EARTHQUAKE Advice ftom the
Sandwich Islands report the occur.
oncc OF the mositcrrifc volcanic ernp-
tions, accompanied by earthquakes,
probably ever recorded. They took
place in Hawaii, in district Of Kona,
and the volcano is called Mauna Loa.
The earthquakes at times were so vi
olcnt that no one could stand up i'm
mense precipices were levelled to the
earth and tidal wave from the sea
swept over the tops of the tall cocoa
nut trees. Five villages suffered from
the visitation, eighty persons being
known to have been killed The
mountain, while in eruption, vomited
forth deep streams of lava, which
pushed far out into the sea, driving
the waters back, and agitating them
as by storm. A huge island was thus
thrown up and the huge streams Of
smoke issuing from the crater Of the
volcano enveloped the surrounding
country in partial darkness.

THEY MUsT CONFESS. 1t will all
come around right yet. After having
cursed the country with all manner
of cruelties, blunders, and lawless en-
actments, for the last seven years, the
Black Republican party is driven to
admit its blunders one by one, and TO
confess that from the beginning the
Democracy have becnright. Military
Commissions, denounced by the De-
mocracy from the beginning, upheld
by the fatulent fanatics as the life Of
the nation, were declared lawless by
the Supreme Court. The whole mass
and mess of Reconstruction legislation
the Black Republican party confess to
be utterly unconstitutional, by their
threats 10 that Court and their abridg-
ment Of its jurisdiction But the De
moeraey have always denounced the
enaetments of the Rump, as crimes
against the Constitution, and shame
less usurpations, partisan and outra-
geOus.

For half he paid TO others.

And their effect is SUCH
That when they take their daily meal,
They don't eat half as much.
And now ho finds on Saturday night
With all their wants supplied,
That he has money left to spend,
And some to lay aside.
His good success, with cheerful smile,
He gladly tells to all.
