From the New York Star.

Professor Sillman has been giving pc.
puiar and very interesting course of Lee
lures on Geology, at Boston. His compe-
tency to that task no one can question (,
but il is not every one who possesses, as
he does, sufficient taste and literary quail
iiications TO make scientific subject fas
cinating TO popular auditory. Speaking
Of volcanoes, the Professor stated some
striking facts;
He spoke Of the earthquake at Carac-
cas-, and on the recent eruption IN the
bay Of Honduras--of The mountains OF
Quito, and the whole chain Of the Andes
which are capped with porphyry, trap and
basalt, and supposed that there was no
doubt that the whole range, from Terra
del Fuego, or Lind Of Fire. was contin,
ued range OF volcanoes. He then alluded
to the islands in the Pacific, all Of which
are volcanic, The bed Of that east ocean pro-
bably resting ON arches Of fire; the voica-
noes being merely the cl,imneys. or the
place Of exit, for the fire and smoke in
the interior of the earth. The number oil
volcanoes said to be in actual existence IL
upwards Of three hundred! In Mexico

seventy miles in extent, rose by VOLCANIC

A GOOD STORY.

A Scotch major, who had been so sue
cessful as to fight several duels, with repea-
ted success, and who, on account Of his ex-
IRENE desire for quarreling, when little
intoxicated, and for his boasted courage,
was deserted and despised by bis brother
officers, came one evening into large
company. There happened 10 be present
a Yankee, an officer in the same regiment
which was stationed at Montreal. This
Yankee related, among other things, the
failure Of certain expedition, in which
he had the misfortune TO be wounded -
That was because you were rascaliy set
Of towards, observed the supercillious ma :
ior. You are liar replied the yankee -
The company stared. The Scoicchman
looked down upon him with as much con.
tempt as Goliah did upon David, and i'm
mediateay asked, are you man TO meet
me !? Yes, replied the yankee, at any
time and place you please, only win tnis
provision, that we fight without seconds.
/ Well, then, tomorrow evening at hve
o'clock Agreed. The company present
endeavored to dissuade the yankee, tell.
ing him the major had every advantage
where he had none, and that he had bet
compromise matters, or he would have
cause to repent his rashncss, but he stil
persisted. The next morning he repaired

The dog Of .Merireather Le,cis.--Among
other inscriptions in the collections Of Al.
ecn, is one taken from The collar Of dog
belonging to .Meriweather Lewis, the ira
weller across the Rocky Mountains, and
subsequently Governor of Lorisiana. 1t
is as follows:
"'rhe greatest traveller of my species.
Nv name is Seaman, the dog Of Captain
Meriweather Lewis, whom accompanied
to the Pacific Ocean through the interior
of the continent Of North America"
But this not the only honorable testimo-
ny to the character Of the dog Seaman.
The concluding history of his life is most
interesting. His fidelity and attachment
were so maikable, that after the melan.
cho!y suicide of his enterprising master,
in 1909, he would not depart for mo-
ment from his lifeless remains, and when
they were deposited in the earth, no gen.
tie means could draw him from the spot
of interment. lie refused every kind os
