A Ruined Island.

LONDON, July %. The earthquake in
the PHILIPPINE Islands affected in terri
BILE manner the small island of Camarin-
es, 5 miles from Misamis For some
months previously, especially in March,
there was a succession of violent shocks
which opened extensive crevices in the
earth. Finally on May 1st the level
plain near the village OF Catarmin began
gradually to subside until the tops of the
houses became level with the surface of
the earth. This remarkable phenomenon
attracted large number Of people, when
suddenly some terrific shocks were felt
and before the laundering reverberations
had died away the whole level plain fell
in, engulflng $50 persons. The plain be-
came the crater of a volcano 1900 feet
wide and from it smoke, ashes and stones
were thrown into the air.
A pause until dark succeeded when
another explosion and rain of fire fol
lowed. The woods became ignited and
men and cattle went flying before the
iiames. The spectacle was frightful in
the extreme. The volcano continues to
eject stone and earth.
The inhabitants have left the island which
formerly contained a population of &C.
600 souls. Camiguin produced of manil-
la hemp one tenth of the whole quantity
grown.

Views of Practical ShipbuiIder.

We desi re that every reader Of the
journal shall give Il careful perusa to
Percle's letter to the Boston Post, which we
reproduce on the outside of to-day's pa
per, And it is to be hoped especially that
all who are wondering over the decline
and ftll of the great industry of the coast
OF Maine will study well the picture which
IS there so wildly and truthfully drawn.
Who with the heart of an American can
read without emotion the description of a
once thriving and t1ourishing town, must
cal with the hum of thrifty and busy in
dustry, on which the blight Of desolation
has fallen like the pail of death?
Men who feel deeply and earnestly will
always talk strongly and often eoquently.
And is it possible that an intelligent gen
tleman, like Captain Blanchard, standing
amid the ruins of his once prosperous
business, and viewing the Strengthened
condition of the workmen who in better
days earned comfortable wages in his en-
ployment, should express himself with
dlrectness and force in regard to the cause
of their troubles? Capt Blanchard To-
Gates the responsibility just where every
man of brains who reflects upon the mat
ter must likewise place it-on the tariff
and tax eXactions of the administration
and the party that controls Congress-
There is no dispute upon this point among
practical men. Shipbuilders who are re
publicans will declare as positively as
democrats do, that the crushing exactions
OF the government, in the control of the
radical party, is running their business
There is no shade OF difference in opinion
among the men who have made the sub
Ject study, and have the best reason to
know why American shipbuilding is dying
out.
This being the case, the next step to-
wards reform and a restoration of the
prosperous times of old, is to know how
the abuse can be reached. Not through
any action OF the government while it re-
mains in control of the present dominant
party. They have been tried year after
year, by appeal after appeal, without the
slightest movement towards reform. Ship
builders have besieged Congress by COM
mittees, with statements of their burdens.
and have got nothing but the cold
shoulder
Any thinking man see that there is but
one course for the shipbuilding interest to
pursue, and that to reinstate in power the
Democratic party, that fostered and bro
tected the mercantile marine of the conn
try, until it grew from nothing to be the
rival of the commerce of Great Britain.
Nothing will so open the eyes of the radi-
Gals Of Congress to the necessity of doing
something for the maritime interest as
Democratic victories in the eastern States.
Let Maine go Democratic this year, or
show signs of choosing two OR three
Democratic Congressman in 1872, and the
| awakening of interest in the subject in
Con tess would be astonishing Having
| tried everything else, wouldn't the people
of Maine do we'll to try Democratic
| victory

quently by hearty applause. After allud-
ing to the issues of the war, he spoke of
the hope felt by the nation that with the
advent of peace there might be univer-
sal resumption of the practices of peace,
and told how this hope had been disap-
pointed by the stubborn policy of the Ad-
mnistratlon toward the South. The re-
suits to the South of this policy were Wv
idly portrayed. The financial sins of the
Administrator and its extravaganza. the

THEsHAY CROP. The Hartford Times
says the hay crop will be scant one in
Connecticut, and adds:
"And information from the States north
and northeast of us, from which we have
obtained hay, shows that it will be light
throughout New England. Prices of hay
will be high next winter. Even here in
the Connecticut valley and in the Hartford
meadows. only about a ton and half to
the acre of the crop is just harvested.
Or in other words, not much over half the
usual crop. In other parts of the State
the grass has proved almost complete
failure, and will not average half ton to
the acre taking the State through. The
cause is the severe drought of last year,
and the want of enough rain to make it
good. The lower springs have never yet
been reached since the big rain flood OF
October l and 2, 1869, and the ground is
dry.

In the lull Of the pol itical contest, the
editor of the Prog. Age has taken to
theology. And he has espoused a very
unexpected side too for progressive pa
per. If we had been obliged to bet our
bottom dollar on the subject, we should
have risked that greenback on the asser-
ton that both he and the party generally
would have taken their chance with the
Universalists, whose creed, like an open
policy of insurance, covers everything. 1t
would be the only chance for large ma
.lority Of them But in commenting upon
Gen. Halls address on Memorial Day.
and his theory that all soldiers dying in
battle for their country are admitted to
immediate and unfailing happiness, the
Age says
This is good and consoling. But isn't there
as much evidence in the Bible that Sod will
punish wicked men i'll a future state as there is
that he has made man immortal? The evidence
concerning mans immortality, outside the
Bible, Is about all the other way. The revea-
hon which teaches that man shall live after
death, teaches about as plainly that he shall be
dealt with after death according to the deeds
done in life. The contrary doctrine, advanced
above, may be true, but we never could see
much support for it in what is called revelation
This aroused the Gospel Banner. the
universalist organ, which, backed by the
New Testiment and the declarations of
Saint Paul, goes for the theological scalp
of our neighbor in column and half of
argument. We are afraid that the Age
fights at disadvantage, with trained
gladiator of the liberal church, and will
be overcome. However, we shall expect
our neighbor to rally to the defence OF
Orthodoxy, and when a strong odor of
sulphur pervades the atmosphere we shall
know that the Age is coming
