The Fat. in s.or. for Hot springs.


 The island of Ischia, which was so ter ribiy ras...s. en by an earthquake on the Stn of March, has volcanic history. TAe town of Casamicciola, which was ut terly destroyed with great loss of life, was famous for its warm mineral springs The principal spring, the Gurgitelio, has temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit, and just before the earthquake boiled violently, showing that there was unu. sual disturbance beneath, The cooking spring has temperature of 190 degrees. One spring has at times a temperature of 210 degrees. Mount Eporneo, which rises 2.610 feet above the sea, has an anc- tent reputation for volcanic action. Be fore the year 79 when Vesuvius suddenly distinguished itself by the destruction of Herculaneum and Pompeii, Mount Eporneo or Epopos of the Greeks was the centre of volcanic activity in that re- zion. According to Pliny a village was sunk by earthquake action during a fur ious eruption of Mount Eporneo, 262 B. c. The fate of this village was similar to that of Sodom and Gomorrah. A mash was left where it once stood.

Ten Gigantic Locomotives Philadelphia Times.

Ten iron giants for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will be built this sum- mer at Altoona. They will be much larger and more powerful than ordinary passenger engines and are to be built for the particular purpose of making up time on portions of the road where there are long stops. On the fast run between New York and Philadelphia, for instance, the time allowed is so short that when there are unusual stops letting off and getting on passengers the ordinary en- zines cannot make 1t up. Hence, a monster locomotive known on the road as No. 10" has been built as an experiment and tried on diff ferent trains to see what can be done. The result has been satisfactory, but there are many Improvements that sug- gest themselves which will be carried out in the construction of the other heavy engines that are to follow. In the slang of the railroad yard, No. 10 is known as the "Long-legged loco" This comes from the big driving she rldes upon. which stand six feet and six inches above the rails, or higher than a tall man with silk hat on. She has two pairs of drivers forged for her by Herr Krupp, the famous cannon maker.  In this is supposed to have been solved the highest aim that can be sought in locomotiye-to pull the heaviest trains over all grades against stiff winds and with the least possibility toward hot boxes or low steam on the quickest sched ule time. Her engineer says: "She goes like bird and rides like rocking chair" Ever since it has been running that engine has been making mile if ty-seven seconds on the up grade with long train in tow without getting heated. She makes less than mile a minute, and "keeps cool" Of course there is great consumption of fuel. In 1S0 miles 12.000 pounds of coal are used uf. The tank contains 5000, 400 more than are usually carried. Everything else is on proportionately large scale. Only the delay in getting boilers sufficiently large has prevented the completion of two others of nearly tine same pattern.

How Long May a Man Live.

It was Prof Hufeland's opinion that the limit of possible human life may be set at POO years. This is on the general principal that the life of creature is eight times the years of it's period of growth. That which is quickly formed quickly perishes, and the earlier com plete development is reached the sooner bodily decay ensues. More women reach old age than men, but more men attain remarkable longevity than women. Some animals grow to be very old.
 Horned animals live shorter lives than those without horns, fierce longer than timid, and amphibious longer than those which inhabit the air. The voracious pike exists, it is said, to the age of 140 years; the turtle is good for 100 years or more; and among the birds the golden eagle is known to have lived POO years; while the sly sombre crow reaches the venerable age of century.
 Passing up in the scale of life to man, and skipping to patriarchs, we had many recorded instances of longevity among the classic Greeks and Romans of cen tury.

I hereby certify that my boy. 10 years o age, was taken sick with typhoid fever, ioi' lowed by congestion of the lungs. Dr Dyer, an eminent physician of this place stated that he thought the boy would run down with quick consumption: A MT Patterson told me that Goes Cough Balsam was curing similar cases, and advised me to purchase it. When I carried it home, my wife laughed at me; but knew that Mir Patterson meant what he said, and deter mined to try it. Two bottles effectually cured him, so that now he is as tough and healthy as anybody.

A Grand Dukes Treacherous Protege.
 London Telepraph

It would appear to have been due to the vigilance of an abnormally intelli- gent Russian policeman that the anguish caused to the late Czar's rela- tives by the catastrophe of the 18th ut. was not deeply aggravated by the con sciousness that member of the i'm perial family had possibly been an ac> cessory before the fact, although totally innocent Of any ill intention toward his august kinsman. Last year, while travelling in Southern Germany, the Grand Duke Nicholas of Leuchtenburg became acquainted with young Russian chemist studying at ono oi the universi- ties, and took such fancy to his youth
 ful countryman that he invited the young man to return with him to St. Petersburg. This gracious request the student at first declined, on the ground that his means would not permit him to set up a laboratory in the Russian capi- tai or to purchase materials there with which to prosecute his experimental studies, whereupon the Grand Duke himself dabber in the sciences-placed his own laboratory in the Mariapka Palace al the disposal of his compatriot. further offering to pay his travelling ex, penses and to provide for all his wants in St Petersburg. Having erate- fully accepted this offer, the young chemist shortly afterward took up his quarters in a wing of the Marianka Palace overlooking the Novi Perenlok-a narrow street con meeting the Kasan street with the Pal. ace square and commenced operations in the Grand Dukes labratory. So ar dupns weFa hia lahnra in tho erpari. mental line that night after night and all night long, lights could be perceived from the street steadily burning in the labratory. This fact awakened suspicion in police officer employed upon night duty in the Novi Perenlok, and, at bis suggestion, domiciliary visit was paid to the Grand Dukes protege, who was found busily engaged in the preparation of explosive materials. The discovery, fortunately for the Grand Duke, whose consternation may be imagined when it was imparted to him, took place only a few weeks before the Cars murder.

Texan Stage Robbsr. outw,t.ed.
Corpus Christ Tex. Free Press.


 Col. L. Caldwell reports that when it was known that robbers had stopped the coach money and valuables changed positions. Judge Leisering showed his fine watch and chain into his boot; Capt. Millet jerked off his watch and chain and threw them into the brush, and then he cut slit with his pen~knife in the lining of the coach and put $600 in greenbscks out of the way, all being done before the robbers could get the passeng- CTS out of the stage. Capt. Millet wore a fine diamond pin up near his collar but ton. which, wearing heavy beard and holding his head down, the thieves failed to discover. The robbers abused and cursed the passengers for being so poor and penniless, and kept them standing with hands up for two hours. Col. Caldwell says the robbers obtained but few dollars from the passengers.

Mules Fed on Moss.

 An item in the Greensboro Beacon Of last week reminds us of a conversatiDp we had recently with several of cur planting friends. in which they all stated that they had for some time been feeding to their stsek the grey moss whic oh is 70 abundant on our forest trees. The general impression is that there is very little nutrlment in this moss; be that as it may, mules will leave fodder or any kind of hay to eat tho moss. The idea is not altogether new to us. While in Texas few years ago we saw cattl. subsisting for weeks upon this moss alone, and they were in good condition at the end of that time. Mules, at this season of the year especially, require something rough, and in the absence of anything better. our farmers should try the mOsa

The Grand Pacific Hotel, corner of Seventh and Poplar streets, St. Louis, Mo, continues to add to it's hosts of friends. The steady patronage is the natural result of good accommodations and also civility on the part of the attaches of the house, and the liberal spirit of the worthy man sger, Col. Robertson.

 TOR THE CURE OF Fever C. Ague CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it superiority over all reme- dies ever offered 10 the public for the SAFE, GER TAIN and PERMA NEWT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing He refers 10 the entire West ern and Southern couAtry to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in.no case whatever will 1t fal to cure If the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for cure, and whole families have been cured by single bottle with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent and in every case more certain to cure if it's use is con- bnued in smaller doses for week or two after thc disease has been checked, more especially in dificult and long-standing cases, Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient how ever, require q cathartlc medicine, after having taken taree or four doses Of the Tonic, single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient
