Hazardous Descent into Crater.

Shetland papers state that two enter
prising Icelanders, named Joe Thork-
ellsen and Sigindur Kraksson, have ex-
plored the volcanic region of the Dying
yur Jelden They started on their haz-
ardous expedition from the BardadaI
on Feb 7, and in the course of two
days investigation they succeeded, un-
der great difficulties and dangers, in de-
scending into the crater of the volcanic
Askya, where at about SEQ feet below
the upper margin they reached the bot
tom and found themselves on the brink
of lake Of seething hot water, which
was apparently of great depth. Near
the southern extremity of the lake the
ground was broken up by assures and
pools, which prevented further progress
in that direction. The entire space re-
sounded with the noise of subterranean
thunder. North of the great crater the
explorers found an opening about 6OO
feet wide, and which appeared to be OF
equal depth, and from which issued
dense masses of sulphureus smoke, &C
companied by loud and deafening
sounds. This adventurous expedition,
which is described at length in the Ice
hg,dic Ncrdsnger, excited great interest
among the Icelanders, both on account
of the daring exhibited by the travellers
and the extent and novelty of the
ground they passed over.

i New Cattle Disease.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


The diseases to which cattle are La
BILE unfortunately, as a rule, battle the
skill Of veterinary science, and for this
reason alone some anxiety will no
doubt be caused by singular disease
called charbon," which, it is stated,
has made its appearance among the
COWS in the parish of Glantane, county
of Cork. Death seems to follow seiz-
ure with striking rapidity, one Of seven
COWS attacked on the same day
having died in four hours. With q
view probably of not wasting the flesh
of even diseased COW, the stomach of
the animal was divided into small
pieces, which, with great kindness and
iberality, were distributed among some
ducks and geese. The result was not
satisfactory The ducks and geese
voraciously devoured the feast thus
placed before them, and in less than
five minutes began to totter about and
then fell down dead. An attempt was
made by the veterinary surgeon to
bleed the animals infected, but no
blood would flow. The blood resem-
bled tar in its color and consistency.
It is some comfort to hear that the car
cases of the animals, by direction of
police, have been buried very deep.
The deeper the better and even Gre
nation might, with advantage, have
been brought into operation as regards
these COWS. @

Gutta Percha.

9 A mercantile correspondent of the
Scientific American one who imports
nearly all the gutta percha which en-
tiers the United States states that the
only region of production of this re-
markable material, thus undiscovered,
is the East India Islands n the imme-
date vicinity of Singapore. The prin-
cipal use made of the article, at pres
ent, is for insulating telegraph cables
and for cementing. But india rubber
is far more widely distributed, being
collected in localities all around the
globe, between the tropics. The best
quality of rubber GENES from the
banks of the Amazon River; Brazil
produces annually the immense guam
tity of about 100000 pounds, and
the Central American states, Africa,
and the East Indies together, about
100000. The consumption of the
material is about equally divided be-
tween Europe and the United States.

Hayden on the Death of His Child.

[ have lost my younger daughter, the
more beautiful of the two, and under
circumstances of great sorrow and af-
Fiction. She lived but two years and
nine months, and her life was long
torture. Good God, what an existence
this is ! Here is a creature comes into
the world without her consent, never
speaks from pain, never walks from
suffering, yet conscious of hearing 9TH
ers speak, and seeing others walk, and
dies gssping with ambition to do what
others do, is seized with commissions,
and dies, without the power of making
her sufferings known or being able to
express one desire, one want, or one
necessity When she was in Il E
agonie5 of approaching death, put NV
face to hers, and said, !" Fanny, darling,
do you know pa ?" and she moaned a.
sent, as she used to do. Then she open
ed both her beautiful and lustrous eyes
with look which will live fresh in my
imagination till my last hour. The last
CONFUSION was now approaching, and
as if conscious Of some terrific power
she could not resist, with a frantic
scream she held out her arms as if ap-
pealing to me, who had always, to her
senses, been able to do, or order to be
done; what she wished, and she put out
her dear arms to me, as if saying
"Save me, save MEL, "Ah my dar-
ling" [ thought, "you little know the
power you appeal against" The strug-
gle exhausted her. She fell back, and
lay in a calm, soothing palpitation, and
IN a few minutes, died without sigh.
And then her dear face changed from
all the agony of pain to the angelic re
pose of death.

The Ruling Passion.

A bet made by celebrated gambler
nearly century ago deserves to be re-
corded for it's singularity. After run
OF i'll luck with Lord Lorn, he jumped
up suddenly, and selling large punch
bowl that stood near, said, addressing
his lordship: For once I'll have Cne
bet where have an equal chance of
winning Odd or even for $4,000
guineas." "Odd," replied the peer,
with the utmost composure. Dash
went the punch bowl against the wall,
and the pieces being counted, unfortun-
ately for the young hero of the expert
ment, there proved an odd one, and he
was ruined man.

Atlantic and Pacific.

The Atlantic Ocean was named after
mighty mythical giant named Atlas,
who, as tie Greeks believed, carried the
world on his shoulders-the same Atlas
who has a great mountain range in
Africa from his nam esake.
2 The other. great ocean didn't have to
go to Greece for a name. It just staid
where it was and behaved itself, until at
last, from its peaceful aspect, it was
called the Pacific.
This is IS it should be, my little
Americans-Poauer on one side of us,
and Peace On the other. And what is
better yet they're permanent institu-
tons. Fifty Centennials from now,

An Amusing Act Of Parliament.


It was more amusing, though, when
King Henry began his educa-
ton, to find special Act of Par
lament in his name, giving
authority to the Earl of Warwick, his
governor" to whip him when neces-
sary [ do not suppose Henry had
much to do with this, but it had to be
put in his name. eff we are negligent
in learning, or commit any fault, or do
anything contrary to Instructions of our
said cousin, we give him full power,
authority, license, and time, according
to his discretion, in the manner that
other princes Of our age, dis well in this
kingdom as in others, have hitherto
been accustomed to be chastized-with-
out being i'm peached or molested by us
|'or by any other person in future for so
| doing" Let us hope that Warwick
was not very hard upon poor, gentle
Harry, who loved learning, and no
doubt prepared all his lessons like the
meek and tranquil boy be was. 1t was
great deal better, was it not, that he
should be whipped for his own faults
than that he should have had, as it is
said James vi. of Scotland and I. of
England had-a "whipping-boy," who
was punished when his little master did
wrong, and whose cries were supposed
to have the same effect u pom the royal
sinner as if he had himself been whip.
ped? In Henry's time, I suppose, such
a clever idea had not been thought of
so hey made to forgive Earl Warwick
beforehand for classifying him. He
was SO gentle and so good that l believe
he would have forgiven him anycow
and taken his punishment very sweetly
|ifj he had required any. However
whether he was punished or not, he was
SO trained that he came to love learning
and do q great deal for the education OF
his country.-Ss. Nicholas.
