After the election of Gartlold the elder
Austin urged hia BOH to go to Mentor

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-

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

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.

eft for them to do but for Eugene to
uko the cocond place on the democratic

pcciul train of throe cars which ho was

ont them to Chicago to work for him.
lo invested largely in banners , mottoes ,

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-

The practical jokers s'ill kept up their
working on the woakncca of the old man

hat the latter would certainly bo the

When llendrioks waa nominated old Mr.
Vustiii insiated that now that they had

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

"Well , that ia whore the gagua displays

Apropos of tlio above , Mr. W , DJ.

nunlciticm uhicli ordinarily wo rroulci

) ut thia experience hna boon BO remark-
bio that wo think wo are justified iu
giving place to It. Ho ni\ys :
Dear Sir ; 1 am 78 yeaia of ngo. 31
ifo has been active. 1 am well kno rrn
u this town , and what I tay I do not
hink will bo doubted by tiny ono who
cnowa mo. Up to n year or two ngo , 1
v/as the poaasuor of eplotidid health , and
loped I should wear out my hfo gradu-
lly nnd gracefully. Two yoara ago , how-
vor , 1 win ovurcomo with that curao of
Id ngo , rheumatism. When It first pros-
rated tno the pain w&3 ao ncuto I thought
t was neuralgia , which medicil
uthoritica toll mo Indicates
low nLUo of the eyatcm.
_ I fancied that thh attack waa the be-
inning of the cud. I cent for a good
nctor , who treated mn with clcctdcal
nd other Dgencioa , but I grow wotao
lo finally unid my ct-aj waa n Dorioua
beumatic one. For aix mouths I could
lot uno my limbjnt all , and \\aa handled
> y thrco strong porcouu , llko a holpleaj
hild. Thou came n period of bolter
ecllngo , but louctlon followed , and for
iz long menthe of pitiful suirerlng I
wan confined to the btd. For over n
our I groaned in agony. 1 trlod all ro-
mtablo lotions , litiimenla , plasters and
irrparatlona , in vain. At thiii abgo ,
iy friend Elder Ovorc.iuip c.uno to coo
no , and upon hia urgent recommendation
began to uaa Warnor'rt Bafi ? rheumatic
uro , a few bottles of which give back to
10 the use of my limbs. I am now
looping without pain , eating without
intrcss , nnd fool na spry aa I did when I
vaa GO ycara of ago. 1 cordially recom-
noud that preparation ty all pcraono
illictod aa I waa , and especially to the
of cgcd men and women
whoso hat days uro embittered by thia
action. "
Mr. DoGona' letter ia endorsed by
Hdor Ovorcamp , who oaya ho ia a mom-
icr of hia church , and hia case to him
a surprising and marvelous. Mr. F.V. .
3nnkhr.fr nlao endorses the ntatcmont in
elmil.ir terms.
There ia uo doubt that this ia a true
recital of the case , and Mr. DaGena'
ospoticiico ahould bo an cncouragomont
o ull othcrj sufl'oring as ho did , to uao
he menus ho so tmccossfully employed ,
or nothing bettor , if indcoi , as good ,
can bo had in the market.
A Kelic of ttio .Revolution.
Bethleinen ( Pa ) Times.
The jubilees which are being hold in
: hia vicinity by the democrats have un
earthed a relic of thu revolution which
? oiy few of the younger people have per-
laps over heard of , much less seen. The
relic is n cannon which is being uaod in
Iring silutoa at democratic celebrations
tn this and adjoining counties. The
cannon , it is aaid , was captured from the
British at the battle of Princeton. The
cannon waa evidently intended for uao on
aoard of a ship , aa it cannot bo mounted
on wheels. It ia five feet long , with a3 |
inch bore , and the charge used ia ono
and a half pounds of ponder. It was
Durchasod many yoara ago from the late
Lawyer Gibbona of Allentnwn by the
ate Captain 0 Rlttor of Ritteraville.
The latter sold it toistockcompany.con-
" inc ; of S. Herman Ginkln or and
Frank , William and Tilghman Reichart.
ilr. Gmklnger now controls the greater
port ion of the stock , and ho haa been the
; unnor/or the past thirty years nnd haa
ittoudtd many poltical ctlebrations.
