    THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1866.
The LnM Hmption of Mount Etna.
M. Fouqup, who vlaitod Sicily at the time or
the last eruption of Mount Huh, lias published
an inlerestiiii paper on the subject in tlie Jiccue
ConUwjm'Oine. D sav-j-
"Dunne; our Journey around Sicily the appear
ance of the eruption bad been considerably modi
fied. The lava, which Bcnind nearly stopped at
the m went ol our departure, ha t suddenly ao
quirt d new intensity a bom the middle of March.
In tbeco'irsc ot t wo da h an mormons btream ot
lava had tracrned the interval comprised be
tween the Due Monti and Jlouut Crismio, and
Ihcn pa.-s hk fchturd or that eminence, mil
dashed into a deep ravine in the direction ot
Linma firoma. It it lial continue. I no lor a
lew hours lonpcr, the fiery element would have
naturnlly j;ot into Hie mid si of vin-yaran and
houses hv meiely following the tdopn ot the soil.
Terror Man at its lii'igtituiiioiiirtlie people threat
ened wlin the ciitasiro'.ilie. They, beinsr ero-hlv
lBtioratit and rii (icrutit.oiiH, liiiarincd thut St.
iL'iia his, the patron of Piedmont, had turned
the gci.iirar upon Linniu-Grosna in order to nave
the commune ot which he was the protector.
The measure of expelling hi Imacre from the
rhapel Delia V'na was heimr seriously discussed,
llaii il been carried out it would inevitably have
led to a bloody colli-ion bet con too in'inrvi
tants of those two pi. ices; hut, lonunatcly, the
liery torrent suddenly stopped.
"Other streams were subsequently formed
higher up, and during our second stay at Mount
Etna tho Inva Invaded the whole space that had
hitherto been spared between Mount Frnmento
and Due Monti, leaving oplv here and there a
lew hillocks still coveted w Itii vegetation, like
islands in a wate. Tne eruptions ot lava, either
in a solid or liquid form, gradually abated.
Thus, hile at the outset stones elected tr im the
lowei crater rose into ; he air to the height of
eighteen bundled metres, that is, about torty
times the altif ude ol the column of the l'lace V'en
dome, towaros Iheendtt ey hardly rea''li the brim
of the crater: so that about the middle ot May I
could stand on its bigtiet-t crest and make trigo
nuirulrical survey.".
A Diop ot Ink.
Think of a Queen's tirst signature of a death
warrant, where tears tried to blanch the fatal
blackness ol the dooming ink; of a traitor's ad lie-
sion to a deed ol rebellion, written in gait; ot a
lorgcr'f. trembling imitation ot another's writings,
where each letter took the shape of the gallows;
ot a lover's passionate propos 1 written in Are;
of a proud girl's refusal written iu ice; of a
mother's dying expostulation with a wayward
son written in her heart's blooi; of an indignant
father's disinheriting curse on his lirt-born,
black with the lost color ot the grey hairs which
shall go down in sorrow to ihe crave think of
these i.nd all the o her impassioned writings to
which every hour give birth, and what a
btraugelv potent, Protean thing a drop of ink
grows to be All over the world it is d stilling
at the behest ol men. llre a despairing pri
soner is writing with a rusty natl'his uvinr con
lession ot luith on his dump dungeon wall. There
an anxious lover H deceiving a.l but his bridi
with an ink which only she knows how to ren
tier visible. Hele igitered soldiers in Indian forts
are confiding to tne perilous tecn-sy ot rice
water or innocent milk their own lives and the
fortunes of their country. Shipwrecked sailors,
tiDout to ne engui ed in mid ocean, are con-ugn
iiig to a floating bottle the taint pencil memo
randum of the fpot where they will swiftly go
down into tne jaws ol death. livery where nappy
pairs, dear husbands and wives, affectionate
brothers and r isters, and all the busy world, are
writing to each other on endless topics, willi
w batever paper comes to hand, whatever pen
whatever ink ! The varied stream thus forever
flowing is the intellectual and emotional blood
of the world, and no one need visit Ejypt, or
summon an eastern magician, to show him all
the acts, a'l the iovs and woes of men reflected
from the minor of a drop ot ink. .hacm Mart's
Magazine.
TnE Worst Punishment fob a On in a man.
A Chinaman recently Pent to the hulks, at Tou
Ion, France, for a murder committed in the
French possessions in Cochin-China, appeared
not to have had the sliahtest idea of the gravity
of nis position, having looked upon his coiuiem
nation and transportation 10 Europe as a means
of proving his devotedness to the religion of
Confucius; but he was painfully surprised, on
his arrival, to learn that his magnificent tail of
b air was to be cut oil'. To lose this appendage
is considered, in Ulnna, to be totally dishonored,
and he wa, ol course, most anxious to preserve
it. However, be was compelled to submit, but
the shock was too severe for him. as the mo
ment the scissors cut through the tuft of hair ho
fainted, and was obl'ged to be conveyed to the
nospitai.
Extraordinaey Suicide. A woman, about
thirty-five years of age, was found dead in a
back-vard, near the citv road, in London, on
the 8th instant, having strangled herself in a
most extraordinary majner. A police office,
who gave evidence at the inquest, said she had
fastened a piece of strine a Denny ball of thick
twine lound her neck. Sue had evidently held
with her left hand the end of the twine against
the lett side of ber neck, while with her right
hand she had wound the twine eighteen times
Tound lr?r neck. Every time that she twisted
the string round her throat she had pulled It
tight. When she was found dead the remains
of the ball of twine were in her right hand.
Population of London. The population ot
London has been estimated bv the Registrar
General at 3,054,940 on the 8th of April. 1867, five
years from the date of the last census. Of this
population 2,629,339 are within the metropoli
tan parliamentary boroughs, represented by
eighteen members in the House of Commons;
the remaining 425,001 persons are not within
the limits of any of the boroughs. The "metro
polis" ot the i?gistrar-(jeueral exteuds from
Fulhain to Plumbstead, and from llampstead to
Streathuru.
Singular Discovery. A singular discovery
lias been marie at live. England. While work
men were excavating for a drain they came
upon w Lat has proved to be the deck of a vessel
made of Erglish ftik, and of larger constitution
lhaii are built at that port in the present dav.
This appears to confirm the tradition that the
town whs at one period nearly surrounded by
the sea.
An Old Pone. At a recent sale of antiquities
at Chester, England, one of the lots was a well-
attested relic ot Miles Coverdale. the translator
of the first English Bible, consisting ot a silver-
mountea dox, containing a metacarpal bone ot
the right hand of the reformer, taken out of his
grave in Crlpplegate Church, London.
