In the morning they retraced their way
and got back OH the stage route. The second
night they reached tho "Mountain Sta
tion," cave in the side of the mountain,
in charge of villainous looking ranch
maj. and while they slept on a bed of
boug CHS the fall Of one of their blankets
into the fire and its burning gave zest to
their lodging experience. The next day
they drove across the lava bed, a black
deposit, extending like 4 river from the
crater Of an extinct volcano, about 500 feet
above the plain. The deposit of what was
once a molten mass runs some IS miles
across the plain, winding and widening,
lilk, 4 stream Of water, and milo and
half wide at tho narrowest place. The
deposit looks like rough, black cinder, burst
into fragments, and some places piled up
100 feet high. Tho depth of the mass is
not ascertained, bnt there are
fssures in it so deep that stones
thrown down the chasm, bounding
from side to side, cannot DO heard strike
the bottom. The road across it is marked
with monuments" set up at every seven
PAGES, SO that it can be defined on a dark
night. At ono place there is a tunnel
formed in the lava bed, 600 or 700 feet long
and feet high, admitting of the passage
of full grown man and easily seen
through from end to end.
On the way the travellers encountered
herds of antelopes and fired all their am
at one herd half mile long and.
in the atmosphere of that region, appar-
emily only few hundred yards distant
but never hit an animal. They may have
been further away than they seemed at
any rate tho huntsmen explained their bad
by discovering that some
time before they had "raised" tho sights
on their Winchester rifles and forgot to |
lower them before shooting for half hour !
over tho heads of tho antelopcs. Some |
bear were encountered in the mountains |
and plenty of wild turkey and pheasant /; ]
but the most dangerous animal met was |!

A MARVELLOUS FEAT.

The publication of the details of the
battle at Spitzkop between the Beers and
the English was one of the most marvellous
feats OF newspaper and telegraph enter
prise ever known. The London Standard
sent Mr.. Cameron, the hardy, resolute,
fearless African explorer, with the British
advance to report it's operations. He &C
companied it in its difficult march to the
summit of the fatal hight. When the
Beers made that gallant charge in the face
of the English bayonets, about which they
brag so much, and poured over into the
basin from which they drove the English
like sheep, Mr.. Cameron was knocked
down, run over, trampled upon and cap
tured. He showed his ne Wspaper creden-
tial and note. book, and, having established
his professional identity, was requested to
act as flag of truce bearer to enable the
English to take care of their wounded lie

THE DAILY RECORD-UNI0N.
I WANT.

] want don't know what l want I'm tired Of
everything;
I'd like to be a queen or somethihg-Iie, bearded
king
With iron crown and wolfsh ewes, and manners
fierce and bold
Or else plumed highwayman or paladin of old.
We girls are such poor creatures slaves of circum-
stance and fate;
Denied the warriors glory and conquerors splendid
state;
And, puss, you are so mortal slow, wish you could
be changed
Into catamount, with tastes quite violent and
deranged.
I'd like an earthquake, that l w6uld-oh, puss, I'll
tell you what,
Some planets have two suns and different coors,
too, at that;
Now there would be variety; two mornings every
day
One green or brown, for instance, and the other
crimson, say.
What splendid lights, what curious shades, what
transformation scenes;
What queer surprises, puss-iust think, what lovely
pinks and greens
How funny Gus would look He is so poky and so
flat.
But such compilations After all, 1 shouldn't fancy
that.
III never marry Gus, of that I'm very at least
I'd sooner be bandits bride, united by priest.
Oh, there you are sir, No, indeed I'll not be
kissed at all
No, sir, I've changed my mind we won't be married
in the fall.
Now do be still. I've changed my mind. My priv
lege, believe
Oh, horriblel What's this A daddy -longlegs on
my sleeve
Oh, Gus, come quick I'm deadly faint Do take
the thing away
Yes, yes, I'll promise anything I'll marry you to-
day !

THE HAIR OF PROMINENT MEN.

In this feature, writes the New York
correspondent of the Rochester Democrat,
n. P. Willis and Horace Greeley were en-
tirely dissimilar. Willis had long and
beautiful ringlets, of which he was very
proud, while, as is well known, Greeley
became bald early in life, the base Of the
head being merely fringed with gold. We
may note that many of our best writers or
public men were in a similar condition
Washington Irving wore a wig half his
lifetime. William Lloyd Garrison was
we'll known for his smooth pate. Wendell
Phillips has only few scattering silver
locks. Ralph Waldo Emerson keeps his
head cropped closely. Such, also, was the
practice of the late Charles Sumner.
it may be urged against long haired
men that not only Willis twho was rake)
was thus adorned, but also that the mag
mates of the Brooklyn scandal (Beecher
and Tilton) are also of the long-haired
class. Theodore Parker, on the other
hand, was bald, and so was John Quincy
Adams. The late Chief Justice Chase was
much in the same condition. Speaking OF
fashion it may be said that the ancient
Greeks wore hair long, while the Egyptians
cut it off, and wore light wigs. In France
at one time short hair was the style, and
in the reign of Louis Quatorze was worn OF
prodigious length, and was done up IN a
lofty manner. The hair fashion Of this
city, at present, deserves more space than
can Just now be afforded, Notwithstanding
the Importance of the theme.

ORIGIN OF AN OLD ADAGE.

The proverbial saying &c the gray mare is
the better horse, instead of being Flemish,
is more likely of British origin, and may
have taken its rise from the following cir
cumstance a gentleman having married
lady of considerable beauty and fortune,
but whose domineering temper and disre.
gard of marital authority on all occasions
made his home wretched, entreated her
father to take back his daughter, and her
dowery into the bargain. Pooh, pooh, !"
sai3-the old gentleman, ''you know not
the world. All women govern their hus-
bands, and it is easily proved. Harness
the five horses in my stable to a cart, in
which will place basket containing 100
eggs leave horse at every house where the
husband is master, and an egg only where the
wife governs. If you should find your eggs
gone before the horses, you will think your
case not so uncommon but II your horses
are disposed of first | will take my daugh-
ter home again and you may keep her for
tune" At the first house the son-in-law
came to he heard the wife, in a shrill and
angry voice, bid her husband answer the
door here he left an egg without inquiry.
He visited a. second and third house with
the same result. The eggs were nearly all
gone WNen ne arrived AT Cne SeaL OF gentle
man of position in the country. Having
asked for the master, who happened not to
be yet stirring, he was ushered into the
presence of the lady. Humbly apologizing
for the intrusion, he put the question of
obedience and on the lady replying she was
proud to obey her husband in all things, the
husband entered the room and confirmed
his wife's words, upon which he was re-
quested to choose which horse he liked. 4
black gelding struck his fancy, but the
lady desired he would choose the gray
mare, as more fit for side. saddle. Not
withstanding the substantial reasons why
the black horse would be more useful, the
wife persisted in her claim for the gray
mare. What = said she, 1" and you will
not take her, then ? But you shall, for
am sure the gray mare is much the better
horse" "'Well. well, my dear" replied
the husband, "just as you please, if it
must be so" cob" quoth the gentleman
carter, "you must now take an egg, and
must take all my horses back again. and
endeavor to live happily with my wife. -
