Camped on a Yolennn-

A special dispatch from the CITY of
Mexico states that William B. Richard.
son, the young Boston naturalist, has fin.
lshed his work in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, and on the active volcano of
Colima, where he has been camped for
the last two months. From the extreme
summit of the Sierra Nevada he could
look down into the crater of the volcano
There were every five hours or more
signs of activity, great clouds of vapor.
gas and ashes coming up with magnifi.
cent effect and rising to tremendous
height. But from the Sierra Nevada no
sound could be heard.
Richardson, being determined TO in
vestigate nearer at hand, moved his camp
to the side of the volcano at great per
sonal risk, pitching his tent at the upper
line Of pine trees and Just below the
lower lines of ashes and lava. From this
point Richardson and his Indian follow
ers could hear the sounds of the volcano.
One night during the eruption thev
could distinctly see the deep red glow of
molten lava as it ran down the mountain.
Richardson was regarded by the natives
as phenomenally daring, but his expe.
dltlon resulted in no harm to himself or
to his party.-Boston Cor. New York

The DYING HORSE.

Fan back! Fall back Give him room to diel
Hard is the bed where he needs must lie
For his toilsome life this is the end!
Has he ne maSter-no loving friend?
Is it here the old horse must welcome death
where gaping crowd watches every breath
Under the midsummer's scorching sum-
Is this his reward for work well done?
How his limbs shudder! How his eyes ronI
Seek they at last for plying soul?
Or only for quiet-quiet TO die
In some lonely valley green, where brook CUR

Mhere cattle at MONDAY stand deep in the pool

cherished while work brought his owner gain,
To strangers left in this hour of pain;
Deserted now that his task is over;
NOT Tor his old days are the fields Of clover,
Not for him will the field lark sing.
Not for him the lush grasses spring;
Nor to him will liberty come,
In his tired old age, in some country home.
Here he must suffer-here he must die
Under the midsummer's scorching sky.
Him the broad shade tree will never WOO:
He has known but the pavement his whole life
through
Stlll we in our vaunted pride of soul
conceive no future no restful goal,
NO ethereal pasture in regions blest
Where the poor old horse may in spirit rest

We Live Longer.

The average length of life is greater
and the standard of bodily health higher
than ever before, and if it were not that
medical and sanitary skill now preserves
for life of imperfect health many weak
persons, who in former times would have
succumbed To the first attack of disease.
the standard would be even higher. In
the works of old writers there are many
passages which show that a man was
considered old and past his prime at 40,
while now at that age one is in the very
height of his powers There may be
more diseases now than formerly; but
there is less disease, and vastly greater
knowledge of how to avoid il, or, when
attacked, to bring it TO a favorable ter
minatiOn. Halls Journal OF Health.

How IT Be- Ga" CURED

DO -
By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scroi-
ulOuss sore neck from the time she was 22months
old till she became six years of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one of them after
growing to the size of a pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be healthy

SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which deVelopes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
eerous grOwths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed to "humOrs;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, 1t is the
most general Of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

FIRES SUNDAY.

BURRowEs's SCREEN FACTORY DAMAGED.
The alarm of fire from box Just at noon
yesterday, was for blaze in the rear of L.
I. Burrowes's screen factory on Spring
street. The fire took in an open shed in the
rear, and burned through, by means of
shaving chute into the cellar. The depart
ment experienced some difficulty in reaching
the fire, owing to the high fences that sur.
round the buildings, but once inside made
short work of the blaze.
AN EXCITING FIRE ON CROSS STREET
AT 6.52 last night, while the church bells
were ringing, an alarm of fire was given
from box 412, for blaze in the stable No. so
Cross street, owned by Daniel T. Kelley and
occupied by T. S. Flaherty as stable. The
fire started in the upper story, and was
quickly communicated to the hay. Mr..
James McGovern, who pulled the alarm, said
there was puff of smoke and then the whole
building was in blaze. Citizens broke into
the stable and rescued the horse and wagon.
When the department arrived it seemed as if
the machine shop next below was doomed !;
but quick work saved 1t, and the damage to
the stable was small. The only damage to
Mr.. Flaherty's property was such as arose
from its hasty removal.
