i ino precipices of two hundred feet in height j the greatest depth was about two hundred and j fifty feet the lakes cones and forges remain i ed but were emptied ot lava and quiet emitting nothing but smoke excepting a lake at the south western extremity of which a bend in the ledge hid from our view all but the rising flames — evidently a short time betore the ledge had been overflowed as the lava was piled in mass j es twenty feet high or more on its outer edge \ gradually decreasing in height as it rolled in ' immense waves from it ; and without doubt the whole mass had been raised as we could ' now stand upon it and pluck ferns from the | bank we walked round the crater on the i black ledge endeavoring to find a place where ' it would be practicable to descend but the banks were ever where too much broken up to admit of it independently of that they were so heat ed that the brink could only be approached in a ' few places and these only at great risk it was cracked into great chasms from a few feet to a rod in width to which no bottom could be j seen and in places large masses had swollen j up and hen tumbled in like the bursting of an j air bubble or the failing in of a vast dome — i the hollow echoing sound beneath our feet i showed the insecurity of where we trod and the liability to giye way and precipitate us at any j moment to instantaneous death ; and i must confess that it was with fear that i walked alum i this path nf destruction on the surface of the j ledge thc rock was black and very visicular i but as it descended it grew more compact and i became ofa white or leadish color from all , these pits and chasms a white flickering flame , ascended so hot in one place where we at i tempted to cross as to singe the hair from our i hands and scorch our clothing nothing but a j precipitate retreat saved us from being envel i oped in flames the hot air would frequently j flash up from the fissures without warning and it required much caution and agility to escape from it the thermometer over one fissure rose to one hundred and sixty-two degrees ; on the ledge five hundred from the brink three feet above the ground ninety-seven degrees ; on i the lava at the same place one hundred and twenty-three degrees ; two feet above a fissure one hundred and forty-eight degrees ; eighteen i inches below the surface it rose instantly to ! one hundred and sixty-six degrees continual heavy explosions were occurring on the sides sounding like muffled artillery throwing up stones ashes and hot steam two hundred feet or more into the air and rending away the banks tumbled large masses of rock into the crater beneath indeed the whole black ledge appeared like a mere crust the igneous action ' beneath having eaten away its support and which the slightest shock would precipitate in to the gulf beneath and thus restore the crater to its ancient limits having reached the south era extremity we obtained our first view of the lake the light of which had attracted our atten : tion the previous night it was several hun dred yards in circumference and in the most sunken part of the cauldron the lava was twenty feet below its banks a liquid body boil ing bubbling and dashing in great fury oc casionally it would become encrusted over and then red streaks would shoot rapidly across its ! surface leaving a momentary glimmer like that of meteors in the centre the lava was tossed high in the air with a puffing spluttering noise ' like the blast ofa heavy bellows mingled with the roar of surf its color was livid much re sembling clotted blood of which the whole might be taken for an immense hell-brewed cauldron and the unearthly noises for the moans of agon ' ized spirits and the fiendish cries of their tor mentors tin effect upon the imagination was powerful and the reality horrible beyond de scription — janes scenes and scenery in the sandwich islands an important change has lately been made in thc turkish law respecting apos tates f'-om the mahomedon religion the law formerly punished such apostates with death but the ambassadors of england and france have frightened the ottoman government into a relinquishment of the law at least so far as those are concerned who have passed from christianity islam ism and seek to return those who have been born mahomedans are not we pre sume relieved from the bondage of the ' law remarkable repeating watch — in the j academy of science at st petersburg in i russia is a repeating watch about the size of an egg within is represented the redeemer's tomb with the stone at the ! entrance and the sentinels ;

he had killed several hundred buffaloes and knew their tempers in every sort of situation he knew that the animal when in large herds was easi ly mastered and was well aware that when a lone he was sometimes dogged and even dang erous ; he therelore followed his prey cautious ly about a mile knowing that he would lie down again ere long . the buffalo now stopped per cival got within fifty yards of him watching an opportunity to strike him mortally ; but the beast seeing his enemy so near wheeled com pletely round put his huge shaggy head to the ground before his fore feet as is their custom when they attack each other and rapidly ad vanced upon the hunter who instantly fired and put his ball through the bull's nose ; but seeing the temper he was in and knowing what a serious antagonist he was when on the offen sive he also immediately turned and fled in running down a short hill some briars threw him down and he dropped his gun — there was a tree not far from him of about 18 inches diameter and every thing seemed to de pend upon his reaching it ; but as he rose to make a push for it the buffalo struck him on the fleshy part of the hip with his horn and slight ly wounded him before however the beast could wheel round upon him again he gained the tree upon which all the chance he had of preserving his life rested a very few feet from this tree grew a sapling about four or five inches in diameter a most fortunate circum stance for the hunter as it contributed material ly to save his life the buffalo now doggedly followed up his purpose of destroying his adver sary and a system of attack and defence com menced that perhaps is without a parallel the buffalo went round and round the tree pursuing the man jumping at him in the peculiar manner of that animal every time he thought there was a chance of hitting him ; whilst percival grasp ing the tree with his arms flung himself round it with greater rapidity than the animal could follow him in this manner the buffalo har rassed him more than four hours until his hands ■ became so sore with rubbing against the rough bark of the oak tree and his limbs so fatigued that he began to be disheartened in going round the tree the buffalo would sometimes pass between it and the sapling ; [ but the distance between them was so narrow ! that it inconvenienced him especially when he | wanted to make his jumps ; he therefore fre i quently went round the sapling instead of going ! inside ot it the time thus consumed was pre cious to percival — it enabled him to breathe i and to consider how he should defend himself after so many hours fruitless labor the bull seemed to have lost his pristine vigor and be came slower in his motions he would now make his short start preparatory to his jump only at intervals and even then he jumped doubtingly as if he saw that percival would a void his blow by swinging to the other side it was evident he was baflled and was consider ing what he should do still continuing in his course round the tree but in his slow manner he at lengih made an extraordinary feint that does honor to the reasoning powers of the buf falo family he made his little start as usual and when percival swung himself round the bull instead of aiming his blow in lhe direction he had been accustomed to do suddenly ti rned lo the side of the tree where percival would be brought when he had swung himself round and struck with all his might the feint had almost succeeded ; percival only just saved his head and received a severe contusion on his arm which was par alyzed for an instant he now began to des pair of saving his life ; his limbs trembled un der him he thought the buffalo would wear him out and it was so inexpressibly painful to him to carry on this singular defence that at one time he entertained the idea of leaving the tree and permitting the animal to destroy him as a mode of saving himself from pain and anx iety that were intolerable but the buffalo just at that time giving deci ded symptoms of being as tired as himself now stopped tor a few minutes and percival took courage remembering that he had his butch er's knife in his breast he took it out and be gan to contrive plans of offence ; and when the bull having rested awhile he re-commenced his old rounds percival took advantage ofthe slow ness of his motions and using a great deal of address and management contrived in the course of half an hour to stab and cut him in a dozen different places the animal now became weak from the loss of blood and although he continued to walk round the tree made no more jumps contenting himself with keeping his head and neck close to the ground this closed the conflict for it enabled percival to extend his right arm and give him two deadly stabs in the eyes nothing could exceed the frantic rage of the unwieldy animal when he had lost his sight he bellowed he groaned he pawed the ground and gave out every sign of conscious ru in and immitigable fury he leaned against the sapling for support and twice knocked him ! self down by rushing with his head against the ! large tree the second fall terminated this ! strange tragic combat which had now lasted nearly six hours the buffalo had not strength to rise and the conquerer stepping up to him and lilting up his nigh shoulder cut all the flesh and ligaments loose and turned it over his back he then after resting himself a few minutes skinned the beast took a piece of the meat to the canoe made a fire broiled and ate it featherstonhaiigh | rage for the ridiculous a fashion always becomes more fash ionable as it becomes more ridiculous — people cling to it as they pet a monkey for its deformity the high head dresses of france which must have been a burthen made the tour of europe and endured throughout a century the high heels which almost wholly excluded safe walk ing lasted their century the use of pow der was universal until it was driven from france by republicanism and out of eng land by famine the flour used by the british alone for whitening their heads was calculated to amount to the animal provision for five thousand people snuff had been universally in use from the mid dle of the seventeenth century : and the sums spent upon this filthy and foolish in dulgence the time wasted on it and the injury done to the health if they could all have been thrown into the common form of money would have paid the nation.al debt of england the common people have their lull share of this general ab surdity the gin drank in england and wales annually amounts to nearly twen • ty millions of pounds sterling a sum which ' would pay all the poor-rates three times ;
