Sulphur Hunters.

The Troy Times prints q letter from
citizen Of that place, at present So
journing in the Island of Dominica,
West Indies, from which the following
is an extract:
It Is barely a month since DR., Free
land, in search Of sulphur in behalf Of
an English company, accompanied by
DIR. Nichols, of this island, with few
servants, started on tour of explora-
ton. At distance from town, on an
air line, of some eight. Or ten miles
only, yet In the necessarily circuitous
route to reach it requiring some days
of severe labor, struggling with preci-
pices and deepest vegetable entangle-
ments, they found an old volcano. Its
height above the sea is about 2,400
feet. They, descended about 400 feet
down the crater to the lake-unheard
Of before, but which is to rank among
the wonders of the world. It is liter
ally lake Of boiling water, about
half mile long and two miles in cir
cumference. In the center the boiling,
foaming water juts upward into sort
of dome, several feet higher than the
surface, and where the ripping waves
break upon the shore, the
hand cannot be immersed without
pain, so high 10 the temperature. My
informant Is DR.. Nichols, who has
made two excursions to this lake, who
is well known here and bears q most
respectable character. He says the
water is charged with sulphur and
magnesia. issa5 so' ~ .sl M @fF

The AIleghanians Second Night.

IL was an.evation of music and
mirth which the Alleghanians fur
nisheti their audience at Tutn-Verein
Hall last night. In view of the
crowded condition of the hall on Mon
day evening when many of the audi
ence were compelled to remain stand
ing, the seating capacity had been
largely increased and then fell short
of the demand From orchestra
chairs to gallery, every available seat
was occupied, and the entire house
was charmed as by a mystic spell.
And the charm was this the
entertainment was not warped
by the conventionalities of lat
ter-day opera; the singing was nat
ural; the music was melody. Some
of the most charming strains stored
away in our memory of times past were
brought forth by the silver bells-the
grave, the gay, the light qickstep and
the solemn air were rendered with q
delicacy and pathos which reached to
the very soul. The airs played by Mr..
F. l.. Benjamin on the gamut of
drinking goblets while he carried his
own accompaniment on the melodeon
were 8 not 9aless charming and
added the element of wonder at what
his dextrous fingers could accomplish
with such rude appliances. The vocal
music was varied with ballads, comic
and sentimental in turn, and all of the
words (be it said to the credit of the
singers, rendered in good Kings Eng
lish. Marie Packard sang Millard's
beautiful composition, Waiting"
with great accuracy and force. This
lady has a remarkably sweet, sympa-
thetic and powerful soprano voice. We
hope we may hear her in other brill
liant selections during the week. Mr..
Sam Collins, the funny man of the
troupe, acquitted himself finely and
brought the ludicrous In such sharp
contrast with thepathetic that he never
failed to make, a hit. The strength of
the company was concentrated In the
sextette silver band. which made the
welkin ring and took the sympathies
of the hearers by storm. The COM
papy will appear again at Turn-Ve-
rein Hall tonight. No lover of mu-
sic should fail to hear them. !. .ssis

Spelling.

The following cleverIy arranged mar
rative is taken from the Boston Aduer-
tiser of April 1st. 1t presents in a
small space as many difficult words as
possible to be written from dictation
by those in this way unusually gifted:
The most skilful gauger ever knew
was maligped 0obbler, armed with q
poinard, who drove pedler's wagon,
using a mullen stalk as aninstrument
of coercion to tyrannize over his pony
shod with calks. He was q Galilean
Sadduoee and he had a phthisicky ca
tarrh, diptheria and the bilious inter-
mittent erysipelas. A certain sibyl,
with the sobriauet of "Gypsy," went
into ecstasies Of cachinnation at see-
ing him measure bushel of peas and
separate saccharine tomatoes from q
heap Of peeled potatoes, without dye
ing or singeing the ignitible queue
which ne wore or becoming paralyzed
with h@morrhage. Lifting her eyes
to the ceiling of the cupola of the cap
itO1, to conceal her unparalleled en-
barrassment, making a rough cour-
tesy and not harassing him with mys-
tifying, rarefying and stupefying in
nuendoes, she gave him a couch, a
bouquet of lilies, mignonette and
fuchsias, a agtreatise on mnemonios, a
copy Of Apocrypha In heiroglyphics,
daguerre0types of Mendelssohn and
Kosciusko, a Kaleidoscope, q dram
phial of ipecacuanha, a teaspoonful of
naphtha for deleble purposes, fer
rule, clarionet, some licorice, sur
eingle,s q carnelian of symmetrical
proportions, ohronometer with
movable balance-wheel, a box Of DOM
inoes and catechism. The gauger,
who was also trafficking .rectifier
and parishioner of mine, preferring
a woollen surtout (this choice was ref
erable to vacillating, occasionally
occurring idiosyncrasy), wofully ut
tered this apophthegm: :" Life is
checkered; heresy and villainy shall
be punished The sibyl apologizingly
answered, "There is ratably an allege-
able difference between a comfortable
ellipsis and trisyllable diwresis."
We replied In trochees, not impugning
her suspicion.

ACROSS BY RAIL!

Over the prairie, SO wide, SO great,
A Like snow-bound inland sea,
We whlrled along from state TO State,
Day by day, and early and late, =
Towards the Western sea. y"
Over the mountains, SO high, so grand,
Shrouded and belted In snow.
In majesty carved, by Gods own hand,
Dividing the East from the Western land,
Away, and away we co.
Down and down from the rocky sleeps,
BY canon, and cleft, and stream, -
To where the American Desert sleeps,
And all is dreary, and solitude keeps
Watch on the desolate plain.
BY the barren shores Of the Great Salt Sea,
We speed in the moonlight CLEAN,
The stars look down on the waters bright,
Enriched in hills, snow-capp'd and white,
Till vanished like dream.
eAnd day and night, and night and day,
With still unceasing roar,
We glide by river, and dale and hill. &

One Better.

Our evening cotempofafy mentions
a speculation of one of our enterpris-
ing citizens, In which he bought real
estate for $500 and sold for 5000. We
can "see that and go one better" In
1886, Mayor Beaudry took lot of
land near the Fairview Tract, which
had been begging q purchaser for a
long time at the moderate price of $50.
He took 1t on what he then considered
q bad debt. Within the past year he
has sold this lot for $4,350. It is situ-
ated in the hill lands adjoining the
Fairyiew tract, and there are no i'm
provements upon it to make this enor-
nous increase in value. The bare
land and the prospects of Los Angeles
have done the business.

The Election.

The result of yesterdays election
was forgeone conclusion as there was
known to be hardly a show Of opposi-
tion to the question of the special tax
for school purposes placed before the
people. There was consequently no
excitement over the matter and
the majority Of our citizens let
the day pass without depositing
their paMots. We will, hope that
this is not attributable to indifference
in a matter of 30 much real import
ance to the city, but that many
thought there were enough to carry the
measure without their help and SO let
it pass. The result however is entire
ly satisfactory and proves the hearty
endorsement of our people. The re-
turns are as follows: First 'Ward:-
For tax, 81; against, 2; for assessor,
Morris 81; for collector, Morris 85, for

Every year increases the populari-
~ ofthis valuable Hair Preparation
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruH, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications.
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREpA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
