A Fiery Fountain.

/ jet of lava of more stupendous proportions
than any ever conceived of, is described by Nh
Coan in the Honolulu Friend Of February, in his
account of the eruption of Mama Loa on the island
of Hawaii:
The eruption commenced near the summit of the
mountain and only five or six miles southeast OF
the eruption in lS45. For two days this summit,
crater sent down its burning floods along the
northeastern slope of the mountain; then suddenly
the valve closed, and the great furnace apparently
ceased blast. After thrty-siX hours the fllsia was
seen bursting out of the eastern side of the noun
tain, but midway from the top to the base
1t would seem that the summit lava had found q
subierranean tunnel for half way down the noun
tain, when coming to weak point, or meeting
with some obstruction it burst up vertically, send.
ing column OF incandescent fusia thousand feet
high into the air. This ireijet was about one
hundred feet in diameter and IL was sustained for
twenty days and nights, varying height from five
hundred to one thousand feet The disagreement
from the mountain slide was often with terrific ex-
plosions which shook the hills, and with detona-
lions which were heard for forty miles. This
column of liquid fire was an object of surprising
brilliarcy, of intense and awful grandeur. As the
jet issued from the awful oriice it was at white
heat As it assembled higher and hlgheritreddened
like fresh blood, deepening its color until, in its
descent much of it assumed the color of clotted
gore. IS II .nf
In few days it had raised cone some three
hundred feet high around the burning orifce and,
as the showers of burning minerals fen in itd tor
rents upon the cone, it became one vast heap of
glowing Goals, flashing and qniverpg with restless
action, and sending ont the heat of ten thousand
furnaces in intense blast The struggles in dis

throat of the crater, and over cone Of glowing
numerals, one mile in circumference, was sight
to inspire awe and terror attended with explosive
shocks which seemed to rend the mural ribs of the
mountain, and sounds to wake the dead and startle
the spirits IN Hades. From this fountain river of
hre a went rushing and leaping down the mountain
WIN amazing velocity, filing up basins and rayines,
aashng over precipiees and exploded rocks, until
it reached the forests at the base of the mountain
Where IL burned Its fiery way, consuming the jungle,
eVaporauhg the water of the streams and pools,
cuttihS down the trees and sending up clouds of
smoke and steam in murky columns of heecv
Wreaths to heaven,
All Eastern Hawaii was sheet of light, and our
night was turned into day. So great was the illu-
mnaton az nlght that one could read without a
lamp, and labor, travelling and recreation might
go on as in the day time. Mariners at sea saw the
light at two hundred miles distance. It was Nv.
rotechnical display, more magnificent and mar
In the daytime the atmosphere, for thousands of
square miles, would be filed with a murky haze
through which the sunbeams shed a pale and SICK
ly light. Smoke, steam, gases, ashes cinders-
furnace of capillary titamentous vitrifactions
called Pele's hair-hoated in the air, sometimes
spreading like fan, sometimes careering in swift
currents upon the wind, or gyrating in ever chang
ing colors in the ftful breezes. The point from
which the fire-fountan issued is ten thousand feet
above the level of the sea, thus making the ingen-
eous pillar distinct object of observation along
the whole eastern coast of Hawaii. .,.. -
During the eruption the writer made an excur.
sion to its source After three days OF hard strug.
Gle in the Jungle and over fields ridges and hills Of
blstling scoria he arrived near sunset at the
of action. All night long he stood as near to the
glowing pillar as the vehement heat would allow,
listening to the startling explosions and the awful
roar of the molten column, as it rushed upward
thousand feet, and fell back in a fiery avalanche
which made the mountain trem1le. 1t was such
| scene as few m0rta}s ever witnessed. There was
no sleep for the spectator. The fierce, red glare,
Inc subterranean mutteriugs and strugglings, the
rapid explosions OF gases, the rushes and roar, the
sudden and startling bursts, as of crashing thun-
der-al, all were awe-inspiring, and all combined
to render the scene one Of undesirable briliancy
and of terrible sublimity The river Of fire from
the fountain flowed ABOUT thirty.fve miles, and
stopped within ten miles Of Hilo. Had the fouu-
\ tain played ten days longer, it would probably
| have reached the shore.

The Rond to Wealth.

The impression is gaining ground that one OF the
surest and safest ways to get rich is to roo BANK
The rObber must, of course, be deXterous enough
not to get caught in the.very act When he fairly
gets away with his spells, he then stands upon his
dignity quite as much as the officers OF the bank.
He sits quietly to receive proposals from them Tor
the return of the money which he has stolen.
They of course, must guarantee him against pros
ecution and must allow him to have handsome
slice of all7he has taken, as proper reward for
hstrouble and skill, and for his condeseenaing to
give back anything. A gentleman of scientific
Knowledge and skill cannot be expected to give
eight months to job, as the robbers of the Con,
cord Bank in Massachusetts, gave to theirs. without
a pretty handsome reward. What could be more
unjust than the old way of dealing with such gen
teinen, when not only all the money til r., had
stolen was taken from them but they were
lessly shut up in prison, just as If they hri aot
Suffered enough already in their exposure aud
labor by nights in breaking open banks? What
better proof could we have of our advance in
civilization than the fact that we now recognize
so much more cordially than our fathers the talent
and perseverance required for the burglars ait
The Boston journals, for instance, recently kindled
in US all the highest admiration for the clever fell
lows who took possession of the Concord Bank at
MONDAY. And who can refuse equal admiration
to the appreciation which has been shown of the
genius of one of the robbers, by allowing him TO
80 free on the payment of about two-thrds OF the
money stolen? He got off with only about eighty
thousand dollars. Surely no one who values
brains will deem that an unreasonable sum for
so bright robber, who had to give his Thoughts
to the subject for several months. A few days
ago a safe in New York was robbed Of over a
million dollars. Already we see in the New York
papers an advertisement announcing to the Gun
ming thief that negotiations for the retnln of the
money will be opened with him. Of course he Is
assured that the negotiations WI be strictly con.
fdential. We have been told that not q few rob
berries in the large cities take place which are never
heard of by the public. The robbers are privately
settled with. The direct tendency Is 10 cultivate
both talent and taste for the art of robbing
1t may, therefore, be reasonably expected that
our robbers of banks and safes will soon riya
those Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Journal.

DISEASE IN ,CATTLE-R Remarkable Statements
BY DR.. Peycy.--New York, April l1.-Dr Percy
made some remarkable statements before the View
York health commissioners OH the 10Th concerning
the Punishment Of the COWS and COW stables from
the city. He said: "The animals were nearly all
suffering from pleuro.p pneumonia. and that the
disease is contagious A gentleman of Boston, q
few years ago, imported three animals that had
contracted this disease and the State of Massachu-
sets lost 10000 cattle which were infected from
these three. 4 bull was sent from Holland to the
Cape of Good Hope, and from that one animal
millions were infected and died, while business
was almost destroyed aud starvation produced
Mr.. Lindley said that dead animals could be seen
by thousands all over the country. bull was
sent from England to Australia, and. notwithstand.
ing the passage, the animals which came in con-
tact with him in every case were infected; but as
they, were Immediately killed, the disease was
finally mastered. This disease exists here in the
stables, and, il you break them up the owners

has become chronic, persons who have eaten the
meat OF cattle killed while suffering from This
dlsease have experienced no bad effects When if

and they become filed with trichina Cows devour
