Hawam...smdwich Islands.

Hawaii, being wholly volcanic, looks
like a fortress ninety miles long, built
up by the genii. Yet, dreary as it is.
or seems from the sea, it is really full
of green pastures, ON which feed wild
cattle, the descendants of those brought
in by Vancouver, and owned by ranch
men, to the tune of ten and fifteen
heads apiece, in runs of twenty miles
long. 1t must have been sad to stand
by and see a forest burned up like so
many matches, and another with the
trees snapped off at the surface OF the
fre-1ood, the portion imbedded in the
lava being burned to dust, and leaving
a series of pock-marks on the hardened
surface. One night in 1852, it seemed
as if a solitary star was shining on the
Mauna Loa, at a spot afterward found
to be four thousand feet below the
summit. After the second evening it
seemed to die away. but soon burst
out again with amazing splendor, no
longer a star, but a column OF ire
seven hundred feet high by angular
measurement, and from two hundred
to three hundred feet broad, which
was visible one hundred miles off, and
the ashes and chared leaves o
which, covered the decks Of approach
ing ships. The lava stream was ylsl-
BILE thirty miles off; and in twenty days
there had been thrown up a cone a
mile round at the base and four hun
dred feet high, which is standing to
this day. The weird beauty of the
color-changes was something past be-
lief. Issuing white-hot from the era
ter, the lava changed first to light,
then to deep red, then to glossy gray,
with shining black patches, every tint
intermingled in constant movement,
and a very cataract Of sparks falling
from the fire pillar.
In 1855 there was ayet greater erup-
ton, from (which the town OF Hllo
narrowly escaped. One strange episode
was when a cataract of lava poured
over a precipice into a very deep rock
basin, in which a big ship might have
floated. The water was all driven OH
in steam, the basin filed up, and the
precipice changed into a glently slop-
ing plane. Months after it was a hid
eous sight to see this lava stream,
about fifty miles from its source, slug
gishly twisting about in vast coils,
whose lustrous metallic surface was
scanned with red, showing the uncooled
stream below, while every now and
then the glistening crust which hung
over this ire-stream caved in just as
'.cat's ice' breaks and shows the water
! underneath it.

Snecass with House Plants.

"a lady whose beautiful plants are the
delight of her life and the envy of all
her acquaintances, reveals the following
secret of success: The soil is about two
thirds good garden soil, and the rest is
sand. it is kept light and loose about
the roots; they are watered as they APP
pear to need it, and not according toany
particular rule; but the chief reason for
their wonderful growth and bloom is
this: ssWhen any of the leaves wither
and fail, instead Of picking them III. and
throwing them away, ! make little rolls
of them, and tuck them down in the
earth and let them decay; and this is the
only fertilizer I have ever used. This"
she added, modestly, seems to be ma
lures way. And the plants that have
the afternoon sun only, grow and rival
those that have the morning sun.

Fitz John in Office a gain.

New York, Dec 14-Unless something
unforeseen happens, Mayor Edison will
tomorrow name Fitz John Porter for
commissioner Of public works, in place
of Hubert o. Thompson. Since the war
Porter has been most of his time in this
city, where he, has held several city
offices. Porter was a graduate OF the
United States military academy, and his
thorough knowledge OF engineering
doubtless stands him in good stead now.
Aside from bis business, Gen. Porter
devotes. himself almost entirely to the
question Of his reinstatement to the
army. "The attainment Of that object. q
said . gentleman, last night. seems to
be the sole object of his existence"
"Has any thing been done in General
Polter's case since the veto Of his bill by
President Arthur"
"Yee, q petition has already been pre-
sented 70 the president for recons,der
alton of Gen. Porter's case and amonf

the opinion of Attorney General Brews

Governor Pierce is being criticised in
some of the newspapers for sending
troops to RedHeld during the late un.
pleasantness. To looker-on it appears
that the combined action of the governor
and tho court prevented conflict at a
critical period in the affairs of the coun-
ty. Section six Of chapter thirty of the
political code, and section forty y-six of
chapter five of the code of criminal pro-
cedure make it the duty Of the governor
to concentrate the territorial militia at
any point where riot is threatened,
upon the application of sheriff or
judge. Section forty-se7en Of chapter
five of the code of criminal procedure
makes it incumbent upon the governor
to call in the aid OF United States troops
under like circumstances. So the gov.
ernor is amply backed by statutory re.
quirements in the case under discussion.
