A VOLCANO AT WoRK.-A correspondent of
the Alta Californian gives the following Incl
dent OF visit to the volcano Kilauea-not
the celebrated Mauna Loa-in the Sand wich
Islands, thirty-six miles from HiIo:
The most wonderful, and ito us) mysterious
phenomenon we witnessed, was on the second
day of our visit to the crater 1t was noon,
and we were sitting on high bank at lunch.
had turned my face in the direction of the
wind, to avoid the intense heat of the lake.
WAS startled by noise like the rushing to-
gether of vast bodies Of water The natives
jumped up instantly, and raising an unearthly
shout, scsmpered eff in an opposite direction.
Turning toward the lake, / beheld scene
which l shall never forget. /, too, had to run
OF some distance to escape the great heat.
The whole surface of the lake was in a state of
the widest commotion. Wave cIashed on
wave, and all was confusion Tremendous bill
lows of FIRE rolled from every side of the lake,
and meeting in fierce conflict around the
island in the centre, broke with fury over its
black sides. Then, after receding again, they
rushed to the onset once more, with increased
force, and, meeting together, shot up int air
perhaps one hundred feet, one vast spiral bod y
of red liquid lava, which finally combed over
and fell in graceful spray back into the lake
again. When things had been restored to their
usual order, the surface Of the lake seemed 10
have fallen at least ten feet.

A SCENE IN THE House OF LoRDs-What a
pageant of splendor and Of grandeur was here
presented, The floor Of the House was packed
with wives, daughters and sisters of the peers
IN full dress, leaving only a narrow space in
the center, which was occupied by peers and
bishops in their scarlet robes. The entire gal.
lery which surrounds the House was filled with
a row Of elegantly dressed ladies, only broken
by line Of reporters; the benches, one rising
above the other, were filed with ladies Pres
entity the trumpets sound, the signal that the
Queen is approaching. She leaves the palace
in her magnificent state carriage, drawn by
eight crearn-colored horses, attended by her
Minister and household officers in Carriages
liHle less sumptuous than her own, escorted by
the Life Guards, all mounted on noble black
horses-the whole cortege forming a magnif
cent spectacle. In ahghting from the carriage
her Msjestys foot presses an electric wire,
which fires cannon in the park. The usher
OF the golden rod gives a signal, and suddenly
every lady in the house rises and throws off
her mantle, and a more beautiful revelation
can hardly be imagined, surely not described.

Why Do CHILDREN DIE?-The reason why
children die, says Halls Journal of Health, is
because they are not taken care of From the
day of their birth they are stupefed with food,
choked with physic, sloshed with water, suffo-
Gated in hot rooms, steamed in bed clothes
SO much for indoor. When permitted to
breathe breath Of pure air, once week in
summer, and once OF twice during the colder
months, only the nose is allowed to peer in day
light. A little later they are sent out with no
clothes at ali on the parts of the body which
most need protection. Bare legs, bare arms,
bare neck, girted middles, with an inverted
umbrella TO collect the air and chill the other
part of the body. A stout, strong man goes out
in cold day with gloves and overcOat, wooIen
stockings, and thick double-sOled boots with
cork between and rubbers over The same
day, child Of three years old, an infant of
fash and blood, and bone and constitution.
goes out with shoes as thin as paper, cotton
socks, legs uncovered to the knees, neck bare;
an exposure which would disable the nurse,
XII the mother outright, and make the father
an Invalid for weeks. And why? To harden
them to a mode of dress which they are never
expected to practice To accustOm them to
exposure which dozen years later would be
considered downright foolery To raise chill
dren thus for the slaughter pen, and lay it to
the Lord is too bad. We don't think the Al
mighty had any hand in it. And to draw
comfort from the presumption that He had
any agency in the death Of the child, is a pre-
sumption and proclamation.

Posr OFFICE REFORM IN New YoRK-The
journal of Commerce says: " Although Gen.
DIX has been at the head of the New York
post othce only about six weeks, he has effected
some very desirable reforms in the transaction
OF postal business, and has inaugurated a sys-
tenn OF economy which will save many thou
sands Of dollars to the Government annually.
Sufhclent time has not elapsed since he as
sumed the Office to furnish a comparison be-
tween the average monthly receipts under his
administration and that of Mr. Fowler. but it
is certain that they will be largely increased.
The gain from those sources will be over and
above that made by the reduction of Office ex-
penses, without, In any degree, stinting the
necessary supplies. The items for printing
blanks, bills, 6c., have been cut down about
three e-fourths, for stationery nearly one-half,
and for mail-bags over one-third. There is
also large class of expenditures under no
specific heads, where the introduction of a iu-
dlclous economy is saving large sums Thirty
SIX weekly newspapers have been deprived of
the advertisements of steamship departures.
which are now given only to the daily press.
The public, however, will remain Just as well
informed of those departures now as ever, for,
IN most cases, the advertisements did not ap-
pear in the weeklies until after the steamships
had sailed; and it was for that reason that the
postmaster concluded to cut them off from the
patronage Of the Department. General Dix is
deyoting himself assiduously and energeticalIy
to the duties Of his Office, and finds that thew
are neither simple nor light The improve
ments which he has thus far introduced are
probably but the precursors of others which
VIII be made as occasion requires"
