much nearer to man and his works than
Skapta Jokul, and there Is apparently danger
that Catania. and even Messina, may be
gravey injured. To protect the former city
wall was formerly built quite sixty feet
high; and yet the lava has been known to
surmount this wall and to pour into the
streets Of the city. Since the first recorded
eruption Of Etna named by Diodorus Siculus,
there have been seventy considerable out
breaks of the mountain. That Of 1869 was
preceded by an earthquake. and attended by
the same phenomena that Is reported now,
namely. the opening OF many fresh chasms
or craters at different points nf the promon-
tory. The eruption overwhelmed fourteen
towns and Villages, some Of them at great
distance from the volcano. It is o remarkable
fact that eruptions have occurred at or about
the same time from volcanoes far distant
from each other. giving rise to an opinion
held by some ply sicists that u subterraneous
connection existed between the mountains.
The fact that Vesuvius is reported to be in
lively and increasing eruption ut the present
moment gives color to this theory, and lends
additional interest to the volcanic situation.

A MOTHERS ECSTASY.
Orazed With Joy at the Sight Of Deaf and
Dumb Child.
Nashville Americana

Quite an exciting scene occurred at the
Chattanooga depot yesterday afternoon on
on the arrival OF the O'Clock train from the
South The train had hardly ceased rolling
before 81 wOman's wall, loud and long, rose
above the hustle and the buzz that prevailed.
The first idea that suggested itself to the
mind was that some sister, or cousin, or aunt
had fallen underneath the wheels and had
been horribly manned. A grand rush was
made to the spot. People. quickened their
steps as successive hysterlcal shrieks rent
the air. The cutlery even reached the ears OF
General Superintendent Thomas, who rushed
Immediately down stairs, expecting to Wit
ness some CHASTITY spectacle By this time
the crowd had gathered closely about tall
man and his wife, the latter of whom was
still shouting: my long lost child! Oh, my
long lost child !" while she beat her husband
and other people on the back and kept those
persons nearest to her continually lodging.
Now and then she would embrace little
mute girl who had been absent at the State
Deaf and Dumb School for the past ten
months. The little girl was shedding tears
freely and looked up at her mother as II she
did not exactly understand 1t all. Meantime
the husband who seemed to appreciate the
situation keenly, attempted to quiet hts wife,
but Ii was all To no purpose. She finally be-
came calm, however, though. she, seemed as Il
she would never tire OF feastfng her eyes
upon the child and was utterly oblivious OF
everything and everybody else, the curious
crowd included.
