sued proclamation recommending that on
Thursday, the 30th of November, the people
meet in their "respective' places of worship
and snake the usual acknowledgements to
Almighty God for the blessings he has con-
ferred' during the past year. 1t is to be

In the distribution of the national bank
currency among the states, Illinois has four
dollars for each person; Ohio, six dollars ;
Missouri, three dollars Louisiana, one dollar
Alabama, twenty-five cents, and Mississippi,
fee cents, while Massachusetts has MiTy.c'9M
dollars. 1t is not strange that the south and
west have not the means to move their crops,
and that Massachusetts has money to lend and

We were not mistaken when we expressed
our opinion of the honorable impulses of our
neighbor of the Republican, and of his mani.
fest desire to have good and honest men elect
ed to Office, and of his real disgust at being
placed in the position of being called upon
to support man for congress whom he knows
to he unworthy, over one who his own personal
knowledge informs him, is the very man whom,
the exegencies of the times require to stay
the flood of official corruption which in
these latter days has overwhelmed the public
service and threatens the destruction Of our
republican institutions. No one appreciates
this more keenly than the editor of the Rtpub-
lican, or deplores it more sincerely. Infuenc.
ell by such impulses, and hoping in his heart
of hearts that Mr.. Leland may b. elected, it
is manifest that the struggle within his Writ
uous breast is very great to determine wheth-
er he shall assert his manhood and vote to
suit himself, or soil his fingers and do violence
to his own conscience by voting for Mr.. Snapp,
who he feels and knows ought not TO be trust
ed in the smallest matter much less in so
great trust as a seat in congress. The re-
suit with our neighbor will probably be that
he will not vote at all, though possibly he
may, when he sees the masses of his party
voting for the man whom all like him &C.
knowledge to be above reproach,-rlse to the
plane Of duty, and vote with the great body

squad who are promised office by Mr., Snapp.

Numerous other illustrations Of how IA.

but these are enough TO show that such
sources of danger are worthy of attention
The only safety lies in perfect cleanliness
and constant care. Several cases Of spon-
taneous combustion have occurred In
Wholesale and retail drug stores in this
city to my own knowledge. Numerous
cases occur from rats taking matches into
their nests and nibbling the phosphorus
off the ends. Sometimes the matches ig-

is remedy for all existing evils, is also
the main one tending to the suppression
OF ffes1th careless handling of open
lights, matches, children playing with fires,
reading in bed, airing linen before the
fire, improper gas fitting, raking out fire
before retiring to rest, faulty hues, stove,
steam, and hot air pipes, placing hot ashes
in wooden vessels, throwing cigar stumps
in wooden spittoons with sawdust in them,
and the improper construction. of smoke
stacks. The bagging of steam pipes often
take fire, and dropping off ignites any
timber that may be near Placing goods
too near gas burners in show windows,
fldes taking Ere, the use of explosive oils
in lamps, and many others could be added
to the foregoing list of fires caused by
thoughtlessness. A remedy for this might
be found by owners, at short intervals, ex-
amining their premises and stock, and
strongly enforcing obedience to code of
rules adapted to each particular case.

How a Boiler Bursts.

THE Baltimore american, in speaking
of the explosion of STERN fire engine in
that city few days since, says:
The whole theory of boiler explosions
appears TO be involved in inexplicable
mystery. In the late case of Pindell
against Sterling and Eherns, tried III the
Superior Court of Baltimore city, before
Judge Dobbin, intelligent engineers were
examined as experts, and they differed
greatly in their opinions and conclusions
as to the immediate cause that induces the
rupture of boiler.
Captain Wheeler, an engineer in the
United States Revenue service, gave the
generally received theory, but other en-
gineers of equal eminence differed from
his conclusions IN toto. A synopsis of
Captain Wheeler's testimony appeared in
the American at the time it was given,
and embodied about all that the expert
ments of men of science have given us
upon this subject. 1t amounted to about
this
When the water is allowed to get low
in the boiler the plates become red-hot,
and the tensive power of the iron is
greatly diminished. When the cold wa
Ter is turned into the boiler, the instant il
touches the heated surface it assumes the
spheroidal state, and dances about in little
globules until the temperature is red uced
to certain degree, when suddenly the
globules burst, and the whole mass is con.
verted into super-heated steam, the ex-
pansive power of which is immense. The
sudden impingement of this mass of steam
upon the piates, already weakened by the
oVer-heating, fractures the iron, and an
explosion is the result
