In the course Of her voyxgen In the
China seas the Challenger visited an,
extraordinary volcano con the small
island of Camiguiny near'the coast of
Mindanao. A chain of high volcanic
peaks somewhat irregular in form,
culninates near the center Of the is
land in a mountain, the height of
which is given as 1888 feet and a lit.
tie way inland, just behind the volcano
there is another peak, 4, 400 feet high.
The active volcano FERNS an irregular
cone, 1850 feet in heights 1t rises up
from the sea with q slope at most
points Of upwards of SO degrees. The
general colsr of the cone is rich
chocolate brown, and the contrast be-
tween it and the splendid green of the
mountain, nearly Of the same form,
rising Immediately behind, lis very
striking. There is an irregular crater
near the top, and from this dense
masses of steam escape; more promi-
nently it appears at night and in the
morning, when the air is cOeier and
there is more rapid condensation, and
here and there pale blue smoke arises
from numerous clefts and fumeroles
on the fianks Of the mountain. At
night all the fissures round the crater
and near the top show out red from
incandescent matter within. The enc
consists mostly of a pale gray trachyte.
Much of the mass has been emitted In
the form of mud aud afterward con-
solidated, but there are likewise beds
of what appears to be true lava. .NOne
lava bed is very distinct near the edge
of the water, where there is a low sea

Last Thursday and Friday nights will
be long remembered 10 Bolivar. The
young ladies and gentlemen gave us two
theatrical treats. From the beginning
to the end the interest never tagged.
The acting was really excellent. We
have seen many stock company who's e
acting was much inferior to these ama-
tours, and when we consider the short
time they had in which to rehesrse and
prepare for their parts, their success is
a source of great qualification. Many
scenes were artistic in their rendering,
and many touches Of feeling beautifully
expressed brought tears 70 the eyes. We
hope the company will not break up, but
continue to give US seasons of pleasure
as pure the last.
The stage was we'll gotten up, and
owed it's beauty and fitness mainly to cur
talented townsman, DR.. J. II Larwill
The scenery and drop>curtain were the
works of his hand and he did the work
80 freely aud cheeriully that he has
buckled his old friends to him with new
hooks, and added many new ones to his
list. We understand that the result was
n success in a financial point of view.

How to Make Home Attractive.

The following Is report made by two
lady members of Bethlehem Grange to
that body, and reflects credit on their
heads and hearts and shows the inner
working of the Grange to perfection
This is a subject which is, or should
be, of great Importance to US all. To
make home attractive il an art, to
which fear, we attach too little impor-
lance. Our minds are engrossed with
other matters. ard we, too often, neglect
this noble art. This duty devoIves upon
every one who has no ne and family.
If we cou'd read the history Of all who
have gone astray from the paths of rect =
tude, we would find that lack of home
attractions had great deal to do with
their ruin Fathers aud mothers, if You
would have your children do vel in life,
give them proper training It home ;
teach them TO do 10 youth as you would
have them to do in manhood BE sure
that they do not assoc ate with bad
company. for this Is the beginning of
evil. Give them plenty Of wholesome
reading matter, and plenty of time to
resd IL Let them Erave harm a~s gamcs
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1875-05-07

to amuse them, and, above all, give
them plenty of parental affection. There
is nothing which a person remembers
with'so much pleasure as the love of an
| aFsctionate parents.
Another point which is indispensable
to an attractive home is, cleanliness. 1t
has been said that, "Cleanliness is next
to Goodness Then, if this be true,
how much is it our duty to appear clean
and neat in the family circle2 Wives
and mothers especially, should present
\ neat appearance at home, Every
ON shouli be pr operly attended
to each day. To do this, you must begin
early so as to get through in proper time,
and then you will not have to endure the
modification of a disordered room, if
company should happen to drop in.
Have everything scrupulousIy neat, and
your virtues will be duly appreciated by
every one.
Flowers lend an almost iuexpressible
attraction to a home. Have the yard
profusely adorned with them. Plant
Jessamine, Woodbine, and other flower
ing vines so they will Chamber up the
wall and hover under the caves. They
will conduce much to an attractive home.

1t is asserted as a fact that every cam
vasser who has turned his attention to
the introduction of the New Family
Sewing Machine in his locality, or who
has been fortunate enough to secure an
agency, has outstripped the best efforts
in making money of the old and tried
Agents of the high-priced machines,
which latter they now replace. The de-
mand is enormous, and sales so rapid
and money made so readily with so lit
tie effort that Farmers, Tradesmen,
Spectators, &c, are focking into the
business as fast as they can secure ter-
ritorY and get their goods on the ground
to supply anxious customers 1t is
marvellous how these machines sell when
exhibited, it being a recognized fact
that people will buy the best at the lows
est price. 1t certainly is the Machine
of the times and does the same work, as
other Machines at $4,000 or $4,000, and
we really believe it would sell just as
readily at double and then not cost half
the usual price of SO good an article,
for it is astonishing to see the vast
amonnt of labor it performs at 50 low a
cost. The inYentOrs are daily inunda>
ted with testi mOnials of the worth of
their new Machines which so suddenly
an successfully bounded into popular fa-
vor. 1t proves to be Just what is wanted
every day, by eYety one, everywhere,
who has family. 1t has attained au
enviable reputation in many thousands
of homes and factories, for its solid
strength, power, rapidity, simplicity,
certainty and ease of operation with ex~
treme beauty, fneness and reliability
Of its sewing; while the wonderful low
price (rwenty Dollars and for a Large
and complete Sewing Machine with a
strong table and treadle) places all idea
of competition entir ly out of the ques
ton. 1t stands alone in its merits and
price. We advise you to invest in one
at once for your Wife, Daughter Moths
er, Sister or Lady Friend and make a
home hapPp, or put them in your factory,
or what is better if you are lucky enough
secure an agency, if there is none in
your town, and make money for yourself.
