"I .second the motion," Raid the thia . young Euan, who Lad been known to 1 hist darkly at "studying for the law." "Are nil agreed?" asked Mr. IIoLbs, a IkLI young grocer from the city, who i taking Lis two-weeks holiday. "I am! I ani!" cried a chorus of voices, and the company rose simul- ; taneously and made for the door. "Are the grounds in readiness?" inquired Miss Johnson, a scrawny milliner, who has retired from the business, and is Kuiiposed to be Irving on the ini terest of her money. , "Quite ready," responded Mrs.Reade. ; "We have only to set the arches." ; Whereupon all adjourned to the j grounds, Mr. Ponsonby assisting the 1 widow in bringing out the box contain- ' ing the new croquet set. The bold grocer and the thin young 1 man made themselves wonderfully active ia marking and measuring off the ; ground, and at last, when everything was I in readiness, mallets and partners were : being chosen, when it was discovered that there were only seven present. Despair began to settle like a dark cloud over each visage, but Mrs. Reade came bravely to the rescue by insisting that they should play six-handed, and that tle would look on; that she would eui joy it just as much, etc., etc. But, of course, no one would hear to this, and finally all are rendered jubilant by a i happy suggestion from Miss Wan-en, the district school-teacher, to the effect that " perhaps the doctor could be induced ; to join them." " Where is he ? In his l-ooia ?" and I the thin young man was off like a flash,

tinned: "Let us this time put forth Pef u7 one wno now soared m the sky. our latent energies, and I am convinced "es Jon want it." that we can carry the game by an over- " 1 don'fc think 1 ever passed a pleaswhelming majority;" and he stroked his j ant"r afternoon," remarked Miss Pring downy mustache Complacently, as ler, when they were all gathered round

fondly thought how well that speech would sound in a court-room. The second game commenced, the thin young man making the most painful exertions, after a while being rewarded by finding himself far ahead. "Now, Miss Pring," ho whispered in thrilling accents, as, at a critical stage in the game, that young lady tetered up to where he stood, "if you could just hit that ball " drawing a long breath and leaving the sentence unfinished, as if the glorious results of such a stroke it were impossible to describe. Miss Pring tossed a false curl from her patrician brow, and, stepping back, took aim, long and deadly. A breathless silence ensues. Bang! A blow that would have stunned an ordinary ox, and the ball flies over the ground, missing its object about eighteen inches.

waa bold enough to whisper to Miss J Johnson, who giggled and assented, j But Mr. Ponsonby was too busy to an- i swer the thin one's remark ; and this is what he was whispering to the widow : "Do you know I never can play unless I have some particular aim ? lam going to play this time for a high stake." "What shall it be?" asked the unconscious widow. "You," he returned, in an explosive whisper; "if I win this game, I shall win you, hand and heart." The widow searched her mind for something to say that would do justice to the occasion, but, finding nothing, could only look down and simper. "First color lead out," sang out the impatient grocer, and Mr. Ponsonby, who held the black mallet, was obliged to go forward. The game proceeded smoothly enough till near the close, when the thin young man accused Mr. Ponsonby of cheating, a charge which was indignantly refuted. But the thin one persisted, and the dispute was referred to the chiefs, who settled it though unjustly in favor of Mr. Ponsoiiby. "I won't play, if I've got to be cheated like this," whined the young man, forgetting the dignity of the law in his indignation, and in the act of throwing down his mallet. A few gentle words from Miss Pring, however, induced him to finish out the game, not with his former enthusiasm, but knocking the balls about iu a promiscuous way, that showed his resentment as plainly as words. Mr. Ponsonby and the widow win, to the former's vflirmrawmt 1!iVri ft o And then Mrs. Reade discovered that ifc was time for her to see about supper, ancl b.T common consent, the players dispersed, the doctor and Miss Warren strolling away together, while the thin young man retired from the scene looking pig-headed in the extreme. Miss Pring, Miss Johnson and the city grocer entertained themselves in the parlor, while Mr. Ponsonby wended his way to the dining-room, where the widow was setting the table. " I won the game," he said, taking her hand and looking as sheepish and bashful as any school-boy. " Am I to have my reward?" " Yes," she answered, blushing quite as rosily as, fifteen years ago, she had blnshed at the mG question, put to 1 . tea-tabie. then," said the doctor, in a business-like tone, and glancing at the fair face of Miss Warren. " So do I," indorsed the bold grocer, adding, in an aggrieved tone, " but I don't want to play if I've got to be cheated ;" at which there is a general laugh, and everybody looks at the thin yor.ng man who don't see the joke, but preserves an expression of countenance that is wooden in the extreme. " I think croquet is the pleasantest game in the world," said Mr. Ponsonby. So hell City, Mo. A. ZAlVTEirS FIRST ADDRESS.

INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1878.

VESUVIUS. Eruptions in the fast. This remarkable volcano, which is now in a tte of eruntion. RUnd tb I east shore of the Bay of Naples, and about ten miles from the city. It stands j alone, on the t,hun of Campania, rmon I x , Aa base of about thirty miles in circumference. In its upper portion it divides into two peaks, one of which, called the Somnia, attains the height of 3,747 feet above the sea ; and the other, known as Vesuvius, reaches an elevation of 3,949 feet, but varies both in height and shape in consequence of the eruptions of the volcano. . Vesuvius is often mentioned, by ancient Roman writers, without allusion to its volcanic character. The first recorded eruption occurred in August, A. D. 79, and it was during this that the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried beneath the ashes. The materials ejected from the mountain were scoria and ashes alone, the quantities of which exceeded its own bulk ; and, in the occasional eruptions which succeeded, these were the only volcanic products until the year lOGo, when the first flow of lava occurred. The total number of its great eruptions, down to the present time, has been about sixty, and some of them have been remarkable for the vast movements taking place in a short time. Between the years 130G and 1651 no eruption occurred, except a slight one in 1500. But throughout this period Etna was in a state of unusual activity, and this, perhaps, gave vent to elastic vapors and lava that would otherwise have found a passage through the craters of Vesuvius. The eruption in 1G31 was accompanied with great currents of lava, wdiich flowed over most of the villages at the base of the mountain, and at the same time torrents of boiling water were sent forth. The eruption of 1779 is described as among the grandest and most terrible of these phenomena. White sulphurous smoke, like heaps of cotton, "rose up four times as high as the volcano, and spread about to a proportional extent. In June, 1794, occurred a terrible eruption, w hich destroyed the town of Torre del Greco. A single stream of lava was estimated by Breislah as containing more than 46,000,000 cubic feet. The eruption of 1822 broke up the whole top of the mountain and formed an elliptical chasm about three miles in circumference and supposed to be 2,000 feet deep. In May, 1855, the floods of lava destroyed the village of Cercolo. An eruption of great violence occurred in December, 1861. The disturbance commenced on Sunday morning, the 8th, in tremblings of the ground. In the afternoon a large opening was made in the ground a little above Torre del Greco, about half way up the mountain, which was soon followed by others, from all of which proceeded terrific explosions and jets of flame. Streams of lava poured forth, and on the morning of the 9th were flowing in a current half a mile broad. The explosions, like the sound of heavy artillery, continued till toward evening, and at night were succeeded by the most brilliant display of electric lights, forked lightning and columns of fire and smoke continually rising from the crater. The convulsions continued for several days, and even up to Jan. 1, 1862, the trembling of the earth had not ceased. The effect of this eruption was to materially alter the shape of Vesuvius, deepening the old crater and forming several new ones. The nature of the present eruption remains to be determined, but it is thought it will be one of considerable violence. The base of the new cone is now covered with lava, which is flowing down the sides of the mountain in a stream of considerable size iaeli alarm is felt in the villages at the foot of the mountain, the inhabitants of wliicii are prepared lor flight at tlte nrst j j pppearanoe of d.uiger.

Mr. Goodrich proceeded to give a list of thirtyone spurious Peter Parley volumes published in America and forty-one published in England. He died in 1860; but the Peter Parley gold mine has been worked ever since on both sides of the Atlantic. JtEMAltKAJiLE ECHOES. In the sepulcher of Metella, the wife of Sulla, in the Roman Campagna, there is an echo which repeats five times, in five different keys, and will also give back, with distinctness a hexameter line which requires two and a half s econds to utter. On the banks of the Naha, between Bingen and Coblentz, an eeho repeats seventeen times. The speaker may scarcely be heard, and yet the responses are loud and distinct, sometimes appearing to approach, at other times to come from a great distance. Echoes equally beautiful and romantic are to be heard in our own islands. In the cemetery of the Abercorn family, at Paisley, when the door of the chapel is shut, the reverberations are equal to the sound of thunder. If a single note of music is breathed the tone ascends gradually with a multitude of echoes till it dies in soft and bewitching murmurs. In this chapel is interred Margery, the daughter of Bruce, and the wife of William Wallace. The echo at the Eagle's Nest, on the banks of Ivillarney, is renowned for its effective repetition of a bugle call, which seems to be repeated by a hundred instruments, until it gradually dies away in the air. At the report of a cannon the loudest thunders reverberate from the rock, and die in seemingly endless peals along the distant mountains. At the Castle of Simonetta, a nobleman's seat about two miles from Milan, a surprising echo is produced between the two wings of the building. The report of a pistol is repeated by this echo sixty times; and Addison, who visited the place on a somewhat foggy day, when the air was unfavorable to the experiment, counted fifty-six repetitions. At first they were very quick, but the intervals were greater in proportion as the souud decayed. It is asserted that the sound of one musical instrument in this place resembles a" great number of instruments playing in concert. This echo is occasioned by the existence of two parallel walls of considerable length, between which the wave of sound is reverberated from one to the other until it is entirely spent.

THE SPECIAL CASUS. rfy C2&a,0O() a Tear to th People Jltia A1tsUU Itaye to Uie Ftrft!ir''.. From the Baltimore Cszi. i'.e. The following full list of the patronage given to these who helped to manipulate the theft of Louisiana and Florida has been prepared with great care. It includes not only the visiting statesmen and the attorneys before the Electoral Commission, but the Returning Boards and the army of understrappers who did the dirty work in the parishes in the capacity of Supervisors, to say nothing of the mob of retainers around the New Orleans Custom House. It will be seen that the country is paying the actors in that piece of business, great and small, an aggregate of nearly $200,000 a year ; and many of the appointments, indeed all of the important ones, were directed by Hayes. The only corrections in the list are in the names of Denis,, the little giant of Florida, who is not now in Government employ, and Maxwell, of the same State, who was recently cashiered and court-martialed from the army in disgrace.

New York Sun. The figures which Hayes paraded before the farmers of Minnesota have already been roughly handled. The returns, contemporary and recently published by the Treasury Department, show that his statement of the currency in circulation in 18GG was over $200,000,000 out of the way. A small blunder, but of different sort, appears when he puts forward the sums raised by customs and internal revenue as the measure of Federal taxation, when Federal taxation really includes additional taxes to the amount of from f 10,000,000 to $12,000,000. Aside from positive misstatements, Hayes' speech put forward the taxation in 1873, the year of the panic, and the expenses then, and, comparing them with the taxation and expenses now, reduced in the first ease by $61,000,000, and in the other by $53,000,000, the tacit conclusion is drawn that the party in whose hands the administration of the Government still rests, in spite of its failure to elect its candidate at the last Presidential election, has been for five years reducing the expenditures as the receipts from taxation shrank. This is not true. The Bepublican party has not done this Had the policy of the Bepublican party continued without a break, the Federal Government would to-day be bankrupt, no surplus would exist to meet its demand notes when due next January, and payments upon the sinking fund would have long since been suspended.

J larger than those not.:', ts proved t bo when that fiscal year w as over, lleduo tion was begun. The House cut c.1 $28,000,000 from the expenses of the Government. It refused to accede to demands for extraordinary expenses. A deficit was avoided. The accumulation of coin became possible. Through both sessions the Forty-fourth Congress persisted in this policy. When the Fortyfifth Congress met it was to be told by a Bepublican Secretary of the Treasury that a reduction of $5,000,000 below the point fixed . by the Forty-fourth, at its first session, could be made " without crippling any branch of the public service." The economy of a Democratic House, continued through two years, has kept the expenditures of the Government within its lessened rnd lessening income. A Republican ex-candidate for the Presidency parades the fact to-day. mmmmmmmmmmmmm UXI)i:il TlllZ AX. A Itetnlnisernc of an Imperial Execution. The jailer of the Moabit prison in Berlin entered, on the 21th of September, 1850, a dark cell, in which a tall man, with long black hair, and a pair of restless dark eyes in a face by no means unprepossessing, was chained to the wall. " Sefeloge !" said the jailer, in a tremulous voice, " Will you be a man ?" The prisoner looked at him with an expression of terror. He muttered a few incoherent words. " To-morrow, at daybreak," proceeded the jailer, "all will be over." The prisoner sprung to his feet. The clanking of his chains caused the jailer to shudder. " You mean that I shall not be among the living to-morrow morning at daybreak?" he gasped, stepping close up to the jailer. .The latter nodded his head. " You will now be prepared for the scaffold, Sefeloge," he said to the prisoner. Sefeloge uttered a cry of terror and staggered back to his humble couch. " I am not prepared to die," he moaned, bursting into tears. " Is there no hope ?" " None. He will be here directly." "Who?" " The headsman. He will cut off your hair." A convulsive tremor passed through the prisoner's frame. He began to utter heart-rending cries. At this moment the door of the cell opened. A middleaged man of very resolute mien stepped in. " You can leave us alone," said the new-comer to the jailer, who quietly withdrew. And now commenced a truly-revolting scene. The prisoner shrank from the stranger in mute terror and despair. " You better be as docile as possible. I am the headsrnan," said the stranger. " Sit down by my side." " No ! No !" shrieked the ill-fated prisoner, " I am not ready to die yet." " You shall not die yet," rejoined the headsman. "You will be decapitated tomorrow." "No! No!" The headsman dragged him by his chain toward him.. The prisoner endeavored frantically to resist him, but the headsman's great strength enabled him to overcome the resistance of the struggling wretch. While the latter was wildly clanking his chains, the headsman cut off the collar of hi? coat with a small, but very sharp, knife. The shirt-collar was removed, and with a pair of sharp scissors the hair of the prisoner was removed, the whole ejx'ration consuming only a few minutes. In the meantime, the prisoner, whom the touch cf the col 1 feU tl tvu .! t f ha 1-d-r r 7 Jn fsr.-l p-'An, uttered If A y gro.,ns ar.d i :. : p n t j. : I " Oh, 1 1 ' t jliyball t h-id vet I".: - 1 tl." 1. :L cf th.;.t cruel IIIi h ;.;4ln. -, iuu "Ar-cthir'-vh r to g j yo'i !
