may remain portion Of time to be
used in intellectual improvement. The
winter evenings may lie made very use
full IN reading and study. Books and
papers are so cheap and numerous, that
no one need be without choice and prof
liable reading. The practice of reading
aloud before the family multiplies the
good received from it, by giving the
whole family the benefit of it, and no
person who sits down in the house to
read should read to himself, if the
other members of the family present
desire to hear him read aloud
Outside of the family, there are opportu-
mites to receive and impart information,
that should be used by every person.
Wherever there is a comfortable place
for meetings, clubs, lyceums, oranges,
lecture organizations, and mutual i'm
provement societies should be formed
for the benefit of the surrounding CON-
munity. The information that can be
received, and the good that can be done
in one season, by we'll conducted So
ciety, cannot be over estimated. In
our small villages and rural districts,
where there are few or no public lectures,
readings and wholesome entertainments,
the people have only to form societies,
and use their own and other local talent
to have just as pleasing, and often more
useful entertainments than are provided
in the larger towns. If in all our vii
lagos, and in schoolhouses convenient OF
access, lyceums, farmers clubs, and other
societies could be formed for the coming
winter, great good would result. The

SOME OTHER DAY.

Monday is the day on which nearly
all the live stock from this section is
sent TO market, and if there is no extra
ordinary reason why this particular day
should be used for that purpose, another
day should be selected. All the labor
Of collecting together the animals from
q wide section of country adjoining the
railroad. has TO be done on Sunday, and
the whole county is kept in more or less
uproar by the labors of the drovers and
their assistants. Beside the necessary
disturbance that must be made in col
Letting driving and earring stock, the
use of Sunday for this purpose deprives
many Of opportunities for rest and relig-
ious worship who need both.
If drOvers are not, as class, particu-
larry noted for their piety and conscien-
tious scruples about the sabbath, they
have families that would be benefited
by their presence at home and a better
example. Many of them would prefer
to spend the day at home, if they felt
that their business would not suffer by
so doing.
The reform in this thing should BE-
made in the city markets, and later
day in the week chosen for market day
and slaughter then change coult
be made in the country. 1t is not RICH
that all New England should be engaged
in collecting and driving cattle on Sun
day, because Tuesday is market day il

Without expressing any opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of the Republi-
cans of South Carolina who have been
pursued and prosecuted by the triumph
ant Democracy of that State since the
first hour they gained the ascendancy, it
is said that even if guilty as charged,
their sins would only rank as slight
misdemeanors as contrasted with the
bloody record Of many of those now up
permost in the affairs of that State, and
foremost in prosecution of Republicans
and it is claimed that Hampton and the
men behind him have forfeited every
right to the esteem, confidence and for
bearance of honorable men, by their dis
regard of their word never more solemn
ly pledged than to the President last
Spring. Richbourg, the man sent by
South Carolina to effect the arrest, Sc
cured bench warrant from Justice Car
ter on Hampton's requisition. He had
some trouble in finding the Senator, but
after hunting twenty-four hours, the
Senator sent word that he cauld be found
at the office of Col Cook, one of his
counsel Immediately after the formal
arrest, the Senator was taken before JUS
tice Humphreys on an application for a
writ of hobeas corpus, who allowed Mr..
Patterson till the 18th inst to make OBJ
! lection to his rendition. Bail was fixed,
and promptly furnished, at $4,000.

An epidemic of fraud and embezzle-
ment seems to be sweeping over the
country. Within two weeks we have
heard of the ruin of the State savings
bank, Chicago, by the dishonesty of its
president; the ruin of Brooklyn bank
from similar cause the Sl,OOO.OO0
Morton fraud in Philadelphia Gilman s
New York forgeries, amounting at least
to $200,000; and the defalcation of
$4,000 by the Hoboken city treasurer.
Such disclosures "shake everybody's
faith in his neighbor and make the
hearts of honest men sick within them. >
These gigantic robberies were doubtless
occasioned by the hard times. Men who
find themselves embarrassed in their
business, are tempted to resort to dis
honesty to save themselves from failure,
and having once entered on career of
fraud they find no stopping place. These
revelations of crime indicate careless
ness in the transaction of business which
is wholly inexcusable If a man can
raise the figures on check from 500
to $4,000, and continue for years to do
the same thing undetected, there is Gull
pable neglect somewhere. 1t is not best
to be unduly suspicious. We must put
confidence in each other to a certain ex-
tent in order to carry on business of any
kind. But a reasonable precaution
against fraud would render such whole
sale swindling less liable to be practic.

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-The Homo
lula Gazette, of the 28th of February,
contains an account of remarkable
submarine volcanic outbreak at
Lalakeakana Bay, near the entrance
to the harbor. The natives report
that an eruption occurred at 3 o'clock
on the morning of the Oath, appearing
like innumerable red, blue and green
lights. In the afternoon several boats
visited the eruption, cruising over the
most active parts; where the water
was in state of peculiar activity,
boiling and appearing as if passing
over rapids, or very much like the wa
ter at He'll Gate, at New York.
Blocks of lava, two feet surface, came
up from below, striking and jarring
boats. AS the lazy was quite soft, no
harm was done. Nearly all the pieces,
on reaching the surface, were red hot,
emitting steam and gas strongly sui
phurous. A rumbling noise was
heard, like that of rocks in freshet,
caused no doubt by the eruption of la
va from a submarine crater, which is
supposed to be a crack or a line of
rupture, extending at least a mile
from the shore.
Another rupture, doubtless con-
tinuation of the submarine iissure, was
traced inland 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 Kaowaloa and Kell during the
night of the eruption, which must have
proceeded from the outbreak. 1t was
quite severe, but no damage is report

ROME A VAST CEMETERY The ground
Oh which the Eternal City stands is
such as geologist would find it hard
to describe. 1t is mass of ashes. of
vegetable and animal detritus, cor
rupted by contact with the filth Of
sewers, constructed at different peri
|ods, without any regular plan or re-
gard to the public health. Immediate
y after the fall of the empire the law
forbdding burials within the walls
was neglected, and the city became a
vast cemetery, where the living dwelt
in perpetual contact with the dead.
First, the burials invaded the ancient
ruins; and in long experience in
archaeological research | have never
yet found single ancient building
which does not conceal corpses-often
only few dozen, but sometimes mill.
ions. The fact that each parish church
had its cemetery at its side explains
the greater part of these dismal dis
coveries, but sometimes one is obliged
to take ones self to other hypotheses
more or less problematical.
The subsoil of Piazza Colona, the
gayest and most lively spot in the
city, is strewn with corpses. 1t was
the cemetery of the church (now des-
troyed) of st. Andrea, first discovered
in 1929, in digging in the piazza for a
water conduit. The same remark ap-
plies to the Piazza del Pantheon, the
former burial ground of the church Of
st. Maria, at Martyras. In 1871,
when | was experimenting the exca-
vations in the Forum and Basilica Ju-
liza, saw carried away at least l2,-
900 cubic feet of human bones, which
had been buried at the side of the
Chapel Maria Della Grazie. A pas
sage in Flaminio Vacca is very char
acteristic: ''In the therme of Con-
stantine, says he, opposite the church
of St Silvestro, in garden belong
ing to Bernardo Acceagouli, were
found two subterranean vaults, filled
with several thousand corpses. The
entrance to these dreadful vaults had
been carefully stopped up, and the
bodies were packed so close, one on
the top of the other, that there remained
hardly cubic foot of space Free"
do not doubt that a burial place so
singular owed its existence to one of
those terrible epidemics that ravaged
the city between the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries. It is, therefore, no
wonder that during the great heat of
summer the excavations have to be
suspended from regard to public
health, and that when, under excep-
tional circumstances, something has
to be done, it is often effected at the
cost of the health or life of the work

A LAWSUIT over meteor is an event
undoubtedly without parallel in the
history of jurisprudence. Two years
ago this month q large meteor went
splurging around over Iowa, and final
ly burst to pieces in Iowa county. A
man named Mas found one of the
pieces, weighing some seventy-fve
pounds, in road that he was travel
ing over, and took it home, only to be
soon notified that it didn't belong to
him, but to society who owned the
lands through which the road ran.
He refused to give il. up, and the soci-
ETY. brought suit. Mas claimed it
was his by right Of discovery, but the
society insisted that it had fallen
on their land and belonged to the re,
atty by accretion from natural causes,
and the court sustained this view.
The society will present this chunk to
the Iowa State University, and it will
go into history as the, meteor that
there was lawsuit over.
