i A Central American Volcano.

America. says a correspondent of the San
7 Francisco Alta, never harms anybody.
Thcl‘t: is a church as its base, its buts
tresscd walls quite eighteen feet thick.
It has withstood the rockings and mckct
of daily (llltlkts throughwls‘u years. The
explosions occur at intervals of from three
to trftcenmiuutcs. Withoccasionul lapses
of rive or six hour's. Then the country
has ague tits. and San Salvador is shaky,
and the prescribed path of earthquakes,
which is about twenty—five miles wide. is
"rattled.“ This. too. is the width-ofthe
coal beds along this route of earthquakes.
7 Beneath the coal is the river of oil that
'is on tire at lzulco. There coal. oil ands
stream of water meet. Each explosion
of the mountain emits two columns. one.
of black smoke from the burning oil. the
other of white stczun from Rio Caiiente,
which runs out from beneath the moun-
tain. The water is so hot that it. peeled
the hair oil a mule‘s leg that crossed it.
Not only these clouds of smoke and steam
are emitted. but great stones, films and
vast volumns of lava. but they mostly fall
back into the crater. I

v‘A Rt‘uund of Blood.
A letter from Paso Robles. (‘al.. to the
New York (itwmerciai .lll'vcrr’ser says;
This part ofthe State. being oil the main
lines of travel. has always been kept in
the background. and until a very recent
period the administration of justice was
\‘my lax. Indeed. it is but a short time
since a mm wus shot to pieces in cold
blood.in a village not far from this place.
and the murderer was never even put un-
dcr arrest for his crime. The rifle and
the revolver have furnished the only law
known here. and tales of bloodshed and
crime can be unearthed which make one
wonder if it can be possible that this is
iudccd the nineteenth icutury. and that
we are living: under a (:ovcriuncut sup

The history of what is now known as
