One hundred and ffty raftsmen came
on board the boats Davenport, and the
clerk ordered two Of the negro deck
hands TO stand guard at the gangway
and not TO let any one pass without his
permission. One of the rafGmen tried
to pass this guard and make his way 10
the cabin, when the deck hands Or
dered him back until his ticket was ex.

this, commenced pitching into the deck
hands, who got the best OF him, when
the rAftsmen 10 the number Of over one
hundred came to his rescue, stabbIng
and beating the two deck hands till
about dead, then throwing them into

A NEW theory Is Invented to account
for the fact that volcanoes are generally
found on lslandS, or near thh sea-coast.
It seems very plausible one, and may
perhaps commend itself to favor with
sclentinc men. Mr.. Wallace, In his
charming and instructive volume on
"The Malay Archipelago" published
by the Harpers, suggests It, and gives
some very pertinent facts In Its sup.
port. he found that the waters sepa-
rating the islands OF the Maylayan Sea,
and also dividing them from the main
land are very shallow, and that the In.
dicatIons are numerous that the Is
lands were all once connected together
and with the continent. The separa-
tion seems 10 have been comparatively
recent, and 10 have been affected by
the subsIdence Of the intervening lands.
Mr.. Wallace, therefore, suggests the
theory 10 account for The subsldeuce
He says. ut 10 TO be remarked that the
great chain OF active volcanoes In Sum-
atra and Java furnishes rs with sun d.

the enormous = masses OF matter they
