THE Philadelphia correspondent Of The
Richmond Wing, gives us the following un-
pleasant information about the Shenandoah
Valley railroad:
"Your Valley readers, whose hearts
have been set on the early completion of
the Shenandoah Valley road, have again re-
ceived shock, and tits believed here that
the thing will never again be resusciated,
at least not under its present patronage.
1t was told at Richmond, with some conf
dence, as you may remember that the
Pennsylvania railroad company was to
endorse the bonds of the Shenandoah Val.
ley company, and the ubiquitous" Mr..
Scott was made its president, and Mr..
Jonas Walker, railroad dealer, its vice.
president, and everything looked very
pleasant. But little speck has shaded the
horizon of tho Shenandoah Valley, and it
has been discovered that three millions
and half of its bonds have lain in the
vaults of the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany, awaiting the endorsement of that
company, and which Mr.. Edgar Thompson
has ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS refused and
"still doth refuse, to the great damage" of
the contractors, who swarm around head
quarters as bees around hive. Rumor
has it that Mr.. Thompson did not pleased
Mr.. Scott great deal by this refusal, and
that Mr.. Scott did not fail plainly to indi-
cate his displeasure. Yet "the fgure.head"
has remained intractable. Scott has re-
tired from the presidency of the Shenan-
dab Valley railroad. and since work has
been suspended thereon the vice-president
has gone to California in his private inter-
ests.
duplication has been made to the Phil
adelphia and Reading road to take the
Shenandoah Valley railroad under its care
and indorse its construction bonds, and
the proposition is under serious advise
nient. Should it be acceded to, the line
of the road will be changed so as to pass
through Martinsburg instead OF Sheppards-
town. Of course can give you no idea
of the result of this application hard
times may compel delay-yet the rivalry
between the Reading and Pennsylvania
road may do much to make promise of
help. But there is little reliance to be
placed in railroadmen."

Giant Powder.

Chemistry is at a loss to estimate the
power of nitro glycerine, and yet this new
agent of death is twenty per cent. stronger
That our readers may be enabled to form
faint conception of the danger of such a
preparation we will give brief descrip-
ton OF the process by which nitro glycer-
inc, giant, and Hercules powder are sup
posed to be manufactured, and of the
extreme caution necessary in their manu-
facture
In the manufacture of nitro glycerine,
two tubes, each about a quarter of an inch
in diameter and six inches in length, lead
into single tube of double their capacity
but OF the same length. Nitric acid is in.
uoduced into one and sulphuric acid into
the other of these small tubes. The large
tube contains glycerine. The two acids
are then forced quite gradually into the
glycerlne, and the chemical combination
thus forms an explosive of incalculable
power. So powerful and dangerous is
this article that not an ounce Of it is al
lowed in the mandatory, while this little
tube, six inches long and half an inch in
diameter, is being filled, and this tube is
kept constantly swathed in ice during
the process. To make giant powder, this
nitro-gl ycerine is allowed to drip upon a
clay (similar to meerschaum) imported
from Germany. The clay is the only per
feet absorbent of nitro glycerine known
AS Hercules powder is darker, it is be,
lieved that that explosive is manufactured
by the same process, charcoal, an imper,
feet absorbent, being used instead of said
quality of clay. If, in the manufacture of
nitro-g ycerine, strong tube is kept
swathed in ice, and quantity of the liquid
only six inches in length and half an inch
in diameter is allowed in the building at
the same time, no wonder that General
Won Bokkelen, with his preparation
twenty per cent. more powerful, remarked
that he would have it handled thermom

Everybody knows how persevering and
persistent all peddlers are, and especially
tinware peddlers. AS class they are the
most persevering mortals that ever
traversed the streets of city. Now one
of those itinerant vendors of tinware who,
some years ago, had made certain New
England city his base corporations, scour-
ed the place so thoroughly and hung on"
so perseveringly that he had become to be
regarded as pest.
At one house in particular, owned and
occupied by a maiden lady who kept a
single servant, he had met with constant
rebuffs and assurances that nothing was
wanted; but as it was a boast of his that
he never gave up calling at a place until
he sold them something, he continued his
troublesome visits until the lady of the
house was at her wits end how to stop
them.
Now it so happened that this lady, who
was chess-player and passionately fond
of the game, was excessively annoyed by
the everlasting peddler, who had pushed
past the servant girl, as he had repeatedly
done before, and stood before the mistress,
and with oily tongue, regardless of the APP
parent fact that the lady was deeply inter
ested in the game of chess, tried his ut
most to force sale of his goods.
To the lady's decided mol" repeated
several times, he simply rehearsed the
catalogue of his wares again and again,
until patience on her part ceased to be a
virtue, and she wondered if her favorite
came, which Franklin said taught SO
MANY things, would not show her how his
impertinence could be perpetually check
ed without resorting to harshness.
At length an idea occurred to her,
which she shrewly put into execution
Interrupting the peddler in the middle
of tin panegyric, she inquired, "Have
Won any tin wash boilers %
eyes, ma'am," and as it was bitter
cold dav. he did not invite the lady out to
examine his wares, but fastened away to
get the samples He deposited them on
the floor in front of the lady, who next
asked if he had tin pans. Away he hur-
ried to bring the pans, and chuckling at
the success of his zeal, muttered, There
is nothing like sticking. If a man wants
70 succeed, he must stick. Hereafter, my
| motto shall be 'stick'!'
After the pans were deposited, the lady
next called for colanders. Away went
| the peddler to get the articles, saying to
himself, my motto is 'stick!'
The lady kept on enumerating articles
