The EruOlIOn Of VesuVIus.

NAPLES Jan. o. Cor. of the London Times
| Vesuvius so far from diminishing in
its attraction, becomes daily more
menacing and splendid. For several
days after Christmas the thunders OF
the mountain were SO strong as to
break the windows in the neighbor-
hood with the vibration, and the stones
which were elected fell halfway
down the cone. You may conceive,
therefore, what height they attained.
On the 28th there was slight dimuni-
ton 10 the action of the mountain, and
then the shocks began as violent
as ever; the crater full OF lava
boiled like o hinge cauldron, while
columns of ashes aud crystals of an
fgsno, so says my daily report, were
seat to great elevation. On Friday
last another crater was formed near the
Great Gone, and in the direction OF
the Hermitage. Out of this has been
flowing ever since river of liquid lava,
Offering the most brilliant spectacle.
From the two craters issue two curved
streams, forming an ellipse, meeting,
of course. at the bottom, and pouring
down towards Resina. At times TIE
entire interval between the streams
is filed with the fiery food, from
the sides Of which issue o thou
sand little rivulets, appearing 10
the distance like the eor7nscations Of
an aurora borealis. Since the com,
mencemement of the eruption i have
never seen it half so brilliant as il has
been since Friday. Our viaitors in.
crease from day to day, attracted by
this wonderful spectacle. Lord and
Lady Clarendon, with their family ar
rived on Thursday night; and Count
Apponyi on Friday. The Duke and
Duchess Of Aosta will arrive on the
18th inst., and g'eat preparations are
being made for their reception. They
remain during the whole OF the Car
nival, in which interval there will be
much gayety. The United States
squadron is expected here this week.

CoME TO THE WEsT.-The resources
of the West are 80 incalculable vast,
the chances for capital 80 endless, and
the opportunities for industry so varied
and abundant, that any such idea as
necessary stagnaiion is utterly prepos-
ferrous. It behoves every business man
every working man, and every other
man, to study his own individual rela-
tionship TO things as they now are, and
come without delay TO such conclu-
sion as will best subserve his own inter-
ests. Idle capital or idle hands, empty
purses, or hungry stomaches, are follies
which have no right 10 exist in the
West.

AGUE-CHILLs AND FEvER.-As the season
Tor this distressing malady approaches, its SYM
toms are looked for with anxiety by its victims.
How they yawn and stretch and shake and
burn, are familiar matters to all on whom It's
dread hand has been laid Few Affections so
effectualy take for the time the spirits out Of
one, and no maady, so Insignificant in itself, SO
utterly enervates and depresses its subjects, and
perhaps none appears more trivial ADD rldicu-
lous to the beholder.
Miasm is said to originate ague, IL what way
precisely is not very clear. How to avoid its
effects is all that is necessary for the unproles
sionaI reader to know, and possibly this is
about all that any one knows Miaam Is stat
ed to be q subtle emanation from decaying
vegetation, and is distinct from malaria, which
is simply dad air The heat of the Autumn
sun volatilizes it, causing it to ascend to the
region of the clouds, the cool Of the morning
and evening precipitating it again to the earth,
or so near it az to be within breathing distance.
A greater degree Of cold renders it partially or
wholly innocuous. At morning and evening
twilight, therefore it, is most active, and it is
most readily absorbed into the system by inhal-
ing it while the stomach is empty.
A few rules for the avoidance OF ague may
be deduced from the above: LIST. Do not 60
out into the open air before breakfast I'd.
Keep out OF The night air as much as possible.
Sd. Sleep with the windows Of the bed cham
Der closed, no matter how cool and inviting the
night air may be. These rules we'll observed
will keep off chills. Those who cannot, from
any cause, observe them, can have ague and
take quinine. If objection is made that lndl-
viduals arc known who violate all these rules
and escape ague, it is only necessary to say
that. there arc some persons who will not take
anything who pass unframed amongst cases OF
small pox, yellow fever, and other violently con-
tagious diseases.
Thick foliage, it seems, nterceps and absorbs
miasm. as will also, it is; said, swiftly running
streams. 1t has been observed that residences
in asuish localities, surrounded thickly by trees,
were exempt until the trees we're cut away,
when the residents were attacked ~ their un-
protected neighbors were previously A cheer

evening will tend to dissipate masm. a prom
inent medical gentleman, formerly resident
of New Orleans, states that he kept off yellow
fever by this simple means when it was ragln g
in that city, though hourly exposed to 1t.
