JOHN HANNAS. being a Blacksmith by
a trade, had often felt the want OF some means
whereby could soften iron at the forge, so that
could work il at better advantage. This induced
ne to make many experiments with different suo
stances which offered the best prospect Of success:

KANSAS FOR BLATNE.

The Republican State Convention at
Topeka adjourned Thursday morning at a
quarter past one O'Clock, after one of the
most spirited contests in the history of
Kansas politics, and the result Of which
was the secretion of full set of Blaine
delegates to the National Convention at
Chicago, ON the second day of June.
This action can scarcely fail 10 meet
the hearty endorsement of the large
body of the Republican party in Kansas,
even though General Grant holds warm
place in the hearts of thousands Of stall
wart Jayhawkers, as the bitter fight
made by his friends for him in the
convention amply attests. Both of
these distinguished gentlemen have
claims upon the popular gratitude that
cannot be denied, and both have
met with answering fidelity every de-
mand which the country has ever made
upon their ample endowments of mind
and heart. But not grander, not more
heroic, is the commander of armies who
marches his hosts against the blazing
! than is the true statesman, who, in the
might of a peerless intellect, and the
rectitude of a pure purpose, meets the
advances of her insidious advocates in
his country's forum.
General Grant has enjoyed the mos
unmistakable pledges that people car
| give of the deep interest which the coun
try feels in his welfare, and no token o.
full appreciation Of his services il
averting the awful calamities ofrebellior
and anarchy has been withheld. Honori
have been showered upon him in sucl
profusion as no man, living or dead, ha
ever known. We rejoice in his success
we delight in his glorification. But no
to any one man can be awarded the higl
distinction of Americas salvation. The
brows of the living who fought and tri
umphed in freedoms holy crusade, ar
decked with laurels which sprang iron
battle-fields enriched with the preciou
blood of thousands of nameles
patriots. Neither at the point G
the bayonet were the result
of the war wholly established. TIL
dreadful era of fratricidal carnage pas
the country returned from its call t
arms and summoned to its aid the Wi
dom of the statesman, and the acume
of the parliamentarian to meet the en-,
my in another guise. To this cry JAIME
G. Blaine responded, and as the yeal
have grown green and brown, he h'
stood in the strength of his splendi
: capabilities, the faithful champion {
5 his country's rights, the untiring d.
fender of her honor.
: Kansas could have done herself L
= prouder honor than TO cast her vote wit
Blaine, though her Republicanism
broad enough, and her devotion to Il
/. principles of the party that saved the n
: ton deep enough to rally to the suppo
. of any man whose name shall illumina
}. the standard of the conquering hosts
d the battle of 1880.

IKE AND THE MULE.

Little ROCK Gazette
Old Isaac Saunders had just been ar
raigned before the church. Ike had
been assigned to circuit work by the con-
ference but had failed to adhere to his
letter of acceptance. In fact, he refused
to preach after making way with the
mule, and the three churches that alter
nately were to receive food from him
combined and had him arrested. After
the examination of several witnesses,
the colored lawyer for the defense arose
and said:
"De parson has de law ali on his side,
because he ploys lawyer and de church

The Justice, also a colored man, pom
dered long time, and at length said:
"Dc attorney hab stated one fack. De

One of the church members arose and

church people by not coming, and how
after coming he had startled them by
| failing to account for the church proper

The good sense of the American peo-
pie and the ultimate integrity of their
judgment when 1t comes to n decided
contest between allegiance to law and n
defiance of wholesome government, has
received, fresh confirmation in the results
of the San Francisco election, the Citi-
zens' ticket having triumphed over the
Workingmen's by handsome majority,
thus rebuking the dangerous heresies Of
the blatant Kearney, and forever putting
the seal ofcondemnation upon the incen-
diary teaching ofthe unscrupuloOs agita-
tor of the Sand Lots. The baser passions
ofthe bad elements OF society and the law
less impulses of misguided ignor-
ance can never rise superior TO or dom,
mate the intelligence and sense of jus
tice of people so enlightened as those
of America, and the boundless facilities
for education in this glorious land o.
ours forever precludes the remotest pos
sibility of any lasting victory Of erro
and oppression over truth and justice.

VOLCANIC ACTIVITY IN ASIA AND
AFDINA

The records of outbreaks of volcanic
force in Africa at any period are rare.
Last spring the volcanic district between
the mainland and the Canaries was uau-
sually active, and at the same time Mad
agascar was visited with several shocks
of earthquake Toward the end of the
year these were reported and extended to
the mainland of Africa, the town of lbo,
in Mozambique, being destroyed in the
early part of November With the ex-
ception of three severe shocks of earth
quake felt on July II, at Cairo. and In
the neighborhood of the Great Pyramid,
these are all the records of the kind from
Africa.
Asia, on the other hand, has been in
| one part or another the scene of lnces-
SAINT and most severe outbreaks. Early
| in March the Himalaya region was gen
| orally subject 10 shocks" which were
| followed at the end of the month and
| till April by a series of disastrous earth
auakes in Persia. Between March 2
and April 3 twenty-one considerable vii
lagos were destroyed, and more than fifty
severely damaged, while the loss of hu
man life was computed at over 1000
The villages of Mianeh, Manan an6
lark, which were completely demollsh
i ed with nearly every inhabitant, contain
ed 500 inhabitants apiece. The same
period was one of unusual activity il
Java. From March % to June . inces
SAINT earthquakes were felt in all parts o
the island. The volcanoes o
Smeru and Gede emitted enormou
quantities of lava and ashes, the latte
being carried great distances, and severa
towns and villages were injured or de
stroyed, and many lives lost, especial,
at Tjandoer, near Batavia. On June i
the scene was changed TO northwes
China, and throughout that month AM
the next a succession of earthquake
was experienced; the ground opened
, water was thrown out from the assures
. whole towns were levelled TO the earth
and nearly 1000 people persisted in di
ferent towns throughout the province
of Kansu and Shenshi. The total loss z
life, therefore, from earthquakes in Asi
during the past year must have exceet
