A MOUNTAIN TN LABOR.
The Living Volcano in North Carolina.
THE INHABITANTS FLEE.
An Eruption 1ionentarily Expected

SALISBURY, n. G.. March II, 1874
The vicinity of Bald Mountain, in the
county of Mcdowell, near Marion (the
county seat, has for several days past
been greatly agitated over mysterious
noises and rumblin gs in the bowels Of
that mountain. One report from a
scientific source states that these inter
nal noises resemble those heard in
Mount Etna preparatory to a vaicanlc
eruption.
RURAL CITIZENS TERRIFIED.
The people, in that section have be-
come SO much alarmed that families
residing Immediately around the base
of the rulnbiing mountain have taken
up their necessary domestic articles
and fled precipitateIy from the threat
ened impending eruption.
TREMBLING AND REyERBERATIOE OF THE
EARTH.
Throughout the entire country and
for distance of sixteen miles from
the mountain, extending into adjoining
counties, these sounds are not only
heard, but the trembling and reverbe-
ration Of the earth is perceptibly felt.
HASTI PLIGHT OF THE ENHABirANTS.
In numerous instances, for several
miles from the mountains, the glasses
have ratified in the windows and the
dishes have been shaken from the
shelves to such an extent as to create
the most widespread CONSERVATION
among the rural inhabitants. This has
again caused still greater stampede
OF the citizens, many of whom super
stitiously regard the terrible symp-
toms as an indication of Judgment
Day" A passenger on the western
train states that it is pitiful to see the
poor unsophisticated rustics flying in
such great terror, while at the same
time he believes that the cause of the
stampede is not without its true forn-
datiOn.
THE TERRIFIC SOUNDS INCREASING.
The latest accounts from the dis
turbed mountain state that, SO far, 10
volcanic eruption of lava OF fire has Oc
Cured, though the terrific noise and
internal rumblings, heard at a dis
lance, were SO great yesterday morn
ing as to induce the veritable belief
that a yeritable and genuine volcanic
outbreak had taken place.
The excitement throughout the en-
tire western section of the State is in
tense, and many people are repairing
to the scene in the hope of Witnessing,
for the first time, a grand volcanic
eruption.

RecollectiOns of Landseer.

The first time [ was ever in Sir Ed
wins studio was about twelve years
ago. when we drove there one Summer s
day with my father to see picture of
the Highland Flood" just then COM
pleted. We came away talking of the
picture, touched by the charm and
kindness of the master of the house,
laden with the violets from the garden,
which he had given us. Another time
the master was no longer there, but
his house still opened Hospitality with a
kind greeting for old days sake from
those who had belonged to him and
who had known my father. We were
let in at the side gate. There stood
the great white house that we remem-
bered /: we crossed the garden, where
the dead leaves were still heaped, and
some mist was hanging among the bare
branches of the trees, and so by an en-
trance lined with pictures into the
great studio once morej where all the
memories and pictures were crowding,
hanging to the walls, piled against the
easels. We seemed to be walking into
the shrine of long life, and one al
most felt ashamed, as if one were sur
prising It's secrets. All about the walls
and on the ceiling were time stains
spreading in dim vail; ne used to
say that he hated whitewash, and that
he would never allow any workman but
himself about the place. It seemed to

me at first as if the cloud of his later
days still hung about the room, where
he had suffered so many cruel hours !;
but, looking again, there were bis many
bright and sweet fancies meeting us on
every side, and the gloom suddenly
| dispelied. < 4
When he was almost at his worst
SO some one told me-they gave him
his easel and his canvas, and left him
alone in the studio, in the hope that
he might tslke up his work and forget
his suffering When they came back
they found that he had painted the
picture of little lamb lying beside a
lion. This and 1.-The Fout" were the
last pictures ever painted by that faith
full hand 1.-THE Font" is an allegory
of all creeds and all created things
corning together into the light of truth.
The Queen is the owner of ''The Font. %
She wrote to her old friend and ex-
pressed her admiration for it, and ask
ed to become the possessor. Her help
and sympathy frightened the sadness
of those last days for him. 1t was
we'll known that he appealed to her
once, when haunted by some painful
apprehensions, and that her wise and
iudioious kindness came to bis nurses.
She sent him back message bade
him not be afraid, and to trust TO those
who were doing their best for him, and
in whom she herself had every conf
dence. Sir Edwin once told Mr..
Browning that he had thought upon
the subject, and come to the conclusion
that the stag was the bravest of all
animals Other animals are born war;
riors, they fight in dogged and deter
mined sort of way! the stag is natur-
ally timid, trembling, vibrating with
every sound, flying from danger, from
the approach of other creatures. halt
ing to fight. When pursued, its first
impulse is to escape but when turned
to bay and flight is impossible, it fronts
its enemies nobly, closes it's eyes not
to see the horrible bloodshed, and with
its branching horns steadily tusses dog
after dog up one after another, until
overpowered at last by numbers it sinks
to its death. It seems to me, as [
think of it, not unlike a picture of his
own sad end. Nervous, sensitive,
high-mihded, working ON to the end,
he was brought to bay and at last over
powered by that terrible mental fout
and misery. He wished to die in his
studio--his dear studio for which he
used to long when he was away, and
where he lay 50 long expecting the end,
but it was in his own room that be
slept away. His brother was with
him. His old friend came into the
room. He knew him, and pressed his
hand, 4 i x < x
As time goes on the men are born, one
by one, who seem to bring us the an

place and revealing in his turn accord

their names not forgotten, will be that
