A Brazilian Vessel with $50 Tons of Gun
powder Blown Up.
Rio Janeiro (Feb. ~ Cor. N. Y. Herald.

Rio Janeiro (Feb. y Cor. n. Y. Herald.
The explosion of gunpowder at the Island
OF Cerrito, at the mouth of the Paraguay,
consisted of $50 tons of powder On the
% the Brazilian schooner Pluto had just
received cargo of powder size was to take
10 Rio, and was alongside the pontoon from
which the powder had been transferred.
The captain was on shore receiving his last
orders, when three distinct detonatlons
were heard. They were the blowing up OF
the Pluto, the pontoon, and the magazine
on shore. What was the cause is unknown,
as every one about the store and vessels dis
appeared in the explosion. Seventeen per-
ished on board the Pluto, including the wife
and daughter of the captain, and nine
worknen repairing the vessel. Fortunately
there were no persons on the pontoon or IN
the magazine, it being the breakfast hour.
The captain of an iron-clad lying near says
the schooner exploded first, the pontoon
next, and the magazine last. The captain
of the schooner says that before he left the
hatchways were battered down and covered
with tarpaulin, and the deck was washed.
If it were not for this statement one might
find very probable cease in the omnipre-
sent cigarette for men have been seen
smoking while engaged in the manufacture
of cartridges, and it is only little time ago
tnat country store resolved itself into
brickbats and mortar by the storekeeper,
in going to attend customer hlnging his
cigarette behind hin into an open keg Of
powder.
Some damage was done to vessels lying
off the Brzilian arsenal established at Ger
rity. A powder fatboat near the magazine
vanished; pont0on hauled ashore half
mile away, was driven into the river and
sunk; bomb-fat, mile away, was over
whelmed by the wave and sunk; four iron
clads suffered some damage, and the build
ings on shore were injured. The neigh
boring trees were overthrown for consid-
erable distance, torn up by beams and
splinters hurled into the forest by the ex-
plosion, A great number of birds were
killed, and on the same day large GUAM
tity of dead or stunned fish were W ned
ashore for long way down, r i the
schooner's anchor is said to have been
found on the other side Of the island.

How He Got a Free hide,

An arrest is not always stop; it may be
mode of motion. There was an old
''buffer" used the title in describing
himself-in Manoning, town near Phila-
delphia, who announced to the authorities
there, that he had, in 1866, committed a
murder. He located the tran action on
the banks of CHARTERS Creek, near Pitts
burg, and said he had thrown the body
into the river. Information being tele-
graphed TO the Chief of Police of the latter
city, and the records searched, 1t was found
that man had been murdered at the time
and place mentioned, and the murderer
had hitherto escaped. "Bufer" Burns was
forwarded under close arrest to Pittsbarg.
Less favored there than in some other To-
calities, they don't have a murderer every
day. He became an object of intense in
terest; interviewing reporters crowded his
cell, and decided that the Buffer" was d
queer hsh-jn fact, rather jolly than other
wise. Residents of the vicinity where the
murder Nas committed, and who knew the
missing murderer, on being confronted
with the Buffer" declared, however, that
he was not the man; and others finally
identified him as having circulated in that
nelghborhood two or three years ago as
vagrant by the name of Patsey. Then the
nButfer' confessed again. He knew about
as much concerning the murder as people
in general thereabouts; but he had become
tired of Mahoning, and wanted conveyance
to Pittsburg. The latter story proved to
be the correct one, aad he was set at lib
erty in the place wherein he loved to dwell,
for he had not killed anybody although he
was a deadhead himself. The officials are
disputing as to which of them must pay
the expense of Buffer Burns's tree pass.
DIVIDENDS are applied to keep the policy in
force in the Washington Life, Of New York.

A REMARKABLE NEGRO, named David
Smart, died about fortnight ago in
Franklin county, Kentucky. Although
los years old at the time of his death. aud
the first Is years of his
life were spent in the state of Virginia,
this extraordinary colored American never
claimed to have been the body servant OF
General Washington. This is not hi ONLY
title to fame. He was also the sole in
ventor Of new and improved method OF
hunting. Having noticed that wild tur-
keys and black hogs fed Familiarity to-
gether IN the woods the birds even alight-
ing on the backs of the quadrupeds, he
was seized by the novel conception of
making himself a pseudo swine, by strip
ping and going on all tours, SO as to be in
position to catch any tt rzey that might
light on his back. The most brilliant in
genuity is not always crowned with sue
cess, and the dusky inventor never quite
seized turkey leg, although he was nearly
frozen to death during the experiments.
Death always comes too soon for the com
pleted work of genius; and had Mr.. Smart
lived long enough, he meant to try it
again.

A Question Of Dethronement.

A dispatch from Munich says that the
Bavarian Council Of State is considering
the question of the dethronement Of the
King. If such step could be taken with
out disturbing the peace of the Kingdom,
it would be good thing for the people of
Bavaria. King Ludwig IL is fool, or not
far removed from one. His freaks have
been called in courtier language, eccentri-
cities, but there is little doubt that he is an
imbecile His passion for Richard Wag-
ner's music, and his love for Wagner
himself, are the most nearly intel.
ectual traits he has shown. In all
the qualides needed in a states
man or ruler he is totally deficient.
He is now twenty five years old, and if any
of those qualities are ever to be developed
in him, there ought to be some sign of them
by this time. He takes, really, no active
part in the Government of his country, so
that the Council of State has to assume re-
sponsibihty, with the chance, neverthe-
less, of every now and then having their
work interfered with by brainless ass
The Kings legal successor. in case he is
dethroned or abdicatos, will be his broth
er, Prince Otho, who is twenty-five years
old. He may, however, be no better, for
their father was very commonplace man,
and their grandfather Ludwig L., was
himself eccentric, and had to abdicate
when his vagaries became disgusting and
obnoxious to the people.
From all we can learn there can be little
opposition to the removal OF the King
among the Bavarians; for he has done
nothing, during his reign of about five
years, to create particle of attachment to
MIN personally. He can have no party
worth speaking of, and the army, of course,
would take no part with him in opposition
to any decree of the Council of State. If
his brother should not be chosen as his
successor, some other Prince of the reign
ing house may be selected. Ono of these
is the Kings uncle, Prince Luitpold, aged
40, who is, however, not remarkable man,
and not equal to his brother, Prince Adal-
bert, aged AZ, and married to Spanish
Bourbon Princess, cousin of the ex-
Queen Isabella Prince Adalbert is a man
of considerable character, ard might make
a good sovereign for the Bavarians. But
almost any man of average brains would
be a great improvement over the present
imbecile occupant of the throne.
