Talk about your enterprising Yam

Some one gave this girl cents on heI
birthday. She bought yard of calico
with it, out Of which she made a sun

Germany.

Germany is Increasing its navy as
well as its army; accordingly, at re-
cent meeting Of the Reichstag there
was further demand for money.
The new estimates provide for thirty
two millions of marks for the purpose
of building war vessels, and at the
same time half the people in Berlin
live in one room only, while 100, ,OOC
people are said to live in garrets or eel
lars. The thirty-two millions which
are to be wasted on ships and cannon
would go far toward housing the pool
people of Berlin. inst as the money
voted by our own Parliament last scs-
sion for the same purpose, would cna-
bic the Government to replace every
slum in London with blocks of hand
some model dwellings. When George
Peabody made his s35o,0oo gifts tc
London, his seemed prodigious sum,
but very ironclad cost us twice as
much as Peabody's gift.-Lotc London

4 National Shame.

\ certain thing shanlcS the nation.
1t is the direct connection of our Vice
president with the liquor traffic. II is
The longest step backward any of or
leading men has taken for many years,
and is outSpoEen contempt for the re-
liTiouS anI tcmpcr:lncH sentiment oI
the whole country-ald the temper
ance and religious people compose by
far the great majority OF mcn and wo-
men in the Union. Petition, cNhorta-
ton, Gpuunciation all combined have
made no impression on Mr.. Morton ;
mind. Ills Sh0reham house yields
him immense profits, and part Of these
profits are derived from The liquor &C.
partment. We use the commercial
term "department," )" because the Shore
ham has no bar, but simply Il place de-
voted to liquor-drinking. The drink
ing man, especially gentleman of
leisure, doubtless prefers the easy
chairs of Mr.. Morton's apartment
house to standing in I saloon surround
cd by Il promiscuou5 crowd. For all
practical purposes the department ta-
ble is as good as bar. The liquors
and all necessary bariiXtures are there.
The customer pays his money, takes
his choice, and has his own time. And
all this furnished under Il regular re-
tail liquor license, the petition for
which is properly signed by Livi P.
Morton, Vice-president of the United
States. This is national shame and
now comes the news that at the New
Year reception given at the Morton
residence wine was abundant and flow
cd freely, and several young men went
home drunk. These young men be-
longed to the best (?) Washington So
ciety, and got drunk on Ficc-president
Morton's wine. They went home
drunk from social entertainment Civ
en- by the Vice e-president of the United
States! This is the second chapter OF
the national shame.

TERRORS OF A VOLCANO.
A Graphic Description of Great v

A Graphic Description of Great Vol
canic Eruption.
Some idea of the terror of volcanoes NAV
be gathered from an account of an eruption
in one of the Hawaiian Islands, when the
crater was filed from 500 to GOO feet deep
with molten lava, the immense weight of
which broke through subterranean pass
age of twenty-seyen miles and reached the
sea forty miles distant in two days, flowing
for three weeks and heating the water
twenty miles distant.
Rocks melted like wax in its path; forests
cracked and blazed before its fervent heat !;
the works of man were to it but as a scroll
in the flames.
Imagine Niagara's stream, above the
brink of the fails, with its dashing, whirl-
ing, madly raging waters, hurrying ON to
their plunge. lnStantaneOusly converted into
fire-a gory-hued river of fused minerals :;
volumes OF Kissing steam arising; smoke
curling upward from 10000 vents, which
gave utterance to the manv deep-toned NUT
terings and sullen, confined cIamorings;
gases decorating and shrieking as thew
burst from their hot prison house; the
heavens lurid with flames; the atmosphere
dark and oppressive; the horizon murky
with vapors and cleaning with the reflected
contest.
Such was the scene as the fiery cataract,
leaping precipice Of fifty feet, poured its
amass of compact, indurated lava. whitened,
cracked and fell. The waters Tecoiled ana
sent forth tempest Of spray; they foamed
and dashed around and over the melted
rock; they boiled with the heat, and the
roar OF the conflicting agencies grew fiercer
and louder. The reports of the exploding
gases were distinctly heard twenty-five
miles distant, and were llkeped to whole
broadside of heavy artillery. Streaks of the
intensest light glanced like lightning in all
directions; the outskirts of the burning
lava as it fell, cooled by the shock, were
shivered into millions Of fragments and
scattered by the strong wind in sparkling
showers lar into the country. Six weeks
later at the base of the hills the water con-
tinued scalding hot and sent forth clouds of
steam ut every wash OF the waves.-London
