Further Details OF the Recent Great

Volcanic disturbance.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. a.-The steamer
Mariposa, which arrived last evening
from Australia, brings further details OF
the great volcanic disturbance which
occurred in New Zealand Earthquakes
were felt in the Farawera md sulphur
Springs districts, and severe shocks con.
tinued in the Rotobi district.
A relief party that was sent out re-
ported that Farawera has fallen consider
ably. The oil bath Mt Whnnarewareda
was throwing up stones aud mud to a
hight of 20 feet and the great boiling
lagoon of Papatangi would suddenly rise
NJ much as two feet then as quickly fall.
A similar phenomenal was observed nj
the Knrran cal'Iron which would rise 2
feet in half nm hour, then suddenly
return TO its former Lowell.
MIR. Dinsey, the telegraph officer in
charge Of the Rotinda station near where
the eruptions were heaviest, reported on
June 18th that volcano No. was dead
and that Nos. . and 3 was steaming. No.
was still throwing up mud.
Lame Rotomahan was comparatively
quiet, with only one geyser in the centre
playing. The Park Terrace geysers were
stlll blowing up clouds of steam, Int
were less active than they had heen.
The immense crevasse crented between
Larawera and White Terrace continued
to steam, and the cone or top Of the
mountain was throwing volumes of black
smoke.

lNCW Cdi pets SO oOuii. OuD-
stantially all the styles Of next
fall and winter are here and
ready.
1t is a new notion in Phila-
delphia to have them so early;
but it isn't new in the quicker
cities. The carpets are made.
People are in and out of town.
They are thinking of carpets.
Why shouldn't they see them
and be turning the subject
over in their minds.
So, when we say the car
pets are ready, we mean they
are here to be looked at. Be
free to look and go away.
There's a great deal of look
ing to be done. Take your
convenient time.
But now is the time to throw
out this hint. By and by you
will want your carpets at just
such a time; and we shall be
busy then very likely. AS
soon as you know exactly
what you want then is the tinc
to buy and give us plenty of
time to make and lay. There's
a great deal in our having
plenty of time. We can do
much work in a little time,
and we mean to do it well;
but we can do it better slowly.
Give us the time if you can.
We want to say a word to
those who do not know very
closely what we are doing in
carpets.
You think 81. Us rhlying,
and selling ten thousand dit
ferent things; and when it
comes to any specially, no
matter what, there are some
who say: Lets go to some
body who knows nothing
about anything else but car
pets" or whatever else they
are going to be unusually
careful about.
Let's have a word on that.
In the first place it doesn't
follow that a man who knows
nothing about anything else
but carpets is wise about car
pets; and, if he is wise, he
may not have the carpets; and,
if he has them, he may not be
able to sell so advantageously
The profitable time in the car
pet business is rather short. If
we had nothing to sell but
carpets we should think we
had plenty of time for explor-
ing the polar regions or CEN
trail Africa. But rent goes
on; and wages; all sorts Of
expenses. The man who sells
nothing but carpets has got to
have big floors and plenty of
people to help-with a very
short year in which to make
his money to keep things
going.
Who can sell carpets to bet
ter advantage, he who has no
other business, or he who has
a steady stream of business
all the year round 7
So much for the can part.
Now for the 7t7X.
DO you think of a store in
town that has dealt more gen
erously than we have for the
last ten years and a half? You
have answered already. Your
answer is only our growth
put into words.
We can then. We have the
g@X Have we the carpets ?
That is all there is left to talk
out, unless we should touch
some tender spots in carpet
practice-this is hardly the
time of year for that.
What have we to see then /?
We have our pick of the
whole ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and a week from now we shall
have ready our pick of the
English market.
We had to struggle under
some disadvantages so long
as our trade was second in
volume here. We are done
with that. There is nothing
IN our way at present. If we
haven't the best and prettiest
carpets, the fault is our own.
We have had our choice.
hen, to prevent our carpets
becoming common, we ar
range whenever it is worth
while to have our styles kept
out OF other stores.

The barque Fluorine, the first vessel of
the Greenland cryolite trading fleet, ar
rived at Philadelphia ON Saturday from
lvigtut by way Of Kajartalik, two ports
on the western coast Of Greenland. She
had been expected for some time past by
her owners and conaignees, but no tidinps
were heard from her until she was seen
near Cape Sable about two weeks ago by
an English steamship bound to New York.
The Flourine sailed from Ivigtut on Nav
18th in tow Of the steamer Fox, which
left her at Kajartalik, six miles from
Iyigtut, where she remained ice-boupd
until July 9th. She then again set sail
for Philadelphia. The entire western
coast of Greenland, from Julianshaab to
Cape Farewell, is reported by the captain
to have been an almost impossible barrier
of ice, through which the Greenland
traders found it impossible to pass, n
thing heretofore unknown. Tho ice iloe
comes from the East Greenland coast
and, turning sharp around Cape Farewell
continues on in a northerly course nntii
it reaches the Arctic current, by which il
is carried westward toward Labrador and

The House committee on the Pacific

ling the Northern Pacific railway to
pay the cost Of surveying the lines

these lands subject to taxation, and is
designed principally for the purpose of
compelling the railroad company to
offer their lands for sale at reasonable
figure. thereby insuriDg the more rapid
settlement Of the lands within the limit
Of their grant. 1t is believed that If

The Blair educational bill which has
passed the Senate, is being severely
handled 10y the press IF the country.
Not only the object Of the bill, but the
manner Of applying the fund. is alike
deemed faulty. The rionecr-Press, in
a lengthy editorial on the question.
says: ITO begin with, the fundamental
principle is wrong. The interests Of
education have thriven under the care
Of TIE several states. No legaces or
requests could have built up among Il
people lis,less and careless the school
system which is orr pride. Its success
is not from without, bit from within.
1t is hazsrding little to say that the
general government might have con-
tributcd twice rs much in aid Of edu-
cation as has been given by the people
of the states, without accomplishing
half as much. The people must he
made to feel that the schools are the
work Of their own hands, before they
realize fully their value and their neces-
sity to the progress of free state.
With national interference. the whole
becomes vast charity system instead
Of work appealing to each mans
interest and pride. In the next place,
were we to grant that national aid is in
any way desirable, the method Of
applying it proposed by this bill is
pernicious in the extreme. Apportion-
ment according To illi,eracy is the
worst principle Of distribution that
could have been devised. II has been
