A Marvelous Stream.
At a distance of 30 miles south of the
river Diamante our route passed through a
natural object of considerable interest—t
stream, or rather rill, ui yellowish white
fluid, like petroleum, issuing from the
mountain side at a considerable height, and
trickling down the slope till lost in the po
rous soil of the valley below. The source
from which it flowed was at the junction
where a hard, metamorphic rock, inter
spersed with a small crystals _ of agnite,
overlay a stratmum of volcanicstuft. It
was formed like the crater of a volcano, ai d
full of black, bituminous matter, hot and
sticky, which could be stirred up to the
depth of about eighteen inches. Flounder
ing in it was a polecat or skunk (Memphetis
varians), having been enticed to its
fate by the desire of securing a bird caught
in the natural bird lime, till a bullet from
the revolver of one of the party terminated
the skunk’s struggles to extricate itself from
the warm and adhesive bath in which it
was hopelessly held captive. The overflow
from this fountain was, as de cribed, like a
stream of petroleum two or three feet wide
trickling over a bed of pitch or some such
substance, which extended to a much
greater width along the edge of the running
stream as its contact with it. This materia,
was of a very sickly nature, becoming
gradually harder as it spread further out
assuming the appearance of a°phalt wher
it became mingled with the loose sand of
the adjoining soil.
While engaged in examining this natural
curicsity, we came upon two small birds
caught in the sticky substance at the edge
of the stream. They were still alive, but
upon releasing them both the feathers and
the skin came off where they had come in
contact with the bituminous matter, so that
we had to kill them to put an end to their
sufferings. No doubt they had been
taken in by the appearance of watei
which the stream presented, and had
alighted to drink. Their fate suggested
the idea that in a district so devoid of
water others of the feathered tribes must
constantly become victims to the same de
lusion m a similar manner, and upon aclose
inspection of the margin of the stream thi
correctness of this inference was establishe
by the discovery of numerous skeletons of
the birds embedded in it; nor were those ot
small quadrupeds unrepresented, among
which we recognized the rem tins of a fox.

A Japanese With the Jim-J;-ms.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The Japanese are very precise and correct,
as a rule, in their pronunciation of English,
as they learn more or less like parrots. One
day a man went into the Fiogo telegraph
office with a message to be sent to Osak>.
The pelite Jap took it from him, looke
kindlv over it and then said:
“You—can—not —send—this—message—
to-day!’’
“Why?”
“ The —gentleman —who takes —charge
o f—the—telegraph -office— is- drunk”
“Indeed ! I-he often taken like that?”
“He—is—very frequently—drunk.”
“Well, what am I to d ?”
“If—you—will—leav e—your—address— ■
will—send—and—tell—ycu—when—he b
—sober.”
One reason why Hunt's [Kidney and Liver

MOTHERS’
FRIEND!
This i’ valuable prepa
ration is truly a triumph
of scientific skill, and no
more inestimable benefit
was ever bestowed on the
mothers of the world.
not only short
ens the time of labor and
lessens the intensity of
pain, but, better than all,
it greatly diminishes the
danger to life of both
mother and child, and
le.ves the mother in a
condition highly favor
able to speedy recovery,
and far less liable to
flooding, convulsions and
other alarming symptoms
incident to lingering and
painful labor. Its truly
wonderful efficacy in
this respect entitles the
Mothers’ Friend to be
ranked as one of the life
saving appliances given
I to the world by the dis
coveries of modern sci
ence.
From the nature of the
case it will of course be
understood that we cannot
publish certificates con
cerning the Remedy with
out wounding the delicacy
of the writers. Yet we
have hundreds of such
testimonials on file, and
no mother who has once
sed it will ever again bf
without it in her time of
trouble

A prominent physician lately remarked to the

the letters we receive, the‘‘Mothers’Friend” would
outsell any thing on the market.
I most earnestly entreat every female expecting to
be confined, to use Mothers’ Relief. Coupled witl.
this entreaty I will add that during a long obstetri
cal practice(forty-four years, I have never known it to
fail to produce a safe and quick delivery.

When you como to think of it, it is not
odd that literary people prefer a pipe to a
cigar. It is handier to smoke when they
are writing, and ever so much cleaner.
And then it gives them the true essence
and flavor of the tobacco.
The most fastidious smokers among all
nations and all classes of men agree that
the tobacco grown on the Golden Tobacco
Balt of North Carolina is the most delic
ious and refined in the world. Lighter
than Turkish, more fragrant than Havana,
freer from nitrates and nicotine than any
other, it is Just what the connoisseur
praises and the habitual smoker demands.
