4 Submarine Volcano.

A recent number of the Honolulu
Gazette contains an account of remark
able submarine volcano outbreak in
keolakeakana Bay, near the entrance to
the harbor. The natives report that the
eruption occurred at three O'clock in the
morning, appearing like innumerable
red and green lights. In the afternoon
several boats visited the eruption, cruis-
ing over the most active part where the
water was in state of peculiar activity,
boiling and reappearing as if passing
over rapids, or very much like the water
at He'll Gate, in New York. Blocks of
lava two feet square came up from be-
low, frequently striking and jarring 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 sulphur
Gus. A rumbling noise was heard like
that of rocks in freshet, caused, no
doubt, by the eruption of lavo from a
submarine crater, which is supposed to
be a crack or line of rupture extending
at least mile from shore. Another
eruption, doubtless continuation of
INC supihdIlnc HSSuTe, was traced lnldnu
from the shore nearly three miles, vary
ing in width from few inches TO three
feet in some places. The water was
seen pouring down into the abyss below.
A severe shock of earthquake was felt
by those living, at Kaowalsa and Kelt
during the night of the eruption, which
must have preceded the outbreak. 1t
was quite severe, but no damage was re-
ported.

A Romantic Marriage.

y marriage occurred in London recent
ly, writes Mr.. NJ. D. Conway, which pos
sessed some romantic features. A few
months ago a paragraph in the papers
described amelancholy accident which be-
fell young man while out shooting. A
stray shot entered one of this eyes and ex-
tinguished it. This gentleman was highly
educated and connected, though without
fortune, and he was only twenty-three
years of age. He was brought to his
lodging. house in London, where he lay
suffering. But wealthy and handsome
young widow, on whose estate he hap
pened to be shooting when the accident
occurred, came and took up her abode
in the same house in order to nurse him.
Her care was extended through several
weeks, bHt, alas! the other eye sympa-
thized with that which had been put out,
and it, too, was eXtinguished, leaving
the youth and scholar hopelessly and
totally blind. But the pretty widow was
equal to the occasion. She proposed to
him-marriage. The result was splen-
did company alighting at the door of Il
fashionable church in our neighborhood;
a beautiful dame of thirty, attended by
her two little children, leading blind
youth of twenty-three to the altar, there to
endow him with all herextensive worldly
goods; and the two are now enjoying
their honeymoon on the fine estate, where
the gentleman may mediate on the
ancient saying which declares misfortune
and fortune to be near neighbors.

How To Do UD FIeeces.

THE wool-buyers prefer to have fleeces
loose, light to handle, and elastic. In
Ohio, the woods of which State are al
ways quoted from two to three cents
higher than Michigan woods of the same
quality the fleeces are rolled up, not
packed, and tied across twice one way
and once the other, and hence are light,
loose and elastic. A jackson buyer
well known, who buys large amounts of
wool both in Michigan and Ohio every
year, tells us that he can afford to give
two or three cents more per pound for
the woods he buys in Ohio than those he
purchases in this State, solely because of
the difference in the tying up of the two
States; and he can get more in the East
ern market for the woods put up in Ohio
than he can for Michigan woods, and
when in fact the Michigan woods are
sometimes the best in quality. The
proper way, he says, is to lay the fleece
on the table, turn in the head, tail and
TANKS, and roll it up, commencing at the
tail end, tying it with two strings TO keep
the roll in its place, and then with one
string across the ends. This is sufficient,
A fleece thus tied is light, easily handled
and examined, and can be felt all through.
1t does not need a very thorough exam
ination to determine whether there is
anything in it that is not wool.--Mchi-
gan Farmer. "

There are few changes in the styles of
ladies' shoes. Each year brings into
more general use comfortable broad
shoes that have full wide soles with ex-
tension edges; these prevent crowding,
and leave the foot in its natural symmet-
ricai proportions. ButtoneG boots of
French kid are preferred for dressy
walking shoes, and also for the house.
There has been reduction of from one
dollar to two dollars pair on boots of
nice kid. For heavier walking boots the
Curacao straight goat-skin is made upin
the style just described for kid boots.
Very serviceable boots are also made of
the India straight goat, with its deep
black color and high polish. For dura-
bic boots of medium price, Tampico peb-
Bile is made with extension edges and
neatly wrought button-holes. Boots
made entirely of serge are very little
worn, but many ladies like laced boots of
heavy English serge with foxings" of
kid. Sidelaced CATERS of kid and of
serge are made for Southern ladies, who
desire shoes of light weight. In the
summer low shoes will be worn both for
the house and street. The Newport but
toned shoe of French kid and the buttoned
sandal slashed to display the color of the
hosiery will be the favorite styles; the
Newport tie will be worn again. Misses
and children's shoes are made with low
heels and broad soles, giving the foot its
natural shape and position; for very
small children heels are abandoned alto

Rotation OF Crops.

Farming, as it has in too many in
stances been conducted, impresses us
with the conviction that books and agri-
cultural papers have not received gen
eral invitation to aid the pillow in any
way, but that the production of crops
has been more matter of chance and
necessity than of any systematic course
Of cultivation. The owners of the land
do not seem to care how the crops are
produced if the immediate pecuniary re-
suits are of a satisfactory character.
1t is now pretty generally known that
certain principles underlie the science of
the cultivation of the soil, and that I'm.
less these are understood and made the
basis of our system of cropping, manur.
ing and cultivation, we shall fail in pro-
ducing annual crops of an average yield,
The general desire among farmers, how
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-05-12

ever, is to get as much grain from the
soil, with as little outlay, as possible,
and yet keep the land in good heart, :"
or, in other words, in productive con-
dltion. 1t is well known that the differ
emit crops take from and exhaust the soil
of certain elements of food peculiar to
themselves; it is for this reason mainly
that the adoption of systematic rota-
ton of crops is so important. If this is
not done general failure will inevitably
take place sooner or later. 1t is this
random, reckless lack of system in our
farming operations, where the soils were
originally not very fertile, that is pro-
ducing such disastrous results; the first
thing, therefore, to be taken into con-
sideration, in order to effect the desired
change, is to adopt a proper system of
rotation of crops.
In determining such a course of rota-
ton, the nature of the soil and of the
crops to be produced from it must be
considered in their relations to each
others.
1t is now generally conceded that all
the cereal crops derive their food princi-
pally from the soil, and that each species
of them requires certain kinds and pro-
portions of food peculiar to themselves.
A proper rotation of crops is usually
termed a siX-shift course, and is arranged
in the following order: green crops, grain,
clover, grains, beans or potatoes, grain.
The rotation is arranged in this way so
that only one-half of the cultivated land
will be in grain at the same time. Sup
pose, however, that wheat, oats and bar
ley follow each other in three successive
courses, is it not evident that the supply
of phosphoric acid, potash, soda and
other elements of which the supply in
soils of an ordinary fertility is exceed
ingly limited will, if such course of
cultivation be persisted in, soon render
the land unproductive? The course of
rotation mentioned is such that at least
two top-dressings of barnyard manure
could be given to the land, the first being
given to the green crops the first year,
and the second during the fifth year, to
beans, potatoes or some similar crop.
The system of rotation given may not be
applicable to all localities, but will serve
as a guide in determining one for any
special locality. Good common sense
and close observation will enable the
thinking farmer to devise a course that
will enable him to maintain and increase
the fertility of his land and put money
into his .-RurGJ World.

SAN FRANCISCO is the most romantic
city on the continent. The elopement
of Sammy Sharp, age nineteen, and
Katie WATSON, age fourteen, is sweet
and touching story. They lived and
loved in Sacramento County, and his
father, rich farmer, took shotgun
and followed them to San Francisco.
But he was too late. They were minors
and could not get a marriage license ex-
cept on the requisition of the parents !;
but they were advised by counsel that
the States jurisdiction did not extend
beyond three miles from the coast, so
they determined to charter tow boat
and parson and to marry on the high
seas. The weather was clustering, the
waves ran high, and the wedding guests
were sea-sick-very. When the Eliza
beth Mary towboaO was a marine
league from the heads the clergyman
called the children aft and married them.

Frog Soup.

Mr.. BRECK's father was rich mer-
chant in Boston, who was agent for the
French Government, and brought into
close connection thus with the French
officers attached to the squadron which
for a time was anchored in Boston Har-
Dor. His house was the resort of for
eigners, who were looked upon with un-
bounded curiosity by the Boston people,
brought for the first time into acquaint-
ance with nation uniformly traduced
by the British. 1t was incredible to them
that persons who were popularity supposed
to subsist mainly on frogs should be so
plump and well-favored; but the original
facts were stoutly maintained and sup
ported by the rumor that they had been
discovered hunting for their favorite
food in the frog pond on the Common.
With this last notion in his head, Mr..
Nathaniel Tracy, who lived in beauti-
full villa at Cambridge formerly Wash
ington's headquarters, and now Mr.. Long
fellows house,, made a great feast for
the Admiral and his officers. Every
thing was furnished that could be had in
the country to ornament and give variety
to the entertainment. My father was
one of the guests, and told me often after
that two large tureens of soup were
placed at the ends of the table. The
Admiral sat at the right of Tracy, and
NJ de pEtombe on the left. LEtombe
was consul of France, resident at Boston
Tracy filled plate of soup, which went
to the Admiral and the next was handed
to the Consul. AS soon as L'Etombe put
his spoon into the plate, he fished up a
large frog, just as green and perfect as
ii he had hoped from the pond into the
tureen. Not knowing at first what it
was, he seized it by one of its hind legs,
and, holding it up in view of the whole
company, discovered that it was full
grown frog. AS soon as he had thorough
ly inspected it, and made himself sure
of the matter, he exclaimed, An! mon
Dieui une greHOuilLeh Then turning to
the gentleman next to him, gave him the
frog. He received it and passed it round
the table. Thus the poor crapdad made
the tour from hand to hand until il
reached the Admiral The uproar was
universal Meantime Tracy kept his
ladle going, wondering what his outland-
ish guests meant by such extravaganza
merriment. What's the matter2' asked
he; and, raising his head, discovered the
frogs dangling by leg in all directions
Why don't they eat them?' he exclaimed
: If they knew the COMPOUNDED trouble ]
had to catch them in order to treat them
to dish of their own country, they would
find that with me, at least, il was no jok'
ing matter. ~ From " An Old Gentle.

his departure approached, she bent for
ward and exclaimed with earnestness: l
know l shall like you; you don't know
how much good you have done me; you
have made me feel the need of greater
faith" And then, adjusting her hearing
apparatus, she continued: Pray for me,
my pastor, right through my trumpet"
This was too much; the gravity of the
young minister was greatly disturbed as
he pictured to himself the appearance he
would present in executing the request
of the pious dame, and he excused him
self as well as he could.
