2 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. Across the Andes and Pampas. 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 Remeey is so popular for the cure of disease of the kidneys, Liver and bladder, is that i. shows immediate improvements in the con dition of the patient, and recovery is stead;, and certain.

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 No More Terror! No More Pain I No More Dangerl TO Mother or Child. Tbe Dread of Motherhood Transformed to HOPE and JOY. Safety and Ease TO Suffering Woman. A prominent physician lately remarked to the proprietor, that if were admissible to make public 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. H. J- HOLMES, M. D., Atlanta, Ga.
