steady, persistent, productive labor
alone can give, and il the idle young

this lies in those dingy, ke-begrim-

caused most shocking loss OF life
Sixty eight were killed, thirty-fiye were
wounded and eight are missing-al-
most as serious destruction OF life
and limb as in a small battle. Now it
may be interesting to our readers to
know what is this fearful substance
which has so unexpectedly caused
such destruction of human life.
Dynamite is composed of one-fourth
infusorial earth and three-fourtns nitro
glycerine by weight. 1t resembles
graham flour in both appearance and
feeling, and is written as the safest of
all the explosives and most effective
for blasting purposes. Among the
auarries of Sweden it was formerly
common TO use gunpowder soaked IN
nitro -glycerine, but this mixture was
found to be so dangerously sensitive

The last OF summers suna
Along Its tawny grayel-bcd,
Broad flowing, swift and still,t
As II lis meadow levels felt
The hurry of the hill,
NoIssiess between lie banks of green
From curve 20 curve IL slips;
The drowsy maple shadows rest
Like fingers on Its lips
A walt from Carols widest hills,
Unstoried and unknown;
The ursine legend Of its name
Prowls on It's banks alone
Yet flowers as fair It's slopes adorn
As ever Yarrow knew,
Or, under rainy Irish skies,
BY spensers Mulla grew;
And through the gaps Of leaning trees
Its mountain cradle shows;
The gold agrinst the amethyst,
The green against the rose.
Touched by light that hath no name.
A glory never sung.
Aloft on sky aud mountain wall
Are Godsgreat pictures hung,
How changed the sumxilts vast and old
No longer granite browed,
They melt In rosy mist; the rock

That reach up stair on stair
What eyes look through, what white wings

Michigan MEMBER. In Congress.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Evening Journal says OF
the Michigan members:
There are among the old Democratic
members not few strong and sagac-
ious leaders, there is none to compare
with some OF the best among the Re-
publicans. In the parliamentary sense
ex-Speaksr Blaine is
MASTER OF THE SITUATION.
The papers have given full accounts
OF his notable victory on the very first
day OF the session. Yet no mere de-
scription can give full justice to the
exciting scene. We have all heard Of
the patriotic American athletic who
seized the British lion by the tail, and
whirling him round and round till his
"eyes we're sot," then dashed him to
the ground and scatter his brains and
body generally into smash, to the in
finite satisfaction OF the American
eagle who proudly witnessed the spec
tacle from his home in the blue en-
phyrean. Thus did Mr.. Blaine seize
the Democratic majority OF the House
by the tail, so TO speak-begging Mr..
Fernando Woods pardon for the hint
of his being a caudal appendsge to any
thing-and whirling IL round till it
lost its wits, threw il exactly where he
wanted it, and with very little, il any
more Parliamentary sense left it than
there was life in the lion after the feat
aforesaid. On one or two other occa-
sions, Mr.. Blaine has done Just what
he wanted with the House.
He has plenty Of unoommonly strong
men and keen parliamentarians to aid
him too. Sach men, for example, as
Foster, of Ohio; McCrary, and Kasson,
Of Iowa; Waldron, Gorge and Willard,
Of Michigan; Hoar. Of Massachusetts,
Hale and Frye, OF Maine; Wheeler and
Bass, Of New York, and others. Every
one OF those here named Is ut least the
equal in any parliamentary combat oi
the best man on the Democratic side,
while some OF them are very far s2per-
ior to any men the Democrats have
yet risen TO leadership in the House.
Up 10 this writing, the Democratic ma.
jority, utterly unskilled in parliament
airy tactics, have been at the mercy oi
Of the Republican minority, which ha,
gained the victory in every contest. II
