Explosion of an Internal Machine in
London.

ABOUT nine O'Clock yesterday morning
one of the vans of the Parcels Delivery
Company was taken to the door of Mr..
William Larkin, of Northampton
Square, Clerkenwell, chronometer max
er and watch dial engraver. A box adj
dressed to him was delivered 10 the SER
want. The latter, having given receipt,
handed it to Miss Larkin, who shook it
in order 10 ascertain what it contained.
Hearing nothing rattle, she conveyed it
into the workshop, and handed it to her
father Mr.. Larkin is in the habit of re-
ceiving boxes containing dials for en-
craving, and at once proceeded to open
the box by prying up the lid with chisel
A slight click inside was followed by a
terrific explosion, blowing out the win
dOws, wrecking the shop and its contents,
and hurting Mr.. Larkin against the wall
The box was blown into atoms, small
pieces only of the wood and the Internal
mechanism being found.
The volume of flame which accompa.
MED the explosion set fire to the clothing
Of Mr.. Larkin, who was fearfully burnt
over the arms, hands and face. The
flames having been eXtinguished, he was
put TO bed and placed under the care of a
doctor. The servant, Emily Chickleberg,
who took in the box, gave it as her opin-
ion that it was about eight inches long by
five broad, something like an ordinary
cigar box. Inspector Freestone and
Sergeant Wade went in and made mi
mute examination of the premises The
box was found to have been of deal, with
an inner lining of tin, portions of which
were found all over the room. Some of
the pieces of tin had been driven into the
walls The smell of the various pieces of
wood led to the belief that the agent en-
ployed was gunpowder. The police also
picked up pieces of spiral springs and
nipples, indicating that there had been an
arrangement by which the mere opening
of the box should cause an explosion

The vengeance of the patriots was COM
plete as terrible, and when the glorious
sun rose again the dreaded men of the
lovely district had ceased to frighten peo-
pie with their name.
Alice Beauchampe, whose courage had
led to the determination Of the avenging
band, became the heroine of the day, and,
after the termination OF hostilities, welded
a Lieutenant of Marion's men. Her hero
ism is venerated, and her gallant exploit
narrated daily by hundreds of her de-
scendants in the Palmetto State.

Why Great Prices Are Paid for Pic
lures.

People, while admiring fine picture,
or while marveling at the price paid for
a chef-d' euDre, are apt to lose sight of
the cost CT the production to the artist.
They marvel at the 500, 900 paid to Meis-
sonier for his Battle of Friedland," and
they lose sight of the ten years of toll,
the money paid for costumes, for the hire
of models, the time spent in historical re-
searches, etc. Then the ordinary ex-
penses Of an artist are by no means tri-

CHANGE

THERE never was sky 40 blaa
That clouds would not appear;
There never was hope so bright,
That in it lurkcd no fear;
And there was never yet heart,
So filed with earthly JOY,
But, somehow, in its tinge of grief,
We felt the base alloy.
There never was blossom fair,
That did not quickly fade;
And change is written everywhere,
On all that God has made.
But, oh, there is one blessed thing,
Our hearts may ever keep;
1t is our Fathers changeless love,
So broad. and full, and deep.
Then let the sky be overcast,
And joys of earth depart,
And shadows gather round our path,
Or even in our heart;
But let us hold this treasure fast
Gods pure, unchan ging love,
And storms shall only drive our bark
Into the port above.

To YOUNG BRIDES.

The following from Harper's is very
near the truth:
"The pastor Of church in one OF our
large cities said to me not long ago: l
have officated at forty weddings since
came here, and in every case, save one,
felt that the bride was running an
awful risk. Young men Of bad habits
and fast tendencies never marry girls OF
their own sort, but, demand wife above
suspicion. So pure, sweet, women, kept
from the touch Of evil through the years
of their glrlhood, give themselves, with
all their costly dover of womanhood, in
to the keeping Of men who in base asso-
Citations, have learned 10 undervalue all
that belongs to them, and then find no
time for repentance in the sad after
years. There Is but one way of this,
that l can see, and that is for you-the
young women Of the coun.ry-to require
in association and marriage, purity for
purity, sobriety for sobriety, and honor
for honor. There is no reason why the
young men of this thristianlla land should
not be just as virtuous as its young wo.
men, and if the loss of your society and
love be the price they are forced to pay
for vice, they will not pay it. l admit
with sadness that not all our young
women are capable of this high standard
for themselves or others, but I believe
there are enough earnest, thoughtful
girls i'll the society of our country to
work wonders if faithfully aroused. Dear
girls, will you help US in the name OF
Christi Will you first of all. be true to
yourselves and God; so pure in your liner
and outer life that you shall have a
right to ask that the young men with
whom you associate, and especially those
you marry, shall be the samep the aw.
full gulf OF dishonor is close beside your
feet, and its fathers, brothers, lovers and
sons ar0 going down. Will you not help
us in our great'work.

Charles Francis Adams unfit for its cub

THE THREE LYING GOVERNORS.

The Governors Of the States SouthlCar
olina, Florida, ana Louisiana have shown
themselves, during the past week, to be
the three most impudenu liars in the
country. Wesa this upon the evidence
Of their own kilograms.
On THURSDAY, Nov. o, Gov. CHAMBER
LAIN of Sourh Carolina telegraphed 10
the Ne,u York Times that the ofhciai
count in nine counties, with accurate
estimates and reports from the remain
ng twenty-three counties, gave not less,
than eight thousand Republican MAJOR
ity in that State. On Monday, the 18th
the same CHAMBERLAIN telegraphed to
the Ney York Herald that the returns
increased HAYE's msjority to three thous-
aud.
On Friday, the 10th, Gov, STFARNs OF
Florida sent telegram 10 Secretary
MORRILL,, which was published in the
Nep York Tines, sayiny that Florida had
given 2, 500 Repu blican majority. A spec:
ial dispatch to the same paper, dated
Monday, the 18th now AYERS that the
majority is between l 900 and 1000!
And Gov. KELLOGG of Louisiana, after
repeated declarations by TELEGRAPH and
otherwise all last week that Louisiana
had gone Republican by 5000 majority,
confessed on Sunday in a message to the
Ns,o York Hercld that he had no returns
whatever and could really give no trust
worthy figures at all.
1t is with the help Of such frauds a
these three Governors that HAYES is to
be declared elected.-World.

FAREWELL TO THE Potato BUG
From the Rocky Mountain News

The Colorado potato beetle, or potato
bug, az we generally call it, has at last
found its match in the shape of mite
parasite. Prof. Riley, at meeting of the
st. Louis Academy of Science, exhibited
a potato bug which was so completely
covered with mite parasite that the
point of needle could not be placed on
any part of the beetles body without
touching one of the parasites. He es.
timated the number of mites at 8OO The
bug had been attacked by these enemies
and killed. The potato bug seems to
have number of natural enemies, such
as the toads, the crow, the ose-breasted
grossbeak and domestic fowls. There
are no less than twenty-three insect
enemies that attack and kill it. The bug
has also been migrating eastward across
the continent for several years, until it
has now reached the Atlantic ocean, We
hope it may find watery grave, and let
the waves sing its requiem.
