On Mount PopocatepctI.

"" nhouub bEOpOCHtepetl.
In an account of an ascent of this
monarch OF Mexican mountains, Miss
Hatch writes as follows: We hurried
as best we could to the crater. and did
see something in it worth our journey.
1t is considerably overi mile in cir
cumference, and from its simmeasurable
depth, and around its edges volumes
of smoke perpetually rise to its surface.
Scientific men have estimated that this
now extinct volcano has not been in
active operation for more than ten
thousand years, and yet on any clear
morning q small column of smoke may
be seen rising above the crater. The
sulphur mine was not in operation and
the miners were all absent. A mist
covered the valley, SO that we could
not catch a glimpse of the Pacific
Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. which
Teofilo had promised us. There was
only moments rift in the clouds,
when we beheld the snowy form of
Orizaba
Often we repeated to ourselves with
JOY as we gazed upon the world around
Us, seventeen thousand seven hun
dred feet above the great seas" and
wondered whether we should ever be
SO near heaven again. The soul itself
was wrapped in kind of celestial re-
pose in this vestibule of heaven, and /
never realized SO powerfully that child
ish fancy of heavens being above the
clouds. Oh, thou eternal aud majestic
witness OF the great intelligence that
fashioned thee and me, the sublimest
manifestation of his nature my eyes
ever beheld or that ever thrilled my
heart Powers and principalities shall
come and go, but thou shalt still abide,
the unchanging sentiment of that
beauteous valley of Anahuac, till time
shall be no more. How glorious must
be sunrise and sunset from that great
volcano! Early on the following morn
ing our horses appeared. The day
was glorious; our noble old volcano
stood radient in the early sunlight, and
the snowy crest of Orizaba, n half hum
dren leagues away, shOne gloriously
upon the horizon, contrasting effective
ly with the verdant valley lying be-
tween. Beautiful Mexico! how mani
fold it's charms! how exhaustless its
rare grandeur of scenery! We could
not say farewell to our kingly noun
tain; it was to us as venerable friend,
even though our feet should never
again press its snowy crown. Our
hearts were full of vivid and undying
memories that we felt must dwell with
IL till we started on our long pilgrim
age toward the mountain of light from
whence no traveller returns.

Mexico is seeking prominence in the

Mexico is seeking prominence in the
silk-manufacturing industry among
her other enterprises. The Mexican
Industrial society has been organized
to cultivate the mulberry tree, and to
promote the raising of silk-worms in
different localities. Twenty establish
mcnts for providing raw material are

An erratic freak of n bullet, it ic re-
ported, recently happened in Halletts-
ville, Tex. A son of f. j. Riggs shot
at rat with the pistol elevated toward
the roof of barn. The bullet struck
the joist, killed the rat, struck a knot,
glanced, and, passing at an angle of
almost 80 degrees, and downward,
struck Mr.. Riggs, who was walking
some fifty or sixty yards distant, on
the arm, just above the wrist, entering
some little depth and falling out.
At late meeting of the Elmirs, N.
Y, Farmers club, the opinion was ex-
pressed that bad results would always
be found with wheat sown on land in
to which the green growth OF any crop
had just been turned, although it was
believed that buckwheat was the worst
green manure. All green growth in
corporated with the soil pear the time
of seeding will in all cases be found
prejudicial to wheat.

The Story of a Bell,

The old bell of the old Trinity college has at last found resting ple,e over the dor
 nitory of the Episcopal Academy in Ches- hire. Some years ago the students in the college (then located where the capitol now is) turned the bell upside down one night and filled 1t with mixture of wet plas- ter of paris and nails The mass solidified and the professors also, for they decided not to have the bell cleaned out, the students were obliged to attend chapel and re,itations without the warning notes of the bell This was hardship the students had not thought of and many of them received so many marks of absence that they would gladly have paid to have the bell restored The faculty held out, and the old bell was never moro heard on Trinity grounds. It also has an additional ASstory, which Dr. s. J. Horton, of the Epis- copal Academy, has written, and it is pub lished in the Academy paper.
