A VISION.
BV I . A. XUtKV.
On one night I at me dreamiuc,.
In the woonlicUt's weird rleainmR,
Forming pictures, weeding fancies, of
fcnigbtly days or yore:
AVhen I taw a weaned palmer,
And old paladin in armor.
And the tokens on their helmets which
"Layde Loves" thev bore.
the
for
Saw I castlo high and hoary,
On a loftr nroniontorv.
Beetling o'er th"o stormy waters of the w,ild and
aurgingsea;
And m oriel recliuinr
Saw I beauteous maid entwiuinr.
Leaves of ivy. and outlookiug on the wild im
mensitv.
Then I heard sweet notes ascending
Note melodiously blending,
From a harjxjr in the court beneath the castle
old and grand;
Then I saw the lovely maiden
From her reverie awaken,
And listen to the ministrcl as he sang of the
Holy Land.
Vhen the troubadour completed
Some love lay he'd oft repeated.
He was asknl by her, the maiden in the hij,h
and loliy tower.
If he had the wide ae&s over
Sailed with tidings from her loer,
Who was warring with his brother knights
against the painiam power.
"Lovely lady, bright the story
Of thy warrior's deeds of clorr,
Many Saracenic chieftain by his halberd found a
grave;
But thy own trne knight is sleeping
Xovr where venal myrtle crrepiBg,
Where the palm tree and the cellar a their
Orient beauty wave."
Then I saw the maiden leaniag.
By the oriel and weeping
I saw her "fading like summer Sowers in au
tumn's tad decay;
And ere long I saw the clothing.
Sable stole on her reposing,
And they placed her in the vault beneath the
"abbey old and gray.
Up TesuTlBs by Kill.
It is just 10 o'clock when we enter onr
carriage, the Vesuvius. We axe five in
each compartment, which can contain six.
Horn signals are exchanged with the up
per stations, of -which there are
two along the line; a whistle is &o rinded,
and we begin the ascent. The angle of
inclination is at first 40. decrees, increases
to Co decrees, and has decreased again
to 4S degrees when we enter the upper
station, just eight minutes after starting.
The outline of the mountain edge runs
parallel with our course. Swiftly and
smoothly we go up, and we lean out of
the windows we forget the mountain and
feel as if we were in a balloon far above
the glimmering world below us. Noth
ing is yet to be seen of the crater of
eruption. The mighty shoulder up
-which we are gliding hides it from us;
but we see its shadow and that of the
smoke projected on the side of the moun
tain to our left, for the moon is rising
above the edge on our right.
Flaring torches receive us at the up
per station, 3540 feet above the level of
the sea. It is still unfinished and looks
like a mass of scaffolding. This was the
most difficult part of the undertaking,
for here the very little firm foundation
to be found anywhere failed entirely
nothing but loose lapQli and ashes. We
leave the station and going up some lit
tle wooden steps and through a gate in
an immense wall of lava, which is one of
three built to protect the line from possi
ble streams of the glowing matter, we
enter the narrow path which has been
made in zigzags up to the edge of the
old crater, about a quarter of an hour's
walk. It is heavy work, because of the
deep, loose c&he3 which form its pave
jnent; but this is nothing compared with
the fatigue formerly undergone in
ascending the mountain.
Still, the ladies of the party are very
glad to be relieved of part of their own
weight, and to be pushed and pulled up
even that brief space, taking advantage
of the dozen guides who are waiting to
be employed. The reports about the
despair and ill-will of these Vesuvian
guides are, I think, much exaggerated.
As the railway gains the confidence of
the public more and more, people will
ascend it, and the guides will earn
enough, for it is unwise in the weak to
refuse the aid of their strong arms, and
fool-hardy in the strong to venture over
the still hot and crumbling lava in the
newly filled up crater without the
guidance of one accustomed to the place
and aware of the changes which con
stantly take place.
Till now the edge of the old cter has
intervened between us and the new
eruptive cone, but as we leave the little
pathway and begin to cross the jagged
lava, a glow of red light bursts upon us
and rivets us to the spot. The new cone,
some 150 feet high, and perhaps five
times that number in diameter at its base,
is in a state of violent eruption. Pre
ceded by a sound which I scarcely know
bow to describe something like a sud
den blast of wind in the naked branches
of a winter forest, or the fall of a crested
wave on a shingly coast millions of
glowing particles, from the size of a can
son ball down to a tiny spark shoot high
into the air and fall slowly and grace
fully upon the sides of the cone, sliding
down with a cracking sound, and sprink
ling it all over with a fretwork of fire.
The large masses fell back into the cra
ter, or, if projected far enough, with a
dull thud on the gigantic cinder heap.
A few seconds interval, during which
the column of whirling smoke looks very
beautiful, its lower part glowing in the
red light from the crater below, its upper
part bluish white in the moonbeams
and another fierce s s sh, s s sh,
announces another shower.
The smaller sparks seem to serpentine
in fiery streaks as they rise and fall, and
in ascending, to be flattened at the top.
Whether this is really the fact, as would
be possible if still-liquid lava wcro
hurled -up into the air, or whether it
was an optical illusion, I could not make
out without the closest attention, and it
was impossible to approach the cone and
pick up one of the smaller stones as it
cooled, to see if it was of oblong form
uud really flattened at -one end. All at
once there is a stronger eruption, and
the glowing masses are hurJed to a
greater distance, one falling not far from
up. Onr guide brings it on the end of
a stick. It is rapidly cooling and grow
ing black, and looks like a piece of rag
ged sponge, so perforated is it with
holes.
"What use to describe how wo stag
gered about on the torn and crumbling
surface of the laTa which now fills the
once deep crater of 1872, until we get to
the newest stream, which issued from the
foot of the new cone only throe days ago,
and was red hot only a few inches be
neath the crust on which we stood? The
acid and sulphurons fumes issuing from
cracks all about, and the increasing heat
of the lava beneath our feet drove us
back again. It was not pleasant to
Ihink that a fiery abyss might open
under onr very feet. "We retreated to
the lava blocks at the edge of the old
crater, which made a pleasant scat, and
felt comparatively cool, though if you
stretched your foot into one of the many
cracks it was found too hot to lot it ro
xnain there. We sat for n long time ad
miring nature's fireworks, of which ouo
could never tiro. A black and lofty crag
rose to our right baud, and allovc it
shono the shield of tho moon in exqui
site contrast to tho lurid glare from tho
volcano.
Returning to tho upper station we had
a taste of old times in such descents, for
tho guides took a short cut instead of
following tho littlo path, and rauwith
us straight down into tho ashes, which
modoof proceeding, though fatal to ono'a
boots, is productive bf a sonxs of being
provided with a seven-leagued pair and
also of much laughter. As to tho new
triumph of science and machinery ever
being able to extinguish tho poetry of
the mountains, that is impossible Tho
whole railway stations and adjuncts teem
a pygmy work on the- mighty bosomjof
Vesuvius; and formerly, 1 am sure, no
one had time or ttrcngth during tho
painful toil of tho ascent to admire tho
steep outlino of tho mountain, tho effect
of the moon rising behind its edgo, or
the beauty of thelandscapo below. Now,
as we gently glide down in our tiny car
riago and soo beneath us, as in a well,
the lights of tho principal fetation, wo
have timo to observe everything.
The most curious effect is produced by
seeing tho ascending carriage slip past
us, as it were, up to heaven, in spite of
all tho laws of gravity. This new play
thing is, indeed, very delightful, and no
one can spend a moonlight night better
than in such an nnfatiguing ascent of
Vesuvius, ready on arriving at tho top
to enjoy tho sublimo spectacle. How
long the tiny railway will last is another
thing. In itself it is as strong and safe
a one as can be found; but if ever tho
volcano again exerts its whole strength
a now crater might open, and a stream of
lava issue on the very spot where people
now ascend and descend as easily as in
the life ol a modern hotel. The expense
of the whole work was, we are told, 170,
000,000 francs. It was begun on the 1st
of August last year, and was often inter
rupted by the excessive cold and high
windsoflast winter.
The foundation of a littlo hotel is al
ready laid, so that by next winter one
can spend a night comfortably on the
mountain, and stay to soo tho sub ri&e.
The air is perfectly delicious; one longs
to escape the heat of Naples, and pass
the dog days at this elevation. In a
short time the railroad will be lighted
by electricity. We saw a machine in
readiness. Since the Cth of this month
there have been on anaverage 45 jui&son
gers daily, but about 50 are wanted to
make a fair profit. Jutt now it is the
empty season, so tho company has not
one daily. With further success it may
become possible to reduce the fares, and
thus secure all classes of visitors. At
present it is by far the best plan to take
tickets from Naples, for if you go in
your own carriage or on horseback to the
beginning of the new road, you have
still to pay four francs toll, and 15 for
the ascent and descent on the railway.

a Corner.
A young board of trade blood was ar
rested a short time since on a charge of
embezzlement. J. F. Sherwin. of the
firm of J. F. Shtrwin & Co., is the gen
tleman under tho cloud, and his alleged
victim is no other iverson than General
Ilafas Ingalls, of FhiL Sheridan's stafiT.
The man of war, if statements from reli
able sources are to bo cralitoa. has evi
dently assumed the role of I) oilstone
Flat, and is plaving it to perfection.
But "Balloon" isn't "up to 140 and still
jumping! and that seems fo be the only
drawback in the pleasant little drama.
Only a few weeks ago General Ingalls
drew about $700 from his hoard, and.
with Utopian visions of big bonanzas
floating before his dazzled brain, he de
cided to speculate in wheat, and quickly
realize something more than a moderate
fortune. He bent his stops toward
"Gambler's Alley, and there the griz
zled veteran paid his devoirs to fickle
fortune. J. F. Sherwin, a young bull or
bear, or something of that sort, kindly
consented to receivo the $700, and
promised to put the lucre where it
would do the most good. Sir. Sherwin
is, according to his own pretensions, the
responsible head of the firm. In the
same establishment Mr. Sherwin, Sr.,
officiates as clerk Father and son rende
at No. GS7 West Adams street. What
became of the general's $700 when it fell
into the clutches of the speculator is
something f a mystery. Young Sher
win, however, is alleged to be a man of
pleasure; or, in other words, to- be ad
dicted to fashionable vices. In saloons,
and in resorts where the "boys" do
nightly congregate, the savings of the
soldier's salary arc said to have been
squandered. "However that may be,
when J. F. Sherwin and Gen. Ilufus In
galls had an interview, the former was
$400 short" in his accounts. The vet
eran didn't challenge the speculator on
the spot, for it was his puree and not his
honor that had suffered. The general
merely went to the nearest justice, swore
out a warrant, and J. F. Sherwiu was ar
rested by Constable Grant. Samuel
Sboeneman went security for tho pris
oner on a bond of $500. Tho trial comes
off before Justice Brown, on tho 30th
inst.
A Monster or the Derp.
Wo sometimes read of gigantic octo
puses being caught in such remote
places as Northwestern America or South
Australia, but tho general idea of a
British octopus is gathered from the hor
rible but harmless little bunch of fleshy
tentacles, with the bulbous head, which
gracefully glides throngh tho waters of
the Brighton Aquarium and flops down
uncouthly on the artificial rocks. Nev
ertheless, thero are giant octopuses ill
our seas, as readers of Victor Hugo's
thrilling romance, "Leu Travail eurs do
la 3Ier," havelearnod to their groundless
horror. Seldom, indeed, are these re
volting monsters ever seen, but that they
undoubtedly exist at certain depths, was
proved by the enormous specimens cast
up by the sea on the Dnggerna Beef at
Kilke, County Clare, during the lwt great
storm, on Oct. 7. An accurate descrip
tion of tho strango jelnam has been fur
nished by the Bev. B. I. Gublwtt. It
tentacles, of which thero wore eight, bail
been partially broken. Each rf them
was as thick as a man's upper arm, and
studded iidderueath throughout the
whole length with a doublo row of
rounded suckers. Tho length of the
arms was from 12 to 15 feet, so that
from the extremity of ono arm to that
of its opposite was a span of 30 feet.
The length of the -animal e trunk from
end to end was at least 20 fict. The
head was about three feet long, but very
narrow, and lis hideous eyes were like
the inner surfaco of a breakfast plate,
while its repulsive mouth, shaped like a
parrot's beak, was as large and baggy
as the joined hands of a man with fingers
outstretched. The lie rrid thing weighed
nearly a quarter of a ion, and to com
plete its manifold attractions, was
decked in the livery of a turlwt's under

-TIIEX TTILBL'R GIRLS."
"For all hare, sinned nutl como short
of tho glory of God." Marion Wilbur's
fuco got kinder pale as our minister re
peated them awful words, and 'looked
.scorchiu' liko right into her face with
them black eyes of his.
Them Wilbur girls aro tho torment of
our town, and 1 could go back to tho
timowhon they was littlo young 'una,
and toll lots of tormontin' to commence
just where I did, and tell about Marion
nud wall, never mind who, you 11 hear
soon enough.
When our minister said them words so
earnest, looking right into Marion's eyes,
I heard her say under her breath like :
"Well, is it my fault? You aro leadin
tho flock."
Laura Wilbur laughed then. She's
tho youngest, but not nigh so wicked as
Marion.
Thun says I to my husband the ugli
est mln in tho world good, tho', awful
good.
"Nathan, them girls ought to be put
out of church; they ain't fit to stay in it.'
And he whispered back to me.
"Samantha, 'judge not that wo be not
judged."
I responded, sharp like.
"Scripture comes tolerably handy to
you, Nathan, when you are taken in by
two pretty faces. Hush, now." says 1.
"No more scripture nor anything."
After church, when I went lioine, I
told Nathan about how them Wilbur
girls used to laugh in prayer mcctin'
every time old Gray gavo us his experi
ence". The old man was forgetful like and
gave it different every time; but that was
nothing to laugh at, as I told 'em.
Thorn ilbur girl was awful pretty;
they was fair and had big blue eyes;
their hair was yellow and fell in pretty
curls over their white foreheads. 1 tried
to like thm girls, but I just couldn't.
Now there was our minuter; the whole
vear ho had been preaching for us he
had tried to have their sonl. He told
them some day, deperato-like, and that
Marion savs:
"vVhy, "Mr. Norton, Laura and I
haven't" got any souls to speak of."
Says I:
"Miss Wilbur, woull find out some
ftav." And brother Newton looked aw
ful n&d and troubled-like.
Well, in a few days we had a church
festival. The Wilbur girls kept tot
oflice. Everybody knew they didn't do
it to help the church at all, but to hare
fan and talk with all the boys. But they
was the only girls we could get to write
letters, so we lectured cia and et 'em to
work.
Says 1:
so foolin now, Marion.
So tho day before the festival, when we
was decoratin the church, they came up
to write the letters. I never saw a prat
tier sight than them girls bonden their
sunny headc earnestly over their work,
and now and then a b'right smile lightin
up their pretty faces.
It was that very evenin I found oat a
stcrcL
Brother Norton seemed to think them
girls Mttin there writ in' made a pretty
picture, too, for he said to me. sad
like-
"Sister Wells, is it not a pity that two
such loTeir jonng ladies should bo so
well, so"
"Say it out like a man. Brother Nor
ton." say I. "So Urnational wicked.
"Well, not really wicked," he an
swered. "Yes," says I. "Wioked awful
wicked, toof
"Samantha," put in Nathan, "judge
not."
"That'll do for you, Nathan," tars I.
Our minister, he kept Urin at theta
girls, and ho did I. and directly I aya:
"I tell you, Brother Norton, I feel
iorrv for the man who marries Marion
Wilbur.'
"I ain't no fool, and I know in a min
ute what it meant when I aw his fac
get red as my hair. Our minister was in
love with Marion Wilbur of all the (co
pis in the world! Flumb disgusted I
was.
For a while after the festival them
Wilbur girls was pretty quiet. Our
minuter and some others got up revi
val mcctin', and I'm awful thankful to
say a great deal of good was done. The
last night there was a big crowd. Dea
con Wilbur, who is half blind, went to
iia&s around the hymn books; as fast as
te gave "em out the ones that took 'cm
commenced to giggle like. Savs I:
"Nathan, they aro all a set of lunatics."
Pretty soon he gave mo a book and I
opened it; it was a first reader! Lor!
wasn't I mad though? I didn't laugh
Marion Wilbur owned next day to our
minister that she spent five dollars for
these looks, just for the fun cf fool in'
ioople. Savs he, mad for once:
"Miss Wilbur, never dare to enter tho
church door again!"
"Very well. Mr. Norton." says she. "I
won't, bat Laura and I will have a lad
der made and go in at the window."
And they did, too, tho very next Sun
day. Everybody was a singin "Sweet
Hour of Prayer," when in eamo them
girls at the window! Everybody min
ister and all laughed but me. Says I:
"Nathan, that'll do."
When we get home I says:
"Nathan, them people "in the Bible
was tormented by locusts and lots of
other plagues, but none of them was
equal to them Wilbur girls; and Johh
the Baptist ought to be thankful that
he had his head taken off before he
saw 'cm."
That even'n onr minister called at
our house in his buggv. Says he
"Get in. Sister Wells, and take a
ride;" and I wont.
As we passed out of town and was
goin' up a steep bank somcthin' came
bang! against the buggy. The horse
was awfully skeered; he rami back;
down went the buggy down, down
and over at last, and I was gcttin',
stupid liko, lookin' after tho borre and
huggy. when a girl camo fiyin' out of
the thicket by the roadside. She never
looked at mo but run to Brother Nor
ton, who was laying awful still and
white, and nho knelt down by him
sobbin' and inonrnin' and I saw it was
Marion Wilbur, and I knew it was
her and nobody else that skecred tho
horse, and she kept mournin' over and
over.
"Have I killed you, my love? Speak
tome! God help me! I will never bo
so wicked againl Oh, my love, my
lovel"
"Marion Wilbur, I hope ho is dead,
and that his ghost will haunt you for
ever!" But she never answered me; inst
looked at mo a minute with her while
face, and sobbed and cried again, sayin':
"Oh, ho is dead! Is he dead? Ucavon
help mo!"
Says I;
"lou nocd help."
"My love, my darling," she cried.
"Forgivo mo lovo mo! Don't die
don't did"
"Marion," says I, "don't boa fool! If
you want him to live so bad you might
gel sonio water and pour in hi face, or
go for a doctor; calling him lovo and
darliu' won't euro a broken head."
"But alio didn't seem to hear mo, but
said:
"Oh, my darling, if you should die!"
Just then ho opened his eyes, startled ,
like, smiled and whisjwretl:
"Marion, don't cry, my dear lovo."
But fho did. and ho kissed her. Savs
I:
"Go on, yonug people, it's intcrcalinV
Tliey laughed, and then Brother Nor
ton says :
"Promiso me, my Marion, never to Ikj

"Brother Norton," I said, "you will '

what sho has dono already." !
"And yon lovo me," sho whispered. ,
"Good gracious, sparo us!" I hoi-1

"Brother Norton, if you havo any
sympathy for mo, don't start off on that
strain again. You are tho biggest fool
in our town except Marion. 1 con
gratulate you, but oh, don't get off in
mat strain again.
Just then a man came with onr horse
and buggy and thankful was I.
Marion Wilbur got to be a quiet sort
of a girl, and after a while her and onr
minister got married. La, yes! they

is exceedingly active, presenting ungual
attraction. Tho most active flow now is
that running from the summit of Mauna

The plea of the anti-woman suffra
gists U that the exeasise of the elective
f ranch i is calculated to lower the
standing of woo manhood that it would
be degrading to women to mix in the
filthy pool of ilities. That argument
is answered by the fact that all of onr
intelligent women mix mora or les in
politics now especially in all impor
tant elections. In Presidential elections
they frequently become quite as ratlin
siatic as the men, and that, too, without
any sacrifice of thoe fine trail that are
supposed most to adorn womanhoul.
Surely, the exercise of the franchise a
momentary affair, and in tho performance
of which we can see no more improprie
ty for woman than there is in walking un
bailed upon the street could not possi
bly bo ony mora degrading than the
waring of a handkerchief at a political
procession, or occupying a front wat at
a political meeting. They would exer
cise the privilege with quite as much
sound discretion and judgment aa the
average male voter, and certainly much
les corruption and whisky.
In Wyoming, where women have voted
for several rear?, no such evil conse
quences have followed their exercise of
the franchise as are predicted by the
malo alarmists. The women thero are a
power which can not bo ignored, and
thus far that power has invariably been
exerted for good. It is said of the wo
men voters there, that, while less familiar
with party principles, they aro more con
scientious, independent and instinctively
right than the mole voters. Tbcy scratch
their tickets a good deal. At the poll
there is nothing objectionablo to tho
lady voter. The law requires a cleared
siace of fifteen feet pquaro in front of
the ballot box. Tho utmost quiet pre
vails, and when a lady walks up to de
posit her ballot she meets nothing but
deference and olitcness from officials
and sjiectators. Usually thoy ndo up
to the polling places in carnages pro
vided by the party managers. The lody
with her voto already prepared, alights
from tho carriage, tho crowd, if any,
quietly fulls buck to open the passago
way, while she walks to tho window or
opening behind which sit tho clerk and
election judges, gives her name, drops
her vote in tho box, and rcturnr.
Surely there is nothing degrading in
this; but rather does it not help to
exalt and purify the ballot, now so
often corrupted to baseness?
