SHE WAS ENGAGED.-A young
woman recently answered an adj
Vertisement for dining-room girl,
and the lady Of the house seemed
much pleased with her. But before
engaging her there were some CUES
tons to ask. "Suppose," said the
lady, ''now only suppose, understand.
that YOU were carrying a piece OF
steak from the kitchen, and by ac-
cident should let it slip from the
plate to the floor, what would you
do in such a case?' The girl looked
the lady square in the eye for a
moment before asking, "Is it pri-
vate family, OF are there boarders?''
"Boarders," answered the lady.
"Pick it up and put it back on the
plate" firmly replied the girl. She
was engaged.

below, frequently striking and Earring
the boats. AS the lava was quite soft
no harm was done. Nearly all the
pieces on reaching the surface were
red hot, emitting steam and gas
strongly sulphurous. A rumbling
noise was heard like that Of rocks in
freshet, caused no doubt by the
eruption of lava from the submarine
crater, which is supposed to be a crack
or line of rupture extending at least a
mile from shore.
Another rupture, doubtless contin-
uation of the submarine assure, was
traced inland from the shore nearly
three miles, VARYING in width from
a few inches to three feet. In some
places the water was seen pouring
down into the abyss.
A severe shock of earthquake was
felt by those living at Kaowaloa and
kell during the night Of the eruption,
which must have preceded the out
break. 1t was quite severe, but 10
damage was reported.

New Hampshire Heard From.

The State election in New Hamp-
shire has resulted in glorious Repub-
licau triumph. The Republican State
ticket is elected by $500 majority, and
the three Congressional Districts have
been carried by the Republicans

the Republicans from the Granite
State. This election is particularly
significant, being the first one held
since the inauguration of President
Hayes. The new Administration be-

Submarine Volcano.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 9.-The
Honolulu Gazette Of Feb. 28th con-
tains an account of remarkable sub
marine volcano outburst in Kalakakaua
Bay, near the entrance to the harbor.
The natives report that the eruption
occurred at 8 o'clock on the Oath, APP
pearing like innumerable red blue and
green lights. In the afternoon several
boats visited the eruption, cruising
over the most active part, where the
water was in astate of peculiar activity,
boiling and appearing as if passing
over rapids, or very much like the
water at He'll Gate, New York. Blocks
of lava two feet square came up from

Movements OF President Grant.

-sT. LoUrs, March 4. Collector
Long, CT this city, has received a letter
from President Grant, in which the
latter indicates more definitely than
has yet been stated what his intentions
are upon leaving Office. He requests
Mr. Long to continue the charge he
now has OF General Grants farm and
other property here, exercising a super
vision until the Generals return from
Europe. Immediately after vacating
the chair for President Hayes, Gen.
Grant will probably visit the west
briefly, and will then start for Europe.
He will be accom- panied on the trip
on y by Mrs. Grant and his son Jesse.
and will probably remain abroad az
least the time specified. What his
exact route in Europe will be does not
appear yes fully determined upon, but
it will involve a good deal of travelling.
Collector Long thinks that after his
return from Europe Gen. Giant vii
take up his resideooe in the west, for
which he has expressed prediction,
but does not think that residence will
be at Galena 1t is more likely 10 be
at St. Louis or Chicago, if in the west

Republican City Ticket.

There seems to be dispositio 4
among the Republicans here to place
before the voters of this city a straight
out-and-out Republican ticket at the
coming municipal election. There is
no doubt but as matters now stand
this is what ought to be done. It is
evident that Republicans and Demo
crats will not unite IS they did two
years ago in solid and harmonious
anti-League party. The experience of
last spring and the subsequent action
of the Democratic party in the fall,
show conclusively that the larger por-
tion of that party are willing to ally
themselves with the League whenever
any political end is to be served, re-
CARELESS of what effect such action NAV
have en- the welfare Of the city. Not
only have the Democracy practiced
treachery and been inconsistent as
members Of the anti-Leagues organiza-
ton in, times past, but they have treated
the Republican portion of it shameful
ly. The Republicans have acted with
the citizens movement the past two
years honestly and conscientiously,
and We may say effectively, but they
have received little else than kicks and
cuffs for their pains. Their motives
have been impugned, and they have
been accused of everything except
having the good of the city at heart,
by their ungenerous political brethren.
Now, whether the Democrats Of this
city are willing to go into an arrange
ment this spring similar to that Of two
years ago We know not, but this we do
know, that there is strong feeling
manifesting itself among Republicans
that they have gotsthrough being a
football to the Democracy. That they
are through acting with party that
will fight an organization in the spring
for the benefit of the city and then
rush into its arms In the fall and elect
its Member Of Assembly for the ben
eft of party.
It is proposed, therefore, that the
Republicans at once place in the field
complete ticket selected from the
best men in their own ranks and fight
it out On that line if the ticket does
not receive ahundred votes. The Re
publicans have tried the experiment Of
voting with the Democracy at city
elections the past two years and the
result has not been satisfactory, and
now the Republicans propose to give
the democrats the choice between Re-
publicans who are known to be friends
of the city On the one hand, and the
Union Leaguers and reckless admins
tration of city affairs ON the other. IF
democrats think they can subserve
their own interests by voting for hon
est and capable Republicans for city
Offices they are welcome; if NOT then
they have the choice of either max
ing nominations of their own or voting
the League ticket, either of which
would throw the city into the hands of
the League. IF democrats wish to
turn the city over to its enemies then
let them refuse to support the Repub-
lican nominees.
Let US have a Republican city tick
ct by all means.

Perhaps the most magnificent act of
heroism ever performed in this vicinity
was witnessed during the performance of
circus at Reno on Saturday last. The
lion tanner was giving an exhibition of his
control over the ferocious brutes under his
charge, when suddenly he was observed to
turn pale and tremble The largest lion
of the six in the cage had displayed unusual
sullennnesS a1d anger, and now refused to
obey its master. With glaring eyes it
crouched in the corner and evidently med
itated spring The trainer recovered
his self possession in moment and, keep
ing his eyes firmly fixed upon that of the
huge beast, dealt 10 terrific blow with
his rawhide oper the face. With fierce
snarl the Infatuated lien bounded forward.
Catching one of his open jaws 10 either
hand, the powerful man held the brute off
for desperate moment by main strength.
An electric thrill of horror passed through
the crowd which surrounded the cage 10
an instant. The beasts 10 the other dens
shrieked and reared in chorus. 1t is in a
moment like this that the real heroic ele-
ment asserts itself. Without turning his
head in the least, the brave man firmly
whispered. Pass me small boy" One
was instantly seized aud crowded through
the bars. With one superhuman effort
the trainer thrust the boy into the hot,
closing jaws, and then bounded lightly
aside. A snarl. a few savage crunches,
and the beast turned again to his prey.
