A4 Column of Firec One T/wousaThi Feet in~ * IHeight, an~d a Ricer of Flame Thir:Ufcc 3 illes Lomr,. .A.jet of lava of more stupendous propor tion. than anfy, ever conceived of, ?s descrlibed by Mr. Conn in the Imoii Pr/cna, of Feb ruary, ini his account of the eruptioni of Manua Loa, on the Island of UJau ali: The eruption commenced near the summit of the mountain, and only five or. six miles southeast ef the erup tion in 18S3. For tu 0 days this summit crater sent.down its burning floods alcng the northeastern slepe of the mouuntain ; then sudidenlyv the vale closed, una the great .furnace appare.t4y cased bi st. After thirty'-six hours the fusit was seen burst ing out of the eastern side (f the mountain, about mi lway from the top of the base. It woul seem that the .summ*it lava had found a subterranean tunnel, for half w av down the mountain, wThen comingt to a weakt point, or meeting with some obstruction, it burst up verticamlly, sending a column of incan descent fusia one thousand feet high into the air. This fire jet wasl about 'one hundredC feet in diameter, and it was sustained for twenty days and nigots. varying in height froim one hundred to a thousand feet. 'The disgorgemient from the mountain side was of ten with terrific expiosions, which shook the hills, and with detonations which were heard for forty miles. This column of liquid fire was an object of surpassing brilncyv, of i: tense and awful grandeur. As the jct isua from the awful orifice it u as at white heat. As it assended higher it rh&lden, d like fresh blood, deepenmizg its co'or, m.til in its des.cent much:of m.t assumed the color of cletted gore. Sa few daws it had raised a cone some thre' hundred feet high around the burning *ri.fice, and as the snowers of burning miner als fell in livid torrents upon the cone, aind quiveri-ng with restless action, and sendmng out it become one vast heap of g2)wmng coals, flashing the heat of ten thousand furnaces in full blast. The struggles in -iisgorging the fiery masses, the upward rush of the colano, the force which raised it one thousand verti cal feet, and the continuou4 fahing back of thousands of tons of minetal fui-- into the throat of the crater, and over a cone of glow ing minerals, one naile in cirenn:fereonce, was a sight to inspire awe and terror, attended with explosive shocks which seememd to rend the mural ribs of the mnountinm, and sound to waken the dead and startle the sKh isi lladles. From this fountain a river of fire went rush inigand leaping down the mountain with amazing velocity, fillir.g up basins and ravines, dashing over precipices, and expluding rooks until it reached the for est at the base of the mountain, where it burned its fiery way, con suming the jungle,.gvaporating the water of the streams and po~ols, cutting down thme trees, and sending up clouds ot smu:>ke and( stean , a,mre magmuCent aan to eu -n w Cvr made by anv cmarthily monarch.

After three days of I Ihrd strg il tl.jungeanu over the elds,t ridgAeI .ai li, of bristlig sco i, he arIived Car u'ns!t nt the scene of action. Al night long tie :tood s near to the growing pilla: C,C the veThemen t heat would alo .v, listening to the startilng explosim: and the awfnl ro.r of I the mnol1ten columtn, as it ra> hed u pwardls a( thousand feet, and fell back in a ti,ry ave lanche which made thC mountaIn tremble. It was sua: a scene as few m:or.aiS ever witness el. There wa.i no ,oLep for thte si.cctAt(r. The fierce, re( gla tl. snutero mut terings and strugglings, the r,-p;id explosior:s1 of gases, the rush and roar, the sudden and st.rtling bursts, a of crushing thiundcer-all, < all were are inspiring, and comlined to ren er the scene of il(dese: ihable briliancy 'id of terrisal uliminitv. The rivers of 1're from the f^untain flwed about thu-ty-fve miles, and stopped within ten miles of Hilo. 11ad the funaI ki.I played tenl dAys longer, it would probably nave reached the sl:ore. EcTivE AFPOiNTMENTS-T1F PRESUENT FI:I1\os TO lce:n: THE Pi:FERENcE - i th in a fed days past a great change is notice able in the unt ter of the Executive appOint ::ezits. Thc President seem to have reaLizel that Ilon ger forhearac ;Ce with the enemIlies of his d'ImlIinistration' and it. measures was - ork ing ratn iJust;ce to his friends, and to hav reaiz r R te potency (f the old iart axun that "t t!e vict)rs belong the spt)ils." As a consequence, the Radical', who nustered ef frunterv enough t call upon the President and scIt it ap: f:ttitments for their friencds, r e ceived little rewa? d fur teir la,ors, atnd were treated to a plain expositiion of hi; intentions fur the future. They were tod in langguge dcie ad unmistak:.L that Li; ft inds shuld have the p; eference, and that no known enemy of the a<hninistratibn policy should re . ceive the 'Pasi e(oXment if a Federal ap P'i nn t. In addition to this, the axe has iactulIV been set to work, and deanations ar now of daily occurrence. Its effects arC already vis1ible in the altered an l respectful d epor t~men't of mloreC than onl RaIdie:l oppo tncnt in both brach~ues of Congress.

But the work will o on. No one will be received by hollow pretences. Those oPiceblolders who have abused their positions to vilify the President and disrupjt the Rep ubl ican piarty will be 1nole1 to give way to better meno.
