A Heavy Blast.

The heaviest blast known to experts
in quarrying occurred on Saturday last
at the Conshohoken Stone Company, on
the south side of the Schuylkil1, below
Swedesburg. The face of the cliff was
139 feet long. and back from its edge,
at distance of 81 feet, the rock was
drilled along its, entire length. Small
blasts were made till the rock was
opened to depth of 90 feet, and after
trial blast on Friday, which failed, on
Saturday this mammoth cliff of nearly
100000 cubic feet was hurled from its
base, forty-seven kegs of powder being
employed in the operation. The ap-
pearance of the cliff subsequent to the
blast battles description. Huge bould-
ers, each in itself a cliff, lay piled in
awful confusion, and giving good idea
of the terrific effects produced by an
earthquake. As much stone has been
thrown out by this blast as will keep
the full force of the hands in employ
ment until next August.-PhiLadekphia

A Strange BedfellOw.


There appeared, few days since, at
clearinghouse in the southern sec
ton of the city, natty-looking young
man and engaged board, but was in
formed by the landlady that, owing to
pressure upon her accommodations,
she would be obliged to room the new
conner with one of her best boarders un-
til such time as a spare room could be
had. To this the young man assented,
but not without some reluctance, he
stating that he preferred room to him
self, but, under the circumstances, he
would room with the best boarder" for
few days. The first night that the
new boarder retired to rest he did SO in
the dark, and insisted on sleeping next
to the wall, and it was noticed by the
best boarder'' that his chum occupied
but little of the bed, sleeping, as it
were, upon the rail. In the morning
the newcomer complained of feeling
unwell, and did not leave his bed until
after his bedfellow had vacated the
room. For three nights this same pro-
gramme was followed, and on the fourth
morning a discovery was made by the
chambermaid which created consider
able excitement in the house, and
which, when made known to the ~ best
boarder," paralyzed him with astonish-
ment. On the morning in question, the
chambermaid entered the room of the
new boarder, just as he was about ad-
justing his clothing and discovered that
the "he'' was "she." She begged
not to be exposed, but the chamber
maid being unable to retain within her
self such rich joke, especially after
what had befallen the best boarder," !"
disclosed the secret which she had dis
covered, and, upon the landlady going
in quest of the bogus young man, it was
found that she had fled the house.
Since then it has been discovered that
several articles of jewelry and clothing

Good temper, with the majority of
mankind, is dependent upon good

Criminal Trials.

The cost of criminal trials is becoming
a matter of very serious moment, of
which fact the Wharton case is recent
and striking illustration. Before Mrs.
Wharton was accused of the murder of
Ketchum, she was in the enjoyment of
a competency; to-day she is penniless,
and must depend on her own exertions
for the support of herself and daughter,
every cent of her small fortune having
been absorbed by the expenses incident
to her defence. Certainly if she is
innocent of the crime charged against
her, as we are bound to suppose that she
is from the verdict of the jury, this is a
very great hardship and injustice. On
the other hand the expense of the State
was very considerable. There were
sixty-six witnesses summoned and fifty
six examined, and for this and other
accounts, the total cost of the prosecu-
ton was $780, Justice is really one
of the dearest commodities in the

The Golden Now.

BY T. BUCHANAN READ.
The earth is loud with discontentments NUT
By foolish mouths--the selfish and the vain;
And yet world of agony unuttered
Lies behind lips that never tell their pain.
The voiceIess dark is loaded with repentance.
With sorrow, Conscience looks its silent sentence
Against the culprit actions of the past.
And countless eyes, aglaze with hot reflections.
Stare down the highway which their feet have
Where stand afar the ghostly recoIIections,
Like frowning statues not to be o'erthroWn-
While fancy sees them rise in retributions.
A spectre file along the future way,
To blight the hopes and chill the resolutions.

the explosion of one of these indigesti-

over the face and neck of a boy three
years of age, and causing his death.

father, referring to his friend, who was
tall and lank, ''If the cars run off the

hope they'll be Mr.. HIS" " What's that

she added, artlessly, "Aunt May says

A Memphis Romance.

Memphis has romance. Once upon
time, very many years ago, John E.
Perkins was schoolboy of eighteen, in
Kentucky. He had a bosom friend
who in a fit of passion deliberately killed
another young man. Upon Perkins's
remorse at having brought about the
death of his friend, Perkins took a
solemn oath that he would never again
testify in a case where his evidence
might cause the infiction of the extreme
penalty of the law. Some time since
he witnessed murder in Memphis,
and, on Monday last, was brought be-
fore the court as the principal witness
against the murderer. True to his
oath, he refused to give word of testi-
mony, and was sent to Jail, where he
says he will remain forever rather than
testify

Guests Of the Heart.

Soft falls through. the gathering twilight
The rain from the dripping caves
And stirs with a tremulous rustic, =
The dead and the dying leaves;
While afar. in the midst of the shadows,
hear the sweet voices of bells
Come borne on the wind of the autumn,
That ftfully rises and swells.
They call and they answer each other
They answer and mingle again
~ Make harmony still in their strain;
As the voices of sentinels mingle
In mountainous regions of snow.
Till from hilltop to hilltop q chorus
Floats down to the valleys below.
The shadows. the freight of even,
ooms bnens ash Ias ran sos isR SroDP1.
y Sweet thoughts of q shadowy time;
The slumberous sense of seclusion,
From storm and intruders aloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter of rain on the roof.
When the spirit goes forth in its yearnings
To take all its wanderers home;
Or sfaE IN the regions i h OF fancy, n y6am
quietly sit by the freight,
The freight SO bright and so warm
For know that those only who love me
VIII seek me through shadow and storm.
But should they be absent this evening.
Should even the household depart
Deserted. I should not be lonely;
There still would be guests In my heart.
The faces of friends that cherish,
The smile, and the glance, and the tone,
Will haunt mo wherever 1 wander,
And thus am never alone.
With those who have left far behind them
The joys and the sorroWs of time
Who sing the sweet songs of the angels
In q purer and holier climei
Then darkly, o evening of autumn,
= Your rain and your shadows may fall;
Ny loved and my lost ones you bring me-
My heart holds feast with them all.

The Baltic and Mediterranean Seas.

Of the two great inland seas of Eu-
rope, the Baltic contains far less salt
than the Mediterranean, its compare
tive freshness being attributed to the
relatively larger area of land drained by
the rivers which flow into it, and also to
the slower evaporation which occurs in
the latitude ofits drainage basin, as com
pared with that of the Mediterranean.
According to DR.. II. A. Meyer, of Kiel,
who has Just written an account %,o! !, OF Of re re,
of land which it drains is four and a
half times as large as its surface, while
the region which the Mediterranean
drains measures only double the super
fetal extent of that sea.

Novel Mode of Fishing.

A man near Alton, ILL.,, recently took
a wagon load of fish in the following
manner: He cut two holes in the ice,
some distance apart, and pumped the
rent into the other. This created a
vacuum at the first opening, and an ar
tificial current in the water under the
ice, setting toward the hole where the
pump was in operation. The fish in the
lake were SO benumbed by the cold as
to be powerless to resist the current,
hence they were foated directly into
the opening of the ice, where they were
scooped out by the thousand.

The PennsyiyaHla Reserves 10
Receive bounty.

WASHINGTON, July I'm the matter of
the decision ofthe Second Auditor, Hon. E.
B. French refused to allow the claims of the
members of the regiments of the Pennsyl-
vania Reserves for the 500 bounty, under
the provisions of the act Of Congress- of April
%, 1872, stating that the act referred to ap-
piled only to men who were enrolled in the
United States service prior to July %, 1861.
An appeal was made from this decision to
the Second Controller, Hon. j. NJ Drod-
head, who, on careful examination into
the facts, reversed the decision of the Second
Auditor, and has decided that, as the regi-
ments of the Pennsylvania Reserves were
enlisted in the State service prior to July %,
1861, and were mustered into the United
States service prior to August 6, 1861,
bounty will be allowed and paid to men en-
lifting in the Pennsylvania Reserve rcgi-
