Mr. juies lavemier nas naa a very fine painting of the volcano on exhibition for some time past, in his studio, in the Spreckels' block, Fort street. It is the largest and by far the most striking picture the clever artist has yet painted of the terribly grand and weird scene he has became so famous in portraying. The picture takes in the whole crater, with Halemaumau in the center and the New Lake of fire on the left. The cracks and fissures in the undulating lava floor of the crater are marked by the dense glow of burning fire underneath, and across this uncertain and "uncanny" footing a party of tourists appear wending their way to get a nearer view of Halemaumau and the other attractions of the volcano. The top of the great crater, - jagged and broken, is brought out with much dis tinctness, and it is refreshing in the pres ence of such a scene of fiery desolation for the eye to rest in the foreground upon the soft verdure of fern and moss, glisten ing in the rays of the rising sun, while in the distance, on the right of the picture, the graceful slope of Maunaloa, also shining in the morning sun.somewhat abates the savage grandeur of the central plane. The effect of this picture as a whole is simply astounding. As one looks at the wonderful effect of color in this superb work of art it Is easy to imagine a glow of heat coming from the canvas, lne picture is true to nature in color, grouping and details, and conveys more perfect idea of the crater of Kilauea, as it is seen by daily visitors, than any other one extant. There is also a boldness of conception and a mastery of details in this work not to be found in any of Tavernier's own previous pictures, remarkable as each of these unquestion ably was in many respects. Mr. C. A. Spreckels will take the large picture to San Francisco, where it will be placed on exhibition ; and Mr. Merton R. Cotes has had another picture, precisely similar in all respects to the large one, painted for himself. This he takes with him to London, where, we have no doubt, it will attract the attention of art connoisseurs. rast eight's Show. There was a fair audience at the circus last night to witness the second perform ance. The excellent programme was fully carried out, and there was a decided lniDrOVPmPnf in tlir mnoJ Tl. M.

They perform the most difficult feats with ease. The clown keeps his audience in good humor through out the evening. There is something fascinating in watching the ponies, goats and dogs go through their wonderful per formance, and it leads one to think of the ccreat amount ot ratienoe Mr. Frvpr must have exercised to bring them to sucn a siate oi penection. The troupe appear again this afternoon at 2 o'clock, ana an me evening at s o'clock. The Bev. Oliver P. Emerson, after enjoy ing a short vacation among his relations here, returns to the East to-day by the Mariposa.

Torbert, charged with larceny, was resumed in the Police Court yesterday morning. After the de fendant had been recalled, his counsel, Mr. Kinney made his closing argument. He reviewed the evidence at great length, and made an earnest appeal for his client. Deputy Marshal Dayton went over the chief points of the prosecu tion, after which His Honor said the case was one of great importance at this moment to the defendant Torbert. He was well known to the community, and had associated with leading people here, and the question was whether that posi tion was to be eternally damned, as it were. If guilty, he will be a felon. He would not be doing justice to the Crown to give a hasty judgment. The matter was in his jurisdiction, and left now to him entirely. He should carefully weigh and analyze the evidence. There had been a great deal of outside talk, which the Court could not help hearing, but that would be entirely ignored in giving judgment in this case. He would take the matter under consideration, and render judgment this morning at 5) o'clock. Aloba NttI, Mr. and Mrs. Merton R. Cotes, who have been sojourning on these Islands since July 5th, leave by tbe steamer Mariposa to-day. In paying a visit to the volcano, Mrs. Cotes unfortunately met with an accident which has almost confined her to her room ever since, and it will be some time before she is fully recovered. Mr. Cotes has not been idle, however, for there is scarcely anything on the Islands he has not seen, and he carries with him many souvenirs to re mind him of his visit, prominent among which is a fine oil painting of the crater of Kilauea, by Tavernier. The Adver tiser wishes them a pleasant voyage and safe return to their home at Bourne mouth, England. Accidentally Shot. On Thursday evening about half-past 7 o'clock, on Hotel street, a Chinaman by the name of Ah Saw was accidentally shot. It appears that another man, Ah Chai, had a pistol and was examining it, when it suddenly went off. The ball passed through a board fence and also through a partition into a room where Ah Saw was sitting on the bed, and en tered his left hip, penetrating about three inches. A Chinese doctor was called, but be was unable to extract the ball. Other medical assistance was called in yesterday morning, with the same result. A Royal Breakfast, Yesterday morning His Majesty the King gave a breakfast at Tolani Palace in honor of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Spreckels. Those present, in addition to the Royal host and his guests, were Her Majesty Queen Kapiolani, H. R. H. Princess Liliuokalani, H. R, H. Princess Likelike, Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, Acting Governor ; Hon. Sam Parker and Mrs. Parker, Miss Lily Dore, Miss Ailene Ivers, Mr. Wm. G. Irwin, Captain H. M. Hayward and Colonel E. W. Purvis, Vice Chamberlain. No band concert at Emma Square this afternoon. Mr, C, Engelbardt, for several years con nected with Ur, Sjmnel Nott, leaves by the Hariposa to-day for a trip to the Coast. During his stay m that city he will select a fine stock of stoves and bouse furnishing goods, which he will open on his return in the store lately occupied by Mr. Nott. Mr. Engelhardt expects to spend a few days with his old employer at his fruit rD$h at Los atoi. The Way He Received Subscriptions for "The Weekly Tribune." St. Louis Republican. "Well, well, here is a volume that is be coming quite rare these days, " exclaimed a Dook-worm in a second hand book store the other day as his eye fell on a worn and musty tome. " What I Know About Farming:. " u Well, everybody knows that is the book written by Horace Greeley way back in the '60's. Perhaps the rising gen eration may be Texcepted, as the book i3 now out of print and will be a curiosity in a half score years hence. At one time it was pretty extensively read. It is difficult to say, however, that much or any benefit was derived from its perusal. M l'es, " re torted the Dartv addressed "Horace was a great man in his time. It is not so very long since he has entered eternity, yet his name is now hardly ewr mentioned. It was ever thus. Man's deeds, be they good or Dad, they do not remain lone: iresh after the author is gone. Occasionally a flash of his wit is repeated, a line from his sayings is borrowed, but it does not in duce posterity in the least in remember ing, much less in reverencing his mem ory. "During the forty odd years that Hor ace edited The Tribune, every editorial, every farm article, every news item, every commercial paragraph, and every advertisement which appeared in the paper was credited to nim oy many ot his readers and admirers. People forgot, or did not take the time to think, that it was a physical impossibility for the pro lific and versatile Horace to write even half of the editorials that appeared, while his disquisitions on 'How to Plant Squashes,' 'How to Raise Cucumbers,' or How to Destroy the Festive Beetle,1 were not so very numerous, urceiey. when writiDg about agriculture, always gave the 'How' part much prominence. " l ou seem to De well posted cn Hor ace, " remarked tne Dooic-worm oy way oi comment to the second gentleman. Why, yes; I must confess that I know a great deal about the philosopher.

If you have the time I can relate an inci dent about old Horace that has never been printed It was just previous to the war and when Horace was an amateur farmer that the event I am about to relate oc curred. One day a letter came to the office bearing the following cabalistic letters: H O. N. Y. This is all that was on the envelope except the postmark, which showed that the letter, came from Law rence, Kan. I call it a letter, but it was not a letter, for on opening the envelope not a scrap of paper was found inside, only a crumpled $1 note from some Ohio bank. "In those days letters were sometimes not prepaid, and this was not; conse quently a due-bill was attached to the missive showing that the sum of 3 cents was to be collected. Mr. Greeley promptly paid the 3 cents. Who could be the sender. It puzzled the philosopher just a little only. 'Such doings can only be placed to the credit of Bill Reynolds mused Mr. Greeley. ' 'Bill always had idiosyncrasies, and when he had a truck farm out in Orange county would call, and not finding me in the sanctum would place a dollar bill for his subscription un der a paper-weight on my desk and leave. Bill told me he was going out west to try his 'luck "The paper was mailed ta William Reynolds, Lawrence, Kan., according to Mr. G.'s direction, and upon investigation it was found that Greeley's surmise was correct. Bill Reynolds was the right party. In those good old times we did not have so many railroads nor fast -mail trains and the like, but a man could mail a letter without a stamp and put only four letters on the envelope and it would reach its destination. Try this experi ment now and your letter will go direct to the dead-letter office. Too much red tape, " sighed the typo as he reached for a volume cn a high shelf bearing the title: MIs Life Worth Living For?
