In NJ. Trurchsr and Margolli's. book
on Volcanoes" the Steamboat Springs
are described as follows: 1--WE have
already described the intermittent springs
OF Icelsnd-ths Geysers; similar springs
have been discovered In California, on
the eastern slope OF the chain Of Sierra
Nevada. not far from tho Lake OF
Washoe. The water rises in jets 10 q
height OF seven yards; the jets follow
each other at intervals Of Ave minutes,
and produce . noise which resembles
thunder"
The temperature Of the hot water met
with in the Clifford amaleamated mines,
Cornwall. closely corresponds with that
Of the Comstock. See In Professor
w. W. smyth's report. 1864. At q
depth Of 1880 feet below the adit, or
1850 feet from the surface, the water
issued at . temperature Of l22 degrees.
The enclosing rocks Of the Wheal Clif.
ford lodes are clay. slate and quartz
porphyry. both OF q compact texture.

Resolved, J. We deeply deploTo
the division caused by the said call,
and hereby pledge ourselves to be

2. That we do not recognize the

clare all such usurpations Of power
by said committee as tending to cen

3. That the spirit of Capitalization
exhibited not only by the republican

and dangerous, especially to the labor

had an important bearing upon the
public mind aud the public interest as
we'll. though it was given out in New
York that the consultation was not a
matter of public interest, and there
fore the proceedings Of the commits
sions were withheld from the public
prints.
In a letter to Chairman Turley,
printed in yesterday mornings Appeal
Mr.. F. H. Cossitt, a large creditor aud
former resident here, says there are
two or three hundred cd city bonds
endorsed by railroads which the own
ers will doubtless not wish to cOmpro-
mise. A number Of school bonds for
which the holders claim the school
houses are responsible, are also out OF
the compromise. The mandamus tax
creditors will not be apt to compro-
mise, he also remarks. How much all
Of this Indebtedness amounts to is not
given out, but altogether will doubtless
cut a big figure in the debt when
compromise time arrives, though Mr..
Cossitt hopes that the citizens will
consider the terms offered fair for
them and will endorse h e-proposals,
He also thinks a trust company in
New York and a bank as trustee here
should represent the parties to the
compromise when it is to go into
effect, if it ever does, Mr.. COssitt
sends the following as the basis upon
which the New York creditors are
willing to settle:
Holders of compromise bonds shall
agree to accept three per cent interest
for three years, FIVE per cent interest
for three years, and six per cent there
after-said bonds to run for thirty
years, payable at the leasure of the
city. Interest on all bonds 90 be COM
puted to the first of July, 1881.
All the outstanding old bonds, to-
gether with all judgments, paying
scrip, coupons and Indebtedness OF
any kind, to be compromised at fifty
cents on the dollar, computing interest
to the first of July, 1881.
The twelve per cent interest abated
to be given to the city for sanitary
purposes.
A special tax of one per cent to be
levied to pay interest and sinking
fund.
|, All coupons on the new and com.
promise bonds to be receivable fol
taxes.
No Indebtedness of any kind to b.
, created hereafter.
AL bonds and coupons to be il
trust for ten years, and in case Of de.
fault of interest on the compromise
bonds, returnable to the holders o.
compromise bonds if demanded.
The holders of ninety per cent o.
the indebtedness must accept thi,
compromise and deposit their BOND,
or other evidence of Indebtedness
within two years to make it binding
on all that do accept it.
1t is very important that this com.
promise should be carried through
successfully and as early as possible
so that Memphis can be relieved aLC
90 ahead again as of old.

One great reason why hot weather
is so facilitating lies in the fact that
the body is exhausted by the labors of
the year. Indeed, it is natural that
this should be so. In order, therefore,
to resist this tendency to exhaustion
it only becomes necessary to re-invig-
crate the body, which can readily be
done by one or two bottles Of Warner
safe tonic. This remedy is being ex-
tensiyely used by physicians for this
purpose. and is for sale by druggists in
