After the election of Gartlold the elder Austin urged hia BOH to go to Mentor nd present and urge hie cUima to a for ign muaion. The son did oa , the old entlomiui paying all the expenses of the rip. The tailuru to obtain the appoint- ueiit was charged by both fithor and son o the treachery of trusted friondi , and ! ioy renounced , allegiance to the ropubll- ana. In 1883 a strange man and woman ap- icaroct nt the Austin farm. They said [ ley wore man and wife , and had come rom Canada as ambassadors from Lord lalford , who had been attracted to the oungor Auatin by the fnmo ho haa mad o n political circles in the atntca and who desired to have him become the hnsbaud of hia only daughter , the rich and boauti- ul i-ndy Anno. Old Mr. Auatin furnish ed f auds ta thoao two straugora to return ,0 , Canada and arrange for the marriage , and subsequently aout them hundrcda of dollars , wiilch they said was necoesarv In the preliminary formalities of the proposed - posed wedding. Thoao two swlndlera irere evidently aided by partiop in Attica who shared in the money obtained from the credulous father and son ; and when , ho story of their operations became mown tricnda of the Auatiua interfered nd stopped the game. When the republican national convon- Ion met in Chicago last summer , letters were sent by practical jokois to the oungor Austin , signed with the namca of republican leadora , stating triat the > arty must have hia iiillacnco once more , and offering him the second place on the national ticket. Old Mr. Auatin insisted hat Eugene must go to Chicago and look fter his interests himself. Ho gave money to a largo number of persons to my their expenses to Chicago , where hey wore to boom his son. When Logan waa nominated for vice president the Lustins denounced him aa a traitor. ? hcy declared -that there was nothing eft for them to do but for Eugene to uko the cocond place on the democratic ickot , and swoop Now York away from ilaino. Old Mr. Auatin chartered a pcciul train of throe cars which ho was o fill with supporters of his son , and ont them to Chicago to work for him. lo invested largely in banners , mottoes , nd decorations for the train , and had all m arrangements made for the starting f the party , when another sou , El- irldgo Auatin , who had long in vain pro- oatod against the actions of hia father nd brother , asked and obtained the In- erferonco of the courts , and the Chi- ago scheme wan stopped by legal pro- ocdings. The practical jokers s'ill kept up their working on the woakncca of the old man and hia uon , and they received asaurancea hat the latter would certainly bo the iomoeratio nominee for vica-presidont. When llendrioks waa nominated old Mr. Vustiii insiated that now that they had icon betrayed by both partioa , tluy heuld go to work and defeat them both , and this waa to bo done by Eugene be coming an independent candidate for ireBident , which ho did. Jint before ilcction ho received a letter written on io official paper of the governor and eignod with hia name , bogging Austin to withdraw from the canvass In hia ( Clove- and' ) fiver , aa that would surely give the democrats the victory and in return .ho now president would make Austin a member of his cabinet. Austin with draw. Laat week ho wont to Albany and launtod the executive chamber for two or three dayo , endeavoring to secure the promised appointment. Ilo spent a great Joal of money nnd was bled right and left by pretended intimate friends of the [ iresident-eloct.

Wli.it n Kjo-WltiirNi lias to S.y A'loitt the UmlcrnrnuTul Now UaKltiK I Count- , Virginia , Among the recent arrivals in the cily , nays the Louisville Courier-Journal , WAS Mr. EJward B. Elder , cf Highland county , Virginia. Of late there have been reports from that section of the country of a utrango phenomena which was naul to have been witnessed in the mountains a fotv miles from Monterey Conrt-llouae , Highland county , where the earth was said to bo one burning maoa. The fact that Mr. Mu'hatton waa known to bo in another quarter of the globe gave the story some credtncs , nnd more especially so ns it was vouched for by responsible ! men. A reporter learning of Mr. Elder's arrival went In search of him last ritijit to see If ho know anything conccruing the matter. Ho was found comfortably ensconsced in a cushioned chair at thu Gult house , tslking to comp friends. When aakod if he had heard of the strange porfarmnnco nature waa eald to bo guilty of , ho replied : "It ia certainly true , and Is the most remarkable thing I over hoard of From present indications I should Bay that wo are likely t ) have another edition of Mount Vesuvius produced in the moun tains of Virginia. The phenomena con sists ot fires which seem to bo raging under the earth , on the top of the poaka ia Highland county , and the [ jrtmnd for a cjusidorablo distance sc'cmu to bo a smoldering mass. The first heard of it was n report brought by u bny who claimed to have walked over the place which was on fire. The country around is almost inaccessible , and it ia very nel- doui that anyone ventures BO far up on the mountains , therefore it was only by accident that the discovery waa made. A few days ngo the boy , who waa iu search of some lost sheep , wandered on foot among the hilh until ho got several miles from homo. All at once ho felt the air around him grow warmer , and experienced a strange sensation , aa if some burning aubstanco was beneath him. Ho vraa on an elevated plateau , probably a quarter of a mile rqnaro , on the top of ono of the small mountains. At flrst ho waa greatly alarmed , and atartodto run nvray. Ilia curiosity over came hia fear , however , and ho atopped to BOO if ho could find the cause ot the unuaual warmth. II o atopped nud placed his hand on thu earth , nnd WDB startled to find that it was no hot cs to almost bliator hia llesh Ho did not pur sue hia researches any further , but pro ceeded at once to hia home , where ho told of the strange occurrence. Ko faith was put in the narrative , audit waa thought by the neighbors that the youth was going crazy. "The news finally raadhed the town cf Monteroyand oorno eclentifically Inclined persons determined to investigate. Pro curing the boy for a guide , they wont to the place and found that all ho had aaid was truo. When they returned they told even a more wonderful atory than that told by the boy. Thia produced a great scTisatlon throughout the immediate country , aud a great many peraona wove nearly frightened out of their wito. The superstitions were of the balief that the day of judgment waa close at haud and began to make preparations ta respond to the call of the trumpet , which they momentarily expected to wako the silence of the mountains. I lived some distance away , but when the news reachad mo I determined to satisfy myself. After nearly a day's travel over the roogh mountain road , which wound around cliffs at the foot of overhanging rocka , I arrived within a abort distance of the re gion. I hoar loft my horse , andtogether with a couple of frienda who had accom panied me , proceeded as best I could to the place Indicated. I had heard exag gerated stories , and was almoat prepared fur anything , but I must confess that I waa greatly startled. The earth for yards around seemed to bo a smouldering heap , and was as hot aa an oven. In places a hard crust had formed over the clay , and largo fissures made by the heat. The air seemed very dense and foggy , and in many placea a bluish emoko broke through holea in the earth and spread over the mountain tops. Wo dug down to the depth of probably throe foot and came to a yellowish sort of clay which was almost as soft aa putty. When a shovelful waa thrown out on the ground it smoldered like a heap of cahoa , and a quantity of smoke eeonicd lo rise Irnni it. It was very hot and glowed with a strange brilliancy , which lasted for honra. Wo tried the experiment of digging down a number of places , and r.lwaya with the same results. The deeper wo went the more pronounced was the phe nomena , and wo found it difliculUto otuud over the opening. How Ijng this has been in progress no one knows , nud the moat learned are ballled fora reason. Ic ooks aa if a volcauo was at work , and eady at any moment to burst an open- ng through the earth and throw out its olume of sinokp aud fire.
