A Terrific ExplonIau.

A telegram from Philadelphia says that one
Of the tanks at the Atlantic Oil Refinery, Point
Breeze, exploded with terrific force, and the
burning oil was scattered in every direction.
The conclusion broke windows mile distant
and the flames spread rapidly to the adjoining
tanks, and four tanks soon took fire. Two
loaded vessels in the stream, opposite the works,
the Competitor, with filed cases, and the Mary
land, with filled barrels, burned. All the she'd
ding along the wharves also burned. The ex-
plosion was heard and felt at the extreme north
ern points Of the city, and as far down the river
Is Chester. The last great fire at these works
occurred in June, 1878.

The Republicans AMI Malone.

The vote necessary to organize the
Senate in the interest of the Republican
party has been obtained from Virginia,
in the person of Senator Mahone-hith-
ertO held up to scorn by the largest
portion of the Republican party as q
repudiator.
We do not suppose that even Senator
Conkling, with all his audacity, will
claim for moment that there Is any
thing natural in such union.
Neither do we imagine that whatever
claim is made or assurance given-any
considerable number of the Intelligent,
reading portion of the people OF the
United States will be induced to believe
that Mr.. Mahone's course is not the
result of very vulgar trade "A trade
which soils and disgraces both parties.
The Republican party never stands
upon tritles in its grasp of power. Nor
is it at all particular who contributes to
it, nor what the means. Mr.. Hayes
may steal il or Mr.. Malone sell tit
takes and then excuses or mildly re-
grets.
Neither is there in the entire organi-
cation one part OF parcel more scrupu-
lous than the whole. To hear the milk
faced Hoar talk ut a college commence
ment, one would suppose that he would
sooner consent to the loss of all his
possessions than incur the faint of evil
doing; and yet. if the Republican party
wanted job of political thievery well
and quietly done, the venerable Hoar
could out-Turpin Jack Shepherd.
1t would, of course, be more in his
line to attract the attention of the vic
Tins by prayer while his pals were
- cracking the crib but, other means
failing, Massachusetts, venerable milk
sop would not be found wanting.
The lesson of the Malone business,
as dirty as it is. is that the Republican
party never rejects an opportunity. 1t
prefers always to apologize for the use
of one rather than deplore its loss.
At any time during the last year the
Democrats in the Senate could have I'M
seated Kellogg, and thus made their
majority sure, but there were dozen
men who believed such course would
be unjustifiable. and hence refused to
consent TO il. How long Mr.. Hoar or
Mr.. Conkliug would have hcsitated in
such a case their action OF the last few
days may indicate.
We do not complain Of the result of
the Malone business. On the contrary,
we are quite certain it will be profitable
and satisfactory.
1t will be an edifying spectacle to see
the very proud Senator of the proud
State Of New York made Chairman Of

THE STORY MY BOOTS TOLD ME.

was pleased, tired and discouraged;
SO, retiring to my room, concluded the
best thing would be to look around
among my finery a little, see if my boots
were all right-no buttons off, that
means-and then take nap.
The feeling of pleasure spoken of was
caused by having received an invitation
to Mrs. Col, Flushing's party. The
Flushings were very select people, who
lived elegantly, kept servants and horses,
and, best of all, were possessed of intel
igence and refinement. So it was de-
cidedly pleasure to have been invited
to visit them. Then their nephew, Mr..
Eugene Flushing, whom had met sew
eral times in company, always came in
from the city to attend their receptions,
and he was really very charming gen.
tleman; nor was alone in this opinion,
even Cad Pinkerton, who had refused
offers innumerable, was decidedly at
tracted by Mr.. Eugene; and Bessie
Wimple told me in conference.-the
could help liking Bessie Wimple, with
her CHEEKY, loving manners, and fond
ways?-yes, she lovingly told me in
confidence that at our church festival
Cad was very much annoyed, in fact
seemed really vexed, when Mr.. Flush
ing offered me his arm at supper-time.
Nor was it the fact of his being re.
ported to be very rich which made him
so attractive. He had travelled almost
everywhere on the globe, and his con-
versation was delightful, being just as
easy and entertaining on one subject
as another; and [ always did admire
brains. as ss.
But was, tired. We didn't keep

very particular how things were done,
DAYS: SO I had had q s'batch of mince
pies,'' and cake of different kinds to
make. If only the company had been
coming some other time! But no; of
course they must come just when I
would have been glad of a little rest,
and freedom from that everlasting
cooking. And father had just requested
me to make few sliced-apple pies the
next morning, as Uncle Nat liked them
so much. s4sq
The next night was to be the night of
the party; but that of course would
make no difference; and then, with my
real love for pa--poor pa, he had been
so troubled of late-I couldn't have re-
fused him anything. Uncle Nat was his
oldest brother, a kind, genial old man,
who had done pa many good turn in a
business way.
Then was discouraged. Well, my
black silk, also my white India muslin,
had been worn and worn, with different
ribbons and fittings, and so on, until
was almost ashamed to make my APP
pcarance in company again in either
one or the other. And there was Cad
Pinkerton, who every time she went to
q fashionable reception wore q new
dress, and an elegant one, too. And
how she would bloom out at Mrs. Col
Elushing's! She was pretty as well as

Lord Chelmsford, late British Gen.

not in the least look like soldier. He
is more like country rector up in Lon

with sallow face, black eyes, and whis-
kers trinity cut away to leave his chin
bare. When talking he has curious
way of thrusting his head forward, as il
his long neck were not strong enough
to support it. He dresses carefully in
black and carries an umbrella.

Next day had splendid luck with my
sliced-apple pies, but somehow the heat
of the kitchen sent the blood into nv
face, so that my cheeks would not cool
off, not even when l started for Mrs.
Col. Flushing's party.
just as l expected, Cad Pinkerton
looked superbly. She wore cream-col-
ored satin, and her laces, gloves and
flowers were simply perfect. I hadn't
been in the room more than fifteen min
utes, when that irrepressible Bess VIM
pie came and informed me in an under
tone that she accidentally heard gen.
tleman asking Mr.. Eugene Flushing
who I was, and she said MIR. FlushiDg's
reply was: elf you mean that young
lady with the healthy complexion, it is
Miss L. s'But of course" she added,
'sthey made no further comments
Now whether Bessie really overheard
that I should have had my doubts,
were it not that, with all her witchery,
1 knew her to be too CONSCIENTIOUS a girl
to tell direct untruth.
But never for moment regarding the
remark as compliment. thought to
myself, "Oh, deari it's those old apple
pies flushed me up So" But instantly an
other thought occurred to me, and in
Imagination heard the voice of gray
eyed, black-haired young convict ex-
claiming with woeful accent:
"Ah, to be homeless and friendless!
Does any girl with parents and a home

to her!" and felt happy and contented
at once.
