An Incident of Travel.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The steamer on a
long voyage is the only place where real
acquaintance is possible, and even there it is
sometimes undesirable. | am reminded Of
a dignified, well educated woman of mid
die age-she was from Boston-who was
among the passengers on trip across the
sea. For the first two or three days she
was engaged mainly in rearranging her
system to suit the sea. Then it was pleas
ant weather and we all became we'll ac-
quainted. Among the passengers was a
dignifed clergyman who fell to talking
with this lady.
They proved to be mutually agreeable,
and the first conversation led to a second
and to many others. They walked up and
down the deck together, took evening
luncheons together, chatted in the parlor,
and in general seemed so much absorbed in
each other that the other passengers began
tomake jocose remarks. AS the voyage drew
to an end the clergyman seemed to be nerv-
Gus. 1t was evident that he was trying to
shake" his new acquaintance, but it was
of no avail, and presentlyit became known
that she had modified her route to some
extent so that she might be his fellow trav-
eler over at least a part of Europe.
1t was an awkward situation, but the
clergyman was equal 10 the emergency.
He gave it out that something had occurred
to him suddenly that made it advisable for
him to change his plans. He must get off
at Moville the little town where passen-
gers for Ireland are landed on the north
ern route; and when the boat steamed
into Loeb Foyle, while other passengers
were greedily taking in their first sight of
land, the clergyman locked himself in

A JAPANESE VOLCANO.

A recent number of the Japan weekly
Mail contains a short account of a night
ascent of the active volcano Asamayama.
The party left Karnisawa in the after
noon, and commenced the ascent from
the eastern side about sunset. The sky
was perfectly clear, and the summit was
reached an hour before midnight. The
wind, blowing from the south, carried
the sulphurous vapor away to the north
ward, and thus the ascent was made less
uncomfortable. The party saw quite to
the bottom of the crater, which present.
ed the appearance of furnace filled with
glowing Goals. The sound of the roar
ing, Kissing and bubbling is described as
loud and awful. The walls of crater are
of a light brown color, and are composed
of. successive layers, marked out with
striking regularity, like the seats in an
amphitheatre. Allowing ten of these
layers to each interval of 20 feet, the
depth from the surface to the incandes-
cent matter would appear to be POO feet.
The periphery of the crater is about a
mile.

Patti's Care of Herself.

Adalini Patti takes the best possible care
of herself-retires early, eats lightly, never
drinks tea or coffee, and no stimulants, for
she contends that wines and liquors injure
the voice. She takes out of door exercise
in sufficient quantity, but never allows her.
self to become exhausted. When she walks
a carriage is always near her, which she en-
tiers directly she feels the slightest fatigue.

question in these words: Hiram P.

this agency to be the very wise and

this work, hut the right thinking cit

meagre outlay that will return an

Garrett and Allegany counties and to
the State itself. The County Com
