This is dcubly suggestive; first, as an opinion

A New York letter to the Philadelphia L,-
quirer says:
A curious fact in connection with the explo-
sion of the st. John, that has not yet been
noted, is that all the boiler explosions that
have occurred in this vicinity for some months
past, and there have been quite a number,
causing at least hundred terrible deaths.
have been of low pressure engines. 1t had
always been supposed that low pressure en-
gines and boilers were safer than those made
for high pressure. 1t seems natural that it
should be so, and yet when we come to look
at the results, they are such as to entirely
puzzle and confound even those most expert
in such matters.
L was talking yesterday with gentleman
who has very high reputation here as an
engineer and scientific man, and he assured
me that the whole subject of boiler explosion
is as yet comparatively little understood. In
fact they form subject worthy of much scien-
tific research and investigation. 1t is supposed
that steam, heated beyond a certain point.
necessarily passed, even in low pressure boil
ers, when coming in contact with an iron sur
face, generates a certain amount of electrical
or galvanic action, that finally DESTROYS the
fbrous strength of the iron and renders il
brittle and liable to fracture. Another theory
is that long continued pressure on the innel
surface Of an iron boiler gradually DESTROYS
the strength of the iron, so that although a
boiler may stand the initial test of hydraulic
pressure, that will form but little proof of its
capabilities to withstand the long continued
elastic and varying pressure Of steam.
1t is certainly true that in the use of steam.
it has yet been studied but very little apart
from its mechanical effect. These explosions
for which the theory of super-heated steam
will not account, as the boilers were fixed tc
''blow off at low pressure, will turn a large
share of attention to this subject, and possibly
we may soon find it necessary for every steam
boiler to be arranged with an electrical ma
chine or indicator, to show the amount Of
electrical action, and the approach of electr
cal or galvanic storms.

Life in the Oil Repians-

MINISTER ENCOUNTER WITH A HIGHwAYMAN.
The Titusville (Pa.) Herald, published in
the oil region, tells this story
son Tuesday last clergyman of the Bati-
more Conference was riding on horseback from
Pithole to Titusville. He had nearly reached
Pleasantville, and was trotting quietly along
humming psalm tune, when man stepped
into his path, and seizing his horses Bride,
presented revolver at the parson and de.
manded his money. Nothing Disconnected,
the traveller calmly remarked that he was only
poor Methodist preacher, and had but little
money, but would give up all he had.
The robber made no reply, but maintained
his threatening position, and patiently waited
for the conference man to disgorge. The
dominic eyed the freebooter pretty earnestly,
and remarked with great solemnity: You can
have my money, friend, but for Christ sake.
and for your own souls sake, give up this
business of highway robbery The freebooter
dropped his pistol at his side, and in voice
trembling with emotion, exclaimed; you can
pass on
The reader may discredit this story. but il
is true notwithstanding. The ministerial hero
arrived safely in Titusvile, and related his
story to the Rev. j. H. Stubs, who repeated
it at the prayer and conference meeting in his
own church on Thursday evening

a DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
Spurious Fifty Dollar Legal Tender Notes

The counterfeters who have long been en-
gagged III initiating the various issues of gov
ernment paper, generally with but poor sue
cess, have made an excellent copy of the
fifty dollar legal tender note, and have given
1t considerable circulation in this city, and
probably in many parts Of the country. The
existence of q dangerous counterfeit of this
denomination of the currency has been for
some time known, but the false notes have
passed freely, and none were detected until
last week or the beginning of this week.
They have been through the hands of bank
officers and brokers of great experience; ex-
cellent Judges of money, who are not well ac
quainted with the counterfeit are unable to
form decided opinion as to the character of
it, and officers Of the Treasury Department
have found it extremely difficult to detect the
spurious paper.
When the counterfeit was first submitted TO
the men who had been employed to engrave
the original note, they pronounced it genuine;
but close observation and comparison of the
two notes, showed some slight differences.
discrepancies between the notes that will be
apparent to the public. One of them is i'll
that part of the engraving of the head Of Ham,
llton. upon the face of the note, which repre-
sents the line of the waistcoat crossing the
white collar at the neck. The acute angle
formed by the shape of the collar. so far as it
is shown, is perfect in the counterfeit note: but
in the genuine the lines of the flesh were drawn
by the engraver across the point of the collar
at its junction with the wastcoat, for the pur-
pose Of relieving the angle of the sharpness it
would otherwise have exhibited. This differ
ence is not readily observed unless the notes
are perfectly clear.
The other discrepancy is in the shape of the
ornaments i'll the border on each end of the
face of the bills, and in the whole border on
the back, The figures so are engraved on
green ground, Of which the rim, in the gen
uine bill, is in octagonal form, rather well de-
fined, though the angles are not sharp. The
eight sides of what at fisrt view appeared to
be circles. may be easily disccrned. In the
counterfeit bill the border ornaments, contain
ing the so are octagonal i'll only very
slight degree, and seem to be perfect circles.
The general appearance Of the counterfeit
gives no indication of its true character
The experts, including the engravers. say
that the imitation is so nearly accurate as to
render it unsafe for the public to undertake to
decide between the genuine and the false is
sues. The Treasury Department will, it is
thought, find it expedient to call in all the $50
legal-tender notes in circulation Tork

A Land Slide

The Memphis Argus learns, through the
courtesy of Captain Arnold and his officers,
that the Baltimore, with four large barges,
loaded with 1900 bales of hay, bound from
st. Louis to that port, laid up at the Tennessee
bank in Race Bend, forty miles above the
city, about II clock on Tuesday night. The
crew, with the exception Of the watchman,
Chas. Maddox, all retired to bed, and were
soon asleep. About four clock Wednesday
morning, they were startled from their slum-
bers by terrible crashing and cracking OF
timber, followed by terrific rocking of the
boat, which quivered and bounced like ship
on the ocean wave. The crew jumped from
their beds in wild dismay, greatly frightened,
as they might well be thinking a boat had
run into them, but upon reaching the guards,
they discovered that large portion of the
bank, about three hundred feet in length and
a depth of seventy-fve feet, had given away,
and like vast avalanche, spept with mighty
force against the two hay barges nearest the
shore, containing 2,4OO bales, breaking them
up into huge splinters, and causing them to
sink Immediately.
The loss in this unfortunate and unforeseen
accidents will amount to over 1000, with
out considering the value of the barges, which
are, at least, worth $4,000.
