For more than ten months the lofty
volcano, Mauna Loa, has been burning
with almost uninterrupted brilliancy.
This is especially remarkable from the
fact that the eruption is going out at an
elevation of nearly $4,000 feet above the
sea. The column of molten lava thrown
out of the summit crater varies from 200
to 500 feet in height, and assumes all
the various forms of great fountain of
water The old crater of Kilauea, which
is 1000 feet above the sea, is also unus-
ually active.
"Angel Agnes was the name given
at Shreveport to lovely young lady of
Philadelphia, daughter of deceased U.
S. naval officer, who was among the first
who went to the relief of the sufferers
from yellow fever. Her bravery and de-
votion made her greatly beloved. One
night while walking with a sick child in
her arms, she fell down stairway and
fractured her spine, and died in great
agony. Only few days previous her
intended husband, who had followed her
to Shreveport, died with the fever.
Great excitemement was recently Gre
ated among the people residing around
the canal basin in Petersburg, Va, by
the discovery of bundle floating in the
water, which, from its appearance and
other suspicious circumstances, was sup
posed to indicate murder Fully believ-
ing that the dead body of a murdered
infant was enclosed in a bundle, the ex-
cited crowd summoned the Coroner and
proceeded to land and open the mysteri-
Gus hotism. 1t was found to contain six
deceased puppies.

A singular circumstance, one doubtless
without parallel in the history of the
country, is recorded in Schuler county.
Ill. A man named H. NJ Wheeler, of
Birmingham, in that county. enlisted in
the United States army in Missouri, un-
der General Lyon, in 1861; was wound
ed, captured and paroled, and by some
strange oversight was not discharged
from service until few days ago, when
the proper papers were made out, and
his back pay and pension, amounting to
near $4,000, were paid him.

Memphis must indeed have presented
sad and dreary appearance while the
fever was raging most fercely there In
speaking Of the condition of things at
that time the Memphis appeal says =
"On the street pedestrians are few and
far between. A lady is rarely met, and
then is almost invariably clad in deep
mourning. The hearse, with its nodding
plumes, is now the most familiar vehicle
on the streets Of Memphis. One would
think at times that it was never out of
sight. The city schools are all closed.
The merry hum of happy children's voices
is hushed, and from the play ground
there are now no joyous shouts or ring
ing laughter, but solemn silence reigns
instead. But it is at night, when dark
ness falls upon the devoted city, that
Memphis indeed puts on her mourning
robes. At an early hour the streets are
deserted, and by ten o'clock there is
scarcely sound heard save the hurried
steps of some agitated messenger seeking

Of recent operations of the Ku-Klux
in southern Kentucky, a correspondent
of the Louisville Commercial writes
ga year or so ago there seemed to be
very plenty of Ku-Klux in Wayne and
Clinton counties, but, owing to some un-
known cause, they suspended operations
until recently. They have again made
their appearance, and more numerous
than at any time before. They visited
) a certain family in the eastern part of
Clinton county, on last Sunday night,
and severely whipped an old man and
some of his family. The old lady at the
same time was confined to her bed with
dropsy, and at this writing she is a
corpse. A short time before their Sun
day nights visit they pulled down one
: of his houses and burnt it to ashes.-
