Account Of the Death Of Two Adj
vtniurOus Tourists in the
Crater Gf VesHViHs.

The Repista, of Naples, contains the fol-
lowing account of the loss of two gentlemen
i'll the crater of Vesuvius, who, with great
temcrty, insisted on being lowered down to
the dark cavern, Immediately below the ORR
flee Of the crater: A party was formed to
ascend Mount Vesuvius on Friday afternoon
in the Cafe di Europa. The party consisted
OF two Americans, three Englishmen, and
one Frcnchman. On Sunday night they took
carriages from the cafe for Resina, reaching
there at half past eleven z. NJ. Having
procured horses, guides, and other neces-
saries, they started for the burning mountain
and began the ascent, one Luigi Carnegie
leading as cicerone, and arrived at the base
OF the uppermost cone further than which
horses do not 80. The tourists then began
the ascent over the hillocks and powders of
lava until the vicinity of the crater was
reached, when Messrs. James Wilcox and
Francois lie Mieur, an American and a
Frenchman, insisted on being lowered down
to the cavern which is formed below the
mouth of the volcano. The guides, who
provide themselves with ropes for that pur-
pose, complied with the request of the for
eigners and lowered them down. The noun
tain being perfectly quiet no danger was an
ticipated; but when one OF the party above
the crater called out to the rash Adventures,
no answer was returned. The guides, grow
ing anxious, cried, Gentlemen, you had
better hold on to the ends of the repes.'
Still the ropes remained slack, and no an
swer came from the sulphurOus and murky
cavern below. Twenty minutes passed and
the Adventures were yet silent. 1t was then
proposed that one OF the guides should be
lowered down and hold on to the ropes until
he had investigated the appearance Of the
cavern base. He had hardly entered when
he cried out loudly: Su! su! non c'e niente
che una petra strettissima! 6 Up! up!
there's nothing here but very narrow
rock!')
"As far as any living person can tell the
rest, the unfortunate strangers, the victims
Of their own imprudence, were hurled into
the mysterious abysses of Mount Vesuvius.
Sin this same month, sixteen years ago,
two Englishmen Of birth and fortune and a
French comedian committed the same terri
bic error. The same ambition which urged
them to scale the icy heights of the Matter

Vesuvius while it slept, and they were either

hardly be said TO have body left to it, and
her whole chest was as bare as her forehead
to the pelting rain. We here are accustomed,
OF course, to regard Scotland as Il highly
prosperous country, model OF energy and
intelligence, an example and shame to poor
Ireland. Well, Glasgow is q great and flour
ishing city, and Greenock is busy, and the
Clyde is alive with shipbuilding, but outside
the cities see country which is fast beconn-
ing depopulated. Prosperity, What is pros
perity? Do q big city, dukes castle and a
hotel in the Highlands constitute national
prosperity? Is this place which look upon
from my window prosperous? If it is, then
SO Is the Atlantic prosperous as you gaze
over 1t from the deck of one of the Cunard
steamers. There you have 4 steamer, and q
good dinner, and well-dressed guests on
board, and the ocean outside. Here YOU
have Il hotel well filed with tourists, and
outside Il wilderness. All around This one
big hotel there is absolutely no population.

Justin Mccarthy writes from near Ben
Nevis, Scotland, to the New York Ereniag
Mail:
TO pass from England into Scotland is to
90 from prose into poetry. But the pOetical
in real life is not usually the comfortable.
In the building of cities Charles Dickens OBJ
serves that cholera and the picturesque are
commonly found to lie associated. Scotland
pays for her beauty by having to turn herself
into show place, as | set out in former
letter, and for her poetry by a great deal Of
feudaism, discomfort, and poverty. know
no country where the distinction of caste is
more sternly and even cOarsely marked out.
The local duke or marquis seems everywhere
to be regarded almost exactly "a he might
have been in faudal times-as a sort of
heavcn-apponted ruler and king. In Eng
land, after all, nobody cares much about a
lord except people who have a chance OF
being invited to dine with him. The average
middle class BritOn. who never dreams Of
such privilege, concerns himself little about
peers, and has no more natural reverence Tor
a duke than he has for lord mayor. But
in Scotland you live always under the shadow
of the dukc--this, that, and the other duke.
Go into little Highland inn, and you sec
the dukes portrait the duchess portrait, a
volume containing an account Oh all the uuke ;
ancestors and family; the talk is of what the
duke will not allow, what he has done, what
he has promised, whether he will not permit

and even find it a relief to pass from the do

ulated. There are the cities, of course, and
| in the picturesque places there are the-hotels,
and there are the places of the duke, and the
shooting lodges of the English gentry who
come in the season to shoot grouse. Be-
sides this there is-nothing, one might say.

Governor Andrew OH General
Grant.

To The Editors Of the Eoening Post:
1t is claimed that if Ex-Governor John A.
Andrew were living he would now be on the
side of the Democratic party, and that he
did not respect or esteem General Grant.
Among my own letters find the follow
ing, written three days before his death,
which expresses, with his usual terseness and
vigor, his opinion concerning the character Of
the President:
"The tendency of the hour is toward
Grant, and that is best ; it is not the ideal
good it is bad for the country that he must
leave his present post bad for him, the sol
der, to try and to endure the hard fate which
awaits him in civil life /; but it is apparently
the best practical good the country can have,
and Grant is so square and honest a man
that l believe he is bound to be right any
where.

With high regard, your obedient servant,

Not even Herr Driesbach, the wild beast
king of Van Amburgh, as he pursues his peace
full way and rural avocation upon his farm at
Wooster, Ohio, is free from the omnivOrous
greed of interviewing Bohcmians. Probably
the country had forgotten all about the fa-
nous Dutchman in the light of those talents
more freshly before it, but many will, per-
haps, recall him who, in his day, was not the
least among accomplished shOwmen. When
about 20 years old he got a situation in the
Geological Gardens, New York, and was one
day set at work cleaning the cage of the Bra
lillian tiger. No one had ever entered the
cage before, but Dresbach said he wanted to
"get the darned thing clean once" and ell
| tered the perilOus Enclosure, staying as long
as he wished and receiving no injuries. After
this he trained several animals, and Mr..
RAYMOND, one of the stockholders of the con-
Germ, shipped him to Europe. In England he
met with great good fortune, exhibiting be-
fore Queen Victoria and other notables, and
in Paris also, and the other principal cities OF
France. He delighted crowned heads and
he filed a two weeks engagement at the
Bowery Theatre, and President Van Buren,
thought Driesbach driving his tiger. across
the stage in golden chariot a great curiOs
ity. He visited Boston, Philadelphia, ant
Baltimore, and three plays were written ex
| pressly for him, with parts for his pets. Blu
love conquered him whom wild beasts coult
not, and he settled down on an Ohio farm
an hOnored citizen, to cultivate hogs ant
cattle instead of lions and tigers. Bosto,

The Paris Figaro relates the follow
ing amusing anecdOte: "A gentleman hat
purchased plaster-of-Paris copy of thu
Venus of Milo. He gave his address to tn
merchant, and asked him to send it to hi
house. On the following morning he aske'
his footman: Joseph, has a plaster-of- Pari
statue been brought to the house?' Yes
sir, > replied Joseph they brought here larg
woman in plaster-of- Paris, but | refused t
receive it's Why, Joseph?' Well, sir, he
two arms were broken off; and know you
sir-you would have surely said that it was
who did it,"
