As far as we have p >een able to learn the difference in j y he mortality of the disease in one ?<ection from another, is due more to < he difference of treatment and to j( he difference of the surroundings j g ?f the patient than to any difference j D the character of the disease itself. Cvery measles patient must be pro- i j ected from exposure to a cold for a i|Jf d of from tor, dacs to three weeks ter the disease /has apparent))* j jQj sappeared, as tho 'lunps and mu- j tj ins coat of the bowels are for some me very susceptible to in iuflamma- j ?ry attacks. j One great danger from which the easles f^tient should be most re- j piously guarded is viz: Ignorant ge( iends or inexperience doctors who ^ ould physic him with calomel or j ^,j her strong medicine to act ou th6 | gjj ready irritated bowels. Great daDger may occur from in- . imation of the air passages; the dis- j ise may thus become complicated, j in subjects predisposed to con- ! imption the seeds of that disease J j oUJ ay be developed. The eyes, too, 1 . e sometimes left irritable and in- ^ imed. In all ordinary cases a sim e diet, the maintainance of equable mt mperature, or the exhibition of a ! scj ild diaphoretic (sweat) or expecto- j nt is all that is required. j j While ou this subject we wish to j mark on the danger incident to Qe e use of calomel at any time, but j ? ore especially in cases of typhoid , ver and measles. A good dose ot wa lorael at the beginning of .a case of ? ther disease is almost certain death, no ) matter whether tho dose be ad| f&? inistered by one of those Smart ! . ; wo licks, who tbiDk they are "pretty >od doctors," or whether the potion > administered by an ignorant, j , ough well-meaning doctor.

G. Hall this afternoon brought detailed news of the latest outbreak of volcanic fires in Hawaii. The first appearance of spouting fire was on Sunday night, Jan. 18, when a coin cm of lire was seen to ^ shoot up tLree or four miles below JEUt the summit of Muuna Loa, atf l>obakuolian?l^Js**jrgpj '^erylhing more than thirty-six N -"_"Tec-ord showed 383 welldefined shocks, with rcanv smaller 1 " tremors and jars. The lava found an underground channel, through which it surged down & steep slope for ten miles, openirg a fissure at Keau Hill, and from thence poured in three distinct streams to the sea, twenty miles away. On January "20 a large party, with a photographer, weut up to the head of the flow. It was one of the grandest sights ever neeD. The crater was boiling and throwing red lava. From below, fresh lava was seen spouting masses of tlames "like rockets. Thev rode to the edge of - O Koa grove to see fresh lava flowing miies of blood-red, bubbling liquid I Are. We have a letter of Jan. 22 from a i lady at Tabula. "We watched the ' beautiful snow, a thunder storm, aod a water spout on Muuua Loa a few days ago," she says. "Now we have another display. Sunday night at 9 o'clock the word came," the mounj tain has burst, and when we stepped j on the verande we saw a great ; column of fire and smoke bursting I down the western slope. We were i struck dumb. It was terrible, i through thnty miles away. The air j was chilly, and the sky an inteuse j blue aud brilliant with stars. We i were fascinated. It seemed a living | eDemy threatening us with an awful fate. The earth was trembling under : us. We had six terrific earthquake ; shocks during the night.
