steam-boiier Explosion In Brooklyn, N. Y.
"A Tenement-house Demo olished-several
peraoua Iutured.

Saturdays New York Tribune informs us
that the steam-boiler in the Enterprise
Kindling-wood Mills of John F. Pearson &
Bro, in Brooklyn, N. Y, exploded about
two o'clock on Friday afternoon, and carried
destruction all around, and although several
persons were injured, but one, child, was
seriously hurt.
The building is of wood, mere shed,
occupying nearly full lot, 25 feet front
by 100 feet deep. The prepared kindling-
wood was held in the front part, and the
boiler was located at the rear end, inside the
shed. The boiler, which was lying across
the shed, was impelled through the side
toward Bond-street, struck a two-story
frame house on the rear Of the next lot and
demolished it almost completely. The
second story was occupied by William Cos
tigan. Mrs. Mcfarland was standing at the
table, in the back part of the front room
Her two children had Just gone out. Mrs
Costigan has three children; two were al
play, and the other, an infant about yeai
old, was with her in one of her apartments
| The force of the boiler knocked through one
end, and, entering the building, was turned
round by the resistance presented by thu
chimney, and, passing through the front o
the house, lodged some feet distant in thu
yard--the building being on the rear of tn,
| lot. The side and front were completely
knocked out leaving the rear and the oppo
| site end walls standing.

The New York Tribune says the difference
between the Republican platforms Of 1856 and
1860 SIS precisely the difference which the
lapse of time has rendered inevitable That
is il precisely. Nothing could be more satis-
factory but the Tribune amplifes. q
"The Convention at Chicago, therefore,
came together under new circumstances, and
in these changed relations. The Republican
party at Philadelphia, in 1856, confronted q
possible temporary evil in 1860 IL stands face
to face with an organized despotism which
announces its malgoverntnent and misgovern-
ment 10 be founded on immutable principles
of uniform application, Whereas, therefore,
the platform OF 1856 Is mainly devoted TO the
question of Kansas; the platform of 1860
covers broader ground, and rests on the
deep-rooted principles of true democratic
government, by which the aggressions OF the
Slave-Power and the turpitude and treachery
Of pretended Democrats shall be overcome,
whether In Kansas or any other Territory;
whether on the land or on the sea whether
it be TO open the virgin soil OF the west and
South to the introduction OF slaves from
Chesapeake Bay or the Coast of Guinea, to
the virtual exclusion Of free men and free
labor"
This is very fine, general and glittering.
1t is pity to mar it; but really the platform
Of 1856 was much more comprehensive in its
declaration against the extension Of slavery,
than that of 1860, besides being explicit.
The first declared the duty of Congress "To
prohibit in the Territories those twin relics
of barbarism, poligamy and slavery" II
was not limited to Kansas at oil. The last
platform merely denies "The authority Of
Congress or territorial legislature, or Of
any individual or association of individuals,
to give legal existence to slavery in any
Territory of the United States, while the
present Constitution shall be maintained"
The first declared the duty to prohibit
slavery by positive enactment the last is
merely negative declaration that no power
can give it legal existence. The first had
positive qualities; the last is emasculated
cunning and treacherous. The Tribune may
possibly be sincere in describing the superior
virtues of the last mixture, but if this is the
best that can be done for the new platform
| il had better let it rest in peace.

Mr.. Branch said that in addition to the
slaves recaptured by the Mohauk, unofficial

during the large portion of their most inn
pressible age, which they spend in school.
Does not this patent and acknowledged fact
expose the plague-spot in the public school
SYSTEM The Protestants have concealed il
from their ayes so far, by having the control
of nearly all the schools; but an instance
like this at New York exposes IL; and their
array of precedents which will make them
smart when the Catholic bull comes to gore
the Protestant OK in the public school pas
ture; and il can hardly be expected that the
Catholics have been unmindful of them.
ea0ur Public school system is . cumbrous
and costly machine, nearly monopolizing the
means of education. 1t is controlled by the
elections, yet its most ardent advocates admit
that it will be ruined, if the considerations
which enter into all other elections, find an
an entrance into these. No sect is willing
that the public schools should be without
religious influences, yet all admit that unless
they can control these influences, the public
schools will be ruined Thus inevitable ruin
to the system is provided by its most ardent
advocates and none will deny that when the
public school system does fall into the vortex
of politics, saying nothing of religious
bigotry, it viii have the capacity for more
oppression and wrong than any government
institution that was ever invented.
The length of this article prevents some
other considerations; but is it wise policy to
go on expanding system and increasing its
powerfor perversion, which its best friends
admit TO be exposed to ruin by certain con-
tingencies which all sensible people know to
be ineyitabIe2 Would it not be wiser to pro-
vide against inevitable ruin by curtailing its
dimensions to the public necessities, which
were the measure of education provided at
public expense before the system was taken
in hand and expanded to point where its
own engineers are momentarily in fear of q
collapse? 80 f...... .. a.,.

The Great Prize Transformation of Hee.
nan-He and Sayers to Fight Again.


Belts Life, received by the last steamer,
has the following;
On Friday we had q visit from Heenan,
who, in company with Mr.. Wilkes, came to
demand that day should be fixed for the
battle to be resumed. Both were aware of
the notice alluded to in our last, and both
suggested that the fight should take place
out of England, but whether Sayers will
agree to this remains to be proved. A day
has been named, but as by the articles the
men are bound to fight in England, and, as
the authorities are determined, we can not
see way out of the difficulty unless Sayers
valves the articles entirely, and goes abroad
to continue the contest.
We had not seen Heenen since the fight
until Friday, and were glad TO perceive that
beyond scar and few discolorations he
had entirely recovered from the punishment
| he had received. He, of course, professed
his anxiety to have the matter settled one
| way or the other, and made no objection to
give the proper time for Sayers to be placed
on an equal footing with himself. He an
nounced that he will shortly take benefit,
but that there had been some difficulty as to
| q day. All we can say is, let him lose no
time, but "strike while the iron is hot"
The excitement at present is very great, and
| if he fixes upon spot within few days, he
must realize a large sum. If he tarry toe
long, public interest will be on the wane, anC
his receipts will be diminished one half.
Other advices from England contain thi
information:
The authorities appear determined to pre-
vent q second meeting between the tw'
champions. Two officers of police, specially
directed by the Home Secretary Of State
waited upon Mr.. Bowling, the editor of Bell
Lite, and cautioned him that if attempts wert
made to renew the fight in any place wher'
the warrant of the Home Secretary had any
jurisdiction or authority, they would at onc'
be arrested, along with the hackers anC
seconds in the late fight, and prosecuted fo
the former breach of the peace. Mr.. Dowl
ing declares his intention to wash his hand
of the affair and take no part in any arrange
ments for second fight beyond naming th
day.
Notwithstanding this action on the part O
the authorities, second meeting has actual,
been arranged between the two champions
Heenan and Sayers, and all the particular
of time and place satisfactorily agreed upon
They will only be attended by some thirty o
forty friends each and the whole affair man
aged with the greatest secrecy. 1t is no
considered prudent to publish at the presen
time the full particulars of when and wher
the fight is appointed to take place, as tn
time is sufficiently distant to allow it to be
come known in England if published her
| now, and thus enable the Magisterial official
to take steps to prevent the accomplishment
of this eagerly desired object.

Naming a Country i'm Arlzonn = Singular
Circumstance Inducing the ChristeninE.
The last Arizonidn at hand gives the fol-
lowing account of the christening of a new
county in that Territory, on occasion of es-
tablishing provisional government;
It was the intention, originally to call II
Santa Rita County, which name was reported
by the committee who had charge of the
constitution and schedule. 1t happened,
however, while this particular section was
under consideration, the deliberations Of the
convention were disturbed by the ringing Of
bells, and a hundred women or more, rush
ing out of the church, singing and praying
and parading in front of them through the
streets their patron saint, San Augustine.
No one in the convention knew the cause
of this sudden outbreak Of prayer and rejoic-
ing, and every one knew it was not one o.
the Mexican saint days. The enigma wal
| soon solved: a Mexican runner had COME
into town with the joyful tidings that Capt
Ewell was coming with the beautiful little
Mexican girl who had been carried into cap
| tivity about sixteen days previous by tn,
| Apaches. The convention again resumed ID
business, when Capt. ]. Dean Alden, of Tubac
"moved to strike out Santa Rita where 1t oc
CURED in the section, and insert Ewell.'
| Twenty voices responded, ~ second the mo
ton" The amendment was carried withou
a dissenting voice.

sey in the Weymouth, Mass, poisoning case,
far made. A druggists clerk in Boston iden-
tilted him as having purchased sixty grains
of strychnine, stating at the time that he was
son of Mr.. Tirrel, of Weymouth, and that
he had recently lost sister by DEATH The
body of Mary Tirrel, who died four months
ago, has been exhumed, and it was found on
examination that she had been seduced and
poisoned. The suspicious are now strong
that Hersey had poisoned his wife and the
two sisters Tirrel. He has been arrested on
the charge of murder, and will be examined
on the 22d inst. This case is destined to
create great excitement in Massachusetts.

SENSIBLE PRAYER BY A BOY.--A little boy
one day had done wrong, and was sent, after
parental correction, to ask in secrect the for
giveness of his Heavenly father. His offense
had been passion. Anxious to hear what he
had to say, his mother followed to the door
of his room. In lisping accents she heard
him ask TO be better, never to be angry again
and then, with child-like simplicity, he added
"LOrd, make mas temper better, too"
