Orator Henley, meeting a friend at a cofee-house, the following dialogue ensued; "Pray," said Henley, "What has become of our old friend, Smith? have not seen him for several years" 'I really don't know" was the reply. "The last time heard of him, he was at Ceylon, or some of our other settle ments in the West Indies." "At Ceylon or some of our other settlements in the West Indies," exclaimed the orator, with some surprise. "My good sir, in one sentence there are two mistakes. Ceylon is not one of our settlements; it belongs to the Dutch, and it is situated not in the West, but the East Indiesw "That I deny :" said the gentleman, with some heat "More shame for youw said Henley 'I will engage to bring a boy of eight years of age who will confute you" "Well," rejoined the friend in cool CT tone of voice, "be it where it will, thank God I know very little about these sort of things :" "Whatl you thank God for your ignorance, do your" "I do, sir," answered the gentleman, in a violent rage "what then ?' "Sir, you have great deal to be thankful for" was Henley's sar- castle reply.

vEsUvIUs IN ERUPTION.

NAPLES, January l5, 1884.
 Vesuvius seems to have entered upon new phase of eruption. For many months the lava on the southeastern slope of the mountain has been flowing down the jagged sides, presenting a most splendid sight at night to those coming from Saleno and La Cava by rail, or to those who awaited the last train from Pompeii, But on the morn ing of the 0th--that is, last Wednesday morning-Nesuvius, which for several days previous had been manifesting great signs of uneasiness, showed his teeth in new quarter, and that, too, on the side of the mountain where the eruption in clear weather can be seen from the city of Naples. The local pa pers have given short notices of it, but the fullest and most satisfactory ac- count which l have seen is from Dr. Johnston Lavis' pen in the Hdlie, published at Rome, I may promise that Dr. Lavis ranks among the very first vulcanologists. Dr. Lavis says in his communication that the volcano "seems to have entered upon a period of stronger activity on the 9th. At l A. N., the lava burst forth upon the N. w. side of the cone and traversed the Atrio mel Cavallo. Those who had the good fortune to look at the moun- tain at about 2.30 A. NJ. describe the sight as something truly splendid. The maximum of the explosive violence manifested itself about IDA. M. Ipassed the whole of the afternoon and night between the observatory and the cur rent of the lava, but my action was i'm peded by the dense clouds which hov- cred over the Tountain and which him dered both our movements and our sight" When, however, the mountain became clear, as it did afterwards, the spectacle of the central cone at night was very imposing. On Saturday at midnight l saw the burning pumice stone shoot high into the air and the brilliant reflection of the molten lava within the cone was so great upon the lofty clouds above that they seemed one sheet of fire. At any time we have this latter sight and any day the eruption of the northwestern side may be renewed. Professor Palmieri prophecies a great eruption.

CANADIAN AND AMERICAN BEAUTY

A good deal is being said at present about the comparative beauty of Eng land and American women. Lord Coleridge, it seems, according to an interview in the New York World, gives the palm for both beauty and in telligence to the Americans. Sir Lepel Griffin, on the other hand, is strongly in favor of the English and Canadians, and in this connection mentions Toron- to ladies as very generally noticeable for good looks and fresh, healthy com p;exion. Sir Lepel is inclined to at tribute a great deal of this superiority which he assigns to the English and Canadian sisterhood partly to climatic influences, and still more to the habits of everyday life generally prevalent. He says that English and Canadian ladies take far more outdoor exercise in great variety of specified ways, do a great deal more walking and busy them- selves more in the activities of benevo- lent and religious exercises.
 There is great deal of truth in all this. Persons shut up for the most part of long, cold winter in hot and comparatively ill-ventilated houses, with scarcely anything but what, as in mockery, is called "carriage exer- cise," must soon have bleached and delicate appearance, which passes speedily from the attractiveness of youth to something anything but at tractive. In trying to help others, many ladies, in short, are themselves helped to better health, better spirits and better looks.

DANIEL BoONE's WHISKY.

When Daniel Boone and his party were surveying the "dark and bloody ground" they heard the Indians, and as they were on the war-path, they began to devise some means to escape death. They had made two chops on tree for line. Daniel had quart of whisky and he said: "We must do something with the whisky, or the Indians may catch us and get drunk and kill us all. i"
 The last tree that was chopped had a hollow near a fork, and Daniel Boone put the quart of whisky in the hollow. Forty years had passed, and the ques-

"I notice," said a gentleman from Boston, addressing an Arkansaw man, l, "that the people in this country show a great respect foi culture although they make no pretentions to learning.

 "About twenty-five years, sar," re- piled the respectful fellow. "Do you like it down here?" "Yes, very well, sar." "Don't you see?" said the Boston gentleman, turning again to the Arkan- say man.
 Just then the respectful fellows dog jumped over fence and started after a sheep.
 "Come here, sar," yelled the respect ful fellow "Got no more sense than to run after a sheep, sar? Pve great mind to shoot your head off, sar."

Mccarthy went away, but the next morning he came back to the judge and told the same story about the "wather" and the "hins," when the judge said "I told you to go to the board of public works and tell your story" "And I did," said Mccarthy "And what did they say" asked the judge. Mccarthy looked indignant and said, "The man axed me, Mccarthy, says he, Why the divil don't you kape ducks.'"

A BAY WINDOW DECoRATIoN.-A novel decoration is a wheelbarrow, or dinary gardeners size. Fill it with flower pots containing flowers, hiding the pots with green moss. Round the edges fix wooden trough, and in this and all along plant hanging creepers and lycopodium, also some ivy, and let this latter fall over the wheel. After the flowers are arranged gild the barrow on the outside. It is best to get the dry gliding powder, two packages of bronze and four of the yellow gilt packages, with liquid that comes for mixing with it. Use flat camel's hail brush an inch wide. When the gilt is thoroughly dry, varnish the surface with white varnish, and it will retain it's brightness. Stand on a bright red rug or mat.

To an interpreter who happened to be standing by, the Indian, a Brule Sioux, remarked that he had ridden a good way that day and his pony was tired. The Adjutant noticed that the Hall letter was dated that morning, and his interest being aroused, asked the messenger when he left his post. He replied that he started just after First Sergeants' call (after day break). Subsequent investigation proved his truth. He had ridden that sorry nag 104 miles in less than thirteen hours, and much of the way the road would have been hard on a bird. 1 tell you, we treated that mangy-looking brute as if he had the bluest blood of all the barbs in his veins.-[ Pioneer Press.
