Major, with suppressed horror in his voice of

evidence that the couple could be no other
than Miss De Lara and Mr.. Dunstan. The
other four couples, who had been deeply
engrossed in Their own affairs, and knew
as little about the manner they had missed

TO say that Mrs Roley was not angry

about her mouth that no anger could

Reduced Rates to National Encamp-
ment. via PennsXINnnia RailrOnh.

The National Soldiers Reunion and En-
campment will be held in Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia, from June % to July
g, 1885. The event will embrace an en-
campment of representative organizations
of the citizen soldiery of the Union, and
detachments of troops from the various
arms of the United States service. The
command will be in charge of military
committee composed of the most eminent
soldiers of the land and numbers of
prominent leaders of the late war will be
present as guests. The programme EN-
braces all the features of actual camp SER
vice, the most important of which is
series of competitive drills, in which the
crack military organizations of the sew
eral States will contend for valuable
prizes. There will also be parades, reviews
and other interesting military maneuvers.
The Fourth Of July will be a particularly
interesting day, and the ceremonies are eX-
pected to be witnessed by the President
and Cabinet, and other distinguished peo-
pie. The beauty of the camp ground and
its accessibility adds no little to the gen
eral interest in the affair.

THE LAVA PEAKS OF New MEXICO.-
The geological survey reports from north
western New Mexico multitude of needle
like peaks rising out of a broad valley bot
tom to the height Of over 1000 feet. They
are composed of black basaltic lava, having
beautiful columnar structure like the ba-
salt of the Giants Causeway. They are
remnants of lava which once rose up out of
the earth through the strata and congealed
in the volcanic pipes or vents.
In later periods the strata which enclosed
them have been dissolved away and remov-
ed by the general erosion of the country,
leaving these basaltic cones projecting many
hundreds of feet in the air, as casts of the
volcanic pipes or passages through which
the ancient towers rose to the surface. Those
which are just beginning to be disclosed in
the mesa walls still have remnants of the
old cinder cones upon their SUBMITS, while
from those which are wholly or in greatest
part excavated all traces of the cinder cones
have disappeared. Thus the veritable roots
of these ancient volcanoes are unearthed
and laid open to the inspection of the ge-

their abiding home. Some of them are
far away.
Occasionally one and another of them re-
visits the old homestead, but it is for only
brief tarry. Soon again farewell words
are spoken, and those who are bound to
each other by the dearest earthly ties part.
The parents, now old and gray-headed, fol-
low the departing ones with their kindest
benedictions and prayers, realizing from
time to time more and more sensibly the
uncertainties of earth and the doubtfulness
of renewed meetings. With fearful eyes at
the remembrance of months that are past, "
and of the days when their children were
about them," they hopefully anticipate the
more blessed time, when all, parents and
children, gone the way whence they shall
not return, shall meet and greet each other
in the heavenly home, where partings shall
be forever unknown, and where, in the pres,
ence of the great and good Father and OF
their elder Brother, they shall forever
abide.-NeW York Observer.

AFRICAN CURRENCY.-The African trav-
eler, Oskar Lorenz, found in the Sahara on
rocks rude engravings of the elephant and
rhinoceros, showing that these animals
must at one time have existed along with
men where all is now desert. At Timbuc-
too he remarked that it is not etiquette to
eat fish, although the river abounds with
them. At the same city the two rival in
digenous system of African currency come
into collision-salt and cowries. The his
tory of the cowre trade is very curious. To
remedy the scarcity of the native circula-
ting medium enormous importations have
been made from the Maldive Islands ard
Zanzibar. The exchange averages 1000
cOwricS to dollar.

A DECORATED GoBLET.-An interesting
homemade method of natural decoration
consists simply in taking glass or goblet,
and placing in the interior little common
salt water. In day or so a slight mist
will be seen upon the glass hourly this
will grow, until in a very short time the
glass will present a beautiful appearance,
the glass being enlarged to twice its thick
ness and covered with beautiful salt crys-
tails, packed upon one another exactly like
some peculiar fungus or animal growth. 1t
is necessary to place dish beneath the
glass, as the crystals run over if the term
can be used.
The glass can be made additionally beau
tiful by placing in the salt and water some
common red ink; this will be absorbed, as
it were, and the white surface covered with
a rich red coat, which in turn can be cover
ed by blue or any color by the introduction.

The designations Of Messrs. Eaton and
Gregory, of the Civil Service Commission,
which were handed to the Executive dur
ing the early part of October, 1885, left two
most important positions to be filled. The
designations Of the above mentioned gen.
tlemen were most appropriate, as it leaves
the new administration to appoint their
successors, and at the same time assume the
responsibility for their decisions. The name
most frequently mentioned to fill the place
left vacant by Dorman B. Eaton, is that of
Charles r. Goldman, of Boston, Massachu-
setts That he would fully meet the re-
quirements of the situation none presume to
doubt. His career has been unsullied and
he is held in the highes esteem in the city
of his residence. Speaking of the report
which was circulated that he had been ap-
pointed by the President, to the Civil Ser
vice Commission, Mr.. Goldman said, II
have had conversations with the Presl-
dent on the subject and have given him,
what / consider sufficient reasons why he
should not offer the position to me. The
President has not made me the offer and
probably never will make it," In spite
of this, however, it is generally cOnced-
ed that Goldman can have the office If
he wants it. There is perhaps no position
within the power Of Mr.. Cleveland to be-
stow that would be so unsatisfactory, to use
a mild term, to the appointee as this one.
The salary is small and the abuse which
the newspapers heap upon the incumbent
make his position anything but pleasant
one. There is q movement on foot, how
ever, to have the salary raised by Congress
in the next session, SO that it will be worth
while for citizen of the best class to fill the
post.
