cold neglect of some and open contempt of
others, he bore himself with equal indiffer-
ence toward the community in which he
had lived once high in office. And when
about to leave Nashville, with an object
then unthought of or esteemed visionary,
but which was full of consequences, he
passed along the streets TO the landing,
bearing his rife on hisshouIder; unheeding
as he was hnhonored except by the curl

ton upon the deck of the boat which was
abont to convey him from the field of
shame to one ofglory, at least 10 the eyes

deck, locked his arms and leaned his tall
and elegant figure against the pilot-house

this strange proud bearing, the curiosity of
the crowd that had assembled at the land

rounded off, three cheers for Houston were

ERUPTION OF MOUNT HECLA.


Letters from Iceland, received at Copen-
hagen, state that great misfortune had
befallen that country in consequence of
the present eruption of HecIa fatal ma
lady having attacked the cattle from eat.
ing heritage which had been covered by
the volcanic ashes. These ashes act more
particularly on the bones of the animals
which have swallowed them. Thus, on
the bones of the feet are formed in less
than twenty-four hours, osSeous excres-
cenceS of an oblong form, which gradual
ly assume so formidable development
that they prevent the beasts from walking;
the phenomenon is then manifested in the
lower jaw, which is at the same time en-
IargeJ, and extends in all directions so
considerably that it eventually splits in
several places; whilst on the teeth of the
upper jaw there is formed a species of os-
seous needles, very long and pointed; which
take root in The lower jaw and even traverse
it,-a phase of the malady which always
determines a fatal issue. As high winds
had prevailed for some time, the volcanic
ashes were scattered throughout the Island;
and great number of cattle, especially
oxen, cows, and sheep had persisted. II
the eruption of Hecla is prolonged for two
months more, all the rural proprietors who
have not enough ofhay TO keep their herds
and the majority are in this situation
will be obliged either to slaughter their
cattle, or to abandon them TO certain death
on The pastures thus poisoned by the vol
canic ashes The eruption of Mount
Hecla was extremely violent. The flames
which issued from the three great crnters
attained heigh of IA, 400 feet; aud their
breadth exceeded the greatest breadth of
the river Petersen, the most considerate
river in Iceland. The lava had already
formed lofty mountains; and amongst the
masses OF pumicestone vomited by the
volcano, and which have been found at
distance of three.fourths of mile, there
were some which weighed hafa ton.
By the eruption of Hecla, the enormous
quantities of snow and ice which had
accumulated for several years on the sides
Of that mountain have melted, and partly
fallen into the river Rangen, which has
overlooked its banks several times. The
waters Of The river, which run almost at
the foot of Mount Hecla, and which receiv.
&c large portion oflhe burning lava, were
so hot that every day they cast upon the
banks Numbers OF dead trout, almost half
baked. Every night vivid streRks of the
aurora borealis illumind the sky.

EUROPEAN POLITICIANS =
THEIRS.

The life of this celebrated parsonage,
well known as he is, both as a historian
and politician, has been in this country
but little talked, of and therefore We think
a succinct sketch ofthe incidents of his life
may not be unintereSting, since few living
men have exerted a more powerful inf1u
ence on public events than he, and few
are canabIe in time to come of doing more
i'll or good.
Louis Adolphe Theirs, as he was christen-
ed Though he soon laid asaid the Bourbon
Louis,) is essentially a man Of the Revo-
luton, having been born on the 10Th of
Apri, 1867, the son of jonrneyman
locks nllu. Through the Iutllcnce ot his
mothers family, which was Ol good stand
ing among the bOurgeOiSe Of Marsellles, he
was educated in 6OurSe, or public school
of his native city, where, as all the south
of France then did, he studied the exact
sciences with reference 10 the army as a
profession, and moreover become, what in
those times was rare, good dentist. The
fall of Napoleon, however, in 1915, put an
end to his military studies, from which he
reaped only such advantage as Gibbon
may have done in the wriGng of his
histories, from his six moths service in the
Hampshire militia.
Having adopted the bar as his profession,
he came 10 AK, and began there his init
macy with Miguel, JOINT author of several
of The works he soon after published.
There he first attracted attention by gain
ing, under peculi II circumstances, both
prizes for the two best essays OH Van ven
argues. Thence having removed TO Paris;
by his literary labor reformed aconnection
with the Constitutional, then controlled
nv Lafayette, through the columns of which
he published those articles which familiar
lied the people TO the revolution of 1880,
so generally, that when il did occur it was
like the spontaneous act of an individual.
By Mr.. Lafielte he was introduced TO the
full confidence ofthe PARTY whose mouth
piece he afterwards became.
When the revolution had been compile
ted we find Mr.. Theirs at once a promi.
nent member of the Deputies Councillor
ofState, Member ofthe Legion OF Honor,
and under Secretary Of State. A year or
two rolled by and saw him Minister oflhe
Interior, firm friend n the new Dynasty,
and Secretary of the French Academy.
Idolizing France, Mr. Theirs had always
been the organ of the Anti Anglican party,
the alliance with England he has always
denounced, and though now out Of favor
with the King, is still popular with the
Frence people.-While Louis Philippe is
King of France, selfish ambition even may
be satisfied with the favor Of the people.
Great events are, it is not unlikely about
TO occur in France, in which Mr.. Theirs
must act high part, for which, though
but 50 years Of age, be is prepared by the
experience Of our revolutions. The last
intelligence from Europe shows him &c
lively contending for the interested OF France
against what he believes an unholy ALLAN
ce. Strange 10 say in this contest The
legitimate Berger is his associate. The
world expects much from hlm.-EUs.
