MOUNTAINS ON FIRE.
Picturesque Scene at fhe Village of Gram
sac, in France.

A communication from Aveyron,
France, says: The village Of Gram
sac is surrounded by burning noun
tains. The Montet, which, according
to local chroniclers, has been Oh fire
for more than century,h has now the
aspect of veritable volcano. From
it's crater-like summit an intense vol
ume of smoke rises during the day,
while at night multitude OF vari-col-
ored flames furnish the glorious spec
tacle of mountain on fire Actuated
doubtless 10y the strong winds of the
last few weeks, the fiery element,
which had been consuming the entire
Montet mountain proper, has spread to
the range, and has assumed proper
tions which are very grave. During
very dark nights the blaze Eliminates
the horizon as that of great confla-
grafton. At times blue white flames
shoot up to considerable h@ght, Civ
ing the effect of lightning during
storm. A curions fact about the burn
ing Montet is that whenever a period
of very cold temperature ensues, the
moantain fire seems to grow in intensi-
ty. All efforts to extinguish the blaze,
or even TO retard its progress. have
been an vain. All that has been done
to smother or qucnch the fire appeared
to but increase the fury OF the dcvour-
ing clement. Its progress is increas-
ing, and the blaze never was rs fierce
asit lis ROW." We add that this fire is
the sequel to eonnagration that broke
out in the coal mines of Fontaines and
Montet many decades ago. Joanne
mentions the burning mountain in his
Geographical Dictionary of France
1s41," as having beer on fire a long
time.

ANOTHER INNOVATION.
Banking System Introduced in One OF tn,
Department Stores.

Banking System introduced in One of the
Department Stores.
A banking department is the latest
novelty in Il large uptown dry goods
store, says New York exchange.
its object is to be convenience to
the patrons of the establishment and
residents of the neighborhood rather
than to make money for the firm.
1t is to all purposes a bank, though
not being chartered it cannot be digni-
fed with this name
Deposits are made and checks drawn
in just the same way as they are at any
bank. SO that the customer visiting the
store can transact all her business
under one roof.
She can furnish her home, provision
it, purchase her clothes and those of
the rest of her family, have her photo
graph taken and enjoy q delicious
meal, buy flowers for her lawn, take a
nap and pay for all by a check drawn
on the proprictors of the store.
The convenience of this banking de-
partment does not end here, for when
the bars and shutters have been put up
oa regular banks money is still passing
an and out the tcller's window.
Three O'Clock goes by without notice
and the fatigued shopper suddenly real
izes she has forgotten to have q check
,cashed. This she can have done as late
as ave o'clock on other Gays and nine n.
I.:. on Saturdays.
lJcighhming tradespaople also avail
themscives OF this convenience.

Several Lawyers Heard Respecting the Dis
posal of the Seized StooK.
The order restraining Sheriff Gillis
from selling the goods of |. W. Gibney,
causeda lively scene at the Court House
Saturday. The lawyers interested were
II. II. Ward, William Michael Byrne,
+. II. Cochran, Jr., j. II. Hoffecker,
Jr., II. @. Conrad and Philip @.
Churcbman.
On Friday Mr.. Ward, representing
one of the creditors, secured restrain
ing order from the Chancellor, but af-
terwards the defendants in the bill of
complaint, represented by Messrs.
Hoffecker, Conrad and Rumford, made
settlement with him for the amount Of
the claim, 500 to $500. Mr.. Ward ap-
peared at the Court House Saturday
and asked to discontinue the restrain
ing order. He appealed to Registrar
Colen Ferguson in the matter, but Mr..
Ferguson said that he was not vice.
chancellor.
1t was held by some of the attorneys
that he could not discontinue the order
without the consent of the Chancellor.
Messrs. Ryrne and Cochran, represent
ing Mantz of Plainfield, N. j., for
claim of s377, held that they had no
restraining order but were relying upon
the order secured by Mr.. Ward TO give
them time to get their claim into court.
Finally Mr. Churchman was appealed
to as the attorney for the sheriff. Mr..
Churchman advised the sheriff to obey
the restraining order of the Chancellor.
After this advice Gibney's attorneys
made settlement with Messrs. Byrne
and Cochran, and there was no further
trouble, as the attorneys were satisfied
that the sale should go on. Sheriff
Gillis, therefore put the goods on sale.
They were bought in lump by j. II.
Hoffecker, Jr., for So, 600. The money
is to be distributed to the creditors
in the order of their Judgments.

PHILADELPHIA TO WILMINGTON.
A Philadelphia Writer Describes the Road

A PhiladeIp phia Writer Describes the Road
Between the Two Cities Tor the Benefit of
Wheelmeu.
A writer in the Philadelphia Even
ing Telegraph on Saturday had
lengthy article describing the road
from Philadelphia to Wilmington, Civ
ing the peculiarities particularly inter
esting to wheelmen. After telling of
the goGd road from the Quaker City to
Marcus Hook, the writer took up the
Delaware end of the route after this
fashion:
1--WE proceed westward for short
distance; do you notice what sudden
change takes place in the appearance
Of our road2 Mason and Dixon's line
crosses our path right here. That
hard, stony road ahead of us belongs
to Delaware State, and is unfortunately
typical Of many another.
"Still, even the Wilmington pike is
falling into the line of general i'm
provement, and Philadelphians who
for some years have uniformly taken
the Paoli-West Chester route to the
busy town at the mouth of the Brandy
wine, had surprise in store for them
if they had followed this road during
the present week.
"The hills we always have with us,
of course. Here is the first of them,
just beyond Claymont railroad station.
"And this little village short dis
tance further bears the name of the
tavern, the Practical Farmer.
''See the ice along both banks of the
grand old river on our left? Kinder

bicycle manufacturers evidently took it
for granted that we should pause here
TO admire this beautiful scenery, for
they planted their sign right beneath
your gaze.
"Others have appreciated the spot

of gunpowder fame, have long made it
their home this lordly mansion on the
knoll to our right is theirs.

Genuine Attractions for the Travsiir
pnhIfr.

Genuine Attractions for the Travelling
Public.
Undoubtedly California offers more
genuine attractions TO the pleasure
travelling public than any other part of
the American continent. The fame of
its climate is worldwide and it is
sought even by Europeans, who find
it more charming than their own South
ern slopes. To Americans its worth is
too well known to necessitate de-
scription of the many advantages to
be enjoyed.
Personally conducted tours via Pen,
sylvania railroad will leave New Ici
and Philadelphia February 18th ~
March 11th, 1885, In addition to ii
many other points of interest visitc'
on the first tour stop will be made
at New Orleans for the Mardi-Gras fes-
tivities, and four weeks will be allowed
in California. On the second tour four
and one-half weeks will be allowed
in California.
In addition to the magnificent train
heretofore used for these tours is a
through Pullman compartment car.
The car, which will be the very best
that the Pullman company can supply,
will contain nine inclosed compartments
two drawing rooms and seven state
rooms--and will be attached to the
special train at Jersey City and run
through to San Diego, CAL, on the first
tour, and San Francisco on the second.
This will be the first car of its kind
to be run on transcontipental train,
and that it will be thoroughly ap-
preciated by participants in the tours is
evidenced by the fact that already
several of the compartments have been
reserved.
