BepubucalS organa?are endeavoring to break the crashing force of Bepnblican testimony relating' to the money expended in Indiana to carry the State for Porter and Garfield. ' One otg&n ks in substance, that Democrats charge the money was expended to prirchase Democrats, snd-that Democrats will resent the in suit by Toting tha Bepnblican t oket. We do not blame Bepnblican organs and bosses for squirming. It is- altogether natural; nor are we' surprised bteause they leeort to falsehood to help themselves out of a bad scrape. Democrats have Lad an abundance of Bepnblican ttimony showing the way Dorsey and

h's pas expended the money raised by Stfc.sftte of Stanley Matthews to Jay Goal. Ay for instance, Hon W. P. Fishbucli him declared that here in Indiana e ectton officials were "bribed io stuff ballot boxes and falsify election retitrnsf air. S. P. Conner testifies that Dors y wanted him. to take money' and import voters from Illinois. This is Republican testimony in regard to the way themoney went to carry Indiana for Porter and Garfield.

- the machine Bepnblican and rhe pohticnl demagogue.' "This latter idea" says our bilions sanguine contemporary, "would panprizrt the laborer as he is to-day in - free trade England and Ireland." In En- $ gland the laboring man worksless hours, gets better pay on an average - per y ear, and produces less than the American la- - boier. In Ireland the case is different. There the people are oppressed and crushed by taxation direct in one form or ' another, under the control of a Strang gceinmentbe same kied the JRepubliean party hcs'fcaen clamoring for in this country. Below we give our readers a few statements of facta, which ought to make protection monopolists blush with & shame when tbey set- tnemcelvee up as t-ae laboring man's friend. The Cincinnati News-Journal says: The New York Tribi;ne has the following free traie .8 argument -without knowing it: None of us work for wages, hut for the things

- pat np the cost of everything we want, what have : we gained? It is, therefore, ia most iiisfcancs. a 1 question of some difficulty whether it would be better for the worker themselves to have higher Wages Or lower wages. At times wages are so high that the cost of - production here excludes our products from foreign markets; then, as a rule, depression in business is near and nature

sete things right by crowding wages down. ; The proposition is still stronger if put right end first, in this way : If by protected duties we crowd up the - cost of everything we want, is the workman any better off, even if he - can saceeed in crowding his wagesup in the jsj me degree? Bui suppose that after having the ocst of all that he consumes crowded up by the tariff, he is not able to crowd up his wages? At the best as the Tribune shows if he succeeds in crowding his wages up in the same degree as the cost

.-;?. of his Hying has been crowded up by the high protfcCtiye tariff, then the result is the cost of production is so raised that out prodnets are excluded from foreign

markets,-and the power of our machinery gluts our markets with snch things as we manufacture, and then- wages are depressed. The Tribune has put a whole free trade sermon into a few lines, and has delivered more sense in these than m its ybiumes'of protection harangues and

in all of Robert Porter's letters: yet the

Tribune is so ignorant of the - question that it de3 not know what it has done."

- THE $50000 STOBT. ' From thft Sunday Herald, Columbn, Ch, Kep. Governor Foster told a Washingtoninterviewer that; Judge Hoadly had -ao knowledged that his nomination cost him $50,000. Jndge Hoadly thereupon wrote to Foster denying that he had ever m a3e such acknowledgment; or that there was any truth in te story t Governor Foster replied that information to that effect had been given him in confidence by another person. Judge Hoadly dernan-'ed the inforirej name, and branded-the informa tion as fake whole and in part," Gevernor Foster then furnishes a letter from

-1 '' "Javbawker." in-which the latter stmria.

not hat his nomination cost 350,000; but that he (Jay hawker) told Hoadly so! and - Hoadly, matted of confirming itsaid that that would be too much for any nomina tion or any office, This is absolutely all the proof there is again -t Jmlge Hoadly; in regard to the matter; and yet on this foundatioQ we have so respectable a paper as the Ohio State Journal, eeerting one day that Hoadly jrs never denied the stoiyvand calling upon him the next day to disprove it The truth is that the silly eiander has no backing whatever. ' It does iot even have that of "Jay hawker," insufficient as that would assuredly bes In the shape in which it came from Governor Foster, Jndge Hoadly did deny i it, and in the most emphatic manner. When Foster fell back on yWJey hawker," and the latter failed to confirm the f tory, there was nothing- whatever left" for Hoadly-to deny. What, then, do certain men who call

themselves Republicans mean by persevering in this puerile and baseless falsehood? Do they not know that Bepubli- - cans generally are men who love truth and fair dealing in politics? Do' they suppose Eepublicans are eo ignorant tliat they know not how to teU tact, from ficr tion? Do they think hat men have become so. lost to decency andv honor that they prefer a falsehood to the truth? If they think thus, we tell them they are mistaken. Already we believe this wretch . ed piece of bnsiness has done mischief to our cause; and if persevered in. in the

face of fact, of decency and jopmmon set se, it wiH do still more. TtoOTpadly'e nomination cost jhim something is probable; Irit did not, it ' would be different in v this respect from any gnbernaiorial nomination recently obtained; Democratic or Bepnblican. That either Hoadly or Foraker or Foster ;or Bookwalter expended money for the direct purchase of delegates, there is no reason to believe; whiie for this $60,000 story there is not?' the slightest- foundation whatever. It is entitled to a prize as one ot; the most senseless falsehoods of

tibis or any previous campaign ; and how any sensible man-can imagine that the

Republican cause will benefitted by its

circulation and repetition is a mystery

ptiet finding out. Let us Jiave done with

A stick of wood burned on the surface

mostly pasEes off in gas, leaving only the

ashes; but the same stick, if burnt in coal-pit excluded from the air, forms mass of carbon of nearly or quite

original sise. Now, all decay of vegetable

matter is a slow combustion, and when

this is done under the sod not only are

the gases retained in the soil, but more

carbon is formed, and this carbon has the

power to appropriate the 'valuable gases

always present in the atmosphere. The great value of clover as a fertilizer is due

ftrst to the carbon furnished bv the de

cay of the plant, and second to the fine mechanical effect on the soil, which renders it porous, so that the atmosphere penetrates it and deposits plant-food It is -clew that better fertilizing effects will result from the ploughing down of the crop to decay in the soil. Ordinarily more can be made out of the tops than they are worth for manure, and, if rigktly managed, the roots will supply the needed fertility Dr. J; IX HtrKTBB, of Wabash, Ind ,has published in the Indiana Farmer a good article on drainage, comprising a description of the most scientifio methods of tile drainage, its influence on production and health, and on the drainage of roads. He say b alt lan 5s that contain' more water, than is needed by the; crops growing upon them need drainage, and that wet soil is always a cold soil. Grass lands "bear more water than grain lands; but if the grass soils are too wet, aquatic grasses and plants will, take the jlace of the cnlrivated. This is all true; but it has often been exemplified that dry uplands have been very much bettered by nnder-drain-age, even if the declivities be so steep

that but little wete? falling upon them

.soaks into the ground. Thorough drain

age, with the tiles deep enough and tne

drains near enough together, not only takes off surplus water, but aerates the ground, loosens, mellows and subdues it to the exact wants of the growing grains

and grasses, so that cultivation can be most thoroughly done, both earlier in the season and better than on undrained ground. Mr. Chamberlain, the present Secretary of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture,' adduces instances iri which the productive capacity Of wheat lands has beeen doubled and rnore, simply by thorough drainage--land which? before drainage yielded twenty bushefs pej- acre, after dies had been properlyplaced under it, producing oyer forty busbels;on the same superfices. In England and othei old farming countries,drainage is almost universally resorted to. The farms are so cwrefuily underdrained and cultivated that fair harvests are reckoned on almost independently of the vicissitudes of the weather and seasons. Wfth climates generaily which in our favored country would be deemed unpropitaous, tbeir crops of grains and grapes are usually far larger than ours, and that mainly because the lands on which they are raieed aTe well drained Drainage not only prevents the bad effects of wet weather, but of droughts as well "Drained ground is loose and porous, never bakes, and the roots are always free to run down to moist ground." A farmer possessing' a small amount of loose capital as a general rule can not do better than establish thorough and systematic drainage until their entire arable holdings are subjected to it. . Pbopls are becoming, gradually and surely, more appreciative of the value of fruit as an edible element, ani are wisely indulging, as the years advance, to a greater extent in its use. While this fact may be regarded as an excellent isign," in a sanitary sense, it is also proof that farmers and land holders are dis covering that good orchards aro of the most valuable features of their holdings that while they must produce grasses and grains for the substance of themselves and their live stock, still their fruit orchards, trees, vines, fco., properly attended to, will prove vastly more profitable to the acre than even their best corn

lands. A simple -umbrageous grapevine, ten years old, and in good bearing, may easily produce five dollars' wbth of grapes, and a thrifty Jenneting apple tree, in the prime of bearing, will yield ten dollars worth of apples, and forty such trees can be disposed on a single acre. Ot late years the art of preparing apples for market by "evaporating" the moisture from themaias been brought to great perfectionr Devices are produced by which a single rural household may prepare from twenty-five to fifty bushels of evaporate fruit per diem, worth in the

market from twelvemo twenty cents per

pound according: toquality. There is a great and growing demand for such fruits -for transportation abroad; and, upon the whole;it is evident to us that no farmer, as he advances Jn life and feels like avoiding hard labor, can more agreeably , and profitably increase the value of his place than to plant with fruit trees, vines, canes etc., every available spot that can be spared for the purpose. There are many places on every farm of one hundred acres where some of these productive standards may be planted, with the double effect of adding beauty and value to the property. T'losewho set out new orchards may occupy the same ground with with vegetable crops which will, while their trees are growing, produce a good retarn annually and thiB system may be continually pursued until the trees become large

enough to claim the whole ground. How

ever, some of the best apple orchards we

ever saw, by careful cultivation, were an-

nuaUyplanted, care being taken - not to injure the roots .-of the trees while attend

ing the tilled crop. : . ,

A SUMMER ROMANCE.

St Phillip's street!" A lonely little statioBr qnite in tho oods, it seemed to the enrions travelers looking out as the train slowed np. A pretty girl stepped to the platform, and a man, holding a

book still open, followed her. These were

the only passengers for St Phillip's; the

whistle shrieked, and the next moment the train was thundering away beyond

recall.

This was the thought flashing on the

man who tood yet on the platform star

ing after, thongb whether he would have

recalled it, if he could, was a question

with him even then. A bit dazed, he turn

ed and stared at the opposite mountain, at the houseless country all around, then

slowly he stepped over the track into the one grasB-grown road round which the

girl had disappeared.

He thought to clof?e his book, and, with

a smile which broadened almost to a laugh

he walked on down the lonely road, whither it would lead him? in what sort of a place was he doomed, at least, to

spend the night? For he had never be

fore stopped at St. Phillip's; he had, in

fact, never dreamed to stop there now, or

ever; till that last little moment when he

left the train so suddenly, he had not

time even to close his magazine.

He walked on still smilingly. It did

not matter any wa y. True, he was bound

for a place far distent, and his luggage

had gone ahead; but he could follow on

the morrow. What mattered one night.

even though, he must camp out in the

wilderness? And perhaps beyond he

would find some convenient spot wherA

he would prefer to pass his vacation; a trifle would bring the luggage bask, and

He strove to argue down the odd cir

cumstance of his stopping at SfcJPhiiip's,

he admitted no cause to quarrel with his

impulse, yet he inclined to all tbe same.

Suddenly he frowned a bit as a man

must suddenly realizing that he had made himself ridiculous;, still whether he

would have recalled the train was a ques

tion even with Mm yet. That moment

he looked ahead, and saw what there was of St. Phillip's he h&d now coine upon.

A small, straggling hamlet bugging

clcsely the base of the mountain which

hung down over ik A picturesque place

enough it looked infehe evening sunlight;

it would have captivated an artist's or a

poet's soul ab once; but Howard Ralph

was neither, and he only walked prosaic-

aUy up the first sfire at, seeking a place

to pass the night.

There was no sign of inn anywhere he

could sea. He stopped to inquire of a man he saw standing in a. doorway.

"Inn?" the mau answered, with a laugh There never was an inn in St. Phillip's

street as I heard cm. It you want to stop

you can stop here ; we make a business of

taking boarding. You come from the train of course." he added, leading the way in

to the parlbr. ''Ton must have walked

powerfully '..slow; the young lady's been here five minutes and more."

"The young lady?" "The young lady yes. You saw her, no

doubt; such a face as hers wouldn't be likely to escape well, I must, such a cor

responding cha p as you. She's one of onr boarders reg'lai ; been here two years now

The man glanced wiib an nonest, wiBtful,

dissatisfied lock from the newcomer to

his magazine, "Guess you don't mean to

take long board , though; you don' t seem

o have much luggage. But perhaps you

left it at tlie station ? The boy' s going right

off for the young lady's, and he can bring

yours, too."

"Yes, bat-" "Ob, I see, you just want to spend the

night? Odd, of course, you're welcome.

Perhaps, to-morrow," he bent closer, and

ended in a sly whisper "perhaps when

you come to see our young lady closer, you'll decide to stay awhile."

Howard Balph was a mannpt easily

embarrassed, but 1 e fairly writhed now

under the speaker's innocent words and

glances. He plunged into his answer

right recklessly, albeit it cost a lie.

ihe faefcis :fehe fact is, I did not at all

intend stopping at St Phillip's. My lug

gage was checked for Brampton, but the the natural beauty of the pd?tce attracted me, and the fact is, I may like to stay

h ere. What attractions have yuu? Pish

ing, boating, all that, I supp ose of course.

"Its no object deceiving you, stranger.

There isn't water enough to float a boat

in ten miles of St Phillip's. All we have is the mountain." .

"All the same, I think I'll atay." He M as not looking at his delighted

host; he had turned,ere answering, at the

sound of a light step and a rippling laugh,

in the hall without; he stood, now gazing

afc the little fig-re tripping toward the

roadway, with the words involuntarily on

his lips. He did not see it again that

night; but once yet, while at supper, he

heard the rippHng laugh; once, talking aCter with his host on the piazza; once, when the latter was leaving him at tht door, of his sleeping room. " Who is theyoung lady?" he asked, with One of his own impulses. "She's' Miss Herndon Miss Marion Herndon. She's" The man on tlie door-sill did not finish for ho within hf id hastily set the lamp on the table and sfcooi! staring at him with an exoression which caused him to retreat below with the barely-represented opinion that the young man with the magazine might, prove a very good boarder, but he was afraid he was a little "off." "Marion Herndon 1" Midway betweeu a gasp and an ejacu lation, Howard lialph sank into the chair beside the table and took out his cigarettes. It was a coincidence, truly. It was not etrange that-he should smoke up the most of them ere he could compose himself to sleep: A coincidence indeed! He began to j'ealize it in the morning. So far it had been as a dream, a jumble; he had come lUmost to believe the very words he heard

a fancy of his own. But the scrap ho came in contact with while dressing forced it down on him a truth. A letter in his pocket ending thus: Your obstinacy in regard to this girl exceeds my comprehens'on. What possible objection is there to yonr making he:c acquaintance? Because she has money would it be impossible for yon to fall in love with her, or, if you see fit not, aro you obliged to marry her? "I have no patience with you, Howard. I know if yon once saw Marion Herndon you would fall in love with her, and I wanted you to have 1 he opportunity to win a charming wife and a fortune, all at once. But your chances are over now; she goes to-morrow, for the second time, to that absurd place in the mountains to find a husband, perchance in some longnosed farmer who does not dream she has a cent" He re-read it with mixed emotions. This, then, was the end of tlie lang wai? he had wasjed with his ambitious sister, his persistent thwarting of bar schemes for the past two months. He, because his honest soul despised such specula tion, had vowed, finally, never to look into the ffice of Marion Horndon so long as

he should live. He could but smile as he

realized how. fate had tricked him and

helped Mrs. Marbury BelL

"T know if you once saw Marion Herndon you would fall in love with her." His eyes met the words again to rest

there; somehow he oonld not endure now those other daring ones. Still, if eve r there was a prophetess in the nineteenth.

century, it was this same Mrs. Marbury

Bell. He was beginning to feel a certain awe of h is elder sister: he came suddenly

to delight even in her presumption; h?-

was on the point of according her full

forgiveness, yea, thanks,f or her persistent

scheming, when "

A mer::y,rippling laugh floated up from

the porch below. As though it was th most natural of things, Howard Ealph went out and down the stairs. He a ?

face to ffcee with Marion Herndon before

he realized his own presumption. Buii

she did not mind, he saw, delightedly;

she was frolicking wit h tha dog, and she looked u p with a blush, yet with a smile.

"Good morning," she said, and then

"I saw you on the train yesterday, but I

did not dream you were coming here," she aded, frankly. "What ever attract

ed you to St Phillip's?" was the question plainly written in her face.

He coiald but be taken aback. "I was not intending to stop at St

Phillip V he stammered, "but I .'id," hs finished, simply. .

"And 1 think you did a very sen sible

thing, ' she answered, merjily; she seem

ed really to enjoy his odd conclusion.

"You will surely enjoy St. Phillip's, if

you do not mind the quiet I think there is no plaeeso charming on the earth. Bnt then I have special leasons for likely such r She paused abruptly, as though remembering she was ta.king to a stranger. : Her reasons flashed on him; she liked St. Phillip's because she wa free from a throng 0? suitors she must at best suspect; because here she might have the Batisfaotson o knowing some one loved her, even werejie the long-nosed farmer she could never marry. And then suddenly his own posi-ion dawned on him. She had heard of him, of course; Mm Marbury Bell would never scheme all on one side. She would hear his namehear it this very morning, and then What had attracted him to St Phillip s would be quickly revealed to he The realization was unendurable; he could barely control himself to renew polite convention. What; should he do? Go to hiB host and beg him to conceal h .s name? Quite too ridiculous. Go away no v, escape the terrible denouncement at any cost? He could not he would not Howa;rd Ralp'v was quite beside himself as he went into breakfast. But fortune favored him. "Mr. jiolfe, I tnink you said your name was?'' was tho remark to which he nocided acquiescence. So the bliss of the days wa,3 spared him the near happy days wherein they strolled together up the 'mountain's heights and through tlie pretty valley. For it was early season;

they were the only boarders yet arrival, and somehow it seemed the most natural of thing3 to both that she should show him all Ibe familiar nooks, the fairest bits of St Phillip's. A thrje days' rapture, every hour in whieh he grew madder in love with Maripn Hemdon, and some blissful moments it dawned to him thatsh e did not dislike the stranger Mr. Rolfe who might not dream that she was an heiress. This was the one bitter drop always in the cup, and the sole restraint on a passion which save for it could not have lived three days unexpressed. So he was pondering when came that unexpected mail from Brampton. It chanted she brought it to him. "Yon are abrother f Mrs. Marbu r yBell ?' she as?d quietly as she handed him the letters. It wa(3 all over; he read that plainly as he lcok3d up in her face. It was naught to him shat moment her frank look of disappointment, the bit of real trouble was to go away, to relieve her of hfe annoying presence, and, perhaps, a future day would come - He could not: he would not. The fiirst was eternal, he told himself, and yet what to do? The miserable days dragged slowly; he scarcely dared to speak to Masion Herndon, and she barely spoke to him. He rambled alone these days; even the dog deserted him for her. It was an exasperating situation, and yet he could do nothing but wander up the mountain's heights and through the pretty valley, wondering if she cared. Did she? No. Always the same answer, uncompromising, prompt. Th it she scarcely meant that he should see, seeing that they to be strangers evermore; Howard Ralph was to be nothing to her, whatever had been Mr. Roll'e! Pla in, eo plain, and yet he could not blame her It was his own jPault; he shoul d have been frank with her at the outsetijshe might have believed him then. But how could he have been frank without being ridiculous? t What to do? She certainly would not believe him now, however eloquent his explanation; strong as his passion, he strangely shrank from it The one thing look ot hers was but the pain born of a fresh deception, unnatural, not strange. More than ordinarily he was jealizing that this morning he strole up St, Phillip's mountain, desperate, scarce looking where he looked on, on absorbediy, till

Bis foot struck empty air; a vision of

racks, a blackness, and he lay senseless on the cliff below, in the mystery betwixt lire and death, till suddenly whah he fancied an angel's wing brashi 'd his forehead and the faint music of a v.-ice fell on hie ear, "Oaji it be that he is dead oh, no ! It cannot be, it must not be; I will not have it so! Oh, Nero, good dog, go and ijtoh them; go and bring help to ma. Do you not see that I cannot leave my darling here; the only man I ever liked.'' The yoke faltered; the speaker started with a little shamed, despairing cry, for the man beside her had opened his eyes, and was gazing at her a tut dazed, yet with a growing look of rapture which

told how well he knew. ( "Marion?" She oould not even hide her face, this poor Marion Herndon; for faint, yet stunned, as he was, he had started up and clasped her hands in his. -i " You m ust not call me Marii n," she gasped, despairingly, "and you must forget those words I- said. I cannot help that I said them, and and I am glad that you are not hurt; but I do not care if you do love me now; jrou know why you came to St Phillip's; becauee because because you gave in at last to Mrs. Marbury Bell; you- r" But she was talking between h is kisses now; he had taken her in his arms, and was folding her ah! so tenderly, but deliberately, as it was the most positive of things. And she, strange girl prmittirg it, even while she spoke. "Do you know why I cams to 3t Phillip's?" he interrupted her. She did not answer, She was too ashamed of her own happy self to say any more to him. He held her closeir, while he told her what the reader has already guessed of the Bweet face that he saw in the oar that day; the face that held his eyes that long journey through, that drew him, despite himself, out of the car after the girl that owned it, so mad his soul to ipse it. Could he help that the little girl was Marion Herndon? This and all the rest he told her, sitting there. What woman will not believe a lover in a lover's arms? She looked up at him in gentle amazement, but with tender eyes. i "Is it not a pretty summer romance, dear?" she murmured "My Marion!" Words could wait, but not kwsee, that moment thought Howard Balph.. So fate helped Mr. Marbury BelL Farm Notes. There are daily schools in Ireland.

Droege to plant $,000,000 trees in the Valley of Mexico within four years from March 15th, 1884-500,000 a year in such places as the Government shall choose. The contractor pledges himself to establish a number of nurseries and to have in them each year at 3east 80n,(K)C asb,35,000 willows, 3110,000 poplars, 60,0D0 eucalyptus treesj 60,000 trmnos-japonsf, 60,000 mountain cypress cedars, 60,000 acacias, and 120,CO0 of miscellaneous varieties. The trees roust be in plantations of from 50,000 to 100 000 each, and Mr. Droege has to maintain them for two years after planting. H" is not compelled to plant trees along the highways, however.

A FEARFUL AFFAIR.

Volcanic Eiiiptions in Java Destroy Over 75,000 Livbs.

Mountains Rent Asunder and Disappear

the See. Red Hot Lava A Pen Picture of Sad Havoc.

The eruption of the volcano on the island of Kratakatoa continues. North Bantam, Java, in covered with ashes,mud and stones. Orops are rained and roads and bridges d amaged. The European quarter of Anjier and the Chinese camp at Merak were swept away by the over-? flow of the rivers. A tidal wave . also swamped tha lower quarters of Batavia. The latest advices from Batavia, the capital of J ava, show that the volcanic eruptions in that island are much more sericus than at first indicated. The disturbances began on the island of Krakatoa, in. the strait of Sunda, about fifteen miles off the coast of Java. The deep rumblings were distinctly audible at Saukerta and Batavia, about forty-five and twenty-two miles off respectively. Little alarm wiis felt at first, but within a few hours showers of stones began to fall at JogykerSa, Sourabaya and Saniaran. All through the night showers of red-hot rocks and ashes fell, making complete darkness" in all these towns. J n Batavia there was an occasional fall, and it was difficult to keep the street-lights burning in the European quarter. By the next morning all communication with Anjira was cut off, all the bridges having been de.ifroyed by the decending rocks and aaheu, and the road rendered impassable. The first eruptions were on Saturday night On Sunday morning the disturbances had extended beneath the waters of the strait, and they were soon boiling and hisi'dng violently. This eruption soon spread to the Gunning, the crater of which is the largest in t he world, being nearly four miles in diameter. The , Gunning, Guntu r and, many other minor mountains belched forth until more than a third of the fortyfive oraters of Java were either in active eruption or seriously threatening it Just before diiisk a sreat luminous cloud formed over tho Gunney-Gunur, and the crater of that volcano began to vomit tip enormous streams of mulcted acid, sulphurous mud, jand quantities of lava. These were rapidly succeeded by explosions, followed by tremendous showers of cinders and enormous fragments, wliioh were hurled hig h into the air in all directions, to fall, after their force was epeat, upon the valleys below, carrying death and destruction With these terrible eruptions came sympathetic demonstrations from the sea. The overhanging clouds were so surcharged with electricity that at one time more than fifteen huge waterspouts were sent These have con tinued at somewhat Ion? intervals ever since. Men, women and children rushing from their tottering dwelling-places, fil1ing the air with their shrieks ot honor. Hundreds were unable to get out before the bouses fell and were buried beneath the great massea of rocks and mud which were piled up where a few hours before all had been peace,, happiness and fancied security. Much ot the northern portion of the island, which wns covered with tracts of forests, was soon in one great blaze. The red-hotvoinitinifsfrm the craters had set the trees on fire, and the giants of the woods fell one after another like so many sheaves of wheat before a gale. As the eruptions increased in frequency and violence the disturbance of the waters surrounding the barren coast became more and more violent Here they rushed with terrific force up the steep, rookv incline, breaking upon the overhanging crags and receding rapidly , leaving a lava flow cooled just at the moment when it was about to fall over a. pxeci pice, and, there remaining, quickly hardered by contact with the waters and forming distinct strata of black and bright red, purple and brown, all thrown about the coast iu eccentric masses, while huge peaks of basalt rose ayreqnent intervals. There the waves came whdming over a marshy plain along the shore, suddenly engulfing a hamlet ot fishermen rude houses, and turning suddenly back, swept away almost every vestige of what a moment before bad been. a scene of bustling activity. What a few hours" before were fertile valleys covered with nourishing plantations of coffee, rice, sugar, indigo or tobacco, the staples of th- island, were now but mud, etone and lava. Probably not a crop in Juva will be saved. At the entrance to Batavia wps a large group of houses extending along the shore and occupied by Chinamen. This portion of the city was entirely swept away, and of the 25,000 OhinbCe who lived on this swampy plain it is hardly probable that more than 5,000 saved their lives. They stuck to their homes until the waters came that washed them away, fearing the torrents of flame and lava of the interior more than the water. Of the 3,500 Europeans and Amerioans in Batavia perhaps eight hundred perished. It is impossible to make any pecuniary estimate of the loss. Many of the baaaars in the higher part of the city were demolished. The exchange and military hospitals suffered great damage. FBOM FRIDAY S DI8P ATOHES. Further particulars of the great volcanic eruption in Java which have ju6b reached London from Batavia, show that tho disaster is even move wide-sp:ead and more disasterous than reported in Thursday's advice?. At noon on Sunday th eruption and shocks were supposed to have reached their height, but late in the

afternoon and evening the violence of the disturbances suddenly increased, and the island seemed tojbe about to be compbtely. buried in fire and sulphurhus iisheo. At the same time the enormous waves began to dash with greater force upon the shores, coming in some places far up into the interior, and great chasms opened in the earth and tlireatened to engulf a large proportion of the people and buildings. About midnight the most frightful scene of all took place. Suddealy in enormous lumiaous cloud, similar to that which was eeen over the Gunuug Gunter, but much greater in extent, formed over the Kandang range of mountains. This cloud gradually increased in size until it formed a canopy of lurid red and whitish gray over a wide extent of territory,. Burl

ihg this time the eruptions inoreasednd

ery thing before them. Here and there a stream of lava would enter an arm of the sea, or come in contact with the water of a river. Then the lava would suddenly produce boiling heat and rapid vaporize tion, but the superficial consolidation that almost instantly ensued would pre vent any further contact With the water. The fissures that opened in this crust as it solidified on the stream of lava emitted torrents of vapor, extending high in the air aud making a tremendous seething sound, asif a thousand locomotives were simultaneously letting off steam; None of the people inhabiting these places or of the natives scattered sparsely through the forest and on the plain a escaped death. The n umbet must have aggregated fully 15,0000 souls. The entire Kandang range Gt mountains, extending along the coast in a semi circle for about sixtv five-ioiles, had gone out of fight. The waters of Welcome bay, the Sunda straits, and Pepper ba ' on the east, aa d of the Indian ocean on the South had rushed in jiud formed a sea of turbulent waters. Here and there the peak of a erater was exposed for a moment by the receding of a great wave,and occasionally a puff o!? 'brownish gray amoke or a slight shower of rocks showed that the volcanoes still continued in active subaqueous eruption. The debris of the submerged and destroyed buildings was tossed hither and thither on the waters, the sign left that ttwre had once been inhabited land theny . - Suddenly the scene was ouanged. : The mountain was split into seven parts, without a moment's warning, and where Papandayan had stood alone: there were now seven district peaks looming up to a great height. In the seam' opened could be seen great balls of molten matter. . From the fissures isisued clouds of steam, and the black ejecting piilq poured in steady stream and poured rapidly down the mountain sides, forming beds 200 or 300 feet in extent Exhalations of carbolic acid gas were so abundant that birds and animals in larg numbers were killed by it, and a few human beings lost their lives in the same wy. This proved tobe the turning point in che eruption, for the great fissures opened seemed to act as safety-valves through which the - streams of lava gently flowed down the valleys. The volcanic fires, though still burning 1 at last advices, had lost most of their fierceness, and the stream generated found vent without being preceded through the comparatively narrow mouths of the old craters. One of . the queer incidents was the sudden' rising, during Tuerday af ternoon, of fourteen new volcanic mountains in the stra'tsof Sunda forming a complete chain in almost a straight line betweea Potat St Nicholas on the Javanese coast and Hoga point on the coast of Sumatraf almost t n the; tops - f what had been fehe Morak and Middle bland, which sack into the sea on Monday, " .; . v ' , The town of Tanoahg, within twenty.five miles of the city of Batavia, was swept away by the lava stream, and iully half the population,, mostly Japanese, numbering about 1,800: perished. At Speelwyk, near Point Shlcis, the red-hct rocks set fi. e to the houses andr . swept away all the thvkly settlad portion of the town. Abouten bazaars lelongpjg to Europeans were destroyed: The loss of property is very great, but no lives are known to have been lost The river Jacatra, on the banks of which Batavia Js situated, was so completely dammed by the lava and debris that its course was changed, and from Franien bastion it flowed down through Tygers street and joined the watei s of the river Emeradee, swelling that stream to such an extent that it rose high on the C'astor batteries. Figelenknig was almost totally destroyed, and a large number of "lives were lost there..,..; ": ......... Goataye, Olops and Tjronwers islands of the portion of Java wbich disappeared, are still out of sight and not a vestige of them is left Baby and Oheribo. islands, off the north coast lest the few ' houses and inhabitants upon them. ' , : ; : One of the most singular freaks of the eruption was the oariying in the midst of the molten mass of a bed of solid ice of enormous size, wb:ch had been emitted from one of the craters. It was carried along by the curret aud landed on the extremity of Point St. Nicholas, at the northern corner of the island. This bed of ice was 8ur rounded by a thiok enyel ope of sand and scoriae, which are nonconductors of heat. It is supposed this ice had formed the crust of some subterranean lake. S XiATBB. In the city of Baut am, where 1,509 persons were at nrat supposed to have perished, the bodies of 2,800 have already been recovered. A. dispatch of Wednesday from Batavia, Java, says the towns of Anyer, Tjiringiu and Tilokbeloiig have been destroyed by volcanic eruptions; all of the light houes in the Sunda straits have disappeared, and where the mountain of Krama tan formerly stood, the sea now flows. The aspect of Sunda etrrits is much changed, and navigation is dangerous. A corresponderj t at Amsterdam says : It is believed that 100,000 persons perished in North Bantam in the recent caiainity. It is also believed that the garrison and fort at Anjier were swept An exteosive plain of volcanic stone was formed iu the sea near pampong, Summatrajpreyeating1 communication with Teiokbelonge and southwest J ava. Some nine hundred inhabitants of the interior town of Wartm jre are now known to have been killed, and at Talatra, on the coast;, 300 bodies having been found. From all over the island come reports oi loss of life and propertynd it is thought

at Batavia that the estimate of 75,000

killed will not prove excessive. On the low lands of Batavia, where, the waters have receded and quieted down, hundreds of burned and mangled bodies are lying exposed. A sanitary corps, has

been formed, and the corpses are being removed and buried as fast as ppssible,in order to prevent the breeding and spread ot contagion. , .While thera is soma oauss for anxiety on this score,it is th night t he

greater number of bodies in the interior . were so dried and scorched by ' the hot lava and stones, that they will not putrify. About daybreak on Wednesday, morning another of the startling incidents ot tendant upon the great disturbances was manifested. With the cessation of the paroxysms many emanations of vapors evolved theoise.ves, These vapors, as is usual, contain a variety of acids, and as , the lava pooled down deposited saline

incrustations at the mouth of , the4l
