GRANDEUR MOST TERRIBLE.

SAN FRANCISCO, July IL. - The
steamer Alameda, which arrived TO-
dag from Australia, brings particu.
lars of the fearful volcanic eruption
in New Zealand last month, which
Is among the most destructive in
the worlds history. Tho first re-.
ports of the volcanic disturbances
came from Iauraguary in Oakland
Lake district. Tho natives OF that
village were sharply awakened from
sleep at 2 O'Clock in the morning by
repeated vivid flashes Of lightning,
which continued at rapid intervals
up to 4 q. M, when a tremendous
earthquake occurred, followed quick.
iy by others. The shocks were SO
violent that people jumped from
their beds and fed for their lives in
their night clothes, making no effort
to save or take away anything with
them except their children. The
earthquakes continued to follow one
another In quick succession up to q
a. M, when eaden-colored cloud
was observed. advancing from the
south, spreading out until it covered
the sky. While still moving it burst
with sound of thunder, and shortly
afterward showers of fine dust be.
gan falling. Accounts from other
points state that Mount Tarewera
was the first volcano to break forth,
and hardly were the flames seen is
suing from its crater than the entire
Paeroa range Of mountains belched
forth in sympathy, hurting flame.
burning lava and stones over the
surrounding country. For the nrst
time in tradition the extinct vol
cano Eurapeaha was awakened into
activity. The. entire country TO the
extent 120 miles long and twenty in
breadth was nothing but mass OF
fame and hot. crumbling soil. which
in places rose to height of 1000
feet, capped at the highest point by
tn: Tskopha geiser, said to have
been the grandest in the world. Dur
ing all this time showers of dust con-
tinued to fall, until it became so
dense as to make the day as dark as
night, and not until thu second day
did the dust cease falling. 1t was
noticed that the d lst emitted strong
sulphurous smell. Numerous small
native villages were totally destroy
ed. Wairea was covered to depth
of ten feet with dust and ashes.
Rathomahaha was completely en-
quilted, as were also some other small
villages. One hundred and twenty
persons are known to have lost their
lives, among whom were several
English residents. The loss of cat
tie starved to death from the de.
struction of pastures by dust is very
great, and great distress exists
throughout all the Auckland Lake
district. One old man, chief at Rat
orna, was dug out alive after having
been buried in ashes for 104 hours.
Every effort was mads to save the
lives Of others, but in most cases
where bodies were found they were
dead. At the date of the departure
of tho steamer Alameda from Auck-
land che volcanoes were still very ac-
tive and the temperature of the hot
lakes was increasing. d. e..-e-..

The Most pernicious Class of Youth.

s Above all, deplore it as we must, it is
the historical fact that the rapid increase
of wealth in any country is always ac-
companied by the lowering of he'moral
standards. The most perhiciohs class. of
youth in America to-day is largely re-
cuited from the children of the new rich,
who are debauching themselves and cor
rupting those about them with fearful
energy. And the schools are not charge.
able with the existence or the mischief
of these youthful nalefactors. They
have little to do with the schools, except
to infect them with their own idleness
and vice: and the better the schools are,
the less likely such pupils are to remain
In them for any length of time. REV.

Preaeryation or FRENCH Yineyards.

In order to prevent the vines freezing
in the great French vineyards during ex-
rceptionally cold weather it is customary
to create large clouds of smoke around
the vines, so as to prevent radiation as
much as possible, This is now done au-
Dramatically by the aid of electricity. In
the center of the vineyard is placed a
thermometer. When the mercury in
this falls to two degrees above the
freezing point, the mercury closes
the circuit through small galvanic bat
terry. The current starts an ignition APP
paratus, which sets fire to the heaps Of
combustibles, so that IL a sudden frost
comes the whole vineyard in few sec.

The superstitions Of Circus Men.

Circus men are more or less isupersti.

succession, the third never fails to follow,
and generally proves the most severe of
the trio. Another vows that If, when
riding, his horse casts shoe, something
unlucky is about to happen. In proof of
this he mournfully exhibited a scar on
his head, which years ago the casting of
horses shoe caused him to receive. A

STEAMBOATS, IN INNER AFRICA.

Carr ying Large Vessels Overland Hun
dreds of MiIes-How 1t Is Done.
Many times within the last five years
large caravans have travelled along the
paths that lead far into Africa, carrying
strips of iron or steel, boxes of rivets
and bolts, and sections of boilers, paddle
wheels and smoke-stacks, After many
weeks these expeditions have heaped
their loads upon the shore of some great
lake or mighty river, where white men
and their native assistants have welded
the hundreds Of, pieces together and
finally launched complete and perfect
steamboats, upon the waters of interior
Africa. 'a.' '''''' .-.ust.s s.-......
Eleyen steamboats, and one sailing ves-
sci are now plying upon the great lakes
and rivers. 1t is only twenty-eight years
since Burton and Spoke were the first
white men to visit Lakes Victoria and
Taganyika. Only within the past ten
years have they and the. third great lake
Nyassa been carefully. explored, the up
per waters of the Congo visited, and the
Alma river traced on the maps. On all
these inland waters, and also on the
upper Niger, the whistle of the steam
boat Is now heard, and many natives
have learned to welcome the puffy craft
as offering them a chance to trade. ,.n.ff:

Small as the steamboats, are compared
with over river boats, they, weigh from
$4,000 to $4,000 pounds apiece. From
800 to 1850 porters were required to
transport each boat to It's destination. A
few Of the Upper Congo steamers, how
ever, were mounted sections on steel
wagons with broad tires, and Mr.. STAN
ley tells of "the awful toll of dragging
these. heavy steamers, overland before
they are set afioat above the cataracts."
These steamers were nearly all built in
England, and they pulled up and down
English rivers on trial trips before
they Ewere :, taken - to pieces and
shipped TO. Africa. Serious delay was
caused If single important piece was
lost. After the little French steamer
Djue had nearly reached the Alma river
early last year itiwas discovered that one
OF the most necessary pieces was missing
and the boat lay useless on the shore for
many months until duplicate piece
could be obtained from Europe

Mirth and Music,

With the exception of Joe Murphy, w.
j. Scanlon is the only representative of
pure Irish comedy on the stage, and in
few years will undoubtedly have the
field entirely to himself. Few actors at
the age Of 2s years have endeared them
selves to the households of the lands as
he has, nor is there a name more re-
vered by the children or more familiar
to the wives and mothers. Scanlon was
born in Springfield, Mass, on the same
street and year as the writer, and early
commenced to exhibit love for music,
which has since made him famous as a
song writer the world over. His great
est charm Is simplicity. He says: "lf
you can sing or tell something a little
child will repeat, your fortune is made.
You cannot dig in the depths of rhetoric
and have the little darlings understand
you" He composes all his songs.
both words and music, and with
his musician prepares them for
publication. The question has so
often been asked him why he does not
study music that he has about made up
his mind to do so. He will put in three
years more in this country and Aus
tralla. wnere he mas an excellent offer,
and will then 60 to sunny Italy and fit
himself for music writing. That in his
great ambition. At present he is edu-
eating a brother and sister and has I'M
selflshly put OIL the development Of his
own grand possibilities until their well
fare is assured. An hour chat with him
is a pleasure and profit. He is Peek-a-
Boo In the parlor as he is on the stage
and many home was enjoyed his pres
ence as well as his inspiration. He is
inclined to be social; is an entertaining
conversationalista and close student Of
human nature. To say that he is an
lrishman is to give him his Just dues,
and like the pure and elevated minstrel
is always ready to sing song or crack
joke.-Toledo Post. January 3.-At

The Socialist Leaders.

LONDON. February 2I.-The hearing in
the case Of Burns, Hyndman, Champion
and Williams, the socialist leaders aC-
oused Of having melted the recent riots,
was resumed to-day. The session was
devoted principally to hearing the testi-
mony of newspaper reporters as to he
exact language used by the defendants
in their inflammatory speeches.
Joseph Chamberlain, President Of the
local Government Board, and Jesse Col
Inns, NJ. Z. and author of the Three
Acres and Cow" amendment on which
the conservative ministry were de-
feated, were present during the later
stages OF the hearing. The magistrate
after the reporters had concluded their
testimony, announced that he intend
ed to commit all the prisoners for
trial. Mr.. Williams counsel upon this
arose and cOntended that his client was
"outside the indictment" and could
not, therefore, be included in the
trial. The lawyer argued that the
words used by his client we're not so
strong as language in almost daily use.
Pointing to Mr.. Chamberlain, the COun-
ttl edlNl. w uCn lnt llkhN hOhOl hblC
member for Birmingham has employed,
in the House Of Commons, even stronger
language than that imputed to my
client, he has been applauded." The
counsel declared that this prosecution
was intended to shield MIR. Chamberlain,
the Home Secretary and police, who are
answerable for the whole trouble.
Hyndman, who defended himself, de-
MED that there was any case against
either himself or his companions. He
said: ''lf am to be condemned on my
speech, then Mr.. Chamberlain should
stand in the dock with me-" Hyndman
also commended that the whole blame
rested on the police who could have pre-
vented the rioting.
Mr.. Gladstone's Private Secretary
was the next witness, but nothing of
importance was elected from him. The
prisoners were remanded until Saturday,
when they will be committed for trial
for misdemeanor.
