DIVING.

DR.. Spring, after forty years #
observation, said that he never knew
a skeptic 10 die in peace, nor a be-
lever to die in despair. It is the
faith Of the unseen future with glory
that reacts in peace and joy; and the
unbelief OF the other that covers i,
with the pail Of uncertainty that fills
him with darkness and disn,ay. The
contrast is most striking. The man
that boosted that he would destroy
the Christian religion before his death
cried out in his last moments, Il am
abandoned by God and man; l shall
go to hellr The ma who clearly
foresaw the complete triumph OF
Christianity in the coming ages, ex.

is laid up for me a crown of right

FIRE UNDERWRITERS.
Proceedings of Yesterdays Session of the
Northwestern Association.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-The second days ses-
sion of the Fire Underwriters Association
of the Northwest began this morning The
constitution was amended so as to have the
annual meeting occur in September, on a
date to be fixed by the executive committee,
instead of the third week in August, as here
tofore. The committee to which the sub
ject of State boards was referred indorsed
the idea of a paid commissioner, and
recommend that the old system of commit
tees be abandoned. Reports of State boards
showed a marked increase in the number of
local boards during the past year.
Professor A. E. Dolbear, of Tufts Col
lege, Boston, read paper on Electricity"
and in answer to queries propounded by
members as to danger from electric lighting,
said the danger from the various systems was
very great unless proper precautions were
taken, but declared that the regulations al
ready enforced by the insurance companies
of Lighting by electricity altogether safer
than by kerosene.
AT the afternoon session ], G. Grifiths, of
Madison, Wis, read paper on "Recommen-
datiOns for the future and argued that the
adopted contract system, in connection with
State boards, would result in positive reme-
dies for many of the existing evils
Mr.. c. K. Drew, of Evansville, Ind, argued
that great improvement might take place in
the settlement of losses by the general man
agement of the companies but contended
that local agents were necessary, and the
speaker defended them against some criti-
cisms passed upon them as class.
The following officers were elected Presi-
dent, c. X. Drew, of Evansville, Ind; vice
president, T. X. Collars of Ottumwa, Ia;
secretary and treasurer, ]. G. Griffith, of
Madison, Wis, and executive committee,
one from each State represented. Adjourned
to meet in Chicago on the third Wednesday
in September.

hung around the ruins of her brothers late
home, seeking what was not yet found-the
dead household Everywhere was seen an
activity of the most painful kind-men and
women seeking for the lost men and boys
digging under the burning rays of the sun
for dead bodies; soldiers and policemen
watching the thresholds whose master and
mistress no longer watched and priests
standing ready to render the last offices to
the dead. Many a mound over which stood
rude cross with shapeless sculpture
decked," showed where some poor mangled
body had found its last rest. 1t was pitiful
to see the crowds of homeless wretches with
what they had been able to rescue of their
household goods huddled amid the fig and
citron groves, which was the only shelter
they had. Many had fed from the cruel
land to the less cruel sea, and live in boats.
Tents and wooden huts line the Shore and

this city of the dead. We hear heart-rend-
ing stories on every hand. The proprietor of
one of the finest hotels in Naples lost two
sons, both promising young men and his sole
children and has gone mad with grief One
man on the threshold of his dwelling lost his
whole family and escaped with his life. The
boatman that rowed us to the steamer lost
seven. Many were buried alive under the
walls and their groans filled the cir for days.
We saw one man who had been buried to his
neck for twenty-four hours, and finally dug
out. 1t is the topic of conversation every
where, and no wonder, for the gloom of the
tragedy is over every household. with
trembling steps and slow' we left the doomed
city, feeling as though we had indeed
passed through the valley of the shadow of

away on the plains, and has given to the
volcano its name of Papandayang, or
Forge" Several volcanoes in java have
given vent to large quantities ofmud mingled
with organic matter in such considerable
proportions that they have been utilized as
fuel.
Carbonic acid gas is also frequently dis
charged in enormous quantities from the
volcanoes on the island. This fluid, being
much heavier than the air, does not ascend
but accumulates in weighty masses around
the outlet. Plants which are bathed in this
mephitic air rapidly wither, and all animated
beings die from asphyxia unless their heads
rise above the deadly atmosphere, Pakere-
man, or THE Valley of DEATH" is a small
crater on the island, the amphitheatre of
which, after the heavy tropical rains, is en-
tirely filled with carbonic acid gas. No
plant grows in this vast cavity. According
to the statements of Loudon the ground is
strewn with the skeletons of animals. AT
one time there might have been seen in it
the remains of human beings who had been
doomed to perish from the asphyxia in the
poisoned air. There is no spring cf carbonic
acid in Europe which can be compared to
that of Java, those which have been studied
in Italy, Auvergne and on the banks OF the
Rhine being but very inconsiderable emana-
tions in comparison.

From Which 1t Appears that the French Gain
All, and AMMAN Loses All.
PARIS, Aug. 30-The treaty of peace be-
tween France and AMMAN allows France to
station residents" in all the chief towns of
Tonquln, who are to be accompanied by the
necessary number of troops. France may
also construct forts on the banks of the Red

of private audiences with the sover-
eign. Cochin Chinese money is to have
currency throughout AMMAN, and the
commercial customs and system of taxation
are to be regulated by conferences,
to attend which French envoy is about to
go to Hue. The Annamites having requested
the French legation at Hue to be reopened
at the earliest possible day, Champeaux has
been appointed to proceed thither and as.
sumo charge Of affairs. The decora dons and
presents for the King ana Annamite minis
ter will be sent TO Hue shortly. The block
ade between the island OF Hong and Pank-
long will be main tained for the present.
Harmand, the French civil commissioner
for Tonquin, who negotiated the treaty of
peace with AMMAN, is appointed an officer
of the Legion of Honor for his services.
The treaty also stipulates that AMMAN
shall receive $500, 600 francs annually from
the customs receipts.

WHEN
DEVOY's DEFENSE.
He Denounces McDermott and His Com
penions Bad Men.

New YORK. Aug 30-John Devoy, editor
of the Irish Nation, has issued an address to
the Irish Nationalists Of the United States.
I'm view Of the recent publications seeking
to fasten upon me (Devoy) some response
bility for the treachery and escape from pun
ishment of James McDermott and his con-
federates," Mr.. Dewey says, Il am not an
officer OF the Clan-na-Gael, or of any other or
ganization, and have no duties or response
bilites except those that devolve upon me
as a simple worker in the ranks of the ma
tional movement and as a public journal
ist. 1 have never been associated with
James McDermott in any organization,
public or private, or in any enterprise
of any kind with which he had any
connection; have never held any correspond
ence with him, and have repeatedly during
the last few years in the most public man.
ner expressed my opinion of his untrust-
worthiness. When John O'Mahony's body
was about to be sent to Ireland, and O'Dono-
van Rosa conveyed to the obsequies COM
mittee AN offer from McDermott to accom-
pany the remains to Ireland, l proposed the
rejection of the offer on the grounds that
the mans infamous character would cast
disgrace on the whole affair. When he then
announced his intention of accompanying
the delegation as correspondent of a Brook
lyn paper, | proposed resolution, which
was carried instructing the delegation not
to associate with him, and to warn the
people of Ireland against him. A num-
Der of men who have since been
acting with McDermott in the United Irish
men, and who are apparently taking part in
the effort to make me responsible for his
treacherv, or his escape, were present at the
meeting and voted with me. When the
United Irishmen convention was held in
Philadelphia, ] publicly and privately pro-
tested against O'Donoyan Rosa giving to
that body the information which he possessed
regarding Ireland, on account of James Nc
Dermott and at least one other bad man be-
ing present. When, later on. the committee
appoin ted by the convention" waited on
me to demand an account oil the "skirmish-
ing fund" 1 gave the same reason,
among Others for declining to have
anything to do with them.
/ repeated the objections frequently in in
tervlews published in the daily papers dur
ing the next few days, and at Patrick Ford's
house charged O'Donoyan Rosa to his face
with perfidy to the national cause for plac-
ing this man McDermott and two other
men whom l named and whose utterly bad
conduct / exposed, in position to betray
men living in Ireland. Patrick and Angus
tine Ford, Judge Brenna. OF Sioux City,
Patrick Grove, of Peoria, O'Donovan Rosa,
Thomas f. Burke and myself were in the
room together during the discussion, and
none of them can pretend to forget the
scene"
