American Volcanoes.

Since We now have an active volcano
in the United States. the subterranean

gin to be of some interest u us. Many
of the Mexican volcanoes have been

lea, and others are on record as having

ter the Spanish invasion. Among those
that had been longest quiet. was the

1t has been noticed that earthquakes
formerly frequent in this vicinity, have
not taken place since its last eruption.
and there is a notion that the vent CIV

lief TO pent up gases and materials that
otherwise would have caused disturb
ance. II this theory holds good. Cali
fOrnia can be saved from another earth

The eruption is said to have taken
place about sixty miles north of Yuma.

A short time after the murder Of the

he made a visit to the place in company
with Geo. N. SAMSON, and that they met
a certain party whom he accused of com
hitting the murder. The man at first
denied this, but when closely pressed,
stated that he was a sOmnambulist and
hat if he did it he was not aware Of the
fact. The dream so impressed Mr..
Trowbridge that he related it to MI:
SAMSON, giving him a minute descrip-
ton Ct the man as seen in the dream
The latter at once exclaimed, "Why, that
is Mr.. - who resides near to Lewis
Spenceris, and is q better description
than I could give. myself" This is
somewhat remarkable. as MI. Trow.
bridge has never seen the party referred
to, either before or since the murder.
Suspicion at ono time pointed towards
this party q implicated in tie murder,

the murder q neighbor stayed all night

Some years ago a yong man holding a
subordinate position In the East India
Companylss service twice attempted to
deprive himself OF life by swapping a
loaded pistol at his head. Each time the
pistol missed fire. A friend entering
his room shortly afterward. he request
ed him to fire it out the window. 1t
then went off without any difficulty.
Satisfied that the weapon had been duly
primed and loaded, the young man
sprang up, exclaiming:
II must be preserved for something
great"
And from that moment he gave up
the idea of suicide, which for sometime
previous hand been uppermOst in his
thoughts. That young man afterward
became Lord Give.

When Oliver Cromwell was an infant

and ran along the leads of the house.
The utmost alarm was excited ameng
the inmates. and various devices were
used to rescue the child from the guar
dianship of his newly found protector.
All was ~unavailing. his wOuld-be res
cuers had lost courage, and were in de-
spair Ofever seeing the baby alive again;
when the monkey quietly retraced his
steps and deposited its burden safely
upon the bed. On a subsequent occasion
the water had well.nigh quenched his
insatiablv ambition. He fell into a deep
pond, from drowning in which a clergy.
man was the sole instrument of his

Montenegrin Women.

MOntenegrin women have the same
passionate attachment with the men
to family and country, and disply much
of the same valOr.
GObtchevitch supplies two most re.
markable examples. A sister and four
brothers, the four of course all armed
are making a pilgrimage or excursion
to a church. The state of wal with the
Turk being normal, we need not wonder
when We learn they r attacked una
wares on their way, in a pass where
they proceed in single file, by seven
armed Turks, who announce themselves
by shooting dead the first of the broth
ers and dangerously wounding the Sec
Ond. The odds are fearful, but the fight
proceeds. The wounded man leans
against the rOck,and though he receives
another and fatal shot, kills two of the
Turks before he dies. The sister presses
forward, and grasps his rifle and his
dagger. At last all are killed on both
sides, excepting herself and q single
Turk. She asks for mercy and he prom.
Uses it, but names her maidenly honor
as the prizes. Indignant, and preceiving
that now he is off his guard, she stabs
him with the dagger. He tears it from
her hand, they close, and she dashes the
wretch over the precipice into the yawn-
ing depth below.
The second anecdote is not less sing
ular:
Tidings reaches a Montenegro wife
that her husband has just been slain by
a party under the command of q certain
Aga. Knowing the road by which they
are travelling. she seizs q ride, chooses
her position, and shoots the Aga dead.
The rest of the party take to fight The
wife of the dead Aga sends her an
epistle:
thou hast robbed me of both my
eyes. Thou art a genuine daughter of
Tsernagora Come Tomorrow alone to
the border.line. and we will prove by
trial which of us was the better wife"
The Tsernagorine appeared, equipped
with the arms of the dead Aga and
alone, as she was invited. But the Turk.
ish woman had thought prudence the
better part of vslor. and brought an
armed champion with her, who charged
her on horseback. She shot him dead a.
he advanced. and. seizing her fsithless
antagonist, bound her and took her
home, kept her As q nurse-maid fOr14
years. and then let her 90 back to her
place and people.
