A NEW VoLcANo.-A new volcano, one
of the largest and most interesting in the
world, has recently been discovered in the
Pacific ocean, near the island of Honga
Tonga. Mr.. II. shpley, the consul at Auck-
land, New Zealand, sends to the State De-
partment the following account oft:
"a new and vast volcano has arisen in
the Pacific ocean. At daylight on October
Is we observed dense volumes of steam,
smoke and clouds ascending. We sailed
sufficiently near to see that it was subma.
rine volcano eruption. Considering it not
prudent to approach any nearer that night
we lay to until morning. We then ap-
preached to about the distance OF two miles.
I have not words to express my wonder and
surprise at its changing splendor. Erup-
tions took place every one or two minutes,
changing its appearance every second like
dissolving view. I can only say it was
one of the most awfully grand sights ever
witnessed on the high seas. As near as
am able to calculate the position of the vol
cano, it is about fourteen miles from the
island of Honga Tonga. AS to the size of
the island thrown up am unable to state
correctly, there being So much steam and
clouds hanging over it, but Judge it is at
least two or three miles long aud sixty feet
high, latitude 81 deg. 81 M, longitude Is
deg. 2S N.

The Gatherinc of the Press

The annual meeting of the Georgia
Press Association, to be held in Balm
bridge on Wednesday, will probably be the
largest assemblage of newspaper editors
and proprietors ever held in this State.
Many Of them will have to remain in
Townsville on the night of March II,
and the citizens of that town have made
arrangements to entertain them. At
Bainbridge the citizens also have ar
ranged to extend to the visitors the we'll
known inequalities of the Oak City. A
part of the programme at cambridge was
an excursion on the Flint and Chatta-
hooohee rivers to ChattahOochee, during
which banquet was to have been given
to the Press Association, but, owing to
arrangements previously made by tho
President of the ASSOCIATION 10 go by rail
to that point, the river excursion has
been abandoned. The committee OF
citizens of cambridge propose to give the
newspaper men a hearty South Georgia
reception.

New Studies in the Public Schools.

New Studies in the Public Schools.
The agitation in favor oflaws requiring
the evils Of alcohol and nicotine to be
taught to children in the public schools
has rapidly spread from one state to
another. Several Legislatures now have
bills before them relating to the subject,
and the movement appears to have the
Endorsement of the better elements OF So
cietv all over the country. Many prOmi-
nent men and journals opposed to prohl-
billion and sumptuary laws of all kinds
favor this measure, as an essential part
of that moral education that tends to
make men and women competent judges
and directors of their own conduct and
haJits.
IL has been charged that the movement
had its origin with the publishers Of
text book covering this subject, and this
charge has served to defeat the passage of
the proposed laws in Pennsylvania, and
perhaps one or two other States. Whether
the charge is true or not, it is not likely
that any one firm could long monopolize
the trade in such book. Other works
of the kind will, no doubt, be on the
market at a very early day. In fact, it
seems that no very elaborate or expensive
text book would be required. short
course Impractical lectures, accompanied
with appropriate illustrations, would
probably have more effect on the minds OF
pupils than an extensive course OF study
of the medicO-scientific questions involved
in the subject.
It can be but a matter Of time when the
effects of alcoholic liquors and tobacco,
perhaps other articles of drink, diet and
common use, will be taught in all public
schools. 1t is necessary that every thing
should be taught to children that will en-
able them to preserve their health, and
contribute to the forming OF strong moral
character. No one denies tie evils that
proceed directly from the excessive use
of alcoholic liquors. The evils occasioned
by the use Of tobacco are much less mark
ed and far reaching in their effects, but 1t
is universally admitted that smoking and
chewing as we'll as snuff taking are at the
least offensive and useless habits, and
should be discOuraged.
This matter OF instructing the youth OF
the land relative to the evils that intOxi-
eating liquor and tobacco will receive,
doubtless, the attention OF the Boards of
Education in the different States. In
no WAY. perhaps, can public sentiment
be so thoroughly and intelligently built
up as through the influence Of the public
schools.
