seIf Proud.
The Second Artillery Regiment, n. G. c.,
did itself proud last evening ON the occa-
sion Of its reception and ball at the Me-
chanics' Pavilion, and the military exercises
were such as TO leave no doubt of the great
advance which the command has made
under the regime Of its new field officers.
The attendance was great, over four thou
sand people having been present. The mill
tary exercises comprised an inspection and
review by Colonel Macdonald with the
battalion under command of Lieutenant
Colonel Roster, followed by guard mount
in double line and dress parade with Ma
jor Geary in command. After the latter
medals were distributed to Captain Waters
for twenty-five years continuous service in
the regiment to Lieutenant Beatty for
fifteen and to Captain White, Lieutenants
Leo and Batchelder and eight enlisted men
for ten years service.
The entertainment was, from military
standpoint, the most satisfactory ever given
by the regiment, and was interesting more
over because of the many innovations in
troduced. Brigadler-General Cutting and
staff, Colonel Barry of the Third and staff
Colonel Fairbanks of the Fifth and mem
bers of his regiment, besides officers of the
First Infantry, were among the invited
guests.

Bogoslov, that arose SO strangely from the
ocean some seven years ago, is once moro

BOgoslov is nearly due west from the island
of Oonalaska.
Captain Everett Smith of the steam
whaler Orca passed near the scene soon
after the first eruption. He noted that four
new islets, each detached but near the
volcano island, had arisen from the depths,
and the mountain itself had also risen con-
siderably. During the eruption the sky for
weeks was cl0uded with ashes, and these
fell in liberal showers in the town of Iliu-
LUX, forty-four miles away to the eastward.
To the people there who saw the eruption
it seemed that the pillar of fire and smoke
was fully fifteen miles high, rising from the
horizon and losing itself in the low clouds
