Can We Have More Dynamite HOr.



The crime CT the man Thomas, Thorn
Assem- or, as now stated, Alexander, is the
source of keen anxiety in Europe. The
mystery surrounding the explosion has
not been satisfactorily cleared up, and in
the absence OF facts speculation has been
busy upon the probable extent of the ter
rible conspiracy, and, above all, upon the
means which men, unscurpulous to the
last degree, could avail themselves of to
accomplish their designs. We cannot
say that there is great wisdom displayed
in these speculations, for, outside of the
internal appliances that have been de-
scrlbed in the English papers and which
description we copy elsewhere, there are
dozens of others, which an ingenious
mechanic could devise after very little
thought, which would do the work us eli
fectually. Toprovide the means OF ignit-
ing powerful explosive at given time
is the problem, and we haye no doubt
that criminal ingenuity could solve it in
many ways that would not require even
clock work. When monsters in human
shape, like Thomassen, can be found,
happily rarely, to.include the slaughter OF
hundreds in their programme to- making
a small monetary gain, the appliances
are easily made, but the means ofputtlng
them in successful operation are not so
easily brought together. Whether the
mere shocks in handling the fatal pack.
age were sufficient to release the hammer
and preciptate the explosion, or wheather
it occurred from the leakage of suppo'
sitions can of nitro-glycerine is of little
moment, for either snpposltion only
shows that the concocter of the plot was
not The master Of mis- materials he thought
he was. The question which truly poses
the future danger is, What are the pos
slbilines Of such monster? or-what Is
harder to con cede-a conspiracy OF SINH
lar monsters reaping the monetary re-
ward Of such villainy? Warned as the
community is, and especially the insur-
ance business, We cannot think that the
chances of crimes triumph in this direc-
ton are one in u thousand. We have
crcumstantial evidence that the ordina-
nv precaution Of insisting on examining
a box, offered for insurance, SAID to
contain specie, averted Il similar calamity
On tnc ScIIlC idst yca'i anu GO ~ go
is the only mode of giving articles in
transit an exaggerated value we think
that the companies, for their own sake,
will hereafter look more vlgilantly at
what they are asked to insure. We do
not say that a repetition of the Bremen.
haven atrocity is not to be feared, but we
do not share in the alarm which some
otherwise sensible English papers have
taken at the prospects of future insecure

cold-blooded artillery officer is certainly
Suggestive; but war is national conspira-
cy TO kill, and the officer has tacit Gov.
ensnt of death with his enemy, while all
humanity is arrayed against the crime of
fiend like Thomas. That makes all the
difference in the world.

SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO.
The Town of Hudson DescribedTA

Old John Brown. &c.

Editors of the Register.
| thought as this was a leisure day to
me, | would give your many readers n
small sketch of the little town of Hudson.
1t lies in the northeast corner of Summit
county, and is situated on the highest
point in the county and contains about
two thousand inhabitants. 1t is one Of;
the most beautiful places that ever l was
permitted to see. especially College Hill
The ground slopes on all sides, which
makes it that you can see for
miles around. 1t also has three churches,
one public school, one Touring
mill, and saw and planning mill, The
Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Cleveland
Railroad runs through this place and the
Cleveland, Mt. Vernon and Columbus
Railroad, which makes it quite business
place. :.
The, citizens appear to pride in morali-
tv. You will scarcely see man under
the influence Of intoxicating drinks;
neither. will you hear any vulgar language
used.
There Is a Masonic Lodge here, too,
with abou, fifty members. They are still
working under a dispensation, but ex-
peet 10 obtain a charter next fall l had
the pleasure of meeting with them since
| came here and would just say that
everything was right up to time. The
work is very different in this State, from
what it is in West Virginia. l presume
the work i'll all states Is
different. At the last regular communi-
cation of Hudson Lodge, there was one
initiated, one passed and one raised.
Now | will change my subject little

readers wants to get the true history OF

A "Reminiscences OF Trafalgar.

From the London Telegraph, Dec, Is.
"Anchor, Hardly, anchor; kiss me,
Hardy" These were the last words of
Horatio Viscount Nelson and Duke OF
Bronte, as he lay gasping his breath IN
the feebly-lt cockpit of the Victory at
Trafalgar, and in the arms of Captain,
afterward Admiral, Sir Thomas Hardy
did the hero expire. The death is now
announced of Miss Hardy, the eldest
daughter of the distinguished naval Off
Ger who enjoyed the intimate friendship
ard confidence of his illustrious chief, and
who died Governor of Greenwich Hospi-
tai. Miss Hardy had been, fora length.
ened period, the occupant of suit OF
apartments at Hampton Court Palace,
conceded to her by the munlfcence of
Her Majesty the Queen. The passing
away Of Miss Hardy will recall the cir
cumstance that her father kept for many
years, as memento, locket mounted
in crystal and silver, encirclng the bull
let by which Nelson met his death, and
which was curiously identified by there
adhering to it a portion of the bullion OF
the epaulet through which tho ball pass
ed, forcing the strands of golden wire be-
fore it into the hcro's body. Other al
most equally interesting relics of Nelson's
belongings are to be found in the uniform
coat and waist. coat, and the ribbon and
order he wore at Trafal gar, and which,
for some time past, have been exhibited
at the Painted Hall at Greenwich, where,
so strong is the instinct of hero worship,
they are regarded with as much rever-
ence as that which Frencnmen extend to
the little cooked hat and the sword of
Austeritz in the crypt of the Invalides.
The mention, however, OF the bullet en-
shrned IN silver and crystal mag re-
rwaken the curious controversy regard
ing the hand by which Nelson actually
fell. In book called the Memoirs of a
French Sergeant, an English translation
of which WAS published by Mr.. Colburn
some forty years since, the writer dis
tinctly and imprudcntly claimed the
"honor" of having slain the scorge ofthe
French Navy He was armed, he said,
with ships mu,ket. and fired at ran.
dom, but was much overjoyed when he
saw the proud English lord 'drop." On
the other hand it has been stated, with
greater weight of evidence, that the fatal
Shot was fired by Tryo!ese rihemsn,
stationed in the malntop Of one of the en-
emy's line o;.battle ships. Napoleon, it
is well known, had drafted number of
sharp shooters from the Italian Tyrol in
to his navy. They were all excellent
marksmen, and there could scarcely have
been II better target for their weapons
than the red ribbon and glttering orders
which Nelson, with fatal pcrversity, in
sisted on wearing over his full uniform
on the day which was the cause of so
much pride and so much sorrow tn his
countrypen, but which endowed HIS name
with imperishablc glory.

From the Kansas City Journal OF Com.
merce.
Yesterday q Granger-looking gray put
in an appearance at the Leland Hotel
just at dinner time. Seating himself at
the table, he gathered up the bill of fare,
and, running over it few minutes, said
to the waiter who stood beside him wait
iag for his order, "You kin bring me all
there is on that bill, for I'm doggoned
hungry" A good dinner was brought
him, and soon the Granger was manipu-
lating his knife end fork at lively rate,
making the dishes which surrounded him
fairly clatter. A gentleman who sat be-
side him said to the waiter, airing me 3
Kaw River oyster dressed in crumbs"
This order did not pass the Granger.
No sooner did he hear It than he said;
Here, my boy, you kin bring me one of
them toe" The waiter hustled out of
the room, and soon returned with pigs
foot in batter. As soon as it had been
placed upon the table, the gray soused
his fork into it and on his work to demol-
lsh it. After tearing it partly to pieces,
he remarked: "Isn't this oyster leetle
over size?" The gentleman to whom the
interrogatory was addressed replied in
the negative. "Where" said the Gran
ger, "is this Kaw Rver?' The desired
information was given and the Granger
appeared satisfied. He minced away a
while at the pig sIfoot, then turning to the
gentleman ut his side, said, "Salt water,
eh?" mo, replied the gentleman, 'fresh
water" After ne had finished the foot,
he said "Well, III be doggoned if L hav-
emit seen heep of oysters, in my time,
but this is the first one | ever seed that
had bones in it." 1t was an audible smile
that went round the table, when the
Granger, picking his teeth with his fsrk,
asked, "What in thunder are
you laughing at?"
