EXTRAORDINARY CITATIONS OF A
STEAM BOILER. The Chicago Times of
the 10Th says:
The explosion at Wahl's glue factory
on last Sunday afternoon was in every re-
spect a most peculiar one. The boiler
was one of the perpen dicular kind, with
its base resting on solid masonry. 1t
was fifteen feet high and AZ inches in diam
eter. 1t was made of the best boiler iron,
strongly riveted, and was, in the opinion
of skilled mechanics, in excellent order.
At 2:3O o'clock occurred the explosion
The boiler was lifted from its fastenings
and hurled bodily through space to dis
lance Of nearly AGO feet. It passed up
ward along a large brick chimney, made
its exit through the root the engine room,
went straight up distance OF probably
$50 feet, then toward the west and toward
the foremost of large brigantine lying
in the creek. The lower end of the boil
Ell struck the extreme upper end OF the
topmast with sufficient force to cause it
to lose its balance, but not hard enough
to break the timber Then the large
mass of iron began slowly to revolve,
and at the same time began its descent,
until almost in an instant it struck the
earth across the river, with such force
that one end was buried in the clay dis
lance of four feet. 1t was in this condi-
ton, standing almost perpendicular, the
boiler was found by Mr.. Wahl's employees.
Apparently it was uninjured. Yesterday
workmen dug it up and placed it on some
timbers. Then an examination was made
of it, and barring the absence of the fur
mace door and slight break on the in
side lining, there is absolutely nothing
the matter with the boiler.

1t is matter of very serious regret that
the Amnesty bill should have failed of pas
sage before the adjournment of Congress.
1t is measure that should have been en-
acted long ago, freely, heartily, and not
grudgingly, and which would have done
wonders towards establishing better
state of feeling in the South, where there
is need of the cultivation of such feeling.
The delay, and perhaps consequently the
defeat of the bill in the Senate, is due
mainly to the hostility Of Senator Morton,
who is adverse to the admission to the
Senate of Gov. Vance, of North Carolina,
and succeeded in carrying an amendment
providing that it shall not apply to rebels
already elected to office. The amend
ment called for concurrence by the House,
which the adjournment for the holidays
prevented.

Olive Logan's Marriage.

In Ninth street, near Sixth avenue,
stands handsome house, the joint prop
erty Of Writ Sykes and Olive Logan, and
an interesting ceremony-the marriage of
these persons-took place there yesterday
morning. The company was small, but
select, and the whole affair an uncom-
monty pleasant one to all present. Pre-
parations for the marriage had been on
foot for several weeks, and Invitations
had been sent to many notabilitics, only a
few Of whom, however, were able to be on
hand. Robert Collyer, of Chicago, per-
formed the important ceremony, which
differed from similar ceremonies general
ly only in the omission of the insignificant
word "obey." If Olive had been asked
to utter that word it would have been as
troublesome to her as ''Amen' was to
Macbeth after he had murdered his royal
guest. Following the illustrious exam pie
| of Lucy Stone, she declines to have her
own name merged in that of her hus-
band, and will continue to be known,
publicly at least, as Olive Logan. l sup
pose there is no improperly in stating
here, what hundreds of persons in New
York have long known, that Olive Logan
ceased to be Olive Logan several years
ago. 1t must be ten or twelve years since
she became the wife of gentleman, con-
nected, in literary way, with both the
press and the stage, but believe their re-
lations did not continue happy, and at any
rate Il separation took place. The hus-
band went to Paris, and when | last heard
of him he was still there. OF course his
wife must have obtained divorce, which,
under the circumstances. could not be DIFF
ticult. Her present husband has been her
business agent for some time, and will
continue to act in that capacity. They
are believed to be well adapted to each
other and all their friends wish them
many prosperous and happy years. New

taking as this should he encouraged. There
has bven NO good society of this character held

OF tHat society, how much We used to enjoy lis
meetings, and how much good they did US in

shall We not encourage the present society as
much as lies within our power by using our
Influence to get our young men to attend-
thus, perhaps, Withdrawing our sons from the
temptations lurking about our streets in the
shape of saloons, billiards, bowling alleys and
card tubl,s, and may be still worse places
of resort for them. We understand after
they get well started they intend if they are
able, to have reading room for the scciety's
use, containing periodicals and newspapers of
the day. This giving every member access to
news which will enable him to give better de-
bales enlarge his fund ol knowledge. Every.
thing in this society is done according to par
