Terrible Effects from a Volcano.

The captain OF a German steamer just
arrived at Hong Kong, reports singular
condition of things in the island Of New
Britain, in the South seas. He found the
whole Of the northeast coast enveloped in
dense smoke, aud he experienced great
difficulty in proceeding up the channel be-
tween it and New ireland, as fields Of
pumice stone, several feet in thickness,
covered the surface of the water. On Feb.
8 he reached Makada, Duke Of York group,
and found that three craters had broken
out in the New Britain peninsula, from
which dense masses of pumice stone were
continually being thrown up. The passage
between Duke of York Island and Blanche
bay had been completely closed by a COM
pact field of pumice stone, about five feet
in thickness, according to the statement of
the Captain to a Hong Kong paper. A
tidal wave swept over Blanche bay on Feb.
10, and soon afterward a new island ap-
peared, about three.quarters of a mile in
diameter. This island is situated to the
south Of Henderson Island, and where it
now is no bottom was previously obtained
at seventeen fathoms. 1t is probable that
other alterations have occurred which could
not be observed at the time. owing to the
masses Of floating pumiee stone. The
Captain of the vessel mentioned further
says that the water in Blanche bay was
scalding hot for two days, aud that i'm
mense quantities of boiled fish and turtle
were thrown on shore and eagerly devOur-
ed by the natives, who were starving in
consequence Of the unusual dryness of the
season.

IN NIEMORIAM.

In the death of Mrs NJ. Emile. the es-
teemed wife of James II. Steele, Esq, the
family aud an extended circle of friends have
sustained severe loss. All that kind affec.
ton and skill could devise to stay the hand
of the destroyer was resorted to, but fell mon
ster claimed her as his own, after painful
and lingering illness. She needs no enlogium,
save to say that those who knew her best
loved her most. Her life was purified by af.
Fiction and sanctiied by an abiding faith in a
kind Saviour, beautifully expressed by Israel
sweet singer when he sang, Though walk
through the valley of the shadow of death l
shall fear no evil. Thy rod and staff they
comfort me. The sad event occurred on
the DIST inst. On Monday, the 9th instant
the remains were placed in a reserved car,
attended by large number of stricken friends
and taken to Mt. Calvary p. E. Church, Bal
timore, where the solemn and impressive rites
of the Episcopal Church were held, and from
thence 10 Mount Olivet Cemetery, where the
burial service was concluded and the remains
committed to their final resting place, by the
side of an honored and devoted mother, in
the full and glorious hope of christian res
direction. Fred'k. and BALTIC. papers please

In the midst of the festivities of Commence

genee OF the death of the young lady referred
to IN the following article from the l.ynchburg
TirgiRidn. Miss Reynolds was student
of the College in 1S72-73, and is remembered
by many here as young lady of charming
character. The sorrowing relatives have our
sincere sympathies. 4 FRIEND.

Flying Ship.

IN experiment was made on Wednes-
day OF last week at Hartford. Conn. with
tying.shlp that demonstrated the posi-
bility OF navigating the air. A machine
was buoyed in the air not by an expansive
force OF hydrogen gas, but by the revolu-
ton OF wheels that lifted it up as bird is
lifted by the stroke of its wings II Is
obvious that mere balloon can never he
fying-ship, because being lighter than
an equal bulk of air, it floats, and conse-
quently drifts with the wind. The essen
tial thing in the fight of birds is weight
If the bird were lighter than the air il
also would drift. Now, though this ma
chine is lightened by cylinder of HYDRO
gen gas, yet its weight is not wholly lifted
IL still remains on the ground. When
the navigator takes his seat the additional
weight OF mans body is to be lifted.
The whole apparatus is lifted by reyol-
wing fan that acts upon the air as the screw
of a propeller does in the water. The fan
makes 2 800 revolutions per minute. Sim
liar fans working upon horizontal axes
propel it along as the navigator may de-
sire. In the experiment on Wednesday
the operator went up to the height of two
thousand feet, going high or low as he de-
sired facing as he wished, going with the
wind or against it, turning around at will.
and after going a distance of about ten
miles, returned against the wind and landed
within few feet of where it started.
This Is sufficient to show that the naviga-
ton OF the air is possible; it yet remains
TO show that it is practicable, safe and
economical. Until this is done it will be
a mere scientific toy, having no more use
than velocipede. Still it must be evil
dent that the inventors are now on the
right track and that improvements are pos
sible which will make the flying. shin the
safest and swiftest method of crossing the
ocean, and realize the dream of Tennyson
of the nations airy navies battling in the
central blue"

House Of Reformation.

The editor of the Marlborough Gazette,
gives an interesting sketch of the workings
of the House of Reformation. at Chelten-
ham, in Prince Georges county. This In
stItution was established few years ago
for the reformation and education of color
ed boys, and is under the management of
General Horn, gentleman who has PROV
en- eminently fitted for the responsible
position. The editor gives description of
the building and its several departments
and We regret having only room for the
following extract:
Everything is conducted with the
greatest method and system. and the time
divided so judiciously that each hour brings
its appointed duty. 0ne-half the bows at
tend school in the morning, while the 9th
er half work on the farm, or at the various
tasks assigned them. In the evening the
order is reversed, and the laborers 90 to
school and the scholars take their place
in the field
Every one committed to the institution
is under its control until he is tweuty.one
years of age. 1t is a rule to release none
under one year, and it is desirable that all
should remain three years to form habits,
and those discharged can be returned by
their employers for misconduct. No in
mate is received unless in good health and
proper subject for reformation and in
struction. Though the boys are ON an
open farm comparatively few have attempt
ed to escape and most of thosa who enc
ceeded were shortly returned The insti-
tuition is not prison but a manual labor
school, imparting useful knowledge to meet
the wants and necessities of life."
Or the day of the editors visit, there
was only one sick occupant of the hospital.
The farm comprises $50 acres, and is be-
ing brought into high state of cultiva-
ton. There is thrifty young peach or
chard of 5000 trees.
