THE FIALA HISSAR MINED.
Cant"-, Sunday.—A tremendous explosion took pines
at two o'clock this afternoon at the Bala Hisser. The
lower end of the magazine was blown .4,, the stones being
scattered in all directions. The cause of the explosion is
at present unknown. The officers of the fith Ghoorkas
and ethos neeembled in the mess-house had a miraculous
escape. The doorway was I down in, and the wall shaken,
but the roof remained a most int mt. Fortunately, those
Inside the building suffered no injury. The officers
escaped through • small bole in the ruins. What casualties
there may have been are as yet unknown. The iZtli
Regiment, the Ghoorkas, and the Sikh officers were
immediately removed from the Bala !Wear, and thus
escaped the danger of the subsequent catastrophe. Two
hours afterwards • column of smoke, mounting several
hundred foot high, and • report like thunder, showed that
the precaution was fully justified. The upper, and larger
magazine, which was connected by • punage with the
lower sae, also extaled.
Cholera has Iwo en out among the English troops at
Cabal. It is expected that Yakoob's son, five years old.
will be recognised as the auccesior to the throne, the
British :lovemment supervising State affairs iucanwhile.

fashionable and yet faahionable attire. Solomon never
was arrayed isle our Lord Mayor. He has his gold
gown far court; his black silk, richly embroidered, for
ordinary occasion.; his violet robe bordered with
black velvet and fur for wear in the civic courts; and
his scarlet for Thanksgiving Days,
On November the Bth he has charge even him
over the swords, sceptre, mace, and purse. The m.os,
according to a charter granted by Edward 111, Is
borne before his lordship. It is made of silver-gilt, is
63 inches long, and is surmounted by the Imperial
Arms and Crown. The swords are interesting articles,

numerous gems of that name, is a constant witness of
Lb., inordinate feasting so necessary to Civil Gevern-
ment in England ant other savage ststes. The
" Pearl " was a gift of good Queen Bea. It costs at
least £1,330 per annum to bear these baubles.
The collar of the Lord Mayor is a mighty piece of
jewellery (made so far back as the early part of the
sixteenth century). there are 13 large " ties," 14
" 'es" and 28 Silas in it, and it measures 64 inches.
A kind f portcullis unites the ends and to this hangs

The " jewel " deserves special mention. It is a
circle of S.S., interspersed with diamonds set In silver,
inside this a carter of blue, edged with white and gold,
bearing the City motto "Dolour 6440,4 re nos," and in the
centre the City arms, cut out in lovely blue came on
an olive ground. The jewel is sometimes worn round
the neck on blue ribbon only.
Electricity has *cored another triumph. Three two
extra hours of study daily amid the 300,000 books of the
library of the British Museum will be no alight boon
even to this bell. One can put up with change of tints
and occasional tremor of current for the great privi-
lege. When we bear that a light equal to 4,000 candles
can b. produced for one shilling an hour, our hopes of
the future rise high incited. It will vet be possible
for working men to study is the evenings at the
library, which is as much theirs as ours. Al present
Saturday afternoon is all the time they can get in the
grest source of thought One by one the slumbering
blocks which lie in the way of those who au a already
heavily weighted in the race will disappear. Be quick,
