The Volcano of Oshlma.

The Japanese Nichi Nichi Shinbun
publishes the following account from
Il correspondent of a recent trip to a
volcano in actual eruption located on
Vries Island: GAS we neared the
island in the Yoke cuka Maru we per.
ceived only small quantity of smoke
during the day, but after nightfall the
glare of the fire and smoke from the
volcano presented grand but terrible
spectacle. Nam1.u-the port at which
we landed-bears every appearance of
having once been the site of volcano,
the ground being composed of a mass
of pumice stone. Whena distance of
three ri from the crater of the volcano
we could distinctly hear the terrible
sound of fire and lava vomiting forth
We assembled to the higbt st point of
the mountain, which is variously esti.
mated at from 2,300to $500 feet and
from that height gazed into the burn.
ing crater. The entire island seems to
have been volcanic, as there are sew.
eral extinct craters, one of which is
about t'velve cho in diameter and SOC
feet deep. To the west of it is small
crater about twenty feet in dian ter
from which still issue fire and 81 Ike,
We observ' numerous indicators OF
lava having streamed over various
rts of tie island, which itself is a
mpss of lum:ce. When we reached
the summit of the mountain rain com.
menced to fall heavily. Looking down
; the crater we noticed stones bub
ing up ar1 down as if in boiling
water and at intervals Of from two tc
FIVE minutes jets of lava were thrown
up to height of from 100 to $50 feet
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
weather became very stormy, and il
rained heavily then columns of lava
were shot up to a height of about l.,
600 feet, but most of it again fell into
the crater. Sulphur is not very plen
full. though we saw some burning or
,e edges Of the crater. To the north
of the volcano there is a hot spring
According to accounts given by the ma
tives, the volcano was active some
~-enty years ago but about that time
ceased to emit lava until the third
year of Meiji (187O, only sending fort}
volumes of smoke during the interval
But on the 9th or 28th Of December
1870, it again cast forth fire and lava
but soon ceased eruption, and did mo-
become active again until about thu
4th of January, this year.

When thistle-blows do lightly float
About the pasture-height,
And shrills the hawk parting note,
Aud creops the frost at night,
Then billy no though singing so,
And whistle as may,
There comes again the old heart pain
Through all the livelong day.
In high win creaks the leahess tree
And mods the fading fern;
1ho knolls are dun as snow-olouds be,
And cold the sun does burn.
Then no, hollo though calling so,

Aud tears arise unto my eyes,
And thoughts are chill and brown.
Far in the cedars' dusly stoles,
Where the sere ground-vine weaves,
The partridge drums funeral rolls
Above the fallen leaves.
And hip, hip, no though cheering SO,
It stills no whit the pain
For drip, drip, drip, from bare branch-tip,

sHKRmAN AT SEDAN.

A Asss,-.4'.'.;s.Aa:sssr...e-rs..ss
The following vidid account is taken
from Colonel Hofman's "reminiscences
Of two wars: .sAt the battle Of Sedan,
Sheridan stood near Count Bismarck.
Toward it's close he shut up his glass,
and turning to Bismarck said, The
bsttle iswon.''g The count replied that
he should be glad to think 80. but saw
no signs Of it yet Ina minute or two
more the French gave way. Turning
his glass toward Sedan, Sheridan OBJ
served, The emperor is there Bis
marck answered that it could not be !;
that the emperor was not such fool as
to place himself in that situation.
Looking sgain,y Sheridan said, He is
there anyhow He had drawn his con.
clusions from the immense staff he saw
and the confusion reigning among
them. Sheridan was right. The EN-.
psror and his staff were prisoners OF
war. The emperor had behaved with
the greatest personal courage, and sub.
sequently, when dissension arose be.
tween the French generals - to who
WAS respossibls for tie crest disaster,
he behaved With the greatest generosity.

About Widovs.

Winter-kept apples, old wine, cloud
ed meerschaum, a vase around which
the scent Of roses still hangs, all these
have rare, ripe, evanescent flavor that
suggest, but cannot express the charm Of
the widow. A young widow is, perhaps
the most interesting objectin znature-or
in art. SherepFesents experience without
its wrinklesor its gray hairs. She has
matronlv beauty and maiden1y freedom
combined, She is grief with q laughing
eye-sorrow in house offesdval-a silver
moon in sable cloud, She is too sweet
for anything! Like all good things, she
can only be created at a. great sacrihce.
Mrs Browning says that man must be
pretty thoroughly spoiled before he can
leave widow. This black swan-this
momnful Phenix-Eises only, out Of the
funeral urn that holds. the ashes Of a
husbands heart, poets, statesmen, heroes,
and philosophers have each felt the indef-
nable influence Of widowhood. It falls
alike upon the just and unjust. Edward
Plantagenet married the widow Eliza
beth Grey, though he knew she brought
civil war for her dowry, Ned Walker,
Joe Addison, Sam Johnson, George Wash
ington, Napolean Bonaparte; John Wes-
ley, Tony Weller, Ben Dlsraeli, and all
the boys married widows, Henry VIII
was 50 fond Of them that he took two, and
King David was 50 pleased with Abigail,
the widow of Nabal whom he took to wife
that he turned Bathsheba into widow ON
purpose to marry her. When Judith ceas-
es her cogitations over the virtues ofthe
late lamented, Manassas of Bethula, puts
ffher mourning and adorns herself in
brave attire % set out for the camp Of
Holfernes, we feel instictive!y she will
come back with his heart, his crown or
head, which ever she goes for. When
the old widow, Naomi, counsels the young
widow, Ruth, how to lay snares in the
harvest fields Of her kinsmen, and spring
her net on the tlrashing floor, we know
at once that the wealthy bachelor, Boaz,
