OLD ABE AS A LEGIsLAToR.-The only
legislative enactment which ever found its
origin in the brain Of A. Lincoln, was
law passed by the Legislature of Illinois in
1881, when Abe was representative from
Sangamon county, to authorize Samuel
Musick to construct toll-bridge over Salt
creek. The toll-bridge was built, but it is
raid that Mr.. Musick never collected tho
first red cent Of toll, for the simple reason
that everybody could ford the creek.

- Wonderful Escape.-On Monday morning
water back, in the range of the kitchen
of the restaurant of Messrs. Warren &
Logee, on Eighth street, Philadelphia, cx-
ploded with Il terrific noise, doing con-
siderable damage to the house and setting
fire TO the kitchen. AS the particulars of
the explosion may serve as warning to
persons who have ranges to supply hot
water for bathing and other purposes about
| their dwellings, we copy the following from
the Philadelphia News:
The water back is cast iron box capA-
bio of holding about four gallons. 1t con-
meets with an iron reservoir, called cir
culating boiler, by means Of lcaden pipes.
The fire in the range WAS permitted to go
down on Saturday night, and it remained
so over Sunday. The intensely cold
weather of Sunday night congcaled the
water in the service pipe that carries the
cold stream into the water back. The
servant aud colored woman named Lctitia
Fox, built a fire in the range on Monday
morning, and the supply OF water being
cut off, caused the steam to generate fast,
without any way to escape. AT about
quarter before eight o'cluck, the fire hav-
ing burned about an hour, an explosion
| took place causing the greatest alarm to
prevail throughout the house.
en- to give ali order to the servant, when,
in q moment, flame of fire suddenly
flashed through the stovc-pipe hole, six
feet above the range in the brcastwork of
the chimney. This caused Mrs. l.. to start
back involuntarily, and in an instant the
| range blew up. The clothing of Mrs. L.
took fire but with great presence of mind,
she put her burning dress out, and escaped
any serious injury. The servant girl was
standing directly in front of the range
She was blown across the kitchen, aud the
| bricks, pieces Of iron and Goals of fire flew
in all directions. She was scalded on the
arms aud neck, and the backs of her hands
were much lacerated. 4 lnmbcr of arti-
Giles in the apartment were set on lire, but
| by the prompt application of water the
flames were extinguished. The effects Of
the explosion were truly wonderful. X
door leading under the stairway in the
main entry, front building, was forced open,
the bolt being ripped of by the concus-
sion. A portion of the jam of another
doorway was splintcred and scattered
about. Even the front door KEY was forced
from the lock, and hurled to a distance of
twenty feet towards the kitchen, when it
| fell on the main front stairway. The
| breastwork of the chimney in which the
range WAS built was blown to nothing but
heap Of scattered brickbats, mortar and
| iron The Newell board of 4 stairway
Immediately in the rear of the range, was
forced almost an inch from its position,
and an old wall of the house forced half
an inch from a plumb line. The water
back was marked tOsustain pressure
of four hundred pounds. There was
flaw in it. 1t was new last spring, and
some idea may 6e formed of the immensi-
ty of the explosion, when these facts are
taken into consideration.

DURING the fearfully cold weather of
last week, near Pottsville, Pa, the family
of German named Frantz, came near To-
sing their lives while crossing the noun
tains to ST. Clair. 1t was necessary to
leave them for time in the wagon in or
der to take the horses back to have their
shoes sharpened, and during the delay, to
save themselves from freezing, they en-
deavored to keep warm by pressing on
afoot. They were found cold and insensi-
bic, the mother frozen to the ground and
still clasping her babe to her bosom. One
child has died, and the recovery of the 9TH
err children was doubtful. The mother and
babe will live.
