Hawthorne on Lincoln.

Mr. Fields article 10 the Atlantic Monthly
for April, on hawthorne, contains the fol-
lowing interesting sketch Of President Lin
coin. which has not hitherto been in print.
Mr. Fields writes
.' After his return home from Washington,
Hawthorne sent TO me, during the month of
May, an article for the 4HaHtic Monthly,
which he entitled Chi fly about War Nat
ters' The paper, excellentiy well done
throughout, Of course, contained descrIp-
ton OF President Lincoln, which / thought,
considered as a portrait of living man, and
drawn by Hawthorne, 1t would not be wise
or tasteful to print. The Office Of an editor
dear Jack, Is a disagreeable one sometimes,
and the case Of Hawthorne on Lincoln dis
turbed me not little. After reading the
manuscript | wrote to the author, and asked
his PERMISSION to omit his description OF the
President personal appearance. As usual,
for he was the kIndest and sweetest Of con-
trIbutors, the most gOod-natured and the
most amcnable man to advise | ever knew,
he consented to my proposal, and allowed me
10 print the article with the alterations. Ii

NeSuViuS in A Agitation.

After months OF small threatenlngs, and
many opinions from Professor Palmlerl,
our old volcano, writes 4 Naples correspond
ent of the boston Adrerf-er. has been true
to ITS average of the past thirty years and
has begun Its new eruption just at the ex-
piration Of a two-year period since the end
ing of the last preceding one. As yet,
there Is nothing magnificent in the sight or
destructive IN the action of the mountain
but Palmieri, who was right in predicting
this new outbreak, which be deduced from
the unsettled state of the crater and from
the cessation ofthe severe CalabrIan earth
quakes-all of which he attributes to one
and the same subtarranean cause-is con-
fident tnat the present Is but the beginning
of an eruption which if not one Of the
greatest, will at least be of very consider
able consequence. Now the lava does not
proceed from the summit of the mountain,
but from a small crater which has been
formed near the top, on the north side, and
which may be distinctly observed from the
city as a sort of bulge on the heretofore
regular slope The smoke Is constant and
profusa, and dense, black mass Of It also
issues at short intervals from the great era
ter. in which the lava has been steadily
rising. The stream of lava Is about fifty
or eighty feet wide. and Is making its way
into the rugged and uncultiVated hollow
between Nesuvius aud Mount Somma.
In a clear day, when the wind Is light,
the two columns of smoke are beautiful to
see, one dark and compact, the other whit
ened and difused by the steamy vapors
which are mingled with it ; o-e rising to
a great height, scarcely altered in form and
color, the other melting into clouds and
wreathes at the slightest breeze and catch
ing a score Of radiant hues as it vaRishes
away By night the whole track Is visible
from Naples not in its entire breadth,
however, and therefore presenting simply
the appearance of a glowing outline to one
side of the cone. over which sometimes
low bank of ruddy, vaporous clouds may be
seen palpitating in the heat the crater it
self is 4 vast burning coal, from which on
some nights flames and blazing fragments
have been seen to shoot upwards, but such
energy is rare The Neapolitan resident al
most turns up his nose at such an apology for
an eruption as this but even this Is violent
enough to convey to the visitor clear idea
of the forces at work and the nature of
their action. There is the sluggish, molt-
en- mass, creeping with groanings and
rumblings, with hissings and settings,
from its fiery, fuming source there is the
scorching heat that withers while the crawl
ing lava is yet distant there the hideous,
contorted, infragile coils, blackening as
they cool and there the same evidence of
helplessness to contend with the might of
an approach at once so insidious and ire
sistible.

Dr. Han says that 1t ought to be ex-
tensively known that ordinary boiled rice.
eaten with DO led milk, Is one of the best
remedies known for any form of loose
bowels. Its efficacy is increased if it so
Drowned like coffee and then boiled and
eaten at intervals Of four hours, taken in
other food or liquid whatever its cura-
tive virtue is intensified if no milk is tax
en- with it, aud the patient viii keep quiet
in warm bed then it becomes an almost
infallible remedy" In his book on
Coughs and Colds, the same author
claims that consumption can be fought best
by out door air ana exercise. He holds
that tight-laciug tends, If anything, to
drive away consumption, by compelling the
upper part of the lungs to extra exertion,
and that bad colds never cause the disease.
Both Of these statements are in the very
teeth of received opinion, but he stoutly
defends them. The Medical qnd SurQical
Reporter Cstimates the cost, to the people
of the United States. of medical services
and medicines. At 100000, 900, and adds
S25, 100000 for the quack medicines swal-
lowed. Let the people, it says. study
these figures awhile, and then reflect that
probably one-half, or certainly a large
fraction, of this expense, Is incurred by
deliberate infraction of the laws Of health
that, if they tippled less, smoked less,
over-worked less, were less fast and less
self-indulgent, they would save some thirty
or forty millions year The Herald of
Health thinks there is a great need of an
increase Of educated nurses, since they are
often more useful than a physician 1t
adds Education, however, is not the
only qualification needed. Some are good
nurses by nature. Healthy and happy
themselves, they impart health and hap
Piness to others. As a magnet magnetizes
bits of iron with which it comes in con-
tact, so DO they magnetic, 50 to speak,
patients for whom they care. If the sick
would choose a good nurse, let them DO it
with reference to natural as well as ac-
quired talent Tne London Food Journal
remarks that soup has great value for those
who hurry to and from their meals, as it
allows on interval of comparative rest to
the fainting stomach before the more sub
stantial beef and mutton is attacked, 1est
before solid food being as important as rest
after it. When the body is weary the
stomach must be identified with it. But
if a small platefui of light soup be gently
insinuated into the system, nourishment
will soon be introduced, and strength will
follow to receive more substantial material

F FORMATION OF THE FLORIDA REEF.-Two
prominent features seem superimposed on
the Atlantic face of our coast the penin-
sulas of Cape Cod and Florida. The lat
ter is still growing, and it is well ascer-
tanned that nearly all of the peninsula has
been built up from the sea bottom by
species of corals and other marine animals
now living and operating there. Centuries
must have passed while this vast tract has
been built up. But erroneous notions have
been formed regarding their rate of growth.
A brick, having a specimen of mean
drina upon it one inch in diameter, was
placed under water in the year 1860 by
the writer, at Tortugas, with the view of
determining the rate of growth of corals.
When taken up in 1861, just one year
after, it had increased to t1c0 inches IN di-
ameter, and was over half an inch in thick
ness. The large aquarium, which was
built at the water-side for observation of
marine objects, contained many other speei-
mems, and it was observed that the branch
coraIs grew even more rapidly, some at
tanning FIVE or six inches in one year
The various forms of branch corals,
brain and star coral, and the sea feathers
and fans are familiar to most Our mu-
seums are we'll stocked with fine specimens.
The Free Academy at New York has
fine collection of every species known to
the waters of our shores. 4 large frag-
ment of the Reef, as it appears with many
of its various inhabitants. and two fine
heads of brain coral, each two feet in di-
ameter, are among them.
One species of astr8a, unlike most of
the corals that have circumscrbed growth,
spreads ont ledge-like, and knows no bound
ary, no definite form. This particular
species seems to be the principal element
in reef-building its Individual polyp Is
small, but the congregation is vast, and
tier after tier rises until the surface Is
reached. when acres. miles of this one
variety lie dead aud decaying, and fur
nish a strong foothold for another element
of land making no less sure and irresistible.
The mangrove now performs its part.
4 long, cgar-shaped fruit Is formed, the
seed Of which terminates within the small
inconspicuous flower before it drops, and
presents the strange spectacle of a young
tree, already rooted and ready to put forth
its leaves as soon as it drops and finds OF
hold. These young magnolia; designed TO
live and thrive IN the salt soil, they float
over the shallow water, and take root
wherever they touch the bottom. The
rootlets then make fast to the reef mud,
throw out side shoots like so many flying
buttresses, and put forth from the top or
smaller end tuft of rich glossy green
leaves. The trunk does not reach below
the spreading roots, but is supported by
them above the water. Here IS network
of rootlets wherin the debris of the ocean
is entanged. and within which dead leaves
and fragments Of shells collect to form the
meagre soil. Miles of reef become planted
in this way.

At Dartmouth College few days ago.the
students were surprised to hear their presi-
dent, in solemn words and omnious tones,
accuse them of engaging in leagued con-
spiracy. and declare that such thing
could not 60 on without his eognizance I.
While the innocents trembling awaited the
evident disclosure of some foul plot or
mischievous design, he suddenly said he
would give his countenance and utmost aid
to this measure, which originated in the
minds of the students The leagued con-
spiracy is this : The undergraduates
propose to raise among their friends and
alumni the sum of $4,000, to be expended
in heating the college buildings with steam
and lighting them by gas, thus diminish
ing the danger from fire, to which these
buildings with their valuable contents, are
exposed. and at the same time securing to
the occupants many oonveniences and ad-
vantages not now enjoyed.
