to render il easily workable by the quar-
rymen. The composition, previous to
being used, was weighed by John James,
Of Pentre, and the holes charged by him.
Although the experiment was generally
regarded rs highly satisfactory, yet every
one acknowledged that the charges used
were not sufficient, aud that if there had
been four pounds each instead of three
and half pounds, the mass of rock
would have been fairly lifted aud thrown
out of its bed. Some disadvantage also
occurred from the manner in which the
holes were charged. The paste was
placed in the holes with the paper round
the packages, ton of which were put in
each hole, and this paper is regarded as
having destroyed the combination OF
force which would have been obtained
had the papers been removed.
The new explosive is used in a plastic
condition, and Can be made to assume the
shape Of any bore hole, and its principal
merits are that it will not explode by
means of fame or spark, or by concus-
sion, and may be safely transported by
any means of carriage without danger.
1t does not freeze at 80 Fahr., conse-
quently does not require to he thawed
out by warming pau, thus avoiding the
great danger resulting from this process.
And what lie also great desideratum, it
will be put upon the market at low
price. 1t is also water proof, and can
be used under water end in wet weather.
Its strength in practice proves to be fully
seven times the strength of blasting pow

A Talk With the Original Uncle
Tom"

Ga Thursday afternoon, j une 18th, your
correspondent had the pleasure of half an
hours talk with Rev. Josiah Henson, the
subject of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves
"Uncle Toms Cabin" who was fellow
passenger on board the popular Xia-
watha, outward bound from SarLia.
Uncle Tom freely answered all questions,
and proved his identity by referring to
Mrs. Beecher Stoves "Key Book to
Uncle Toms Cabin" in which his name
and address are given.
Correspondeat-Were any of the char
acters of Mrs. Stoves book fictitious, or
did they exist in reality9
Uncle Tom-"They existed in reality,
sir, every one of 'em. Lagree, the slave
driver, was named Bryce Lytton. He
was an over.seer for George Riley, who
was brother of my master, Isaac Riley.
My master's plantation was sitnated near
Rockville, Montgomery county, Md. /
knew Mrs. Stowe at that time, sixty years
ago. I have been living in Canada for
the past forty-eight years, and will be
eighty nine years of age on Saturday, the
18th, if I am spared"
C.-"What about Eva and Topsy9 I
suppose these are ass umed names9"
Uncle T.-"Eva, you remember, was
st. Clairs child. Well, this st. Clair's
proper name was Samuel St. Clair
Young. I was frequently hired to him
by my master, Isaac Riley. George Har-
ris and Eliza Harris made their escape
on the ice, as represented the only differ
ence being that their names were Louis
L. Tlsuo rLo md vr,sEo
Topsy's proper name was Diana, and she
was known as "Uncie Robins daughter"
She was wild, crazy thing, and no mis-
take"
C.-"You must have endured trying
hardships, Mr.. Henson9"
Uncle T.-"Yes, sir, have. I have
never been the same man since both my
arms were broken by that tyrant (mean-
ing Lagree). I came from Sandusky to
Buffalo, and from thence to Fort Erie, in
1880, bringing my wife and four children
with me. carried two of the little ones
about 700 miles through the woods in a
knapsack2 No one knows what we suf-
fered; and received all the cruelty as
written"
C.-"You stated that you were &C.
quainted with Mrs. Stowe about that
time. How did she come to write the
book2"
Uncle TT got our sufferings put
into print, and Mrs. Stowe got hold of
copy Of it. That's where she first got
the idea"
C.-"YOu had an interview with her
Majesty, Mr.. Henson. How did the good
ladv receive vouf"

The celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of the evacuation of Valley
Forge by the Continental Army, has
brought to mind the terrible sufferings
undergone in the dread winter when our
troops we're encamped there, without pay,
almost without clothing--sOme of them
being shoeless-and with insufficient "a
tions. 1t was the darkest period in the
history of the revolutionary war. What
is ali glorious now was all blackness then.
The rare virtue which saved US in that
crisis was the endurance If George wash
ington. He never gave up. Serious and
CAIN, but always hopeful and determined,
he Was the same in sunshine and in storm.
Not unduly elated by victory, he never

tingaishing trait which made the name OF

American Poets.

The London Times says, editorially /:
"What William Cullen Bryant was as q
poet Euglishmen know almost as we'll as
his fellow countrym His verse is un.
failingly graceful and thoughtful, with a
music attuned to tho best Eayiish'
models. So entirely English, indeed, is
it, that his rank is naturally assigned
among English rather than foreign poets
Thus classed, he scarcely claims place
higher than with minor poets. At times
breath of inspiration passes over him.
A subtle air of more than meets the ear
here and there, as in his poem of The
Waterfowl varies the elegant monotony
of his song. We feel hope that we may
be on the tracks of a great writer. But
the higher mood fades and dies away.
American poetry is the poetry of apt pu.
pills, but it is afflicted from first to last
with fatal want of raciness. Bryant
has been long passed as a poet by Pro.
fessor Longfellow; but in Longfellow,
with all his scholarly grace and tender
feeling, the defect is even more apparent
than it was in Bryant. Mr.. Lowell can
overflow with American humor when
politics inspire his muse; but in the realm
of pure poetry he is no more American
than Newdigate prizeman. Joaquin
Miller's verse has fuency, and movement,
and harmony; but as for the thought, his
songs of the Sierras might have been
written in Holland. Unless Walt Whit
man is to be reckoned among the poets,
American verse from its earliest to its
latest stages seems an exotic, with an ex-
uberance of gorgeous blossoms, but no
principle of reproduction. We are far
from saying that there are no exceptions
to the melancholy rule. Longfellow has
written stanzas which cling to the memo
~. Poe's Raven is an inspiration.
That is the very note and test of the in
herent want of American poetry. Great
poets are tortured and massacred by hsv-
iLg their flowers of fancy gathered and
gummed down in the horfus siccus of an
anthology. American poets show better
in an anthology than in the collected
volumes of their works"

WA1r.--Wait, husband, before you
wonder audibly why yeur wife don't get
on with the household affairs "as your
mother did," she is doing her best, and
no woman can endure that best to be
slighted. Remember the long, weary
nights she sat up with the babe that died
remember the love and care she be-
slowed upon you when you had that long
spell of sickness. Do you think she is
made of cast.iron2 Wait wait in silence
and forbearance, and the light will come
back to her eyes--the old light of the
old days. Wait, wife, before you speak
responsibility to your husband when he
comes home late, weary, and "out.of-
Sorts" He worked hard for you all day
perhaps far into tho night; he has
wrestled, hand in hand with care, and
selfishness, and greed, and all the demons
that follow in the train of money making.
Let home be another atmosphere entirely.
Let him feel that there is one place in
the world where he can find peace, and
quiet, and perfect love.
