A GREAT> EARTHQUAKE. Whole Town* Deutrorrd nnd Hundreds of Livi'it l.o*t AIon? tlie .South 1'aclHc Coast. We glean the following particulars of the recent earthquake and tidal wave that caused such terrible loss of life and property along the south Pacific const: At about 8:30 on the night of the ninth ? severe earthquake shock, lasting from four to five minutes, moved the entire southern coast, even reaching down as far as Antofagasta. So severe was the movement that in many places it was Impossible to stand upright without support. The first shock was succeeded by several others of less intensity, and then the sea, receding from the shore, seemed to couceutrate its strength for the fearful and repeated attacks it made upon the laud. Leaving Callao and proceeding southward the first port visited was Pis co, wnere me aamage was not great. At Mollendo the railway was torn up by the sea for a distance of 300 feet, since repaired, and a violent hurricane afterward set in from the south preventing tbo approach of all vessels, and unroofing the houses of the town. At Ho the railway was also injured, but' to no great extent. At Arica the people were busily engaged in preparing temporary fortifications to repel a threatened assault of the rebel ram Hauscar at the very moment when the roar of the earthquake was heard. The shocks were very numerous, and caused immense damage in the town, the people flying to the Morro for safety. The sea was suddenly perceived to reccde from tho beach, and a wave from ten to fifteen feet in height rolled in upon the shore, carrying before it all that it met. Eight times was repeated this assault of the oceau. The earthquake litul leveled to the ground the custom house in great part, the railway station, the submarine cable office, the hotel, British consulate, steamship agency and many private dwellings. Owing to the early part of the evening and the excitement attendant on the proposed attack of the Haiiscar, every one was ont and stirring, and the only loss of life reported is that of three children who were overtaken by the water. The progress of the wave was only stopped at the foot of the hill 011 which the church stands, which point is further inland than that reached in August, 1868. Four miles of the embankment of the railway melted away lika sand before the assault of the water; locomotives, cars and rails were hurled about by the sea like so many playthings and left in a tumbled mass of rubbish. The United States steamer Wateree, stranded by the bore of 18(58, was lifted up bodily and floated two miles north of her old position. The cable 'buoy was moved a quarter of a mile northward. Merchandise from the custom house and stores was carried by tho water to a point on the beach live miles distant. The damage done was greater than that of the previous calamity, as the new buildiugs erected since 1SG8 were of a more costly and substantiid class. The next morning the scene was pitiful. The shocks still continued; the sea was yet dreadfully agitated; the only two vessels in the bay, anchored far out, escaped injury, but all the launches and boats had been destroyed. The people passed the night on the hills. Plunder had been commenced; the evil-disposed improved the occasion to rob the goods scattered aloug the beach, and the prefect to inforce order was obliged to ebmmand his troops to fire upon the thieves. This occasioned a tumult in which several men were killed and wounded. From the interior supplies of food and clothing were sent down. Tacua and the other island towns felt the shock but slightly. Arequipa, the chosen victim oi earthquakes, was this time left intact Iquiqne is in ruins. The movement was experienced there at the same momeut and with the same superhuman force. Its duration was exactly four minutes and twenty'seconds, proceeding from the southeast directly from the location of the Ilaga. The houses, built of wood and cane, tumbled down at the ; first onset of the enemy. Lumps were ! broken, and the burning oil spreading I over tho drbri*, immediately started a i general conflagration. Three companies 1 of firemen, German, Italian aud Peru- \ vian, were instantly at their posts, although it was still difficult to maintain an up ight position, shock following shock with dreadful regularity. In order to procure water the two best lire engines were stationed on the beach, and the work began. Just then the cry arose: "The sea! the sea!" aud the angry waves rushed in?the engines were | carried out by the reflux, and the tire ! continued unopposed. Three elements i nf /locf rnr?fi#m V-mcx* of nnn I Fire, water and the earthquake! The j affrighted people gave up all attempts at ; resistance, and left the city to its fute, j flying to the neighboring eminences. I The lire destroyed a large portion of the j town ; the earthquake leveled nearly j all the rest, and the water covers the ! ruins which it took out in its reflux, j Four entire squares of buildings were j swamped and taken by the waves; all the j wharves were destroyed; the custom ! house is gone; the nitrate stores have j disappeared; the water-condensers along j the shore ruined?a most irreparable loss | for .Iquique, as n) portable water is found there. Small loss of life took j place, probably ten persons in all. The Grimaneza, a water-boat, was stranded j oa the island in the liarbor. The Brit- j i8h bark Gaprera and a German bark, j the Zoennis Yoss, sank. All the coasting crafts and small boats | in the harbor were broken to pieces and ; drifting about iu every direction. On board occurred the loss of life alluded to. j The prefect immediately began the work | of reorganization. As in Arica, robbery of the goods found in the streets was at- | tempted, but an urban guard was formed of the citizens aud such severe measures resorted to that the robbers were speedily checked. It was now discovered that the cable was injured, and the dispatches sent to Lima and Arica for help i and water principally were detained. : Awav un on the vaniuun. eleven miles from Iquique, the splendid nitrate cs- j tablishment, "La Nueva Carolina," was completely destroyed; the town of I Tarapaoa, twenty-three leagues inland, ; and the villages of Pica, Matilla and j Ganchonea more or less ruined. The | sufferings of the people of Iquique were i intense ; the absence of water and the destruction of the principal stores added to their hardships* tents were improvised along the sifle.-j of the hills, near the town, and the neighborhood soon resembled a vast encampment. It is e3timate.l that the damage done in Iquique i will amount to nearly 4,000,000 of soles. Chanavaya, the little town at the i guano loading deposits known as P.ibellon de Pica, with 400 houses, to-day has only two standing. Here, as at Iquique, the earthquake was followed by fire. As fortune would have it there were no fire engiues in the town and so the sea took ! pity 011 the inhabitants, came in and ex- ! tingjiohed tlie conflagration, but as it Vf'firp:! P.ivrioil nft* nil frlnf rnmninml r\( the place. A little chapel was seen floatiug off on the waves, ami afterward was ! found brokeu into pieces far to the southward. Iu one of the guan j cuttings thirty laborers were buried b\* the falling earth aud suffocated. Among the shipping the havoc was terrible. One captain states chat the stern of his vessel was lifted from the water by the up- i heaval at an angle of forty-five degrees, and he for the instaut imagined she was going down bow on. The shock of earthquake was especially > severe at Chanavaya ; in some spots the j earth opened in crevices of fifteen meters 1 in depth, and the whole surface of the ground was changed. At le;ist two hundred people were killed, bodies were floating around in the bay, and a pestilence is feared. A small steamer, the Baliestas, was instantly dispatched to % Iquique for assistance, but the condition of that place was such that but little could be afforded. Still a quantity of water, the principal necessity, and some provisions were embarked, with which the sufferers may be sustained for a little time. Few, however, remained, the great majority taking the road for Iquique, eighteen leagues distant, hoping there to find relief and shelter. Poor Iquique has enough to occupy her attention in providing for her own wants. At Huanillos, another guano loading station, the damage inflicted was fearful. All the houses were destroyed; the guano cuts have fallen in, and as at Pabellou all loading must be suspended for at least two months, as that time will be requisite to effect the necossarv repairs. At Huanillos the wave which succeeded the earthquake and cgpipleted the work of destruction was nearly sixty feet in height. At Punta De Lobos two vessels were lost?the Havre (French) and Shamrock (JCiUgiisn;. rourieeu bmp? wwu or less injured. The loading fleet, or at least the survivors, must come back to Callao for the extensive repairs they require, and already two vessels have arrived bringing some of the wretched victims of the disaster, who are properly cared for by the authorities. Antofagasta, Mexillones, Tocopilla aud Cobija, towns on the coast of Bolivia, met with the same misfortune and earthquake and tidal wave, at the same time, and are in an identical condition with Iquique ami Arica. At Antofagasta the atmosphere was illuminated by a red glare which was supjjosed to proceed from the volcano of San Pedro de Atacama, a few leagues in the interior. The sea completely swept the business portion of the town during four hours. The vessels in the harbor stood out, and the steamer Amazonas, about to commenco discharging when the movement took place, had a narrow cscape from destruction. Several lives'were lost. Mexillones was visited by a tidal wave sixty-live feet in height; two-thirds of the town completely obliterated; guan? snoots, wuarves, lauucnes, uouis, water distilleries, railway station, locomotives, cars and fnruiture all swallowed up by the insatiable enemy, the sea. At Mexiilones six persons were drowned. At Tocopilla little or nothing remains of the town. A mine four miles to the southward, sank in, smothering two hundred workmen, of whom forty were Cornish miners. Cobija, the principal town on the Bolivau coast, has lost three-fourths of its houses. The wave, thirty-five feet high, swept along the main business street and left it as level as the desert. Wharves aud launches were ull carried out to sea. The church spire was knocked over, and even consecrated ground was entered? the cemetery suffering somewhat from the watery foe. All of these towns are in the greatest distress; water is wanted. The condensers being on ths very sea shore, were the first objects overwhelmed by the waves. The Locust in Pennsylvania. There is no better place for the seventeen year locust thau Pennsylvania, for this insect has a decided preference for forests of oak, in which that State is rich. Evergreens are not to the taste of the harvest fly, ami tlie insect usually avoids the piue woods, neither is it found in low alluvial lands, which accounts for its appearance this year in the high grounds of New Jersey, while the marshes are clear of its presence. The writer of this article well remembers the appearance of the locust in Pennsylvania twenty-four years ago, and its stay is still as fresh in his memory as if it had taken place only last year. As in Jersey the coming of the swarm was almost simultaneous. The earth seemed to open only to exude insects, and soon the woods and fields were strewn with their cast off shells, while the air and the trees were thick with flying and drumming locusts. All day long the air was tilled with their noises. They were a curiosity then just as they are a curiosity in Jersey now, and men and children handled them until many persons were stung. The trees and shrubs everywhere bore evidences, not of their ravages, properly speaking, for the locust is not a great feeder, as is plain from the absence of anything like a digestive apparatus, but the incisions made for the purpose of depositing their eggs. Soon they began to die, and then, although it was midsummer, the great oak forests seemed to have been blighted as by the frosts of October. The tops of the trees showed only dead and breaking branches, or, rather, twigs, which in time fell off and dropped to the earth. Wherever the eggs were laid the decay of branches began and in the economy of nature this was completed so that the larva fell to the earth for its seventeen years of repose at the exact moment apparently when it was ready for its long burial. Au egg is only about one-thirticth of an inch in diameter, and it grows to its full size in these seventeen years of subterranean development. Ilow fur the insect penetrates the ground is questionable, but for a year or two before the reappearance of the swarm it is no uncommon thing for the farmer to turn up rare specimens in the furrow. These, of course, are still iu the chrysalis state, and this condition is maintained until the appearance of the insect above ground, when the shell is at once shaken off and the perfect fly revealed. A Laily in a Smoking Car. We witnessed au amusing incident, last Friday, while on the river train from St. Paul to Hastings, says the Farmington 1'rexit. A lady of good proportions, well dresse.l, and' of a genteel appear auce, came into the smoiung car, just as the train siiirted, and was fixing herself in position, when we ventured to say : " This is the smoking car." "I kuow that as well as you do, sir," she cheerily responded. " Why, how selfish these men are; they never want a lady to enjoy what frhey do themselves," Oi course wo subsided. Seating herself at hor ease near an open window, the lady at once proceeded to draw from a neat case a cigar, which she lighted and then puffed away with evident relish. She minded her own business until a rude customer of the masculine gender (a little too full of beer) ventured to take a seat beside lier. But this merely she did not resent. Palling out his cigar he asked the lady for a match. She politely responded, and continued smoking, puffiug the fumes out of the window. A minute or two afterward the masculine hitched a little nearer and made some inquiry that madam did not consider relevant. She raised her voice, and in clear and very distinct tones remarked: "You are getting impertinent, sir. It is none of your business where I am from or where I am going to. I have the same right to sit here that you have, and if you don't behave yourself I shall speak to the conductor." She then proceeded coolly with her smoking, aud that chap got up and dusted.

THE RESOURCES OF TURKEY. , Eugene 8clmylcr Thinks Ilcr Finnncinl Itutn J Inevitable Even Without War. Eugene Schuyler, secretary of lega- c tion and consul-general at Constantino- i pie, in a recent communication to the 1 department of State writes as follows : ' The disturbed financial condition of the < country has weighed very heavily upon i its prosperity during the last few years. < Aside from the depressed state of the ] Turkish finances and the stagnation of ] trade, which was rapidly producing a ( crisis, a series of financial measures has i nearly completed the commercial ruin of < the country. The insurrection of Bosnia 1 and Herzegovina, and the war with Serbia, also had their effect upon trade. < Prices rose even for the ordinary necessi- ! ties of life; besides which, on account of i hard times, the consumption of even the i most necessary articles was greatly re- ( duced. Last of all, although since the ' period to which this report refers (July 1, 1875, to June 30, 187G), are the issues of paper money, which have still further disturbed the market. I mi.- L A/vmmnMA.'nl 1 JLjit; ?jreui? UUOUiUiCD l*J iuc uuiumuituu i prosperity of Turkey come from the gov- 1 eminent itself, especially .from the high ' taxes, the arbitrary manner in which ] they are collected, and more than all, , the difficulty of obtaining justice in the < courts. The resources of the country 1 are great, but ^t is impossible to utilize * them. The. Turks themselves have no \ capital to employ in the development of i agriculture, mines or manufactures, and 1 great obstacles are offered to the intro- ' duction of foreign capital and onerous restrictions placed upon its use. , Fur these reasons the promises of j measures for the development of the resources of Turkey, which are so frequently repeated, are idle Avoids. In ] spite of the law wli^rh promised the remodeling of the financial system, and j that the Imperial Ottoman Bunk should be t the payer-general and the receiver-gen- J end, and, in fact, the sole financial agent 1 of the Turkish government, the practice has not been in accordance with the j promises. The public debt of Turkey ( now amounts, as near as can be ascer- < taiued, to about ?927,000,000, the annual ' interest and oilier expenses on which ' reach ?05,500,000, or more than half the [ total revenue of the empire. It is very i .1N)SaiiU fn nofimnfn trlinf ia flifi oniAnnf J of the actual revenue and actual expenses of Turkey. No reliance can be placed c upon the budgets published. In fact, ) although everybody knew that the gov- ' eminent was running largely into debt J every year, the budgets for the same J time nearly balance; By the last lmdget . published, that for tho year ending March 12, 1870, the expenses of the gov- 1 eminent are placed at 8124,395,108, ( while the receipts are estimated at $102,- f (196,642, leaving a deficit of over $21,- i 000,000. There will be an additional i deficit each year, and as Turkey hence- 11 forth will be precluded from borrowing money outside, the financial ruin of the c country seems inevitable. , ] Alligators in Florida. c XT _ l :ai_ ,i; xi.- T UbWUilbUlUUlUg UltS lUlUlUIlbU lillLu* 4 bcr? of nlligators which lmve been killed during the last four or five years in this j State, they do not seem to decrease in * numbers as one would naturally sup- v pose. Captains of steamboats on the J St. John's say that they are still ap- 3 parently as numerous as ever, although very large ones are seldom seen now in t this part of the State, but in the marshes t and lakes of the upper St. John's and c all over the more southern parts of the J State, they are still found in large numbcrs. No one seems to know the length of time required for an alligator to come * to years of discretion and size, and if th^rOi are any marks by which the age can be known, they are kept secret, but it is certain that they are prolific in their } increase, a nest often containing two hundred eggs, most of which hatch, and, unless destroyed by violence, a large . proportion of the young are raised. A few years since, the skins were in demand at from fifty cents to one dollar each, and thousands were slaughtered. In one iustauce, a single individual 2 killed within a space of live months over 1 one thousand to fill a contract, but as tliat species of leather soon went out of fnshion the business declined, but seems to be reviving again somewhat. Another inducement to their capture is the teeth, which frequently command high prices, and are a standard articlc of commerce in the Southern markets, mostly for | ornamental purposes.

But its ravages ire so secret, that even its victims are unaware )f its presence until it suddenly discloses itself n some of its myriad and ofttiines fatal forms. V slight cutaneous eruption is often the only ndicator of its presence. The only means of :xterminating this disease from the system is >y a thorough course of constitutional treatnent.

M>j Dear Sir?Having at various times, perionally, and in my own and other familios, csted* the great value of the medicine called Peruvian Syrup or Protected Solution of Pro,oxide of Iron, I most cheerfully recommend t, especially to those who are suffering from lyspeptic and nervous disorders. As a reliable ihd powerful alterative, it is, I think, unsurpassed: and as a tonic,free from all tho objection ible features of alcoholic remedies, it is "a most ;fiicicnt auxiliary to the temperance cause. Due of the greatest hindrances to the tempernice reform at presence is, I think, the niedi:al use of alcoholic stimulants. "Whatever may 30 argued as to their necessity in certain cases, [ve have iu the Peruvian Syrup, a safe and jfticient substitute for those dangerous remedies. This testimony is given unsolicited, ivith the hope that some who are not yet acquainted with the valuable properties of the nedicine may bo induced to give it a trial. Yours truly, John Gbeqoby.
