LONDON, January 2l.-The Times,
which yesterday in its financial article
rejected Senator Sherman's proposition
looking to a common unit for money
aud accounts for the United States and
Great Britain, to-day editorially approves
the measure. 1t says: America in re
turning to specie payments will almost
enter upon a new phase of monetary de
velopement there, therefore the change
in the American standard Of value viii
involve no serious check to social aut
commercial arrangements, such as would
ensue upon the alteration in value o.
the British sovereign. The propositisr
opens no less a prospect than the estab
lisbment OF a common monetary system
for the English speaking people.

Duels of late years have lost much Of
the deadly character which was formerly
the chief objection urged against them,
and hostile meetings" as a rule, have
now no more serious result than the
waste of ammunition involved by the
necessity of both parties diseharging
their pistols and interchsnging compli.
mentary s%alutes. A fatal duel has, how.
ever, just taken place in Spain, where
the Marquis de Sofrazs has been shot
by Major Lilburne, an Irish officer in the
service Of Don Carlos. The duel, it is
stated, was conducted with chivalrous
courtesy on both sides. The first in
terchange Of shots being Intellectual, the
seconds most kindly decided on allowing
the combstants to indulge in q second
shot. and thus give them a chance Of
compensation for the disappointment
caused by their first Intellectual effort to
destroy each other. This second attempt
was partially successful, for although
Major Lilburne was not killed his bullet
pierced the brain of the Marquis de So
fraza, who died in o few minutes. No
one, it is said, regretted the fatal result
more than the survivor, whose conduct
throughout the affair was so marked by
good taste and feeling as to call forth
the warm commentator of all concerned
in the gallant affair. Unfortunately the
Majors regrets came a few minutes too
late to be ef much service to the Mar
quis, who, nevertheless, had be killed
the Major instead Of being killed him
self. would no doubt have been equally
profuse in his expressions of regret. The
cause of the meeting arose out Of a ra-
ther heated argument on Spanish poll.
tics, which no doubt afford legitimate
excuse for much difference Of opinion.

Hot . rings andImount shasta.


Shasta lCal.l &c urier.l
A very remarkable feature Of Mount
Shasta is she collection of hot springs
200 feet below the top. The extreme
summit is a steep ridge not more than
200 T 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 it would Immediately run out
through the cracks. There ia in the
material nothing which, when brought
in contact with the air OF moisture, would
cause heat by chemical action. Yet al
the bottom of the steep ridge, which al
the foot ia not more than 200 yards
through, there is a 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 a
temperature of one hundred degrees, and
their water is strong with sulphur and
various minerals. In some the water
bubbles up violently, and there are open
ings in the earth from which hot
steam rushes out with great force and
considerable noise. One of these
vents sends out a jet Of steam two
feet in diameter. These springs and the
earth around them retain their heat
Ithrough winter as well as summer, not
w%ithstanding the severe cold that may
prevail there. Oh the LIST Of October the
thermometer was below the freezing
point at both sunrise and sunset, and the
temperature of the year there is proba'
bly-for we have no long series of OBJ
~seryations = not higher than thirty
degrees, possibly below that figure. I'm
mense masses Of snow lie on the southern
side of the mountain through the sum-
mer, and on the northern side there is a
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 a power,
which, although small in comparison,
still suggests the mighty forces that piled
up this cone to a hight of 5000 feet above
the adjacent ridges, and from its now
extinct craters poured out the lava that
covered hundreds Of square miles with
desolation.
