The Testimony of the Whole World. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. BAD LEGS, BAD BREASTS, SORES AND ULCERS. All descriptions of sores are remediable by the proper and diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To at tempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the wound together is a folly ; for should the skin unite, a bog gy diseased condition remains underneath ,to break out with tenfold fury ia a few days. The only rational and successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflammation in and about the wound and to soothe the neighboring parts by rubbing In plenty of the Oint ment aa salt is forced into meat. This will cause the malignant humors to be drained off from the hard, swol len and discolored parts round about the wound, sore, or ulcer, and when these humor. are removed, the wounds themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water poul t ices applied over the affected parts, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and soften the same, and greatly assist the cure. There is a description of ulcer, sore and swelling, which need not be named here, attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently recommended aa a eovereigE reme dy. In curing such poisonous sores it never fails to restore the eystem to a healthy state If the Pills be taken accord ing to the printed instruction. DIPTEERIA, ULCERATED SORE THROAT, AND SCARLET AND OTHii/EVElti Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub bing the Ointment three times& day into thechest, throat, and neck of the patient, it will soon penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth must cperate upon the whole system ere its influence can be felt in any local part, whereas the Ointment will do Its work at once. Whoever tries the unguent in the above .manner for the diseases named, or any similak disorders affecting the chest and throat, will find themselves re lieved as by a charm. All sufferers from these complaints should envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread and water poultice, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in ; it will greatly assist the cure of the throat and chest. To allay the fever and lessen the inflammation, eight or ten Pills should be taken night and morning. The Oint latent vroduce perspiration, the grand essential in all oases of fevers. sore throat, or where there might be an oppression of the chest, either from asthma or other causes. PILES, FISTULAS, STRICTURES. The above class of complaints will be removed by night ly fermenting the parts with warm water, and then by 'most effectually rubbing in the Ointment. Persons suffer ing from these direful complaints should lose.aot a Mo ment in arresting their progress. It should be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, but it must be well rubbed in fora con siderable time two or three times a day, that it may be taken into the system, whance it will remove any hidden sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the eye. There again bread and water poultices, after the rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service. This is the only sure treatment for females, cases of cancer in the stomach, or where there may be a generai bearing down. INDISCRETIONS OF YOUTH;-SORES AND ULCERS Blotches. as also swellings, can, with certainty, be radi cally cured if the Ointment be used freely, and the Pills taken night and morning, as recommended in the printed instructions. When treated in any other way they only dry up in one place to break out in another ; whereas this Ointment will remove the humor from the system, and leave the patient a vigorous and healthy being.— It will require time with the use of the Pills to insure a lasting cure. DROPSICAL SWELLINGS, PARALYSIS, AND STIFF JOINTS. Although the above complaints differ widely in their origin and nature, yet they all require local treatment.— Many of the worst cases, of such diseases, will yield in a comparatively short space of time when this Ointment is diligently rubbed into the parts affected, even after every other means have failed. In all serious maladies the Pills Should be taken according to the printed directions ac companying each box. Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the lately ing Casa Bad legs, Cancers, Sore Nipples, Bat Breasts. Contracted tc Stiff.

Night's curtain was drawn o'er the City of Smoke, And silence, comparative silence, prevailed, Except when a burst of hilarity broke ° From three boon companions as homeward they reeled. They parted at length, and, "our hero was left To wander alone," as the novelist says ; Who, of his supporters in peril bereft, Was somewha' unsteady, I ween, in his ways. 'Twas Murphy, the new total abstinence man, And great was the issue that slept in the hour, For in his disordered and chaotic brain, Were schemes that would wrest from old "Bac chus" his power. As crept from his bosom the maudlin belief, Thatearth's pigmy populace bowed at his throne, He succumbed, a captive to dewy-eyed grief, And briars soon rankled where roses had blown. His exchequer, subject to nervous attacks, Was stricken to earth by this last heavy spree, Were Bacchus induced not his hold to relax, Death's wave would soon roll o'er the great debauchee. Encountered by financial leanness, his frame Partook of that leanness, through grief at the loss By lengthened potations, of fortut, and fame ; In Sorrow he melted like Sin at the Cross. . Remorse, double-shotted, poured into his soul The galvanic stream that was destined to bear, A million inebriates safe to the goal Of Paradise, free, or at least on half-fare. He 'rose, like the mushroom, from darkness obscure, Incited by unceasing stings of remorse, Unfolding, to credulous millions a cure For all who are laboring under the curse. Straightway all the churches ran mad o'er this man, Whose sorrow enhanced the success of his scheme; And when to the end of the plank they have ran, The "movement" will sink in oblivion's stream. But Murphy is happy, and prithee why not? Who has better claims to that intrinsic right ? Transformed from a crimson,-eyed, garrulous sot, To a lecturer fine, at two hundred a night. ALEXANDRIA, April 2nd 1877. *torß-Etlift, The First and the Last of Her, They were all enjoying the breeze that swept through the wide parlors that sum mer evening, it had been so hot of late.— 'I he month was May, the place was Phil adelphia, and—l am almost afraid to say this—it was the Centennial time. But don't. be alarmed, my reader ; I am not going to describe the Great Exposition, nor tell anything about it, nor shall I give any information concerning '76 of -either this or the last century. I only intend to relate an incident that happened to take place then and there. The people enjoying the breeze were a family by the name of Fenton, and con sisted of a father and mother, two grown up daughters, one grown-up son, and a little girl. Mrs. Fenton had just been saying that she supposed they would be overrun with visitors coming to spend, a few days and see the Centennial. "Well, let them come !" said Mr. Fen ton, heartily, as he turned his paper in side out. "I don't know one that I wouldn't be glad to see." 'Nor I," said Mrs. Fenton. "I am al ways so thankful that we needn't be ashamed of any of our relations. There's sister Kate !—who could be more deliglit- . ful than she is?" "Oh Aunt Kate is perfectly splendid !" chorused the young people "And there's Uncle Phil and Aunt Emily," said Mabel, the eldest girl. And Oousin Joe and his wife," added Florence, the second daughter. "And John and his family," put in Mr. Fenton. "Oh ! if you go to counting up, you'll never get through," said Tom, the son and heir. "But I say ! haven't we any ob jectional connections at all ? Isn't there some old duffer who'll turn up just at the wrong moment?" "No, I haven't any," said Mr. Fenton. "No•o•o," said Mrs. Fenton rubbing her forehead thoughtfully. "Stop ! I think I remember one. Of course, Coustn Jerusha ! I wonder I didn't think before. But I don't know that she is objectionable ; the fact is, I don't know anything about her. She's lived 'way up . in Vermont all her life. She is a niece of grandfather's, and is an old maid; at least she ought to be, if she isn't married or dead. Her name is Hevington.—Jerusha Ilevington. I al ways thought it such a pity to spoil such a fine name as Hevington with Jerusha. I hope she won't obi= ; I'm sure she must be perfectly awful !" The two young ladies had been , lohing at their mother in blank silence ever since she had mentioned this unpleasant rela tion; Tom had gone off in a fit of laughter; so that Mr. Fenton was the only one who spoke : "Well, if she comes, all we can do is to make the best of it, and treat her as well as we know how." "Oh, of course," said Mrs. Feutou Tom here looked at his watch, and started up, exclaiming that he should be late, he had an appointment, and bolted off, promising to be home early. Then Mr. Fenton settled down for a nap ; Mrs. Fenton buried herself in Lora Doore ; and the girls yawned over their Japanese can vass, fearing a dull evening. The air gently fluttered the lace curtains, the mellow light shone down from the many globed chandelier upon the fresh white matting, the linen-draped furniture, the pictures and statues, and three ladies in their pretty evening dresses, and the old gentleman snoring away behind his newspaper ; all was as quiet as quiet could be, when a violent peal at the door-bell made them all nearly jump' out of their skins. "Who on earth is that ?" asked Mr. Fenton, bouncing up. Mrs. Fenton dropped her book and gave a scared look into the hall. "I suppose it's Mr. Vanderpool," said Mabel. "Oh, no, he never rings like that," said Florence. Their colored waiter had opened the door by this time, and a loud voice was heard inquiring, "Does Mr. Fenton—Mr. Samuel Fenton—live here ?" "Yes ma'am, he does," old James an swered respectfully. "Wa'al, then, I guess I'll walk right in —I seen the ks through the winder ;" and apparently before the old servant could stop her, the owner of the voice did "walk right into" the parlor—a tall, strong featured woman, with iron-grey hair, clad in a brilliantly flowered dress that a bulg ing hoop skirt showed to advantage, and a shawl of vivid red and yellow plaid. A bonnet of the shape called poke was on her head, and from it dangled a thick green veil. She wore grey cotton gloves, and one hand firmly grasped a lumpy car pet-bag, and the other a fat umbrella.— She looked comfortable and common from top to toe. She peered at the group through her steel-bowed spectacles, and t:C 0 .-1 ta, co P., to Y. - HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1877. tucking her umbrella under the carpet-bag arm, she extended her hand, "Wa'al, now, I s'pose per don't know me. I'm Jerusha Hevington—yer cousin, Jerusha Heving• ton." The stricken family were dumb. Mr. Fenton was the first to recover. He took the proffered hind, shook it warmly, and led the lady to a chair, begging her to be seated ; he could not say that she was wel come, but he tried to make her feel as if she were. Mrs. Fenton then came for ward, and sitting down beside her, asked some friendly questions about the journey ; and the girls, a little conscience -smitten, offered to take her things. "Wa'al, I guess I won't jest now, thank yer—l've got to go and see about my trunk in a minute; I had it left in a grocery store jest around the corner. The young man was awful pleasant when I told him I was one of your folks—be seems to set a heap by you." "Good gracious :" thought Florence, with a shudder. "I wonder whether she has been going all through the city ad vertising her relationship to us !" "Wa'al, Samuel," began Miss Jerusha, '•Yer've got two likely gals; they'd oughter help their tn3r a sight in doin' house-work and sich. It must take a powerful heap o' work to keep all them fus.sin's clean"— with an admiring, rather awe-struck glance about the room. Then she went on, Is them all the children yer've got, Maria?"' Mrs. Fenton answered that she had two more, a son and a little daughter: Mabel offered to send fir her little sister, think ing that a child might make converse easier, but Miss Jerusha answered, with such evident alarm and disrelish, "For law's sake, no ! I can't bear children," that she drew back, offended. Mrs. Fen ton lookeil annoyed ; tut Miss Jerusha, unabashed, began to complain of the awful drought up in their place, while an awful silence fell upon the rest. A quick, light ring made the gills start and fervently hope that it was not Mr. Vanderpool—l am sure for the first time in their lives. To have Mr. Vanderpool, of all beings in the world, see this dreadful relative—Mr. Vanderpool, whose father belonged to tha oldest Knickerbacker families, and whose mother was an F. F. V. ; who was so fastidious and refined him self! It only took a few seconds for this to rush through their brains, when in Mr. Vanderpool walked. He was greeted in a rather embarrassed manner by them all, and enveigled into a seat as far as possible from Miss Jerusha, on pretence of its be ingcooler by the window. But Miss Jeruslia didn't mean to be left in the background—she got up from her chair and stalked over to the group. "Who's this young man ?" she blandly inquired, indicating Mr. Vanderpool with her cotton forefinger. Mabel, with a very red face, introduced "Miss Hevington," mentally grateful that her name wasn't Mulkins or Snooks. Mr. Vanderpool made au astonished bow, but Miss Jerusha held out her hand, and gave his an unmerciful grip, exclaim ing heartily, "I am real glad to see yer, mister. But see here sis"—to Mabel-- "I ain't ashamed o' bein' yer cousin—yer might hey introdooced me as sich." Then ordering Mr. Vanderpool "to set down on the soft'," she took her place beside him when he had obeyed. 'Wa'al now, I didn't spent to see rich a fine young feller the fast nite I come— a beau o' yourn, I s'pose ?" she said to Mabel, in a loud voice. Mabel wished that the earth would open and swallow some one of the party. "Wa'al, yer needn't get so all fired red; yer ain't got no call to be ashamed o' him; he seems a nice nuff young man." Mabel felt the cold shivers running up her back, and thought she knew the mean ing of purgatory now. Miss Jerusha, quite blissful, turned to Mr. Vanderpool, and put some searching questions with regard to his "trade." Mr. Vanderpool politely answered that he was studying for the bar. "Hum ! bartender ; I shouldn't hey thought it !" was Miss Jerusha's comment. The girls sat shuddering, and wondering what was eoming next. Mr. and Mrs. Fenton were holding a council of -war in the back parlor. Miss Jerusha was silent for the space of three minutes, gazing upon Mr. Vander. pool with such ardent admiration that he began to feel nervous. "You're awful like Linus Swinefield !" she exclaiined at length—"the fust beau I ever hed. I knowed him when he went to the deestrict school: They uster call him Piggy then, and none o' the gals could bear the sight o' him, and when he growed up, I was the only one who'd go to prayer-mcetiu' with him. My stars ! but he was powerful like you. lied jest the same kinder tow-colored hair, and kinder whity.blue eyes. I was awful fond o' him." She sighed, and edged a little nearer the now thoroughly uncomfortable Mr. Vanderpool; then she signed again, and edged still nearer. "You're dreadful like him," she said, and buried her face in a big red handkerchief, and, groaning, moved nearer still ; another groan, another sigh, made the girls rise in a fright. Was the woman crazy ? Still another sigh and groan wedged Mr. Vanderpool against the sharp corner of the sofa. He, somewhat alarmed, tried to get up, when Miss Jeru sha, with spasmodic twitches all over her fae2, threw her arms around his neck, ex claiming, convulsively, "My dear, dear boy !" Mr. Vanderpool indignantly struggled to release himself, but the clinging arms refused to be unhooked. Mabel and Flor ence stood wringing their hands in despair. Mr. and Mrs. Fenton rushed to the rescue, and in the scuffle that•ensued, off came the poke-bonnet and the green veil, carrying with them the spectacles and gray hair— and there was Tom's curly brown head confessed. "Oh, Tom, you dreadful boy !" cried the girls, as Tom sank down on the sofa shouting and shaking with laughter. It took about the space of a lightning flash for them to grasp the situation, and such peals of laughter rang through the rooms that it is a wonder the neighborhood was not roused ; but then it was hearty rather than noisy, and that makes a won drous change. Tom, with many chokes and roars, told how he had managed, winding up with: "Nurse and cook and old Tim acted like regular trumps. How I did fool you all ! but by Jove I thought I was gone when blab wanted to send up for Dot ; she'd seen the rigging up in the nursery, you know, and she'd have let it all out. Oh dear, it's the best fun I've had since I left the academy. When I called father 'Samuel,' I thought I would explode on the spot. Oh dear !" And, would you believe it ? the young scamp persisted in wearing his outrageous get-up all the rest of the evening, and when Mr. Vanderpool finally took his leave, insisted on escorting him to the door, where he bade him an affectionate farewell, assuring him that "he was power ful like Linus Swinefield." In the learned city of Boston resides a most accomplished and beautiful lady, whose toilettes all bear the stamp of worth, and who will be somewhat astonished should she chance to read this sketch, for her maiden name was Jerusha llevington.— Ha rper's Weekly. ttect Viscritaq. Antarctic Summer. THE NEAREST APPROACH TO THE SOUTH POLE MAN HAS PROBABLY MADE. The greatest point of difference between the Artic and Antarctic regions lies in the fact that the former is clotted over with numerous islands, peninsulas arid isthmuses, whereas the later is exposed to the dash of a vast and deep ocean. Ross experienced from sweeping currents and winds, more than ever has to be borne by northern explorers. On one occasion, when he was becalmed for a few hours, the dead set of the ocean waves drifted the ship toward a range of huge icebergs, against which the sea broke with appalling violence. The ships were thus driven on for eight hours, until within half a mile of the gi gantic icebergs, when a gentle air began to stir; the ships yiemed to the influence of the puff of wind, which gradually fresh ened into a gale, and before dark, to the heartfelt satisfaction of all on board, the ships emerged from their peril and got into the wide ocean. Ross spent three days in searching for land which Wilks had laid down in the chart ; but 600 fath oms of water was f;)und in the very centre of the position assigned to the land. Ross arrived at an opinion that the American commander had been deceived either by ice islands or fog banks. A few words may be quoted to show what kind of weather had to be borne in the very middle of the Antarctic summer, and in ii) higher latitude than 66 degrees. For nine days the crews alternately drift ing, hauling, m acing fast, mending snap ped hawsers, and making efforts to stern oppo-iing currents. On the tenth day du ring a thick fog, a gale came on from the north. The sea quickly rose to a fearful height, breaking over the loftiest icebergs ; we were unable any longer to hold our ground. but were driven into the heavy pack un der our lee. Soon after midnight our ships were involved in an ocean of floating fragments of ice, hard as floating blocks of granite, which were dashed against them by the waves with so much violence that their masts quivered as if they would fall at every successive shock, and the destruc tiGn of the ships seemed inevitable. In the early part of the storm the rudder of the Erebus was so much damaged as to be no longer of any use, and about the same time I was infirtned by signal that the Terror's was completely destroyed, and nearly torn away from the stern post. Hour passed away after hour without the least mitigation of these awful circum stances in which we were placed. Whenever the gallant commander got south of 60 degrees or so, then the battling with ice began again. He once touched, as we have said, the 78th parallel of lati tude, and in all probability no human being has ever made a nearer approach to the south pole—less by three hundred or four hundred miles than the approach which has recently been made to the north pole. What we know of the south pole then, is simply this—that nobody has got within 700 or 800 miles of it ; that icy barriers are met with quite eclipsing anything known in the north frigid zone; that mountains have been seen (one shooting forth volcanic flames) loftier than any dis covered by our northern explorers ; that all the land is covered with snow at all seasons, that no human being has been met with beyond the 56th degree of latitude; that no vegetable growth, except lichens, has been seen beyond 58; and that no land quadruped is known to exist beyond sixty six. After Dinner Naps. No wonder if half the world knows how pleasant it is to take an after dinner nap, and what a relief it is to the overburdened brain—or stomach. We used to know a lawyer who took his nap every day after dinner on three chairs, and that lawyer, if he continues the practice, will die an old man. If there is any one time when a man is forced to exert himself, whether in muscular or brain labor, to work, it is after the noonday meal. If' ail men could only rest, not one hour, but two hours, and put the extra time on the closing hours of the day. what an improvement would be made in their health. Whether he be a farmer or a mechanic, or a professional man, a good rest after dinner leaves the man in a better condit.on fn. hard labor than even in the morning. We once work ed for a fanner in harvest, who always made an agreement with his workmen to work ten hours a day, and from twelve o'clock to two no work was to be done un• less in case of emergency, a threatened rain or something that required extra exertion. Didn't we have glorious times sleeping un der trees after dinner ! We always used up three quarters' of an hour at the table and then slept one hour and a quarter during the heat of' the day. The result was the men were never overworked, and the farmer got more labor from his men than any of his neighbors, though their men often worked twelve hours a day. When two o'clock came the hands were all in good trim, completely rested out, and they could do double the work with more ease than if they had commenced work at one o'clock. A single hour's rest' at the proper time worked wonders with them. THEY had a tough subjeet in the in• quiry room this week. Moody wrestled with him, and Sankey sang with him, but the man seemed to despair of forgiveness. Finally Moody asked him what heavy sin burdened his mind, and be confessed to having beat a newspaper publisher out of three years' subscription. The evangelist informed him that they did not profess to perform miracles, but if be would settle up his dues, with compound interest, and pay for three years more in advance, al though they could not open the doors of the church to him, perhaps he might be snaked in under the canvas.—Boston Bul letin. "HAVE you blasted hopes ?" asked a young lady of a librarian with a handker chief tied over his jaw. "No, ma'am," said he, "it's only a blasted toothache."

Starting out, they could see that the snow was low down on the mountains. and that threatening storm clouds clung about their summits ; and, as ifto add present incon venience to impending danger. they en countered the fiercest hail-storm they had ever known Five miles from the railroad station they were confronted with gloomy accounts of the state of the mountain ahfail of them. The guides and miners had all come down and unanimously declared that no such storm had occurred at that :44,3,5. for the past fifty years. and that ascent was simply imposs;ble for several dip come. Time being limited. they determined to go ahead despite the tales and warnings showered upon them. On the evening n( the 10th of February they reaeied the cave of the sulphur miners at the foot nr the abrupt ascent of the vokano. Tho cave. which the Indiana call I,i Squta Cruz, is about six leagues out of frlialchicomula, and is the last rest inz Owe before one launches hiniseq' out on the frozen (.I:!sert. It is nothing ne , re than a hole in under some shelving r, ek4, tw-en twelve and thirteen thousand fc,,t ihnv.c the sea, and at thy' time the v! , it was well up into the sn , .w line. 31r. iii -bard son says : Farr severalhours our path h:i.l wound up through the desolate ravin.:.s which sep arate the Sierra Negri from the peak. Great masses of volcanic rock were observ ed in fantastic shares on every side. and on the entire face of the country. half cov ered with snow, could be read the si.zns the savage convulsions which some day must have shaken the hills to th-ir firm. elation. A pole was secured for our flag, twn ex tra Indians hired to help carry oar blank ets and provisions, our tees carefully b.►nd aged in woolen cloths an I shod with Indi an guararlis, spectacles and scarfs placed ready fn. use, and everything was prepa red for tho early start. ft was decided that Murphy and I should start in the morning. and 2 o'clock was the hour fixed upon for turning out. When I awoke I could see the boys lying around in all sorts of posi tions, and they looked so comfuatable that I hated to disturb them. Murphy lay with his body halt' out of doors and an empty tequila bottle under his head. Plows had a loaf of bread fir a pillow, and rested one leg composedly across the stomach of one of the Indians, while Vigil and Rodriguez, who had rolled themselves into a huge tote in one corner of the hut, seemed to be in imminent danger of being trampled up on by a mule who was gradually working himself into the place in order to get c:oser to the fire. At length a start was made, Morp!iy and myself and fur Indians in the party. As we were the first to go up after the heavy'storms, we went prepared to have a tough climb. The Indians said we wpold reach the top by 10 o'clock, which was giv in;.,, us seven hours to do it in. Under or dinary circumstances, and when the snow is in ate best condition, the sulphur min ers go up in five or six hours from the cave, but on the present occasion they had underestimated the difficulties. It was so dark and the canon was so des p and uncertain that for the first half hour we were guided more by the sense of feel ing than that of sight ; but our eyes soon became accustomed to the darkness, and as the guides marched straight ahead, ap parently guided by an instinct as unerring as that of a bloodhound, we gained more confidence, and were soon stepping ,l'ff in to the blackness as though it were our na tive element. Morphy got himself up to such a pitch of confidence that on oce oc casion he stepped over a bank ten feet high, and it took three guides to get him out ;- but he has never yet acknowledged that he could not see. Oa reach . n7 the snow there was no trouble about finding the way, as the reflection is sufficient on a starlight night to make every foot-track visible. Sunlight found us on the south side of the mountain on a level about eptal to the height of the Sierra Negra. The ascent now began to be very laborious, and fur the first time we bean cutting fotsteps in the ice in order to. proceed. When half way up the mountain the route usually taken is along a ledge of rocks which reach ts up out of the snow like the dorsal tin of a shark, and runs clear to the top. En this respect Orizaba differs very much from its kindred peak, Popocatapetl. Sharp, jag ged points of rock stick out all over its stir face like the spines of a porcupine, while the summit of Popocatapetl is a dean, un broken cone. These rocks on the slopes of Orizaba are one of the principal sources of danger in the ascent, as they often come tumbling down in great quantities ; but at the time of our adventure. they were all held fast by the tmusnally heavy fall of snow. This was a point in our favor ; but if we did not have to dodge rocks there was no lack of' active operations in other respects. The higher we went the more abrupt be came the ascent and the more uncertain the foothold. Ten o'clock came around and the summit was still far above TM Ev ery step now had to be cat out of the solid ice, and the fatigue and light air were be ginning to tell on our uninitiated muscles. At 11 o'clock we were at the foot of what is known as the rocks of the irrrepentim;en to, This is the last grand pull, the home stretch, and it could not he more appropri ately named. It is probably not over three hundred yards to the top, but it is almost a perpendicular wall of ice, and as it is reached when the adventurer is already fainting and about ready to give up. it is a formidable obstacle. We were three hours in getting over it, and then, almost faint ing and completely exhausted. we threw ourselves down on a little shelf of sand at the top of the peak. It was '2 o'clock in the afternoon when we reached the summit, just 11 hours after our departure from the cave. Two of our Indians left us now and slid down the mountain with the understanding that they were to come up for us early the out morn• ing. It seems that they preferred dist, inz the mountain again to speeding the night on its top. but in Whitt, the thing over afterwards Morph] and I have ease to the conclusion that there ids ant ante% choice. .1 more horrible night I sewer hope to rove shortly after mir serissi cold wind came up that airrtek as to the very bone.
