for a considerable sum, added an
Arcade with thirty baths and connected
the gardens with the public park. The
house, with all its dependencies, now
belongs to the German Government. Ii
has been leased for the last forty-five
years to the Becker family and is at pres
ent under the superintendent of the
widow of the last manager and her two
charming daughters. The house has an
air of quiet elegance and refinement, well
befitting a mansion which has sheltered
those who have attained the height of
human ambition, and also, alas have
sounded the depths of human misery.
AS for the brave old soldier who, in
his zeal for justice was forgetful of
mercy, that diviner attribute of his
Maker, let us hope that his shining re-
pentence has atoned for his faults, and
that no ghostly train disturbs his ashes

"On his crowned bier to slumber, warriors bore
And with true hearts, his brethren of the

Tho stingy Young Man.

Iwould 90 across muddy street OF

the person who stands Mt the head Of
this paragraph, and when Ihad shaken

him for his Autograph or a lock of hi,
hair. And GEcreforeP Because, to be
"stingy young man. means in popu-
lar parlanCe young man who has the
moral courage to spend his money his
own way. 1t means that because he
happens to DO in 4 crowd of addle-
pated greenhorns who are throwing
away their earnings in a manner that
does not bring return to them or any
one else he refuses to "chip i'm 1t
means that he doesn't have a monthly
whisky livery, theatre, florist, or con-
fectionery bill in excess of his monthly
earnings. 1t means that he doesn't
rob his employers, or. if he is bank
cashier, rob his bank to minister to his
illicit pleasures. 1t means that his tailor
bill is paid promptly, ditto his board
bill; that if he has a mother or a sister
not too wei of he can afford them
an occasional generous gift. 1t means
that while every designing girl of his
acquaintance is not recipient at his
hands of costly flowers and confection-
cry, the girl he likes best has plenty Of
both and both are paid for. This turn
of reproaCh means also that while his
generous colleague is talking slush
about the extravaganza Of girls and
the impossiblity Of supporting such
creatures, that he, our "stingy young

Miss Alcott's Books.

In 1S6S-twcnty years ago-Roberts
Brothers, OF Boston, became Miss Al
colts publishers; and it was 1.-THE sug-
gcstion of Mr.. Niles. of this firm, that
she wrote Little Women "a story
founded on the home life Of herself
and her sisters. The first part of this
story was published in the October Of
1866, aud was cordially received; but
it was not until the issue of the second
part, in the April of 1869 that tho
world went wild about it, and all in a
moment, rs it seemed, Miss Alcott be-
came famous. Since then she has
known nothing but success; and now,
tho summons Of ;ho King has called her

Little Women took such hold upon
the world, that when Little Mem was
issued its publication had to be delayed

A lump Of ashes of pinkish hue and
weighing about half a pound was dug
up a few days ago in an Indian pot
from the garden of Ed Jackson, who
lives three miles from Greensboro, Ga.
The ashes are tolerable well cemented
together, but win crumblc when rough
ly handled. Mr.. jackson has dug up
several Indian earthenware vases in his
garden, but hitherto all of them were
so mutilated that their contents were
undiscernible.

seems to have deepened the mysterious

is to be tried. AS an initial move to
the latter, they are thrusting dead
trees into the opening. which in turn
are to DO covered by a layer of dirt,
then more trees added, followed again
by dirt, by which time it is expected
the surface will almost have been
reached and a good foundation secured.

An Extinct Texas Volcano.

A letter from Bracket, Kinney
county, Tex, to the St Louis Globe
Democrat, SAYS: A visit to the crater
of an extinct volcano is something OF q
novelty in the state of Texas, but an
exploring party had that pleasure a
few DAYS since. Leaving the town of
Bracket about $3.50 o'clock in the
morning, they drove over n fairly good
road to the Manposa ranch, and thence
up the Pinto creek toward Pinto, or
painted" mountain, which is the
volcano, or what was an active volcano
years ago. There is not mueh of q
road after leaving the creek, but no
difficulty is found in pushing through
toward the mountains which looms up
in full view. Along the course Of the
creek there are some noble forest trees,
consisting Of live oak blackberry,
pecan, and black walnut The plain
between the creek and mountain is
covered with a dense grove Of thorny
bushes, and among them great quanti-
ties of cactus stand up in every direc-
ton. Near the foot of the mountain
rocks are piled up in great confusion,
and huge masses Of scori9 or black
cinlers block the way. Only q short
distance up the sides could the carriage
be taken, as the way was too rough
and the horses were considerably
faded by their exertions.
The north and south sides of the crater
are filled high up with walls Of rough
stones, as naked now as they were ages
ago. The east side of the crater has
been blown off bodily and the stones
thrown miles away. The distance
across the crater is probably over a
thousand yards, and az years have
passed since it was active, the crater it
self has become some filled up, though
the place whence issued fire and lava
is as distinctly marked as if the
eruption occurred butt yesterday. Black
rocks, huge in their proportions, lie in
detached masses on the sides of the
crater, showing what mighty power
must have been exerted when the
flames issued from the heart Of the
mountain. Altogether it is an inn
mense affair, and well worth the visit
of the student OF nature.
This volcano belongs essentially to the
Mexican group, and was noticed many
years ago by Humboldt. The route
going and returning looks across many

OF the present limited number Of
high stations for making meteorologic-

in Europe which exceed 5000 metres
in height, being about 10000 and H.
900 feet, respectively. Among those
in this country is Pixies Peak, which
has an altitude of IA, 100 feet exceed
ing by more than 5000 feet, any in
Europe. These great heights are much
more accessible on this continent than
in Europe, there being five in America
where II 900 feet or more isreached by
railroads built for facilitating mining
work; the highest of these in North
America is Mount lincoln. in ColorN-
