MISCELLANY.

THE CRATER OF PoPocATAPETL.--In a
letter to the Philadelphia Record, Nathan Il.
Perkins, of NTerchantville, N. j., describes at
great Iesgth ail. ascent Of the Mexican volca-
no Popocatapetl, having reached the crater
after toilsome climb and descended as far as
be could without a rope. From this position
a good view was obtained of the crater walls;
the bottom was hidden by ascending smoke
and steam. The lower walls were hung with
large masses of sulphur interspersed with
icices hundreds of feet long.
The crater is about one mile across, and has
the appearance of a large funnel, whose sides
are but little inclined, and the bottom not
visible. There. seems to be three distinct
rings, which divide it into four zones, the
largest being that nearest the mouth. From
the summit, the City of Mexico, although
over one hundred miles away, was plainly
visible, and, surrounded by lakes as it is
seemed like a magnificent gem set around
with pearls. The whole great valley of
Mexico can be seen at glance. AT our feet
lay Ameca, over thirty miles distant, with its
luxurious growth of tropical plants and
orange groves and banana plantations, and on
the right Puebla and the old cities of Chilulo
and Tasealla, with their 1855 churches and
spires The distant mountain of Orizaba,
nearly two hundred miles away, the snowy
peaks of Melencl,a,s the White Lady, and
several others In the distance, stood arrayed
before.me. I felt fully repaid for my toll in
having climbed the highest mountain in North
America, whose summit is about eighteen
thousand feet above the sea level.

the story of a man in Maine who
pleaded guilty to charge of mnr-

MURDER, INSANITY AND LIB.
ERTY

| En-
A case is reported from Washing
ton county, in this state, which
illustrates, only too forcibly, how
defective and inadequate are oul
laws bearing upon the disposition
of persons-we will not call then
criminals-who take human lite bu
are adjudged insane and are no
sentenced to death or any penalty
on account of their insanity. One
Mack Vickers, negro man, killed
his wife at Brenham. Arrest, in.
dictment and trial in the dis.
trict court at Brennan followed
speedily enough. By some means,
however, the murderer had managed
TO fee a lawyer and the lawyer was
up with the times. He put in a plea
of insanity for his client and on trial
Mack Nickers acted very queerly.
We do not suppose he was as fin
ished, as subtle an actor as Gniteau,
but he did his best and perhaps he
was demented. AT all events the
jury believed him so and their YER
dict was "not guilty simply and
solely OH the ground of the prison
er's insanity, for there was no ques-
ton as TO his killing the woman,
without, too, any pr0vocation
on her part. The verdict ren-
dered, the district judge ordered
Nickers to Jail to await the action
of the county court. In due time
that tribunal met. No one appear
ing to make a charge of lunacy
against the wife-slayer, his faithful
lawyer again appeared on the scene,
with an application TO the county
Judge for the release of his client.
or course it was granted-there was
nothing else for the county judge
to do, under the law. and Nickers is
now a free man. Society recognizes
the enlightenment of the verdict
that declines to intiict death or
other severe penalty upon II
Iunstic, no matter how horri- |
Bile the deed committed by such |
unatic. but it fails to rec
1gnize the propriety, justice or wis
