Floating Scorn l‘rcm the Java lirnpuol. The following interesting account of ashes and pumice from the volcanic erup- tion on the island of Java in 1883, found afloat at sea in January last, is furnished of the Antelope of Boston: From the 14th to the 15th of January, egress south, and longitudes 83 degrees and 84 degrees east, we passed through quantities pumice-atone and ashes. At times the sea appeared to be literally covered by it. The large pieces were heavily weighted ' pieces from the log betwen latitudes 1 degree and4 d of with marine growths, and many appeared to be on the point of sinking. We picked upa smallquautity of it, and among is found a small and very peculiar a turbot. We may mention that a large number of e caught and s fish resembling an alew. v'e, also lots of small crabs, were among the pumice, and they all appeared to be busily engaged swimming from piece to piece eating barn- shapcd fish, somewhat resembling fish similar to the one acles, etc. The pumice is, no doubt, ticular of time. About the 28th of September last the sea beach of Natal, south west Africa, wascovered by pumice, cast ashore by the sea. Thepumicemust have began its jour- neyaibcut the 28th of August, 1883, and in 397 days it had driftedâ€"taking Java as its point of departureâ€"sdistancc of 4,400 miles, or 11 geographical miles per day.

At the session of the Methodist con- ference in Kingston, a motion was passed expressing thankfulness to God for the cessation of the rebellion, great admira- tion for the devotion and courage manl- fested by the young men who went to the front, and the deepest sympathy with those who mourn the loss of beloved ones on the field of battle. The Carleton Place Herald charges that “some of the C. P. R. cars in which vol- unteers were taken to Lake Superior were terribly mutilated and defaced on the interior. 1t is said that cushions were completely out from their frames. Sumo seats were completely destroyed Windows were broken, and our walls were wilfully and wantonly defaced." This is a charge the public will be loath to believe unless strongly sustained by evidence. The Philadelphia News states the alt- uation fairly when it says : “The attempt toget ups sentiment in favor of Riel’ because he is said to be an Americair citizen ought to fall. He has offended the laws of Canada on the soil of the Do~ minion and has been caught rod-handed. There is no law nor reason why this should exempt him from trial in Canada so longer there is any chance for him to have a fair trial, such as it is to be pre~ aumcd he will get." The banner made by the ladies' of Montreal and presented to the 65th Bst- ' talion, was blessed by Bishop Fabrc in the Jesuit Church in Montreal. The core- monies were most impressive. This ban- ‘ nor, which is of white silk richly cui- ' broldcred with gold, bears the motto in , French, “Dicu ct I’ufrie, " God and Country, and on the reverse side is a sa- cred heart and the inscription, “ Adverti- at rsgmmi timm." Thy Kingdom come. In the sermon by the Rev. Father llamun, thc reverend gentleman impressed his bearers with the fact that the true Catho- lic soldier never separates religion from country, and, in giving his blood for his native land, he also gives it in support of the Catholic faith, which has withstood the assault of time and ofniany enemies.

A law proposed in Illinois, and favored by the Trades and Labor Assembly, deals with‘the problem of convict labor.

The bill onsets that the products of prison labor shall not besold at less than market rates ; that not over ten per cent. of the convicts shall be employed on any par- ticular lndustry,-_anil_ that a certain por- centsge of the revenue shall be set aside for the support; cf the ccnvict's family.

The idle and luxurious life lie has led has evident- ly fig:th with him; ho looks as though he had not a care or trouble in the world, with the bright, audachus, defiant selfish- ness of one who knows himself its master. Does he love Cresslda still? Is the marri- age a happy one? No one puts the ques- tion to him, and he is not given to intro- spective ret'erle. But in her long empty days and dull companionless eveningsâ€" for, afterthe ficst few weeks, Mons.eur St. Just batowed but a small proportion of his time upon his wifeâ€"Cressida re- volves the subject in a long monotony of pain. That the marriage is in some degree a failure she admits ; there is no possibility of denying so patent is fact. That they have no single thought, aspiration, or sentiment in common is her fault, no doubt; she never thinks of blaming him. If conversation between them flzgs by degrees till it dies away to a mere neces- sary interchange of orders and promises to obey, it is doubtless because she is too stupid to understand or interest him long. The thought pi: zzles her a little, for she hasuot been wont to think herself a duuce; she was certainly cleveror than the other girls at the Mistes Smerdcn's school. But then Isldoro '53 man, and a man’s stand- ard is so different, so hopelessly high, pocr Crctsida concludes with a ugh.- True, he sought her out. wooed her passionately, seemed to love her well, when she, in her childish shyness, rather shrank from, and certainly made no such weak efforts to please him as she had seen fail pitlnbly of late.

And in truth, musing and mopng thus, Crossida loses the more brilliant lines that first dazzled the Frenchman's beaury- ic‘ving eye. The slender figure grows painfully angular and thin, the sweet brown eyes are dim and misty with shed and unshsd rears, the soft curved lips grow pinched and pale, the young face is sorrowful alwaysâ€"saddest perhaps when it forces a timid propitiatory smileâ€"and suggesti':ely tragic at times. Something of this is passing through Cressida's mind now, as she gulps down a little lump that rises in her throat, and cuts hcr dry toast iuto elabaratc diamonds and triangles, which, after all her pains, are destined never to be eaten; and, though the husband and wife are not much given to think in common, laldore ‘ oogiutiug the same sutj.ct fromadif- event point of view. “Bibl' he says to himself, with a little shrug of unail’:ctsd disgust. plain she grows, with her huts air of martyr, her red eyelids, and her thin checks 1 And they say these Ergigh keep their beauty 3 Itwill be no bud- shipâ€"no, no ; the sacrifice would be the otherway-for herâ€"ofcoutso.” Monsieur raises his fine brows, and smiles lord'sth across the table, as though Cresaida’s wel- fare were a: bcu'guant mind.

As the cab rattles down the street, , Cressida comes slowly upstairs and drops laud stores that world boldly in the face heavily {mo the nearest chair, with a dazed unreasonable feeling that she has passed through some crisis or her fate. She sits there with cold locked hands and wide pathetic eyes, so motionless and miserable-looking that the brisk little maid who, all unnoticed, has removed the breakfast-service and performed one or two duties with unnecessary noise and clatter that is powerless to stir the statue- like figure in the window, grows alarmed at last, and informs her mistress, with very round eyes and forcible emphasis, that she is sure there is something wrong gith the poor young lady on the first out. . This sends Mrs. Clarke up-stsirs as fast as an obese form and asthmatic breath will permit. The visit is prompted partly by curiosity and partly by prudential motives; for, though the St. Justs have hitherto been model lodgers in the' matter of prompt payment, the landlady knows by painful experience that the ledger you trust is the lodger who deceives you ; and in Monsieur St. Just's departure itself there is something rather suspicious, As she stands in the doorway, however, looking with shrewd experience-sharpened eyes at the slender figure in the great arm-chair, her heartsuddenlv softens and her suspicions die away. The landlady retiree into the background and the true woman comes to the front. There is none of the passionate grief that suggests a woman's tragedy here. This is not a wronged woman, a deserted wife. but a dared terror-stricken child. "Mrs. S:. Justi" Cresaida starts and raises her head at the sound. “Did you want anything, Mrs. Clarkel' “No, my dear, not exactly"â€"the good woman pauses, a little embarrassed by the slip that Cressida has not noticod. “I beg your pardon, ms'am; but you do look so young and lonely that it slipped out answerer!" "You are very kind," Creasida says gratefully, yet allttlo abstractedly too. Her mind is in so dreamy and chaotic a state that she only vaguely knows what is passing round her. "Kind 1" the landlady repeats, with a short laugh. “Well, excuse me the dis- respect; but I wonder who wouldn't be kind when they see a pretty young thing like you fretting her bright eyes out all for nothing at all? Itell you what it is, Mrs 8:. Just, you're too lonesome likel" Tears rise quickly in the girl's eyes; but they are not painful tears now. Cresslda is so lonely indeed that the words of rough and homely kindness fall like mu- sic on her cars. "You, it is," she says apologetioally. , “ But, won't you sit down, Mrs. Clarke 7" I â€"â€"wbecling Isidore's own cushioned chair ' forward as she speaks. l “ Well, thank:you kindly, ma'am, ’ will ; for what with my legs and my l breath, them stairs is a re lar Mon: lBlauk toms; and I have 2 {two to say before 1 go.

These are not by any means what she expects ; they bring a quick bright colour to her cheeks, and light half glad, half tearful to her soft brown eyes. “Come to Paris at once,” Isidore tele- graphs ; “ my father wishes to see you." “There is nothing wrong with the gentlemen, I hope?" says Susan, who has waited while Cressida read the telegram. “Nothing wrongâ€"no," Cressida says, dropping suddenly from the cloudland in which she had been wandering. I am to join Monsieur St. Just in Paris, that is all.” The news is so startling that Suans hastens to impart it to her mistress, who, deeply interested, soon makes her appear- ance on the scene. There is no obstacle to an immediate departure, for Crussida’s bills are all paid, and she has a few pounds, it little more than suffices to defray the expenses of her journey, in hand; and, with these two willing helpers, her small preparations are soon made. In less than a couple of hours after the receipt of her husband's telegram, she is ready to start. ” Good-bye, my dear young lady,” Mrs. Clarkesays, regarding the pretty flushed face and feverishly bright eyes of her young ledger with vague uneasiness. “ You will let me have a line to say you reached Paris safely and found all well, won’t you? You are such ayouug thing to travel about alone." - Crcssida gives the required promise with a nervous laugh and a grateful squeeze of the work-hardened hand, then leaps lightly into the cab, and is off upon the first stage of her fateful journey, CHAPTER VI. “ The windowâ€"quickly 1 Give her air, Isidore !

One of my friends had a horse extremely gentle, and of such an easy, agreeable gait that he took the greatest care of him, and held him at a great price. A well-fed, big, and lusty frlar was a friend to our neighborâ€"one who liked the good things of this world as well as he liked to ride out to the small towns bordering upon the city of Mexico and takes dinner with the bonny Issues and countrymen in- habiting those villages. hie used to ask my friend to loan him his horse to take these excursions just around the capital, and, as his requests were granted with so good a grace, he, in a short time, went so far as to ask the loan of this favorite ani- mal to go to Cuaruavaca, a distance of eighteen leagues. As this happened pret- ty often, our friend complained to me one day of the indiscretion of the friar. I ask- ed him if he could procure me a friar's dress for a few days, and leave his horse with me for the same time. He did so. I dressed myself inthe friar's dress, and went in where the horse was. 1 took a good whip in my hand, and made him do pen- ance for no other sin but that of too much gentleness. Going out I took off my friar's dress, and went in again in my own dress, and handled him gently. I re sated the operation a few days, at the on of which I took the horse back to his master, and told him he might lend him to the friar whenever be pleased. A day or two after he came to my store. “ Your remedy," said he, “has had amarvellous effect. Our monk has just left my house, perfectly persuaded that my horse is possessed with the de vii. For when the borrower came up to take him by the bridle to get on him, he wssso frightened, and wheeled round so quick, and flew away from him with so much tenor, that one would have said that he took him forthe destroying angel." The friar crossed himself many times, hurried away in all haste to the convent tosprinkle himself with holy water, and never asked my friend for his horse again. In this case the horse remembered the dress, not “1th in 'thh ll” “"7 “"5 “Pm1 him 3 t the features of the individual who usedths and the elder St. Just, with just a uuzh of human feeling tempering his inflexible purpose and softening the hard black eyes I, that are a caricature copy of Isidore's . ma new baby was advised by brilliant and melting orbs.

Part of the large fieldof pumice, which originally started from Java, will no doubt be carried to the routhward of Agulhas bank, off the Cape of Good Hope where the currents are very strong, and turning sharply from the southwest to the south- ward and southeast, will reach the well know easterly drift, which flows all the year round, and is so favorable to ships bound to Australia when they are south of 40 degrees latitude, and eventually he landed on theooasts of Aus- tralia and New Zealand. Thus in theend many thousands of mileewlll separate what was once a portion of Java. 1 may mention that we passed small quantities of it in the South Atlantic. The last we saw of it was when we were about 500 miles to the northwestward of the Cape of Good Hope. A Captive King. The authorities of the Maritime Bos- ptal at Brest have, at the present mo- ment, under their guardianship a king, recently brought to France as a prisoner of war. ' His realms an situated near ’orto Novo, on the west coast of Africa; and while wandering about his dominions King Humbo, quite oblivious of his oath of fidelity, incited his subjects to rebel against the French, when their Marine Infantry were recently landed in Senegal. 110 was slightly wounded by the French soldiers, and being captured, was shipped off to France in very depressed spirits. Although treated with every consider- ation in the Brest Hospital, this sable~ skinned monarch declines, It is said, to take a cheerful view of life, and appears to be pining after freedom. He can con- verse with no one, there being nobody who understands his language, so he is obliged to make known his wants by signs. When requested, on his arrival the first night, to undress before going to bed, he very energetically refused todo so, and ever since he persists in keeping his clothes on night and day. King Bumbo seems to have conceived a strong attachment for the doctor of the ward in which he is placed; and, now that be Is becoming convalescent, he evinces his at- tachment by diligently brushing that gentleman's clothes whenever he gets an opportumty of making himself main] in this manner. It is not intended to do- tain the captive monarch in France. When quite recovered from his wound he will be restored to his faithful subjects. Jones is very green.

Liquid Gunpowder. One of the greawst difficulties encount- ered in the manufacture of gunpowder is the intimate admixture of the mustitueot parts, the combustion of which produces the cxplosion. Mr. Nordenfclt has ad- vanced a very ingenious and novel idea, for which he has applied for letters pa. tent. lls purpose-pinst of grinding together the primary substances, sulphur, charcoal and saltpeter, in their solid state, to employ the following process instead : Sulphur, in the proper proportion, is put in solution as sulphate of carbon; this is mixed with carbonaceous matter, which in this case is not share ail, but utton or ground to an im lpablo powder. Finally, a saturated so utlon of saltpeter is added tothis mixture in the required proportion. There remains now nothing to be done except to evaporate under disturbed crystallization, or, in up cua, to obtain a powder the elements of which, soordlng to the statements of the inventor, are thoroughly mixed, and therefore in condition to furnish the maximum useful effect. Almost allquid gunpowder is thus obtained. -..-o -..â€"_.___ Two rival country editors while at a political meeting were importuuing an old farms! to take their papers. “(Bentle- inan, I don't want both,” said be. “Well, take mine," replied one of the editors. “Mine has twice as much original matter as his." “ That so 1 Well, i believe l'll inks his.
