Powder at Fires.

To the Editor Of the Press:
1 ask you to publish this communication
from the Boston Advertiser, concerning the
right and the wrong use of explosives at
fires. It contains information and sugges-
tions that ought to be read and considered by
our citizens. j. T. NJ.
Since the fire there has naturally been con-
siderable discussion with regard to the use of
powder in arresting confagration. Some
claim that its use was worse than useless, be-
cause its effect proved insufficient to level
many of the buildings where it was used; ;
while others claim that the authorities were
too slow in resorting to its use. 1t is fact
that it's use on Currier & Trott's building, at
the corner of Milk street, seemed only to
blow out the windows and crack the north
wall of the new Transcript building; in sew
eral other instances the result was similar
and its use seemed only to aggravate the
trouble: nav, even where it was successfully
used the effect was to topple the walls over
into the street and thus cucumber the move
meuts of the fiIemen. Yet it cannot be de-
MED that the use Of powder at the corner OF
Lindall and Congress and LindaIl and kilby
streets, which was the key of the position on
Sunday noon, really did SO check the advance
of the fire northward that the firemen were
able to master it.
One cause of the inefficiency of the ''blow-
ing-up'' process was in many, cases the in
sufficient quantity of the powder used; but
underlying the whole question is the fact
that while there is no surer way OF stopping
a large fire than by making broad barrier
across its path, powder in the ordinary ac-
ceptation of the term may not always be
the means best adapted for the destruction of
buildings, Many persons labor under the de-
fusion that powder is powder; and there is no
great difference between powder made for
Que purpose and that made for other pur-
poses. But really there is as much differ
ence between the different varieties of pow
der as there is between different kinds of nails.
The grand difference in powder is the diff
erence of initial pressure; some kinds of pow
der burn comparatively slowly, beginning
with small pressure and taking some lilno
to develop their maximum force; others t,,o ea,
plode, developing all their force at once, & sne nf
former are of low initial pressure tne dod u
high initial pressure; the former arc '''p'e'

RURAL BEAUTIES AND CITY BELLEs.-Coun-
try girls are not whit behind their metropoli-
an sisters in the natural elements of loyeli-
ness, but it must be conceded that the city
bellies best understand the art of preserving and
heightening their personal beauty. The most
perfect features lose half their attraction un-
tess the complexion is properly cared for, and
if the pretty girls of the rural districts wish to
compete with the 'Fairstars" OF the fashion,
able world in refined attractions, they must
pay due attention to this important point.
They ought to know, for the tact is notorious,
that uAGAs's MAGNOLIA BALM imparts to
tbo akin delicate, pearly appearance, unpro-
drce,ble by any other preparation under the
,np. No matter how the cutice may have
been roughened by exposure or diseolorsd by
tbe sun, the Balm will render it soft and plIa-
BILE, and removes every blemish.

You LIE, VILLIAN!-Any physician who now
says that Rheumatism cannot be cured, simply
lies. The wonderful effect of the Centaur Lin
iment for all flesh, bone aud Muscle ailments
upon man and beast, are too well known to ad-
init of question. 1t destroys swellings,-softens
stiff joints, soothes pain, makes the lame walk,

no article ever did sell; and it sells because it

WHEN the body and brain are well balanced,
the stomach is capable of restoring the waste
from which the system is constantly suffering;
but when the brain is large in proportion, the
stomach is incapable Of supplying it; in other
words, the expenditure is too large for the in
come. Here lies the cause of so much suffer
ing from Disease of the Heart, Liver, Stomach
and Lungs, which is produced by taxing the
Nervous System too severely; and Fellows

just as a passenger train on the Detroit

and running at the rate of twelve miles an
hour, an old man suddenly leaped from his

he brought mp ugainst the fence. In short
time he appeared at the depot, looking all
round, and then exclaimed: "What an old

Railroad Company.
SAFE BEYOND QUESTION.

SAFE BEYOND QUESTION.
1t is seldom that Mortgages upon new Railroads
are considered sufficiently safe for the investment OF
Trust Funds. 1t is only when a Railroad is earning,
net an excess of its interest obligations, with eer
tainty Of steady growth that its Bonds can be said
to be perfectly safe.
The CHICAGO, DANvILLE Il VINcENNEs RAIL
ROAD is doing this, and has this certainty. That
part Of it known the ILLINOIS DIVISION from
Chicago to Danville, 1872 Mes was finished last year.
and its gross earnings have increased from $3 OF
in December, 1871 to S6s,169 40 in October, 1872.
The net earnings for October s2s,39s g. OF at
the rate of s3i0,795 A per The total inter-
est ability upon the total issue of Bonds upon both
the Illinois and Indiana divisions is s2sO,ooO gold.
The Illinois division is therefore, earning, net
than enough to pay interest upon the entire bonded
debt upon the whole road.
THE INDIANA DIVISION
is about eighty miles in length traversing extensive
Bituminous Coal fields, and making direct {and the
shortest possibe line between Chicago and the Block
Coal district at Brazil
The Iron and other materials for tie Indiana Dlvi-
sion have all been bought and paid for in cash,
part of it is now in operation, and the entire Division
is to bstinished this and opsnad TO pronta-
bic business
The company is not in debt, and owns large and
very valuable real estate in Chicago, beside having
equipmep. of twenty-four frst-slass locomotives
and about 800 cars.
A first mortgage upon such road, at the rate OF
S1S,5O0 per mile is safe investment, and we know of
no other railroad bond at the price asked for this
that demonstrate similar value as security for
savings banks and others.
We have sold nearly two millions Of these bonds to
savings banks trust companies and the most careful
investors, and have but $T5OOOO bonds remaining.

Indian Lizards and Snakes.

Flopl we start to see large lizard on
tail, which has broken of in the erea-
lures tumble from the rafters overhead.
The severed tail wriggles about as if en-
dued with distinct life, while the late
proprietor of the phenomenon sneaks
away somewhat sluggishly, and as il
partly stunned by his tumble. There
are several more OF this kind hsn,ins
flies and insects in general about the pill
lars and posts, noticeably among them a
hand 4ome little fellow, having 1.-THE
body like a snake, forked tongue, and
two streaks Of yellow down the sides Of
his olive. green coat. The natives say
that this lizard is poisonous, SO much so
that his bite is death within the hour;
but, in point of fact, it is innocuous,
having neither poison nor fangs where
with to iuilict an injury. Not so nn
uglier customer introduced to MS now by
the gardner, who carries him dangling
across long stick. This is n young
cobra the maly has just killed in large
bed of petunias, and is recognized rs one
of family that had for some time past
taken up its abode in the stone work Of
the garden well. The paterfamilias has
been several times seen on his travels
between our garden and another fow
hundred yards distant, and is described
as a large serpent nine or ten feet long.
A late gardner whom We dismissed IN
consequence Of his feast and fast days
nnmbc ring one-third of all contained IN
the year, might have killed this reptile
many times, but would not avail himself
Of his opportunities, from superstitlous
motives, it being n part of his religious
belief that the serpent family in the well
were in some way related to him, bnt in
what Gegree of cousnship he could not
precisely explain. But he used to de-
scribe his meetings With the cobra as eX
eeedingly auspicious events. According
to his account, the snake knew his biped
cousis right well, and acknowledge the
prof. und salaams with which he was
greeted with graceful motion OF neck
and head The cobra would not move
out of the path for the man, however,
and MS in meeting of this description
some one must go to the wall, the cobra's
cousin was that person. - Chambers
