THE lava flow scoms by all recent
accounts to be gradually, and of late not
very slowly making its way to the sea.
The Waiakoa stream is tho moro advanced
but that above tho town of Hilo and on
the Wailul,u river side is the more form
idable. Ono thing is certain, as long as
the outpour from the mountain con
tinucs, so long must the lava streams
progress; tho course they will take and
the width, and the rapidity Of advance they
will reach TO, must be determined by the
two great factors volume OF output, and
contour of the land. As fur MS we can judge
from the plans, drawings, etc, exhibited
and from information, verbal or written,
that we have been able to acquire, the
Waiakea stream may reach tho sea almost
harmlessly; between its present lowest
point and the town of Hio is at least
mile and half, and this is almost all bog,
swamp and boulders. Waiakea mill and
cane-iields may bo passed by, but the more
serious danger seems to be ON the side of
the Wailuku river. If the flow continues,
the basin of the Wailuku must be entered
upon and the lava must pour down the
bed OF the river and that side of the town
seriously imperilled, 1t is allowed by
those most capable of forming an opinion
that no human effort can alter or divert
the course of the flows the peculiar viscid
semi-huid nature of the lava with the
tremendous pressure from behind has
occasioned it more than once to ascend an
incline, and sometimes it has spread later
ally where least expected to do SO, some
times bursting tho crust of cold lava at
the foot of the flow, sometimes breaking
through the sides, and sometimes making
its way through the top crust and running
over its own deposit of a few days before
We can only watch and await events the
course of which no human power can con
troll, or even influence in the smallest
leUree

NIGHTFALL.
BY MARY ROwLEs.

The hush of twilight, far and wide,
Falls on the green and sloping meadows,
All tremulous the aspens stand,
BY way-worn zephyrs lightly famed,
Where the clear brooklets min e tide
Sweeps onward to the shadows.
All day its sun-fl; clSed ripples flow
Through pastures strown with hay and
clover;
Through lonely glens where aders lean
To kiss the dimpled waves, unseen
And sweet wild roses blush below
The brambes dropping overl
BY this low bridge and moss-grown fence,
In ftlul mood its music tarries
While tlutod bcech-leaves wide dlspread,
And circling swallows overhead
Move lightly, till each wavelet hence
Some fair reflection carries,
Up the broad shoulders of the hills
Soft twilight shadows climb and darken !;
But ON their faces, westward set
A smile of sunset trcmbles yet,
And there u throstle sings, and thrills
The world below TO harken!
Far off the cuckoos plaintive call,
Scarce separate from the silence fingers
In shadowland the blossoms sleep,
Where whiterobcd msts arise to keep
Their nightly watch, caressng all
With silent, dewy fingers.
The stars peep forth, the a. erglow
Fades slowly out behind the larches;
The birds are hushed--savc one that seems
TO chirp a little in his dreams
When outcast breezes family blow
Adown the woodland arches
The ripples vanish, seward drawn
The flowers in sleep their perfume render
So nightly round each darkening slope,
The light is sown in patient hope,
That the rich harvest Of the dawn
May rise in golden splendorl

of the terrOrs of poverty have lost their
weight for at least a time, and not few
Of Bart's citizens are no doubt relieved.
Mr.. Abner Armstrong fell from load
OF moving a few days ago and was
somewhat seriously injured, but at pres
ent is slowly improving.
Arthur Thomas, of Green Tree, the
coachmaker, has left Bart for . certainty
this time, and gone across the river to York
county. Many are the hearts that are
sad since Arthur has left the township and
no doubt some disappointed ones are look
ing with longing eyes to the westward.
The work on Martin & Fritz's tobacco
warehouse goes steadily on, but has been
somewhat retarded this week by the rough
weather. The frame work is ready for

burnt store will be covered with a more
imposing building.
John E. Draucker started with his to-
baccO to Lancaster on Saturday with quite

required eight two-horse teams to take his
crop.

were not very large and some not fully

ried. The bride wore white silk and
satin, enriched with embroidery, beads
and pearls. There was suspended over
the bridal party large bough, cut
from Marechal Neil rose tree, heavily
laden with buds. The presents were
numerous and of rare beauty, not the
least OF which was check for a large
sum from Miss Morse's old friend, Samuel
J. Tilden. After collation. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rummel started for Washington, where
the German Ambassador will soon give a
reception in their honor. They will sail
in the steamship Main for their new home
in England.
JOHN W. MAcKAY, the bonanza king,
one Of the richest men in the world, is a
slender, tallish, wellknit man Of forty
seven, with a clean, well-marked face.
showing decision and frankness. His hair
and moustache are brown, tingcd with
gray. His eye is keen and penetrating,
his skin is ruddy, wholesome, vascular,
tanned with Nevada sunshine and steamed
in the Turkish bath temperature Of the
lower level Of tho Comstock lode. He is
all muscle and nerve and shows temper
ate and careful habits. When he walks it
is with the sure, agile tread of tho leopard
Or the lynx, like one who might spring at
any moment. He speaks with q half
stammer, which at first impresses one as
being the slowness of a man who deliber-
ates while he speaks. Tho miners come
up and speak to him aud call him 'John''
and there is between them sense of CON-
mand blended with comradcship which ap-
pears odd to metropolitan eyes.
