Mr.. EDITOR Had l the ability, I should like to
give a description of the present volcanic eruption;
but | am fearful of a failure, should the attempt be
made. When one has seen the real thing itself, there
is no room for the play of the imagination or poetry
You may exhaust language Of its most impressive
and descriptive terms, and yet fail to reach the real
ity. l shall attempt no more than to give Z few
facts. On Sabbath, Jan. 23d, volcanic smoke was
seen gathering on Mauna Loa- In the evening the
mountain presented . grand yet fearful spectacle.
Two streams Of FIRE were issuing from two different
sources, and flowing, apparently, in two different
directions The whole region, earth and heaven,
were lighted up. and even the interior Of our houses
received the lurid volcanic light direct from its
source. In the morning Of the second day, we could
discern where the e~ruptions were. One appeared to
be very near the TOP of the mountain. but its stream
and smoke soon after disappeared. The other was
ON the north side, further below the top, and was
sending out it's fires in a north-westerly direction.
On the second and third nights. the dense smoke and
clouds prevented us from having . fair view Of Pc
les doings: but on the four following nights We had :
view-and such . scene! It seemed Is though the eye
