THE present Administration has sent
two hundred and seventy millions OF
gold to Europe to buy bonds due in 1881
and 1882. These bonds are at premi-
um because they are not due, for when
they mature they will only be worth
their face value, and greenbacks, now
quoted at 50 cents, will be worth their
face in gold.

Mud Volcano.

While returning by a new route to our
camp, dull, laundering sounds, which
General Washburn likened to frequent
discharges of a distant mortar, broke
upon our ears. We followed their direc-
ton, and found them to proceed from a
mud volcano, which occupied the slope
of a small hill, uncovered in a grove of
pines. Dense volumes of steam shot
into the air with each report, through a
crater thirty feet in diameter. The
reports, though irregular, occurred as
often as every five seconds, and could
be distinctly heard half a mile. Each
alternate report shook the ground a dis
lance of two hundred yards or more,
and the massive jets of vapor which
accompanied them burst forth like the
smoke of burning gunpowder. 1t was
impossible to stand on the edge of that
side of the crater opposite the wind,
and one of our party, MI. Hedges, was
rewarded for his temerity in venturing
too near the rim, by being thrown by
the force of the volume of steam VIC
lently down the outer side of the crater.
From hasty views, afforded by occasional
gusts of wind, we could see at a depth
of sixty feet the regurgitating contents.

IS The Devil In his Eye.,,

In a pleasant town on the Boston and
Maine railroad (says the Boston Trav-
eUer) the pastor of the leading church
is universally esteemed for gentle map-
ners, his even temper and his affection
ate words speaking of a most amiable
disposition and giving evidence of a life
at peace with man and God. In an adj
joining town is a preacher of the same
denomination, who is suspected of here
sy, and is regarded by some of the good
people of his flock as a minister not ex
actly from above. Recently a member
of the hereto clergyman died, and an
aged female friend, whose infirm years
keep her away from church, with some
doubts of the propriety of listening to
the suspected preacher, decided to at
tend the funeral. The service passed
off quietly, and at their close a, friend
inquired how she liked the minister.
What he said was well enough was
the response, but I saw the devil in
his eyel" So confident is she of this
that no one has yentured to tell hel
that the popular minister of the neigh.
boring town had at the eleventh houl
been called to oficiate. But he has

Brain Weight.

An eminent German Professor once
assumed that, as q certain size and mass
of brain is essential for the exercise of
the mental faculties, therefore, all the
human rae must be furnished with an
equal amount of brains. b truly
Teutonic theory has since, however,
been effectually dissipated. An elaborate
paper was read, not very long, before
the Royal Society in which the existing
evidence as to the weight of brain among
different nations was analysed. The ave-
rage brain-weight for the English is sta
ted to be 47.50 ounces; for the French,
44.59; for the Germans, 1888 but there
are discrepancies in the results of differ
emit observers, some giving a greater
average than this to the Germans. The
Italians, Lapps, Sweds, Frisans and
Dutch come into the same category
with the English. Among the Asiatic
races, the Vedahs of Ceylon and the
Hindoos give a mean of over 42.l1 oun-
ces. The skulls of Mussulmans afford
a slightly increased average of brain
weight over those of the Hindoos. The
skulls of male Khonds-one of the un-
questioned aboriginal races of India
show a brain-weight of only 37.87
ounces. The general average of the
Asiatic table shows a .diminution of
more than two ounces when compared
with the Europeans. The general mean
of African races, is less than that of
European races, although there are
| great differences the Cafre rising high.
and the Bushman sinking low, in the
scale. The average of the whole of the
aboriginal American races reaches 44.73
ounces, which is 2.14 ounces less than
that of the European races. The Aus
tralian races, show a .brain-weight one
ninth less than that of the general ave
rage of Europeans. The Malays and
others of the Oceanic races, who migra-
ted boldly, for commercial purposes,
| over the North and South Pacific Ocean,
and occupy the islands, show a tolerable
high average of brain-weight; and, on
arriving at this section, we return in
some measure to the large brain-weight
of Europeans.-Once a Week. .

The Great Canon of the Yellowstone.

The Great Falls are at the head of one
of the most remarkable canons in the
world@a gorge through volcanic rocks
fifty miles long, and varying from one
thousand to nearly five thousand feet in
depth. In its descent through this
wonderful chasm the river falls almost
three thousand feet AT one point,
where the passage has been worn
through a mountain range, our hunters
assured us it was more than a vertical
mile in depth, and the river, broken
into rapids and cascades, appeared no
wider thar a ribbon. The brain reels
as we gaze into this profound and sol
emn solitude. We shrink from the
dizzy verge appalled,, glad to feel the
solid earth under our feet, and venture
no more, except with forms extended,
and faces barely protruding over the
edge of the precipice. The stiffness is
horrible. Down, down, down, we see
river attenuated to a thread, tossing its
miniature waves, and dashing, with
puny strength, the massive walls which
imprison it. All access to its margin is
denied, and the gray rocks hold it in
| dismal shadow. Even the voice of its
waters in their convulsive agony cannot
be heard. Uncheered by plant or
shrub, INSTRUCTED with massive bould-
ers and by jutting points, it rushes
madly on its solitary course, deeper and
deeper into the bowels of the rocky
armament. The solemn grandeur of
the scene surpasses description. 1t must
be seen to be felt. The sense of danger
with which it impresses you is harrow
ing in the extreme. YOU feeF the alb
sence of sound, the oppression of abso-
lutte silence. IF you could only hear
that gurgling river, if you could only
see a living tree in the depth beneath
you, if a bird would fly past, if the wind
would move any object in the awful
chasm, to break fora moment the sol;
enn silence hat reigns there, it would
relieve that tension of the nerves which
the scene has excited, and you would
rise from your PROSTATE condition and
thank God that he had permitted you
to gaze, unframed, upon this majestic
display of natural architecture. AS it
is, sympathizing in spirit with the deep
gloom of the scene, you crawl from the
dreadful verge, scared lest the firm
rock give way beneath and precipitate
you into the horrid gulf.-Scribner for
