The two volcanoes, Etna and Vesuviu

The two volcanoes, Etna and Vesuvius,
(. have nearly always seemed entirely indie
pendent of each other, but the recent erup-
tions indicate that unity of action has
been established between them. The cool

an eruption of tho other. On the night of
the 26th of November, the last current of
molten fluid descended from Vesuvius, and
on the 9th dazzling crest appeared on the

The evils of false pride are fast gaining
sway in this day and generation. II u
time It was laid aside. 1t has engendered
mischief, It has exerted its upas-like in
Auenoe long enough. We sympathiss
with that honest, noble, lofty sentiment
which slsvates persons as far above . lov,
mean action, as the heavens are above the
earth; but we detest false pride In all it,
workings. It's poison V widely difased,
and the only anti1ote Ia to rise up against
II with strong and earnest purpose.
What selfish, ignoble sentiment Is
false pride. It laughs at the young man
who has sufficient Independence to wear
an old suit until he can afford to have .
better one; who dares to Garry bundle
In broad day light, II need be, and is not
too digniAed to work. Especially does 1t
scof at him, If contrary to the modern
rules Of etiquette, he honors his parents and
prefers the tranquility of his home in the
evening, to the boisterous mirth of the
dram shop or the exciting scenes Of a
gambling hell. False pride leads many q
young man along the down road, silenc-
ing the convictions Of reason and the
solemn, earnest whispers Of conscience.
False pride impels proud woman TO
deny herself the actual comforts Of life to
make display in the street to pinch the
resources Of the kitchen, in order to keep
up appearances in the. parlor.
1t drives the bankrupt TO forgery, and
perhaps murder, that he may avoid stain
Ing his white hands in earning his daily
bread.
Go into tho slms-house and the prison
cell. What proportion Of their inmates
could trace their woes to false pride II
Ia only vanity and foolishness to give II
indulgence. Wherever it exists it should
be cxterminatcd, root and branch. Dc
not fear 10 do right in the face Of the
world, and never DO too proud 10 gain
your living by honest toll.

This humorous poem was recently spoken a
.chool exhibition:
Hoi every one hear what say,
We III have had Thanksgiving day;
Around the hearthstone Of our homes,
We've heard the cry, they come, they comic.
Our fathers and our mothers dear,
When they were young AZ We are here
Around the festive board they met
With those, whose sun has long since set.
Years have long since rolled away,
That gave 10 as Thanksgiving day;
The day by Yankees highly pr1zedl
The day Of turkeys and rich pies.
Methinks, hear the piercing cry
Ofchickens, that were doomed TO dc;
They little thought when they eat corn,
That thus TO feed us they were born.
The turkeys too, alas their fate,
They oft have gobbled at our gnte,
And with proud airs have felt secure,
From murderous axe, and kitchen skczer.
But when the Governors proclamatios
Had found it's way to every mansion,
The fowls in solemn council met,
The plot by some means to prevent.
The meeting, il was called in haste,
Aware that time might run 10 waste,
Ere they could some safe means adopt,
To save their lives, and stuff their crors
Convened, the Turkey he with grace indeed
Called on the Goose TO take the lead,
While Duck and Drake called on the crowt.
To ratfy the choice aloud
One chsnticleer with night good Will
Tuned up his pipes full loud and shril
While each 20 each, agreed al once
Their chairman was not born a Ounce
The Goose thus chosen took the chair
And bid the meeting quick prepare,
10 adopt such measures as would tend
To save them from an untimely end.
The Turkey rose with solemn ali,
White all aronpd him gave quick ear.
His words Of counsel 10 receive,
And hi- advice 70 strictly heed.

The French Atlantic Cable.

The French telegraph cable across the Allan
tic is in successful operation. The laying Of
ocean cables Of almost any length has now be-
come an easy matter. comparatively. Modern
science and practice in the work enables men to
overcome all obstacles, to penetrate the greatest
depths Of ocean, to conquer the turbulent waves
of the Atlantic and to defy the raging storm.
The graphic description published of the pro-
gress Of laying the French cable, from the CON-
meneement till landed ON American soil Of the
detection Of faults in the cable through constant
communication and by the most delicate instru-
ments Of the buOying, cutting and splicing Of
il in mid ocean, while the great ship that bore
IL rested ON the heaying Atlantic, and Of the
beautiful management OF the whole work, reads
like romance. The most important results
must follow this enterprise. 1t will increase and
quicken communication between the two CONT
nents, stimulate commerce, bring the nations Of
both into closer and more friendly contact, and
ought to cheaper very much the telegraphic
rate of charges. But there is room for more,
and the more there are and the cheaper the rate
Of charges, the greater will be the business. We
have now the English and French cables, but
VIC want an American cable-one to be laid by
American capital and enterprise. What do our
capitalists sayi Who will undertake the work
1t is estimated in q Boston contemporary that
there will I've a third cable laid within few
months, projected by American enterprise and
worked by American capital. We hope this is
50. Rivalry is the life aud soul Of business, and
as we. said, there would be profitable work
enough for another Atlantic cable. or for more
than another ono.

Mr.. EDITOR Perhaps but few are acqaint-
Ell with the irrespective mining operations in the
Osspee Valley, not more than forty miles from
this city. The quarry is situated in the town Of
Madison some FIVE miles from the outlet OF the
0ssipec pond. II Is quite extensive, being on
the side Of hill extending for quite distance,
with rayine running at the base, 10 that tun-
neling, with but little additional labor, into the
heart OF the mine, Is practicable. Already a
SHAFT has been sunk some forty feet, and from
the top TO the bottom Of the shaft there is no
diminution Of the ore, and but very little waste
rock. About dozen men are now at work, but
labor under disadvantages, having to hoist by
windlass the rock containing the ore. to the
crushing house built over the pit. Much labor
would be saved were tunnel opened from the
base, and the rock taken out on n track laid for
that purpose. They have now an engine Of
ten horse power 10 run the crushing mill. which
should be 100 horse power, at least. After
crushing, the ore is taken to the building erect
ell for washing. situated at the outlet Of pond
having fall enough for running machinery for
pumping water sufficient for the operation. The
ore is then put in casks and taken to New York
for smelling. The rock contains about 20 per
cent Of lead, zinc and silver, and on the average
65 ounces Of pure silver to the ton. With all
the disadvantages Of working now on small
scale, Mr.. Butler, the superintendent, who is in
every respect a gentleman, told me few days
since, while visiting the mine, that 1t paid over
and above all expenses fifty cents per ton. lie
is now working about twenty tons per day; and
the same crew could easily work double that
amount II they had an engine more powerful
for crushing. The expense Of freighting is n
drawback on the operation; and should the os-
sipee Valley or Great Falls and Conway Rail-
road be put through, then this must be q mat
ter Of considerable consequence. -,
There arc rich deposits of iron ore in the bed
Of the Great 0ssipee pond, where number Of
years ago il was worked to some small extent,
at the outlet Of the pond, called Iron Works
Falls, in bingham, now known as Efhngham
Falls. Here Is an excellent water power, which
now is but partially improved; but which will,
at no far distant day, when n railroad shall be
opened, become an important place. The ex-
tensiye plains, Of some $50 square miles,
abound in harl-pine timber, which is COM
paratiyely worthless, as II is too heavy to
float, but which would become source OF
wealth IL there were facilities for taking its
product to market. Here, also, are large for
ests Of wood, Of but little or no value now,
which would be made valuable by railroad
facilities.
Should the inhabitants in this section. in
stead Of 8 per cent on their property valuation,
give half Of what their property is worth, to
open a railroad il would be good investment.
This territory is now. for the most part, des-
olate and dreary, yet capital and enterprise
would soon develop vast treasures.

William d. Allison, member of Congress,
is one Of the candidates for United States Scna-
tor from Iowa, to succeed James W. Grimes.
The Cleveland Herald says Democracy in
Ohio il not the same thing exactly with Dcmoo-
racy in Pennsylvania, and Democratic stump
orators coming into either State to aid in the
canvass must be careful to see on which side Of
the line they are when they open their mouths. +"
The result Of Mr.. DoutweIl's administration
Of the Treasury Department appears in the
proposition from German house in Frankfort
to loan our government $500, 900 at Eve
per cent. which the Secretary has Of course been
obliged to decline. His view is that we may,
within year, borrow all the money We want at
four per cent. or certainly at four and q half
per cent, and the present indications seem to
be, though il is not intended TO speak in his
name, that he will next winter advise such
loan for the purpose Of paying OF the hvc-twen-
tics due now. or whenever the government
chooses to 80 consider them. A private letter,
not to the Secretary, from well-advised source
in England, expresses the opinion that bond
at four AMI quarter per cent. can easily be ne
gotiatcd in Europe within six or eight months.
Governor Hahn Of Louisiana gives a most
cheering account Of Affairs in his section. The
sugar. cotton, and corn crops are all heavy, and
cotton is believed to be safe from the worm.
The animOsi,ies engcndercd by the war and sub
sequent political contests in Louisiana are dying
out, and the social quiet which prevailed before
the war is rapidly returning. SO far as he
could learn in passing through Mississippi the
Dent movement there has few republican sup
pOrters. lie anticipates great business activity
throughout the South the coming autumn if the
crops turn out as now expected.

The Situation.


Unlike gold and the money market, our
approaching election promises to be
''easy." The Democratic party which
holds its voters as machines, can endure a
bad nomination with much better results
TO itself than can its antagonists.
Their candidate is n venerable man who
has come down to us from former genera
tons. and is chiefly known because he has
done nothing within the last seven hun
dred years to distinguish himself. 1t will
be rs impossible to create an interest
in his election rs to revive any one of Kill
patrick's Peruvian mummies. However,
that is their business and not ours, and a
funereal business il Is. But we can't help
congratulating the party on their antedi-
luvian researches. " -r.
They do not intend to make more than
show of fight the coming fall, and they
thought that Gen" Smith might rs well
do their ground and LOFTY tuinbling Ms any
other man, and we think so, too. A few
of this party had captured our bold and
indomitablc Joshua, or been captured by
him-which is nearly the same thing-and
desired to nominate him us their candi-
date; but while the little game did not
carry. portion of them will vote for him,
perhaps rs many rs willvote for Hichboril
who are republicans. This is our conso.
lation, this our hope! although we COMES,
il is something like the MarchioneSs' wine
made from orange peel and water. If you
make believe very much, it's quite nice
but If you don't, you know, it seems rs i
il would bear little more seasoning. GER
tainly.
In another column will be found the
letter of acceptance from Mr.. Hichborn
1t is u straightforward, manly letter. anC
all save the last sentence is we'll written
The vote for Mr.. Hichborn viii depcnt
much upon the manner in which the thirt
party campaign is managed. If the "thirt
party" show 10y their acts that they do no
intend to injure so much the republican
party, rs to do it good by furnishing some
of the bummers and irresponsible trasl
hanging on its verge, it may perhaps have
aid more or less from those who would u:
soon vote for Mr. Hichborn MS Mr.. Cham
berlain. But if it shall this year attempt
to hold the republican party responsible
for the unfortunate action of any nine OF
nine hundred and nine men of more
rhyme than rhythm, by making county
nominations, II will decrease Mr.. HIGH
born's possible vote TO mere handful, and
go into bankruptcy.
Mr.. Chamberlain will undoubtedly be
elected by the people. We estimate his
vote at $4,000. Mr.. Smith cannot posi-
bly,, under the present circumstances, get
upwards Of $4,000, while Mr.. Hichborn's
vote will bo somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 10000. Should this estimate
prove comparatively correct a republican
increase of the latter's vote, Of 25O0, will
throw the election into the Legislature.
