2 LETTERS FBO3H THE PEOPLE. Tlie CniwMily of Michigan. An>‘ AnllOß, Mich.. NOV. 15. :i a, Editor of The Chicago Tribune Fcrnearlytwo months the university, has en- -yed the privilege or which for two years It was .-ptlvcd, namely: that of having a President. id.one who can be regarded as fully capable In i-'.-ery respect to administer Its affairs. President egcll, thus far, has more than satisfied the most ingulne enactions of the friends of thonnlvor v ty; and whatever fears or doubts there maj avu been—lf there wore any—in the minds of line, when ho was called to the Presidency of tils Institution, have been entirely removed, idle the degree of estimation In which no is at .-resent heldU truly surprising. no Bcems to we brought newUfoto the university, which self wasfar from being dead, and, by ms ®°kv %.y and energy. In promoting the intonate of the rudents and the university in general, bo lias in-! iscd new vigor into every department Tho .-tandanl for miulrcmcnts for admlMlom *.id of scholarship after admission, la fast us possible under the now t* id the university catalogue, ’which will bo pub* before the holidays, or Immediately "ter. will contain the additional requirement* •-filch have been made to the various courses of, Mud v In the uni vend ty duri ug tho past year. The .-ewlian, though delayed two week* hr tho fire i Chicago, is rapidly progressing, and It la In tended, if possible, to have it completed by next ommenoemont. Tho only feature about tho tin ;erbity which does not meet 'with universal ap- roval is the method recently adopted of dividing *uo lower classes into divisions according to scholarship. It is claimed by those who oppose this arrangement that tt necessarily wads to tho marking system, and that system, at well known, was abolished here years ago. TUe prize system, and everything which gave *-iso to a distinction among the students, went vat of vogue at the time when the university an jounced to tho people of tho country its deu*.rml nation to be no longer restricted by the fetters -vliich had bound many other educational institu tions in the land. It Is feared that this new move ment will result in a return to tho principle* which the university now claims to havoahol ,41uhL The great majority of the students are vpt>o.sed to tho *‘uo\v departure,” as it is termed. opposition springs from no other source than rcbmwie .pr.iu’lples upon which the university -•jis bc-n several years, and which, it is ‘•ut natural to suppose, have been engrafted upon :ha minds of the students. University Day, which sur rived two celebra tions, has been abolished. Tho object for cele- this day was that all the departments of >hc university might havo u certain lime, once a 5 •-*ear, when they should assemble together as u .vhole, and feel tho bonds of hrolheny, and, we may add, sisterly love, drawing them mure close y together. TLo influences of this day were not mo aaluiary as it had been hoped they might be. At the second celebration, tho procession, while marching, was thrown into confusion, and finally vroken up, by a charge of the Literary Battalion -.pan the banner belonging to tho Law Depart ment. _ The opening lecture before tho Students Lec ture Association was delivered by Presi dent Angell, upon tho subject, '‘The Doers and tho Thinkers. ;t is useless to comment npon tho character of ho lecture. To say that all were pleased and m ntrueted. would nor express one-half of what the ■.ecturo merited. Carl Schurz delivered the sec ond lecture before the association, on the even tag of >*ovetnber 4. His subject was “Civil Ser ■dee Reform;” and tho method, together with the sincerity with which ho told what b« know about *iow things go "iutldc politics.” elicitedthe’Btriet rst attention on the part of tho audience, and nrouscl every one to a vivid conception of things -vhich had not been dreamed of before. It would doubtless be beneficial to the national interests 10 "have Mr. achurz* deliver his opinions on this -aiblcct throughout the country, as he is a man -shorn all can believe. The students of tno university contributed very for the benefit of sufferers by fire, both .u tuts state and in Chicago. Oulto a number were called homo after tha fire in Chicago, and -•ouie have been unable to return because of lossts sustained. La*t Sunday was observed hero as the day of 10 -grayer for Christian Associations. Besides tin? .usual Sabbath morning prayer-meeting, in tho ■iall of tho Young Men’s Christian Association of the university, there was held a university prayer i meeting in the afternoon, la the Law lecture room. The attendance was largo, mostly slu dents. The pastors of various churaVes m the /Ity were present, and assisted in tho exercises of ihe day. In the oven ng, President Angell deliv ered an address before tho association. The shurch, tuouch very large, was completely filled, ‘The music wits furnished by tho university choir. if any one who has ever charged the University “-‘vf Michigan with being an infidel institution, or yyen an institution where there is no influence •save for evil, h,»d been hero on last Sabbath, that jerson could not have done otherwise than rc qlTlt. Thus far the number of studeutsis i,lC2,—an in crease of 50 from last year. Of the 63 ladies now -n attendance, 35 ore studying medicine, 3 law, and <5 pursue studies In the Literary’ Department. It is evident, from tho fact that scarcely a fourth ourt of the ladies iu the Literary Department -aursue regular courses of study, that they do not desire to take the same studies which young men prefer,it ad might, therefore, be better aocommo dated in other educational institutions than In 1 Uie University of Michigan. W. T. U. Artesian Walls*' State Geologist's Office, Speikqfibld, lIL, Nov. U. •ro the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Sir: In your yesterday’s issue I find a letter 7rom your agricultural correspondent, “Rural,” .n which tho author calls the attention of the tiUtc Geologist to the Importance of giving hia most earnest attention to the subject of artesian wells, and the phenomena attending their occur rence. He aUo intimates—U I rightly under stand him—that the source of supply for the Chi cago wells, and others in this State, is in a sand stone lying at the base of the Niagara group; and eaves his readers to infer that artesian wells may no expected whenever that horizon Is reached •with tho drill. -II “Rural” had perused the geological reports carefully, he would have "juxul that this subject has nut -noen entirely overlooked or neglected; ;tnd. furthermore, he would havclearncdihat tho •origin of water In the Chlca t TO wells, as well as *ll other* yet bored in ths northern portion of tho rotate, with tile single exception of that opposite she city of Peoria, is iu the sandstones below the Trenton lime' and from four to jiee hun .{red feel below the base of the Niagara group. a. section of thiA well at the Stock Yards—the deepest one in the vicinity of Chicago—may be •omul in the report on the geology of Cook •County,—Geological Survey, Volume 3, page 214. This section shows that tho water comes from the base of the lower magnesian limestone of f)wcu, (the calciforoua sandstone of the New Vorkreports), or from the underlying Potsdam 'andstouc. On page 2SG of the name volume, may bo found 1 a report on the Ottawa wells, showing that they hJso were carried down to aboutthosamehorieon, -md were commenced at the top of the St. Peter's Mudstone, which is itself more than COO feet bo- •‘ow Uio Niagara group. The well sunk by Messrs. Vona «t Co., opposite Peoria, is also noticed in tbe fourth volume of the report, page IW>. where the section is given as nearly complete as it could be obtained, and the *pinion expressed that the water is obtained from 'he Niagara limestone; and this is tho only well in the State, of which wc have any knowledge, •hat affords a supply of water from this formation. ;t should be borne in mind, however, that this -.veil Is located at the foot.of tho bluffs, and near I -im high-water level of tho river; and it is ox- i ■jcmeiy doubtful whether a well sunk to the same ♦•traturn from tho summit-level of the adjacent t ountry would be productive. Tuc subject of artesian wells is also discussed *n the report on the geology of Kankakee «jnd -Iroquois Counties. pages 236 and 339 :j£ thu same volume, and an explanation given of Jic probable source of the shallow artesian wells •f Iroquois County, lu Volume 1, pugu 6, we ~tated that the most northerly axis of disturb- -nco in this State croaks tho State Un* inStc nhensim County, and intersects Kook River at -Jrand dc Tour, and the lilluols at Split Rock, be tween LaSalle and Utica.—bringing tho St. Peters onndstouc to tbe surface on Rock River, and the .ower magncaian limestones on the Illinois. The trend, oruuection of this axis is about south 33 iCgrees east, which would enrry the line of dls* mrlwnce very near the southwt at corner of Iro ■niois County, if continued on in the same dlrec Mon. Brad.e.v, who made the detailed »-tii in these counties, found that the -vater-beariug stratum in Iroquois County .consisted of a pure white sand. :he St. Peter's sandstone disintegrates at Its out -,rop; and the legitimate iulvvence is, that the -jindstoue was originally elevated to the surface this vicinitv by the extension of this axis, and, »i ;iv its disintegration, has formed the water-bear '■“‘tugstratum, which, being here overlaid by the ■juik-tvloo* clays of the drift, holds the water un -J\ tbe overlying beds arc pierced by tho drill, when It llows out at tho surface, forming the lowing wells so common in this country. The lallurc to obtain a how of water in the deep ->oring ht Chatsworth shows that tho conditions uro not uniform, oven over tho northern portion -f thedtato; and lean give no reason for this •allure, unless to suggest that this point is too near the lino of disturbance, and the water sinks -iwnvfmm the axis towards tho synclinal, or entre of the basin. mure is u i more difficult problem presented to Mm structural geologist tiiun tbe Ucation of arte-1 wells; as an evidence of which I will cite the I .-aso of the two wells at or near fit. Louis. At Xielcher’s well a constant how of water was ob 'niued. though the well was carried down only to h depth of 2.VJC feet. While, at the Insane Asylum, i-,uly about three miles distant, a well sunk over ri.ooo feet fulled to reach flowing water, and yet .w)th commenced on the same, or nearly tho same, ecological level. Trusting I have said enough to vindicate tho Geological Survey from tho charge of entirely .•.rerlookingso Jni| orfaut a matter as the location ol artesian water lu our own SUto, X remair, veiy •cspectfully, yours, A.
