
solved, and we "'see it no more."
The solution may be mixed with
water, and apparently no effect is
produced. Thus, in a pail of vai er
we may issolve liity dollars' worth
of silver, not a particle of which
can be seen. Not even the chemist,
unless he should apply certain
tests to detect its presence, would,
by merely looking at the liquid,
guess what hidden wealth it con
tained. Other metals, as we know,
can be treated in similar ways with
the same result. When charcoal
and many other substances are
burned, they disappear as com- j
pletely, no visible asneseven oeing
loft from the combustion. In fact,
every material which is visible can,
by certain treatment, be rendered
invisible. Matter which in one
state or condition is perfectly
opaque, and will not permit a ray
of light to pass through it, Avid in
another iorin become perfectly
transparent. The cause of this
wonderon fnanim in muttpr is :
Utterly inexplicable. Philosophers j
may say that it is due to some al-
teration in the position or arrange
ment of atoms or molecules; but
4itoms and molecules, however con
fident, we may be concerning their
existence and the laws that govern
their mutual attractions and re
pulsions, are absolutely beyond
i'jP.. "f our senses. We may
se the substances they form, we
may guess at changes they under
go; but -'e can not see them, or
do anything more than guess what
they really are. We do know,
however, that matter is indestruct-
evidence that it can be destroyed.
The substances dissolved in water
or burned in the air are not anni
hilated or lost; by certain well
known means they can be recovered
and restored to sight ; some in ex-
f actly the same state as before their j
invisibility, others in some other j
" . . . I
state or condition in which we none j
the less surely recognize 'him
On the brightest and sunniest day
millions of tons of black charcoal
in an invisible condition are float
ing in the air. Millions of plants
are at the same time restoring it to
visible form by the chemical
processes going on in the tiny
laboratory of every leaf that ex
pands in the sunshine. In the
coarse of time the leaf, or the wood
it elaborates by its delicate al
chemy, may be burned ; and this
cycle of change may go on indeh-
nitelv, the matter becoming visi
ble and invisible again and again.
;;)oes not these fact3 of the physical
world carry strong argument with r
it tor the indestructibility of mind,
for is not mind paramount to
matter?
A singular incident attending
the re-nomination of President
Cleveland, is that the most enthu
siastic expressions of approval
-ome from the tory journals of
England, whose only object and
interest is to fatten upon the down
fall of American institutions.
They even sjo so far as to suggest

curing their rights, i- again urouglit
to light by the action of a syndi
cate in California, w ho through an
unjust ruling of Acting Commis
sioner Jrtockslager, are attempting
to get hold of :ff)0,0C0 acres by
ayment ef m- acre.
li
comes on a ruling in relation to i
the selection of the 1(3 and :-Jii - j
iiOHS Oi hind liv f. .v s;t:;t niidur'
the school land act, in cases where -there
were no 16 and ik sections in
the township. The Chronicle j
says: "This being so, a person j
who had purchased from the st.ite !
100 acres of land which had been
listed to the state in lieu of part oi
one of those uuder-water stc-iiuis,
was decideil by Acting Commis
sioner tocksiager to be entitled to
perfect her possibly defective title,
under the Booth act of 13H7, by
paying to the United States $1 .25
an acre for her land. This in itself
was right enough, b it the decision
readied mucn lurther than was at!
first apparent. Having held that
the party in question could pur
chase direct from the United States
nncer the act of 1S77, the 'iext and
naturally resulting step was the
cancellation of the selection bv the I
commissioner that is, the United !
States took back the land from the j
state and sold it to that party.
the state having thus been di
vested of one-half its hit indem
nity land "election for the township
in question, would be entitled t"
make a new selection of 160 acres
to make good the apparent loss;
and, taking quick advantssre of
this ruling of Stockslager, a land
bureau in this city, which, bv
some means, has a strong intii:-
ence with the land office, has laid
its wires to get h(dd of at lea.-tj
50.000 acres of srovprnmpnt IstuI i

without any homestead or pre
emption trouble or delay. This
bureau induces settlers siiuatid.!
like the one in question to ai'ply i
for leave to purchase under the '
Booth act, then obtains the can-j
