THE New York Express says: Acct
dents of a painful and fatal character
occur in the Hoosac Tunnel at short in
tervals, through the use of nitro-glyce-
rine. These accidents may be the re-
suit of carelessness or Of ignorance, or of
both combined. They are too frequent
to be continued, whatever the cause,
and measures should be taken to put a
stop to them. If nitro-glyccrine cannot
be employed in works of usefulness and
Importance, without tolerably sure
risk of killing dozens of men every day
or two, something less effective, but
safer, had better be employed instead. !"

telegraph I'm Mexico.

II is stated that the telegraph line,
from Mer, near the Rio Grande, to Ger
ralvo, is now completed, and is the COM
mencement of wire running through
Mexico, and forming connec-
ton with the lines of the United States.
The Legislatures of the States of Duran
go and Snaloa have just authorized a
lottery, the profits of which, $4,000, are
to be employed in building telegraph
line from Mazatlan, on the Pacific side,
to the cities of Sinaloa and Durango
The Federal Government of Mexico,
some time ago, abolished all kinds of
lotteries except those whose proceeds
should be destined for works of public
utility, and the profits Of which should
not exceed one fifth of the amount
raised. Under these exceptions the
States of Durango and Sinaloa have es-
tablished the aforementioned lotteries
1t is also stated that the Federal Gov
eminent of Mexico has just published a
decree, offering donation of $25 for
each kilometer of telegraph laid be-
tween TampiaO and Matamoras. This
assistance, which amounts to $40 a mile,
does not seem to offer any substantial
encouragement for building such Il line
1t is also stated that steamer recently
brought to Vera Cruz 100 packages Of
material .ror buiding the telegraph line
between that city and Minatitlan.

every year more popular in the Hudson.
The boat is placed on runners and is
driven along over the ice with great
velocity, by the force of the wind acting
ON the sails. An ice.boat from Pough-

days ago, with fast railroad train, and
with the smooth ice and the wind in its
favor made over mile a minute.

A SAD instance of how much many
people suffer, who are supposed by the
world at large to be in comfortable cir

Sunday. A young lawyer, supposed to
be doing good business, and who had
many friends, was discovered to be in
sane, the cause being that for four days
he had not tasted food.

New BLEACHING PRocEss.-In a new
bleaching process, the wool or silk, hav-
ing been first cleaned in the usual way,
is to be stepped for about an hour in
solution of equal parts, by weight, of
oxalic acid and chloride Of sodium in
clear, cold water, after which it is re-
moved from the bath and allowed to
drain, and is then washed in the ordin-
airy manner. The same bath may be
used repeatedly by adding at each fresh
charge of wool or silk little more OK
Ollie acid and chloride of sodium. The
materials, whilst in the bath, should be
stirred, and in the case Of woven fab
RIGS they should be passed through roll
ers. Should it be required to impart a
blue color to the materials, the color
employed should be first dissolved, fill
tered and strained, and then introduced
into the mordant bath, in proportion
varying with the shade required

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 9, 1871.
A TRIP TO RICHMOND.

from conviction that the task of bottling But
Ter was about as much as one newspaper would
care to carry aud report during one week There
being no news here and other topics of interest
being Scant, l have concluded that few notes
of what saw and heard in the Old Dominion
might not be out of place. AS my business was
of a political character, | must in the main
confne myself to that subject.
Richmond found improving. More business
activity was apparent Many new buildings,
chiefly residences of the better class, or on out
lying streets for the poorer, were visible. The
great gaps, just off the Main street, which the
confederate con1agration made, are still to be
seen-in many instances at least. But though
the huge warehouses so characteristic of the
slave period, have no PheniX-like career, it is
quite as evident that, as in all other cases of
emancipation, the industries, &C., which be-
long to communities alive to free and varied in
dividualities, are coming along swiftly
to more than fill the void. Retail stores
are much more numerous and prosper
Gus than of old. A great demand ex-
lists for small tenements. The colored people are
exerting themselves in scores of ways to become
other than dependents Some of this ndiyidu-
allied activity is undoubtedly due TO the fact
that the field laborers have largely transferred
themselves to this city, as well as to Others
through the south. | have not the table pub
lished recently by the census bureau of city pop-
uations, but, if my memory is not treacherous,
it is over $4,000, while in 1860 it was but 81 80,

which increase must he from among the colored
people. In fact they number about 10000
more, for in 1860 Richmond had IA, 275 coored
persons; it now has 23,11O. am assured that
there is marked improvement among them in

ONE OF BARNUMs TRICKs.-The Buffalo
Express relates that when Barnum's exhibition
was in that city, a little incident occurred which
shows that the veteran Snowman has not aban-
doned the art of trickery in which he formerly
proved himself so great proficient. Being
devoted and earnest advocate of total abstinence
from all intoxicating drinks, the managers of
the Sunday afternoon temperance prayer meet
ing invited him to address the meeting, and for
this occasion procured ST. James hall, the bet
ter to accommodate the crowds that it was
thought would be collected together by the use
of his popular name. OF course the hall was
full to overlooking, and the spea er was in his
happieSt mood, and doubtless felt that the
good temperance people had given him fine
opportunity to advertise himself and his show
for the following day. His anecdotes and
happy hits that he knows so well how to in
troduce into speech, called out frequent APP
plause, and finally one fellow became quite
bosterous and troublesome, when Barnum,
fixing his eyes upon him, addressed him
personally, and accused him of being under the
influence of liquor, and informed him that if he
did not keep quiet he must either go out of the
hall or come upon the stage to be seen by the
audience. Without further solicitation the
noisy, drunken fellow left his seat and staggered
upon the stage, when Barnum at once assured
him he must be seated and keep quiet He
then directed the attention of his auditors to the
subject before them, and assured them that he
was living illustration of the arguments he
had been presenting. The victim swung his
arms wildly about, and made the usual demon
STATIONS of an inebriate, when the officers of
the meeting deemed it prudent to remove him.
and he was quietly conducted to the green room
Those who have read "Barnum's book" will not
be surprised to learn that this "frightlul exam
pie of inebriation" was seen driving one of the
wagons next morning, as the show made its
exit from the town.
