FEELINGS OF SOUTHERN MERCHANT Boston
Commercial Bulletin says:
We have conversed with some Of our largest and
most reliable merchants, who inform that the real
state of feeling among the considerable men Of the
South is hardly realized here Letters are constant
lv being received. containing Temittances, and re-
questing accounts closed. In some instances large
buyers declined giving theirnotes for goods, fearing
the worst from the excited state Of mind in which
the South generally participates. When Southern
merchants. who rarely give opinions on such mat
tiers. and still more rarel, feel Influenced by them
make these consderate statements it is time that our
merchants should act not talk. We believe the

The Next PresidencE.


The Augusta CoaStitdionalist fayors the nomina-

more than this and that something, N our opinion,
is the nomination of some southern man for the PreSi-

that is an additional reason why it sh'uld be made
For many years past, the nominees of the party
have been northern men. Indeed, within The last

70 defend the creditors Of the son. The execution
and Judgment against John Smith, by virtue Of

was as necessary in the one form Of action as IN
other and for the same reason; namely,-that as
the transfer Of the mule was valid, as between
the parties. and could only be impeached, by cred
tors of John Smith, it requisite to produce the
judgment and execution to show that the relation
of debtor and creditor existed between the latter
and the plaintiff in the Judgment and also to show
the officers authority for seizing the property.
But. though the verdict was proper, upon the
facts before the jury. we think. under al the cir
cumstances new trial should have been given,
upon terms for the reason disclosed in the affidavit
of defendants in connection with other matters in
the record.
The Judgment will be reversed, and a new
trial awarded, on payment by defendants Of all
the costs from the return term of the summons.

Thc Crater Of IIllo-A Lake of Fire.

The editor of the Honolulu Advertiser
recently visited the volcano of Hilo, of
which he gives an engraving in his paper
and an interesting description. The object
of his visit was, of course, to see the crater
that lake of liquid lava which has been
so often mentioned. We will not follow
him in his windings down the crooked paths
leading to the lake, which is 500 feet below
the top of the mountain, but step at once to
the edge of the crater. The writer says:
A few steps further and we stood ON the
brink of the molten lake. And here the
pen fails to comprehend, and describe a
scene of fearful, terrible sublimity-a vast
pit a thousand feet in circumference, with
black walls forty feet high, rising perpen-
dicularly; and at the bottom mass of ever
moving, ever heaving molten lava; now
crusted over with thin crust, which was
cooled by the atmosphere, now swelling and
bursting through the crust, throwing up
red hot lava, spouting and beating tumul-
tuously; now pressing one way, now anotb-
er, surging against the sides, TO be dashed
back again into the ever moving MATS;
seams opening, showing the lurd mass be-
meath. This sight was awfully grand. The
mind was forced back upon itself, and prob
ably none of the party that stood and gazed
and wondered, but felt constrained to COM
pare the terrible sight before us with that
lake whose fire burneth forever and ever.
There has evidently been a very great
change in the whole character aud appear
ance of this crater since it was visited by
Mr.. Stewart in 1925. Its action must have
been then much more general and extended
throughout the whole floor of the crater,
whereas the only portion now active is the
small lake in the southwestern part. There
is something strangely fascinating in lin
gering near this mighty display of creative
power, aud many persons expose themselves
to danger in the excitement Of procuring
good points for a view, or specimens as o
memento of the visit; and some of our par
ty who seemed little timid in approaching
it were the last who cared to leave. We
were much surprised 10 find or see mass
of lava, like an island in the molten lake.
1t may have been thrown up by the action
of the volcano--or 1t may be mass de.
tached from the side of the cliff and fallen
in. 1t forms quite striking feature of the
lake, and the question of how it withstands
the action of the molten mass that washes
its base is an interesting one. AT our right
was q steam escape, which at short inter-
walls emitted loud, protracted blast, like
q high-pressure steamboat. Madam Pele
might have been giving the usual steam
boat salutation to the gentleman who was
now first visiting her domnions.

The HUMBUG, ANDERsoN.-The New York
World, a new and first class daily, states
that Professor Anderson, the conjurer, re-
Gently stated at the Winter Garden there,
.'that he had visited every one of the Lu
natic Asylums in this country, and he had
found that nearly nine-tenths of the inmates
were the victims of spiritualism. The last
asylum that he had visited was in Stockton,
California, where there were not less than
tbirty-three persons who we're crazed by
this delusion." Now the fact is, that the
official report of the California Insane Asy-
lum. of the patients there, and the causes
of their insanity, when Professor Anderson
visited it, shows that but one person was
confined there and then, whose insanity was
supposed to have been caused by spiritual
ism And Anderson knew this, when he
made the statement as announced by the
World Yet several California papers copy
from the Worl6, and let the .brazen false
hood go without comment-not remember
