OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Indication! for Tenneme and the Ohio Valley Nearly ttationary, followed at nest ttatiom by ruing barometer ; nearly ttationary temperature; eoutherly winds clear or partly cloudy veathtr; at weet ttatione probably rain area: Gold closed in New York yesterday at 106f. The telegraph gives an interesting account of the action of the great tidal wave at the Sandwich Islands, and puts a finish to a wonderful story by detailing the brilliancy of an active volcano. The testimonial concert to Mr. William H. Lott, at the Opera House to night, will afford a friendly public feeling an opportunity for expression. Mr. Lott's fine voice and musical cultivation have created an extensive demand for his services at local entertainments, both as singer and director, and his uniform generosity in responding justifies the determination of a large number of music-loving citizens to tender him a testimonial. The programme for the occasion, already published, evinces the good taste of Mr. Lott's selections, and displays the good judgment of thoBe who have selected faia assistants. These is a lull in the European war news. It is not easy to ascertain at what time the Russians intended to cross the Danube, but whatever their plans may have been the swollen condition of the stream probably precludes the possibility of present active operations. Ardahan is at present the point of interest in Armenia. Official bulletins claiming its recapture by the Turks have been sent out for two days, but they are denied in dispatches from St. Petersburg, the denial being based on the fact that no information has been received to that effect in offioial dispatches from the Russian commander. The reasonable probabilities rt that it is Btill in the hands of the Russians. The Democratic Slate Central commit' tee, at their meeting yesterday, determin ed to eall the Democratic State Conven tion to meet in this city on the 25th of July one week before the time of the Eepublican Convention. Cincinnati closely contested the claims of Columbus, but failed. Without doubti the action of the committee will receive the popular party endorsement. Naturally, Columbus is the place at which to hold State Conventions whiob have delegates from all the counties. It is central and has superior railroad communication, considerations which come nearer to an equal ization of the expenses of delegates, and a fair distribution of representation, than can be presented by any other city. The local pride of our border neighbors, or sectional interest in packing the Con ventions, can alone be at the bottom of the efforts at removal from Columbus. The absurd pretext is that this city .does not afford sufficient accommodations for delegates. The idea that the rural Demo cratic delegates, or even the princely ward politicians of Cincinnati, can not manage to exist in Columbus for two days and a night, is a preposterous invention pro- duced by men who dare not give their true reasons for patting t wothirds of the delegates to serious inconvenience, increased expense and greater loss of time, Unknown Man round Dead. South Charleston, O., May 81, To the Editor of the Ohio State journal : An unknown man, supposed to be a German, and about twentytwo or twenty- three years old, with light sandy hair, light blue eyes, five feet eight inches blgh, was found dead along side the rail road track, near this place, to-day, who is supposed to have been a citizen of Columbus, 0.

The Tidal Wave at the Sandwich Islands. rremendous Rise and Fall of the Sea. Great Destruction of Property-Several Lives Lost. The Perilous Sitnalion of an American Whaling Ship. Graphic Account from an Eye Witness.An Active Volcano Give, a Bt illisnt Spectacle. San Francisco, May 81. By the arrival of the City of Sydney, we have an account from the Honolulu Advertiser of the great tidal wave of May 10. It appears to have occurred simultaneously all over the group. At Eabanllon Island the first unusual eubiidenoe of the sea was noticed about a quarter before five o'clock in the morning. An observer in this town who was near the harbor, and saw the exposed reef, places the occurrence at exactly the same time. J. J. Porter, of Hilo, Hawaii, fixes the moment of the wave which overwhelmed the village of Waikea at precisely the same time, and the statement of Captain Smithers, of the whaling bark Paoific, which was lying at the time in Hilo bay, corroborates this. The difference between the highest and lowest water mark at various localities we ascertain to he as follows : Hilo, on the east side of Hwaii, thirtysix feet; Keala-kekua bay, west side of Hawaii, thirty feet; Kawaihae, west side of Hawaii, five feel; Kahulai, north side of Moui, thirty-two feet; Lahaa, south side of Moui, thirty two feet; Lahaina, south side of Moui, twelve feet; Honolulu, south sii'e of Oahu, four feet and ten inches: Nawiliwili, southeast side of Kanah, three feet. In some cases the difference in the height of wave may be accounted for by the configuration of the coast and outlying reefs. Following is an account of the disaster at Hilo, from an eye witness : Hilo, May 11. To W. O. Parkst esq.; Dsab Sir We have bad a great disaster at Hilo. Thursday morning, tbe lutn inBt., about 1 o'clock, the sea in the bay was seen to rise and fall in an unequal manner, and at 5 o'clock it swept in in a mighty wave, washing up and into all the stores id front of the town, carrying off a great deal ot lumber and all the stone wall of the wharf. The perpendicular height of the wave is since ascertained to have been twelve feet and three inches above ordinary low water mark. At Wakken the damage was frightful. Every house within one hundred yards of tne water was swept away, l ne steam boat wharf and store house, Spencer's store house, the bridge across the stream, and all dwelling houses, were swept away in an instant, and now lie a mass of ruins far inland. Five lives were lost, and numbers were bruised and had limbs broken. The body of a woman was found by the boats ofi Boolii. The boats of the American whale- ship Pacific, Captain Smithers, lying in the harbor, picked up six people who were swimming for their lives in the bay. Tbe Pacific was lvine in tour fathoms ot water, but she grounded when the sea receded, and then would be whirled round and round ea the sea came In again. All expected to see tier drag ashore. The sea continued to rise and lau ail day, timed one of the tides In the morning about seven o'clock, and from its lowest ebb to its flood was only about four minutes. It rose about fourteen teet perpendicular height in that time. In the afternoon in the space of one hour, the sea rose and tell three times, with a height above half tide level of ten feet each time. The wave at Waikea must have had a perpendicular height of sixteen feet to have talfen tbe bridge and whart where thev now lie Tbe water swept com- pletely over Cocoa island, and the hospital there has disappeared. Tours in baste, i. beveeanob, The volcano of Relanoabon has been unusually active of late. A steamer ar rived at Hito on Wednesday. 2d inBt. As she passed down the coast on the follow ing night tbe light ot tbe crater was unu sually brilliant. On Friday, at 2:45 p m.. several pretty severe earthquake shocks were felt, followed a few minutes later by a let of lava thrown up from tne floor of tbe crater, near the east bank, through a crack which bad evidently been made by tbe earthquake. Ihe lava con tinued to spout at this place, gradually ascending the steep blutf to its sum mil; then moving along tbe isthmus connectng the large orater with the smaller one of Kilaneaki, down into tbe pit of whiob the lava ran. This continued for six hours, the lava be lt thrown up in numerous jets along the line at different hlghts, at times reaching one hundred feet. Frequently there would be at least fifty of these jets at onoe. making a magnificent display Locating this eruption and its general characteristics, tbey appear to be iden tically the name as those of 1837, 1840 and 1868. Simultaneously with this the fires of old South Lake were suddenly ex tinguished, and for two days following a dumber ol area were seen in iuiova. WASHINGTON. FINANCIAL.

Yesterday's Berlin Post has another war article, declaring that no confidence sought to ba placed in the professions or inteations of tha French Cabinet, and that hopes of peace rest chiefly on the prudence and sagacity of German statesmen. The article is full of insinuations against Count Von Beuat, Austrian Ambassador at London, of whose intrigues it gives a circumstantial account. It says he recently endeavored to concert an Anglo-French alliance, to be nominally direcied against Russia and Germany, but in reality against Germany alone. France and Austria were to have attacked Germany, while En gland would be left to deal single-handed with Hussia. ine uaoinet, nowever, seeing through this plot, it came to nothing.

Hn Found Dead Suspicion or foul Play Personal-Deeoratlou Cere, moniea. Ciroleville, Ohio, May 31. To tha Editor of the Ohio State Journal: Green Yiney, colored, who has the contract for sprinkling West Main street, was found drowned in the canal, near where he fills his wagon, early this morning. The lower part of his left ear and face was severely bruised, whether by falling out of his wagon, or being foully dealt with, is to be determined hereafter. He was hired to sprinkle Court street as far as the Fair grounds, for the Murphy picnic to-day, and it is supposed worked nearly all of last night so that the street would be free of dust to-day. An inquest was beta this forenoon, but adjourned to this afternoon so as to view the ground adjoining where be was found. A great many rumors are rife, but none reliable. Viney leaves a wife and five children. He was an honest, steady, hard working man, well liked by both whites and blacks who knew him. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to hie death by drowning; that he received a contusion of the head by falling from the wagon, or from a blow, and was then "thrown into the river, or otherwise." James Steele, son of J. P. Steele, merchant tailor, went last Monday to Balti more, Maryland, being oalleq. there as clerk in the Baltimore and Ohio railway office. Our town was literally swarming with Murphyites this forenoon, and the Fair grounds present a lively appearance now; plenty to eat and driok, if you don't ask lor Anything strong not even a nf allowed in your lemonade CircUville nwer had such a crowd before in her mldat.

There was an impreseive prayer by Key. Mitchell; songs by Quartette club, and an oration by Rev. J. F. Franklin, after which decoration began. All in all, everything was done in an impressive manner and told well. A forrlble Outrage. N . Y. Special to Cincinnati Gaiette. A series of outrages of the most brutal nature were perpetrated In Newark, New Jersey, to-day. The Times's acoount says that Jobn Doltinger, hut wife and daughter Caroline, a girl of fourteen years, oc cupy a little house on Railroad avenue. On Tuesday afternoon, while Mrs. Bol- linger and her daughter were alone, three rutbana forced their way into the house. One of them presented a pistol at Mrs. Bollinger's head, and threatened to blow her brains out if she made an outcry. Then be made a brutal assault upon her. The other two men seized the daughter, but Bhe succeeded in escaumg from them. Then the desperadoes escaped. At one o clock this morning tbe three ruffians, accompanied by four others, returned. The family had retired for the night. The men broke in the door and three of them carried the girl to a strip of woods and then each committed an outrage on her. Meanwhile their four companions remained at the house. One held a pistol at Mr. Bollinger's bead to prevent his interference, while the other three outraged bis wife in his presence. Threatening to kill him if he divulged the anair, tbey left. Mr. Bollinger at once reported tbe mailer. Detective Fisber. accompanied by a posse, went in search of the desperadoes to the woods to which tbe girl bad been taken, and lound Caroline still there with two of the men. One of them, Owen Gillen, was j'unt leaving when the officers seized him. The second villain, Cavanaugb, was with tbe girl, ihey were taken berore Justice Jessup and committed to jail for trial. Diplomacy ud the Basstnu Ad vance. tiew York Times.l Special cable dispatcheB to the Times confirm tbe rumors of a renewal of diplo matic negotiations between the great European powers concerning the war in the East. The delay on the Danube has not been altogether due to the difficulties of the military situation. While the masses of tbe Kusaian army were being brought forward, Russia has endeavored to secure herself from possible complications with the other powers. It is now said that the meeting between Count Bchouvaloff and Prince Bismarck ended in an inquiry from Russia as to where England's interests would be anected by a Russian advanoe. The answer to this nas a summary of the points brought out by the Government during the late debate cn Mr. Gladstone's resolutions. These, it will be recollected, were chiefly in refer ence to Eng.ish interests in Asia, special ly put in jeopardy by Russian conquests in that region. The latest danger, according to diplomatic gossip, is that a coalition will be formed of France, Austria, and England against Russia and Germany. That there iB something more than gossip in this is quite likely, but it does not seem probable that diplomacy can much longer retard the Russian ad vance across the Danube, now set down for June 7.

Last week, Dr. Willard, of Allegheny, operated qn a bad case of caries, or diseased hone, at the Homeopathic Hospital. Sending around to Lee S. Smith esq., Dr. W. borrowed one of the engines and put its drill to work on the exposed and diseased bone. Whether the man with tbe "cariee" en joyed the operation or not, was not staled, but tbe success of the idea was an assured one. The old plan of chipping away with mallet and chisel has had its day, This method, it is stated, leaves a rough finish on tbe bone, and is a very uncomfortable way of getting rid of bone. Tbe engine did its work rapidly, leaving a clean, smooth surfape. This is the first instance where the engine has been used in this city; Encouraging shad. Chicago Tribune. We print in another column an article showing that ocean shad are now ascending the Ohio river, and are caught in large numbers at the Falls opposite Lou isville, where they go to deposit their spawn. This is the result of the deposit of 4UU.0UU young shad by tbe Uovern-ment five years ago in the headwaters of the Allegheny river, their instinct being to return for spawing to the point where they were hatched, Tbe Kentucky Fish Commission are beginning to stock other streams of the State, as Michigan has already planted 10,000,000 young shad, California salmon, brook trout, and white fish, which promise a return prolific beyond estimate. Wisconsin is doing the same thing, and it is shameful that Illi nois should neglect its lakes and streams when the expense of tbe undertaking is so small and the yield so enormous. But this was not the only omission of the recent Legislature. Tbe early education of Prof. Tyndall is said to have been mainly athletic. He was already a big boy and a good swimmer, runner, climber, and no dull student of the noble art of self-defense, be ore Mr. John Conwill, a skillful teacher in one of the Irish National schools, took his mathematical education in hand, and marked out his first problems on the snow as master and pupil returned from school together. In the early Btagea of mathematics his power of representing an image upon the tablets of the mind helped him very considerably; but his circumstances compelled him to earn the opportunity of self-culture before he could undergo any sufficient scientific training. At first a member of tbe Ordnance Survey of Ireland, then an assistant in an engineer's oflice during the mania for railway extension, next a student at the old muster-place of the Teutonic knights, young Tyndall worked hard, read C'arlyle, ana made many friends. Over and over again he determined to push his fortune in America, but fortune proved too strong for sound calculation, and tbe transatlantic visit was reserved for the day when success was achieved. Be is building himself a house among '.he Swiss peaks and. glaciers, where he always spends his summers. He is vary proud of his wife s skill as an Alpine climber. EXCURSION!

New Haven Register 1 A refreshment saloon in Loudon has been finished inside in such a manner as to be readily washed out with a hose. The floor is paved, the walls are of Majolica, and tbe ceiling is covered with enameled sheet iron. When it is desired to clean the room, the furniture is removed, the hose is laid on, and the place is simply drenched and flooded till clean. Tbe ceiling is the novel feature of the room, To prepare it, large pieces of sheet-iron were coated with enamel in the usual manner, and were then handsomely painted in colors. After baking to secure the colors, the sheets were affixed to tbe beams of the floor overhead. Ihe joints are made to fit tight, and once in place the enameled plates will last as long as the building stands. This style of ceiling is partially fire proof, and saves all expenses, repairs, and danger of lath and plaster. There is no patent on this system of ceilings, and any enameling firm may make the sheets in plain colors, clear white, or in patterns to fit any re freshment room, bath room, laundry. dairy, or other room where a washable ceiling is desired. Mrs. General Sherman at tha Vat. lean. New York Herald Our correspondent at Rome telegraphs that Charles Ealing, Envoy, and Mrs, General Sherman, President of the American Ladies' committee, had a private audience with the Pope, in the half of the Vatican, at six p. m. on Sunday evening. A number of geographical maps were pre sented to His Holinese; alro $11,000 in gold, from the archdiocese of Baltimore, and $5000 from ether dioceses. Several addresses and numerous private offerings were made. Ihe Pope received them Bit ting on a portable chair, and replied to the speeches in quite a gay humor. He wns afterward carried out to the prom enade. Another Subscriber Disheartened. San Antonia Herald. The ignorance of some of our moat wealthy citizens is absolutely humiliating. A man who pays taxes on any quantity of real estate stopped us yesterday and asked to change Mb Evening Herald to a Morning Herald. "But our paper only appears in the evening," weexclaimed. "All right 1 I've been a friend of tbe paper for twenty years, but that settles it. If you haven't got accommodation enough to print me my copy in the morning you are not a live newspaper man, and can't keep up with railroad?, and progress, and sicbl" and off he went on his ear. There is a Brooklyn policeman who is so handsome that his life is a source of torture to him. His charms attract th opposite sex and they won't let him alone. They fall in love with him, write to him, and pester him almost to death. One gushing creature writes : "Dearest Joe : You will call me bold and brazen when I say that I love you. You are my affinity. We were made for one another. Never until I saw you did I know what it was that they call love. To be sure I heard it defined as a blind passion, but the meaning of the word was to me until a short time ago very vague. There is an obstacle, I know a very large obstacle I might say in the person of your wife, but she can't love you as I do. She is tbe being that Btands between me and happiness. I would have your love all to myself, but, rather than lose all, a part of your heart will satisfy me. Near the setting sun is Utah; throw up your position and emigrate there. I have money enough for both, and I am sure your present wife and me will agree like two sinters." A wive of forty, whose life can not have been all sunshine, writes tbe follow ing advice to other married pairs :- "Pre serve sacredly the privacies of your house, your married state, and your heart. Let not father or mother, sister or brother, or any third person, even presume to come in between you two, or to share the joys and sorrows that belong to you alone, to you two. With God's help build your own quiet world, not allowing your dear- est earthly friends to be the confidant of aught that concerns your domestic peace. Let moments of alienation, if they occur, be healed at once. Never speak of it out- side, but to each other confess, and all will come out right. JNever let the morrow's sun still find you at variance. Re new or review the vow at all temptations; it will do you both good, and tbereny your souls will grow together, cemented in that love which is stronger than death, and you will become truly one." The Mexican border question, novi bothering Mr. Hayes, is the same ques tion tbat worried James folk over thirty years ago. Polk undertook to Bet- tie it by annexing TexaB. He got Texas, and a war, but tbe question is still unsettled. There is some reason to think that Hayes has an idea of repeating the Polk experiment. But, considering the failure of Polk s experiment in tbe object aimed at, it would be well for Hayes to be sure that he annexes enough of Mexico to ef fectually settle tbe border troubles, and tbe surest way to do tbat would be to annex bo much that there would be no bor der left. If we are going to settle the Mexican border question by the annexation mode of removing the border further away, let us remove it at once to the op posite boundary of Mexico, and be done with it.

At the meeting of Division A, Knights of Pythias, last night, a little business was transacted, of a public character, and which was not down on the bills. After the lodge had got through with its work, John G. Thompson rose, and addressing the Cbair, proceeded to make an address to the lodge in reference to the Division attending the meeting of the Supreme Lodge of the World, at Cleveland, on the 14th of August. In tbe course of his remarks, he complimented the lodge on tue capture ot tne banner at Toledo, and said that it was the desire of brother members that he should extend to Captain Heinmiller their acknowledgments. lie proceeded in this way for a short lima and wound up by presenting Captain H. a beautiful gold-headed cune, a testimoni al from tbe members of the Division. The speech was so admirably worded, and the stcret had been bo well kept, that Captain Heinmiller was completely surprised.In accepting the present, he said that no member who had been to Toledo and bad tested the electric pulling machine there was more surprised than be was, on the cccasion. He returned thanks for the present in an appropriate manner, and was frequently applauded. The cane is of ebony, with gold handle, and is a very nice and valuable present. It beers the following inscription : "Presented to Captain Henry Heinmiller, by Division A, K. of P., Columbus, 1877." Itelorm School lor Boys.

The Courier Journal has tbe following concerning two of the Hartford players: "It would be interesting if York and Holdsworth could only take positions at the bat at the same lime. York is a left-handfr, Holdsnorth a right-hander; both of tbiu go through a very pretty hornpipe preparatory to striking the ball, and a double song and dance on the ball-field would be unique, even if it is not entirely consistent with the game."
