The famous Mexican President General,
Stanta Anna, is in New York His person
al appearance is thus describes: -.
"Santa Anna is a man about five feet
nine inches in hight, apparently some sixty
years of age, with dark hair, scarcely tinged
with the chill destroyer touch, and strong
" marked features typical of the intelli-
gent Mexican and the reselute self~reliant
man of the world. He wears no beard, so
that the character of the lower portion of
his features are readily legible. Although he
uses cane in walking, a casual observer
would not suspect that the General had but
one "carnal pin to stand on, the other,
as it is very well known, being, like to-
per's last drink on Saturday night under
the new Excise, law a corker.
Seriously, however, it Is surprising that,
after the hardships which the General has
endured, he should appear with the miss
ing limb to bear his years so Justify, and
fight so strongly against the growing stoop

An EngIishman and a Scotchman we're
discussing, over the dinner table, the rela-
tive greatness Of their respective countries,
when the former put in what he considered a
poser; You viii, he said, at least admit
that England is larger in extent than Scot
land p Certainly not, was the confident
reply "You see, sir, ours is mountainous,
yours is fiat country. Now, ifaIl our hills
were rolled out fat, we should beat you by
hundreds of square miles" This reminds
us of the Vermonter who claimed that his
State had more land to the acre than any
other, because they set it up edgewIse and
cultivate both sides.

Important to Merchants and Telegraphic
Companies Supreme Court of Missouri
has decided that teegraphie company
NAV limit its liability for damages caused
by mistakes made in messages. A citizen
Of St Louis ordered salt shipped from
New York by sail The message delivered
contained the word "rail," and the cost of
the salt was doubled The telegraph COM
panv was sued for the loss, and was held
harmless by the court, because the plaintiff
should have had his message repeated back
from New York. la other words, the tele-
graph company may protect itself against
reasonable mistakes, by requiring merchants
and others to share the burdens incident to
Eecuritv against plumbers. Hence the no
tice that is usually placarded about telegraph
Offices denying liability, unless messages are
repeated, may protect companies against
suits for damages, as occurred in this case

Nitro GLycerine p This compound,
more commonly known as blasting oil, is
pale yellow oily liquid Of l 6 specific gravity
insOluble in water 1t does not explode by
direct flame, and when exploded by fuse
or conclusion leaves no residue. Itexplodes
with great rapidity and force, and the discov-
erer claims that it can be kept an indefinite
time without decomposition. A few drops
on an anvil detonates under the blow of a
hammer, but the explosion is not communi-
Gated beyond the drop which receives the
blow, and repeated blows are required to
detonate the whole quantity. 1t can be heat
ed to 2l2 deg, Fahrenheit without igniting,
but explodes at about $50 deg. Fahrenheit.
1t is poisonous, producing violent but usual
ly only temporary headaches. Glycerine
is the sweet principle of oil, and is extensive
ly used for purposes of the toilet, In l847,
a pupil Of N. Pelouze's, Sobrero, discovered
that glycerine, when treated with nitric
acid, was converted into highly explosive
substance, which he called nitro -glycerine.
1t is oily, heavier than water, soluble in alcO-
hol and ether, and acts so powerfully on the
nervous system that a single drop placed on
the tip of the tongue will cause a violent
headache which will last for several hours.
