Why do we hear so much about dyspep sia? Simply because so many people have it. Why are so many people talking about their cure from this dreadful dis ease?

C, who says, VI have used Brown's Iron Bitters for dyspepsia with most favorable results. I believe this medicine is all that is represented."

The Apalachicoia Tribune explains the great smoke which has been puzzling observers for years, and which could be seen on any cloudless dav ascendincr from the vicinity of Ancilla river, in Florida. Various efforts have been made to discover the supposed volcano. while, on the other hand, some have concluded that the smoke came from the camp-fires of some remnant of the Semi nole Indians. The Times-Democrat ex pedition threw no light upon he mys tery, the tall grass, boss and dense un dergrowth impeding the progress of the curious. One Capt. Asher is the hero who ar rived in Apalachicoia, with the follow ing information, which puts out the Honda volcano, and the romance is lost of the poor Seminole lingering in the land of his fathers. At the same time it adds to the attractions of the lovely land of fruits, flowers, and wonders. Perhaps from the sulphuric pools came the healing virtues which laid the foun dation for the legend that in Florida flowed the waters of eternal youth. Capt. Asher was in search of palmetto logs on the Ancilla river when he de scried the smoke or cloud from a point in the distance. Remembering the many reports he had heard about this smoke, he determined to un earth this mystery, if possi ble. So, calling his crew to gether, and picking up their, traps, the Earty pursued their way in , the small oats up the Ancilla river. They trav eled up the river, or creek, for it hardly deserves the name of river, for miles. After ascending from its mouth twenty five or thirty miles, he judges, he was brought to an abrupt halt by a rock bar rier in front Upon investigating he found that the river ended and was lost underneath the ground. Seeing that the smoke became more distinct at this point, and seemed straight ahead, he had .the boat hauled np to, the bank and sprang ashore, determined, if possible, to pursue his investigations on foot. As he sprang on shore he gave an exclama tion of surprise, scattered at various points were huse roicks. towerinar many feot above his head a thing unheard rtf m Honda. Mr. Asher describes some of the rocks as being as large as an ordinary dwell ing and apparently hollow, containing much water, lie describes them as being of a flinty appearance, and when struck .with an iron or steel instrument to emit thousands of sparks. A mile or two further on wee seen numerous rocks that were formed into round basins, their sides being smooth and beautifully polished. Mr. Asher sprang upon the top of one of these basins. As his foot came in contact with the flinty substanca a hollow sound was emitted from the rock. Calling for a pole, and it bemg handed to him, he placed it in the center of the basin. What was his surprise on drawing the pole to the top may be easily imagined when h discovered that the rock, being hollow, was filled with a stror sul phuric water. Pursuing their way through the bog, sometimes up to their knees, again on hard ground tor some distance, then again scratched and bruised by the underbrush, and fighting musquitoes that seemed to resent this intrusion of their dominion, the little party had a hard time of it. Presently they came to where the river issued from its underground covert and pursued its way onward, to again disappear in the bowel3 of the earth. Mr. Asher states that every few hun dred yards those pools would make their appearance, and from them would issue white, misty clouds that would ascend heavenward, seeming in the distance to be clouds of smoke. He stated that the water in these pools was as clear ae crystal and filled with beautiful nsh, both fresh and salt. He caught a great many of the flsh, and attempte to drink some of the water, but It was unpalata ble nauseating to the smell and taste. He spent several days wandering around these points, and he says he never before thought there was 6uch place in Florida. He discovered several rocks that he presumed would have answered very well for houses, being quite as large, hollow, and the walls as smooth as glass. He appeared to think it very strange that these monster rocks should be found in sueh a low, flat, marshy section. He says that the rock3 are separated by a distance of 200 feet, and rear .their black, grimy heads to heaven from a level plain of marshy soil. There are no indications of there having been a hill, much less a volcano; in this section, and the smoke or cloud seen so often is simply the vapor rising from the sulphuric pools. Lunatic In China. . Chicago Tribune. Expert testimony in lunacy does not seem to be regarded with respect in China. The Pekin Gazette relates that a lunatic in that city, who, in a paroxysm of madness, murdered his grandmother with a vegetable-knife, was summarily executed in the dis agreeble manner known as the "slicing" frocess. The imperial warrant says hat parricides and matricides "must be sliced," and contains no saving clause concerning the insanity of the prisoner. WITHOUT A P AE ALLEL IN MEDICAL HISI0EY.
