Some of the incidents attending the explo-

golden hair, the side of her head cut badly
and her arms bruised. This was Mrs. Mary
Mccall, aged ~, the wife Of a respectable
tradesman, residing at 537 West Thirty fifth
street. She had gone out for a trip to Staten
Island with her little daughter Mary, beau

and intended to ride out to Richmond on the
steam cars from Staten Island. She was blown
into the air, and fell between some timbcrs
Her beautiful child was found by the police
terribly scalded, in the wreck and ruin of the

her lips met those of her poor child, and al

them around her mothers neck. The doctors.
hardened by the sight of suffering, wept, and
many a man of nerve turned away unstrung
at the scene of simple pathos.
An old lady, nearly sixty years Of age, was
recognized by group of daughters and
grand daughters, who fell to wild weepings
and lamentations. daughter, a large,
strong Irish woman, cried, ooh, there's me
mother--me poor mother!" and then turning
piteously TO the grandchildren, "Oh, Mary!
Oh, Catherine, grandmother is dead! Oh,

Constantinople is to be connected with the

Bleeding from the nose can be cured it is
said by rapidly chewing piece of paper. An
observer asserts that he has seen the remedy
tried quite frequently, and always with sue
cess. Doubtless any substance would answer
the same purpose as paper, the stoppage of
the flow of blood being caused by the rapid
motion of the jaws. andthe counter action of
muscles and arteries connecting the jaw and
nose. Physicians say that placing small roll
of paper or muslin above the front teeth, un-
der the upper lip, and pressing hard on the
same, will arrest bleeding by checking the
passage of the blood through the arteries
leading to the nose
