Miss Clara Cleveland, who has just returned from the Hawaiian Islands, gives us the following description of the volcano as she saw it: ; . ; The volcano of Kilauea is situated~on the Island of Hawaii,’ thirty miles from Hilo, which distance we made over a lava rock trail, on horseback. ‘Two orthree miles of our journey was through a beautiful field of sugar-cane growing eight or ten feet high. Passing very rapidly through this belt of beauty, we reached the tropical forest just at sunrise. The ohia and kukui trie3 draped with long green ferns of every variety “. and the dense undergrowth of ieie vines, bird’s nests ferns and pulu combined to make a picture~ of surprising beauty. After leaving the woods, we came into an entirely different character of country ; rough, up and down, a few trees and scattered ferns. From here I saw that wonderful river of ‘fire that flowed from the summit of Mauna Loa in 1881. It flowed for fifty miles down toward Hilo, and its proud waves were stayed within three quarters of a mile of that town. It cut its way down through the forest and carried everything before it. Being of the consistency of thick mush and forcedby the’ awful pressure behind, no obstruction could be placed in its way. It looked strange when it . rolled\ up hill and pressed on in a straight line. After riding twentythree miles,we rested twenty minutes, ate our lunch, then remounted and proceeded on our 7-mile journey. We arrived at the Volcano House about noon, too tire to dismount without assistance. Che house is situated on the rim of the crater and is one of the kind that shuts out sight but not sound. Some funny experiences supposed to be told in confidence found a large audience. We soon learned that the ‘‘very walls have ears.’’? After resting ashort time, we went out and sat on the rin of the crater. The crater is situated on aspur of Mauna Loa, which is about 14,000 feet above sea-level. Looking down in the crater I was very much disappointed and surprised. Instea. of a mountain sending forth fire, smoke and lava, I saw a.great pit, nine miles in circumference, thc floor of which is a solid mass o. lava. At the farther end of thir floor could be seen three furnaces, surrounded by cliffs from whict. smoke issued and an occasiona: zleam of light came. We took : walk to the sulphur’banks, climbed down in the caves, and gol some specimens of crystallizec sulphur while it was still hot. strange that familiarity witl. even the greatest forces in nature makes them lose their terror. Returning to the house we hac supper, after which with lanterns, wraps, canes and a guide, we went down, down, over this almost perpendicular wall, 800. feet, ana stood on the floor of the crater. The area at the bottom is not x liquid mass, but for miles anc miles all around you there spreads a, scene of unearthly grandeur. The floor in places is so hot yot. can ecarcely walk over it. Lava oozes up through the fissures. You can light a match in any: 01 the cracks. We trudged alon, over. this uneven surface and at last stood on the verge of ‘‘New Lake,” which is about a mile ana a halfin circumference. We peered overthe edge. The center lay solid and black before us, but al: around the bounddty .beautifui fountains of blood-red fire wer¢ playing, sending their spray fiity feet into the air. _We were on the windward side or we could not have stood the heat. .We then paid our respects to “‘Little Beggar’ from which dense, sulphurous streams of steam and smoke were issuing; but as ‘‘fortune favors the brave”? the wind was in the right,direction and we got one glimpse into the beautiful, yet dangerous, well of sulphur. From here we went to Hale-maumau, the place of everlasting fire, of Hawaiian mytholony. This we found very active, Fascinated by the danger of the situation we did not move our eyes from this wonderful scene of activity for . about two hours. We then turned our faces homeward. Leaving the trail (which is merely a track defined by dry sulphur) we went to the recent lava flow and made some specimens. Tongues of fire were to be seen all*over the bed of the. crater plainly defining the course of the flow. I finally succeeded in getting on my cane ‘gome of the red-hot lava from which I had a coin .specimen made. In getting back to the trail, we had to cross some hot lava, It hissed and sputtered as the rain ‘fell upon it. We tripped ross it quickly, I assuse-yeu. ° cee eee: ogee = er seman ~ pry omenour journey home. LJ ‘The crust being but one and a halt inches thick, our shoes suffered from the near contact to the fiery flood. To walk over lava broken up into islands by cracks from six inches to a foot wide, from which steam is pouring, seems like tempting the Fates. But sufficiently long acquaintance with even such phenomena makes it seem tame. We found the trail and were soon at the foot of the mountain, where’ we found horses waiting totake us up the final slope. We reached the house at midnight physically exhausted by our day’s exertion, Hut well pleased with our view of Kilauea. Writing our names in the volcano book and settling with our host, we sought rest.’ At6 o’clock the next morning the house was in motion, making prepaations for At 7 o’clock we were all mounted and started forward. We rode very rapidly and took lunch in Hilo. Although we were ‘‘awful’’/tired from our volcano trip of sixty miles, made in a day anda half, we were sufficiently rested by) evening to. attend a social. ‘ These are not/the initial letters ofa new secret! association, but of a bright, wide-awake society of voys and girls. . It is the Chautauqua Young Folks Reading Union, and dates its ex'stence in Nevada City ircm the first of the presei.t month. . It hapseventeen names enrolled and includes the. members of the Agassiz Association, Nevada City, A. 131. More would be gladly welcomed if the society had a suitable place for a lerger number to meet. The plan was put in operation by a lady of thie city, who realized. the need of instructive as welll as pleasant reading for her own children. The society has a uniform course ‘of reading, regular exercises and test yuestions. The last hour of the meeting is devoted to Chatauqua songs and games,for “‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull ‘boy.” The society had its origin at the Chautauqua headquarters in New York, and during its short life many slips from the main vine have taken root and grown all wer the civilized world. This younger branch of the great chapter has the genuine Chatauqua spirit. ar The Best Piano. " The finest upright: pianos ever brought to Nevada City are on exhibition at Mr. Ott’s assaying office. The Behr'piano took first premium at the World’s Fair, New Orleans, also the first premium for the. best piano on exhibition at the California State Fair ast month. ‘These pianos can be bought on $10 monthly installments. Old organs or pianos taxen in exchange. Musicians. are nvited to call at Mr. Ott’s ofice and examine the Behr. 0232t Cleaning a Ditch. The, Auburn Republican says: [he water was.turned out of Bear river ditch last Saturday at Colfax and the ditch is being cleaned out or the first time in six years. A ‘orce of about fifty men, a part of whom are Chinamen, are now working—some of them near Colfax, and some just this side. of Newcastle. The ditch is well filled up and it will require three or four weeks to clean it. Two Crazy Men. John Monier, a woodchopper commonly known as “‘crazy Joe,”’ and Tim O’Connor,’a saloon keeper, both of Grass Valley, are insane and have been ordered taken to Stockton Asylum. Monier was formerly confined in the Asylum at Napa, and is believed to have escaped from that institution. ee Fashionable Dressmaking. Mrs. A.

After 13 Years of Wedded Bliss She Forsakes the Father of Her Children (Oakland Express of Tuesday.) The petition of P. Prefontaine for the custody of his two children was filed toduy in the county clerk’s office. The petition sets forth that on the 19th of November, 1871, Prefontaine was marince of Quebec, Canada, and lived with her until December 5th,/1884. Five children were born to them, their ages at the present time being respectively 18,10, 8, 6 and 3 years. On'the last date mentioned Prefontaine, who was then living with his family at Forest City, Sierra county, left his wife and children comfortably provided for and came to Oakland for the purpose of obtaining work and making anew home. It was the unhis wife that as soon as he should so request, his wife would sell with the children join him in Oakland. After his arrival here he found employment and sent for his three eldest children that they might be sent to school in this city. He also requested her to sell the Forest City property and join him with the two youngest children at the earliest possible moment. Mrs. Prefontaine, in accordance with the request, sent the three eldest children to Oakland and, sold the property, but instead of joining her husband went to live with another man named §S. R. Stephenson, at the Florence mine, taking with her the two children, Urbin and Alice. Prefontaine alleges that this separation is without cause as far a8 he is concerned and against his wishes. He therefore asks the court’ to award him the custody of the two children now living with their mother. 4 1 A Bright Magazine. The New Moon for. October is on our table. The editor seems to despise what he calls ‘‘slouchy proof-reading”’; and certainly the pages of the bright little magazine before us are a good specimen of the printer’s art. It is published by a company possessed of abundant eapital and energy, and the business-of the concern is conducted by men who know how to ‘‘push things.”” Good short stories, interesting selections, and bright editorials make up this number, and the whole get-up of the magazine seems to be ‘faultless. The subscription price is only $1.00 a year. The moral tone is e i y pure, and the editor boasts that not a dull line is allowed admission to. his pages. It is published by the New Moon Publishing Co., Lowell, Mass. A mrrrrmnt Pioneer Bookstore. Go to J. B. Tu.iy, (successor to Geo. W. Welch) for your School Books, Stationery, Music, Poems, Lovell and Seaside Libraries, Butterick Paper Patterns, Blank Books, Fashion Journals and -Periodicals of all kinds. Mr, Tully is prepared to fill all orders for School Books and School supplies at the shortest notice. A full supply of Legal Blanks always on hand. . Mr. Tully will keep everything that is usually carried in a first-class Stationery Store and at prices to suit the times, Give him a call. tf Enforcing the Fire Ordinance. Within the next few days Chief Engineer Eilerman of the Fire Department and Marshal Holbrook will begin their annual inspectién of buildings within the corporate limits for the purpose of seeing if there are any violations of fire ordinaces, and ifthere are any to have the same corrected. Engineer Eilerman requests us to call. the special attention of citizens to the. fact that chimneys should be cleaned this Fall before putting up heating stoves for _winter use. ©. ne, Of Course It Works Well. The Oroville Mercury of Monday says: ‘‘We visited. the Miovene mine ’ yesterday, and found it working splendidly. The elevator . is.a-success in every particular. The tailings are kept entirely under control, and there is no difficulty whatever in-confining them permanently within the mine.” ‘.Tuere is a lady stopping at Room 14, Union Hotel, who is a comes highly recommended, and brings with her testimonials from some of the most prominent citizens of this State.

A Mining Superintendent and His Son ‘(Stood Up.’”’ James Wales, foreman at the Pittsburg mine, and his nineteen year-old son left the mine at 5 o’clock Wednesday evening for home, riding in a two-wheeled cart. They had approached to within an eighth of a mile or less of the V Flume Company’s lumber yard at Town Talk when two medium sized men wearing black masks over their faces stepped out and ordered a halt, which order was complied with. One robber had a six or seven barrel revolver, the other had asingle barrel pistol. They took from Mr. Wales #60 worth of amalgam, which. was the result.of a few hours’ run at the mine, and belonged jointly to Mr. Wales, his son, the engineer and the company. Wales’ purse which contained 50 cents and the key, of the safe at the mine. Hetoldthem he would like to have thekey back, whereupon they returned the purse and its contents. The robbers then told their yictims to drive on, and the gentlemen lost no time in obeying.’ Yesterday morning some worn wrapped around their feets toS disguise their tracks were found near John Burns’ ranch on Gold Flat. Last week a clean-up: of $2,000 was taken from the mine to Grass Valley. The highwaymen doubtless expected that another one of equal size would be taken down Wednesday. Good Quartz Prospects. The-Marysville Democrat says: “There is ‘more interest taken in quartz mining in’ this State. recently than ever before. The foothills east of this city are coming into notice more prominently ‘than any other quartz region in the State, and from the very reason that we have the richest quartz leads. The hydraulic: miners can only find a channel! here and there where some portion of a quartz ledge has been worn to atoms, but our quartz ledges are comparatively inexhaustible. We anticipate a permanent advantage from sults necessarily following in the wake of hydraulic mining.” suppose'the Democrat thinks that the twelve or fifteen million. dolSawyer injunction, constituted some of the ‘‘evil results’? of the industry. ne Good Chance to Make Money. About the most practical and desirable invention in the house furniture line that has come to onr attention for along time, isthe foot-rest devised by A. Tam of this city. Mr. Tam’s other business connections have been of a nature to interfere with his placing the rests upon the market, where they would be-sure to meet with an extensive sale if properly introduced. He has therefore concluded to dispose in part. or whole of the right to manufacture and sell them. Tt is a first-class opportunity for an enterprising man with a limited capital to engage in a remunerative and pleasant business. Mr. Tam invites those interested to call upon him at his place of business on Pine street, this city, or if it is inconvenient for any to do so he would be pleased to hear from them by mail. 0c22-2t Ce You can buy a 714 octave piano, nearly new, a fine toned instrument, for $350; cost $450.

The ohia and kukui trie3 draped with long green ferns of every variety “. and the dense undergrowth of ieie vines, bird’s nests ferns and pulu combined to make a picture~ of surprising beauty. After leaving the woods, we came into an entirely different character of country ; rough, up and down, a few trees and scattered ferns. From here I saw that wonderful river of ‘fire that flowed from the summit of Mauna Loa in 1881. It flowed for fifty miles down toward Hilo, and its proud waves were stayed within three quarters of a mile of that town. It cut its way down through the forest and carried everything before it. Being of the consistency of thick mush and forcedby the’ awful pressure behind, no obstruction could be placed in its way. It looked strange when it . rolled\ up hill and pressed on in a straight line. After riding twentythree miles,we rested twenty minutes, ate our lunch, then remounted and proceeded on our 7-mile journey. We arrived at the Volcano House about noon, too tire to dismount without assistance. Che house is situated on the rim of the crater and is one of the kind that shuts out sight but not sound. Some funny experiences supposed to be told in confidence found a large audience. We soon learned that the ‘‘very walls have ears.’’? After resting ashort time, we went out and sat on the rin of the crater. The crater is situated on aspur of Mauna Loa, which is about 14,000 feet above sea-level. Looking down in the crater I was very much disappointed and surprised. Instea. of a mountain sending forth fire, smoke and lava, I saw a.great pit, nine miles in circumference, thc floor of which is a solid mass o. lava. At the farther end of thir floor could be seen three furnaces, surrounded by cliffs from whict. smoke issued and an occasiona: zleam of light came. We took : walk to the sulphur’banks, climbed down in the caves, and gol some specimens of crystallizec sulphur while it was still hot. strange that familiarity witl. even the greatest forces in nature makes them lose their terror. Returning to the house we hac supper, after which with lanterns, wraps, canes and a guide, we went down, down, over this almost perpendicular wall, 800. feet, ana stood on the floor of the crater. The area at the bottom is not x liquid mass, but for miles anc miles all around you there spreads a, scene of unearthly grandeur. The floor in places is so hot yot. can ecarcely walk over it. Lava oozes up through the fissures. You can light a match in any: 01 the cracks. We trudged alon, over. this uneven surface and at last stood on the verge of ‘‘New Lake,” which is about a mile ana a halfin circumference. We peered overthe edge. The center lay solid and black before us, but al: around the bounddty .beautifui fountains of blood-red fire wer¢ playing, sending their spray fiity feet into the air. _We were on the windward side or we could not have stood the heat. .We then paid our respects to “‘Little Beggar’ from which dense, sulphurous streams of steam and smoke were issuing; but as ‘‘fortune favors the brave”? the wind was in the right,direction and we got one glimpse into the beautiful, yet dangerous, well of sulphur. From here we went to Hale-maumau, the place of everlasting fire, of Hawaiian mytholony. This we found very active, Fascinated by the danger of the situation we did not move our eyes from this wonderful scene of activity for . about two hours. We then turned our faces homeward. Leaving the trail (which is merely a track defined by dry sulphur) we went to the recent lava flow and made some specimens. Tongues of fire were to be seen all*over the bed of the. crater plainly defining the course of the flow. I finally succeeded in getting on my cane ‘gome of the red-hot lava from which I had a coin .specimen made. In getting back to the trail, we had to cross some hot lava, It hissed and sputtered as the rain ‘fell upon it. We tripped ross it quickly, I assuse-yeu. ° cee eee: ogee = er seman ~ pry omenour journey home. LJ ‘The crust being but one and a halt inches thick, our shoes suffered from the near contact to the fiery flood. To walk over lava broken up into islands by cracks from six inches to a foot wide, from which steam is pouring, seems like tempting the Fates. But sufficiently long acquaintance with even such phenomena makes it seem tame. We found the trail and were soon at the foot of the mountain, where’ we found horses waiting totake us up the final slope. We reached the house at midnight physically exhausted by our day’s exertion, Hut well pleased with our view of Kilauea. Writing our names in the volcano book and settling with our host, we sought rest.’ At6 o’clock the next morning the house was in motion, making prepaations for At 7 o’clock we were all mounted and started forward.. We rode very rapidly and took lunch in Hilo. Although we were ‘‘awful’’/tired from our volcano trip of sixty miles, made in a day anda half, we were sufficiently rested by) evening to. attend a social. ‘ These are not/the initial letters ofa new secret! association, but of a bright, wide-awake society of voys and girls. . It is the Chautauqua Young Folks Reading Union, and dates its ex'stence in Nevada City ircm the first of the presei.t month. . It hapseventeen names enrolled and includes the. members of the Agassiz Association, Nevada City, A. 131. More would be gladly welcomed if the society had a suitable place for a lerger number to meet. The plan was put in operation by a lady of thie city, who realized. the need of instructive as welll as pleasant reading for her own children. The society has a uniform course ‘of reading, regular exercises and test yuestions. The last hour of the meeting is devoted to Chatauqua songs and games,for “‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull ‘boy.” The society had its origin at the Chautauqua headquarters in New York, and during its short life many slips from the main vine have taken root and grown all wer the civilized world. This younger branch of the great chapter has the genuine Chatauqua spirit. ar The Best Piano. " The finest upright: pianos ever brought to Nevada City are on exhibition at Mr. Ott’s assaying office.

Prefontaine for the custody of his two children was filed toduy in the county clerk’s office. The petition sets forth that on the 19th of November, 1871, Prefontaine was marince of Quebec, Canada, and lived with her until December 5th,/1884. Five children were born to them, their ages at the present time being respectively 18,10, 8, 6 and 3 years. On'the last date mentioned Prefontaine, who was then living with his family at Forest City, Sierra county, left his wife and children comfortably provided for and came to Oakland for the purpose of obtaining work and making anew home. It was the unhis wife that as soon as he should so request, his wife would sell with the children join him in Oakland. After his arrival here he found employment and sent for his three eldest children that they might be sent to school in this city. He also requested her to sell the Forest City property and join him with the two youngest children at the earliest possible moment. Mrs. Prefontaine, in accordance with the request, sent the three eldest children to Oakland and, sold the property, but instead of joining her husband went to live with another man named §S. R. Stephenson, at the Florence mine, taking with her the two children, Urbin and Alice. Prefontaine alleges that this separation is without cause as far a8 he is concerned and against his wishes. He therefore asks the court’ to award him the custody of the two children now living with their mother. 4 1 A Bright Magazine. The New Moon for. October is on our table. The editor seems to despise what he calls ‘‘slouchy proof-reading”’; and certainly the pages of the bright little magazine before us are a good specimen of the printer’s art. It is published by a company possessed of abundant eapital and energy, and the business-of the concern is conducted by men who know how to ‘‘push things.”” Good short stories, interesting selections, and bright editorials make up this number, and the whole get-up of the magazine seems to be ‘faultless. The subscription price is only $1.00 a year. The moral tone is e i y pure, and the editor boasts that not a dull line is allowed admission to. his pages. It is published by the New Moon Publishing Co., Lowell, Mass. A mrrrrmnt Pioneer Bookstore. Go to J. B. Tu.iy, (successor to Geo. W.

A Mining Superintendent and His Son ‘(Stood Up.’”’ James Wales, foreman at the Pittsburg mine, and his nineteen year-old son left the mine at 5 o’clock Wednesday evening for home, riding in a two-wheeled cart. They had approached to within an eighth of a mile or less of the V Flume Company’s lumber yard at Town Talk when two medium sized men wearing black masks over their faces stepped out and ordered a halt, which order was complied with. One robber had a six or seven barrel revolver, the other had asingle barrel pistol. They took from Mr. Wales #60 worth of amalgam, which. was the result.of a few hours’ run at the mine, and belonged jointly to Mr. Wales, his son, the engineer and the company. Wales’ purse which contained 50 cents and the key, of the safe at the mine. Hetoldthem he would like to have thekey back, whereupon they returned the purse and its contents. The robbers then told their yictims to drive on, and the gentlemen lost no time in obeying.’ Yesterday morning some worn wrapped around their feets toS disguise their tracks were found near John Burns’ ranch on Gold Flat. Last week a clean-up: of $2,000 was taken from the mine to Grass Valley. The highwaymen doubtless expected that another one of equal size would be taken down Wednesday. Good Quartz Prospects. The-Marysville Democrat says: “There is ‘more interest taken in quartz mining in’ this State. recently than ever before. The foothills east of this city are coming into notice more prominently ‘than any other quartz region in the State, and from the very reason that we have the richest quartz leads. The hydraulic: miners can only find a channel! here and there where some portion of a quartz ledge has been worn to atoms, but our quartz ledges are comparatively inexhaustible. We anticipate a permanent advantage from sults necessarily following in the wake of hydraulic mining.” suppose'the Democrat thinks that the twelve or fifteen million. dolSawyer injunction, constituted some of the ‘‘evil results’? of the industry. ne Good Chance to Make Money. About the most practical and desirable invention in the house furniture line that has come to onr attention for along time, isthe foot-rest devised by A. Tam of this city. Mr. Tam’s other business connections have been of a nature to interfere with his placing the rests upon the market, where they would be-sure to meet with an extensive sale if properly introduced. He has therefore concluded to dispose in part. or whole of the right to manufacture and sell them. Tt is a first-class opportunity for an enterprising man with a limited capital to engage in a remunerative and pleasant business. Mr. Tam invites those interested to call upon him at his place of business on Pine street, this city, or if it is inconvenient for any to do so he would be pleased to hear from them by mail. 0c22-2t Ce You can buy a 714 octave piano, nearly new, a fine toned instrument, for $350; cost $450.
