Mount Vesuyius.

After many false alarms and partia
outbreaks, Vesu7ius is reported to be
having an eruption at length in grim
earnest. On Friday night the ancient
mountain began to pour forth stream
| of lava, while the immense column. of
milk-white vapor rose high into the
air, illumined magnificently, it is said
by the fire which were raging in the
crater beneath. Quantities of stones,
cinders, and scori@ were at the same
time elected both in the night of Fri
lay aud during Saturday, as though
the subterranean furnaces that under
lie the brim of the lovely Bay of Ma
Piles were being stocked by the fire.
gnomes for a really grand outburst
AS vet, however, we hear nothing off
cial from Professor Palmieri, who from
his watch-tower near the summit,
keeps an eye perpetually fixed upon
the mountain, surrounded by seismo-
graphs and cunning instruments Of all
sorts, which enable him to feel the
pulse of Vesuvius, and generally fore
tell fever.tit in the caprieious volcano
Its changeful moods, however, fire.
quently deceive even this accomplished
and fearless sentinel of science, for it
is now some weeks since the Professor
gave erroneous warning of an immi-
nent eruption. The crater was smok-
ing more than usual, and Vesuvius is
seldom without at least thin wreath
of vapor curling from its crest, which
in calm weather gathers into cloud
above its head, fecking the bright blue
Campainian sky.
This wreath was dense and rolling
volumn Of smoke when Palmieri gave
his warning; the mountain was trem-
bling with the inner shocks and noises
which mostly precede an outbreak, and
near its top fire could be seen luridly
shining in the night from the many
crevices, out Of which smell of sui
phurous gases. Yet, Notwithstanding
all these. tokens Of disturbance inside
the volcano, the symptoms appeared to
have subsided and Vesuvius was
thought to be settled down. From
time to time since then there have
been only slight relapses; and the pres
ent paroxysm appeared to have come
on with something like abruptness,
which we believe, is one of the worst
possible signs of its intentions which
the volcano ever gives. The terrible
outbreak Of A. D. 70, which over
whelmed Pompeii, and cost the life of
the elder Pliny, began in the same
fashion, with great cloud Of white
yapor suddenly elected to vast height,
lighted up by the fires of the opening
crater, and full of black fragments and
showers OF scoria. To a certain ex-
tent, no doubt, all serious eruptions of
the volcano at sometime or other repro
duce these phenomena; but it is always
an evil omen when the column of
smoke is like that described in the
letter to Tacitus: Its figure resufn-
bled the confirmation of a pine tree,
it shot up to a great height in the
manner of trunk, which extended
itself at top in the similitude of
branches, appearing sometimes bright
and sometimes dark or spotted, as it
was more or less impregnated with
earth aud cinders. -London TeIe-

TiIden's CrOOkedness.

| The Chicago & Alton Railroad Com
pany filed bill for an Injunction
against 5. FL. Meyer and Samuel J..
Tilden. 1t sets forth that in Novem-
ber, 1862, the bondholders and credi-
tors of the company selected the de-
PENDANTS TO secure the payment of GER
tain indebtedness La the same year
the defendants purchased the road,
then known as the Chicago & Missouri
Railroad Company at sale under de-
cree of the United States Court. In
November of that year they agreed to
sell out to the Chicsgo & Alton Com
pany, taking stocks and bonds in pay
nient, and to deliver the bonds to the
creditors Of the company in satisfac-
ton of their Indebtedness. Plaintiff
owns bonds of Chicago & Mississippi
Railroad, amounting to $35, 600, and
is therefore entitled to share Of pro-
ceeds of the sale of the road. To
carry out the agreement between the
plaintiff aud the trustees, the plaintiff
delivered to Meyer and Tilden capital
stock and bonds of the par value of
S2,570,0OO each share of stock being
worth Sl0O, and each bond one 81 900.
The defendants paid out Of this to the
creditors, sinking fund bonds amount
ing to 100000, and large portion of
the first mortgage and income bonds,
Of which there were 81, 100000 Of the
former, and 100000 of the latter,
but after paying this they reserved
large portion of the last two mentioned
kinds of bonds, under pretence of ed
justing their claims for services, and
thus appropriated 100000.
In 1868 the trustees reported to the
Chicago & Alton Company that after
paying indebtedness and their own SER
vices, there remained 5000, 900, and
$4,000 in bonds, which ought to have
been turned over to the plaintiffs; but
they have from year to year held the
held the same, and have claimed that
they have used it all up for Office rent
and clerk hire These bonds have never
been sold, nor the coupons collected,
therefore an account is demanded of
the defendants, and injunction prayed
for to prevent the transfer of stock.
A temporary Injunction was issued.
ScHENcK. = WASHINGTON, April
5.-A canvass of the House Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs in the Schenok
matter shows that with possibly two
exceptions, the Committee, including
both Democrats and Republicans from
the evidence already taken, would re-
port that Gen. Schenck, in becoming
a Director in the Emma Mining Com
pany and in specultating in its stock,
did reprehensible act, but that he
was not guilty of intentional dishones-
ty in originally connecting himself with
the enterprise. Two Democratic MEM
bers of the committee, however, are
seeking to prove that Schenck's con-
nection with the mine was Intentional
ly dishonest.

A SINGULAR fulillment of dream
occurred at Nevada City recently.
The wife OF Mr.. Scott, one of the
owners of the Last Chance mine, had
a dream on the night previous that her
husband was killed by having his
head struck by a rock in the mine,
and when the signal was given that
a blast was to be fred, he and Mr..
Foote, both of whom were holding the
hydraulic nozzle retired to distance
of ESQ feet. But for some reason
Scott became uneasy and tried to get
Foote to go still further away, con-
cealing himself behind tree, instead
of standing beside Foote as usual.
When the blast went off a flying
stone struck Foote on the head, killing
him instantly. Mr.. Scott is firmly
convinced that if he had not remen-
bered his wife's dream and got be-
hind the tree be would have been the
man killed.

The Safe Burglary.

New YoRK, April 12.-An inter-
view with Geo. E. White, alias Miles,
the Barre VIZ bank robber, now in
the Vermont State Prison, is publish
ed. Miles appears to have been very
communicative. He said he was in
structed by Whitley to call on Nettle-
ship tstr job, and was taken by Nettle-
ship to Washington, where he was first
informed that said job was cracking a
safe in the District Attorneys Office
They struck bargain, and Miles en-
ployed Benton to assist him. He was
introduced to Harrington by Nettle-
ship, and had an interview on the SUBJ
ject with Harrington at the latter's
house, at which Gen. Babcock was
present. The latter assured Miles that
Harrington's promises should be car
ried out. Miles speaks of prominent
official who knew what was going on,
and who gave additional assurances of
security for the burglars. The name
of this official was gwen to the report
er in confidence but is not printed.
Miles also hints at knowledge of: other
parties connected with the plan, whose
identity he accidently discovered.
WASHINGTON, April 12.--Gen.
Babcock pronounces false the story of
Miles, a convict in Windsor (Vt.)
prison, published to-dav, in which he
declares that the General was aequaint-
ed with all the details of the safe bur-
glary. The missing papers in the safe
burglary case have been found in the
Attorney Generals Office, slowed away
in closet They had not been alb
stracted. as was at first supposed.
