ton, he further said there were still per
sons who talked Of bayonets, and who
sought to revive the prejudi3cs of the
past This was much to be regret tied,
but there was enough to ill every heart
with gratitude, the house being no longer
divided, and all the inhabitants having a
fair start in the race for life. In this
and in all his other speeches he earnest
+ ly condemned the reopening of old issues
between the North and the South, feeling
assured that the time had come for com
plete reconciliation.
The President, Ia further conversation,
referred to the fact that the National Re-
publican Convention which nominated
him for the Presidency passed a resolu-
tiun saeredly pledgIpg the Republican
party to protect every citizen of the Uni

rights, and declaring that the permanent
pacihcatiOn Of the South should be effee-
teddy removing all causes of discord.
The spirit of this resolution was in per-

ly expressed, and he repeated them In
his letter of acceptance Of the nomina-
ton and more fully elaborated them in
his inaugural address, consistently main
tanning the policy of local selEgovern-
ment, apart from military support; and
when he entered upon the duties of the
Presidency. be intended that his policy
should not be one of sentiment merely,

with emphasis when he said: "MY belief
is that this course tends to give good
government to the South; it tends to Sc
cure peace between sections, and be-

it tends TO secure the rights, interes IS

A prominent citizen of Vancouver
advocates the passage of law requiring
the County to pay interest on all out
standing County orders semi-annually.
In answer to the question, why not

selves ana free the County from debt?
he said this generation should not be
compelled to pay the debts of somebody
else.
County orders drawing ten per cent,
per annum, interest pay able semi-annual-
ly, are very certain and safe documents
in which to invest money. True, the
interest is not exoi bitant, but is very
fair living ate, especially if the orders
have been bought for rs or so cents on
the dollar. So far as the present genera
ton and the County debt is concerned, il

Vesuyius Firing Up.

Vesuvius has every appearance of fir
ing up for another eruption. Smoke is
constantly issuing from the crater, and
occasionally in immense volumes, that
overspread the atmosphere like sable
pail. The other day dense black cloud
that had gathered about the crater was
suddenly driven over Pompeii. Ashes
and cinders fell i'll n thick shower, and
for time it looked as if themidday dark
ness that attended the eruption which
overwhelmed Pompeii and Herculaneum
was to be renewed, and the partially dis
entombed city was to be buried up again.
thought of the fate of Diomed's family,
smothered to death in the wine cellar,
where they sought refuge. When the
cloud drifted over, the pavements of
Pompeii were covered with thin layer
of hot volcanic ashes and minute scorie.
| asked the director of excavations if
Pompeii might not be covered up again.
"That depends on the duration of an
eruption of Vesuvius, he said, "and its
character. Should it break forth on the
eastern side of the mountain, eject
masses of scorie, volcanic ashes, and
showers of boiling water, the effect would
be as disastrous as i'll the 10Th year
of the Christian era, when Herculaneum
was covered up by strata of volcanic
matter sixty feet deep, and Pompeii and
Stabia and other cities were entombed
beneath heaps of mud and volcanic de-
posts" Vesuvius is the most uncertain
OF volcanoes. Prior to A. ID. 70, it had
slumbered for centuries. Since then it
has been more or less active, with spas
modic intervals of tremendous fury and
desolation. Pompeii is more than one
half excavated, but much remains to be
done before this old Greek city will
again be entirely laid open to view with
