Recent reports from Mount Vesuvius
say that its eruption is steadily increas-
ing in volume. A broad stream is flow
ing down north of the Atrio del Oavallo
in the direction of the Fosso della We
trana. and the cone of ashes, with the
crater of Vesuyius proper in the center.
is visibly growing. The interior plateau
which stems the lava flow appears at
night all on fire. According to the
measurements taken by the engineer Of
the observatory, the height of the noun
tain has increased by 100 meters since
the present eruption began, while the
fiery lake along the At1io has attained
circumference of 1900 meters, and
the bulk of the lava emitted Is esti-
mated at 1000, 900 cubic meters. The
magnificent spectacle attracts many
sightseers.

days journey. The draw-bridges
slowly open to give us entrance. The
city is lost from view as we round
the first point of the crowned
shore: The chilly morning air and
the mists which often envelope the
river give away to the rays of the
bright September sun. The effect Of
the early frosts is'already seen on the
trees. The Autumn tints are begin
ming to show forth; and the trees are
only awaiting the final blaze of glory,
when they will shed their summer
robes. Along the shore are seen all
kinds of summer abodes from the
white tent to fine county seats nestled
among orchards and vineyards. Cot
tages are numerous. On the left in
a grove Of naples with white-wsshed
trunks, is the camp of a military
company taking their annual vacation.
Occasionally we see q company oi
hobos encamped along the shore pre-
pairing their meagre repast, who have
already found their celestial company
an insufficient covering to protect
them from the cold night air, and
will soon migrate to warmer climes.
The farther we ascend the river
the more winding is its course, and
the hills rise much higher on each
side. The boat makes but few stops
IN going up stream. AS noon ap-
proaches we arrive at Berrien Springs,
which is the upper end of the route.
We 20 on shore to get our lunch and
wonder why the streets are so quiet,
but just outside of the town the coun-
ty fair is in session, which in this Sec
tion of the country is the chief event
of the year. But we haven't much
time to spend here as there are over
thirty stops to make in going back,
or about one for each mile.
AS we start down the river the in
creased speed of the boat is noticed
quite readily. Although the river
has a tranquil appearance, there is a
swift current running. The unseen
whirlpools and undercurrents make it
most treacherous stream for bathing
and many are the fatalltis resulting
therefrom each season.
The hours pass swiftly by, though
our progress down the river is more
slowly. At the numerous stops the
boat is being loaded with wagon-load

Where Willows droop and tsIl elm trsessis@s
While the great sun Oiled all the heavens sboye

Iheard the twittering Of the mating birds,
heard the wanton breeze steal down the

Sigh to the leaves soft thoughts too sweet for

And here, when life was young and hope was
high,
On such q summer day laid me down
And dreamt Of love and strife and victory
And high renown.
And here again lay me down and dream.
The suns as bright as then. the birds as gay,
Still on the lake the water lilies gleam
In rich array.

ALONG TaE ST. JOE.

| After spending few months amic
new scenes and with change of vaca
ton which is often better than a rest
whether 1t be in some foreign country
or some unfamiliar corner of our OWL
land, 1t is only natural for a man
from Ohio to give expression to what
he has seen under the new environ
ments.
AS Victor Hugo attempted to prove
by a syllogism that Normandy was
the finest country on earth, even so
the minds OF the inhabitants of the
St. Joe Valley seem permeated with
a similar idea. Nor is it strange with
their love of country, devotion to
state, and most excellent soil and cli-
mate which makes it one of the finest
fruit countries along the Great Lakes.
The st. Joseph river, as you may
know flows across the southwest cor.
er of Michigan; emptying into Lake
Michigan. At Its mouth are situated
the Twin cities of Benton Harbor and
St. Joseph. The former, the larger
of the two, being situated on the
north bank of the river on ground
which gradually rises from the rivers
brink.
The latter crowning a high bluff
to the south, and commanding a fine
view of the surrounding country and
a broad expause of the lake. While
the St. Joe Valley is noted for its
immense fruit productions, 1t is equal
ly well known as q summer resort.
Thousands annually visit this region
seeking recreation boating on the
lakes and streams or wheeling over
hills which would disgust cyclist &C.
customed to the level roads of Henry
county. Not only do they come from
Michigan but from other states and
the inland metropolis-Chicago.
The St. Joseph river is not so large
as the Maumee but for variety of
scenery it is far in the lead. Its his
tory may not be 80 important, yet it
is very interesting to read. 1t was at
this point on the 29th of October,
1879 that LaSalle with his company
of missionaries and traders landed af-
ter perilous voyage from Green Bay.
On the south bank of the river was
an Indian village; and the light OF
their camp-6res could be seen far up
the river but farther out on the
waters of the lake. Here LaSalle
smoked the pipe Of peace with the
Indians and erected a fort and chapel
while awaiting the arrival of the ship
which was to bring them supplies
from Fort Frontenac. But after
waiting in vain for more than month
he learned from party of traders
who had arrived from Mackinac that
the ship had sunk early in the Au.
tumn and with it the crew and his
entire fortune. Thus finding himself
deprived of means to carry on his
trade with the Indians he turned his
attention to the exploration of the
Mississippi and its tributaries. And St.
Joseph afterward became an import
ant frontier trading post.
! For days outing let us 60 aboard
the May Graham, an up-river steam
boat. This boat is Of about so tons
burden, and runs up the river to .
distance Of more than thirty miles,
carrying freight and passengers. At
Q few minutes past eight o'clock in
the morning, the schedule time for
starting, the moorings are withdrawn
and the boat slowly proceeds on its

BRYAN'S RIDE ON THE
WABASH.
Seventy-Six Miles an Hour Over
This Great Railroad.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. l5.-To ride on a
locomotive that is pulling an express
train at the rate of seventy-six miles
an hour is an interesting and exciting
experience, made more interesting,
perhaps, when in the last of these
nine cars hitched to this monster of
the rails there rides W. ]. Bryan, the
Democratic candidates for president Of
the United States, with divers and
sundry minor candidate and dignitar-
les of the Democratic party. Such
an experience as this fell to the lot Of
The Times correspondent between
Kansas City and St. Louis last Satur-
day.
The whole trip of nearly 800 miles
was an interesting one, although it
was N the closing ninety-two miles
that the journey was made on the To-
comotive.
RIDING ON THE ENGINE.
But all this is another story from
that I started out to tell. At Wells
vile through the courtesy of Super
intendent Garrett, Of this division of
the Wabash road, l was permitted to
climb into the freman's seat on en-
gine las, an S9,OO0-pound monster,
built in the Wabash shops at Spring
field, Ills,, and fitted up with the pat
ent inventions Of J. B. Barnes, super
intendent Of motive power and ma
chlnery: AS we pulled out of Mont
gomery; the last stop for sixty-one
miles, Engineer G. 0. Smith, famil-
iarly known as ''Chris," made ready
for arun. The fireman, James Cain,
shoveled the coal into the white-hot
bed of fire under the boiler, whence
came with every opening of the door
a blast as though it blew direct from
the Internal regions. There was a
deep rumble, and motion that seem.
ed blending of q tremble and q
throb, and gradually we gathered
speed until the great driving rods
few around with almost lightning
motion.
The road was nearly level, running
through slightly rolling country, for
we had left the broad Missouri valley,
and were travelling a succession OF
cuts and films, with an occasional
bridge or culvert from which rose a
dull roar as we passed. The motion
was something simply tremendous.
AS we dashed around the curves
the engine lurched and rose, seeming
almost to leave the track in its mad
flight. At that moment it was not
especially inspiring to know that there
was just an inch of iron fange be-
tween US and eternity. Clinglng des-
perately to whatever projections the
inside of the cab afforded, [ shouted

AS was the case on Tuesday, the most
striking event OF yesterdays proceedings
in the House occurred just previous to
adjOurnme mt.
Ex-Speaker Grow, moved therto by
cOioquy between Messrs. Picker and w.
"A. Stone as TO the probable action OF the
President upon general revision OF the
pension laws, protested earnestly against
the encroachme mt by the head of the cxecu-
tive department OF the government, or by
any OF his clerks, upon the prerogatives OF
the II House.
he referred especially to the circulation,
at the last session OF Congress, of bin
headed The Secretary OF the Treasurys
Bill" and to the reading of a letter from
the President by Representative wilson Just
as the House was about to vote upon the
tariff bill.
WALSH BACKED CUMMINGS.
The greater part OF the session was
devoted TO the discussion of the pension
appropriation bill, various Republican
members criticisiug the administration OF
the Pension Bureau.
Mr.. Walsh, Deln., New York, united with
his colleague, Mr.. Cummings, in assuring
the House that the Democrats of New
York approved u liberal pension policy.
He Invoked the chivalry of the members
from the South, which. lie said, had never
been appealed to in vain, TO vote FOR the
bill and the amendment proposed by the
committee, and thereby aid in making
comfortable the widows OF those who had
met them in the field in open and honorable
conflict.
In the course OF his remarks, Mr.. Grow
said:
.'Under the long established parliamen-
tary law, it has always been regarded as
an invasion OF the prerogatives of Parlia-
ment for any one to refer in its discussions
to the opinion of the king on any question
pending before it,
CLEVELAND THE KING.
A member: ''Is Mr.. Cleveland the
king?' +"
Mr.. Grow: ''In reference to matters
of this kind, he occupies the same rela-
ton to the House of Congress that the
sovereign in Great Britain does to Parlia-
ment. The President exercises the veto
power: and If we do not have, on any
given measure. the two-:hirds vote neces-
sary to overcome that, he is SO far, the
king.
- am well aware that the majority in
this House now would take no orders from
the present Executive: it is not in that view
that am raising this question. ! simply
submit that the legislative department OF
the government owes to itself to resent any
attempt on the part or the Executive or his
clerks to influence the vote Of this House
