pansion," we have described explosions
that may take place without any steam, so
now we hayereached q class of explosions
that may occur without any boiler. They
may be thus explained: Let an open pan
of water be kept for a long time heated
just to its boiling point. Little by little,
it loses the air which it contains in solu-
tion, and its boiling point rises. In this
way nj. Donny heated water to two hun
dred and seventy-five 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 a 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,
and. according to NJ. Donny, with fatal
'esults. These explosions may, then, be
said to result from temperature above
that which is due to the pressure. Mr.. j.
X. 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 a
strengthened conviction that all explo-
sions are preventable.-Alnpteton's Journal.

littie chap in the chair must have been a

leave the whole scene to your imagina-

laughed till the tears ran down into his
sandy mustache And such outlaws, both
bass and treble, as rose in the back seat !
What the three little fellows who furnish
ed the fun underwent Heaven only can
know. never had anything so knock
the bottom out of my self-respect before
nor since. To this day it makes me squirm

think of it suddenly. ,-r ----
And when, after scraping off the lather,
my lip still showed black as jet, how they
laughed againl The master made Harry
go over me second time, Then shaved
him, and lastly he shaved Tom. That
wound up the shaving part.
"Now," said the master, coming to
the table, ''go and wash off that ink"
80 1t isn't ink, sir" Harry ventured to
say;
'I-I don't know what it is, sir''
"You don't know what it is? Where
did you get it? Where did it come
from?"
"New York, sir"
New York! Have you got any more
of it?"
Yes, sir"
Let me see it."
Harry went to his jacket, and, drawing
from his breast pocket the yellow envel-
ope, took out the package of Com
pound before the wondering school.
The master took it. ''OhoT he ex-
claimed. "a whisker preparation Black
ed your lips, did it? Served you right
Take friends adv1ces let Nature work
Now go wash it off. "
ut won't come off, SIR" said Harry.
"Won't come off,"
No, sir We've tried it, hard"
Let me try. Come here"
Thereupon he caught up the lather-box
and soaped us again; then, getting out
his handkerchief, gave our poor lips an
other most unmerciful securing, going at
it again and again. all the harder, when
he saw he hadn't started it. He didn't
like to gtre an on it, but finally had to.
Take your seats, you young scampsr'
he cried out, at last, nearly exhausted
with his useless toll ''Never saw such
stuff You're marked, / guess, for une

We were marked in more senses than
one. You know how, when red ribbon
is tied to young ROSTERS neck, all the
other roosters in the flock will run him
down and give him no rest as long as it's
on him. That was our case at school for

DR. DANIEL TooKE gives reasons for
believing that thought strongly directed
to any part tends to increase its vascular
ity and sensibility that thought strongly
directed away from any part lessons its
sensibility, and that there is no sensation,
whether general or special, excited by
agents acting upon the body from with
out which cannot also be excited from
within by cerebral changes affecting the
sensory ganglia.

admiral, who rose to his high
station by his own steady ex-
ertions, used to be fond Of re-
lating that, on first leaving a
humble lodging to join his
ship as a midshipman, his
landlady presented him with a
Bible and a guinea, saying,
"God bless you and prosper
you, my lad; and, as long as
you live, never suffer yourself
to be laughed out ofyour mon

advice through life, and had
reason to rejoice that he did so;

The Jews Against Grant.

the Jews are arraying them
selves against Grant. Mr..
Landsberg, commenting on
Grants famous order eXpelling
the Jews from the military
lines, in a recent letter, says:
"What Grant has done
against us we all but too well
know, he having issued that
infamous order. banishing the
Jews as a class from his dis
trict, because, forsooth, a few
Of them were petty Traders
But his own father, the mean
est and most plebian trader of
them all, he permitted without
let or hindrance to make large
contracts with cotton trading
firms in Cincinnati to buy cot
ton within Gen. Grants lines,
for which he was to get a full
share of the profits, for no bet
ter consideration than that his
son Gen. Grant, would pass
them free into lines to pur-
chase the said cotton, and hav-
ing done so, gave them safe
conduct back again"
DR.. Wise, the eminent jew
ish divine of Cincinnati, has
recently written a powerful let
ter against the Radical candi-
dates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. In speaking
of the candidate for the Vice.
Presidency, DR.. Wise says
"Senator Wilson, of Massa,
chusetts, is the man who in
1861, in the most dangerous
time, stated in open Senate
speaking on the conduct ot
Benjamin: He is the son o.
that race which stoned the
prophets and crucified the Re

The boys are getting to be a

there is no knowing how sooh
they may rise and exterminate

thentlc source, being statistics
furnished by Eastern manu-
facturers, upon the basis of
which many mills are now be-
ing erected in the South: The
cost of a complete cotton fac
tory, with a capacity of two
thousand yards of A stand
ard sheetings is $4,000. To
operate such a mill will re-
quire an additional capital of
5,000.-The total cost of rum
ming such an establishment is
s1.234; the total receipts s15-
90 per week, s13,S00 per year,
which is thirty per cent on the
investment. These are bona
fide statistics, entirely reliable
and upon the basis laid down
in them a cotton factory can
be erected and successfully
operated.
A cotton factory would give
employment to three or four
hundred workmen, thus at
tracing to the city a valuable
class of population, creating
demand for houses, and land
lots as residences, enhancing
the value of real estate, and
proving an advantage and
blessing to the city in many
other ways. Thirty per cent per
annum cannot be made upon
money invested in banking,
loaned out at interest, or used
in real estate speculations, ex-
cept in very rare instances.
Invested in a cotton factory,
however, the return of this
high per centnm is certain,
year in and year out. We sub
nit these facts to gentlemen
who have money they desire
to invest profitably.

fallibility is no attribute of
those whose organ ofutterance

Of those who make their

ideas and speculations of news

be oracular. From the ma
ture of things journalists must
often comment in haste on
matters of receat origin or de-

reflection is not always offered.
The writer who knows the
scope and extent of his duties
must often hesitate where an
other, less judicious, weuld
plunge into an expression
which may possibly be- right,
but which by all chances is
more likely to be wrong.
For our own part we do not
dictate the opinions which men
must have. We speak our own
opinions without reserve, a
privilege which we should not
value if it were denied to 9TH
ers. We note public occur
rences and we make comments
upon them, not with the slow
and very toilsOme care of the
chronicler and historian, but
with the pen which must paint
things as they rise and as they
pass.
So in political matters, we
receive and comprehend facts,
situations, theories and circum-
stances and make such COM
ments upon them as occur to
us while making them the
themes of reflection. But in
doing this we merely exercise
the right of free thought,
which would be no right at all
if denied to others. When we
state what we think of a fact

are far from declaring that
