Selected Misfellany.

The EXPLOSIVE POWER OF NITRO
GLYoER1NE.-Our readers no doubt re-
member the question, "Will saltpetre ex-
plode 2" so widely discussed some years ago.
None of the doubt which made that moot
ed point attaches to the fact of the distruc.
ness of nitro-glyciring, so thoroughly dem
onstrated by the recent occurrences at San:
Francisco, Aspinwall, and elsewhere and
which have directed the public attention to
an article heretofore little known outside of
mining, commercial and scientific circles.
Glycerine is the sweet principle of oil, is
EXTENSIVELY used for toilet purposes, and of
itsef is harmless enough. But when com
bined with nitric acid, in the proportion of
three parts of the latter to one of the for
mer, highly explosive substance, nitro
glycerine, is found. 1t is oily, heavier than
water, soluble in alcohol and either, and acts
so powerfully on the nervous system that a
single drop placed ou the tongue will cause
violent headache, which will last for sew
eral hours Its explosive force is at least
len times greater than guupowder, but not
until recently has it been applied to prac
tical purpose, namely, blasting; the cost of
which it is said to be fully fifty per cent.
Hence its value in mining, and its growing
importance as an article of commerce. But
its terrific force, as shown by the late series
of destructive explosions, demands the i'm.
position of proper legal restrictions in its
use, transportation and storage.
By the explosion at San Francisco, on
the 18th instant, fifteen or twenty persons
were killed instantly, while many others
were dreadfully injured, and the value of
the buildings destroyed by the explosion is
at least S2OO,OOO In 1865, when attention
was first called to the new explosive agent;
it was shown that, in case of shipmnnt, one
pound exploding by some unforeseen acci-
dent on board of a two hundred ton vessel
would tear the vessel to pieces" No WON
der the explosion of two hundred pounds
at Aspinwall, on the3d instant, was sufi.
cient to blow up strong iron ship destroy
the wharf, and shatter most of the build
iugs in the vicinity, causing the loss Of
fifty lives, and the destruction of property
amounting to at least $1,000, 900.
In addition to the above, We have seen
accounts of two fatal illustrations of the
distinctions of this liquid in Germany, and
our readers, no doubt, will remember the
explosion iu front of the Wyoming Hotel,
New York, on the 5th of November last,
which was only less destructive than the
more recent occurrences elsewhere, on &C.
count of the small quantity exploded
Washington Star.

to his brother who was somewhat bis senior,
who was making purchase of that article.
you Just never mind me. I'd thank you
to tend to your owu business, mister Bob
I don't care what dad allows, I'll buy what
Iplease.'
Little boy, slighly agitated; I'm going
to tell dad rushed out of the store and runs
down street, and bounces into the room
where the old man is quietly perusing the
morning paper.
Dad dad Bill has went and got shot J!
Good heavens = cries the old man drop

for the door sWhere is hep
down to Thompson's store responded
Bob.
In his excitement the old man forgets to
remove his 'reading specks' and in going
down the front steps misjudges the distance
to the pavement, steps off too soon, and
comes sprawling on all fours. He gathers
himself up and starts for the store. The
pavement appears to be about the level of
his knees, consequently in his violent en-
deavor to keep it under him he cut ludi-
crous figure, and draws from the astonished
bystanders such roar as never was before
bestowed upon single individual since the
world began.
Say, there, old lift up, where are you
going; what train do you catch? cries one.
sWhere did you learn that step? asks
another; and thus he is assailed on every
side.
But he hears not the jeers and SCOTS of
any one; he cares for nothiDg-nothing but
William. At length bis tedious march is
brought to close by arriving at the store,
where 'Bilr is stretched out, taking iteasy.
The old man, supposipg him badly hurt,
rushing up to him frsntically exclaimed;
sOh, William! William where are you
wounded7 .
whats the matter, dad? Ye going era

and casting look of astouishment at the
old man.
why, Robert said you'd got shot
So I did got half a pound of the best
duck shot in the store
The old man left amid noise enough to
drown thunder clap. As might be sup.
posed, Bob got the slammin,' and Bill did
not.
