NrNErEEN hundred wards Of solid stons

NINETEEN hundred yards Of solid stone
were torn away at one blast from the
bluff near Ozark, Arkansas, few days
since, through which the railroad men
are cutting. Thirty-eight kegs of powder,
costing two hundred and twenty-five
dollars, were used in this one blow, and
hand who aided at the job was 80 slow
about getting out Of the way that every
part of him was scattered to the winds,
not single hair, bone or trace having
since been found.

The New York Erangelist says that
the four pastors of the churches in CAM
den, Oneida county, N. Y, have united
in a card to the public, urging them to
discountenance Sunday funerals. They
object to them for four reasons. That
they yoyertax ministers; mar or displace
the regular church services; break in
upon the Bible schools, and secularize
the Sabbath.

Who should salute First.

An unsettled question in France is
again being discussed: A gentleman en-
countering lady acquaintance in the
street, ought he to salute her first, or
wait for her bow, or not to salute at all ?
A. NJ. Brunschnick does not comprehend
any of these subtleties, these refnements
of politeness, which command that one
ought not to recognize their friends for
fear of not being recognized for recogniz-
ing. A gentleman salutes lady first,
as be would yield the pas to her on the
fagway, by stepping of of it. Then it
seems there can be nothing dishonorable
in letting the world see you know the
lady. Since a salute is mark of defer
ence and respect, it is considered adyisa-
BILE for the gentleman to salute first
The captain has the right Of respect from
the soldier, being his superior; the aged
from young persons, being their seniors;
the ladies from gentlemen, because they
are women.

DETROIT Free Pres: Step up to citi-

grandfather were lunatics, and see how
quickly he will crook his elbow. Yet,
let that citizen shoot somebody, and he'll

hisancestors were not only crazy, but the
biggest fools in the neighborhood.

Welcome as 1t was, which Blaine evincod
yesterday, when, brought face

desire to hcay Mr.. Hill as

subject under discussion was very great,
and it was rumored that his sneech
would be extremely conservative. but
those who expected To feast upon tropjc

Lamar, were disappointed. The orator
Is 2 tail and powerfully built old man,
with a grim face, and every action
seems tinctured with. some OF the fana.
ticism which he denounced SO bitterly

angular and his voice loud, harsh and
passionate. There was no flow in his

deliberately, sentence by sentence, and

spoke plainly and without generalization
as an ex-Confederate, and his speech
was less plea for amnesty than o vim
dicat1On OF tho humanity Of jeff Davis
and the South in the treatment of pris-
oners. The strongest portion OF the
speech was an elaborate investigation
OF the history Of the exchange OF prls-
oncrs. The speaker declared that who
5oever was responsible for It's interrup-
lion was chargeable with the agony and
misery at Andersonvillc and all other
prisons North and South, and he tried
lhe action OF the Federal and rebel
governments in that respect step by
step. He added a bitter inyectiye
against the Republican party, not oniy
attacking its present principles and
policy, but going back 10 ante.belinm
ssues which were dead before the young |
