Vet the author is doomed to blush unseen while wasting his sweetness in some gin-shop. 'lhe "liner," then, is "the pieker-up oi unconsidered trilles tne scavenger of the press. As such he is attached to no one paper, but contributes to all. He belongs to uo stall' and acknowl edges no superior. 11 is dudy work de pends entirely upon his own selection, and his anxiety at all hours is for new s. AVhen his search is successful, he pro ceeds to use his "blacks," a carbonized paper, his stylus, and his wits, in order to produce some six or eight "flimsies," which he afterward drops into the, re spective "editor's" boxes of Fleet street, in the hope that one, two, three, or even more of the journals of the following day will contain his item of intelli gence. The liner is paid by the line for what is used only, and hence his in come is a most precarious one. Tor chance some windfall may put a heap of gold ia his way, at rare intervals, but in the ordinary course his "llimsios" are thrown into tho waste baskot as soon as received. Bub-editors are but human, and badly-written, almost illegiblo, horribly speneu, and jranticnily ungrammatical expressions on commonplace subjects are liable to try their putionce unduly. "Iioil it down" is a rule which is not to the "liner's" interest to observe. On the other hand, ono of tho chief quali fications of his craft is to enlurgo, ex pand, distend, dilate the most matter-of-fact circuniHtauces. Artful "liners" write a small, cramped hand, and leave no margins for corrections or space be tween the lines. if so fortunate as to secure some sort of engagement by one of tho morning or eveuiug papers, tho "liner" has a stimulus to labor honestly, which most of his fraternity are with out. There is every reason to suppose that low-class "liners" make the major part of their incomes out of the dout iers they receive for sup pressing reports. 1'iovi.leJ tliore be a i-uiiiuiuuwuu among moil, nicy cuu safoly promise to "keep it out of the papers," and they are sometimes bribed to hush np what probably never w ould have appeared at all; for it is tho ignorant man who magnilles his per eon al affairs that is most desirous of paving himli money. 'f he feeling of rivalry is so strong among "liums" that they do nut hesitate to betray each other when it serves their juirposn. An amusing incident is related by Mr. .lames (J rant, formerly rditor of The Morning Advertiser. A "liner," who, in those days, wasallowod access to the sub editor's room, placed on the table a repoit of the ronmntio elojiement of a rich beauty with a stable-boy. Tho sub-editor w'a absent, and before he returned another "liner" entered the room, saw the hoadiug of tho copy and purloined tho news. Mum, he set to work to rewrite the statement, w hich was a most interesting one, and, nuder his own name, took it back to the office. The aecouut duly appeared. Hoth "liners" sent in the''- bills, an.l the dishouest one was llrst at the cash ier's counter, aud went his way with his ill-gotten gains. On the arrival of the real author a scene onsuod.and the sub editor was called upou to produce the MSS. On his doing so the victimized "liner" was bewildered to find that it was Lis rival's handwriting. A collision subsequently took place, in the sub editor! iiresonce, between the two ponny-a-liuers," and by and by the re criminations reached so great a height that the real author, determined to be revenged on his enemy at all hazards, broke out with great energy in these words : "Sir, the article is mine.

It is not the greatest wonder in F.nroTie. looked at siniolv as one of th great freaks of nature, for everything ureal is a ireaa, wueiucr it is a moan tain or a man. The regulur thing is dead level, and anything which dial lenaes attention and holds it, is freak. The average is the natural, any thing bevond is abnormal. A eauvius is by uo means as impos' ing. considered merely as a mountain, as scores of others, nor does it impress the observer. Mount Jilanc, lifting its snow-crowned summit into the skies, is a greater and a grander object, and so is the Jungfrau. An I so likewise are scores of mountain peaks in tho Sierras. esiivius is a mountain of no extra ordinary height, clad with vines at the base and above to its very crow.i, as ul'Iv at sin when you are near enou to it. There is always a column of smoke rising from its summit, which is beuut.ful at a distance, but in and of it self does not either awe or inspire. As a part of a picture the mountain is wonderfully beautiful. It is a, proper finish to the magnificent bay atitsbusn, and the islands that dot the biv would lose half their beauty but for this giant among them that makes always a great back-ground. 1V itself it is only to so as a part of a magni'icont whole it is wonderful, because it is exactly what is necessary to the re .t. Nature always finishes up everything. To get up to tne crater tliore are two ways, ingiisn capitalists, wno are argus-eyed, saw that the whole world had to go up Vesuvius, and they imme diately set about making profit out of it. A company built a railroad Irora the foot of the mountain almost to its summit, straight up the side, the same as the one to the top of Mount Wash' ington. This road ia extended in al most to the edge of the crater and you go that way if you choose. I p the mountain you climb, r or few miles vou ride through vineyards, olive and mulborry orchards, through little lanes and by villages all crowded with beggars. Then you come into vast fields of c'liders, through which you toil painfully, until finally worn out aud with a secret amnrgation at the necessity that compelled you to the toil, vou reach tne lower edge of the lava fields. The crater is simply a vast bottom less gulf, but with the breuth of the fires in the earth s center, which cannot be describt d. From the gulf ascends forever the smoke of nature s torment. It is as near an approach to the old orthodox idea of a hell as can be well imagined. It is a gulf with fire in its interior, a fire that is never quenched, but burns on forever and forever. V hat feeds it? Who knows? Science stops short at this point, as it does at ma y others. Conjectures nre as plent (is blackberries, but as to certiiu.'ies, it is, mid that is all that is known of it or 'evt r will bo. o one can ever go down into the devil's kitchen to find out. and it doesn't make much difference whethor it is ever known.

In the lost number of The Sidereal Messenger, I have briefly stated some objections to this theory, as follows: .No similar results at least to any greit extent had been known to follow volcanio eruptions. If the matter started from Java on the 2lith of August, its rate of motion through the atmosphere till its appearance in 15raz.il was 10'J miles an hour. Or, if we assume that the ap pearance in South America was derived from the Alaska outburst, we have the additional improbability that results of character before unknown follow vjlcanio erupt.ons in opposite hemis pheres at nearly the same time.
