Good News to Every Family.

No more loss Of Life or destruction Of
Property By tho explosion Of Hero,
se7ae.
1t is fearful to think that during
the short space Of year, there were
over $4S,OO0,OOO worth of property
destroyed in the United States, by the
explosion of keros ne or coal-oil lamps ;
yet the destruction of property is moth
ing compared TO the loss of life. No
less than | GOO men woman and child
rem, came to an untimel y end during
the past year by the explosion Of lamps,
to say nothing Of those persons who,
after terrible sutferings have at last
recovered, but We're dis6gured for
life.
No wonder then that we say
Good News to Every Family when
Professor Thompson s Non-Explosive
Lamp Powder is guaranteed to render
the worst kerosene as safe as a com:
mon candle and prevents the breaking
and smoking Of lamp chimneys.
In a few days the agent for this
county, Conrad Differ, will visit the
families for the purpose OF introducing
this very necessary household prepar-
alton, when for the tritling sum of 90
cents package can be procured which
may perhaps be the means of saving
life and property.

A SUBMARINE VoLCANo.-Th

A SUBMARINE VoLCANo.-Tbe
Honolulu GD-ette of February 2Sth,
contains the account OF remarkable
submarine volcano outbreak in keala-
keua Bay, near the entrance of the har
Dor. The natives report that the erup-
ton occurred about three o'clock on the
morning OF the 18th, appearing like
lnnumerable red, blue and green lights.
In the afternoon several boats visited
the eruption, cruising over the most ac-
tive part where the water was in state
OF peculiar activity. boiling and appear
ing as if passing over rapids, or very
much like the water at He'll Gate, New
York. Blocks of lava two feet square,
c. me up from below. frequently striking
the boats. AS the lava was qnte soft
no harm was done. Nearly all the
pieces, OH reaching the surface, were red
hot, emmitting steam and gas strongly
sulphurous. a rumbling noise was
heard like that Of rocks in freshet,
caused, no doubt, by the eruption of the
lava from the submarine crater, which
is supposed to be crack or linc of the
rupture, extending at least mile from
the shore. Another rupture, doubtless
continuation of the submarine fissure,
was traced inlsnd from the shore nearly
three miles, varying in width from a
few inches to three feet. In some
places water was seen pouring down
into the abyss below. A severe shock
Of earthquake was felt by those living
at Koawloa and Keel, during the night
Of the eruption, which must have pre-
ceeded the outbreak. II was quite Sc
wore. but NO damage reported.

Communicated
NeighbOrhOOd Gossip.

There are few communities but
what are kept in commotion, more or
less, by that insidious foe to peace
and harmony-the tattler. And while
vice and immortality run riot in our
land, there are also instances in which
slanderous reports have been circu-
lated with the most disastrous results,
of which the darkened lives and
blighted hopes of some of the most
innocent persons testify. But to the
credit of the better class of people
may it be said, that the scandal mon
ger belongs to the very lowest order
of humanity, although they sometimes
work their way up in the estimation
of respectable people, it is only to
deal out their vile traffic with more
whitening effect.
We hope in calling the attention
Of the reader to this subject, thai it
will receive the most serious consid-
Grafton. II we can add but mite in
the way of stopping this nefarious
practice in some of our otherwise
prosperous neighborhoods, we will
feel that this letter has not been writ
ten in vain. In furtherance of this
design we cannot do better than to
quote the following from the ". Y.
Graphic:
"To speak freely of a neighbor's
domgs and private affairs should seem
an inpertinence to all, and, OF course,
an improperly. II people would
spend their leisure moments improy-
ING their minds,-rcadine, or some
usetul study,-there would be no
temptation to gossip, because the do
ings Of their neighbors would form
subject much less interesting than
those which would grow out of their
own knowledge and culture. This
tells the whole story. The confirmed
gossip is always either malicious or
ignorant. The one variety needs a
change of heart, and the other
change of pasture. Gossip is always
a personal confession either of malice
or imbecili,y, and the young should
not only shun it, but by the most
thorough culture relieve themselves
from all temptation to indulge in it.
1t is low, frivolous, and too often
dirty business. There are country
neighborhoods in which it RACES like
a pest Churches are split in pieces
by it. Neighbors are made enemies
by it for life. In many persons it de-
generates into a chronic disease which
is practically incurable. Let the
young cure it while they may"
