recently made a visit TO the crater OF kilauea, re-
ports that the fires. recently 80 abundant and active
IN the pit, have subsidized almost entirely, leaviag

POISONED, BUT NOT KLLED.-Last Thursday, a
Chinaman in the employ of Marshal Parke, while
engaged in cleaning house, discovered a bottle snugly
slowed away in q remote corner, which, quickly sur
missing that it contained spirits, he placed to his
mouth and took a good swig. The next movement
the would-be tippler made was q precipitous rush for
the water tap, with his mouth and - innards 4" all of
n blaze. He had swallowed a solution of corrosive
s~ublimate, prepared for destroying ants. The bottle
was marked poison, and bore the deaths head and
cross-bones, which John probably thought was the
brand of q superior article of whiskey. With the
assistance of DR.. Hoffman's prescriptions by way OF
antidote, the Chinaman has escaped, very sick and
in possession of an excellent lesson.
