Eruption of HIauna.
A traveller writing of this eruption says:

A traveller writing of this eruption says:
Imagine pile of ,chite-hot rocks, twenty-five
feet thick and two hundred broad, majestic
ally moving over level plain, at the rate of
about mile an hour, and you get something of
an idea of what we saw. By day, the view did
not presnt SO grand an aspect, clouded as it was
with the smoke of burning shrubbery and trees,
MS at nj ght, when the brilliant fires in all drec-
tons, lodging in and out, winding here and
there, gave a display of natures fireworks that
man never could initiate. Add to the sight, the
sounds that ever and anon smote upon the ear
the explosions of heated air and gas, as the
streams ofliquid fire exploded the hollows of old
lava streams. Sometimes space as large as half
an acre, fifty yards from the surface flow, would
be suddenly seen to rise in the air and the rocks
be thrown a hundred feet perpendicularly, while
report was heard like heavy piece of ordi-
nance. | was standing within a short distance
of the flow, watching its grand and remorseless
march towards the low country, when native,
who stood by, remarked
The most magnificent sight we witnessed
was on the day on which we took our departure
new path over the plain, we came upon a
branch of lava which had separated from the
main body, and was busily engaged in filling up
deep gorge or rayine, into which it poured a
stream of twenty feet thick by fifty broad, over
a precipice twenty feet high. No words of
mine can describe this. | here saw real lava
spray, foam and waves, as much as ever they
were seen in a river Of water. The noise, two,
was peculiar, filling the mind with awe. No
one could look on without feeling God is here ;"

Are Mechanics NOBODY 2

So many persons think, or at least seem to
think, from the manner in which they are treat
ed by certain persons who think themselves
so,nebody--and most of those who put on these
snobbsh airs have sprung from the loins Of a
mechanic themselves. We heard of a female

From Washington.


WASHINGTON Feb. 81 SENATE. = Bayard
| from the Judiciary Committee reported ad-
| verSely to the claims of Lane and Mccarthy
as Senators from Indiana. -..fs,el
| Houston introduced bill TO unite the two
Judicial Districts of Texas-the object being
| TO remove Watrous.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 3-The Secretary of the
| Treasury replying to the House resolution
says, the receipts for the first quarter of the
| present fiscal year was nearly twenty-five
and quarter millions The receipts for the
remaining three quarters are estimated at
| thirty-eigh and a half millions whereof thirty
seven millions will be derived from customs
| 1t is believed the quarter ending December
will yield ten millions; the quarter ending
| March, fifteen millions; the quarter ending
| June Both, twelve millions.
Information received by the Department
confirms the estimate during the fiscal year
ending June Both, 1857. The importations
were very heavy amounting in dutiable goods
| exclusive of expectations to over two hun
| dred and ninety-four millions: the receipts
from customs that year were over sixty-three
and quarter millions.
In the fiscal year ending January, 1S5S.the
| importations were very much reduced,
amounting in dutiable goods, exclusive of ex
| pOrtations, to two hundred and two millions;
| the receipts from customs being forty-two
| fDnllOns. Inc estimates OF QutldDle BOOuS
for the present fiscal year must reach two
hundred and fifty millions, and for the next
fiscal year two hundred and eighty millions,
| Therefore the Secretary concludes that the
receipts will not be adequate for public ext
| gencies, unless the expenditures be reduced
below the estimates; aud he don't anticipate
such result. He says if the bills passed by
| either House become law, the expenditures
will be very largely and permanently increa-
sed The pension bill, alone, adds several
millions. The expenditures must be reduced
to the estimated receipts, or other means OF
| revenue provided.
The first remedy is most desirable. Plans
will be submitted for cOditying the revenue
laws and reorganizing the collection districts,
| which would greatly facilitate the operations
of the Treasury and largely reduce the eX-
| penses of collecting the revenue. He recon-
nends abolishing the ranking privilege and
raising postage to five cents. If the appro-
priations OF the present session reach the es-
Inmates, deficiency will exist which must be
| provided for. He reterates that the public
debt ought not to he increased by an addi-
| tional loan, and advises a modification OF the
tariff He says half million Treasury notes
have been redeemed within year, aud sew
enteen and three quarter millions will be due
| by the end of June and will add to the esti-
| mated deficiency

FROM THE REV. J. K. HARwELL.

After about lessons, Of an hour each, in Phonog
raphy from Mr.. DOLBEAR, found 10 my astonishment
that had far mastered its principles BE- able
TO write the first Psalm easily and quickly in
the common method. little subsequent practice
has enabled me TO attain 70 speed of sixty words
per minute, although my lessons not yet com
peted Without any extraordinary effort my
part, Il find my speed in writing rapidly and con-
stantly increasing.
1t does not require years OF practice To make one
expert in writing Photography; for the system Of
Mr.. ID. is very simple, and his panoramic illusra
lions so plain that any ordinary mind cOmpre-
bend the whole in few hours.
Children learn It as readily as grown persons. In
the class with myself several little boys, from
seven To ten years old whose progress has been as
rapid as that Of any older member Of tie class.
This system of short hand should be taught in all

and expense would be saved. Its benefit in these
