never has been any team in this country
able to beat them. I don't mean we
have not as good individual shots, but
their organization is simply perfect,
Discipline will always beat superior in
dividual strength in such contests. In
America the Irish made higher score
than the best they ever made for the
Elcho Shield, and yet, although it is true
by accident were beaten, the fol-
lowing week when competing for in
dividual prizes, they made fifty-two
points more than the Americans over
the same course. The Irish score at
Holly Mount on June Goth, was again
better than any they had ever made for
Elcho shields, while the Americans aver
aged l6l. l6. which is higher than the
best individual score ever made at VIM
beldon. The letter points to the above
statistics as proof that the Americans
are almost safe from defeat shooting
against picked team. while if allowed
to compete with three-eighth's s, the match
would be the best and most interesting
the world has ever seen.

STILL ON THE SHOOT.

SILL ON THE SHOOT.
BELFAST, July 8 -Gilderseeve to-day
received a letter from tho Secretary of
the National Rife Association, inviting
the Americans to shoot on the 18th inst,
against team OF eight picked men from
the United Kingdom, the range to be
one thousand yards, and each man to
have thirty shots. Gildersleeve has re-
Piled. declining the proposition. He
says the Americans have determined to
adhere to their original plan of engaging
IN only one team match on this side of
the Atlantic. and thanks the Secretary
tor the invitation. A letter of a similar
character has been sent to Parsons, the
adlutant of the English eight in response
to his letter OF July 9th, proposing a
match between the Americans and a team
OF eight selected from four nationaities
OF the United Kingdom. For the present
all team matches are off. and it is not
likely any new ones will be made.
THE CUP.
AT the farewell banquet given the Amer
lean team this afternoon, Mayor Lindsay
entered near the close of the banquet and
presented Gildersleeve with the cup won
by him at Claudeboye. The Mayor said
the citizens of Belfast were glad the cum
was going to America. After further
speeches the company proceeded to the
pier to take the steamer for Glasgow, es-
corted by the Mayor and delegation of
citizens. Thousands of people lined the
docks and piers to see them off. and there
was loud and hearty cheering as the ves-
sci steamed out. The party will visit
the Scotch lakes tomorrow and expeot
to arrive at Edinburgh in the evening
THE "RAGGED EDGE IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, July 1O.-The Times, having
published some structures on the address
in favor of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
drawn by the Congregational ministers,
Rev. DIR. Alexander Raleigh, one of the
slgners, has written q letter in reply.
He indicates the action of himself and
his friends i'll signing the address: he
never meant to commit any portion of
the Nom Conformists to his views. and
then proceeds to declare it is not a sonnd
principle to assert that because n man
may be blameable in lighter things he is
not to be approached with an expression
OF sympathy by those who are upspeak-
ably glad to believe that he has shown
himself innocent of the heavier CHARGE
with complete success. The letter con.
clUdes as follows: l never sunnosed
that in signing the document I was ex.
pressing. any opinion on Mr.. Beeober's
| sayings or doings in general. / bel;avs
the Christian sentiment of England will
unanimously lament and condemn some
things, which Mr. Beecher acknowledges
in the course of the trial. He has
blamed himself without stint, and nov

will stand in honor and usefulness al

The Volcanoes of Iceland.

Iceland is situated ut the termination
Of the great volcanic line, skirting the
extreme west of the Old World, which
has existed since the Cretaceous period
certainly, whilst the points of eruption
appear to have travelled northwards.
AS all the rocks are igneohs, or igneous
derivatives, no stratigraphical arrange
ment can be made out. Basaltic lava
streams are common in the vicinity of
Reykjavik, though no active volcano
exists in this part of the island, which
is in the secondary stage of solfataras
and hot springs. These soliataras arc
mere pits of BLUSH white sliceous mud,
the result of decomposition of contig-
nous tufa. The principal gas exhaled
is sulphuretted hydrogen. Their posi-
tion changes. The hot springs are
working out their own destruction by
the accumulation of sinter the com
position of this varies in springs within
few yards of each other, Tho large
riffs in the old lava Mt Thingvala were
attributed to the flowing away of the
undercurrent of lava into yet deeper
depression, thus leaving the unsl1p-
ported crust to sink down in the micdle.
All the laves of Heckla are basaltic, and
contain crystals of felspar and olivine.
An ash and cinder forms the summit of
the mountain. There were four craters;
the longest one is IN elliptical depres-
sion $50 feet deep, at the bottom of
which lay snow, though some ashes and
clay were still quite hot. The district
of Mydals Jokull, containing the terri.
BILE volcano Kotluiia, is remarkable for
the confused intermixture Of aqueous
and igneous, ,eiectamenta, producing ag-
glomerates and tufas. Sand and hot
water are the principal productions of
Ketlujia itself, which has not been
known to produce lava, though ancient
felsitic lavas we're noted at its base.
These floods are produced, in addition
to the melting of the Jokull, by the
bursting of large cavities in which water
has accumulate for years. Such res
ervoir was noted in small nsighboring
crater, Mt the bottom of which was a
deep pool of turpid water, into which
several small streams emptied them
selves, but none ran out again. To
Vatna Jokull the principal volcanic
forces of Iceland seem now TO have re-
treated. This is vast tract of snow
and ice which rests upon neet of vol
canoes, many of which have been in
eruption during historical time. The
Yatna rises from series of basaltic
platforms. The existence of perma.
,nently active yoicanoes in the unknown
interior Of Gnis mass ~ slss IaiasTed dsnots

HOW Fish NAV BE Improved.

It ia now well known that the. rich,
delicate flavor of the white. fish in many
western lakes comes from q celery fed
parasite on which it lives. This celery
is the marine plant that gives to the
canvas back duck it's glory among con-
noisseurs of the table. Here is O good
hint in the line of fish culture. Why
may not the common varieties be made
table delicacies, for instance, by put
ting them on mild diet Of Worcester
shire sauc. before they are served? It
is the creosote and gas parasite, how
ever--the deadly refuse of oil and paper
mills-that should be first looked to.
CLAIMS and oysters and even fish are
thus being foully impregnated and
sometimes killed. The fish of the
Genesee river were recently found SO
tainted with kerosene from oil mills as
to render them unit for food. a SINH
lar condition in the river Iser, produc-
ing au appeal from the fishermen of
Munich to the government, has called
out an eminent chemist, Prof. A. Wng-
ner, vino shows 10y experiments, that in
water with one per cent. of gas refuse,
fish die in six minutes, with one-half
per cent. they die in thirty minutes,
while one-tenth per cent. kills the hard
lest river fish in twenty-four hours. A
partial guard against this, the profess
sor suggests, is to allow a gradual dis
charge of the refuse into the stream,
instead of the Wholesale dumping now
practiced,

If Miss Hallowell had suddenly spo.
ken to him in pure Sanscript or the
choicest 1roquois, Mr.. Thornton could
| not have been more ,astounded. He sat
for q few moments in silent amazement.
But the utter ridiculousness of the
thing soon came to him in its full force,
and, without any premonitory symp
toms, he fell into violent paroxysm of
laughter. His efforts to control him
self were quite useless, and one or two
were instantly smothered in fresh
| outburst.
Miss Hallowell's astonishment was, at
first, as great as his had been. She,
| too, soon recovered from that feeling |;
but, instead of being succeeded by
mirtb, it was followed, in her case, by
a passionate fit of anger. With look
of ineffable scorn she got up, walked
out of the parlor, and went straight to
her own room. Mr.. Thornton left the
house feeling unable to make any ex
planation at that time. In the mean
lime Miss Hallowell INDUCED in numer-
Gus rather wild plans for being revenged
upon the man who, she thought, bad
treated her SO shan efully in return tor
her consideration and kindness. But
at last she found relief in flood of
tears, end soon afterward Was half.in-
clined to laugh at the whole affair her
self.
She returned to the city few days
after this little episode and one morn
ing, when she had been at home nearly
week, she received the following note:
ERCULANEU1, Jan. 2, 1873.
My DEAR MISS HALLowELL-1h hardly know
how to apologize for what must have seemed
to you the most outrageous rudeness. But as
afford any excuse for me, I will give it at once.
I called that morning at Mrs. Mason's request,
having promised her to give you some advice
about your manner to gentlemen; aud feeling
after the promise was made, that you could
hardly fail to consider such action very Off
cious and unwarrantable, was awkward and
embarrassed, and conducted myself in way
made. beg you to believe that am heartily
| sorry for having acted 90 foolshly throughout
and hope yon.wiIl not refuse to number among
your riends your sincere well-wisher.
