DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1886.
ETNA IN FULL BLAST.
lion the Volcano Look* In a Stale of Kraptlon.
Catania Correspondence.
You have probably heard of the eruption
of Etna which is going on. 1 left Palermo
Saturday, and came here to see it. We left
here about 8 o’clock (six of English i Satur
day afternoon, and drove to Nicolosi,which
we reached about 5 o’clock, and got nudes
and went up to the scene. There were
crowds of people going there, but we took
a different road and Went up much higher
than the general crowd. We had a guide
with us, and after about three hours'
climbing we got to within a couple of
miles ot the crater itself.
It is at the side of Etna, you know, not
near the top, that this eruption has broken
out, and we got on to a bit of high ground
overlooking the whole scene. It was still
daylight when we got up there, so that we
saw the whole thing by daylight. We then
settled ourselves down to dinner, which
we had brought with us from Catania,and,
of course, it was soon dark, and here we
were comfortably feeding before the most
glorious and indescribable sight I ever saw
in my life. It is perfectly impossible to de
scribe it, as no one can have any concep
tion of what it is like until he sees it, and
also until he sees it from where we did,
which was on high ground overlooking
nearly the whole of it. At the top is this
enormous crater throwing out flames and
throwing up stones some hundreds of
ynrds, with a continual roar like any num
ber of battles going on, and just below is
another mouth, from which the lava
comes, traveling at a tremendous pace. It
divides into several streams and follows
the valleys.
Now imagine from where we were that
night, with our backs to Cataula, what we
saw. On our right this enormous flame
going hundreds of feet into the air, making
the whole sky bright red, and all dowtj
past us from our right and extending dowii
miles to the left streams of Jed hot lava
moving downward in a mass for miles, and
looking like an enormous sen of red hot
coke. The width across the lava w'herc
we were was, perhaps, three or four miles,
and it started about two miles above us
and flowed some four miles or so below
hs, so you must imagine a sea of nngry, red
hot lava five or six miles long, and three or
four wide, and about thirty or forty feet
deep, but all of it bright red. You can
judge whether it was a sight worth seeing.
1 would not have missed it for worlds.
The lava is not liquid, as most people
suppose, but consists of many millions of
large and small blocks of rocky looking
stuff rolling onward. We saw one huge
rock of old lava standing in the middle of
the stream of lava, which was divided by
it and ran around it: the rock was about
the size of, say, Quidenham church, and
this rock suddenly split into two parts, the
smaller half crumbled up, and the other
half was carried bodily down with the
stream slowly and steadily. We watched
it until we left, and it moved about three-
quarters of a mile in about three quarters
of an hour. We waited there until nearly
midnight, as we could not venture down
until the moon got up, and then we re
luctantly left this magnificent sight, which,
as I tell you, no description can give you
any idea of.
As we went up we had all gone into a
little house to see it, and walked round it
and thought it was unpleasantly close to
the lava. Well, os we came down this
house was in flames, and caught by the
stream. In many places we had to take
different paths, so quickly had the lava
spread as it came down ; and from below
it is awful (quite close to it) to see this
mass, thirty or forty feet high, coming slow
ly toward you. I brought a piece of red-hot
lava down with me, which the (juide got
hold of for me, as I could not get it myself.
It was so fearfully hot I could not go
close enough. We put wire around it, uud
I carried it down on the end of my stick.
In fact, we each brought a bit down, and
also some ashes or cinders which rained
down on us whenever the wind was our
way.
We got back to Catania at about 4:30
a. m. We were up near the crater nearly
four hours. We saw other people go up to
see the lower end of the lava, stay there a
few minutes, and go down again; but the
way to do It is to go right high up, arriv
ing by daylight, and then stay there to see
it by night and watch the changes going
■job. It was glorious.

ure of this municipal government is that
only the owners of vehicles are taxed foi
the pavements.
“ The agent of the Adams express told
me that Ids tax for his heaviest truck was
?17 a month, on the ground that such a
truck damaged the pavement more than
any other vehicle. Doctor’s vehicles arc
not taxed. All Rinn.ll saloons must be closed
at 6 p. in.
“\et the Mexicans have some queer ideas
of the just limits of law. A very intelligent
newspaper,] was told, once urged the
government to punish railroad corpora
tions whenever a washout occurred, ns if a
man could control such things. In the
ownership of laud, too, they have a pecu
liar law, which requires that no land shall
be taxed except, for that part of it which
is improved. If any attempt were made to
tax unimproved laud, I was told employ
ers would arm their men to forcibly oppose
“Fully one-half of the Mexican popula
tion lives in virtual slavery. Common sen
timent allows the employer to hold the
employe in actual bondage so long as lie
owes him anything. This state of things
prevails in the mines, on the farms, and all
through the country, and the working
class doesn’t know enough to rebel against
it.
“It is Mexico’s proud boast that it has
had no revolution since 187(1. The govern
ment lias learned what a revolution costs
and what a check to advancement it
brings.”

Charleston News ami Courier.
The simple but patriotic people of the
upper valley of the Delaware are making
elaborate preparations for the celebration
at Port Jervis of the “Glorious Fourth.”
The chief feature of the great parude of the
day will be “Old Spot,” the war horse of
the late Gen. Judson Kilpatrick, “which
still lives at the age of 31 years.” “Old
Spot” will be led in the parade by “Old
Ben,” the body servant of the great raider
during the war. We have no doubt that
“Old Ben,” and “Old Spot” bearing “Kil
patrick’s empty army saddle” on his aged
hack, will create a sensation among the
country people, who will probably garland
the poor exile’s neck with flowers, and
pointing to him, will tell their children
how southern Holds—and horses—were
won.
There are many persons still living in
the south who will take an almost aifei"
tionate interest in the honor done “Old
Spot.” In him they will recognize, per
haps, a long lost favorite from some quiet
country farm of the late Confederacy, a
blooded pet, perchance, which in the long
ago was claimed by all the boys of the
family, until they awoke one bright morn
ing to find that while they slept the stable
door had been opened and the horse had
gone. In the patriotic reflection that “Old
Spot” will represent the south in the ap
proaching celebration at Port Jervis, the
southern people who were robbed and
plundered by General Judson Kilpatrick
and his “invading army”—as Senator
Brown, of Georgia, would" not now say—-
may well throw up their hats and exclaim:
“The horse that wc lost lias been found
again—long live ‘Old Spot,’ long live ‘Old
Ben! ’ ”

“ Do vou think the president is an earn
est believer in Presbyterian doctrines?”
Dr. Byron Sunderland was asked.
“ That depends altogether on what you
mean by earnest,” replied the doctor.
“ From what I have seen of him 1 judge
him to be a sincere Christian, but I do not
believe that he is an earnest sectarian in
the sense usually conveyed by the term.
The doctrines and ceremonies of our
church suit his ideas better than those of
any other denomination, but he is the least
bigoted man in the world. In conversa
tion with me he has more than once said
that every sect of Christians were right ns
long as they were sincere in their religious
views, since they all worshipped God, only
after a different manner. No, the presi
dent could never become an earnest mem
ber of any sect, but he is a sincere, practi
cal Christian.”
“ Do you think his marriage will have
the effect of making him more regular in
his church attendance ?”
“ I suppose so,” said the doctor, smil
ing. “ Marriage usually has that effect on
men.”
The dumfeeder is an institution in New !
York city, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. He i
is a respectable innocent, who lets himself
out to accompany ladies to respectable
public restaurants in the evening. He |
charges f5 to 810, according to the size of
the woman party. He is scrupulously
clean, unexceptionable middle-aged, gen
teelly dressed, and preposterously reticent. ]
When a bevy of girls want to have a
modest toot at Delmonico’s agd do not
want to be under obligations to an escort !
or be forced into gentile monosyllables by 1
t he presence of n man, they send for a S
dumfeeder. He puts on his dress coat and '
accompanies them, looking not unlike a
Baptist uncle of theirs from tile country.
If he is well up in his business he marches !
into the restaurant ahead of his charges t
with his spring coat on his arm, wearing
the air of a capitalist. He orders the wait
ers about, says damn sotto voce, and then
asks pardon, and is generally bumptious,
but never pays the slightest attention to
what the ladies are saying. They disre
gard him utterly. Hu is, of course, the
dummy, but he gets his share of the nieul.
The lirst dumfeeder was a slightly de
cayed widower who had failed. He was
recommended by the ladies of one of the
art associations, and his business grew so
that he died of overeating some time a
year or two ago. Deaf men are preferred,
and later several middle-aged men went
into the business whose hearing was defec
tive. In fact, the occupation has, during
the last winter, grown into something like
a system, and one or two of the smaller
restaurants, I understand, keep professional
dumfeeders on hand, for whom any party
of ladies can make application by card in
advance.

MEXICO QUIETING DOWN.
ofVssor IV ail :i n'IN
New Haven News.
“Is there much lawlessness in Mexico?” !
“Not as much as there used to be. About j
ten years ago when train wrecking was j
abundant the government established i
what is known as the ‘rurales,’ a band of j
able-bodied and experienced horsemen, |
many of whom had been reclaimed from
brigandage. They scour the country in
search of outlaws, and are empowered to
shoot such characters on the spot, and do
it, too.
“The rurales are well paid, excellently
equipped, and are rapidly ridding Mexico
of its bad characters. In t he City of .Mexi
co, on the other hand, one is safer than in
New York. Policemen are stationed at
every street corner, and at night they car
ry lanters, so that in every direction, as far
as the eye can reach, you see these .'guard
ians ready to preserve the peace. The
municipal government of the City of Mex
ico is excellent.
“Their system of street-paving is espe
cially good. In any part ol the city water
is found at from two or three feet down.
At this depth they place a layer of cobble
stones, then one of gravel, "and on top a
layer of cemented granite blocks, which
make a lasting pavement. Every citizen
is required to clean the street in front of
his house once a day. Another good feat-
NOT SEARED,
BUT THE HEART THROBS OF
TRUE MANHOOD.
Sparta, Ga., Sept. 22, 1885.- To the Constitu
tIon, Atlanta—Were I to practice deception in a
case like this, J would think that my heart had
becomee seared beyond recognition.
To be guilty of hearing fUlse testimony, thereby
imperiling the lives of my fellow-men, would
place me beneath the dignity of a gentleman.
The facts which I disclose are endorsed ami
vouched for by the community in which 1 live,
and 1 trust they may exert the influence in
tended.
For twenty long years I have sutYered untold
tortures from a terrible pain and weakness in the
small of my bock, which resisted all modes and
maimer of treatment.
For a long time the horritYing pangs of an eat
ing cancer of my lower lip has added to my mis
ery' and suffering. This encroaching, burning
and pninAil sore on my lip was pronounced Epi
thelial Cancer by the prominent physicians in
his section, which stubbornly resisted the best
medical talent. About eighteen months ago a
cutting, piercing pain located in my breast, which
could not be allayed by the ordinary modes of
treatment.
These sufferings of misery ami prostration be
came so great that, on the 18th of last July, a
loading physician said that 1 could not live long
er than four days, and 1 had about given up in
despair. The burning and excruciating ravages
of the cancer, the painful condition of my back
and breast, and the rapid prostration of my
whole system combined to make me a mere
wreck of former manhood
While thus seemingly suspended on a thread
between life and death, I commenced the use of
B. B. B., the grandest blood medicine, to me and
my household, ever used.
The effect was wonderftil—it was magical. The
excruciating pains which had tormented me by
day and by night for twenty years were soon
held in abeyance, and peace and comfort were
restored to a suffering man, the cancer com
menced healing, strength was imparted to my
feeble frame, and when eight bottles had been
used I was one of the happiest of men, and felt
about as well as I ever did.
All pain had vanished, the cancer on my lip
healed, and 1 was pronounced cured. To those
who are afflicted, and need a blood remedy, I
urge the use of B. B. B. as a wonderfully effective,
speedy and cheap blood purifier.
Allen Or ant.
Sparta, Ga., September 22, 1885.- I saw Mr.
Allen Grant, when he was suffering with epithe-
i lial cancer of the under lip, and after using the
B. B. B. medicine, os stated above, I find him
now almost if not perfectly cured.
Signed, J. T. Andrews, M. I).
Sparta, Ga., September 22, 1885.- We take
pleasure in certifying to the truth of the above
statement, having supplied the patient with
the* Blood Balm.
Signed, IloziCR & Vakdeman, Druggists.
Sparta, Ga., September 22. 1885.—I often saw
Mr. Allen Grant when suffering from epithelio
ma, and from the extent of the cancer thought
he would soon die. He now appears perfectly
! well, and I consider it a most wonderful cure.
Signed, tt. H. Lewis, Ordinary.
