Just as the steamer Mosel was on the
point of setting sail, Dec. IL, from Bre-
men for New York, an Explosion of dy-
Mantle took place on the wharf. The case
of dynamite was concealed in TIL. baggage
of passenger.
The Mosel was badly damaged, and
the steamer Simson, used for the trans
fer ofpassengers from the wharf to the
Mosel suffered still worse.
Sixty-eight persons were killed and
81 wounded and are missing. The
fatality was mostly among the people on
the wharf, which was crowded with
those who had come to see their friends
off on the steamer. Subsequently one
Thomson shot himeself through the head
inficting a fatal wound, and before his
death confessed that the dynamite belong
ed to him, and that he intended to bring
it on board the steamer Mosel with a
deliberate intention to blow up the vessel.
The motive for this diabolical scheme
rated and fictitious insurance, and to share
afterwards with others. Thomasen is
quite conscious and answers all questions,
but the bullets have not been extracted
from his head. From what is known the
barrel prepared for this shameful work
was made strongly by Bremen cooper
and partitioned, one containing the
dynamite and the other the apparatus for
exploding 1t. The plan probably was that
the apparatus should be ignited by clock
work after Thomasen had landed at
Southampton, whittier he had took pas
sage, and where prSb'bly the goods
would be shipped. He intended to place
his hellish machine In the Deutschland,
but it was not ready in time. The num-
Der killed and wounded is now ascertain
cd to be ITO,

As viii be noticed, Fernando Wood is
left out i'm the cold, and Cox, instead of
being made Chairman of the Ways and
Means, and leader Of the House, is showed
aside to make room for Mr.. Morrison,
Of whom the country has been In blissful
ignorance until now. OF course, Wood
and Cox are intensely disguised, and their
disgust seems to be shared by nearly all the
Democrats, who expect Mr.. Morrison to
fall an easy prey to Blaine's consummate
ability, adroitness and mobility.
The Herdlds Washington despatch
says:
Fernando Wood is, of course, deeply
hurt. Mr.. Cox is nearly as bitter, al
though he has chairmanship, and it is
reported that he to-day said that so far
as he could ascertain, there was very gen.
eral disgust among the Democratic men,
bers. SO far as he himself was concern
ed, he did not care now where he was
placed in the committee, as he was deter
mined, for the future, to cut loose and
act for himself. 1t was now no secret, he
said, that the Texas Pacific railroad in
terests had had something to do with the
formation of the committees. In brief,
Mr.. Cox said that he was thoroughly dis
gusted. Clymer of Pennsylvania, Sayler
of Ohio, and other able Democrats, have
not received the consideration to which
they were entitled.
Among the others who have a right to
be indignant, the Herald puts Bell of New
Hampshire, who is only given third
place on Revision of Laws. New England

A Successful Hwindle.

George w. Drew, the Sewing-machine
agent, at Concord, N. H., was, on Dec.
10, swindled ont Of $l80, by a man who
represented himself to be an agent Of the
Grover & Baker Company. December 8,
Mr.. Drew received the following dis
patch:
BosrON, MASS.
GEORGE W. DREW & Co.-Our agent,
W. +. Simpson will call upon you in rela-
ton to business. We send him letters
and check in your care.
(Signed) GROVER & BAKER,
Sewing Machines Company.
(Per Taylor.)
T The next day Mr.. Simpson called on
Drew and presented the following:
w. Z. SIMPSON Enclosed please find
check for $I39. Drew will cash it for
you. You will at once proceed to Mont
pelier and settle up with MF, Terrill. We
owe him $l05. Pay him, and return to
this Office. See If you cannot hire Drew
to run the general agency of the State for
the company. Mr.. Drew formerly sold
many machines for us, but has not done
much for us Of late. He is the largest
dealer in the State, and we would like to
secure his services, Offer him $4,000 a
year and all expenses paid.
The usual signature Of the company
was affixed to the letter After further
conversation with him in reference to the
companY,s affairs, Simpson produced the
check for $3.50 on the Eliot Bank, Boston,
which was signed 'W. j. Baker, Pres't,"
and requested Mr.. Drew to cash it,
Mr. Drew did cash it. The man left On
the Northern train and now Mr.. Drew
finds that the telegram, the letter and the
check were all forged,

Letter from Maryland.

Editor Herald;
am living in Caroline Co., six miles
south of Denton, the county seat. The
climate l believe healthy one. There
are as many aged persons here as in any
part Of the country, while by statistics it
is found the mortality of Maryland, from
consumption, ranks at 10 per Ct, while
in New Hampshire it is as high as 22 and in,
Massachusetts, 1725 per ct. Persons who
have suffered in the north with asthma
have had but very little of it here. The
winters are very mild mercury scarcely
falling below zero, while the summers
are tempered by delightful breezes. The
Denton Journal says: "No county in the
State has SO many northern mon in it as
Caroline, and there is not one In the State
that is in a better condition, financially,
than ours. Thousands Of acres are owned
and settled by northern men, some of
them now being our leading and most
distinguished citizens" The reason why
so many northern men have failed to be
satisfied here, is because they have not
gone to work right; the land needs differ
ent cultivation from that in the north,
and they have tried to work their avn
way and have not succeeded. Some OF
them have left their farms and gone back,
expect, with pretty hard story about
Maryland, but it is all their own fault.
The land is easily improved by the use of
lime and muck which is readily obtaine ],
after which any crop grown at the north
can be raised here with equal abundance.
A great many men in this county own
large quantities of land in. some cases a
man will own half dozen farms beside
his home farm these he is obliged to rent,
generally doing so for one year at time,
kthe tenant sowing the wheat in the fall,
and moving on at Christmas, and gives a
certain part Of what he raises. He can't
afford to do much for the land, but tries
to get all he can out of it; the farm will,
in this way, be run down in few years to
half its value. Such farms are not profit
able to either the one who rents it, or the
owner, not yielding more than ten bushels
Of corn per acre. The home farm will be
kept up and will yield from fifteen to
eighteen bushels of wheat to one bushel
sowdd and 25 or so bushels to the acre |;
and is good lay as any Essex county
farm.
A northern man, who has capital and
energy, purchased nine years ago poor
farm which had been rented for a number
of years, and was run down until 1t hard
ly paid to till, and by the use of lime and
muck he is now able to compete with any
farm in the county in grain or fruit,
Another purchased, about the same time
small farm, with no fence except the
outside one, and 14xl6 house not At to
live in, and not fruit tree upon it Of any
account; he has now got a comfortable
house, good barn, and can raise corn and
wheat enough for his own nse, and clears
from two to six hundred dollars year
raising fruit. l write THIS, not because
I am interested in any land agency, or any
thing of that kind, but perhaps some who
may see it may be going West and be-
licve they would be better off If they
would look here first.
Yours Respectfully
MARYLANpER.

Congress is fairly at work. The Speak
er elected is laborious, hard money,
honest man. lie was bred in the old Dem
ocratic school, and opposed all the great
reform measures, that have redeemed and
saved the country. The Democratic party.
as party, have seen nothing good in
purpose OF practice in the Republican par
ty for all the years of their dominance.
They profess to believe, that The gov
crnment was and is one Of tyranny, rot
tenness and corruption, that no good
could or would come Of Republican rule,
and that change was imperative for the
salvation of the country. Let us see now
what great publication the country will
undergo. They probably will have all
necessary aid from the Republican side of
the house, for they have for years been in
vestigating and exposing all political cor
ruption in their own family, and will heart
ily ioin hands with the Democrats in all
necessary public washings. But SO far as
we know the appointment Of the more
important committees does not presaSe
much of reform. The probabilities are
that Fernando Wood is to be chairman Of
Ways and Means, the leading committee
OF the House. His presidents are toe
well known to need comment, and if this
is an indication Of Democratic reform, we
can already fathom the extent of the coun.
try's publication. The Democrats will
feel their way very cautiously, fearing
that their acts will tell against them in
1875, and their loud Boosting will prove to
be wind.

President Grant Is strong Methodist,

President Grant Is a strong Methodist,
rs he has perfect right to be. Bishop
Haven Of the same church, in a recent
address before Methodist Sunday schoo,
union, and tract society, appeals strongly
to MethodistS throughout the land to la
Dor for the denomination of the President
What would Bishop Haven think, and the
Methodist clergy, if Cardinal McCloskey
should nominate Governor Tilden, or some
other man and exhort the Roman priest
hood, to pray and labor for his nomination,
and the whole body of Catholics to go for
his election. What howl of indignation
would echo through the land. But has
not Bishop Haven done the same thing?
The President in honesty, and as he felt
it to be his duty, suggested an amend
ment to the Constitution, that IL adopted
would provide a good common school
education to all the children of the land
alike, do away with this sectarian bust
ness so far as the public schools are con-
cerned, and taxation that supports them.
And Bishop Haven in his zeal for the
President does the same thing that he
condemns in the Catholics. 1t has estab-
lished bad precedent and it will work
mischief The Republican party does not
want President Grant fer another term
Not because he has not been faithful, ant
honest, but because public morals, anc
political honesty demand a change, anC
mere than all, the people demand it.
