The Religion we Want.

We want religion that bears heavi-
ly not only on the Exceeding sinful
ness of SIM" but on the exceeding ras-
cality of lying and stealing; religion
that banishes small measures from
the counters. pebbles frou the cotton
bags, clay from the paper, sand from
the sugar, chicOry from the coffee, al
um from the bread and water from
the milk cans. The religion that ia to
save the world will not put all the big
strawberries at the top and all the lit
tie ones at the bottom. 1t will not
make one-half pair of shoes of good
leather, SO that the first shall rebound
to the makers credit and the second
to his cash. 1t will not put Jouvin's
ON Jenkins kid gloves nor make Paris
bOnnets in the baclS-rOom of a Boston
milliner shop nor let piece of veil
vet that Processes to measure twelve
yards come to an untimely end at the
tenth. 1t does not put bricks at five
dollars a thousand into chimneys it
contracts to build with seven dollar
material nor smUggle white-pine into
floors that have paid for hard pine /;
nor leave Yawning cracks in closets
where the boards ought 10 join. The
religion that is going to sanctify the
wcrld pays its debts. 1t does not con-
slider that forty cents returned from
one hundred cents given is according
To- the GOSPEL, though it may be ace0r-
ding to law. 1t looks on q man who
has failed in trade, and who continues
to live in luxuary, as a thlef-7he
Christian.

manner in which we have been treats

overcoming the capillary force of the
mineral PARTICLES, collect in dross and
settle from the mass, and become q
source of serious accidents Moreover,
it may be that freezing, or thawiLg af-
ter freezing, has tendency to segre-
gate the oil.
Professor Draper, in one of his works
on popular science has it that Noble
was led to the experiments from which
resulted dynamite by the fearful eX-
plosions of nitrO-glycerine at Aspin-
wall, San Francisco, Sydney and else
where years ago. After reference t.
the usual means of exploding, Pro-
fessor Draper adds that NJ. Guyot, a
French chemist, has shown that the
IitrO- glycerine may soak out from TIE
mixture with sand, and, saturating the
raper of the cartridges and boxes, re-
assume the state in which it readily
exploded by slight blow.
Dynamite was used for a time at the
Government works at He'll Gate, but
the defamation was found to be too
great and it was abandoned. The eff
feet was to start the seams in the river
bed above and threaten the flooding of
the mine.
The experience in this country of
accidental explosions of dynamite are
very rare, and the age of the COM
pound when nitro glycerine will eX-
ude from it and in confined places ig-
mite by spontaneous combustion is q
matter of :, eculation.

Dynamite, or giant POWDER was

glycerine absorbed by some pOrus in

absorbent is a siliciOus infusorial earth
found near Hanover, Germany, and
known as kiessel guhr. 1t will absorb
and retain about three times its weight
in nitro-glycerine, and has the appear
auce of damp Graham flour. This
form prevents the transmission Of or
binary sudden shocks. except under
pressure in a confined space. The
presence of the inert mineral cOnstiJu-

The Foster letter to ex-Speaker
Blaine is much talked of here. Foster
was in town on Saturday, hut left on
an early train. 1t is supposed that he
came down 10 see hir. Blaine. The
revelation made in the letter that tie
President LeiongS to 4 secret political
anil Catholic Order is embarrassing 20
the Administration Republicans. and
seems to be enjuycd hy tho-e RcrUhli-

impression here is that it Injuries, if il
does not kill, the third-term project.
The action Of the Methods preach

great deal of unlavorable Comment
Il is notorious here that some MethO-
dist preachers and bishops have long
had great influence at tile White
house, which they have not always
used for the public good alone. Eish-
op Haven has been for two years an
Outspollen third-timcr. Close Obsery-
ers here remark that if the President
is not DESTROYS of third-term it is
singula" fact that those who surround
him are almost all third-termers. 1t
is now noticed that the Southern Re

declare for third term. Soilp Of

be hostile before they came here. give

other questions inviting their action
this session. If the caucus is cont OIL
Ell 10y the sentiment prevailing outside
there can be little doubt of the result
of such deliberatiOn. An advocacy of
the free school principle cannot injure
the Democratic party. An ind0rse-
ment of it would spike the big gun of
Grant and Blaine i'm their rivalry to
secure the favoTs of the Republican
party and to make capital for their
party against its opponents. The
Democratic defeats in Ohio and Penn
sylvania in November were largely in
consequence of the skillful use of the
school question by the Republicans
The Democrats know this, and they
are going to spike the Republican
guns all around.
