Now I will have a wing, ' Gwalter, my son, if you are sure they have not ' given us an owl. I’m told they often serve owls, and Mr. Murray says they eat everything that fließ and tho cooks are all a kind of Fenians, you know. Eoh! That is a steamer! She is coming , in frqnr Capri. It is tho Sisjwsla. Take your . papa’6 binocular from Boadicea, Gwalior, and 'see if it is not the Itisposta. I’m convinced it is the Msposta, and that i 6 sulphur on your cap-I am confident.” 8o spake tho British Mother, Bitting on Vesu vius. I had met her at Various points,,but in variably in a sitting attitude. As I was studying the Moses, in Borne, I had been first struck with her, marshalling her husband and little flock into the lonely church. They advanced towards the statue in a phalanx, along the nave, keeping perfect” step, and marked separately about the waist with a singular red spot, which was dimly repeated in the gleaming floor below. Approach ing nearer, the spots developed into Bix Murrays, held in their right hands, which were trussed before them. The mother unfolded a cane stool before the statue! the rest stood up in a row, and they all consulted their Murrays silently, in a kind of rite. Then the mother said, “My dears, the head has been compared to that of a Goat" At Naples, I had constantly seen them on Chiaja, mingling with* Respectability in six gigs. This morning they had given me my first grievance. They bad cut me out at Kesina, arriving before me and getting the last horses, so that I was obliged to ascend Vtsuvius afoot. "But that is no hardship,” said Luigi, the guide, “since the air is fresh and our feet are merry. And he danced a little of the tarantella, and asked me for a few baiocchi. Vesuvius is but a mild hill to those who have subjugated the American mountains. Any one familiar with the ascent of Mount Washington from the Crawford House has exercised far more of the qualities of the pioneer than aro called out here. I could find you more difficulties among the slopes of Catskill. Luigi was the most snper>- fluons of men, and I should have enjoyed promo nading up Vesuvius with a cane, all alone, as much as any walk I ever had among thtTdeflles of lVissahickon. But Luigi, like many other Italian superstitions, was- gray, opinionated, exacting and a little expensive, and I gave him my coat and threw him the few baiocchi with serenity. I am no reformer, and could never relieve Italy of all its Luigis. He was not without his advantages either. The side of .Vesuvius is covered with a huge raking of exaggerated clinkers, that turn under foot, ring against their neighbors, excite an emeute, roll away, and carry you down in a little avalanche If ■you are not careful. Luigi, from long experience, could tell which block would- turn and which would’not, and how to set his foot directly over the fulcrum. He did this in the most unconscious way, selecting the firm footing by something in stinctive. By simply clapping my foQt with pre cision in the place just vacated by his own, I avoided errors, purchasing in fact some forty years’ Vesuvian experience with my few baiocchi. ■Clang! went the iron-headed cowskin of the guide, and tang! my own calfskin, with mechanical regularitv. ever the lavas that might have been annoying stumbling blocks to these Bash Steps if unassisted. Just ahead, with a little thick club, scampered Luigi, in such wise that his short Hick and solid black arm made an extra leg for him: just behind, with a hand glad enough to lay down the pen, Tjnapipulated a scorched and experienced alpenstock. We soon overtook the British Mother, ruling her band from the hinder most pony. "Wc are-now," I heard her say, “upon the Java of ITbl. and nearly two thousand and eighty feet above the Mediterranean at mean tide." Let me relieve you at once of any misconcep tions about the top. My own misconception was disastrous. I had supposed the summit to be an observatory in dreamland, with Fancy wheeling a powerful glass over the sad tormented paßt. I thought I should have seen Pompeii, as of old, first Derfect, then swept from existence by a ter rible cloud. I thought I should have seen the wild citizens scattering from the circus with in effectual torches; the anonymous scholar going moaning from Herculaneum, unable to save his papyri, and Plineus, standing rocking in his galley, as he called out: “Fortune helps the brave, pilot: make way to Stabia?.’’ I thought I might have seen Nero reeling off from the tragic stage of Neapolls, scared by an earthquake. I thought I might have seen the angry mountain darkening the dork ages with added terror, •crumbling the citadel, violating the nunnery,shak ing into formless mounds the villages through which the pale monks were going in procession with amulets and relics. I saw instead the British Mother sitting upon an artist’s stool, accidentally cushioned with oranges, rehearsing emotions and data to hor daughters. I saw broken wine-bottles, medals oi Victor Emmanuel set in lava, emptied Bardino boxes, orange-peel, a knife-blade, a bit of a blue veil from the hat oi the British tourist. It was my own fault I know, but that was about all I saw. There was no flame,scarcely any steain,nothing of what excited American imagination pictures in a crater. But the frightened lava had been whirled into the wildest forms, and readily sug gested the harsh panic In which its blood had curdled- A photograph of a bit of the mountain side reminded me strangely of Donfs illustration of Dante's Second Circle, with the legionß of tor tured lovers embracing as they fled and twisted through the darkness. . It is not from Vesuvius, but from the twin peak of Sornma, that the geological specimens and lava of Roman periods are found, forty or more varieties are exhibited in the Observatory, from coarse limestone and magnetic aerolites up to garnet and lapit lazuli. Fossil shells, once moving across the bgttpni ot the Bay, are now found fixed in the bottom of the Somma. Be side this interesting little museum stands a, bat tery and telegraph, on the watch like a sailor upon the topmast. The eruptions, being at tended by electric changes, predict themselves, dad the citizens below may always be notified of danger an hour or so in advance. “That is all!" said the British Mother, conclu sively, shutting up her Murray at a certain mo rnent. “ We will go down now, children." . Ton descend by another track, where, instead jof lava, a deep moss of ashy dust is found un derfoot. Flying down through thiß Bolidlficd cloud witli the force of a projectile, I found myself arrested by a soft and warm obstruction. It turned out to bo tho British Father, a character I had not particularly noticed. “Sir," said I, “ I beg your pardon.” ‘ “ Sir, 7 said he, “ I believe ‘ I shall roll. I’m a heavy man, and I stick at every step up to the middle of my thigh. And the muscular power required to resist my momentum is something prodigious. The Indies have got the guide I’m sure I don’t know where, and there will be nobody to be shocked., lam agoing to roll.” He was far from hilarious, and very purple. I let him have my guide, whose duty was solely to hold him back, with his utmost force, by some thing passed around his waist. For my own part, I felt like a bird let loose, or like a bather lifted forward by a breaker, as I yielded to gravitation and plunged rapidly down, with seven-league, steps, through the sinking dust.

The “bulls” were disgusted, and the array of “hears” was too small and too feeble to make any impression. Government Loans were a traction lower, as will be seen by a glance at the ac companying quotations. The demand for money is increasing, and the calling in ofloans and the exacting of larger margins tends to increase the general depres sion. Reading Railroad closed 50% bid, 51 asked.
