The frightful disaster at the beau tiful Island of lschia the Jschia sung of in Buchanan Read's Itimi- nous and dreamy "LJntting may be onlv the forerunner of catastrophes paitallv terrific. There is no forctell- what Vesuvius now may uo. Eleven 'ears ago a series of earth quakes preceded the eruption of 1872. Alter another decade Vesuvius com mences to show signs of eruptive paroxysm again ; atid it is possible that the earthquake which destroyed three thousand lives, may herald another outbreak accompanied by the usual sublime and awful phenomena of many colored lightnings, pillars of fire and of darkness, cataracts of mol ten rock, etc. Although it is true that earth quakes occasionally occur in regions that have long ceased to be seats ot volcanic action, and that upheavals or depressions ot strata take place at vast distances from volcanic centres, it is indubitable that the vast majori ty of earthquakes have not only oc- tion of the Town of Torre del Greco.

W hen a violent and tern he earthquake like that of lschia, occurs n close proximity to Vesuvius, the scientific inference is that Vesuvius is preparing to deluge the vicinity with lava. It has clearly been established that by a careful study of the superficial effects of earthquake vibrations, the point at which the shock originated may be determined, and that earth quake shocks never originate at a greater depth than 30 miles below the earth s giirrace. lhc nature of the lschia outbreak indicates that the i . i i. a a a origin ot the shock must ne sought near the surlace, and probably in those great lava reservoirs supplying Vesuvius. The destruction of Chio preceded the recent disturbances in TStna ; and although Chio is situated at a far greater distance from Thtua than lschia Irom Vesuvius, it is probable the phenomena had their birth in similar underground disturbances. But the subsequent agitation of JEtna and the neighboring volcanoes was slight1. It may therefore be hoped that Vesuvius will not display more violent activity than the Sicilian giant, although there is good reason to dread tire contrary. Naples is bill five miles from Vesu vius : and when Vesuvius opened ner great, mouiu in the roar was so awful that the inhabitants of that city left their houses aud spent the night trembling in the open air. How far the destructi ve power of the volcano extends is difficult to say ; out the Uriel hve miles separating the city of 400,000 souls from the Oiquntaiu is not a guarantee of safety. One reniarkable thing regarding eartuquakesUocks preceding tremeud- ous eruptions is that an interval of years sometimes intervenes between the earthquake and the definitive ca tastrophe. J he shock appears to be a warning. Thus both Herculancum and Pompeii were nearly destroyed bv an earthquake in A. D. 63 : but the great eruption which buried them i i . i . was posiponeu until sixteen years later A. 1). 71). Lesser earthquakes accompanied the bursting of the lava. lschia has always been famous - i however, for earthquakes. Its ancient name was iEnaria, and its origin vol canic. Quite a number of scientific works have been written about its natural phenomena. It was first colo nized by Greeks from Chalcis and else were, who established a flourish ing colony; but they were driven from the Island by earthquakes. A volcano arose in the center of JE.iaria, and part of the land sank into the sea. Hiero, tyrant of Syracuse, next established a colony there; aud again the colonist were driven away by earthquakes. It then became a de pendency of Neapolis (the modern Naples,) and no great catastrophe oc curred for years, but slight earth quakes continued, and the volcanic phenomena of the Island deterred settlers from establishing themselves there. It was not until modern times that it btcame populous and prosper ous. Before the catastrophe its popu lation was about 25,000 not inclu ding pleasure seckors and it had two considerable towns lschia and Foria. As it is only about 15 miles in circumference this population was quite large. It is situated about b miles from the mainland ; and ap pears to have been originally created by the same enormous subterranean upheaval that gave birth to Vesuvius. Islands of this character, especially when situated in proximity to an ac tive volcano, seem peculiarly liable to the late ot Atlantis. Prof. Palmieri's declaration that the catastrophe was not due to a true earthquake vibration, but to a subsi dence of the ground, cannot excite much doubt as to the couuection of mc uuirvr wiin suoterranean volcanic agency.

The centre of the shock was the same as that of two years ago, but the ratlins was w eir. 1 he shock was felt at sea, and according to some accounts even at Naples. A gentleman who was stay ing at Hotel Piccola Sentinel la, and who escaped with his life, relates that he only had time to secure some cau dles to use in the darkness of the ruins before the colapse of the building. A person who lives near the now ruin ed bathing establishment says he es caped from the place amid falling walls and balconies, the terrified peo ple shouting, "To the sea." The ground opened iu many places, while iu other places there was no move ment. Water gushed out of the soriusrs and several boilers in the bathing house burst. The theatre, which was a wooden structure, was litterally torn open, allowing the audience to escape. At Lac ieo there are many dead and wounded. At Furico the churches were destroyed but no one was killed. At Seirura fifteen were killed. The troops have removed tho body of Signer Feorentini, Prefect of Lussiri.

Sckenek Am., East New York, April 12, 1880. I most cordially give my testimony as to the great value of Brandreth's Pills, verified by eighteen years' experience in my mother's (the late Mr, Dr. Geo M Browne) tamily and my own. They were at first taken as a "for lorn hope," for the care of a ve!ry severe case of Neuralgia of several years' standing, the patient being completely prostrated by disease and the excessive use of opium, taken to dead en the pain (by service of her physician.) The effects were almost magical ; in one month she was able to be up and walk around freely, and the disease has never returned. My mother was also cured of an attack of Ioiiaraatoiy Rhumatism by the same means. About six years ago I was taken with what appeared to- ue a uau cuiu, uui m a snort lime, symloms ot confluent Small Pox were developed, causing us much alarm. I determined to try Brand. reth'a Pills as a remedy, and their efficacy was soon apparent. J was well much sooner than was expected, and without receiving a single 1 m . , mm -mm 0 mara or trouble ot any Rind. Jt is my firm belief, judging from the severity of the case, that had I gone through the regular routine prescribed by physicians, I should have died.
