vesurIas pIsnppoInta the crowd.

A Naples correspondent of the
London Times, under date of April
25th, says: "0ne of the most dis
appointing facts Of the season has
been that Vesuyius has failed to
crafty the expectations of crowds
Of visitors. On the 18th Of De-
cember last, as was reported, there
was q sinking in of the lnteFioB
smoke, mingled with ashes, was
elected, the seismic instruments
began to be more than usually ac-
tive, and the wise man of the noun
tain, Professor Palmieri, immedi-
ately announced that VesuYius was
in a state of eruption, From that
time to this, though we have had
occasional brilliant spectacles, there
has been no grand flare-up, and out
siders who know nothing at all
about volcanic action began to
think they had been deceived. The
Professor, indeed, seems to have
imagined some explanation neces,
sary, and he had given it in q letter
which fully justites all that he had
hitherto reported. In December
last he said that new period ol
volcanic action had commenced
after a long repose, and that i
would be of long duration, with {
variety of phases which it was i'm
possible to foresee. In December
1854, a very similar fact occurred
when the bottom Of the crater fel

Too Much for the Judge.

Judge Grant wasin Little Rock, Ark, in attendance at the United States court. One morning he saw farmer trying to sell 8 COW in the market there. It was large, long horned animal, and the planter was informing man that the COW would give four quarts of milk day, if fed well.
 Up steppedth the judge. "What do you ask for the cow?'' About $3O. She'll give five quarts of milk, if you'll feed her well," replied the planter, and he pro- ceeded to describe her good qualities. Said the judge "I have. cows on my farm, not much more than half as big as your COW, which give twenty to twenty five quarts of milk day !'
 The planter eyed the judge sharply for 8 moment, as if trying to remem- Der whether he had ever seen him be- fore or not, and thenpasked: Stranger, where do you live p {" My home is in Iowa." "Yes, stranger, don't dis pute it. Stranger, there were heaps of soldiers from Iowa down here during the war, and, stranger, they were the biggest liars in the whole Yankee army. Stranger, may be you might be an officer in some of them regiments ?"
 The judge slid for the court house.

The Pennsylvania railroad company, whose lines penetrate every section of the Union, and directly connect all important points with Philadelphia, has made magnif- cent preparations for conveying, with safety and comfort, the millions of people who in tend visiting the Centennial Exhibition di- rectly to the Centennial grounds. The loca- tion of the Exhibition made it impossible for any other railway to directly reach the Exhibition buildings and grounds, and the management, ever since the site was des- ignated, has employed it's gigantic equip ments and unrivaled facilities to make the Exhibition a success, by providing the amplest accommodations at the minimum price, for both exhibitors and visitors. It was fitting that railway company, national in it's character and operations, should thus second the commissioners in illustrating our centennial history by demonstrating the high degree of excellence attained by the railway transportation system of America, in making the great thoroughfares uniting the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi valley, the West, Northwest and Southwest with the Centennial City, as erfeet as possi- ble in all it's essentials and details.
 Its routes follow the geographical chan nels of continental inter-communication, uniting most of the larger cities on the

MT. Payne (Dem of Ohio, from the com mittee on banking and currency, reported 8 bill authorizing the secretary of the treasury, under such limits and regulations as will best secure just and fair distribution of silver coin throughout the country to i-sue the silver coin now in the treasury to an amount not exceed ing ten millions of dollars, m exchange for an equal amount of legal tender notes, and pro- viding that the notes so received and ex- changed shall be reissued only on the retire ment and destruction of & like sum of frac- tional currency received at the treasury in payment of dues to the United States, and that such fractional currency, when so substi- tuted, shall be destroyed and held as part of the sinking fund, as provided in the act of April IT, 1876.
 On motion of MT. Wood, of New York. the committee of the whole was dit charged from the further consideration of the bill to carry into effect the provisions of tho treaty with ,he Hawaiian islands, and the House proceed ed to it's consideration. After some discussion & vote was taken on the blll and it WAS passed yeas, 116; nays, 101.
 .The bil which was originally introduced by MT. Luttrell, of California, provides for the President, whenever he has evidence that the Hawai- an Legislature has pa ssed laws to give full effect to the treaty. issuing his pr0clama- ton declaring the treaty of January 30, 1875, to be in effect and that thereupon the follow ing articles, being the growth and manufac- ture or produce of the Hawaiian islands, shall be admitted into the United States free of duty: Arrowroot, castor oil bananas, nuts, vegetables, dried and undried, preserved and unpreseryed; hides and skins, undressed rice puIu seeds. plants, shrubs or trees; mus cova1o brown, and all other unrefined sugars syrups of sugar cane, melado, and molasses and talloW.

Emperor of ShOpkeepers.

The London Spectator calls the late A. T. Stewart "the emperor of shop keepers" and pronounces the reported estate of G16,000,000 sterling perhaps the largest fortune that ever was at one mans entire disposal, ant certainly the largest that was ever made out of shop or accumulated by trade of any kind in one mans lifetime. 1t is four times the fortune acquired by the late Mir. Nor rison, five times that of Mir. Thornton, two and a half times the highest esti- mate over formed of the wealth of MT. Brown, of Liverpool, and probably ex- ceeds that of any business man now alive and without partners, except. per. haps, Commodore Vanderbilt, the Amer can railway speculator, who is credited by rumor-which may, however, be ex- aggerated-with 8 larger accumulation still.

The Arab of To-Day.

The Arabs of the Algerine provinces are not characters of romance, they are brutes. When French troops were with drawn they showed great audacity in plundering and cutting the threats of French settlers. A determined encou1- ter with even 8 quarter of their own number formed no part of their military training. A score or two of French sol dies sutficed to disperse several hun dreds of these imposing and often su- perbly mounted warriors. And the Arab will bear inspection no better at home. The Arab has no poetry in him! The strong stick which an Arab bridegroom deposits in the corner of his gourbi on the day he carries his bride home is far from symbol, but brutal weapon of brutal authority. In Arab computation a woman-child does notcount. Nothing, in fact, can be more repugnant to Euro pean notions than the life of the Arab at home. The settlers in Algeria have had hard time with these thieves and murderers.

southern shores ol the great lakes, on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and on the Att lantic harbors. The main road from New York to Philadelphia, though passing through the principal cities of New Jersey, does not deviate six miles from an air line, and this defection is due to the interpretation of navigable waters. These routes not only excel in directness as we'll as in the number of important cities and towns they connect, but they are confessedly superior in con struction and equipment. Between Pitts burgh and New York, 444 miles, the entire line is double track, laid with heavy steel rails with joints connected between ties by process that gives the effect of continuous rail, on which there can be no unpleasant jarring. All bridges on the line are of iron or stone. A large portion of this distance is provided with a third track, which enables freight trains to keep entirely out of the way of passenger travel, and permits the express trains to run their allotted distance without interruption, and near Philadel- phia, and other important terminal points, four tracks have, for considerable dis tances, been completed.
 The Block signal system, exclusively used on the Pennsylvania railroad through out it's entire length, compels the engineer of train to know whether the track is clear or not to the next station, be it one
