Keating la Llpplnoult'* Maga/ i.e. One mornimr. utter Ior:u: mart of laithlul but unreqnitv<l s?r?ice, Undo Noah, the slave, ripj red before his master on the >. :}, and, hat in hand, explained that, ^admonished by sever'.* tvti - oi thecinatism, ho feaicd In- would not long* be able to serve n* ho had lor so many years. The master, who really had respect ami regard lor his laithfill slave, heard u.-i?l? ci-mn.iil.-i -7 ? "" the story, of decaying strength and encroaching disease. ' Well, Uucle Noah," he re marked, "von have done voui ^ pari and lived your day You shall not he cast aside. 1 will give you charge of the voungei ^ negroes; you can oversee theii work. It you're disabled, you shall have a strong young tellow to support, or even carry, you wherever you want, to go." Uncle Noah, with profuse thanks, hobbled away, inwatdly jubilant, but outwardly lugubrious. to assume his new easf and dignity. In a suspiciously short time word came to the mas . ter that Uncle Noah was down witli rheumatism. A strapping young fellow named Juba wa* promptly detailed to attend him, The old man had been a great hunter of the coon and 'possum, and hi* kennel of hounds, as line h one a* wan to be found in all the Mississippi bottoms, missed their master sorely, but the hunting instinct often look them tc the woods to "tree"' a little on y their own acoount. And so it came about that one night, as th< old man lav upon his humble bed, with Juba asleep upon ji ^ pallet spread before ibe mud and sticK chimney, the deep and per emptory baying of the dogs told that they had treed something IJnole Noah listened in silence at long as lie could, and then called; "Juba! Juba! Git up! I'm gwine down to de buna's. Tak me dar, quick !" Juba. sleepy and rebellious, was torced to obey, and wit Ii I Tnr?lo Vn.l. , "a. < - *1- I w..UIU ii jinn liri l.'.'Ui. 'I' soon stood at (Ite rout ol a scml oak, at (lie end ot whose highest branch, lay something, sure enough, hot it Beeined too large for either a coon or a 'possum. By this time llncle Noah's blood was up. He commanded Juba to climb the tree and shako the animal out, so that (he duns . might dispatch it. tuba laid (lie old man upon the ground, more or less carelully, and up he went. The hounds stood expectant; # Uncle Noah sat no less so. As the yung fellow approached (lie animal it turned two otnnioup green eyes upon him and then began to climb downward. Juba could not lace Iho nearing dan ger; bo backed down the limb. The anima', now assuming gigan tic proportions in his inflamed imagination, came on all the faster. until. Irenzied with (right, Juba half sprang. halt' iell Irom the tree with a curdling yell that communicated his panic to the hound", and he and they, commingling their cries, tore through the woods at a break neck speed towards home.

VKKV FACE OF THE EARTH CHANOKI) Am! the Ktibsicca River is Even Now h Stream of Fire. Kingston,Island of St. Vincent. Saturday, Sept. <>?The sights in the Windward district of this island resulting from the eruption of 1 .hetjSoutriere volcano Sept. 3, are very inttiestiug. The liu bacca river even now is a stream of lire a quarter of a mile or more wide. Tiie greater part of the Rabacca is wrapped in vapor and there are mimic eruptions every where. The liver lied is continuously throwing up columns and dense clouds of st roam, mud a"<i pebbles. The land haH spread farther seaward and is changing considerably the appearance ol the district from what it was prior to Sept. 3. This was probably caused by the ?ject that llowed down the slopes filling the sea about the coast. Fifty laborers, deceived by the apparent quietude ol the valcano, where working within the tire zone on vv e<insda.V;at the extreme north of the inland. when they suddenly saw evidence of an approaching dial nrhance of the mountain, but were to leave the spot before electric Hashes and an outpour of pases drove them to their shelter, where they remained, at the base of the mountain throughout. the terrible night, while forked lightning darted in .nil directions around them. The men miraculously escaped unhurt and arrived at Kingston yesterday. The port officer of Chateau Bolair, who saw the Soufriere irom tne sea yesterday says that the mountain is considerably lower than before. He declares that the appearance of the summit has changed. A large proportion has evident ly been blown off and the hill has a much more jagged contour. The neighborhood is al tyred. New ridges, valleys and a strange ravine have been cut in the west side of the volcano, down to what was formerly the Carib settlement of Haraeai, where* liquid matter was* seen Mowing during the afternoon of Sept 3. The northwestern es tates, Petit Bordello and Sharps are covered with from 10 to '20 inches of gritty substance. The crops of arrow root and cocoa are ruined. Paring the night of Sept. 4 there was a terrific storm, ac coinpanied by blinding lightning and terrible peals of thunder and a moaning sound from the agitated crater. i O J!*. vqL XT -A. .
