This term might be applied to Stevens
Point, located on the Wisconsin Central
lines, at the gateway to the vast forest re-
gion which extends north to Lake Superior,
distance of 200 miles, without break. on
account of its vast lumber interests. The
Wisconsin river, to which the lumbermen
have given the familiar and somewhat
affectionate. title of "Old Wiscons," not
alone acts as lumber feeder to the city by
furnishing through its numerous tributa-
ries an outlet for thousands of acres OF
pine in the upper country, but it furnishes
a water power that is second only to that
Of Neenah and Menasha, which cities are
also located on the Central" Millions of
feet Of lumber are cut every year, giving
employment to hundreds of men. In ad-
dition to the lumber trade, ithas numerous
other manufactures; it is here where the
large car shops Of the Wisconsin Central
lines are located.

From "Gath's" interview with Senator
John Sherman: ''You have lost very
popular man inyour brother, the general ~

Yes; he was so popular that 1 think his
life was shortened by the entertainments
he went to. Not only in New York, where
he lived part of the time at hotel, was
he in continual request for every sport of
dinner party or reception, but when he
came to Washington we hardly ever saw
him. We gave him key, and we could
sometimes hear him come in after mid
night, hardly ever before. Yet he often
lectured me on the folly Of looking after
the presidential office. He had dreadful
series of examples on that subject. Said
he: It is all foolish. What do you do it
for They will kill you, They killed Lin
coln,. they killed General Taylor, they
killed Harrison, they killed Garfeldl' And
all that 1 could say was that it was the
first honor in the country, and seemed
to be generally desired"

SAN DIEGO, CAL, March "A party of
prospectors just in from the New river re-

the recent earthquake, have just retured
and bring in the news of a blazing volcano.
I'VE were on the lower Laguna mountains,
close to the Mexican boundary line, and
and about midway between San Diago and
Yuma, y said they, ''when the earthquake
occurred. It was felt sharply then and our
first thought was to look for the outbreak
Of volcano, but to our surprise, instead of
an outbreak, smoke and hazy steam, which
is always visible in the Cocopach region. at
first entirely disappeared the first day after
the earthquake. The entire desert was as
clear as a mirror That night change
came, We heard rumbling noises and the
next day the smoke returned denser and
blacker than ever. That night from every
mountain top we could plainly see flames
shooting up. The volcano appeared to be
about forty miles away and located in the
Mexican territory. The flames was not
high above the level of the desert and ap-
peared to come from pit hole.
