The volcano MaulA Loa Is situated on
one Of the principal islands in the Sand
wich group. 1t has several cralers, the
chief or largest among them beng near
the summit, at al elevation of about thir-
teen thousand feet above sea level Visi--
tors to this remarkable locality agree in
saying that the, many attempted dcscrip-
tlons OF it fail generally to convey an adc-
quatc idea Of its picturesque and awful
nlagnlticencc. In its qllicscent period il is
vast burning, boiling, sulphurons pit,
two to three miles III diameter, a lake of
molten lava, whose smoking, bubbling,
heaving surface IS a thousand tcot below

to stand. No traveller in this quarter of
the world would think that he had acuut-
ted himself i'll Il creditnblc manner who
had not undergone the urlllu,is, toilsomc
two days scramble to this, probably, the
most sublime and thrilling of the wonders
OF nature. Mauna Loa has of late years
had frequent succession of cruptions.
The present one is the ninth on record
during the past fifty years. They gener-
ally continue through a twclvcmontl, and
when The eruption is at its most vigorous
Stage there is nothing on the face Of tho
globe TO rival it in the prodigious volume
OF its fiery splcndors; Il mighty and gor-
gcous pyrotcchnic display, beside Which
the grandcst efforts OF Vesuvius or .Etna
or 1lccla would fade and be unnoticcd. A
column Of flame from this crater is told of,
at least a mile III diameter and seven hun
drcd feet in height, throwing its pale lllu-
:ninntion on a dark night over the whole
island and for miles out, across the sur
rounding waters. Then, of n river of lava

That Mauna l.oa presents just now attruc-
tlons sufficient to repay tho trouble OF five
thousand miles ocean voyage, even to un-
romantic Americans who have the requisite
means and license. These islands arc en-
tirely of volcanic origin and formation.
They arose in a night, as it were, out of
the depths of the sea; they are liable at
any time, say tho gcoogists, to sink in a
night, like another Lost Atlantis, into
whence they came.

have accomplished anything; but, ruined

which he was placed and by the boundless
opportunities of gratifying an unbrldlod

then fell and broke his legs The reason
that he gave for his failure, was that, be
sides the wings to fly with, he had omitted
to add to TO steady his course. He lived
to see and to moralizeOn the comet of 1866;
but he could have hardly lived long enough
for William of NIalmesbury to have heard
the story out of his own mouth. 1Glhcl-

to do, anything else out of the common
way. Not 50 a Sicllan magician of tho

One day beautiful woman was driving
in the Strand, London, in very low and
elegant coupe. The street was blocked
for moment, and the noble lady put her
head out to urge her coachman to drive
on. just at that instant stalwart coal
HEAVIER was passing by on the sidewalk, and,
finding bimclf face to face with her, found
no other way to express his admiration
than to seize her face between his two
hands AMI kiss her. The coal HEAVIER was
arrested and taken before magistrate,
where, as may be supposed, the lady de-
manded his condign punishment. "Wclll

The route between Boston and New
York by way Of New Haven had Just bocn
opened and l was occupying Il seat with
MIR. Webster when the cars stOpped at inc
latter city. Mr. Webster was not uuitc
well, and, saying he thought il would be
prudent to take some brandy, asked me to
accompany him in search of it. We ac-
cordingly entered bar-r0om near the Stu
ton, and the order was given. The at
tcndant, without looking at his customer,
mechanically took dccantcr from shelf
behind him and placed it near some glasses
about to help himself, the bartender, hap-
pcnng to look up, started, as if he hnd
seen spirit, and cried "StopI" with
great vchcmcncc. lie then took the de-
canter from Webstcr's hand; replaced i, on
the Shelf from whence it cnmc, and diaap-
pcarcd beneath the counter. Rising from
thsc depths, he bore to the surface an old :
fashioned black bottle, which he substitut-
Ell Tor the dccaptcr. Webster poured a
small quantity into a glass, drank 1t Off
In great relish, and threw down n half dol
lar in payment. The barkccpor began to
tumble in drawer of silver, as If selecting
some smaller pieces for change, whcreupon
Webster waved his hand with dignity, and
with rich and authoritative tones pro
nounccd these words: "My good friend,
let me offer you piece of advice When
ever yen give that good brandy from under
the counter, never take the trouble to
make chnhge." AS we turned to 20 out

then exclaimed, in a fcrvcnt half-whispcr
"By heaven, sir that man should be Pres

now rney Anu$e Iheniso,ves the
North-Summer Excursions up
tho Hudson.

Tho late cx-Presidcnt Thomas A. Scott,
nf the Pennsylvania Rtllroad, did much to
build up this great thoroughfare. and by
hat means to extend, foster and encourage
the trade Of tho whole country. To this
work was added that of catering for the
amusement aud entertainment of the peo.
plc-travelers and tourists lines are
opened in all directions by which they can
reach prominent and romantic places of
summer resort. The plans hitherto pur-
sued will be again carried out this summer
by the officers and managers of the Pcun-
sylvania Railroad, with such additions aud
amendments, as will accommodate the pco i.
pie to still greater degree. Among the
many lines Of summer travel projected by
the Pennsylvania Railroad this summer,
excursions up tho romantic Hudson stand
dcsorvodly preomlncnt. About the 251h OF
Juno, the superb steamer "Richard Stock
ton" will be restored to the Ne wburgh
route. She is now being fitted mp III
complete manner for tho summer service,
and will be as popular this summer as she
was in 1879. Captain Bloomsbury will be
at tho post of command; there will
DO full and excellent band of music
Oh board. The restaurant will be
conducted on the basis Of popular
sold on board. These features of the cx,
cursions cannot fail to commend them to
the confidence and approval of tourists
who wish safety, pleasure and profit COM
blned III one trip. The Stockton will run
every day, including Sundays, at the low
and popular rates of 1879. She will leave
the Pennsylvania docks at Jersey City at
0 A. NJ, excepting Thursdays, when her
leaving. time will he thirty minutes later.
The Stockton will stop at CoZzen's Dock,
Wost Point, in both directions, and passcn.
gers will have an hour and half, at that
point, to view the place and its iccts of
interest. She will also remain half an
hour at Newburgh, which is full of hlstori-
cal memorials. Jersey City will be reached
at G. 80 p. M. At this point connections
will be made with Brooklyn Annex boats,
and the trains Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. From Jersey City aud Brooklyn,
the price for the round trip will be half
dollar, and children half that amount
This will be delightful summer jaunt,
and the price is put on such popular
basis as to enable all classes to visit and
enjoy the picturesque and varied scenery
of tho Hudson river
