Mount Htna.

He who has not seen the sun rise from the
top OF Etna has great deal to learn about the
lmmensity and beauty of nature. Just as the
sun rises, an immense shadow of the most ex-
quisite purple is projected from the volcano
half over the island, while without its range
the light strikes, with magic suddenness upon
the tops of the mountains below. The range
OF the view is almost boundless-Catania, Syr-
acuse, and even Malta; the Tyrrenian, the 70
nian and the African seas are visible. Castro
Giovanni stands up ON its rock, conspicuous in
the centre of the Island, while the distant
Apennines of Calabria and Apulia, and the
entrance of the Faro of Messina, with the me-
diaval towns of Reggie and Pizzo, appear in
the far east, seemingly but mile distant.
The crater presents itself as real valley
profound, uneven, with hollows and promonto-
ries formed by masses of lava that have rolled
in all directions, even encroaching upon one
another. The walls of the crater are Jet black
and steel gray in color, interspersed with the
most beautiful blush, reddish greenish and
golden veins. A grave-like silence usually
prevails. A thousand smoke-stacks noiseles sly
emit long trails of white vapors that 60 slowly
to break against the sides of the era ter.
While the ascent of the cone takes at least
two hours, the descent is done in five minutes
At the base of the cone are the "Tower of the
Philosopher" and farther below, the "English
House." The latter was originally built by
the Gemellaro family, who for three genera
tions have devoted their lives to the study of
Etna. This house is the night resting-place of
the tourist who desires to see the sun rise from
the summit 1t has been several times de-
stroyed and rebuilt; once by an Englishman,
and hence the name by which it is dstin-
guished, though it should in justice be called
after its founder. The eruption of 1866 having
again destroyed it, it was again rebuilt at the
expense OF Humbert, then crown prince, now
king of Italy.
The Tower of the Philosopher is small ru-
med editice to which legends have attributed
various purposes. The remotest of them af-
firms that it was the dwelling place of Emped-
ocles, but it is probably a tomb, dating from
the time of the Roman Empire. The old story
is that Empedocles cast himself into the crater
in order to acquire immortality. More proba-
bly, he fell in accidentally while pursuing his
researches too closely Near this tower opens
an elliptic valley six miles long and nearly two
wide, which is perhaps the most singular fea
ture of the volcano This dreadful chasm, over
5000 feet deep, and called the "Val di Boye''

KENT'S HILL.
Commencement at Maine Wesleyan Sem

KENT's HILL, June 6, 1879.
The annual Commencement exercises Of this
old and popular institution of learning closed
last evening Monday was class-day exercises.
Tuesday evening prize declamations and read
ings came off. The several parts were well
sustained and reflected great credit both upon
the students and those who have had them in
training. There was not single failure
among the large number who took part in
these exercises.
Wednesday was the great day of the feast.
A literary society connected with the school,
known as the "Calliopean Society,"" held its
semi-centennial anniversary, it having been
just fifty years since its organization. This
society has always been powerful organiza-
ton, and its members are found in every state
in the Union. Hon. Z. b. Washburne, ex-
Minister to France; Hon Timothy Howe, for
Is years United States Senator from Wis
consin ex-senator Armstrong from Missouri;
VIM. H. Allen, LII. D., President of Girard
College; Rev. DR.. Joseph Cummings, ex-
President of Wesleyan University; Judge
James Bell of Skowhegan, and host of
others that might be mentioned, were active
members while attending school at the senin-
ary. The grafton before this society was pro-
nounced by Rev. \. McKeown, D. D., of Bos-
ton.
His subject was "Oratory and orators, and
was an able, eloquent production, enthusiastic
cally received by the large audience who lis
tened to it. After this came the dinner, which
was sat down to by over three hundred alumni
and friends of the society. After full justice
had been done to the bountifully spread table.

called to order by Gen. Perry of Portland.

Rev. DR.. Torsey was introduced as the Presi-

hours were spent in listening to interesting
"reminiscences of Eye olden time" songs,

THE New York Herald believes the nom
ination of Ewing is blow at both Tilden
and Thurman, and the choice made smpli-
fies the issues in Ohio so much that it may
turn out to be of advantage to the Republi-
cans. Ewing's name at the head of the
ticket means initiation of everypossible kind
He believes in it, and he will poll the
strength of that sentiment. But, on the
other hand, he will repel all the opponents
of initiation, who can easily gather round the
Republican platform. The event shows the
correctness of Secretary Sherman's pro-
gramme, ''that the true issue is national

TIE Salt Lake Tribune is responsible for
the following statement: ''The scene of
the Mountain Meadow massacre is now the
very picture of desolation. Before the Nor
mons murdered 131 innocent men, women
and children there in 1857, the meadows
were known far and wide as a paradise in
the desert, with an abundance of grass, crys-
tai streams, and ever-fowing springs. To-
day the grass is gone, the water courses
dried up, and nothing but a dreary waste
marks the once beautiful spot. 1t is said
that the earth is also sinking, and the bones
which were collected after the massacre
though thrice buried, continue to reappear,
while settlers in the vicinity shun the spot
as haunted, and say that the winds from
the meadows bring piercing cries for help
to their ears.''

for the purpose of nominating canddte for Gov
ernor, and for transacting whatever business may
properly come before it.
The basis of representation will be one delegate
for each city, town and plantation and an addition
al delegate for every seventyfve votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in 1876. A
majority fraction will be entitled to a delegate.
The State Committee will be in session the evening
preceding and at O'Clock the morning of the Con-
vention, to receive the credentials of delegates.
In selecting the Delegates the Republicans are
urged to assemble in full numbers and to invoke the
aid and cooperation of all voters who willing to
unite with them to the following ends:
l. To maintain the power and prestige of the
Union against all attempts to subvert oppose its
just authority, and to insist that the Government of
the United States shall be controlled by loyal men,
2. To discountenance and reprobate the treason
able and revolutionary course of the Democrats in
Congress- who threaten to cripple and destroy the
functions of the Government if constutionally pre-
vented from enacting their partisan measures into
law.
g. To uphold the right of the United States to
enforce its own laws wherever they are to operate,
and to frown down and put down the dangerous
heresy of the States Right secessionists who have
already plunged the country into one bloody war
and who are now attempting TO control the Govern
ment of the Union with the same measures that
preceded the rebellion of 1861.
4. To insist upon free elections-not only free
from National military inference, which no one de-
sires, but also free from the interference and vio
ence of socalled State militia and the assassns who
with deadly weapons have seized the polls in many
of the Southern States driving innocent and de-
fenceless voters from the ballot-box and making
mockery of elections, which upon free suffrage
has been made distinct political issue by every
Democrat in the Senate and House voting against
measure designed to prevent and suppress it.
5. To uphold the financial credit of the Govern
ment and to assure to the people of all sections
in all places, and redeemable in coin. And to this
end to oppose all disractng, repudiating aud mis-
chievous efforts against the peace welfare and in
dustrial prosperity of the People.
6. In these aims and purposes all citizens of
Maine are invited to unite, that the hands of the
President and of the Republican minority in both
branches of Congress may be strengthened in their
efforts to uphold the honor of the Government and
the just authority of National Law.

Abolitionism and Longevity.


Although William Lloyd Garrison lived to
his seventy-ffth year,-much longer than
most men live-a number of original abolition
lists of even greater age than his still survive
him. Some of these were very prominent in
the cause as Rev. DIR. William H. Furness of
Philadelphia, now in his seventy-eghth year;
Lucretia Mott in her eighty-seventh year; A.
Bronson Alcott, near 80; Calvin E. Stowe, II:
Lydia Maria Child, over II; Ralph Waldo
Emerson, just rs. Many other noted oppo-
nents of slavery in the days before the civil
war are not very far from Garrison's years.
Still active and vigorous are Rev. DR.. George
B. Cheever, Y, who thundered against the
peculiar institution from the pulpit of the
Church of the Puritans, then in Union square;
Oliver johnson, turned of 20; Wendell Pill
lips, almost 6S; Theodore Weld and Rev.
Samuel May, about 70; Henry 3. Stanton, SO;
Henry Ward Beecher, in his 9th year; Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, 81 the coming month ;
Rev. Drs. Edwin H. Chaplin and Henry w.
Bellows, G5; Parker Pillsbury and Stephen
Foster, in the vicinity of 70, and others less
known to fame. Abolitionism was once called
a peculiar form of mental disease 1t seems to
be disease that contributes to longevity
though the secret of the long life of the anti
slavery combatants must be sought in their
strict morality and adheranee to hygienic laws
