TIL Z Grand Medal of Honor awarded
Il our Mr.. Mccormick at the Paris EXPOSE
ton, is not one of the ordinary gold medals
distributed to other exhibitors, but is one OF
the Eleven Special Medals, larger and more
valuable, awarded only to such articles as in
the estimation of the jury demanded some
extraordinary mark of distinction for their
superior excellence, world -wide fame, and
universal utility. f..7
1t is well known that the jury did not has
tily bestow its honors that the trials in the
field were laborious and persistent tests in
cutting the most difficult crops Of grain end
grass, in The rain, completely saturated, ana
closer to the ground than any cutting ecer done
in america and that these tests were con-
tinued day after day, some of them on the
Emperor's own farm, and at repeated inter-
walls, so as to give ample time for reflection
and iudicious decision. Though several 9th
or machines land among them we are pleas
ed to observe two other American machines
were awarded gold and silver medals, yet TO
America in general and to our MIR. McCor-
mick in particular, belongs the proud dis
tinction of again carrying eff the Great Prize,
as he did at the former Worlds Fap, in 1851,
at London, and in 1855, at Paris.

the leaven of consistency wAl come too late
"a little boldness" in the Tammany Conven-
tion might have given us a harder fight; "a
little boldness" at this stage of the conflict
will not even enable the retreating forces OF
Democracy to make halt before they sink In
overwhelming defeat.
The World this morning reiterates the
position which it took yesterday, but presents
no new development in its scheme for the de-
capitation Of Blair. Referring to the assump
ton that the Democratic party is bound by
success to use the army to disperse the new
State Governments in the South, 1t declares
that ''there are individuals who can extingush
this calumny in moment, and silence it for
ever. And this" it adds, "must be done, If
we are to win the election !"

The PrOthOnOtary Ofthe Supreme Court.
THE expose which has been made of the manner
in which citizens are manufactured by the
Prothonotary of the Supreme Court and his
tipstaves has created a profound sensation
among all classes of citizens, and the fact that
the Republican candidates were defeated on
last Tuesday by means of the fraudulent
naturalization papers bearing the impress Of
the Supreme Court seal and the signature of
its Prothonotary, has aroused determination
to bring about a change in the manner of con-
Quoting the business of naturalization in the
future. The following petition, addressed to
the judges of the Supreme Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, has there
fore been put in circulation, and we invite to
1T the attention of all citizens who are dis
posed to unite in putting down knavery and
iraud IN nigh places. The petition is to this
effect:--
Ine 9ndersigned citizens of the Eastern Dis. .
trlct OF Pennsylvania do most respectfully re.
present that the careless, irreguIar ana iiIaaoI
manner In which certificates OF naturalization
the month OF September and part of Oetoher
instant, demands the immediate attention OF
your tribunal; and the conduct o James Ross
Snowden, your Prothonotary, requires that he
should be dismissed his office and a successor
appointed who will exercise the necessary cars
TO secure the community against recurrence
OF gross fraud.
The facts as developed in judicial investiga-
lion are as fOlIows:-
That Mr.. Suowden permitted tipstaves OF the
court 10 examine, and administer the necessary
andaVits, 10 applicants and vouchers, in his
absence and out of his hearing.
That Mr. Snowden permitted this to be done
10 the alarming extent of naturaliZing seven
hundred and twenty aliens In I've consecutive
hours
That Mr. Snowden entrusted the safe keep
ing OF the seal OF the court TO political partisan

That Mr.. Snowden entrusted the duty OF
hlling up blank certificates to O man who had
cen con vtcted of issuing forged land warrants.
Ihst Mr.. Snowden permitted this state of
Alihlis 10 continue after IL had been proved by
dJpdicial inves 'igstion. at which he was pre-
seni, that the system afforded opportunity for
That Mr.. Snowden exercised so little care and
,upefvlslon over the papers of MS ofhoe that
cation. with the seal OF the court attached, were
circulated throughout the State.
Therefore we most earnestly petition you to
remove from Office the said James Ross Snow
den. and TO appoint some competent and re-
liable citizen in his stead.
The charges against Colonel Snowden have
been proven in open court. He does not deny
them, and his only defense is that he has
managed the issuing of naturalization oertif-
Gates in the same manner as has been the
custom in the Supreme Court for a quarter of
a century. If this is the case, it is high time
that there should be change; and Colonel
Snowden's excuse, however satisfactory it may
be to himself, will have no weight whatever
with the citizens of Philadelphia, who have
been cheated out Of victory at the polls to
which they were Justly entitled. Colonel
Snowden has proved himself utterly incom-
petent-to put the mildest construction on his
oourse-for the position which he now holds,
and We hope that dismissal from Office will
be lesson not only to him but also to future
Prothonotaries as we'll. A copy of the above
petition will be found on our counter, aud we
request the signatures of those of our citizens
who are in favor of prompt action in the
matter.

Grand and Terrific Volcanic Eruption.

The bark Comet, from the Sandwich Islands,
brings accounts of terrible volcanic erup-
tion by the Mauna Loa, which began its
demonstrations on March Doth One hum
drcd earthquake shocks We're felt, and during
the two weeks following, to April 18th, two
thousand earthquake shocks occurred AT
Waisehina. The earth opened in many places,
and TIE vidal wave. sixty feet high, rose over
the tops of the cocoa trees for a quarter of
mile inland, sweeping human beings, houses
aud everything movable before it, The terri
bic shock prosirated churches and houses and
killed many persons. In all, one hundred
lives were lost, besides thousand horses and
cattle
The caters vomited fire, rocks and lava,
and a river of red-hot lava five or six miles
long flowed to the sea at the rate of ten miles
per hour, destroying everything before it, and
forming an island in the sea. Around Mauua
Loa numerous extensive land slides accompan-
led the other phenomena, destroying life and
property. The summit and side of the hill,
fifteen hundred feet in height, were thrown
thousand feet over the tops of trees and land
ed in the valley below The gasses that issued
afterwards destroyed both vegetable and ami
NAL life. Bottomless assures opened in the
mountain sides. The base of the volcano is
about thirty miles in circumference and is
desolatcd At least half million dollars
worth of property is destroyed. The King
of the Sandwich Islands has issued proca-
nation for the relief of the sufferers Many
visitors had gone from Honolulu, and many
will 90 from San Francisco. The worst is
thought to be over, but the lava flow contn,

1t is very dangerous TO be near tree or
lofty building; also near river or running
water because any tall object will frequently
discharge lightning cloud, and if any one
were near by at the time the lightning might
glance of and pass through the human body.
The most dangerous parts Of dwelling
during a thunder storm are the fire place, es-
pecially if the fire be lighted, the attic, and
cellar 1t is also imprudent to sit close by
the walls, to ring the bell, or bar the shutters
during a thunder storm.
Fire places are dangerous, because heat,
air, and SCOT, especially when connected with
a stove or CRATE are conductors Attics and
cellars are dangerous, because the electric
fluid, as We have already told you, sometimes
passes from the clouds to the earth and some-
times from the earth TO the clouds, so that in
the middle story must be the safest place It
is dangerous to lean against a wall, because
the lightning, in passing down the wall, would
leave it, and 20 into the body, which is a bet.
ter conductor
II is dangerous to be in a crowd, because a
mass of people forms a better conductor than
one person, and because the vapor arising from
the crowd increases the conducting power
Any place about twenty feet from tall tree
building or stream of water, is the safest
place
A person in carriage during storm
should not lean against the side of a carriage
but sit up, for the same reason that we have
given why person should not lean against q
wall
A mattress, bed, or hearth-ug furnishes
good security against lightning.
If in the open air at the time, the best
thing person can do is to stand about twenty
or thirty feet from any tall object and get
wet to the skin, because wet clothes form d
better conductor than the fluids of the body
and the lightning, therefore, would more read
lily pass down the wet garments.
