DISAPPEARED FROM THE FACEOF

The Island of Juan Fcrnaudez-Rob-

Gently reported that he saw the island
blown to pieces by volcanic eruption.
ana another sea captain who arrived
at San Francisco the other day de-
clares the island is gone, and that he
believes the other captains story.
There is no other news concerning
the sinking of the island, but it Is quite
possible that 1t has disappeared. for the
reason that volcanic and carthuuakc
disturbances have been known to de-
stroy islands before. Then considering
the situation, why not Juan Fernandez

instances of the kind. and while earth

PREDICTING GOOD TIMES.

The Philadelphia Inquirer sees in the
increase of the export business of the
country harbinger of good times. II
says also that the Treasury income
mas once more nearly approached the
expenditures. the deficit for the month
to date being but Sl.S6O0oO. while the
Treasury gold reserve has gained near
~ N'1'o,o6o during the week. and now
stands at si3j.75O.O00
1t adds further that money rules easy
and that the bank failures in the North
west have failed TO produce any gene
raj alarm In other sections. The lesson
that may be drawn from the recent
course OF the markets it thinks. is that
prosperity will come slowly: that we
have splendid basis for 1t. and that
the general conditions are favorable. but
time is needed. Good times Is what we
all are hoping for and the sooner they

as the Virginia ham-they may be feed
on honey and nollasses and still not
be so sweet.
The Chronicle goes out OF it's way
moreover when It says The Virginia
ham Is fiat and fat. Did the editor of
our Georgia contemporary ever stick
his tooth in regular JUICY Smithfeld
ham from Old Virginia? If not his
evidence Is of no value and Will have
to be thrown out until he does.
Kaiser William, Gladstone and Bis
marck have been known to have the
Virginia Smithneld ham sent them as
something in the meat line extremely
elegant. and Queen Victoria eats them
regularly. Then you talk about the
Georgia and South Carolina ham. There
are hams and there are hams. but the
Virginia ham takes the cake
