the report the good doctor FASTENED to
deny it and in doing so declared that Il

It is very clear that the western rep
resentatives in congress understand and
are in full sympathy with their constitu-
encies on the silver question. And not only
so, but it appears equally clear that they
have the courage of their convictions.
Heretofore the west has felt that proper
regard to the welfare Of the government
called for concessions and sacrifices of
local interests; but it has discovered that
the more the concession the greater the
demand laid upon it for more, and that
patriotic regard for the governments vel
fare no longer calls for the surrender of
local interests. 1t may be set down as q
fixed purpose, from henceforth, that in
matters of legislation the west viii
act upon the principle that its interests
are the governments interests, and that
in matters calling for compromise the
eastern states may expect TO concede as
much as common fairness and Justice

its annual convention In Macon It will es-
tablish $50, 900 exchange in Macon.
Much corn throughout Houston county
has been fatally damaged by the extended
hot and dry weather. The sugar cane crop
is also in a critical condition.
The Western and Atlantic railroad

crop of Georgia has been finer this year
than for several seasons.
The Cobb county alliance have elected
the following officers: j. D. Perlerson,

In order TO better satisfy the physicians a

lady gave a C rrect diagnosis.
Taking German medicine book DR..
Messemer placed another young lady under
the influence, blindfolded her, aud at his
d.ctation she read passages from the volume.
The lady does not know a single word of
the German language, but she read from
the book as though she were familiar with
the language.
Another young lady whose linguistic
talent is confined to English, was hypno-
tized and sang hymns in Latin, French and
German, pronouncing the words of each
language as correctly as a scholar could.
The physicians present expressed great sur
prise at the power demonstrated by the
coroner. DR.. MESSENGER told them that he
had frequently utilized hypnotism in his
practice, and had found it of much advan-
tage. He said the only danger is that it
may be used by INSCRIPTIONS persons for
the accomplishment of evil. He intends to
bring up a discussion of the matter at the
international medical congress.

BOILING LAKES IN THE sIERRAs.
Ono That VIII Cook an Egg in Four
Minutes and Covers Several Acres.
From the Red Bluff Peoples Cause.

From the Red Bluff Peoples Cause.
About 100 miles north of Oroville, at the
foot of old Lassen, there is boiling lake
covering sew eral acres The depth of the
lake is unknown, but its entire surface con-
stantly boils like huge kettle. The degree
of heat we do not know, but we were there
about ten years ago and remember distinctly
that it would scald the skin from the fingers
in very few seconds.
Our party agreed that 1t would boil an
egg in four minutes. The smell of sulphur
pervaded the atmosphere about the lake, and
around it's borders something like sulphur
could be scraped up in handfuls. This lake
is near Hot Spring valley at the base of
Mount Lasse1. Between it and the noun
tain there are perhaps thousand boiling
bubbling. hot springs, and in tramping
about these springs the soles of persons
shoes become uncomfortably warm. The
North Feather river, at the base of Lassen,
in its trucking SHOWS and springs, and in q
clear, cold and beautiful stream but q few
feet wide, flows through this community of
hot springs.
Some of these springs bubble ND boiling
water within span of the river. Stand
ing IN the midst of these springs a peculiar
sensation is experienced. At thousand
places the earth emits vapor of smoke,
while under the surface there is Earring,
roaring noise as if hundreds of steam en-
gines we're in operation, and the ominous
trembling of the earth produces a feeling
of uncertainty.
A short distance south of the boiling lake
and near Willow lake, which is beautiful,
cold and clear, there are several geysers
that shoot up streams of hot water from
five TO ten feet in diameter and eighteen
to twenty feet high. That is a grand aud
rugged country about Mount Lessen,
presenting every variety of natural
beauty and affording unlimited
fields of study to the
geologist. If it is desired to look into the
crater of an extinct volcano a trip to the
summit of Lassen will crafty the wish.
The high Sierras Of Northern California
are little known except to prospectors and
trappers of a past age, and their wonders
are yet to be described.
