HoTEL-L1vING IN New YoRK.-The pro-
prietors of the Broadway hotels are talking
seriously of raising their prices of board
from $3.50 to 5000 per day, not because
they have grown immensely wealthy at the
former figure, but because they believe they
can obtain the latter rate as easily; and |
believe they can. As it is, the landlords
are unable to accommodate the crowds of ap-
plicants for board, and they are inclined to
establish tariff out of pure benevolence to
their guests of course, that will give their
customers more room. The prices which
some persons pay at the fashionable hotels
are remarkable. There are families at the
Fifth Avenue who give $500 10 5000 week
for their mere lodging and boarding privi-
leges, while their g extras will reach $500
to 500 more.-Near York Letter.

Boiler Explosions.

The many catastrophes of the present
season from the explosion of boilers have
set intelligent men to thinking. Norman
Wizard, the ice boat man propounds new
theory, which may or may not account for
some mysterious explosions:
In cases of violent explosions. in which
the rupture is not in the weakest parts, the
riveted joints, but often in the strongest
parts or the solid plates, he holds that the
cause of rupture is difference of temper
AZURE, which causes the plates to strain
themselves. Water does not transmit heat
downward; therefore it may happen that
when part of the fire surface is not cover
cd with water, the steam may be heated
req not and heat all that part of the
oolief which is above the water level
Uhly 'hin him of water will be hot, while
the IRON below the water may be of the
temperature OF the water, under 5000
while all above may be hot enough to burn
the telling, perhaps 700 or more. The hot
portion expands in length and strains
against the cooler portion; and this strain
is much greater than the strain of the
steam. and added to the strain of the
steam, causes the rupture. There are in.
stances very numerous, in which cast
iron has been ruptured by differences of
temperature alone and even wrought iron
forged in large masses, such as shafts, is
internally split in cooling, as appears from
cutting through it. And when in boiler.
the difference of temperature is such that
the upper part ola cylindrical shell, would
be half an inch longer than the lower
part if they were cut apart, the strain has
the same effect as if strip of the plate
along the water level were of weak quail
ity.
The force with which parts of the boil.
er are projected, is accounted for by the
power known to exist in hot water, acting
expansively, as powder acts, but less vio-
lently. If rupture occur, which sud
denly liberates this power. the water and
iron will be projected with the force usual
in explosions.

For through the ups and downs ST life
Though fair and stormy weather,
His soldering for TIN long years,
Has held you fast together.
And since your love has worn so well,
Another truth we settle
You are not made of TIS-sel stn7
But true and tempered metal
And therefore, may the god. on you

Fill up the TIN cups of your lives
With bliss TO oyerfowing.
May love and friendship smooth the path

Till happier than your nights of TN
Shall be your golden wedding
And may you hear with hearts as young

SIMEON JENNINGS, of Wellsville, Ohio, died
suddenly, while sitting in his chair, last
week He possessed enormous wealth, most
ly in the shape of real estate and mortgages
on the same. He also owned large interests
in a number of Ohio banks. He was noted
for his extreme penuriousness and intense
devotion to money getting. Though worth
millions, when travelling inthe cars he would
carry lunch in his pocket to save the ex-
pense of dinner at an eating house He
bought plain brick residence below Wells
vile, on the Virginia side of the Ohio river,
and made that his home, to escape paying
taxes in Ohio on his mortgages, judgment
notes and money. He always managed
somehow to avoid paying large share of
the taxes justly due from him. The heavy
federal income tax nearly broke his heart
He was very obese and gross looking, and
for several years drank whiskey in large
quantities. He was probably the richest
man in Ohio. He leaves no direct issue
dying childless. He has several collateral
heirs, however. but leaves property enough
to bestow large fortune on each of them
We have not heard that he left any requests
to benevolent objects.

A WHOLE FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH IN
STERILE CoUNTY.-A family by the name of
Clark, living near Grain creek, in this coun-
ty, were burned to death by the explosion of
kerosene oil on Sunday night last, in the fol-
lowing shocking manner:
Having occasion to fill lamp, Mr.. Clark
undertook to do so without extinguishing the
blaze. The oil in theslamp took fire and ex-
ploded, communicating the fire to the can,
which also exploded, enveloping him in
flames He ran out of doors and and rolled
himself in the grass; but before he could
succeed in extinguishing the fire, he was
burned to a crisp. His wife was sitting
near the door, holding sick child, but,
when the explosion took place, fell to the
floor, and, before they could be rescued, both
mother and child were burned to ashes.
DR.. Ware was called to the unfortunate
man, but he could render him no assistance,
and he died in about an hour.
A family living in the upper part of the
house saved their lives by jumping out of
the window. The mother had her hands
and arms badly burned while searching for
q burned bed, supposing one of her children
to be still there, but finding the father had
succeeded in getting them all out of the win
dow, she threw herself out head foremost,
fortunately receiving no injuries, except
dislocating one wrist. The house and its
contents were entirely consumed. Owatonna

manner. We might quote from his own
personal columns, such references aid nause-
am but we forbear. Mr.. Bennett is seldom
seen, and while other editors are open to the
public, his method for years has been seclu-
sion. We think the habit grew out of sense
of danger, arising from the bitterness Of his
personal attacks, and the frequent retalia-
tions which followed. Mr.. Bennett is un-
derstood to make no claim upon public sym
pathy; he warred upon society, and expects
to receive whatever may come. If wealth
be the great end in life, he has succeeded,
since his establishment is estimated at two
millions; but we doubt If this affords the
expected satisfaction. In early days, Mr.
Beenett was tall slender, and exceedingly
awkward. He has since become very stout
and is the largest, stoutest and richest of
New York editors. He is descended from
an old Scotch Roman Catholic family, was
educated for the priesthood, and though a
lifelong scoffer at sacred things, still clings
to his early faith. Of the religious prefer
ences of the other editorial gentlemen refer
red to, we may add that Mr.. Greeley is
Universalist, and Mr.. Raymond Presbyte-
rian. Of the religious press, Mr.. Prime of
the Observer is large, well built man, with
quiet, unostentatious manners. This CORES
ponds with the character of the sheet he is-
sues, which is a pleasant, readable and use
full paper. r.Tilton of The Ipdepeadefst, is
one Of the youngest Of the fraternity. and
may expect something of compliment as to
personal appearance. The Independent, al
though ranking among religious journals, is
highly literary in its character, and boasts
IN its editor poet of no ordinary ability.
Mr.. Bryant of The EUening Post, is, as all
know, the patriarch of the city press; he is

The Right Spirit Among the Subiu-

From the Houston Telegraph, May q.
We went into secession and the form
alton of the Confederacy from AN hon
est conviction of duty. We stood by
the Contcderacy as long as it existed,
and sustained it with all the zeal and
ability we were possessed of. 1t is
crushed, and with it are crushed our
long adhered to political views. We
have now no politics, save alone the
safety and security of the society in
which we live. To that safety and Sc
curity ace are arjlling to qiGe all our
energies.
State rights, State sovereignty and all
that theory of United States govern
ment are now exploded. The question
of the reserved rights of States has
been settled by the stern arbitrament
Of arms. That arbitrament is, whether
right or wrong, decisive. It ends the
controversy. We, IChO are defeated,
must yietd to the decision because we can
do nothing else. We must entertain no
pirate eIMjtieS against the Federal Cor
e'''ment, because they SpHL lead as into
treason.
We 6elieUe 1t the part of true nlanIincss
to yield IChen hope is gone, as much us to
struggle on while there is n chance OF
success. We confess to no wrong doing
in the past, and only yield when tC
lPrOlOng the struggle would necessitate
wrong doing, present and future.
