A Chat About Volcanoes. Volcanoes, or burning mountains, as they are sometimes called, are elevatious on the surface of the earth, which act as chimneys for the great fires deep under? ground. There are nearly three hun? dred at present which are hot and smok? ing mountains. The great crater, or opening, is generally near the summit. As volcanoes are not always active, the crater sometimes becomes dead, and is filled with great masses of cold black lava. Mountaius have been known to lemain in this quiet state for centuries, when suddenly noises like thunder are heard, and the crater begins to throw up boiling lava and hot ashes and smoke. A volcano in eruption is one of the grandest sights in nature. Vast quanti? ties of heated matter are thrown hun ' dreds of ;'eet in the air, great bombs ex? plode with terrific noise, and at night the sky appears like a sheet of flame. The volcanoes of North America are all situated near the Pacific coast. There are none of them very active at present. Mount Saint Elias, wbicb stands on the boundary of Alaska and British America * is a volcanic peak nearly 19,000 feet above the level of the sea. It is the high? est point in the Northern half of the Western continent. Popocatepetl, which is the next high? est, is less than 18,000 feet. It is the largest volcano in Mexico, and although it is crowned with snow all the year, its crater is still very hot, and all the snow which falls inside of the great hole melts as soon as it touches the warm field of black la7a. The last great eruption of Popocatepetl was two hundred and sev? enteen years ago, but as late as 1827 it would now and then throw up dirt and small stones. Now nothing rises from the cracks and crevices of the crater but little spirals of hot vapor, which smell like a burning sulphur match. The whole crater of Popocatepetl is filled be? neath the surface with beautiful yellow sulphur. Deep boles have been dug there, like wells, and Indians go down to gather the sulphur, n hich is carried down the mountain and sold. The air is so hot under-ground in the crater that the Indians can not stay long, and they wear ;? big wooden shoes to keep their feet from becoming blistered. The peak of Orizaba is another famous volcano of Mexico, almost as high as Popocatepetl. It haa not been active for more than three hundred years. Now it is very cold, and the great valley of its crater is filled with ice and snow. The highest volcano in the world is Sahama, in Bolivia, which rises 23,000 feet above the-sea; but the largest crater is that of Mauna Loa, one of the great volcanoes of Hawaii, in the Sandwich Islands. Manna Loa, has two craters, one near the summit, about 13,000 feet high, and the large one, which is called anea, about 9,000 feet lower down the mountain slope. The great lower crater is nearly eight miles around, and about eight hundred feet deep. The sides are steep and rocky, but there is a zigzag path by which people go down to see the great lake of liquid fire at the bottom. The wind on the mountain is very cool and sometimes it hardens the surface of the lake so that it appears like, a great plain of black earth, just as the cold air in winter forms a coating of ice on the rivers and ponds. But the fire is under? neath the black crust, just as the water is ander the ice, and it is constantly breaking out into little fiery lakes, which, as the heat increases, overflow the whole bottom of the crater and form a great boiling mass. Mauna Loa is full of strange rumbling noises like thunder. Several times great fissures have suddenly opened in the mountain-side, from which fountains of fiery lava have sprung several hundred feet high, and, in falling, formed rivers of fire which poured down into the sea.. These streams of hot lava which burst from volcanoes sometimes come so sud? denly that whole villages near the moun? tain are swept away in an instant, before the inhabitants can escape. Great clouds of hot ashes are often thrown from the crater, which cover the plain around the mountain many feet deep, burying all the cities and towns, together with tbeir inhabitants. In 1835 the volcano of Cosequina in Nicaragua threw out such < -vast quantities of ashes and powdered stone That the air was filled with them for hundreds of miles away. The surface of the ocean was so thickly covered that ships sailed with difficulty, and in the island of Jamaica, eight hundred miles from Cosequina, ashes fell on the fields. The people who lived near the mountain ran wildly in all directions in search "of a place of safety, and it is said they were joined in their flight by hundreds of monkeys, and by tigers and other wild beasts, whose savage nature was com? pletely subdued by fright. The largest volcano in Europe is Mount iEtna, which stands in the Island of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. It is neurly 11*000 feet high, it has always been a very active volcano. A little more than two hundred years ago a stream of boiling lava poured d .?wn from its cra? ter, and completely destroyed fourteen large towns. Mount Vesuvius, which stands on the shore of the Bay. of Naples, is also one of the most active volcanoes of modem times. It has a very curious history. At the time of the birth of Christ the whole mountain, which is only about four thou? sand feet high, wa3 covered with forests. The people called it the "Burnt Moun? tain," because they knew from the old crater that it had been a volcauo at some time, although it had never been known to smoke, and even the crater was a green valley full of tiees. Abont sixty-three years after the birth of Christ the cities near Vesuvius were startled by an earthquake, and sixteen years later the whole Southern half of the mountain burst with a terrible explosion, and a vast cloud of hot ashes sprang forth, which covered the country to a great depth for miles around. It was at this time that the beautiful cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were de? stroyed. They were buried in the vol? canic ashes so suddenly that very few of the inhabitants escaped. Even the high? est houses were covered, and nothing could be seen but a great bare plain of volcanic matter. Centuries passed away, and the buried cities were forgotten, un? til in 1748 some workmen who were dig? ging a well discovered remains of ancient buildings. Now a large part of these old cities has been dug out, and many won? derful relics of their former inhabitants have been discovered. Since that time Vesuvius has often thrown out lava and ashes and flame. At ore period it was dead and still for five hundred years; then it began once more to thunder and tremble, and nojiv smoke and flame are often seen rising from the crater. Many of the island-; in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans contain lofty volca? noes. On the island of Nippon in Japan is a famous volcauo called Fusiyama. It is 14,000 feet high, and has often thrown out quantities of lava. The Jap? anese look upon it as a sacred moun? tain, and their native artists are fond of darwing its picture. On Japanese fans and boxes and screens the rude outline of ft mountain is often seen combined with other designs.?Harper's Young People. ? The election of John G.

This is a very cold world, and most people need sympathy. It was this fel? low-feeling that was shown in the rocky defile between Jerusalem and Jerico in Scripture time. There lay a man who bad been set on by bandits, and in strug? gling to keep bis property he bad been pounded and stabbed, and left for dead. A priest came by, and looked on him, and said within himself: "Why, there's a man fiat on his back; guess he must have got hurt. I wonder what is the matter with him. But I must hurry up to the temple to look after the sacrifices. Go aloDg, you beast, and carry me up to my temple duties." A Levite came close up to the unfortunate, and looked at him and said: "There is a gash on his fore? head?what a pity! There is a stab un? der his arm?what a pity 1 Dear me 1 his clothes are torn off of him?what a pity! But I must be going for I lead the choir in the temple service. Go along, you beast, and carry me to my duties." A Samaritan, who by reason of an old national grudge, might have been ex? pected to reject this robbed Jew, comes up. He says: "How terribly this man is h. rt. I see by his features he is a Jew, but what of that, he is a man. Whoa !M he shouts to the beast on which he rides. He gets off, goes down on one knee and listens to the heart of the wounded man to find whethe'r he has any life left in him, and concludes he may? be resussitated. The kind Samaritau takes out of his sack a bottle of oil and a bottle of wine. With the wine he clari? fies and washes out the wounds and prob? ably pours into his mouth some of the stimulant, and then with the oil soothes the wounds. Probably tearing a piece of his own garment, ho bandages the wounds. Now the man sits up, pale and weak, but thankful. The Samaritan says: "You get on the saddle and I will walk." With much gentleness and great care the Samaritan helps him on the beast and walks beside him. As they slowly moved on toward the tavern, ever and anon the wounded man, hold? ing on and balaucing himself with all his might, says to his benefactor, "You are very kiud to let me rido while you walk." Arrived at the tavern, the Samaritan, with the aid of tine landlord, gets the wounded man dismounted and puts him to bed. The Samaritan stays all night, and the next morning, having gone in to see how the poor wounded fellow 'b setting rn, g>es up t > the bird lord : "Here is monev to pay that man's board, and if his convalescence is slower than I anticipate, charge all the expeuces to me. Good-morning all! Go along, you beast," says the Samaritan, "but a little slowly, for that band of robbers sweeping through this country may have left some other man wounded and half dead." Sympathy! Christian Sympa? thy! How many men like that would it take to warm up the cold world. Famine in Zarephath; everything dried up. A widow with one child and no food in the house but a handful if meal. She is gathering sticks to make a fire to cook that handful, and then wrap ing her child in her arms, die of starva? tion. Here comes Elijah. Bis two black servants, the ravens, have 3topped waiting on him, and be is starving and asks this woman for food. The handful was to be divided among two, for herself and her son. Now she resolves to di? vide it among three. Come in, Elijah, to the solemn table and take your third of this last morsel. How many women like that would it take to warm up the cold world? On a rail train at-the Southwest, re? cently, an engineer on a locomotive saw a train coming with which he must col? lide. Resolved to stand at his post and try to slow up the train, he cried out to the fireman : "Jump; one man i3 enough on this engine." The fireman jumped. The crash came. The engineer met death at his post. How many men like that engineer would it take to warm up this cold world ? It was this power of" sympathy that Mrs. Fry carried i'ito the insufferable horrors of Newgate Pri-on, until im? precation and error and filth gave place to cleanliness and repentance and prayer, and a reformed life. It was this that led the Si ters of Charity in 1863, on North? ern and Southern battlefields, with med? icine and cordials and bandages for the boys in blue and the boys in gray, who were bleeding to death. The black bon? net, with the edges pinned back, and the white band on the forehead, may not have met the demand of artistic elegance, but you-could not persuade the dying soldier, a thousand miles from home, that it was anything but an angel that looked him in the face.?Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine.

A Texas man was recently convic - ed of two offences in Galveston, fur one of which he was condemned to fif y years' imprisonment and for the other to be hanged. The bitter sentence the Court has ordered to be carried out on the 25*u of April, but the prisoner ob? jects, contending that, the first sentence has priority, and he must serve out the fifty years before he can bo hung. ?

Save as a chro? nological expedient, it is a ghastly and a hollow fraud. There is a silly old tradi? tion to the effect that leap year has some social and sentimental significance ; that ladies put away the modes defensive and assume the aggressive role of the sterner sex ; that in this year the disappointed, the unsought and the neglected have their opportunity. For centuries this monstrous fiction hits been kept alive by writers of all degrees. For centuries the wits have cracked their jokes, and the grannies have mumbled their jaded tales. For centuries credulous girls have be? lieved that special privileges would ac? crue to them every fourth year, and blighted spinsters have looked anxiously, though in vain, for some one to set the fashion. Timid bachelors and experi? enced widowers have quadrienially shud? dered and quaked in an apprehension of a danger which they had feared all their lives, but had so far escaped. Intrepid youths, calm in the conviction of beiug able to protect themselves, have wilfully gone iuto the way of peril. But despite all this blushing and trembling and swaggering and sighing,'nothing has ever come of leap year. Jt remains to-day what it has been as far back as history reaches, the must absurd and inexcusa ble humbug in the list. The only feminine advantage taken of the leap year p/ivilege has been taken by persona who are quite as willing to repeat the performance in any other year. No? thing is changed. The relations between the sexes are not so much as stirred into a ripple. The world moves and society floats down its tranquil stream just as if no such institution as leap year had ever been mentioned. From time to time one hears a little weak-minded talk concern? ing some projected leap year manifesta? tion, such a3 a German or a soiree, where, it is expected, the ladies will make the overtures, ask for dances and, generally, to act a part for which they are utterly unfit by nature, by custom and by edu? cation. Hut these feeble efforts to gal? vanize?not a corpse, for it never was alive, but to galvanize a chimera?these efforts, we say, invariably dwindle away, just as a mistaken smile fades upon the face of the suddenly enlightened. They peter out. They are blown away with the small outburst of simulalcd gayety which prompted them. They are, in fact, as idle and insincere as the tradi? tion i'-self is fraudulent. No well regulated person has any be? lief in or respect for the sentimental as? pect of leap year. No girl who is pretty and attractive feels disposed to reverse the natural order of things and to seek instead of being sought. No giri who is pretty and attractive, and at the same time judicious, is going to abdicate her privileges and outrage her inclinations merely in order to accommodate girls who are not pretty and attractive. And as for men, does any sane human being suppose that they would countenance in? novation ? Does any one suppose that a desirable and ornamental society back would venture to an entertainment if he knew that he might at any moment be borne down upon by any sere and yellow damsel who chose to mark him for her prey ??Ncio Orleans 77??iea Democrat. Kentucky Whiskey Did It. Two of the handsomest and brightest young men that have grown up in the capital city of Kentucky since the war were Thomas Crittenden, grand son of the great and good John J. Crittenden, and James Arnold, son of Rev. Isaac Arnold. With physiques lithe and sinewy as the thorough-bred horse of that blue grass region, with the heritage of hon? ored names and wealth that was lavished upon their schooling, these two young men and bosom friends might ? have climbed to any position of honor among a people who love to bestow honors upon robust men of courage and culture. But Tom Crittenden and Jim Arnold early took to drink, in a town that boasts the manufacture of the finest whiskey in the world, and introduced the breezy affluence of frontier dash into the proper society of a staid old village. In a word, they painted the town a.? sunsec-red, and finally made it too hot to hold them. Arnold drifted West and became the prince of the cowboys. Crit? tenden went to Louisville and took lead? ership among his bar room broilers. Arnold, while driving cattle on one of the Western trails, in company with a degenerate son of Lord Raggett, was shot and killed by a negro. Crittenden killed a negro for testifying against him at a misdemeanor trial before a country magistrate, and has just been sentenced to confinement in the Kentucky Peni? tentiary for eight years. Both leave behind them honorable fathers and lov in? but heart-broken mothers. Arnold left a tenderer tie thau that of father or mother and a not less tenacious. Whis? key wrecked all these lives.?

It was one of the peculiarities of the old-fashioned Doctors th.it they never would tell patients what they were prescribing for them. They said it would do the patients no good to know, and that it would only be grati? fying a foolish curiosity. In order to keep patients from knowing-, they would write the prescriptions in dog-Latin, so that most patients could not read them. All that sort ofthing is now over. Thepaticnt wants to k now what he takes. He is weak, and wants to be strong, or he is dyspeptic, and wants to digest well. Or he has a troublesome liver which he v. ants to put to rights. So he takes Brown's Iron Bitters about which there is no mystery at all. This is the best preparation of iron in the world, in com? bination with gentle yet efficient tonics. It gives strength.

The following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 1882 I was attacked with a very had cough, which continued lo grow worse until lull, when I got so weak tliat I could not set about. 1 tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told mo lo try Brewers LiingKc slorcr. They sent to Ward's Store and got a ix>llle and I commenced taking it right aw ay. After tak? ing ti\i> ur throe doses, I began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle 1 was able to get on my fret again. 1 am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are ofjlie same opinion. It is the best Lung Kcmcdy ever mad..- in my opin? ion. Dr. if. promised me that he would write to the manfacturera and tell them of the wonderful eure ii made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early in November, 1881, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough.- Fever com? menced, she ton Iii neither cat: or sleep, and in a few weeks .^!ie was reduced to a living skeleton. The attending physician told me that lie thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her stom* ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call I?r. Holloway in consultation. They i?.adc a tinal examination of the patient and pronounced the ease hopeless. Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewers Lung Itcstorcr as" a last lesort. I seni for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it on her stomach, and alter about the third dose, 1 began to notice sumo improvement in her condition I continue*] the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk ahm' the house. She is now in Letter health r*4?i she has enjoyed for several yi.iis. ! believeThc Lung Restorer saved her life. W'e have .. family of six children,, some of tin id grown."
