STRICT TEMPERANCE.-Youpg Wat
kins, John Watkins, of Virginia, came
North to visit his maternal uncle, Colonel
Joseph Martaindale, very worthy man
in the vicinity of Boston, who was at
the head of the temperance party there,
and never allowed any of the intoxicat-
ing fluid to be kept on the premises, or
drank by any one in his employ. John
was great favorite with the uncle and all
the family, from the parlor to the cook
house. His visit had been anticipated
with pleasure, and everybody was dis
posed to make the most of him. After
break fast, before the Colonel went into
town, as was his daily practice, he ask
ed John into the library, and said to him:
"We are all temperance here; but I
keep a little old brandy here for my own
use-take drop before you ride?"
John took tbimble full, and the
Colonel went Of No sooner was he
gone out than Mrs. Martaindale, seeing
John on the piazza beckoned him to come
in, and leading him to her boudoir, re-
marked very good naturedly:
You zee, John we are all very strict
temperance folks The Colonel never
drinks and lets no one else; bnt I keep
q little for my dyspepsia. Could you
drink something before you 90 out ?"
So John took glass of old brandy,
and the Colonel's wife joined him in the
same. John strolled out to the carriage
house, and thought be would take one of
the Colonel's saddle-horse and run
over the country while. AS soon as the
coachman saw him he touched his hat,
and said
"Begging your pardon, Master John,
but may be you would like to tast a
drop of liquor this cool morning. The
Colonel is SO hard On US that we have to
kape it all snug; but I have some that
can't be bate"
So John drank with the coachman,
and gave him a quarter for his polite
ness; but by this time he was SO nearly
drunk that he had to postpone his ride
till the next day. John said that the
worst place for liquor he was ever in
IVES Colonel Martindale's and he had to
shorten his visit and hasten home to
keep out of the way of temptation.

SAN FRANCISCO, May s.-Thc bark Comet,
from the Sandwich Islands, brings accounts Of
q terrible voacanic eruption Of Manno Lilo.
The demonstration began on the 2Ith OF March.
On the 18th, over one hundred esrthquske
shocks wers bit At Nullna. During the two
weeks following to April u, two Thousand
earthquake sfocks occurred. The earth open
cd In many places. The tidal wave was 90
feet high, over the tops Of cocoa trees quar-
ter OF mile, inland, sweeping human beings,
houses, and everything movable before 1t. A
terrible shock Frustrated churches and houses,
killing many. In all about 100 lives were lost /,
besides Thousands OF horses and cattle.
: The eraters vomited Ere, rocks, and laws. A
river Of red hot lava Ave six miles long
flowed to the sea at the rate Of ten miles an
hour, destroying everything before It and
forming an Island In the sea. nh q
A new crater two miles wide opened and
throws rocks and streams Of nre q thousand
feet high. The illumination extended fifty
miles at night. The lava has pushed out from
the shore one mile. ...--....
At wais China, three miles from shore, a
conical island rose suddenly, emitting coll
umn Of steam and smoke. .-.r.
The greatest shock occurred April second.
Prior to the eruption there was a great
shower Of ashes and pumice.
During the great shock the swaylng OF the
earth was dreadful; no person could stand.
In the midst Of this tremendous shock an

shock lasted three minutes. Then came the

BUSINESS AND THE NATIONAL
DEBT.

We all know that there has been, and stili H.,
great depression In business. With the work.
ingmen, the laborers, and the mechanics, II 10
erphaticsliy hard times and, moreover, many
merchants, business men, and men niling tho
different professions, have reason to exelaim,
these are hard times; for the cost Of living ana
the pressure oftsxstion combined bear heavy
upon almost all classes, and upon many even
to this extent, eompslllng them to draw upon
and consume the very capital to which they
look s the foundation for business, and ~
something to fall back upon at that time when,
incapacitatsd to labor, they must make pro.
vision for what Ia known In common psslanee
as "rainy day"
think, to attribute this state OF things which
Is now upon US to our national debt. Mr.. Sec.
Rotary MeCulloch's figures, furnished Us in his
report OF the arst Of May, present more en-
coursging and cheerful aspect than we had
looked for or even hoped. By his showing, tho
whole debt on the first day Of April, was u ,sio,-
Ooo,oo and on the Hrst day Of May II was
$500, 900 900. Now, provided this state Of
things could continue, there woulJ be q sur
plus revenue at the end Of the year, or on the
LIST day Of May, 1862, Of t22s, 900, 900. And at
this rate we might pay OF the entire national
debt in about eleven years. The month OF
April has been one Of great depression. and II
may be fair to presume, therefore, that II our
national finances present this hopeful eondi-
tion under such disadvantages, we may GER
tainiy hope for, under more lively and favors-
BILE auspices which shall come to the business
world, even q larger reduction than this.
We know that some Rnanciers and news
papers are already figuring to disprovs Mr..
MeCulloeh's statement, and they say that there
IL really no reduction as IL assumed that his
