Hawaiian brig Violet. which is on fire.
The Tnscarora, IN coming up the coast
from Mexico, discovered the Violet on fire

The sea was too heavy at the time to APP
proach the brig, but tho steamer laid by,
and piloted her into Half Moon Bay, where
the passengers and mails were put ashore.

for this port. The Violet has a cargo on
board valued at about S25 900, including a
lot OF lime, gunpowder and other cumbust-
ibles. She left this port ten days ago for
Honolulu. She will probably have to be
| scuttled, and the cargo will likely prove a
total loss. The origin Of the fire is un-
known.

HAVANA, October Is.
A French steamer from st. Thomas has
arrived, bringing further particulars OF
the insurrection in Santa Cruz. The in
surrection broke out in the western end Of
the Island, where three-fourths of the
towns we're burned and pillaged. The
insurgents then traversed the Island to-
ward Bossan. but fortunately the timely
| arrival Of forces from st. Thomas saved
| tina part of the Island. Sixty-seven sugar
estates were burned, and only nine of any
value remain. The principal leaders Of the
insurrection are now undergoing trial.
About 800 insurgents are still scattered
about the country. The cause of the in
surrection was short payment Of wages
and the refusal Of the authorities to give
passports to the negroes. Santa Cruz was
already declining rapidly, and the Island
is therefore totally ruined. The merchants
Of st. Thomas lost heavily by the insur-
rection.
Advices from San Domingo say there are
no tidings Of the American schooner Jor-
don l.. Moatt, carrying ex-President Con-
zaley and ~ Of his followers to Cusacho,
and it is feared they all persisted in the
severe hurricane which swept the south
coast Of San Domingo, on the 29d Of Sep

Should an eruption occur in this volcano,
and cause the destruction of one-half of the
inhabitants who live in the vicinity, the re
mainder, who barely escape with their lives,
immediately move back upon the half-coiored
lava. and there live in constant fear of another
eruption. foolishly fancying that the only
remarkable portion of the earth rests within
the shadow of the great volcano. This fairly
illustrates the force of habit, and the presis-
tency with which people cling 10 opinions
when once formed. For example DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures incipient con-
sumption, coughs, colds, and all affections Of
the liver and blood, yet some still depend
upon physicians and remedies that have
naught but repeated failures to which they
can refer. And although DR.. Perce's Favor
tie Prescription is sold under positive guar
antee to cure those weaknesses peculiar to
women, and notwithstanding that thousands
OF women bear testimony TO It's efficacy, and
the truth of all statements made concerning
it, many yet submit to the use of ca1stic aud

alive Pellets, no larger than mustard seeds,
Will positively cure constipation, where it IS

In the face of such facts can we wonder at
the blindness of the poor Italians?

Trust a Boy.

During the session of the late Eplsco-
pal convention in Boston, the Bishop OF
Louisiana, in crossing the common met
boy whose face he fancied, and, calling to
him, asked if he had anything to do just
then, to which he said no. Are you
good bow" The little fellow schratched
his head and replied: Il am not a very
good boy. cuss little sometimes"
That candid answer inspired the bishop
with confidence, and he then said, after
giving bis name and address: Il want
you to 90 to q certain place and get bun
die for me, and bring it to my hotel.
There will be charge of So; here Is the
money TO pay it. and half dollar which
you will keep for doing the Grand" On
his return to the hotel, the bishops friends
laughed at him for his credulity, telling
him that he would never see the boy or
the bundle or the money again, but in
half an hour the young chap returned,
bringing the bundle and receipted bill
for $3.50, the bishop having made slight
mistake as to the amount that was due.
"How did you manage to pay the extra
half dollar?n he inquired. II took the
money you gave me for the job. | knew
that YOU would make it all right" And
sall right it was made, and ! have no
doubt that the confidence that was reposed
in that boy, because of his truthfulness,
will do him good as long as he lives
