Volcanoes in the Moon.

The elder Herschel fully believed
that on one occasion he saw the flames
of an active volcano in the moon; and
quite recently DR.. Klein announced his
discovery of new crater on the lunar
surface. Still the prevailing impress
sion among astronomers is that the
moon is dead world, and that while
the eviden ce of past volcanic action in
that satellite are abundant. its internal
fires have long since been extinguished.
The controversy az 10 the existence of
active volcanoes is likely, however, to
be reviewed by the publication in the
Scie,aifc American of Il supposed erup-
ton OF O lupsr volcano seen by Mr..
John Hammes and his son at OskalOosa,
Ia, on the 18th of last November, at
$50 p. m. MIR. Hammes, it appears,
has II GH inch telescope, with which
he travels around the country showing
the moon and planets to schools and
colleges, and is, therefore, familiar
with the appearance of that body and
the use of his instrument. He describes
the eruption as lasting haitian hour,
and as being of the same color and as
plainly visible as any other mountain
scenery in the moon. His son also saw
the phenomenon, but describes the
eruptive streaks as less fan-shaped than
those seen by his father. According
to the sketch furnished by Mr.. Hammes,
the new volcano seems to be in the
vicinity of Baco, Barocius and Nicolai,
as given ON Beer and Madlers map of
the moon. Mr.. Hammes had, of course,
no means of measuring the height of
the eruption, but his sketch shows that
it proceeded from q clearly-defned
crater. Mr.. Hammes is well-known in
Keokuk, Ia, and the Mayor, Postmaster
and other officials of that city vouch for
him as an honest and trustworthy man.
The surface of the moon is now SO
closely scanned both here and in
Europe, that if the eruption seen by
Mr.. Hammes was not an optical illu-
sion-and many remarkable instances
of such mythical appearances are on
record-it ought to be confirmed by
other observers. Meantime, the belief
that the moon is not so dead as has
been imagined, is growing among
scientific mel, and the discovery of
this supposed new volcano is sure to
strengthen it.

A Prima Donna in Prison.

A memorable and beautiful scene was
presented in Auburn, N. Y, State
Prison, the other morning, when Ma
RE Roze Mapleson. the we'll known
prtana donna, visited the institution and
sang in the presence of nearly all OF its
inmates, embracing upward of twelve
hundred convicts. An incident of this
character has occurred there but once
before, the occasion of the visit of
Jenny Lind. A letter from one of the
gentlemen present depicts the scene as
extremely touching. On the arrival of
Marie Roze she desired to know if all
of the prisoners were present, and be-
ing answered in the negative by Keeper
Wells, she requested that even those
who might be in solitary confinement
should, as o special privilege, be per-
mitted to come into the chapel and
join the other convicts in listening to
the music which she proposed to sing,
The request was granted, and the
poor fellows, some of them for the first
time in many years, were permitted to
look once more ON the face of q beauti
full woman, and hear again from an &C
complished artistic the sweet notes that
reminded them of the innocent days of
youth. The chief selections of Madame
Roze were "Sweet Spirit, Hear my
Prayer" and "The Sweet By and By"
The singer SO effectually reached the
hearts of her hearers that even the
most hardened criminals were stirred
to tears. After this the fair cantatrice
made tour of the institution, the pris-
oners meanwhile being retained in the
chapel, and on her return she sang the
old familiar air, Comm Tho the
Rye" Meanwhile some of the most
intelligent among the convicts prepared
testimonial of thanks, which was duly
signed and presented to the lady. The
writer of the letter adds: "There can
be little doubt that every one of these
twelve hundred prisoners worked with
cheerier hearts all that day, and that
the poor fellows in solitary confinement
will for long time recall and enjoy
this fresh ray of sunlight. Home

A Blighted City.

Holly Springs is city of the dead;
empty houses that have such deserted
appearance that you imagine thous-
and horrors; the gardens four feet
high in weeds; broken fences, no gates
and the hogs and cows destroying the
flowers and shrubs; not soul to be
seen in the streets. Here and there,
amid the desolation, you see pale,
sickly stream of smoke issuing from
the doors, windows and chimneys of
an apparently deserted house. But no
sound is heard. All the associations
connected with the living seem buried.
1t is so horribly quiet that you find
yourself shuddering, and you wonder il
you are quite we'll. Presently you see
o negro convalescent, who recognizes
you, and who, in doing so, presents a
o grin rendered more hideous by his
cadaverous look and the color of his
skin. He encourages you by saying
that everybody who comes back to
town gets the fever; that this man and
that man are down with it, and are
sure to die, or that they are already
dead. If you meet white person,
you feel afraid to ask after his friends,
and if you do, you hear the stereotyped
answer, dead and buried (" followed
by an outburst of tears. Then you are
compelled to listen to all the incidents
connected with their death and burial;
how the husband looked at his wife,
before he laid down forever himself;
and how he lay helpless while they
carried her to the grave; how another
lay shut up with his wife in fodder
house, with no one to wait on them,
and how the husband after crawling on
his hands and knees to perform the last
earthly duties for his loved wife,
crawled back to his own bed, made of
three or four bundles of fodder, to die
if God wills it so, or else to struggle
through fifteen days of sickness, and
to come forth q wreck of humanity,
only to be cursed by the wretches out
side who charged him with endanger-
ing the lives of the community by
coming there to die. This is no fanci-
full sketch, but the truth, except that I
have not told all, 1t is too horrible

EdisOn's COurtship.

The story of Edison's courtship,
while it lacks the roseate tinge of ro-
nance, illustrates the mans faculty OF
going to the heart of things with the
smallest possible amount of circumlo-
cation. When he was experimenting,
some::years ago, with the Little automatic
telegraph system, he perfected con-
trivance for producing perforations in
paper by means of a keyboard. Among
the young women whom he employed
to manipulate these machines, with O
view to testing their capacity for speed,
was q rather demure young person who
attended to her work and never raised
her eyes to the incipient genius. One
day Edison stood observing her as she
drove down one key after another with
her plump fingers, until, growing ner-
vous under his prolonged stare, she
dropped her hands idly in her lap and
looked up helplessly into his face. A
genial smile, such as irreverent para
graphists have referred to as "the Ed
ison grim" overspread Edison's face.
and he presently inquired rather alb
ruptly:
"What do you think of Inc, little girl
Do you like me?"
"Why, Mr.. Edison, you brighten me.
THAT isl"
Don't be in hurry about telling
me. 1t doesn't matter much, unles s
you would like to marry me-"
The young woman was disposed to
laugh, but Edison went on:
"Oh, 1 mean it. Don't be in q rush
though. Think it over, talk to your
mother about it. and let me know soon
as convenient-Tuesday, say. How
will Tuesday suit you next week
Tuesday, mean ?"
Edison's shop was at Newark in
those days, and one night a friend OF
his, employed in the main office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company in
New York. returning home by the last
train, saw light in Edison's private
laboratory, and climbed the dingy
stairs to find his friend in one of his
characteristic stupors, half-awake and
half-dozing, over some intricate point
in electrical science which was battling
him.
Hello, Toni" cried the visitor,
cheerily,' "what are you doing here
this late? Aren't you going homer"
"What time is it ?" inquired Edison,
sleepily rubbing his eyes and stretch
ing liz lion suddenly aroused.
Midnight, easy enough. Come
along"
:" Is that SOP" returned Edison in q
dreamy sort of way, 1 must go home
then. l was married to-day"
Marriage was an old story with him
he had been welded to electrical
hobbies for years. But, in spite of his
seeming indifference on "the most
eventful day" in his life, he makes a
good husband, and the demure little
woman of the perforating machine

BELABoRED WITH AN UMBRELLA
Seventh street above Chestnut yester-
day afternoon wss the scene of q very
amusing incident, growing out of q
case of mistaken identity. A news
paper reporter was strolling leisurely
down the first named thoroughfare,
when a rather respectable-looking,
middle-aged lady approached him from
behind and without moments warn
ing brought her umbrella down upon
the unsuspecting scribe's head with
such force as to crush his hat down
over his eyes. The enraged female
followed up the first blow with several,
and there is no telling what would have
become of the reporter but for the
timely interference of reserve officer.
What's the matter?" inquired the
faithful guardian of the peace. why,
he he" At this point she caught
glimpse of the scribe's face, and sud
denly started up Seventh street. In

him for her undutiful son-in-law.-

Tired Mothers.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has so much TO bear;
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch Of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours So
tight;
You do not prize this blessing overmuch,
You are almost too tired to pray tonight.
But il is blessedness! A year ago
Ibid not see il as do to-day;
We are so dull aud thankess-and too slow
To catch the sunshine till 1t slips away.
And now it seems SURPRISING strange TO me,
That while wore the badge Of motherhood,
Ibid not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And if, some night when you sit down to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee
This restless, curling head from of your breast
This lisping tongue that cbatters constantly;
If from your own tie dilnped hands had
slipped,
And neer would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into tntir grave had trippcc,
could not blame you for your heartsche

To CLEAN SILK LACE. Take a
smooth, round bottle, and sew the lace
around, make little soap-suds, and
with piece of clean, old cloth, spat
the lace on the bottle with it until
clean. Rinse in clear water. When
clean use dry cloth in the same way
that you used the wet one until the
lace is dry.
CLEANING TINwARE.--Theb best thing
for cleaning tinware is common soda.
Dampen cloth and dip in soda, rub
the ware briskly, after which wipe dry.
Any blackened or dirty ware can be
made to look as we'll as new.
