In the general absence of newspapers at
Richmond, caused by the printers strike, the
most astounding rumors gained currency,
which, the Richmond Times says:
Although long since ascertained to be I'm.
founded in the city, they are still wedding a
''wide row. in the rural districts. 1t is cur
rently believed in many localities that the
President has summoned twenty thousand
troops to Washington, and that fleet of
Fenian steamers, more formidable than a
Spanish armada, sailed for Nantucket on
Wednesday, with an army of one hundred
thousandwarriors. The sudden disappearance
Of the newspapers left our country friends
completely in the dark; and the tidewater
region was made inconsoable by the dreadful
announcement that shad were selling at six
cents apiece, and that difficulties with France
were also imminent As to the ''treedmens
jubilee it was reported in some sections that
the procession consisted of twenty ju3ilants,
who were guarded by sixty policemen, whereas
in others twenty-five thousand cuffees were in

NTTRO-GLYCERINE OIL is the invention of Albert
Nobel. a Swiss engineer. and is probably the most
destructive compound existing. If it could be used
with safety its value for blasting rocks and other
similar. purposes could scarcely be cver-estmated
That it not safe, but dreadfWlly unsafe has been
repeatedly shown. In the small city of Bochurn in
of the coal districts of Mestphala, Germany, a
miner went to store to get of it in a tin pail,
which happened to have little turpentine on the
bottom. An explosion followed as soon it was
poured in tearing both clerk and miner to pieces.
and blowing the store into fragments In another
case, where miner in the Prussan province OF 81
lesla attempted to cut of the frozen OIL with
Ratchet he instantly killed, portions OF MS BODY
being blown long distance.
The Wyoming Hotel explosion at New ork, last
year. the late explosions at San Francisco ASpinwall,
and many other instances, which might be cited.
prove how terribly powerful and dangerous is this
oil The results of the explosion of quantity of it
on steamer at sea would be terrible In the extreme.
Regulations as much stringent than those with
regard to the transportation OF gunpowder and other
explosives as the nitro glycerine is dangerous
than ali other explosives, should be promptly made
and rigidy enforced with regard to this compound.
Otherwise there is no safety for life or limb.
In commemoration of the birthday of the
Prince Imperial of France the Empress Eugene has
given $4,000 to be divided among forty charitable
institutions scattered over the country districts Of
France.
