pulsations, which assume the form
of separate fountains, one above The
other. The eruption is accompa
MED by subterranean tremors and
hoarse rumblings, which are calcu
lated to dismay the visitor, espe-
cially if they arouse him from sleep.
The Hot Springs are situated in
a small valley, 1000 feet from the
Gardiner river. On the terraces, at
various elevations, the water issues
from many vents, in pulsating
waves, which overflow the basins
and deposit thin corrugated layers
of the substance held in solution.
The deposit is moderately hard
while wet, but becomes quite soft
and friable as it dries. The slow
but ceaseless operation of the
springs has resulted in building up
terrace after terrace of scallop-
edged, limpid pools and basins OF
hot water of varied size, form and
temperature, = Frank Leslie's IL
lustrated.
Until Pulaski has built her water
works'it would be a good idea to
have a street sprinkler to be used
such dry weather as the past week.
Nothing would add more to the
comfort and health of our citigens
and the appearance of our town
than to have the streets we'll sprink-
led once OF twice a day, and it
would cost but very little to have it
done during such dry weather as it
has been. The merchants goods are
always dirty and everybody's eyes
and lungs are full of dust, and there
is hardly a man in town who
would not be willing TO pay the
light taxth at be would be necessary
to relieve him of the inconvenience
and bother and injury to property
and to health by the dust. The
square, at least, ought to be sprink-
led. One hand and a cart could do
the work at a cost to the town ofless
than two dollars a day, and the nee
essary apparatus--a tank and a
piece of hose-would cost q mere
trifie. Why can't it be done?
True the present season will soon
end, but we will have another next
summer. This question is worthy
of the consideration of our business
men and the city authorities.

A philosopher of the New York
Herald thus sums it all up: "Life
consists of cutting teeth in child
hood, of the pangs of unrequited
love in youth, of dyspepsia in man
hood, of fear of death in old age,
and an oppressive certainty that
the lawyers will contest your will
and pocket most of your money"

We see him oow-the old slOuched hat,

We see him oow-the old slouched hat,

So calm, so blunt, so true.

Says no. That's Banks he's fond of shell

But of all the poems Of the war,
produced on either side, nothing, in
our judgment, equaled the poem en-
titled Call ALL Call Alr' which
appeared early in the War in
the Rockingham (Virginia) Regis
ter. 1t breathes the fiery spirit
of war. 1t was not an appeal to
patriotic pride to fight for home
and fireside. 1t has the wildcat and
tiger spring in it, and we venture
that the hand that held the pen
that wrote it handled some one of
the Staying machines which it
suggests asa means of defense. 1t
is literally hot from the hell of bate.
Here it is:
"oALL ALI CALL ALLr'
By "Georgia.'
'Whoopl the Doodles have broken loose,
Roaring round like the very deueee
Lice Of Egypt, a hungry pack
After 'em, boys, and drive 'em back.
g Bulldog, terrier, cur a-d fee.
Back to the beggally ly land of ice;
Worry 'em, bite 'em, scratch and tear,-
Everybody and everywhere.
''Old Kentucky is caved from under,
Tennessee is split asunder,
Alabama awaits attack,
And Georgia bristles up her back.
''Old John Brown is dead and goneI
Still. his spirit is marching on
ed. and legs, my boys,
Long as an apes from lllinoisl
i' Want a wespons Gather brick,
Club or cudgel, or stone or stick;
Anything with blade or butt,
Any thing that can cle@ve or cut.
Anything heavy, or hard, OF keen!
Amy sort of Staying machinel
Anything with willing mind
And the steady arm of a man behind.
. Want weapsn? Why, capture one!
Every Doodle has got gun,
Belt and bayonet, bright and new;
Kill Doodle, and capture twol
shoulder TO shoulder, son and sire!
All, call ALL to the feast of frel
Mother and maiden, and child and slave,
A common triumph or q single grave"

"THE TURTLE. "

"Cesar, afloat with his fortunes,
And all the world agog,
Straining its eyes
At thing that lies
In the water, like a log.
It's weasel! q whalel
| see its tall
It's q porpoisel polywog
"Tsrnation! it's a turtlel
And blast my bones and skin,
My hearties, sink her,
Or else you'll think her
A regular terror-pin,
"The frigate poured q broadsidel
The bombs they whistIed well,
But-hit old Nick
With a sugar-stickl
They didn't phase her she'll
"Pif, from the creatures larbosrd
And dipping along the water
A bullet hissed
From 8 wreath of mist
Into a Doodle's quarter.
sRaff, from the creatures starboard-
Rip, from his ugly suorter,
And the Congress and
The Cumberland
Sunk, and nothing-shorter-
"Now, here's to you, Virginia,
Aud you are bound To win,
By your rate of bobbing round
And your way Of pitchin' in
For you are cross
Of the old sea-horse
And regular terror-pin.
The poet dfscreetly dropped the
subject there. 1t would not have
been so fattering to southern pride
to have told how Immediately after
the sinking of the old wooden war
ships ''the turtle" encountered a
cheese box and had its shell so
badly broken that it steamed into
Norfolk harbor and never after
made fighting demonstration.
Still later on in the war, and when
Stonewall Jackson's name had be-
come known the world over, ap-
peared a poem, it can not be called
a song, that was exceedingly popu-
lar; it was entitled "Stonewall Jack
sons Way" 1t is descriptively as
graphic as anything the war pro-
duced. Here is a passage from 1T:

We have frequent applications to
"go for" that storekeeper on the
square who allows loafers to squint
at lady passers; t ''go for" that
man who keeps a nuisance in his
back yard or a hog pen where the
stink rises thick as smoke; to "go
for the mayor and aldermen for
not fixing that hole or removing
that filth; to ''go for" the county
court for not doing this or doing
that; to ego for this man here and
that man there for various things.
The editor of the CITIZEN has these
applications every day he lives al
most, and yet when he does''go for'
anything or anybody these same
men do not take any interest in it
unless it is their case. 1t is not
our business to "go for people or
things just to avenge you. If there
is a public demand, a public inn
provement, a public outrage or mis-
take, it falls within the scope of a
papers criticism. We can with
propriety advocate water works,
pixies, ,ire-engines, ETC., condemn the
use Of sand for gravel, cry out
against hog-smell that "stinks to
heaven" about the old warehouse
behind the st. Giles, but when we
do these things Mr. Complainer
won't help us. Every man wants
his private grievance redressed and
will not help any one else redress
his nor take an interest in a public
reform. Don't every man in town
know that that sand being spread
on the public square is brazen
waste of public money? And yet
who objects? Don't every one know
that there is a crying need for bet
ter fire protection? And yet there
were three citizens at the board
meeting Thursday night. Don't
every Pulaskian know that there is
an absolute demand for a pike to
Campbellsville? And yet what man
has needed the urgent calls and
warnings we have made. Learn a
lesson here: Help others when
they need it so you may be in an at
titude to ask it when you need it..

A CARD OF THANKS.

As we are about to leave Port Town
send for the present, we desire to make
our very best bow, and cordially thank
the citizens for fayors shown; from many
of whom we have received tokens of kind
ness, and expressions of hearty good will,
which are as cheering to the heart of the
gospel itinerant, as the oasis to the
weary traveller on the sands OF the great
Sahara. While we did not for moment
contemplate making the change, or TAX
ing the step we have until the call came,
yet, coming under the circumstances,
and in the light which the great head
of the church has made it appear, we
dare not refuse to obey. As the great
apostle went bound to Jerusalem not
knowing what should befall him there;
SO go we to Port Gamble, yet with calm
and ever abiding trust in Him who has
said: sAll things shall work together for
for good to those who love God," We
bespeak for our successor, whoever he
may be, most cordial welcome, and
hope and pray that he may be the right
man in the right place, and that the
blessing of God may abundantly attend
his Iabors. Thanks to the ARGUS for
fayors. S. q. TODD.

Egyptian Explorations.

The Rev. William c. Winslow, of Bos-
ton, has written an interesting letter to
the Churchman of New York about the
work of the Egyptian Exploration Fund
Society of England Last winter this
society engaged in an important under
taking in the Delta, under the direction
OF NJ. Naville, the eminent EgyptoIogist
namely, the excavation of thei Biblical
city of Pithom, built by the Hebrews
during their servitude. This city has
been identified by the excavations as
the "store city" built for Pharaoh during
the oppression, and also as the city
which Is referred to as Succoth in the
Bible. Interesting hieroglyphics and
snn-dried bricks were found, some with,
others without, straw. The society pro-
poses during the present winter, if funds
are forthcoming,to to excavate San the z pan
of the; Bible, and the Tanis OF the Greeks.
That is where the Pharaoh lived who
was the friend Of JOSEPH and is there
fore the place in which to look for doc
uments bearing on the history of the
Hebrews during their long soiourn in
Egypt. 1t is likely that Hebrew monu-
ments and sepulchres will be found in
San. There also lies buried in the lost
history of the Shepherd Kings. In fact
no other site in Egypt, or in the whole
east. is known to be 80 rich in buried
monuments, numbers Of which Just show
themselves on the surface ofthe mounds.
And vet. it has been scarcely touched by
the spade of the explorer. Americans
who are interested in these excavations
are invited to contribute to tho fund.
