Salt.

The American Salt Mine
Company continue to enlarge
their operations. Their ship
ment by rail is now about 300
tons daily and probably fifty by
water coastWise. The mine is
run day and night. The great
purity Of the salt being 81 liz
per cent of pure saline matter,
secures forit the preferenceover
all other varieties used for
preserving meat. We learn
that there has lately been some
caving in the mine, and about
$1,000 worth of heavy lumber
has been purchased to make
things secure. There is as yet
nothing more than conjecture as
to the extent to which the salt
product will reach in the future

How to Bun a Town.

An exchange, in discussing
the question Of building up q
town and having confidence in
the same, Isl not far wrong ID
the following
Either run a town with vim
or just sell ont and leave it.
Men who are all the time trying
to get out of business or out Of
town will never try to build up
either. One or two things must
be done-run the town for all
1t is worth. get up steam, and
keep it up, or quit the whole
thing, slide out and let nature
take its course. Do you want
trade? Bid for it, Do you want
business TO come to your town ?
Encourage those who do come.
Do you want a prosperous town,
where people can come who are
disposed to make homes /? Then
do away, bury from sight, all
jealousness, all spite work /;
work no more for a few individ-
uals, but all work together for a
common prosperity and mutual
benefit. Wake up, rub your
eyes, roll up your sleeves and go
to work. Don't work with fear
aud trembling, bat take it for
granted that blood will tell.
Leave results with themselves
borrow no trouble, but all unite.
to make it the biggest kind Of a
city.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The
arrest offfty persons in Calca.
sieu parish for cutting timber on
public lands inaugurates a care
fully considered policy of both
inc Interior Department and the
Department OF Justice, and it is
to be prosecuted to the utmost
extremity. The authorities here
are advised that 1t is likely to be
far-reaching in its effects in
Louisiana, Texas and elsewhere,
but, regardless Of consequences,
there lis to be no turning. The
new agents of the Land Office,
appointed By Commissioners
Sparks, have made some start
ling discoveries, and the old
agents, who are still retained in
their places, are working with
increased zeal TO assist in ascer-
tanning, if possible, the full ex-
tent of the timber depredations
committed throughout the coun-
try. Some sensational develop
n1ents in official as well sas in
private circles are promised.

ment of Justice TO The Times

the Attorney General has adj

for immediate, courageous and

VOLCANIC Eruptlon At Tonga.

A volcanic eruption Of great magni-
tude has occurred on the island Of NJ
iafu, one Of the Tonga group Three parts
Of the island have disappeared, and a
new mountain 200 feet high has been
thrown up. So far as Is known no lives
have been lost. Before the eruption a
terrific Thunderstorm burst over the
island, and the natives, greatly alarmed,
quilted their villages and assembled al
one end Of the island, which has not
been effected by the eruption. To this
Circumstance they owe their lives, for
had they remained in their villages the
probabilities are that they would all have
been killed. The greater portion Of the
island Is now covered with mud and
ashes, varying n depth from ? 70 20 feet.
II Is stated that the reflection Of the
eruption was seen at Keppels Island.
which Is fully 100 miles from Nuiafu.
The eruption was first noticed by those
on board the DEGREES, d French war YES
SCI, who, IN consequence Of the island
being enveloped In smoke and steam,
did not deem II prudent 10 land The
Suva was dispatched 70 the relief OF the
islanders by the TOngan Government.
The island has been the scene Of several
volcanic eruptions, the first Of which
there Is any record having occurred 20
years ago. Earthquakes were felt there
during the New Zealand eruptions.

The NEWS

The European news to hand by way
Of New Zealand breaks of at q critical
point in Bulgarian affairs. 1t appears
that General KaUlbars, the Russian rep
resentative in the Principally, has been
melting rebellion among the troops and
populace but without success. The Re
geDcy Government at Sofia, however,
has Issued a protest to the Powers against
his conduct. Russian troops are being
nassed At Odessa, and an overt act on
either side may precipitate war, The
British Government has announced It's
intention to support Austrian policy
among the Balkan States, while Germany
and Austria are also on terms Of friendly
accord. This should naturally give an as
s'1rance Of peace, but it by no means foi-
lows that Russia viii be deferred from
attempting the execution Of its purpose
by the attitude of these Powers. The
next mail from the Coast may bring the
intelligence that hostilities have com
menced through the occupation Of Bull
garian territory by Russian troops.
The Tory programme Of domestic legis-
lation covers pretty fully all points ex-
cept Irish Home Rule. This is not TO be
touched by the Government On the
other hand Mr.. Gladstone, when accept
ing the freedom Of the city Of Cork,
stated that he kept in politics solely to
ccomplisk Home Rule for Ireland.
This would be the crown and glory Of his
political career.
The Prince Of Wales has displayed
great business capacity and statesman

Exhibition, inaugurated and presided

success; and now he has proposed that

the Heir Apparent, which should serve
as a perpetual remembrance Of that
suspicious event, and as a means for St
