Mount Shasta.

A very remarkable feature of Mount
Shasta is the collection of hot springs
200 feet below the top. The. extreme
summit is a steep ridge not more than
200 or 800 feet through, on a level with
The springs, and composed OF shattered
lava, which looks as though any water
falling in rain, or formed by melting
SHOWS upon 1T, would Immediately run
out through the cracks. There is in the
material nothing which, when brought
in contact with the air or moisture,
would cause heat by.chemical action.
Yet at the bottom of the steep ridge,
which at the foot is not more than 200
yards through, there is little fat Of
half an acre full Of hot springs, most of
them very small, and the largest not
more than three feet across. They have
temperature OF 100 degrees, and their
water IL strong with sulphur and vari-
GUS minerals. In some the water bub-
bies up violently, and there are openings
in the earth from which hot steam rush
es out with great force and considerable
noise. One OF these vents sends cut a
Jet OF steam two feet In diameter.
h These springs, and the earth around
them, retain their beet through winter
as we'll as summer, Notwithstanding the
severe cold that may prevail there. On
below the freezing pnslt al both sunrise
and sunset, and thb Temperature OF the
year there is probably--for we have no
long series Of obseryations--not higher
than 30 degrees, possibly below that
figure. Immense masses of snow lie on
the northern side of the mountains
through the summer, and on the north
ern SIDE there is a living glacier.
Notwithstanding the almost constant
cold resulting from the snow, ice, and
high elevation, the great heat supplied
from the heart Of the mountain does not
give way. The waters OF these springs
must be forced up by power, which,
though small In comparison, still sug-
gest the mighty forces that piled up this
cone to a height OF 5000 feet above the
adjacent ridges, and from its now ex-
tinct craters poured out the lava that
covered hundreds OF square miles with
desolation.-[ Shasta Courier. "

Wedding Anecdotes.

AS a general rule, ministers lind on the
principle that "a bird in the hand is
worth two III bush," that it is always
better to take the fee at the time Of the
wedding than to wait Tor any afber-iudg
ment OF the matter. A certain clergy
man to this day bears grudge against
New Jersey because j Jerseyman, after
his wedding asked if he should pay al
the time or settle when he came for the
certificate. The modest minister said,
"Oh, when you come for the certificate"
And that man has never come yeti
There seems to be strange atmos.

some time ago with the following mis-
placement of single letter: "Wilt thou

THE statistics of the amount of prec-
ious metals produced in the States and
Territories west Of the Missouri river,
during 1875, show grand total Of almost
$S1, 10000 This is an Increase OF 50, ,4s7,-
9S2 over the yield of 1874. Of the total
amount Nevada produced almost exact
ly one halt, $40, AIS, 1859; and of this all but
about $4o0o,000 was silver. California
yielded S17,753, ,15l, but little over one
fifth of the total amount. BY this show
ing Nevada stands far in advance Of all
others as q contributor to our stock Of

THE belligerent Carlists Of Spain have
adopted an anomalous mode of warfare
In planting batteries along the Atlantic
coasts with guns ranging seaward to IRE
upon approaching vessels. 1nasmuch
as there is no Spanish feet on that coast,
ana no prospect Of any, this movement
naturally leads to much speculation as
Tits meaning. 1t the Carlists intend
to open tice upon all vessels coming
within range of their shore batteries,
there will be lively time between Spain
and neutral nations. Perhaps this kind
OF complication is what the Carlists aim
TO bring about, in order to weaken the
Alfonsists. But the greater probability
is that other powers would make COM
mon cause with Alfonso and wipe the
Carlists out. as guerrillas and pirates.

Our Grain Exports.

Casual mention has heret0f0r been
made, in telegraphic reports, of great
financial embarrassments in Russia on
account OF unexpected arrangements in
her grain trade. Later and more de-
tailed information reveals the fact that
the United States grain expectation to
Western Europe, and especially to Great
Britain, has been SO great as to cause
Btagnation In the trade with Russia;
and hence her financial troubles.
Heretofore, this country, by reason of
its disadvantages of distance and time
and cost of transportation, has never
been able to compete successfully with
Russia in the grain markets N England,
France, and Germany. Upon any ac-
tire demand arising there for wheat,
the markets Of Western Europe could
always be met by immediate supplies
from Odessa. the famous grain port of
Southern Russia; while shipments from
this country must needs accept the
tagging wants Of the markets.
But the past year has witnessed a
change in all this. In 1863 our exports
Of wheat, nearly all of which went to
England, amounted to 1859, 1856 bushels.
This was no siderable quantity;
but the exports continued steadily to
increase for the succeeding five years,
until in 1S74 they reached the enormous
quantity of 70,349,6S4 bushels, nearly
i've times the amount exported In 1868.
Whenever combinations IL the lines OF
transportation from our Western States
to the seaboard can be avoided, and
competition keeps freight charges down
to moderate and reasonable terms, our
foreign grain trade Immediately as
sumes gigantic proportions, and enables
MS to compete successfully with
European producers in the European
markets. This is shown by the static
tics derived from the British reports on
the grain trade.
The total amount Of wheat aud -four
Imported by England during 1874 was
l9,a22,693 cwts. OF this amount the
United States furnished considerably
more than one-hali, while Russia fur
nIshed less than one-eighth. The guam.
tity forwarded from the Uaited States
Z was 27,2os,O52 cwts., and that received
from Russia was emily $685. ,9Te ewts.
The amount of money obtained as the
proceeds Of our breadstuifs exported to
Europe in 1874 was sl6l, ,19e. .s04 During

GUILFORD,

The papers report that a man of REIN
ed tastes whose wife died recently, and
who, on the road to Brattleboro with
his son to get coffin, took his gun, and
hound and frequently paused for half
hour for a shot at rabbit or squirrel
His son accompanied him with gun,
and on the return from Brattleboro both
sat on the coffin in the wagon and whiled
the time away in jokes. The night
before the funeral the bereaved husband
became thirsty, and actually drank dry
the bowl of liquor which had been used
to wet the face of his beloved. At the
funeral the young man thus addressed
the neighbors for their kindness: Friends
you have been very kind to us, and we
return our thanks and hope the time is
not far distant when we may do the
same favor for you"
