THE BALL. LAST NIGHT.-Company A,
Iron Guards, gave a grand ball at WASH
ington Hall last.night. The attendance
was not excessively large, but sufficiently
so TO make the occasion a very pleasant
one. Several large flags were very pretti-
ly arranged on the balustrade of the gal
lOry, and in front OF the drop curtain. A
temporary platform hadbeen erected on
the north side Of tho hall and was occu-
pied by Vaas' band which discourscd cx-
cellent music. AS before observed, the
guests of Company A were not so hume
rous as TO crowd the gay dancers, who
entered heartily into the festivities of the
evening. Everything passed off without
an unpleasant incident to disturb the en-.
joyment Of the Terpischorean devotees
An efficient police force was present, but
their services were not called into requi-
sition. All seemed to be in the best pos
sible humor with themselves land the
rest of mankind"

pansion," we have described explosions
that may take place without any steam, so
now we have reached class of explosions
that may occur without any boiler. They
may be thus explained: Let an open pan
Of water he kept for a long time heated
just to its boiling point Little by little,
IL loses the air which It contains in solu-
tion, and its boiling-point rises In this
way M. Donny heated water to two hum
dred and seventy-fve degrees Fahrenheit,
the attraction of the particles of water for
each other being apparently increased;
but finally it vaporiZed with explosive sud-
denness. In the same manner, when at
last the temperature of the water In the
boiler is carried to II high point, and the
water is freed from air, vaporization may
occur, not gradually, but instantly. The
open pan of water has been known to eX-
plode almost like charge of gunpowder,
ind. according to M. Donny, with fatal
'esuts. These explosions may, then, be
said to result from Temperature above
that which is due to the pressure" Mr.. j.
r. Robinson, a competent engineer, says,
in little book upon steam boiler eXplO-
sions, that all violent explosions occurring
when the fire is moderate and the steam
low may be ascribed to this cause. In
these cases the water is thrown much in
the same way as in the explosions last de-
scribed; and so much of the water may
be overheated and to such degree, that
the top of the boiler shall be shattered by
the first blow. That the water is raised
to very high temperature in these explo-
sions is shown by the fact that it some
times flashes instantly and entirely into
steam, leaving no trace of water near the
exploded boiler Mr.. Pendred, of Dublin,
experimenting on this subject, erected a
fence of boards about the place where the
boiler was allowed to burst; but, on going
to the spot Immediately afterwards, mo
traces of water could be seem"
This class of explosions may be pre-
vented by the proper use of safety-plugs,
and by other means, which we cannot
now describe We shall be content if in
this paper we have made clear the causes
for the four chief kinds of steam eXplo-
sions, and so help the great public to
strengthened conviction that all eXplO-
sions are preventable.- AppIetoB's Journal.

How to Become Good Writer.

IT is hardly possible for any one, with
out an acquaintance with our best writers,
to become popular and acceptable con-
tributor to the press. Though the same
truths need iteratng and Ieiterating to
every generation, yet if we can clothe
them with the graces of expression that
come from studying the writings of Addi-
son and Goldsmith, of Shakespeare and
Jeremy Taylor we may gain the ear and
heart of those we aim to instruct and inn
prove.
The style in which truth is clothed is
often as important as the truth itself. A
king in rags commands no homage, but
wrap him in purple and the populace
bows the knee. Clothed in the royal
robes of expression Il common thought be-
comes impressive.
The literary aspirant must consider not
only the topics upon which he is in
clned to write, but those which the public
wish to hear about. When the Lost Arts
are brought before us arrayed in all the
graces of rhetoric, the perfection of elo-
cution, and the splendOr of oratory, we
listen spell lbound. But when the voice
ceases, and we 90 back to everyday life,
what care we for the Lost Arts? Wewish
to know how to double our trade, to inn
prove our lands, TO meet our obligations
to raise our children TO rise higher than
ourselves in the scale of wisdom and vir-
tue He who can most skillfully minister
to these universal wants will be our most
popular writer In putting thoughts upon
paper the young writer may, with safety,
follow two or three rules.
First. Let each sentence have one posi-
tive meaning, and one only
Second. Let that meaning be expressed
with clearness, force and elegance.
Third. Where the subject admits it, en-
ploy illustration, allusion, quotation, TO
enforce and adorn what you say. There
is a world of meaning in that declaration
of st. Mark; "Without a parable spake
he not unto them" Generalities i'm writ
ing or speaking fall to the ground, but let
them be put in the form Of Il story, an il
proverb, maxim, a picture,
and they are like those ancient spears
which had hook as well as a point; they
