Blown to Atoms.

The terrible effects of the explosion of
six cans of nitro-glycerine $50 pounds)
near Parkers Landing, Pa, by which
young man named Osborn was
blown to atoms, are thus described
Osborn started from Emleton to
Petrolia, where he was to fill several
orders. When he reached Parker it
was too dark to proceed further with
any degree of safety, and ne was per-
suaded by relative to remain over
night. He was called early in the
morning, and obtaining horse and
blackboard, started from Parker over the
toughest road that was possible, al
though it is conjectured he went that
way to make time, as it is the nearest
route. He had crossed Bear creek and
was over hundred feet up the slope of
the hill when the explosion occurred.
Osborn's body was terribly mangled.
The head and body, from above the
hips, and portions of the arms were
thrown over 800 feet from the scene.
Entrails, parts of clothing and debris
could be seen hanging in the tops of
the trees though they were over
100 feet high. The head and por-
tons of the stomach were found in Bear
creek, over 100 feet distant. The right
hand was found over half mile away,
and in a radius of mile numerous other
portions were found, but it would be ut
terly impossible to distinguish them
from portions of the horse, whose body
was scattered in all directions by the
terrific conclusion. The shoes were
torn from the horses feet. which may
be termed the most singular incident of
the disaster. The rear of the buck
board and parts of the structure were
found scattered over hill and ravines,
and could not be distinguished except
by previous knowledge of what it was.
The trees were stripped of foliage for
rods around, many of them being
barked. The excavation of the road
caused by the explosion was four to five
feet deep, and most of it was from solid
rock.

Teachers ought to be persons full of
information. They ought to be persons
of broad culture. The teacher who
simply knows his textbooks, is always
a thin teacher. He never will inspire
his pupils with desire for anything
beyond the book answers.

And no other grade of pupils is so diff

Sad Fate of a Nevada Inventor.

A gentleman who has just arrived
from the borax field of the desert re-
gions surrounding the town of Colum-
bus, In the eastern part of the State,
gives US the following account of the
sad fate of Mr.. Jonathan Newhouse, q
man of considerable inventive genius:
Mr.. Newhouse had constructed what he
called /" solar armor," al apparatus
intended to protect the wearer from the
fierce heat of the sun in crossing des-
erts and burning alkali plains. The
armor consisted of a long, close fitting
jacket made of common sponge, and
cap or hood of the same material both
jacket and hood being about an inch in
thickness. Before starting across a
desert this armor was to be saturated
with water. Under the right arm was
suspended an India-rubber sack
filled with water and having small
gutta-percha tube leading TO the top of
the hood. In order to keep the armor
moist, all that was necessary to be done
by the traveller, as he progressed over
the burning sands, was to press the
sack occasionally, when a small quanti-
ty of water would be forced up and
SoOu1dlC bLc lCOO anu Il1e
jacket below it. Thus, by the evapora-
ton of the moisture in the armor, it
was calculated might be produced al
most any degree of cold. Mr.. New
house went down to Death valley, de-
termined to try the experiment ofcross-
ing that terrible place in his amor.
He started out into the valley one morn
ing from the camp nearest its borders,
telling the men at the camp, as they
laced his armor on his back, that he
would return in Two days. The next
day an Indian, who could speak but
few words of English, came to the camp
In great state of excitement He made
the men understand that he wanted them
to follow him. At the distance of about
twenty miles out into the desert the In
dian pointed to human figure seated
against rock. Approaching they
found it to be Newhouse still in his
armor. He was dead and frozen stiff.
His beard was covered with frost, and
though the MONDAY sun poured down
Its tiercest rays-an icicle over foot
III length hung from his nose. There
he had persisted miserably, because
his armor had worked but too well, and
because 1t was laced up behind where
he could not reach the fastenings.-

A Ducal Sportsman.

A correspondent of the Boston Post
says "The leading amateur coachman
of the present day is the jovial and
handsome Duke of Beaufort, who is,
indeed, in every respect the reigning
prince of British craftsmanship. It is
to this quality he owes the distinction
of the Garter and popularity such as
rivals that of statesmen and generals.
The Duke keeps the most hospitable of
open houses at Badminton, his noble
counsry-seat, and I suppose has several
tolerable fortunes in horses and
vehicles. He is the happy possessor of
the finest coach in England, and he does
not disdain to show it off by himself
handling the ribbons of his famous
four-in-hand. I believe he has won the
Derby at least thrice and the Chester
Cup, the Doncaster. and the Oaks 1
know not how many times. Let me
add that there is not more genial, easy
going, fne-spirited person in the whole
range of aristocracy; his fine jovial face
is treat to look upon. And he has
brought up a family of children who
inherit his sportsmanlike tastes and
sunny temperament. Last year one of
his daughters accompanied him in the
saddle from London to Epson to see
the Derby, and this young lady, who
was but seventeen, performed the Jour-.
new of more than twenty miles in about
two hours. His eldest son, the Mar
ouis of Worcester, who has recently
came of age, is praised on all hands as
one of the most promising sportsmen in
England, and has won q special renown
for handling the 'four-in-hand in a
manner which one Of the papers says
NEARLY approaches perfection

his only object in causing the arrest is to

Moulton, in which Mr.. Beecher earnestly ssks
and sdjures Mr.. Moulton to go before the
committee and exhibit all he has, and tell all
he knows with reference to the matters and
controversy between Theodore Titon and
Henry Ward Beecher.' This letter is declared
to be long, explicit, earnest. unmistakable,
and to the effect that Mr.. Beecher has no
wish and Mr.. Mouiton no alternative but for
the latter to go before the committee,
fully and frankly to say all he can say
forthwith. This earnest letter of request
from Mr.. Beecher, coming in with the request
of the committee itself, will reach, or has

answer will pr baby be made as soon as the
allegations and testimony against him shall
all have been put in"

Intemperance.

Chief of Police Savage, of Boston,
who has kept record of the cases Of
drunkenness and the crime attributable
to intemperance IN that city for several
years, says that during. those years they
have had at one time free rum, at an
other license law, at another pro-
hibitory law badly enforced, and yet
again for time prohibitory law Wig
orously enforced; and yet there is no
variation in his statistics furnishing the
least indication of when one policy pre-
vailed and when another.
