Last week gentleman from Erie. Pa,
was at Point st. Ignace looking around
with view of establishing blast fur
mace. The company he represented own
several thousand acres of hardwood land
in that vicinity. purchased with a view
OF manufacturing charcoal. The pros
poets of go important work being es-
tablished at that point have set the citi-
zens wild, and every property owner i'm
AGNES himself millionaire, and will
not sell land at any price.
Just as soon as the Bay View and
Crooked Lake railroad gets i'm running
order so as to make regular connections
with the boats on the inland route, the
Mary will change her time of running,
and make two trips day between Point
st. Ignace, Mackinac and ChebOygan,
starting every morning from the Point,
and coming by the way of Mackinac,
reach here in time for the boats leaving
on the inland route. Leaving again
during the forenoon for Point st. Ignace,
returning in the afternoon, and then
starting back for the Point after the ar
rival of the inland boats in the evening,
calling at Mackinac each way.

the court house question, and reply by
saying do it yourself" They intimated
so strongly that these gentlemen would
be gladly taxed to build a court house
that we presumed they would be glad to
confirm their opinion by interviewing
and publishing the views of these well
known citizens upon the question, but it
seems they have no confidence in their
own assertions and would rather not let
it be known what these enterprising cit
liens of our county think of the effort OF

DIR. H. B. WILBUR, the President OF
the National Association for the Protec-
ton of the Insane and the Prevention
of insanity, puts the number of lunatics
in the country ut $4,000, and says the
estimate is low. Neglect and abuse. he
adds, are not too strong terms by which
to characterize the mann er in which the
majority are treated. DIR. Bearl, after
a late inspection of the best asylums Of
Europe, came to the conclusion that
Great Britain was ahead of all the world
in the management CT the insane, with
Germany close behind. In Scotland he
found them better treated than any,
where else. The general principle Of
doing away with restraint is growing
in favor everywhere. He found the
English asylums like gentlemen's resi-
dences, and could hardly believe that
they we're the homes of lunatics. DIR.
Seguin says that only one asylum in the
United States-the Kings County On.
~ asylum-has successfully tried the
system of non-restrainf. 1t is working
with the best results, though 700 pa
tients are under treatment. Yet DIR.
Wilbur reports that when he visited
and inspected. five years ago, asylums
in England and Ireland containing 25,-
900 patients, only in a single instance
though he always asked to be shown
the refractory patients. and in this case
the man was homicidal epileptic. Are

When the nitro-glycerine is to be con-
veyed to any point by teams the tins
are packed in open wooden boxes, with
two inches of sponge at the bottom and
four rubber tubes underneath; these
are long enough to allow the ends to
come one inch over the top of the tin
on opposite sides, thus interposing two
elastic tubes between the outside Of
the tin and the inside of the
wooden box, rendering it perfectly safe
to carry Each tin is cellular. G..
from the top of each tin to the bottom a
tube passes about ten inches deep and
one and a half inches in diameter, for
the purpose of thawing the concealed
nitro-glycerine when the plaster is
ready to use it-liquefaction being eff
fected with water of seventy TO ninety
degrees. The tins. being closed with a
cork wrapped in bladder, are put into

with LAYER of ice and blankets, and

The steadiest men possible are selected
for the work; three are employed in the
acid house, working in three shifts Of
eight hours each. but they do not actu-
ally work more than seven hours. Ev-
cry movement is like clockwork, every
man has his place and special duty,
which he is expected to perform at the
proper time. In the morning at seven
or 1880, two men dump the carboys OF
acid into the soapstOne tanks and
mix them, while third is filling
the glass jars with glycerine. This
operation takes about an hour. One
draws the acid, another weighs it, and
a third carries it to the troughs. Alter
an interval, during which the acids
cool, three men attend closely tn the
converting of the glycerine into tri-
nitro-glycerine. After the nitro-glycer-
inc is dumped into the water-tank. two
men are employed in washing it, while
two wash the stone pitchers with water.
The floors are kept scrupulously clean
and perfectly free from atoms Of
nitro-glycerine, which, stepped upon

Are we halt aware of their mighty powers?
Do we ever trouble our heads at all
Where the jest may strike or the hint may
fail.

That spicy story, "you must have heard
We jerk away in our gossip rash.
And somebody's glass. of course. goes smash.
What flames have been blasted and broken,
What pestient sinks have been stirred,
BY word in Iightncss spoken,
by only an idle word.
A snecr-a shrug-a whisper low
They are poisoned shafts from an ambushed
bow.
Shot by the coward the fool. the knave:
They pierce the mail of the great OF brave
Vain Is buckler of wisdom and pride
To turn the pitiiess point asid
The lips may curl with u careless smile.
But the heart drips blood = drips blood the
while.
All me, what hearts have been broken,
What rivers of blood been stirred
BY Il word in malice spoken,
BY Only bitter word.
A kindly word and tender tome
To only God is their virtue known;
They can lift from the dust the abject head,
They can turn Il foe 10 u friend instead;
The heart, close-barred with passion and
pride,
Will ding at their knock its portals wide,
And the hate that blights and the scorn that
sears
Will melt in the fountain OF chdlike tears.
What ice-bound griefs have been broken,
What rivers of love been stirred
BY word in kindness spoken,
BY only gentle word.

NITRO.GLYCERINE.
A Description orIts Manufncture---How the
Dangerous Explosive L. Handled.


ABOUT one hundred yards beyond
the west shaft of the HoOsac Tunnel is
to be seen board fence surrounding
about ten acres of ground. with the an
nouncement: "Nitro-gl cerine Works!
Dangerous; no visitors admitted" A
drive leading between two rows of
buildings brings the visitor" to the
acid house, well ventilated building,
$50 feet long. Here are eleven stills,
each seven feet long and two feet in
diameter. Under these light, slow fire
burns, which is carefully attended to,
for the temperature must be kept mod
crate. In each of these stills is placed
q charge of nitrate of soda and of sui
phuric acid. A stoneware pipe con-
ducts the gases, at a temperature of
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit, from
each still into a stone receiver or con-
denser, or rather a series of four con-
densers connected by stoneware pipes,
ranged on a platform three feet above
the ground. Into three of these sui
phuric acid is poured, and the fourth is
empty. The nitrous vapOr passes from
still to the first condenser, where a
portion of it. forming. as it condenses.

acid; the remainder passes on to the
second, third and fourth ccndenssrs,
though very small portion is left to
pass into the last, which only requires
to be emptied once a month.
1t takes about twenty-four hours for
the still TO complete the conversion of
its contents into nitric acid, at the end
of which time the resultant mixture.

into carboys, twelve of these being filled
from three stills. About one hundred
carboys are generally kept in stock. as
the acid does not spoil when kept
closed. These carboys are then emp
tied into soap-stOne tank having q
capacity of eighteen carboys, and an
iron pipe, connected with the main
leading from the blowers, in the engine
house, is inserted into the acid, causing
q current of air to agitate it. so as to
remove the nitrous fumes, mix it thor
oughly and bring it all to uniform
strength. Formerly this was effected
by removing the acid into glass vessel
containing about forty gallons, and it
required boiling for hours. The mode
now practiced occupies only five min
utes. and the risk of fracture Of glass
vessel in a sand-bath is avoided. The
acid is then carried into converting
