TKLEGRAPHIC information from Eng
land, has been steadily to the effect that
the wheat crop in that country has been
very greatly damaged, but real testimony
from frat hands in the following brief
extract from letter from large Touring
firm in Bristol, to the owner of one of
the largest Touring mills in this city, tells
the story in way and manner such as
will satisfy the mind of the most skep-
tical. The writers, Messrs. Budget, james
& Branth, under date of August 20, 1881,
say, I'VE confirm our letter of the 18th
instant. We have had most deplorable
weather for the last ten days. Up to
within about week ago, no actual harm
had been done 70 our crops, but during
the last few days wheat has begun to
sprout, both that which is lying out in
the field and that which is still uncut
We should not be surprised if, after har-
vest, it is found that nearly one third of
our entire crop has been rendered unfit
for milling purposes and if TO this we
add that the yield of wheat, which has
already been threshed in the south of
England, has proved very deceptive, we
are face to face with another ruinous ag-
ricultural year, and we shall have to i'm
port at least as much as last year" Such
is the situation relative to the crop In
England and once again will that coun-
try be compelled, in large degree, to
depend upon America for its main sup
ply of breadstuffs. And, though our
own crop is materially curtaied by the
drought, we apprehend we will have no
difficulty in meeting the demand, but at
prices considerably in advance of those
which prevailed during the year 1880.

Eruption OF MAuna Loa.

The great eruption of lava from hau
IA Los, In Hawa ali, had continued, at lat
est advIces from the island, for nearly
eight and s-half months The mighty
mountain had poured forth from its up
per vents, near kokuaw eoweo, the sum
init crater, river of lava, about fifty
miles long and varying from half mile
to four miles in width, which WAS APP
preaching Hilo, threatening to destroy
the town, TO fill up the harbor, and prob
ably, as on s former occasion of erup-
ton, invade the Pacific Ocean and add
many thousand acres to the area of the
Archipelago. This body of lava con-
sisted of two main streams, one flowing
toward Mauna Kea, the other toward
Kilauea- Between these streams others
of very liquid paihoehoe have divided
and subdivided on the sides of the noun
tain, on the plains below, and in the
great forest between the mountain and
the sea.
In one of his latest letters from Hilo,
DR.. COan says: Some parts of the fiery
line are still operating in the woods about
five miles distant, but the southeastern
wing has come through in force, and
from this wing the stream which now
threatens us has advanced four miles
from the main body. Should its speed
increase it will soon enter our town in the
channel which cuts the beach about in
its centre, and enter the harbor. But as
the body of the fiery fusion Is too large
to be confined to the water channel, it
will probably spread on both sides, and
thus consume many buildings. 1t is
amusing to see the children and even
Older people gathered at the lower end
of the fiow, and along its margin, all
eager to collect specimens from the Wis
cid streams, moulding with poles the
plastic mass, as the potter the clay, into
various forms of cups, vases. birds, fish
es, etc. These are readily sold at various
prices to strangers.

the banner under and for which he
fought. He was three times elected Gov
ernor of Rhode Island, and st the time of
his death was United States Senator from
that State 10 which honorable position he

General Burnside always had warm
place in his heart for Indiana and took
great pride in her wonderful prosperity
and material advancement, and we feel
sure that the death of this genial, warm
hearted and social gentleman will not be
more regretted and lamented than by the
people of his native State. He was twice
married, his second wife, however, pre-
ceeding him to the grave several years
since. He left no immediate family.

The Jumping Evangelist.

Chicago paper, speaking of the
evsngelistic efforts of Rev. Mr.. Harrison,
otherwise known as "The Boy Preacher, y
says that "he did actually, on Friday
night, jump up three feet and light on
top of the narrow altar rail, where he
hung like rooster, and shouted, Glory
to God until he lost his BREATH A
New York clergyman, who was present
at several of his meetings, says that
Brother Harrison WAS necessarily telling
the Lord and the people that the audi
ence was "spellbound with divine pow
err" when little excitement was appar-
ent outside of the shouting, nervous lit
tie evangelist, who for peculiar whoop
and clapping of hands and dramatic &C
ton is ahead of anything ever seen upon
this earth" Another observer says: "dis
peripatetic exercises beat the Gagged bears
in our parks. He is ali over the pulpit
platform, and down into the aisles of the
church, and back again as quick as a
flash" These peculiarities insure Brother
Harrison large audience wherever he
goes, and make him well worth the hun
bred dollars a week which he charges for
his evangelical labors.
