A Practical Joke. The Cincinnati
Times is anxwerablo for the follow ng:
On the 1st of April, at evenio. the
door beil of a Cincinnati merchant rsnr,
and on the Mcp was found a basket with
a beautiful baby in it, and a note aigncd
''Cora," addressed to the roan of the
bouse, saying iibe wan unable to support
it without his aid. and a ho was as nearly
re k ted to it as the was, the babe wait sent
to htm fur good treatment and education.
The appearance of the chit J and the ex
planatory note, produced a domestic lsccne
more easily conceived than described.
The husband fell on his kncc, proteting
by all the &tiuU that the chill wai not
his; while the wife as earncfctly protested
her full belief that it wa his, and no
body's but his. In the tmdt of these
mutual protestations the husband's eye
chanced to fall on the empty cradle of
his own baby in ono corner of the room,
and the whole thing flashed to htm at
once he was sold, thoroughly sold and
declared at once that he would father the
child and any other his wife might charge
him with.

in response to the everlasting cry of the
"devil," the two above named villains,
one of them armed with a hatchet and
the other with a bowie-knife of large di
mensions, made a violent attack upon our
person. The only alternative was to fight
or die. We accordingly siczed a large
knife, about two feet long,, used for cut
ting paper, and bled our assailants pretty
freely. They sued for mercy, we spared
their worthless lives and told them to
dut, and they got up and dusted. We
would take this occasion to state that if

the tnteution of doing bodily harm we
will shoot them dead in their tracks or

JSyA gentleman writes from Rome,
Ga., that, if a freedman tells the ' Bureau
that a farmer owes him a sum of money,
and the farmer protests that he doesn't
owe him a dollar and asks for a trial, no
trial is granted, but a military judgment
is summarily rendered against him for
probably more than he is worth, his prop
erty seized, his person put under guard,
and his family terrified, and all for noth
ing do writ, no charge, no jury, no ex
amination, no iqquiry, nothing but the
black vagabonds "say so." :
Good Counsel. Wait, mother, before
you speak harsh to the little chubby
rogue who has torn trowsers, and soiled
his white Marseilles jacket. He is only
a child, and "mother" is the sweetest and
most sacred word in all the world to him.
Needle and thread and soap will repair all
damages now, but if once you teach him
to shrink from his mother, and hide away
his childish faults, that damage cannot
be repaired,

tructlon of Llfo and Property.
By tho brig Comet, which arrived at
this port yesterday, wo have files of the
Honolulu Advertiser, and an Extra from
that office, dated April 15th, giving full
accounts of the great eruption of Mauna
Loa, on tho island of Hawaii, and the ex
traordinary phenomena accompanying the
volcanic disturbance.
THE EARTHQUAKES.
The eruption was precluded by numer
ous sharp and severe shocks of earth
quake, which wcro felt on all the islands
with moro or less uistiuctoncss, but wc.e
more destructive on tho Island of Hawaii.
On the 28th of March the shocks began
and wcro continued with more or less se
verity until the final catastrophe, which
occurred on the 2d of April. Tho earth
opened in various directions; the sea rose
in extraordinary waves, and the islauds
rocked like shrubs in a breeze. On
tho afternoon of the second the earth
quakes above alluded to took place, des
troying a number of native villages, and
resulting in the death of over one hun
dred persons, according to estimates by
correspondents of tho Advertiser. The
hhocks increased in intensity, and during
the afternoon and night were almost in
cessant, the severest being about 4 o'clock
p. M., when the greatest damage wasdono
by the earthquake and tidal wave, which
latter swept away, in one instance, nearly
o whole village. This wavo is reported
to iiavo occn ten or iweive leei auove
the usual high water mark, and the re
ceding of the sea was about eighteen feet
below low water mark. The sea rose and
fell eight times during the afternoon and
evening.
The whole island of Hawaii was envel
oped in smoke, the gloom of which was
lighted up by a stream of burning lava
flowing down the side of the mountain.
The greatest consternation prevailed, es-
pcciauy in inc vaui uisinci, nearest me
mountain, where the los of life was
eighty iu all, tome being drowned by the
tidal wave ana some killed by tbo earth
quakes. At Kio akaa the hill was decap-
itaie-j, tne summit octog taken ou anu
thrown a thousand fectover the adjoining
groves, landing in the valley below, with
out breaking the mass of earth. At Kea-
twa, a thousand animals, tlicep, hordes,
goats, etc., were destroyed by the poison
ous gam. which exhaled from the earth ;
and a land-slide took place burying thirty-
three natives. On Kahuku, back of the
church, a hole sixty feet in diameter and
of an unknown depth appeared, and sim
ilar cavities appear on the island. Up to
the 8th of April, 1,500 shocks had oc
curred during the past ten days.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VOLCANO.
II. M. Whitney, editor of the Adver
tiser, in a letter from Kealakekua, Haw
aii, April 13th, gives an account of what
he saw, from which wo quote the follow
ing extracts :
On ascending the ridge just west of
and opposite the MamalaPali of Kahuku,
and which was separated from us by a
valley about one-ctghth of a mile wide,
the whole scene opened before us like one
grand panorama. The valley itself was
floored over with a pavement of fresh
pahjthoe lava, from ten to twenty feet
deep, which appears to have been first
thrown out, and came from a crater about
ten miles up the mountain, which burst
out on Tuesday morning, April 7th. This
crater and stream had ceased flowiog, and
the lava was rapidly cooling, so that we
ventured to stand on it, though at the risk
of burning our boots and being choked
by the sulphurous gases.
On lucsday aftceioon, at 0 o clock, a
new crater, about two miles lower down,
and about two miles directly back of
Captain Brown s residence, burst out with
a heavy roar and a frightful crash. The
lava stream commenced flowing rapidly
down the beautiful plateau towards
and around the farmhouse, and the
inmates had barely time to escape with
what clothes they had on, before the
houses were all surrounded and enclosed
with streams of fiery llva, varying from
five to fifty feet in depth. Fortunately
all the inmates escaped safely to Waio-
hmu, but, how narrow the escape was,
and how rapid the stream flowed, may be
inferred from the fact that the path by
which they escaped was covered with
lava within ten m.nules after they had
passed over it.
The new crater, when visited by Mr.
Swain, was at least one and a half miles
in extent, nearly circular, but constantly
enlarging its area, by engulphing the
sides. While the above gentleman was
looking at it, a tract of at least five acres
in extent tumbled in and was swallowed
up like food for the devouring element.
The enlargement is going on mainly on
the lower side towards the farm-houses.
and it is thought that its diameter is al
ready about two miles. Four huge jets
or fountains were being continually thrown
up out of this great crater, ever-varying
in size and height, sometimes all joining
together and making one continuous
spouting a mile and a half long. From
the lower side of the crater a stream of
liquid, rolling, boiling lava poured out
and ran down the plateau, then down the
side of the pali (following tho track of
the government road,) then along tho foot
of the pali op precipice, five wiles to the
sea.
This was the scene that opened before
us as we ascended the ridge ' on Friday.
At tho left were these four grand foun
tains playing with terriho fury, throwing
blood-red lava and huge stones, some as
large as a house, to a height varyiqg con
stantly from 500 to 1,000 feet. The
grandeur of this scene no imagination
can picture :no one who has not seen it
can realize.
Then there was the rapid, rolling
stream, rushing and tumbling like a swol
len river, down tho hill, over tho preci
pice and down tho valley to the sea, surg
mg and roaring like a cataract with a
fury indescribable. This fiver of fire
varied from OUU to 1,2UU or J,&UO lectin
width, and when it is known that the de
scent was 2,000 feet in five miles, the
statement that it ran at tho rate of ten
miks an hour will not be doubted.
We waited till night when the scene
was a hundred fold moro grand and vivid
the crimson red of ' the lava doubly
bright; and tho lurid glaro of the red
smoko clouds that overhung tho whole,
the roaring of the rushing stream, the
noise of the tumbling rocks thrown out
of tho crater, and flashes of electric
lightning altogether made it surpass
iugly grand, and showed that man is
nothing as compared with his Creator.
This ever-varying, ever-changing, pyr
otcchuic display we watched for hours
some of us all night. 1 took a sketch on
the spot, which 1 send you, and only wish
it could be inserted in the paper as sent.
It can give only a Jaint idea of this grand
scene.
Findiug it impossible to get over to
Waiohuku, either by going up the moun
tain or by fea, wo returned to this place
cu Saturday, and hope to go on soon by
steamer. 1'roui the Kau ide the scene
is even moro beautiful than what we had.
as there visitors can get up very near the
crater, and olso directly over the lava
stream. Another advantage of tho Kau
side is that the visitor is not exposed to
the btrong sulphurous gases and smoke.
INCIDENTS OF THE ERUPTION.
The same writer from whom we have
above quoted, gives the following:
i ho uumbcr of shocks which occurred
at Waiohiuu from March 2Uth to April
10th is estimated by Mr. oillowayto have
been upwards of two thousand, there
having been some days between three
and four hundred. The heaviest shock
occurred on Thursday, April 2d, being
the same that waslell so sensibly at Hon
olulu. This dcHtrovcd every church and
nearly ivcry dwelling in the whole dis
trict. From 10 to 12 o'clock of that dav
there had been service intho large church
in Waiohtno, and it was crowded with
people. Only four hours after they left
tho heavy chock came, the walls tumbled
in, and the roof fell flat all the work of
twenty seconds.
At the same instant every man, woman
nod child were thrown from their feet.
Hordes and cattle dropped down as if dead.
A man riding on hoiscback had his
horse tumble under him so suddenly that
he found himelf hing flat on the ground
befurc the thought of an earthquake en
tered his mind.
The earth opened all through the dis
trict, and in some places caused danger
ous fissures, while in others it closed up
again. In one placo it closed up twenty
feet from where it opened. These fissures
make it dangerous to travel in the dark.
h very where the roads are broken up, and
it will take much money and labor to re
store them to their old condition.
As the Kona Packet was passing the
south point of tho Island, about three
miles from the shore, a conical Island,
400 feet high roso out of the sea, midway
between the vessel and the land, emitting
steam and smoke. The lava river flows
into the sea at this Island and has ex
tended the shore out to it one mile at
least, so that it is now on the main land.
Tho packet was so near when this Island
burst up, that the mud was spattered on
the trasts and sails of tho vessel.
Tho scene at the eruption was a most
melancholy one to witness. There were
hundreds of fine cattle grazing around
tho farm houses, when the lava streams
surrounded them and hemmed them in.
The poor animals seemed aware of the
danger, but -saw uo way to escape.
The fiery lava drew nearer and nearer
till the heat made them restless, but they
would not run. They bravely looked the
bloody foo in the face, stood firm till it
reached them, then fell in the stream a
sudden cloud of smoke followed and not
a sign leraained. Thus cne . after anoth
er fell till over two hundred were con
sumcd. An incident which ought not to be
omitted is the shower of ashes which pre
ceded tho eruption. During Monday
night, prior to tho eruption, tha ground
throughout tho district was covered with
a coating of fine saud and light pumice
stone, of a light yellowish color. Whore
this shower of sand and pumice stone
came from is as yet unknown, but proba
bly from some vent holo near the crater.
The sufferings and alarm experienced
by the residents of Kau during the two
weeks that the earthquakes and eruption
continued prior to their leaving, appear to
have been grcaf. Night after night, they
were compelled to sleep on the mountain
ridge back of tho village, exposed to the
cold and damp winds and rain from the
sea, . subsisting on taro and fishes when
they could get these, or fasting when they
could not.
The whole district is in ruins, a field
of desolation, and probably five hundred
thousand dollars would . not restore it to
what it was a month a -o. It is no won
der that the foreigners are leaving1 the
place with the intention of never return
ing to it again. ,
The number of deaths will be between
eight and one hundred. The exact num
ber will not be known ior some time, us
some persons are missing whoso absence
may yet be accounted lor. The loss ot
1110 is meiancuoiy muuu4, nuu iuu sympa
thy for the Hawaiian people, I trust, will be
deeply expressed in some way to the
mourning ana uerpavea iamiucs ox xvau,
whoso tender ties have been bo suddenly
and keenly severed by the hand of God.
The tidal wave was much greater than
beforo stated. It rolled iu over the co
ooanut trees, probably sixty feet ' high,
and drove the floating rubbish, timber,
etc., inland a distance of a quarter of a
mile in some places, taking with it when
it returned to the sea, houses, men,
women, and1 almost everything movable.

Speech.
Tho Republican party waged three wars
at one and the same time. A war against
the Southern States, a war against their
political opponents, and a war against the
Constitution of the United States. In the
prosecution of these wars they were guil
ty of almost every offense for the commis
sion of which our fathers declared ' their
independence of the British Crow.n and
made war to secure that independence. I
will say nothing of their action in regard
to the people of the Sooth. Against those
who adhered to tho Union, and who were
much more devoted to tho . Constitution
and Government of the United States
than they were themselves, they were
guilty of the following offenses charged
in the Declaration of Independence:
1st. They dissolved Legislatures for op
posing with manly firmness their inva
sions on the rights of tho people. 2nd.
They obstructed the administration of

National Banking Hyfttexn
Everybody knows that the banking bus
iness, while apparently carried on at a
very low profit, is immensely lucrative.
Though the laws generally restrict inter-
est on loans to a rate which does not ex
ceed, in any State, ten or twelve per cent,
yet bankers make fortunes faster than any
other clas. of business men : for tha inter
est which they received on discounts m
but an infitnitely small portion of their
gams. ithout going into details, tho
fact that bankers make most of their
porfits on other people's money, is a fact
and mystery of the business.
This great end of the banking business ,
is better accmplished by means of tho
national banking law than than by any
other mode that financial genius has ever
devised. The plan is a very clear one.
A man gets temporary possession of $100,
000 in greenbacks; with this ram be
buys at the United States Treasury in
Washington 100,000 in Government
bonds. He leaves the bonds in the Treas
ury, as security for the currency which he
proposes to issue. He is then supplied
with $90,000 in national bank bills, ready
printed and as good as the greenbacks
with wheh be purchased his bonds. He
now owns his bonds and has within $10,-
000 as much money as ho had in the first

How the Radical Bureau in the
South Treats the Poor White Pjeo-
ple. To give the Northern people an
idea how their money is expended by the
Radical "Bureau in the South, I will
give two examples that have come under
my knowledge. The first, a poor Irish
woman named Bryan, a widow with six
children, made her way through the
throng of negroes, who infest the soup
houses, to the agent, and informed him
. wtm - . fern
mat pno was in a "starving conaition ; '
ity in a most humble manner She was
asked when her husband died. "Last
year." "Did he remain here during the
rebellion V "He did-' "We can do noth
ing for you, then." and so cast her off for
her little ones to starve. This morning,
during a cold drizzling rain, a poorly
clad but very respectable looking woman
called in my office soliciting charity il a
few cents for a loaf of bread," A by-
. J .t.J 1 . I l. - J.J i tr 1

to the Bureau for relief." She stated
that she "had applied for charity," and
told them she was "sick and in a starving
condition.? ' She received nothing, on
account of some formality as regards jur
isdiction. - One of the gentlemen pres
ent gave her the address of Dr. Welf ;rd
a kind-hearted physician of this city, who
would prescribe for sickness. Another
gentleman stated that a few days ago he
saw the same woman present her hymn
book to a merchant, and offered to take
twenty-fivo cents for it, although it had,

and children dying by inches with hun-

as it were for a morsel of food to sustain a.
life of misery, and woe whilst thousands
of hale, hearty negroes, who positively re-
fuse to leave the city to work on the
farms in the country, are clothed and
fattened by bureau, supported by the North
at the expense of millions to do the work
of rcconsruction at the ballot-box on eleev

pause, consider, reflect beforo it is too
late. Believe not the falsehoods as put'
forth in Republican addresses, but visit
the South yourselves ee and believe.-
