One Hundred Houses s,ccpt of.-The
Rev. Mr.. Coan, of tile Sandwich Islands,
in letter 10 his brother, published in the
Evangelist, describes a scene of terror,
Witnessed one evening al Hilo, during the
progress of protracted meeting, held there
in November, as follows:
81 opened the meeting with a sermon
from The text, "Prepare ye the way of the
Lord" God wroug hit for us. Hundreds
gave evidence Of conversion. On the
second day, at evening, God came in Ter
ror! The sea rose suddenly TO The per-
peudicular height of Is or 20 feet, and fell
in one mountain wave, sweeping away
nearly 100 houses, heir tenants and eli.
fects. All was sudden as a peal of ,hun-
der. No promonilions were given. None
had time to flee. There was no earth
quake, and no visible cause of the pho
nonena. The scene was awful. In
moment hundreds were cngulphed. The
roar of the raging sea was deafening, and
the loud, piercing cries of distress, were
hear, rcuding! Only eleven were drown
ed; but FIVE have died since of injuries re-
ceived in the waler. Had the catastrophe;
been at midnight, or had the people been
less amphibious, nuudreds must have per-
ished. To drown native of these islands
would be almost like drowning a whale; 50
much are they al home when they are in
the water.

1t is stated on the authority of one of
the late owners Of the Baltimore Chronicle,
that, since its commencement a few years
ago, one hundred and fifty thousand DOL
lars have been sunk in carrying it on.
" This, (says the Baltimore Post is an
immense sum, but it will not surprise those
who know any thing of the infatualion of
newspaper. publishing. There is no pur-
suit IN which men embark with so blind
calculation Of the chances of success as in
this. And there is none which they so re.
luclantly abandon, even when practical
knowledge should convince, that failure is
inevitable. Almost every newspaper is
gradually, though often very slowly, in
creasing in patronage, and the publisher
is thus lured onward, believing that the
struggle, little longer continued, will
place him on safe footing. And then.
when he looks over his books of accounts,
and sees wha, goodly show his patronage
makes, as there erlibited, another irresisti-
BILE lure is presented, and he struggles on,
hoping against hope, and only years of un-
availins toll, aud too often bankruptcy a.
lone, can convince him of The difference
between his income as charged on his
hooks. and as actually received in cash iu-
10 his treasury"

Editing Ncwspapsr.-The following
sensible and correct remarks are from The
New York Sun-read:
Editing newspaper is no easy task
Many persons estimate the ability of
newspaper and the industry and talent of
its editor, by the variety and quantity of
editorial matter it contains. Nothing can
be more fallacious. 1t is comparatively
an easy task for writer to pour out daily
columns of words, upon any and all sub
jects; his ideas may flow freely; and his
command Of language may enable him
to string them togetherlike bunch ofon-
ions, and yet his paper may be a meagre,
poor concern, after all. But jndicious
well informed editor, who exercises bis vo-
Gallon with a ullconviction and conscious
ness Of the responsible duty he has to per-
form, will conduct his paper with The same
cure and assiduity, that clever lawyer
bestows upon suit, or humane physi-
clan upon patient. Indeed. Tue mere
writing part ofediting paper is but small
portion of the work. The care, the taste,
the time employed 10 selecting, is far more
important, for the tact of good editor is
shown more by his selections than in any
thing else; it is half The hattie. But (as
before observed) all editor oush; to be es-
tima'ed and his labor appreciated by the
general conduct Of bis paper-its tone, It's
temper, its manner, its uniform consistent
course, its aims, its manliness. its courtesy,
its dignity, its propriely. To opreserve all
these as they should be preserved, is o.
nongh fully TO occupy the time aud alten-
ton of any man. But if TO this be added
the general supervision of tho establish
ment which most editors have TO do, it
will appear that editing newspaper is no
very easy task.
