The Philadelphia Record remark that
next to, if not in preference to, the vel.
low fever, the South should pc quar-
antined against the Reverend Conway
who is trying to induce various people
with more money than sound judgment
to subscribe for the purpose of charter
ing a steamboat to go from Cincinnati
to the neighborhood of Vicksburg, fol-
the purpose of transporting negroes to
Kansas. At a meeting in New York on
Monday evening this adventurer Con
way is reported as saying that Philadel-
phia and Boston had each pledged S.
GOO for the support of his nefarious
scheme We should like to learn if any
resident of the former city has been SO
rash as to have aught to do with any
propositions put forth by this stlrrer-up
of strife. Parson Newman, the great
Consulship inspector, was on hand to
'indorse' Conway and his scheme"
AS the Lynchburg Vrginian says, sit
would be greatly better for Philadelphia
and Boston to send money for the relief
of the destitute negroes who have al
ready been enticed from their homes by
such marplots as Conway, and are now
suffering in Kansas for the necessaries
of life.U

the eruption of Mount Etna, which has
continued for some days, and has been
followed by an earthquake which de-
stroyed five villages and the town of
Aci Reale, situated in the province OF
Catania, On the east coast of Sicily, and
about three miles from thef foot of Mount
Etna, due south. Aci Reale was a sea-

mineral waters. Its population in 1871
was 35, 1877. 1t was situated on hill of
lava with preclpice over $50 feet high,
facing the sea, in highly picturesque
region lying between Mount Etna and
Catania, eleven miles northeast of the
latter, at the mouth Of the small river
Aci. The town was well built, princi-
pally of lava, and had many churches,
converts, and towers. Great quantities
of linen diaper were manufactured in
the town, and near by is the famous

LONELINESS ON THE OCEAN

Any one who has never Travelled on
the ocean expects to find it somewhat
thickly populated. He thinks of the
vast travel and traffic that goes over the
waters, and he is ready to imagine that
the great deep is alive with this hurry
ing to and fro of nations. He reads of
lands whose commerce whitens every sea.
and he is ready to think the ocean is full
of sails as the harbor of some mighty
metropolis But he finds his mistake,
As il leaves the land, the ships berin to
disappear; as he goes on his way they
soon all vanish and there is nothin" about
him but blue sea and blended sky. Some
times he may meet or overtake a solitary
ship through the day; but then. again.
there will he many days when not sin
Gle sail will be seen. There are spaces,
measured by thousands of miles, over
which no ship has ever passed The idea
of nations commerce whitening every
sea is the widest fancy. If all the ships
that ever have been built were brought
together in a single feet, theg would ill
but hands breadth Of the ocean. The
space that man and his works occupy on
the sea is so small in its extent that the
hold on it by his power is slight and super
fetal. Both together are as nothing
The ocean covers thrce-fourths of the
globe, and by far the greater portion of
this is and ever has been free from mans
presence and visitation.
