The Ascent of pron Ararat by Five En- ishmen. : The following narrative is by Major R. Stuart, Special Service, Asia Minor, and dated from merrecere eid 26 : “On the llth July, a party, consisting of Mojor A. J. Fraser, the Rev. Walter Thursby, Mr. James Theobold, jr., of Winchester, Mr John Evans, of Darley Abbey, Derbyshire, and myself, started from Bayazid. We were accompanied by two servants, and a zaptieh, ernative policeman, and by the kindness of the Kaimakam, Hadjee Mustapha Effendi, we were consigned to the special charge of Issak Bey, achief of the Ararat Kurds, under whose safeguard wehad nothing to fear from the plundering habits of his followers. At Baya- zid we had provided ourselves each with a ed arte betweon five and six feet long, fur- nished with a spike at ono end and a hook at the other. Crossing the plain of Ararat we com- menced the ascent through a wide ravine en- closed between vast ridges of volcanic rock. For three hours we wound our way through ragged defiles, occasionally traversing fertile Plateaus, verdant with growing crops of wheat and barley. Our surefooted little horses, ac- customed to this sort of work, picked their way through the most break-nee! places, and brought us in safety to the black goats’-hair tents of our host, which were pitched on some pastare lands on the southern slope of Greater Ararat, about 8,000 feet above the level of the sea. Hither the Kards resort in summer With their flocks and herds, returning to the villages of the plain at the approach of win- ter. A portion of the chief's tent was set apart for our use; the floor was covered with Say-colored carpets, a fat sheep was killed, and everything was supplied that Kurdish hospitality could suggest: “ At 3 o'clock next morning we were on the move, all except Mr. Thursby. who, to our re- gret, was obliged by indisposition to remain inthetent Three hours of continued ascent on foot brought us to the base of the cone. Here Major Fraser bore off to the southeast, and took a line of his own, while Mr. Theo- bold, Mr Evans, and I commenced the ascent on the southern side, keeping to the snow, which presented an unbroken surface to the very summit To my two friends, who are experienced Alpine climbers, this was easy work, but it soon began to tell unfavorably on my unaccustombed limbs. For a time we kept pretty well together; by degrees, how- ever, Mr. Theobold began to forge ahead, fol- lowed by Mr. Evans, while I brought up the rear 28 wellasIcould But my strength was fast giving way, and when about half way up the cone I found myself utterly unable to pro- ceed any further. Accordingly, there being no alternative but to descend, I sat on the snow and shot down with the velocity of an LY CRORS | *1row, undergoing ina few minutes the labor- ious toil of nearly three hours. This was a keen ppointment, amply repaid tc me, however, as will appear by and by. ‘: At the foot of the cone I found Issak Bey, who, with a couple of his people, had come out to watch our progress e looked on my fail- the others, too, must soon ev itup; but no, up they went. higher and higher, his interest and surprise keeping pace with their ascent For some hours we watched their upward course, the sharp naked eye of the Kurk plain- ly discerning what I was able tosee with the aid of a telescope. At length, at 145, Mr. Theobold crowned thesummit. Great was the astonishment of the chief ‘Mashallah,’’ he exclaimed, ‘(od isgreat !’—* What wonderful people these English are; a few of them come here, and without any difficulty walk to the top of that holy mountain, a thing that never was done by man before Wonderful, wor- derful!’ At 250 Mr Evans reached the summit. He and Mr Theobold made the ascended, and returned to the tents about sunset “We must not follow the movements of ajor Fraser, who, as already stated, took a line of hiscwn. Not being accustomed, like the others, to snow work, he chose a ridge of stone, which led up about two-thirds of the ; ascent. Overthishe made his way without HE NEXT ANNUAL SESSION OF THIS | ™uch difficulty, and then, taking to the snow, Academy will commence on Monday, Se, For terms see circulars at t he patiently toiled upwards till within a few hundred feet of the summit. Here, in at- | tempting to cross towards what appeared a more practicable line, he slipped on some thinly covered ice, and, losing all control over himself, he shot down with fearful velocity, now head and now feet foremost, over a space of about 1,000 feet. By wonderful efforts and ssenco of mind he succeeded in arresting { ‘tis perilous descent, and, scrambling with az o ty toa rocky ridge that protruded over the snow, he climbed over it with immense labos; and thus renovariee his lest way, he won the heigl: about 3.30. having been thrown back full three hours byhis mishap. He des- } cended on ihe traces of Messrs. Theobold and Evans, and regained the tents at midnight, having been “bout twenty hours on foot “On the 13:h, about 2 p. m., Mr. Thurshy and I started from the tents, zecompanied by two Kurds. We proceeded slowly and leis- nrely until we reached about one-third the ascent of the cone. There we were obliged to dismiss the Kurds, \vho, from religious fear, refused either to procesd further or to spend the night on the mount in; but, to insure their return in the morn vg we thought ft expedient to detain their .«rms, the dearest possession of these nomade ,vevple. As we had neither of us much fancy to try the ascent by the snow, we chose a new line of our own, over a rocky surface, facing nearly due south, which the wind and sun had bared vearly to the summit **Left now <2 ourselves, we selected a spot to pass the night, piled up stones to wind ward as a shel gatnst the cold, and, having dined heartily, we made ourselves a3 comfort- able as possible. We sew the sun set in inde- serible glory, throwing ‘he shadow of the vast dence of having been subjected to violent vol- canic action, being seamed and scored with deep ravines. The rocky ridges that protrude from the snow are either basalt or tufea; and near the summit we found some bits of pum- mice on a spot which still emits « strong sul- phureous smell. The summit itself is near: lovel, of a triangular shape, being about 200 ards in length, the pe: licular about 300. he highest point is at the apex of the trian- le, which points nearly due west ; rou it by a hollow is another point of nearly equal altitude, and the base of the triangle is an elevated ridge, fi athird eminence. as dvy as powder, and in walking over it we did not sink more than half way to the knee.

The cold was in- tense; and though a perfect calm prevailed at the time at the foot of the cone, as we af- terwards learned, a keen wind was blowing + = the west, — raised a blinding mist of fine snow, that prevented us taking an — views. “ < “As may be sy our success has cre- ated no small pa Ser it the country; the fame of it preceded us wherever we went. I: was announced as a sort of wonder to the caravans traveling eastward, and the Kaimai- kam of Bayazid has made it the subject of a special report to Constantinople. “From the sacred character of the moun- tain, and the traditions associated with it — the Esst, identical as they are with Scriptural records, I am inolined to think that a degree of importance will attach to this performance, in popular estimation, be- yond what is due to a mere exhibition of nerve or muscle, and this no doubt, will tell in favor of our national prestige. “On the 15th we secenied Lesser Ararat ; but this being an ordinary affair, does not call for a detailed account would only observe that, perhaps, from no other spot in the world can a finer or more extensive view be obtained This view we had the good fortune to enjoy to perfection, with a cloudless sky and clear at- mosphere. I may stste that the summit of Greater Ararat is 17,323 feet above sea level, and 14,300 above the plain; from base of cone to summit may be above 6,000 feet. Les- ser Ararat is 13,093 feet above sea level.’’ Rove Questions to a Wirz.—Do you reo- ollect wieder feelings were immediately after you had given your husband cold meat for his dinner? Did you not feel ashamed and angry with yourself, and vow that you would never do so again? Do you mean to say you have never searched your husband’s pockets? Haye you not blushed a papal scarlet when you found that they contained only some cigar ends, a m love or two, a few coppers well covered wi! —, crumbs, and, perhaps, an old play ill? Can you, also, lay your hand upon the tea- caddy and solemnly declare that you have never, on apy rare occasion, opened one of the poor inuocent’s letters?—and have you not boen ready to cry with vexation when you found that your suspicions had been aroused by nothin, tter than a tailor’s piteous ap- plication for money ? Do your powers of recollection enable you to give impartially the secret history of every “sick headache” that bas prevented your coming down to dinner?—and, also, is your memory strong enough to describe thedvarious remedies that have been empl before the same could or would be reliev: Have you never, when an invitation has come that your husband was particularly anx- ious that you should accept of, equivocated just a little by saying that “you had nota gown to go in?’’—and was not the object of such equivocation, if we might be allowed to hint euch a thing, vd oy your husband’s well known generosity to the test ? Talking of dresses, do you recollect that beautiful moire antique that you saved by a grand financial coup de mtn out of the pies and puddings? Was it fair to the poor fel- low when he is so fond of gooseberry pudding, and you know he is said over and over again, that he could dine off cherry tart? ToMATOEs—Svrporving snp SHORTENINE- ixn.—Few gardens are now found unsupplied with tomatoes, but very few persons take any ains to cultivate them. The vines are — eft to struggle ad lihitum. This is both economy and bad taste If tomatoes are planted in rows, a convenient plan is to put up stakes on both sides of each row, and nail on horizontal strips or slats, to keep the vines perpendicular. They may be carried up to the height of three to five feet. By this means, the vines will show much better, espe- cially when covered with ripened fruit olus- tering thickly upon the sides. The fruit itself will be much superior to that manufactured on the ground and in the shade Strong twine or wires may be substituted forthe horisontail slats. A cheaper process of supporting toma- toes is to bush them, in the same manner that beans or pears are ti 5 Tomatoes are also benefitted by shortensng tn ‘Three-fourths of the mature fruit is pro duced upon a small part of the vine nearest to the root, say one-third to one-fourth of its length. itis recommended tostop the further development of vines after a fair supply of fruit is set. by clipping off the vines Srowing beyond The clipping should not be carri too far, as a supply vf f-liage is required to gather fruit from the air.

It certainly was toil- some and slow, but wae, nevertheless, segiz- factory. From an elevation of above 14,600 feet above the sca wo saw the sun rise in un- clouded majesty, lighting up simultaneously to our view vast tracte of the Russian, Per- sian and Turkish empires. That was a glo- rious sight never to be fergotten. About 1,200 feet from the summit we came u on oak cross that had been fixed there in the rock by Professor Abich in the year 1845; it was in periect preservation, and the inscription, in Russian characters, was still legible. “ This was the most difficult part of our as- cent, the obstructions were frequent, and the climbing at times perilous; but caution and perseverance enabled us to overcome quory- thing, and at 9 a. m. we had the satis‘action of standing on the highest point of the moun- tain. Here I stuck to the hilt in the snow a kana, or short double. sword, which we found at the foot of Abich’s cross. Re Tr} also, as loyal Britons, we drank the health of our beloved Queen, in brandy. Her Majesty will, perhaps, deign to accept this expression of allegiance on considering that hers is prob- ably the first name that has been pronounced on that solemn height since it was quitted by the great patriarch of the human race ; for no record or tradition exisis of the ascent having ever been made before, although repeatedly tried by men of different countries, both Eu- Topean and Asiatic.
