never acknowledged his presence save
by an occasional humph OF criticism

Ono day Irving sat down by the

A REGULAR BELcnER.
History OF the N ost Remarkable
Volcano on Earth,

Yzalco. in the little republic Of San
Salvador. is in many respects the most
remarkable volcano OH earth; first, be-
cause its discharges have continued SO
long and with such great regularity;
again. because the tunult in the
carth's bowels is always to be heard.
as the rumblings and explosions are
constant, being audible for 100 miles;
and finally, it is the only volcano that
has originated on this continent since
the discovery by Columbus. 1t urosc
suddenly from the plain. in the spring
Of 1770, in the midst of what had been
for nearly 100 years the profitable cs.
tate Of Senior Don Balthazar Erazo,
who was absent ut the time. und was
greatly amazed upon his return to dis
cover that his magnificent coffee and
indigo plantation had. without his
knowledge or consent, been exchanged
for q first-class volcano.
In Dcccmbcr, 1863. the poems on the
hacienda, were alarmed by terrific rum.
blings under the ground. constant
tremblings of the earth, and frequent
earthquakes. They left the place in
terror.
Some bravo vaqucros. Or he rdsmcn.
remained near by to witch develop.
ments. aud on February ~, 177O. they
were entertained by Al spectacle that
no other men have been permitted TO
witness: for about 10 O'Clock on the
morning of that day tho grand up
hcaval took place. and it seemed to
them, US they lied in terror, that the
whole universe was being turned up
side down. First, there was u series
Of terrible explosions, which lifted the
crust of the earth several hundred
feet, and out OF the cracks ISSUED
flames and lava. and immense volumes
Of smoke. An hour Or two aftcrward
there was another and Il grander con-
vulsion, which shook and startled the
country for 100 miles around.
Rocks weighing thousands of tons
were hurled into the air and fell
several leagues distant. The surface
Of the earth was elevated about 5000
feet. ana tho internal rccesscs were
purged by masses of lava and blistcred
stone, which fell in u heap around the
hole from which they issued. These
discharges continued for several dnys
ut irregular intervals, accompanied
by loud explosions and earthquakes,
Which did much damage throughout
the entire republic; the disturbance
was perccptiblc in Nicaragua and Hon
tlurus.
In this manner was II volcano born,
and 1t has proved to be II hcalthful and
vigorous child. In less than two
months from Il level field rose q moun-
tain more than 1000 fccS high. and
tho constant discharges from the crater
which opened then have accumulated
round its edges until its elevation has
increased 1000 feet more. unfortu-
natcly the growth OF the monster has
not been scientifically observed or ac-
curatcly mcasurcd; but the cone of
lava and ashes, which is now $500
feet from the foundation Of the earth
upon which it rests, is constantly grow
ing by tho inccssant discharges OF vol
canic matter.-Ex.
