Philadelphia of Warner q Merritt'a

pieion that some other assorted cargo,

sudden departure were due to the exigen-
cies of their business, that she is engaged

Of -four, machinery, etc., that they do
not 90 beyond the bills of lading to in
spect the packages consigned to their

the Tropics last return cargo is peaceful

MRS. CUsrERs EARNEST PROTEST AGAINST

A bill was recently Introduced in the
House for the erectin in Washington of

7th United 6tatos Cavalry who were
killed BY the Sitting Bull baud of Indians
IN the fight on the Little Big Horn River.
Tho bill directs the Secretary OF War to
contract with Wilson Mcdonald, Of
New York, for the erection Of the menu
ment, (which shall include duplicates of
the sculptors equestrian and pedestrian
hgures Of the late General Custer, aud
also the likeness Of the principal officers
and the names Of the men who were
killed In the battle Of Little Big Horn"
IL seems that the widow Of General Gus

husband erected at the West Point Mill

and In letter protesting against the
passage OF the bill now pending says that
Mcdonald, in erecting the West Point
ssatne, did not consult her or any friends
OF her late husband. Mr.. Onster does
not object to the erection Of statue in
Washington, but protests against en-
ploying Mr., Mcdonald as the sculptor.

Just as 1 Expected.

4 day or two since traveller from the
East walked into the Cass House, Detroit,
with his grip sack in one hand and the
other pressed to his jaw, and he wasn't
long in permitting fifteen or twenty people
to know that he had been afflicted with the
toOthache every minute since O'Clock the
previous evening. He couldn't eat drink
nor stand still, and when some one asked
him WHY he didn't 60 to dentist, he
replied.
because haven't got the pluck Here
am, a great big six-footer, able TO knock
down an OK, and yet haven't got the grit
to stand one yank on this toothl I've been
down on the battle-line, in free fights and
out among the red skins, but I'm a cow
ard!'
Some laughed and some encouraged him,
aud he finally said:
swell, ] believe I'll try it, but | know
what am, and want something to push
me on. I'll bet this five-dollar bill against
ten certs that I'll have the tooth pulled. ="
One of the guests made the wager, and
a small crowd went along to see the fun
The stranger walked up as bold as lion,
took seat in the dental chair, and evinced
no signs of crawfishing until the dentist
picked up the forceps and told him to get a
good grip on the chair. Then he grew
white in an instant, slid out of the chair.
and seized.his hat and said:
''It's just as l expected. I'm great big
calf on wheels, and the worst flunker in
America, but can't help it! I've lost the
five dollars, and will probably have the
toothache right along for week, but III

The streets of London.

The streets of London do not unfOr-
tunately, expand with its growth. New
streets, it is true. are formed as new houses
are built, and the old streets still retain
their former proportions, and are often
wholly incapable of affording accommOda-
ton for the number of carriages which at
tempt TO pass through them simultaneous
Is. Old Bond street, for instance, at some
seasons of the year, utterly breaks down
under the pressure of its traffic. For some
hours every afternoon this unfortunate
street is completely blocked by Lost of
carriages, cabs, and other vehicles, cram
med into it without reference to its latest
dimensions. The people in the carriages,
10 judge by the expression on their faces,
seem to be in no hurry To- move ON. Time
to them has no particular value. and when
the weather is genial Bond street. with its
many shops and many interesting assOcla-
tions, Is by no means an unpleasant place
for meditation and repose. 1t is otherwise
with the people IN the cab, and who are, as
a rule, bent on business rather than ples-
sure, and whose looks denote anxiety and
mpatience. Sometimes, indeed, they show
signs of temper, and make use of language
they must in calmer moments deplOre.
They are to be pitied, for the consequences
of missing q train or failing to keep an ap-
pointment are often serious. Ii is, how
ever, not easy TO suggest any remedy for
the inconvenience they endure. Old Bond
street was built in 1856, when private and
public vehicles were comparatively few in
number. Itwas then, no doubt, wide enough
for the traffic of the day, but there can be
no doubt that it is now, like many other
old streets, quite unfit for the requirements
of modern London.

Whom Gas Expiodes.

There is unfortunately not much difficult
ty in accounting for the London disaster
The Gas Company has been laying new
main through a part of London of the
unusual diameter of three feet. This vast
pipe has lately been laid along Guilford
street, through Russell Square, Montague
Place and Bedford Square, and seems to
have been in use up to the point in Baily
street where the explosion commenced. 1t
had been since continued along the line of
the explosion. Recently the w0rkmen con-
nected these new pipes which run along
Percy street and Charlotte street with the
existing mains, and before leaving it for the
night the mvn IN charge tested the work by
applying light. Now, however foolish
it may be to hunt for an escape of gas in a
room or cellar or cupboard with light,
that was not the folly committed in this
particular case. If a pipe is fully charged
with gas and hole is made in it out of
which the gas escapes into the open air, no
explosion is possible. The only possible
result in such a case is that the escaping
gas will light and burn with an ordinary
flame. Two things are needful to an ex
plosion; the first of these is that the gas
shall be mixed with air; the second Is that
the mixture shall be in some confined
place. In the upper part of room an ex-
plOsion will happen if there is one part of
gas to fifteen of air and a candle is applied
to the mixture. But as the gas Is lighter
than air it will always get away if there is
any opening for it; SO that an explosion
can only result from an escape when the
gas is prevented from getting away. Now,
for some reason or other, the pipes tested
recently were not full of gas, but of an ex-
plosive mixture of gas and air, and conse-
quently when the light was applied the
whole exploded like a train of gunpowder
Such an explosion would not have force
enough to tear open the earth all along Its
course, but would find the weakest places,
and break out with concentrated violence
at those points. This is just what happen
ed. The explosion ran along the whole of
the three and half furlongs of the gas
main. and concentrated itself to burst out
at half dozen points. The accumulated
force in all the intermediate lengths of tube
spent itself at these points. The outburst
at these places was like the firing Of some
enormously long cannon which had been
charged to the muzzle.
