The rnuovul luia indeed been unfortu

every thiotf, even though Ue do not chal

When JoUu brown, Queen Victoria's
late servant, whs in tbe lleab, tier partiality
to him was the subject of frequent com
ment. It was more than hinted that this
subject h?d too great an iulluenct over his
overeign. John Brown, being dead, con
tinaed to engage the British mind. Tbe

Brown on this side of the Atlantic, more
of a tigure than the Englishman, but lie
lmdn't the sweet privilege of living and
dying under a gracious sovereign.
Tiik money phase of the case in which
Count; Commissioner Stein figures is of the
least importance, though under the law
which be quotes his right to hold the mon
ey id not clear, lie is not an Overseer,and
king a member of the Hoard of Commis
sioners he can hardly be regarded as its
*?tnt. The greatest objection to the trans
action !'es agaiutit the mystery in which
Commiasicaer Stein envelopes it. If in
fants are to be smuggled into the County
lntirmary by a County Commissioner who
kiudly covers up the important matter of
/uentage, it :a easy to see that the county
is put in the immoral attitude of encourag
ing a looseuees of social relations not con
Native to the welfare of the community.

Tin: ant-machine or Keform Democracy

there, and will stay. Hamilton county ia
already won by the ltepublicane, so that
tie Reform Democrats can not fairly bo
?accused of placing their party ticket in
jtcpardy. They have merely asserted their
manhood and protested against the degra
foion of their party. It begins to look
u though Senator Pendleton wai a little
beforebanded when he declared that he
tal neither previous knowledge of nor
sympathy with the protesting movement.
I' it sliallappear that the protestanta reprt

Yellowstone National Paiik, W. T.t
August 14.?In my last letter you will re
member we bad tiuiahed up the "Norris
Geyser Basin." Next morning, after an early
breakfast, we set out afreali upon our jour
ney, and once more visited the "Norris
Geyi<er Uasin" on our way, stopping awhile
to take in again the wonderful scene. The
air being very frosty the steam condensed,
and it seemed as if we were in the "misty
mid region of Weir" that Poe describes in
"I'llalurae," where the "dark tarn of |
Auber" emitted such mephiticsmells. The
peculiarity and diversity of these number
less pools und springs is not less remarka
ble than the?r number. The water ii of
almost every color as are the crystalliza
tions from the water and steam. There
are mud fountains?as well as fountains of
purest ray serene?where in large pools
you will see a soapy foam overspreading
very muddy lookim: water, which is boiling
and seething with tremendous energy.
There are fountains where you will Bee all
the colors of the rainbow reflected, making
you feel as if you were in an enchanted
region where tne genii are mixing colors
for artisls.
After leaving the Norris basin our route
lay along the Gibbon river and in the
course of the forenoon jire passed through
the canyon wherein ore to be seen its fails
?eighty feet high?and its narrow rapids.
At the head of Gibbon canyon we came
into what is called the "Paint Pot" region
of the park?one of the most peculiar of
its many attractions. There are naid to be
500 mud and boiling spriogs in this locali
ty, which comprises several acres. These
mud pools seem to be in a chronic condi
tion of agitation and busily engaged in
blowing all sorts of mud curiosities into
the moetgrotesque shapes. Besides these
boiling mud fountains there are a great
number of char limpid springs and one of
the most beautiful emerald fountains to be
met wiili in the park is seen here.
Space would fail me to attempt to de
scribe to your readers the various springs,
pools, fountains and geysers to oe met
with on the road to what is called the
''Upper basin" where we made our princi
pal Halt in the geyser regions. There is
the "Monument"geyser basin, the"Lower"
geyser basin, the "Middle" basin and at
last the "Upper" basin. All have their pe
culiarities and attractions,but details would
weary your readers. While it is true that
almost every geyser has its own iudividu
ality yet of course there is a general same
ness in them all. To see one big geyser
throwing a column of water 150 to 175 feet
high, with a diameter of 'Jo to 30 feet, is to
see them ail throwing up at various heights
with various diameters,
OLD FAITHFUL.
Our first sight of a great geyser was at
the "Upper Basin," which we reached be
tween Ave and six o'clock ia the evening,
and where soon afterwards "Old Faiihfal,"
as it is called, went ofl wllh considerable
preliminary noise, not unlike the noise of
a great steamboat blowing oil' steam at her
water line, after which followed the grand
outburst and the shooting up of an immense
column of water 175 feet into ti e air. This
"Old Fsithful" does once every sixty-live
minutes on an average, and hence be is a
great favorite among visitors who are eager
to to see an eruption soon after their arri
val as u reward for their wearisome ride.
Then, too, there is the "Beehive" geyser,
which goes off every eight hours, and
throws up a larger ana higher column,last
ing fully live minutes, and making a pro
portionally greater roar. He, too, is a favo
rite.
At the "upper basin" we tarried over a
dav, resting in our tents and walking
around over the whole basin, inspecting
all the noted geysers and great pools. We
could stand by the base cf "Old Faithful"
and look down the basin for about four
miles along the valley of the iTirehole rivor
and we could see the steam going up here
and there like the "smokeol their torment"
a score or more cf principal geysers,
some ?il them having craters 10 feet high,
others havlnssimply a great orifice in the
lava beds. Go which way you will down
the valley, to the one side or the other of
Kirehole river, ibrougljuutthis basin of four
eiiuare miles, and you BOQje upon one of
these geysers or upon aornn great fountain
or pool of boiling and bubbling water. The
whole basin is full of them and hot water
runs tlown over the ledges stall points into
the river, so raisiog the temperature of Its
waters mat no species of auimal life can
exist in that stream. At one place cloee
beside the bankB where a fonntuln ran in
we bathed in the waters of the "Firehole,"
and while close to the shore the wati r was
so hot that we could not bear it yet .1 feet
further out it was cool enough?so cool that
we were glad to keep a? near the hot water
line as poisible.
HUU'llCIt MOUNTAIN.
After having done the geyst r basins suf
ficiently, we set out for the great falls of
the Yellowstone, forty miles distant, going
through over the mountains and utreams
by a sort of forced march lit one day, rest
ing at noon (or an hour in (li-- shade by
the side of a mountain brook to oat our
lnneh find let our hordes gram at the end
of their rupee pn the rich Dull do grass.
Our route took in til? famous Sulphur
mountain and spriag, objects of great curi
osity to our party. The mountain, as it is
called, is a pyramid along side of thr.sprlsg,
about seventy live feet higli, and Is a de
posit of sulphur, Bom? of it as appirentlv
pure brimstone as ever jo i taw it it) p roll
of sulphur. The spring or pool isa yery
large one and is in a tremendous state of
agitation, its waters boiling furiously and
throwing themselvei out convulsively over
the sulphurous lava beds all around. As
one of the party remarked, "if the devil is
not at the bottom of th's pool 1 don't know
where you would go to look for him."
Passing On we reached the falls of the
Yellowstone just bofore sundown, every
body quite |iued with their long rid* and
unite willing to omit a visit to the f*|la un
til the next morning. A lew of the brethren
who bad brought rods, reels and files ?1th
tljetn rushed down to the rapids antj hook
ed a ('? #ae specimens of tront. And thus
(he adventures of the day end. d.
jvtf'vnext morning, kf .r h^u)tlja',we
mounted our horses and f jllowlng the tend
nf "Jackson", our faithful and intelligent
gulile, we wound along the mountain pith
ell route to the lulls and tn I lift great can
yon of the Yellows one. first *fi halted at
the upper cataract and disnwnntini from
our steeds wa ked to an overhanging ledge
of i-cks and saw the water ruslilig and
(coping over ? precipice 105 fad high.
Next we pafseil on down to the lower falls,
anil again dismounting t'eacendcd by a
narrow and s'eep pith to the very brink,
where a platform lor proteaiou had b?en
erected, on which we stood and gs??d In
astonishment at the (treat leap of the water*
over the falls to an abyss 300 teet below.
an *wx-is3Pikiso srasa.
It wae an awo inspiring sight, and some
how the wildnecs of tha wens all around,
and the presence of the great, ilasp and
narrow canyon below, through which the
waters threaded on their way between
walls of rock at apparently no greater
width than Wheeling creek, invested the
spot with a tragic character more pro*
nounced than one is apt to feel at Niagara.
Here on the great Rocky Mountains, in a
wild and lone spot, we saw the greatest
and grandest of the tributaries of the
Missouri, the beautiful Yellowstone, hurry
ing on its way, impatient of distance' and
shortening its course by these tremendous
leapa in search of a lower level.
After gazing at this fascinatine scene for
an hour our party of horsemen gradually
and as beat as they could, plimbed the long
and ateep mountain path,pulling and blow
ing at every step, until ouce more they
were on the brow of the canyon, and then
remounting they rode on down through t he
pines and firs until they gaiued a ledge
that stood out prominently oyer the gorge
and afforded a line opportunity for a good
view up and down this deep and tortuous
ravine. We had with ua Arthur Brown, a
well known English water color painter,
and a member of the Roval Society of
Artists, who had come over on purpose to
sketch scenes in the Yellowstone Park, tie
Wtta perfectly enchanted with the scene be
fore him, and said that no where on earth
that he knew of could another such sight
he witnessed, llo spoke of the tout ensem
ble, the falia, the crags, the canyon and the
diversity and riohneesof the coloring.

Ciowds of curiosity seekers gathered to
day on the wharf in front of the spot where
the Kiverdale sank yesterday, aud watched
the boats plying around the wreck, pickiug
up whatever lloated. No bodies have been
found since yesterday and the belief
strengthens that there are noue in tho
wreck, except only two or three. The list
of the missing is being gradually thinned
out as those supposed to have gone down
on the steamer or who were really passen
gers are heard from as safe in this city or
at their homes up the river. The full ex
tent of the calamity has been stated, lhe
wreck will be taken to Jersey Flats whero
search can be made for more bodies il any
are there. The three injured men are doing
well in the hospital. R<jV. llowell Gardner

Atlantic City, N. J., August 2U.?There
is not a place on our beach front that has
not been damaged some by the heavy tide
and surf to-day. The total loss will not
be less than $50,000. Long before high
water, wnich was at G o'clock, the board
walk began to wash away by the
high water. Along the centre of
the city was a mass ?of debri*.
Bath houses, restaurants, photograph gal
leries and stores with dwellings attached,
which were built so far from the surf it was
thought no sea could reach them, were
undermined and carried bodily into
the ocean and beaten by the
waves into fragments. The tide
has fallen a little though and great
anxiety is felt about the next high water,
as the wind is from the northeast,is no-eas
ing. aud should it continue until higher
water tomorrow the damage will be more
than double of that of to day. The surf
was the heaviest ever seen here,

Cincinnati, August 2l>.?Judge Hoadly
has been contlned to his homo on Eibt
Waluut Hills for a week by a malarial at
tack. The anxieties of the cunvass have
been trying to him, but there is no good
ground for the report, that he has been
broken down physically, lie is capable of
a great amouut of labor, and could proba
bly speak every night during the campaign
without great fatigue. His trouble lies iu
his sensitiveness. Ho feels keenly what is
Baid about him. Although very ambitious,
and in spite *of the fact that his plans all
depend u]>on success in the present con
teat, he has been so affected by the asuauus
ul Republicans and the eoldueaa of
Democrats that he has. wore thau
once impulsively declared that he
would withdtaw from the contest.
These tils of diecourugementhave caused
anxiety to his friends, became of the dan
ger that the Judge, when feoling that way,
will say something within the hearing of
Borne one who will circulate it, and there
by greatly damage his cauvass. A cor
respondent hue been informed that on one
occasion when 'he Judge was particularly
restive, a message wus dispatched by his
immediate frienus to Mr. Tildeu to explaiu
to him how tho Judge was feeling, and
bring back a message of encouragement
from the Sage, aud his pergonal request
thai Judge t loudly should dismiss thoughts
of retiring from thb contest. This your
correspondent has from a yeutieman who
Baya he had talked with the messenger.
Hoadly holds Tildt-n in the highest vener
ation, and since this little ruse to remind
him of Tilden's interest in his canvass he
is said to have ceased his talk of withdraw*
iug. It is a little singular that this should
have occurred just at the time of serious
demands withiu his party that he be re
moved from the ticket.

Coluudus, August 21).?Senator Pendle
on came to Columbus for the purpose 0/ j
nspecting his fences, the recent tornado in
jineinnati haying JeU them in p decidedly
tad condition in Southern Ohio.
The Senator now for the first time visits
Jolutnbus since the memorable Democratic
state Convention. He came then as the
'riend of the recreant Iloadly, and it was
diiefly through the influence of Mr. Pen* I
ileton that thp na#ie of George Hoadly
itauds at the head of the Jjemotyatiu fcjtate ,
iefcet. Two iponihs since the same men
vho are now booming t|jo Ppipocratic can- ,
lidate for Governor were then piling abuce '
ipon his head and denouncing his
nethods, openly charging that he
vas engaged in buying up dele- j

0 secure his nomination. Mr. Pendletou ;

I'endleton now looks very much like a gen* ?
lemau that had learned some very un
pleasant truths. He is in possession of news,
A facts which Judge Thurman learned in |
I&3Q. namely. that Judge Hoadly had sold 1
nip out at Cincinnati, kittle did Mf. J'eu
lletou imagine that a nuiu whose cuuae he
Aas pharn pionjng woufil surrender to his

the terms of capitulation should also iu- ,

luch is the case. And after such an txhi- ]
jition of political treachery it can haidly ,
ae regarded at all strange that the party to

A reporter callpd on Senator pendjeton

A Reduction ol' Wage* Armniieil-llmr
11 AIIVrlM Workmen.
Chicago, August 21).?The Western Win
dow Glass Manufacturers' Association held
a session to-day to tlually determine upon
n scale of wages to bo paid employes. All
tho leading manufacturers were represent
ed. The Committee on Wa
ges reported the following acale of
wages which is the same submitted
by them to the workmen at tho recent con
ference in Pittsburgh. For blowing, 10
per cent reduction on the present Hat I jr
single strength and 20 per cent reduction
Dn double strength. X^or gathering. U5 per
cent of the blowers' wages for single, and
52} to 55 per centon double strength.
By this reduction of the schedule, ac
cording to the manufacturers, single
strength blowers will make $100 to $115
per month, and double strength blowers
?150 and upwards. Sirgle strength tend
ing bus will make $70 per month, and
double' irtrength will make $100 per
month, and llitteners, double Btrength
8125. The manufacturers assert this makes
i total reduction of 5 per cent, which they
claim has been offset by changes in the
tariff. This is claimed to be the ultimatum
?jl tiie mannf ictureri, and that 70 per cent,
of all in the country ha?e pledged them
selves uneomprolnisiiiglv to abide by it.
Manufacturer all declare that they look
lor a long fight, but expect to win in the
?nd. They further assert that the union of
workers in glais is one of the strongest in
thecountry, but has grown arbitrary and
dictatorial to a degree where they are com

London, August -'J.?A d is hatch fron
Batavia, Java, says the towns ol ADj?r,
Tjiringene and Tolokobelong were destroy
ed by volcanic eruptions. All the lighl
houses in Suuda Straits have disappeared,
and where the mountain of Kramatia for
tnerly stood the sea now flows. The aspect
of Suuda Straits is much changed and nav
igation is dangerous. The tidal wave com
pletely destroyed Aujer. Many persona
were killed, and the loss of life at North
Bantam is enormous.
The latest advices show that the volcanic
eructions in this island are much more
serious than at first indicated. The dis
turbances begun on the island of Krakatra,
in the Strait of Sundu, about fifteen miles
off tbe coast of Java. The deep rumblings
were distinctly audible at Surakerta and
Batavia, about forty flyo and twenty
two miles off respectively. little
alarm was felt at lirat, but within a few
hours showers of htones began to fall at
Joukjokerta, .Surabaya and Z*rang. All
through the night showers of red-hot rocks
and asbes fell, making complete darkness
in these towns. In B.itavia there was an
occasional fail, and it was difficult to keep
the street lights burning in the European
quarter.
TIDAL waves.
On Sunday morning the disturbances
1ml extended beneath the waters of the
Strait, and they were soon boiling and
hissing violently, whilo great waves dashed
upon the Javanese share?, and the temper
ature of the eea went up nearly 'JO degrees.
Even as lar away from the original point
of disturbance as Madura the furious
waves were lashed into mountains of foam j
as the^ came rolling iu. The threatening
rumblings gradually became more and,
more distinct, and by noon the Malta Meru,
the largest of the volcanoes of Java was
belching forth flames at a very alarming
rate. In is eruption soou spread to the
UunungTengger, (the crater of which is
the largest in the world, being nearly four
miles in diameter, the Uunung Ciuntur,
and may other minor mountains until
more than a third of the forty-five craters
of Java were either iu active.eruption or
seriously threatening it.
VOMITING DEATH ANI) DESOLATION.
Just before dusk a ureal luiuiuous cloud
formed over tbe ^nung Guntur, and ttie
crater of that vo?no began lo vomit up
enormous streams of white acid and sul
phurous mud, besides smalltr quantities of
lava. There were rapi lly successive ex
plosions, followed by irumendous showers
of cinders and enormous fragments, which
were hurled high into the air and scattered
in all directions, to fall, after the force was
spent, upon the vallbys below, carrying
death and destruciion.
Men, women and children rushed in ter
ror from their totteriug dwelling-places,]
tilling the air with their shrieks ot horror.:
Hundreds were unable to get out before
the houses fell, and were buried beneath
the great intsi ol rocks and mud which
were piled up where a few hours before all
had been peace, happiness and fancied se
curity.
THE Itu.suISO WATEIUi.
As the eruptions increased in frequency
and violence the disturbance of the waters
surrounding the barren coast become more
and more violent. Here waves ruthed in
territic force up the steep, rocky incline,
breaking upon the overhanging crags and
receding rapidly leaving a lava flow cooled
just at the moment when it was about to
tall over a precipice, and then remaining,
quickly burdened by contact with
tne waters and forming a distinct
6trata of black and * bright red,
purplo and browu all thrown about in
eccentric masses, while hujje peaks
of basalt rose at frequent intervals. There
the waves came roiling over a marshy
plain along the shore, suddenly engullinga
hamlet ol fishermen's rude housts, .and
turning suddenly back swept away almost
every vestige of what had a moment before
been a scene of bustling activity where
family after family had been rushing
around iuu vftin endeavor to eave their ef
fects fr?m the awlul combination ot ele
ments threatening them.
KEA11KUL DESTRUCTION OF LIKE.
At the entrance of Batavia was a large
group of housts extending along the shore,
and occupied by Chinamen. This part of
the city was entirely swept awpy, and of
the Si,000 Chinese who lived on this
swampy plain, it is hardly probable that
more that 5,000 munaged to save their
lives. They stuck to their homes until the
waves that washed them away came, fear
ing the torrents of flame and Java of the
interior more than the torrents of water
from the exterior.
Tbe population of Europeans and Amer
icans in lUtavia suffered a loss ot per.
hai'H ?00 souls out of 35,000 whites
living there. At Anger the Euro
pean aud American quarter was tirst
overwhelmed by rocks, mud and lava from
flie craters, and then the waters came up
and swallowed the ruins, leaving nothing to
mark the site, and causiug the Ipb* of some
where in tlio neighborhood of 2,000 lives of
the inhabitants ?i)d thcai who had tried to
flnd'a refuge there.
Since noon yesterday everything is quiet,
Bky clear and communication with Sarong
restored. The temperature fell ten degrees
Monday, but is now normal. The town is
covered with a thin layer of ashes, which
was so hot when falling that it killed birds.
Telegraph linemen report that while impair
ing the liue near ^nier early Monday they
saw a high column ol Eca approaching with
a roaring noise. They Hid without learn*
ing the fate of the inhaljitiqjtf. The quar
ries of tferafc b*vo disappeared aud all tbe
people of the place have perished.
A He I of Yiilctitatft.
Java and the adjoining islands ot the
Indian Archipelago may be termed a nest
of volcanoes, all of which are in a constant
Btate of activity. Earthquakes and erup
tions are, consequently, of frequent occur
rence in that lively portiou ot' the globe.
In 1571 there were sixteen distinct earth
quakes rrgistered throughout the Island.
In 184:$ Mount Gunter flunj? forth ashes
and sand to the extent of 30,000,000 tons*,
by the great eruption oi Mount C^alung
gung in 1822 no fewer than JH villages
were laid waste, and J,000 persons destroy
ed: in lfcUr an earthquake caused thp death
of 1,000 people of the town of Jot|*karia
alone; in 1871 the eruption of Merapi, one
of the most active of the sixteen oriucipal
volcanoes proved fatal to thousands ol the
inhabitauts of Kadu.
KTIIASOE VOLCANIC FOItMH.
Besides the volcanoes themselves, there
are a number of striking forms of volcanic
activity to be observed ou the islands, such
ss the so called mad volcano at {j'oboyan,
the gas fountain* of holy flres of Melati
Herat, and the fakaramau or Guiva Upas
(Valley of Poison). Hot springs are *bun
d*nu There is not a region ip the world
can boast of so many volcanic eminences.
Serang is the principal town of the resi
dency of Hautam. It is only one hundred
-I feet above the sea level. Anjer lies on the
const at the narrowest part of tlie Sunda
Straits and vessels from Europe usually re
h ceive fresh provisions and water there.
Cheribon (Tjeribon) is one of the most im
portant places in Java aud is the residence
of the descendants of the old Sultan. The
regent's residence is the principal building
in the town.
> volcanic ISLANDS.
i Krakatoa, or as it is sometimes called
? Orockatos, is a volcanic island at the mouth
t of the Straits of Sunda. Us shores are wash
, ed by the waters of the Indian Ocean, It
? is situated in latitude G degrees 1) minutes
. south and longitude 105 degrees 29 minutes
? east. The island is about six or seven
? miles long and about four or fivo miles
i broad. The Dutch government have estab
lished a signal station or fort on it, but it is
not inhabited otherwise. To the northwest
of Krakatoa is a small nameless Island,
i and to the east is a, similar one. Both are
i very close to tho larger island. ? Directly
north oi Krakatoa and near the coast of
Sumatra are two other volcanic islunds,
railed the Lebockeaud tbeSehesie Islands.
They ars smaller than Krakatoa and are
uninhabited.
Sumatra is the most northwesterly of the
Sunda Islands, of the Malay Archipelago,
and next to Borneo and New Guinea the
largest in the Eastern Bees. It has a popu
lation of 3 000,000, moaDy Malaya. Its
products are tropical fruits, spices, coffee
and scented woods. The island is divided
into a number of native States. Part of
the island is under the supremacy of the
Dutch.

Washincitos, D. U, August 29,-General
Dumont, Supervising Inspector General of
Steam Vessels, in an interview to day on
the Biyetdale disaster, expressed the
opinion lhat a radical change in
tbe law prescribing tho method of
investigalingsiicb caaqalltiea was needed.
Under the present Vstem. he said, the
local inspector virtually investigates his
own official conduct, for when an Investi
gation of an explosion is needed
it is made by the inspector who
examined the vessel at its last in
?paction. So also; if there is
a collision, caused by the Inefficiency oi
pilots or masiers, Ibe inspector who grant
ed such pilot or master his panem is called
upon to investigate the circumstances at
tending the collision.
Secretary Dumont lias recomtnendtd ??
the Secretary of the Treasury that the law
governing such inyestlgatlons bo changed
BO as to provide for courts of inquiry con
sisting of three supervising inspectors of
districts, who shall investigate the acts of
the local inspectors in granting licensea to
officers and in inspecting steam
vessels, instead of allowing such inveati
rations to hp made by the local Inspector
himself, lie further reoomuiends the law
Shall also, be made to provide lor the re

But iarn satistitd that in order to defeat

There are, however, personal reasons
