The Forums Red uctlonEOf Price.

The Forum, which its readers re-
gard as the foremost OF our periodicals,
reduces its price, beginning with the
December number, from 80. to W.
year, from so cts. to % cts. u copy.
This is the most noteworthy reduction
in periodical literature that has taken
place-perhaps that can take place.
Magazines OF fiction and adventure,
the illustrated monthlies, were within
everybody's reach even before the re-
cent reduction in the price OF some OF
them. But no periodical of the class OF
The Forum has ever been. sold Tor
25 cts. 1t becomes the cheapest by
half OF all great Reviews in the world,
and it remains the largest of all our
periodicals of its kind, and its charac-
er is in no way changed.
This reduction OF price puts The
Forum easily within the reach OF every
reader who cares for it -of every man
and woman who desires to keep abreast
Of the times. The extent to which this
reduction will add to popular educa'
ton on great subjects is incalculable
The ablest articles by the foremost

for a fight within the state boundaries.

will not be allowed to languish IN the
Jail, but he will be promptly gotten
out by writ of habeas corpus and
carried before Judge Call, who Will

The Volcano.

Our Kohala and Hilo cores
pondents both refer in their letters
to the severe earthquake shocks
which occurred on Hawaii Dec.
22d, to which attention was called
in this paper on Wednesday last.
The Hilo letter speaks Of the erup-
ton in the summit crater of Mauna
Loa, and says it's light is clearly
visible from Hilo. No one will
probably be found daring enough
to ascend to the summit at this
season of the year, simply to ver-
ify it and ascertain the extent of
the outbreak.
Professor Charlier of New York,
who has been spending few
weeks at the Volcano House, sends
the following lines, under date of
Dec. 26, giving some items of in
interest:
Madame Pele is in happy
mood, sending up her fiery jets, il
Illuminating the whole sky. The
pit is slowly filling and within a
year will probably be full. Small
lava flows are of daily occurrence.
The new Volcano House is quite
comfortable. Mr.. Peter Lee, the
manager, is rustler; a trail un-
dertaken by him is almost finished
across the lava field, and elderly
people and ladies will soon be able
to ride within five minutes walk
of the molten lake. A shed erected
for tea house will offer protection
in case Of rain. We have been
here two weeks and expect to stay
another.
