The Giant Powder Atrocity.

The telegraphic matter in THE STAR to-
day contains the astounding confession of
one Of the parties concerned In the plot to
blow up the steamer Mosel by means Of q
case OF dynamite or "giant powder" BY
the premature explosion on the pier at Bre-
merhaven some forty or fifty lives were lost,
it will be remembered, and at first IL was
supposed that it was case OF spontaneous
explosion OF a package of dynamite, the
property ofsome thoughtless passenger. But
IL now appears that the cask containing the
dynamite had q clock-work apparatus in
tended to ignite the big grained powder after
the steamer had got TO sea; but that
through some miscalculation the clock
reached the striking point sooner
than intended Dynamite Is the inven-
ton of a Swiss chemist named Nobel
IL consists OF nitro 81 ycerine absorbed by
some porous inert solid. The best material
for an absorbent is a silicious infusorial
earth found in Hanover, Germany, and
known as lliesseI guhr. IL will absorb and
retain about three times its weight OF nitro
glycerine, and has the appearance of damp
Graham fOnr. This form prevents the
transmission of ordinary sudden shocks,
except under pressure in confined space.
TIE presence OF tine inert mineral con-
Stituents serves also 10 absorb heat, so that
high temperature cannot be easily impart-
ed TO the whole; but when impaired this tenn
perature effects great expansion of the
gases and increased effectiveness OF explo-
sion. Ignited in the open air, dynamite
burns quietly with nitrous flames. Exploded
usually by means OF Eliminating fuse or
capl, il gives carbOnic acid, nitrogen and
hydrogen, and leaves a white ash, with little
or no smoke. 1t has been regarded as the
safest Of all explosives, not being affected by
prolonged temperature of 100 degrees cent?
grade, nor is il as dangerous as nitro lycer-
Inc when II solidifes at eight degrees cent?
grade. Neither light nor electricity nor or
binary shocks cause IL to decompose or ex-
plode. The principal dangers connected with
its use are those of the strong Illuminating
powders used in the percussion fuses to ex-
plode IT, Dynamite, II carelessly made, con-
tanning an excess of nitro gIyceriue, may, by
the latter overcoming the capillary force of
the mineral particles, collect in dross and
settle from the mass, and become q source of
serious accidents. Moreover, IL may be that
freezing. or thawing after freezing, has a
tendency TO segregate the oil.

The preliminary SkirmiShing in the Forty-
fourth Congress is indicative of the near
approach Of a series of sharp contests on
questions OF a national character calculated
to affect the coming Presidential election.
The attempt made py Mr.. Hale, of Maine,
yesterday 10 draw out direct expression
from the democrats on the money question
was In measure successful. The resolution
of Mr.. Hale declared that there should be
prompt legislation to make the act of 1875
providing for the resumption of specie pay
Inents effective, by placing in the hands of
the Secretary OF the Treasury such power as
may be necessary To accomplish the desired
end. Directly on its submission of Mr.. Jones'
OF Kentucky, moved that IL lie on the table,
mistake which created much CONSERVATION
among his colleagues. He was finally in.
duced TO withdraw his motion, when the
House refused TO second the demand for the
previous question, all the democrats voting
against IL, and the resolution was finally re-
1erred 10 the Committee on Banking and
Currency where it will doubtless sleep the
sleep that knows no waking. AS an offset
TO this stratagem Of the republicans, Mr.
Springer, democrat, introduced his anti
fhird-term resolution which was passed
almost unanimously, only eighteen re-
publicans being found willing TO record their
votes against it. Another test question and
one which Is likely TO lead to protracted dis
cussion is the concurrent resolution of Mr..
Morton introduced In the Senate yesterday
affrming the unity of the united States
snd declaring that the doctrine OF secession
Is Inconsistent with the idea of nationality.
is in conflict with the spirit of the Constitu-
tlon, and should be regarded as having been
forever extinsuished by the suppression of
the rebellion. The democrats will be called
upon TO face the music on this question. In
the Senate direct vote will probably be
reached, but as the democrats Ia the House
preponderate they may see fit to evade direct
action by referring 1t to a committee which
viii never report 1t.

The city Of Kingston was visited by two
very severe shocks Of earthquake at 10 minutes
to l ON tina morning Of the 18th. They were
preceded by the usual low r~umhling sound, and
lasted for many seconds The direction was
from East to West.
The steamer "Uruguay' had been seized by
Commodor Lyons by order of the Governor.
Her cargo had all been landed and c%onfscat-
ed, whilst she was to be placed within range
of the guns of the "Aboukir.' She, it will be
remembered, ran into this port Kingston for
shelter from the pursuit Of a Spanish War
steamer. The "Uruguay' was loaded with
arms and ammunition, and was, it was believed,
destined for Cuba. 1t is said the Government
had also seized the vessel. 1t is unprecedented
that there will be some law in the matter, as it
does not seem quite clear, that a Blockade run
ner which probably the "UrCguay" will be
taken to be, is liable to seizure VIII n she puts
into a friendly port.
The quarterly comparative returns of Exports
from Jamaica up to the 30th June, shows
that whilst sugar has increased from 10, TIA to
13,440 hhds. and rum from 1896 to $3.50 puns,
coffee has fallen off from POLIO TO 10,94I cwts,
little more than half, and pimento from 8,844
to 4,676 cwts. also little more than half. The
advantage gained by the increase in the guam
tity of sugar is impaired by a depressed mar
ket, prices having fallen from Ell to ZIG per
hid. Logwood has increased from 14,723 to
1857 tons. This means prosperity to the
labouring classes chiefly. In the fruit trade
there appears to have been also a falling off
Bananas from $500 to 27,227 punches, and
Oranges from 1880 to 158,050. The minor
articles fuctuated more Or less. The total
estimated value of the exports has been set
down at t9494;76O being an increase of 9l6,627
on the amount estimated for the corresponding
period of last year.

were lately witnesses in a trial. One of them
upon hearing the usual questions asked. " What
is your name ? and how old are you 2" turned to
her companion and said, 81 do not like TO tell
my age not that I have any objection to it's

Mrs.-,"I will tell you how youcau avoidoit.

Eggs as a Diet.

WOULD it not be wise to substitute more
eggs for meat in our daily diet? About
one-third of the weight of an egg is solid
nutriment. This is more than can be
said of meat. There are no bones or
tough pieces that have to be laid aside. A
good egg is made up of 10 parts shell, 80
parts white and 30 parts yelk. The white
of an egg contains S6 per cent. water, the
yelk of an egg SO per cent. The average
of an egg is about two ounces. Practical
ly the egg is animal food, and yet there IS
none of the disagreeable work OF the
butcher necessary to obtain 1t. The vege-
tarians of England use eggs freely, and
many of these men are eighty and ninety
years old, and have been remarkably free
from illness. Eggs are best when cooked
four minutes. This takes away the ami
NAL taste that is offensive to some, but
does not so harden the white or yelk as to
make them hard to digest. An egg if
cooked very hard is difficult of digestion,
except by those with stout stomachs; such
eggs should be eaten with bread and mas
ticated very finely. An egg spread on
toast is food fit.for king, if kings de-
serve any better food than anybody else,
which is doubtful Fried eggs are less
wholesome than boiled ones. An egg
dropped into hot water is not only clean
and handsome but delicious morsel.
Most people spoil the taste of their eggs
by adding pepper and salt. A little sweet
butter is the best dressing. Eggs contain
much phosphorus, which is supposed tc
be useful to those who use their hrains

will her colt, Nobby. On no account will
either of them move; no coaxing or ar
guing will induce them, and, Of course,
blows are out of the question. The fam
lily are divided in opinion as to the reason,
some insisting that something about the
cart frightens the animals, while the
others assert that, being used to carriage,
they feel above it; for why should not
Jenny and Nobby have their false pride as
well as human beings?
Once Jenny received a terrible injury in
consequence of being frightened and rum
ming away, the shaft of the wagon pene-
trating her flesh to such depth that force
was required to draw it out. She suffered
agonies from the fearful wound, and, by
the time that had been carefully treated
and was showing symptoms of healing,
she seemed like one on the verge of brain
fever. She could not sleep, and her great,
piteous eyes were turned appealingly for
help. Just at this crisis, when everybody
said that she must be killed to put her out
of her misery and save her from linger-
ing death, her master quietly laid her head
over his shoulder and began to soothe her
and almost Immediately the poor, worn,
out creature dropped asleep and when she
awoke was visibly calmed and refreshed
Thenceforward that man went out daily,
and sat there in the stall by her side, and
supported her heavy head on his shoulder
to let her sleep, and so continued to dc
until the crisis was past and she began to
recover.-Our Dumb animals.

Jenny and Her Master.

A GENTLEMAN who has never owned
any other horses than those he raised
himself, and who seems to appreciate their
proud and tender natures, so swift to re-
sent an injury yet SO responsive to kind
ness, tells some incidents about his little
bay mare, Jenny, a "high- strung" nerv-
GUS creature, who, under rough treatment,
would probably have turned out vicious,
if not unmanageable. She is very quick
in Ter resentments and will not bear a
touch of the whip, even from him, fond as
she is of him. She has never been struck
but three or four times in her life, and then
did something to revenge herself, and
would even now, though very old, over
turn or run away with the person who
should infiict such an outrage upon her.
The only smart blow she ever received
was from a physician who borrowed her
to 90 few miles, and, wishing to seem
in desperate haste, while passing the house
of a rival doctor. gave her cut, where
upon she whirled quick as lightning,
dumped him into the mud and then stood
and surveyed him. "It seemed to be no
viciousness," said Jennys master, but
she was simply indignant at blow; she
took it as an insult"
One curious thing he tells about her is
that she will never draw a haycart; neither

Still against them bravely tussle,

There is sunshine, storm or calm,
And in every kind efHeather
Hold your head up like man.

Boldness is the better plan,

Always do the best you can,
