CONVERSATIONS.

Conversation is the choicest flower Of
culture. 1t needs, IN order 80 come tc
anything near perfection, . CONSENSUS of
inward and eutward conditions, the abseRce
of any one OF winch is fatal. The delicate
exchange and alienation which 1t implies
Is impossible not only II there Is not some
parity of value in the thoughts exchanged,
but also the tact and art of selection
among them. Itrequires, above all things,
light hand, the power of taxing up a sub
iect easily and readily, Of holding it not
too tightly, of adapting the treatment of
it to the interlocutor's need or point Of
view, of loosiDg it when it has ceased to
serve as mental stimulus, and of taking
up another with the same readiness, to be
dropped, in its turn, as soon as it has
served its purpose. a thorough discussion
of subject is always out of place in
conversation want hints, guesses,
glimpses, the suggestion of varied points Of
view, side.hghts, the play of fancy and
humor, even the ironical treatment of ones
own serious interests, all colored by d.
rect reference to the individual mind to
which you are for the moment brought
near. To duh natures good converse
tionalist always looks inconsistent. His
many -sidedness seems contradictory his
instinct and need to be all things to all
men has an air of insincerity about it,
while in fact it is only subllmated verac-
ity; bis sense of the relatively of truths
and of the multitudinous phases, sides,
shapes and references, wears to the mar
row, plodding understanding look Of
sophistry and frivolity. The homely wit,
which stays where it grew in its own little
plot of earth, is puzzled at the vagabond
instinct which sends other minds soaring
and circling in search Of fresh and distant
prospects.

Cinnamon Killed-Seyerai = Ounded.
OAKLAND, March 4th.-A terrible explo-
sion occurred at the Eureka Giant Powder
Works, at Stege's Station, Contra Costa
county this morning at $50 o'clock, by which
two Cinnamon were killed, and two white
men and eight Cinnamon were more or less
injured. The explosion occurred in the FIJI.
ing house, which contained 200 pounds of
powder, and was caused by one of the China
men engaged in filling the cartridges lighting
his pipe. The scene is sickening. Two of
the Cinnamon were blown into the bay in a
dismembered state, and the Others were fear
fully mutilated and burned about their
bodies. The works consist of filing
house. drying house, packing house, dip
ping-house and engine and boiler house.
All the buildings were more or less injured,
the dipping. house blown TO pieces, bat two
tons of powder contained therein was unin-
jured. The names of the dead and wounded
are All Young. dead; Sam Hi, dead
Wounded : Oscar Renzer (white) O. D.
Wheeler (white), and Ah You, All Soc, All
Fun, All Son, All Sup, and All Sam. Three
of the Cinnamon will likely Gle before morn
ing. The injuries to the white men are
slight-mostly about the head.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
OAKLAND, March 4th.-Bv special mes
seuger the following facts concerning the
| terrific explosion that occurred near Steges
ranch, on the San Pablo road, this morning.
are learned: About 10 o'clock this morning
this community was startled by two reports
aud two shocks caused by an explosion in the
Eureka powder works. Soon after the re-
ports huge volumes of smoke could be seen
for piles around rolling up into the skies
from the locality of the explosion The
terrible shocks caused great excitement at
Berkeley, and soon after the reports were
heard hundreds of men started for the scene
the exact cause of the explosion. Like in all
similar cases. it is not nor will it ever be told
how IL occurred. Those who might tell re-
| fuse to talk. 1t seems, however, that the
cause can be traced to the packing depart
ment, and that it was the work of careless
Ch'naman. The roof of the large magazine,
was blown off, and the packing house was
completely demolished. Five tons Of powder
were stored in the magazine. On close ex-
animation it is ascertained that two China
men were killed outright, and several are se-
riously injured. The miraculous escape of
several was simply wonderful. The Eureka
Powder Works were erected about year ago.
and have been running constantly ever since.
THE EFFECT AT SAN RAFAEL.
SAN RAFAEL, March 4th.-The shock from
the explosion of the powder works at Berkeley
this morning caused the buildings here to

THE QUESTION OF PoLYaAMY.

AhlD sSEoA1ON VT EVilGaM
The Constitution guarantees absolute religious
freedom. Congress is prohibited from making any
law respecting the establishment of religion, or pro-
hibiting the free exercise thereof The Territories
Of the United States are subject to the direct legs
latiye authority of Congress, and hence the Gen.
eral Government is responsible for any violation of
the Constitution in any OF them. 1t is therefore
reproach TO the Government that in the most popu-
lous of the Territories this constitutional guarantee
is not enjoyed by the people, and the authority of
Congress is set at naught. The Mormon Church
not only offends the moral sense of mankind by
sanctioning polygamy, but it prevents the admin.
istration of justice through the ordinary instru-
mentality OF law. In my Judgment. it is the duty
of Congress- while respecting to the utmost
the conscientious convictions and religious
seruples OF every citizen, to prohibit
within its jurisdiction all criminal prac.
tices, especially OF that class which
destroy the family relations and endsnger social or
der any ecclesiastical organization be safely
permitted to usurp in the smallest degree the func
tions and powers OF the National Government
