Exploits of the Crater.

Here is Hawaii nei, vel, very few persons of
either sex, who visit Kilauea, are at all satisfied
with looking into the crater, but whets the appe-
tite for the entertainment of the feast, and down
they must go, gentleman, ladies, and children. A
precipitous decent of thousand feet; sulphureous
gases; crumbling scoriae; red hot lava, gushing
jets of fire, have few teors, when the spirit of the
very thing has been fully imbibed. Nothing will
satisfy them until they have stood upon the bor-
ders of the burning lake, and in close proximity
to the dashing billows of the molten sea, in the
very bottom.
1t is but a few weeks since parties of ladies and
gentlemen from Honolulu visited this unparralel-
ed crater, and spent hours in exploring the very
depths of that wonderful laboratory. Amidst its
heat, smoke and its deadly gasses, they travelled
many miles, examining beautiful specimen here,
sulpher bank there, and boiling lake in another
place; till the amazing whole became stamped
upon the mind as food for memory during a life
time to come.
The experience of the Yankee is altogether
eclpsed by the every day practice Of ladies and
gentlemen here, He slooked into the CRATER of
Versuvius; but here we enter it, and make ac-
quaintance with the very spirit of the volcano.
To be to do this obliged to pass through
a current of deadly gas, which if inhaled, would
suspend the BREATH and arrest the functions of the
system, but we hold our breath and rush on. We
have to cross fssure red, a few inches below the
surface, with intense heat, but we try its edge
with the pole, and make the leap. We stand up
on the bank of the boiling lake, which ever and
anon dashes its vid waves upon its rugged shores,
and sends its shivering atoms far and wide, like
the dashing of a wave upon the rocks; but we re-
treat when the danger approaches, and return
again to the enjoyment. We get used to it after
a time, and the sense of fear seems unaccountabIy
annhilated in our breasts, and we enjoy it exceed
ingly. There is danger, no doubt but the excite
ment of the moment overcomes the appreciation
of it.
We shall never forget fact that occurred on
one of our visits. We were just on the point of
crossing field of black lava, which appeared old,
solid and perfectly safe but as we were stepping
upon it, as any one would cross river on the
rough ice, jet of lava burst up directly before
to the height of 90 or 80 feet, as large hogs
head, and continued to play for several minutes,
of course we retreated little on account of the
heat; and well we did, for in less than half an hour
the field broke up, and where we were crossing,
there was lake of several acres in extent, glow
ing with the most intense heat, and surgng like a

mighty river, whose winter covering had been sud-
denly broken by food. We stood as near as
the heat would allow, and long gazed upon this
rare phenomenon. We dipped into it's burning
waves and brought away specimens impressed
with the head of Liberty from an American
coin. But we did not cross there; a half mile
further on we, however, did cross, and pursupe
our way.
We hope our Yankee friends will not boast of
having sslooked into the crater. again, but come
here and not "look" but go down into it, as we
do, and lay up a store of amazement at our own
temerity, that will last life time to look bac k
upon.
Some have been burned singed and then others
scorched, while others have narrowly escaped be-
ing..submergedi in boiling lava; but nothwithstand-
ing their hair breath escapes, none who visit the
volcano are deferred from descending on account
Of danger. Nor need they be; bright lookout,
with moderate share Of caution, will allow them
to enjoy the wonder without much risk.-From

A Knot Of Eel-Grass.

The Oswego river isn't navigable far up; for il
is cut off by bridge about half a mile from the
lake, and mile further up, it is cut off by a
dam.
Between this bridge and the dam there is rift
which is famous place for catching fish in wears
built out into the middle of river, in forks like
Y, with the fork up stream, and down to the low-
er end, there is crib into which the water and
fish run, pitching down little fall of about three
feet, and then the crib is built Of Stats, the
ter runs out, leaving the fish to be picked out by
the proprietors of the wears.
They used to catch lots of eels there, and a
rousing fellow, as big as boys leg, and as long
stick of wood, was thought dear in Oswego,
at fourpence. But, somehow, buying eels, even
if we got them for nothing, didn't suit me, and
determined to steal a few of them wears up
there.
1 told Mrs. Werts, the young widow that
boarded with, what was going at, and reckon
that she was up to them games, for she furnished
me with pillow case to bag my game, and
two pairs of woolen mittens, to aid me in nabbing
the slippery customers; and thus armed and
equipped, | set out on my midnight ceiling expedi-
ton.
When l came abreast of the wear, discovered
that the skiff which | had seen there at sundown
was gone; but as knew that the water wasn't
morn up to my arms, / didn't care much, and so
l waded off to the wear, where found and bag
ged about twenty real swingers.
My pillow case was nearly full, and was just
about to get under weigh for home, when the great
grand daddy of all eels came walloping down in
to the water, pitched into him, but my mttens
had got slippery with the slime of captured eels
that could not hold him second. There we
had it for about ten minutes-up and down, over
and under, slip slop-till at last got mad, and
making desperate dive for the old fellow; and
got his head into my mouth, and-wah faugh
what taste, as my teeth cranched through his
head until they met, and the big eel dropped quiz
etly down, leaving part of his cut water bit off,
somewhere about the eyes, in my mouth. | spit
it out quicker, with about all my inside "6xens"
with it. ss.s.
Wasn't sick For about twenty minutes
tried to turn myself wrong side out, like stock
ing; and then pillow-cased the old eel, waded
ashore, and mizzled for home, feeling as if I had
swallowed land crab, and been ridden for months
by a double and twisted attack of the Maumee fe-
yer.
Next morning before turned out, I heard the
little 'widder" singing out in the back entry,
where had slung my bag of cells
ssOh Charley Charly come here quick !''
Well, I did; and as Pm live sinner, there on
the floor, among the eels, and the biggest of them
all, was laundering great black aoater snake,
scith has nose bit off about the eyes.
Those two pigs in the back yard, had an eel
breakfast that morning, and Clewline swore an
oath never to go wading about in the night after
other peoples eels again-Carpet Bag.

Nile Discovery.

We learn that though our friend Bayard Taylor
was prevented from carrying out his original de-
sign, by ascending the Nile to lis mysterious
source, and though DR.. Knoblecher, the German
missionary, has been detained at Khartoum for
an entire season instead of proceeding directly to
the remoter interior, still other active laborers
have been in the field engaged in settling the most
interesting problem that remains unsolved. A
Mr.. Role, who early last winter had gained
Equator, has sent back an account of his .discove-
ries, with a map, which has reached the French
Geographical Society. 1t appears from his ac-
account that the upper part of the Nile channel is
surrounded by great mountains, which extend
eastwardly from the Southern Abysinnian range
far toward the centre of the Continent in a line
curving to the South. In these mountains are
nourished the many streams whose reservoirs sup
ply the inundations of the Nile, continuing as
they do for months. Mr.. Role finds in the coun-
try the tradition of white people who formerly
brought merchandise from the South: he supposed
that these traders were Portuguese, and that they
crossed the mountains by some pass which is yet
to be discovered. ..
At about the same date with this communica-
ton missionary, named Don Angelo Vico, was
at place which he called Bellenia, on an eastern
branch of the White Nile, between four and five
degrees North Latitude. What with these tray-
ellers, and with others who are scattered over
than continent it must soon be thoroughly explor-
ed. Mr. Role speaks of the practice of the E.
tl,,,
tives of these remote regions, hindering great
y the progress of both scientific investigation and
of commerce.-N. Y. Tribune. V

r RACE BETWEEN LOCOMOTIVE AND Flock OF
Cause.-The Rochester American has the fol-
lowing incident: ssComing up on the express train,
the other day, it SO happened that on leaving Fon-
da, flock of some thirty wild geese swept over
into the valley of the Mohawk, just as the cars
were under way. These geese being manifestly
bewildered, kept steadily up the river, but well
over on the opposite side of the valley, hence a
good chance to compare their speed with the
lightning train,' was afforded. At first it SEEM
ed to be about an seven thing but after few mo-
ments it was readily perceivable that the geese
were drawing ahead of the locomotive. After a
few minutes, the flock seemed half inclined to
drop down into the Mohawk, and abated much OF
their speed-the engine recovering the lost ground
but the geese thought better of it-changed front,
sought greater elevation, and pushed ahead
again in the same direction of the train. By this
time the race became quite exciting, and one could
hardly refrain from exclaiming, go, engine; pain
in goose,' but there was no need OF exhortation
as both seemed letting out about all they knew
the geese gradually drawing ahead till within q
short distance of Little Falls, when the bevy haul
ed up in the winds eye, shivered moment, ane
stood down the river again, having gained in the
race about two miles. The geese must have beer
going when last seen, at the rate of sixty or sew
enty miles the hour. This is the first race we
ed race, and though the latter had the best of it
the former did we'll, considering that it was com
PEELED to carry weight. -

Meagher's Lecture.

We had extracts from the last glowing effort Of
this magnificent orator, going the rounds of the
press, and among them his apostrophe to gold,
which is too noble to be lost although not at all
superior to other portions of the address.
''Gold, which had caused my brain to ache, has
blistered many hand, has broken many noble
heart, has wounded many a soaring soul, and
clinging to it, has brought it to the dust; gold,
which has bought the integrity of the statesman,
and led his wisdom captive; gold, which has ST.
fenced the tongue of the orator, and bought the
luscious batteries of the poet; gold, for which, in
the gay saloons of fashion, many fair and noble
girl has prghted the VOW which consigned her life
to bitterness, and locked upon her radiant neck the
snake which swells her veins with venom; gold,
Cling nation, has bred dessention among her
chiefs, has broken the seal of her most sacred
ecrets, has forced the gates of her strongest cita
dels, has bought the evidence which hurried her
apostles to the scaffold has bought the votes
which made over her inheritance to others, and
her glory to strange people-gold, which has led
the traitor to the garden, and with kiss betrayed
the Redeemer of the world; gold, which in SO
many shapes has stepped with a stealthy tread or
rioted amongst men-which has been the fever,
the madness, the despair-has been in turns and
in quick succession the spy, the swindler, the per-
juref, the assassin,-the foe of innocence, the
blight of beauty, the bane of genius; gold has be-
came the fountain of life, and joy, and freedom
the serpent has been transformed into blosomed
wand-Lucifer has became the morning star. To
you, citizens of America, it must be pleasing in
deed to behold new republic rising up to share
with you the labors and the glories of future,
before which the conceit of the old world shall be
humbed, and in the light of which humanity shall
grow strong"

Judge not in Haste.

Meier be hasty in your Judgment
Never foremost to extend
Evil mention Of a neighbor,
Or of one you've call'd friend!
Of two reasons for an action
Choose the better, not the worst;
oft-with some-the meaner motive
Ever strikes the fancy first!
Then be gentle with misfortune
Never foremost to extend
Evil mention of neighbor,
Or Of one you've call'd your friend!
Judge not with detraeting spirit,
Speak not with disdainful tongue;
Nor, with hard and hasty feeling,
Do one human creature wrong!
Words there are that, sharp as winter,
Strip the little left to cheer:
Oh. be yours the kinder mission,
Promo to sootAe, not cause tear!
Then be gentle with misfortune
Never foremost to extend
Evil mention of neighbor,
Or of one you've call'd friend!

INCREASE OF THE SLAVE TRADE IN CUBA.-AIl
accounts represent large increase of the slave
trade in Cuba, at which it is alledged the Spanish
officials wink. A letter from HAVANA gives a
list of nine vessels, which have landed at different
slaves from Africa. The letter referred to adds:
"This is but the beginning. There is a tacit
understanding for the extension of this scheme
until ten thousand more have been brought hither
on each of which is paid to officials, for winking
at it, three ounces, ity-one dollars, making in
the aggregate $4,000.
