The Island Of Ischia.

Ischia, known to the ancients as
Pithecusa and Hnaria, is an island of
Italy situated at the north entrance to
the bay of Naples. Its circumference is
nineteen miles and its area twenty-six.
The extinct volcano Monte Epomeo rises
to height of 1900 feet nearly in the
center of the island, and the whole
surface slopes from the summit to the
sea. In 1902 a formidable eruption of
Monte Epomeo desolated the island at a
time wnen Vesuvius was quiet, but since
that date Ischia' S verdure has never been
destroyed. The soil is very fertile, and
produces rich harvests of corn, figs,
grapes, olives, and mulberries, while
groves of oak and chestnut trees and
thickets of myrtle and arbutus skirt the
mountain sides and line the roads. Iron
and sulphur are found in various parts
of the island, and the manufacture of
bricks, tiles, and pottery is carried on to
some extent.
But the great source of wealth are
the thermal springs, which are con-
sidered the best in Europe. Casamicciola
is the headquarters of the water, hot air
and sand baths, but Lacco is also popu-
lar in the season, which lasts nominallY
from June till September, but such is
the fame of the island for it's salubrity
and beauty that a stream of visitors is
allured to the place all the year through.
From the most ancient times the baths of
the island have been famous, and it has
been said, if a disease be durable, the
water of some one of the springs there
will effect a radical restoration. The
people are chiefly engaged in tilling the
soil and fishing. The chief town, Ischia,
containing $500 inhabitants, is the seat
of the bishop, and contains an old castle
dating from the fifteenth century. The
other towns are Fario, 6, 100, Casamic-
cola, Lacco, Panza, and MorOpano.
This portion of Europe has frequently
suffered from terrible earthquake shocks
eruptiOns of lava, showers of ashes, and
rising and sinkings of earth. Islands
and capes have appeared and disap-
peared with each succeeding CONFUSION
of nature, but such is the happy-go-luck
nature of the people that they never suf-
fer much anticipation or retrospection
so long as the wants of the day are sup
piled. The numbers slain will soon be
replaced by others, as ever since the
Greeks first settled the place it has not
lacked population. Their rude and
simple methods of agriculture require
but little capital, the fishers stock will
soon be replaced, and in a few years all
traces of the ruin will be swept away or
covered by the luxuriant growth of vege-
tation which in that climate soon covers
everything with its mantle of living

us by her affectation OF ignorance, had
free access to all our letters, papers and
correspondence. She had placed, or
caused to be placed, wire from her
room to our family sitting-rOom, and by
that means could put herself IN posses
sion of all our private conversation.
This was long before the introduction
of the telephone to the world, but the
principles had been used by that so
ciety for years. The detective, Mr..
jerks, said that the discovery of one
end of the wire, from which the receiver
had been evidently suddenly removed,
was the clue he found. He had known
OF that society having used wires in that
way before. l was very seldom IN
Janet's room, and we suppose that
some Of her belongings were used to
conceal the arrangement. The other
end of the wire in the sitting-rOom was
adjusted in ventilating lue out of I'M
mediate sight. The man who accom-
panied Mr.. jerks belonged to the so
cicty, but had been induced to betray
its secrets up to a certain limit for a
consideration. Why they needed a spy
in our family, or what benefit they de-
rived from it, the man did not know or
would not tell, and we have never since
ascertained. He said there were hun
dreds of spies in every large city at the
bidding of the society. We could learn
nothing from him of the name and ma
ture of the objects Of the association.
He would answer no questions which
did not bear directly on the disappear
ance of our old servant. Charles in
quired where Janet was now, and after
some hesitation the man said she was
sent to London and placed in the house
hold of a nobleman. just as he was
leaving he seemed to be touched by
my evident sorrow, and Volun-
teered the information that
Janet was greatly distressed
at being obliged to leave US, and had
besOught in vain to be spared the ne
cessity, but she was altogether too use
full tool to be left at any place one
moment longer than the demands of the
society required.
The man evidently knew all about the
whole affair, and we were compelled to
believe his story by the proofs that he
gave. We have never seen him since,
nor do we know his name nor his place
of residence. And we do not even know
whether Mrs. Baker was in the plot.
She had left the city some time before
the de7aOuenle71t
A few years later, while travelling in
England, we saw Janet for one instant
in carriage as it whirled past our own.
Swift as was the recognition I saw that
it was mutual, and though experienced
a pang of sorrow, was glad to notice
that she looked conscience-stricken
Recent public events have given name
and shape to our theories of the case,
and 1 give it for what it is worth in the

The silver City Dance.

The dance given in Silver City last
Wednesday evening at Miners Union
Hall proved to be the gsyest hop Of
the season. Prof. Cara furnished
the music, and that is enough to say,
for every one knows that Csra's band
is the best music that can be had.
The Hall was very neatly decorated
with evergreens, aud numerous bird
cages hung around, while the little
occupants warbled swsetly and tried
to keep time with the music. Many
attended from outside towns, Virgin-
ia, Gold Hill, Dayton, Sutro, Empire
and the Mound House being we'll
represented. 1t was estimated that
not less than forty couples were there
and all declared themselves delighted
at the success of the affair. At IL
O'Clock supper was served; and such
supper-well, we won't say any
thing about 1t. However the merry
dancers went back to the Hall and
danced off the effects, and about 8
o'clock all were willing to admit that
they had had enough for one time,
and that taking it all into considera-
ton it WAS one of the most enjoyable
occasions had in Silver for some
