The Dangers Of Ignorance.

One can not Judge from the brief
accounts given what are the precise
causes of such disasters, bat there is
reason 10 believe that ignorance is
prolific; that many persons have only
a vague knowledge of the qualities OF
iitro-gl3cerine, can not recognize =
when they see it, and are not Rc-
quainted with the various forms In
which it is compounded or with the
peculiar dangers of handling it care

known as dynamite, mica powder,

These compounds can be transported
with comparative safety. But the
nitro-glycerine easily drains of from

It is not easy to grasp the enOrmoaE
bulk of the Australian Continent
the practically unlimited space within
which the colonies have room 10
grow. The colony @! VictoriR-the
smallest and ct the same time the
most populous and highly developed
of the continental group-is about az
large as Great Britain; New South
Wales has aD area FIVE times that OF
England, but it is not half so big Sc
Queensland, and only a third of the
size of South Australia. Western
Australia is even larger and more
empty OF population; after measur-
ing acres with South Australia, if
would have almost sufficient land
to furnish ont New Zealand and
Tasmania, and yet New Zealand
compares in area with the British Is
lauds. and Tasmauia is nearly as large
az Scotland. The acreage under crop
in the Australian colonies in 1880 Was
$500, 900 acres. That seemH re-
spectacle total; yet it seems ridicu-
lousy email when We compare with
it toe illimitable extent of lsud yet
lying waste. 70 take the case Of
New South Wales. while there are
685. 900 acres in cultivation and
1880. 600 acres inclosed, she7e are
$50. 600, 900 acres, much of it excel
lent land, still unsliented. Even &c
the present rapid rate at which the
land is being fenced, it will occupy
$50 years to dispose of it all. This
colony alone contained the extrsor.
dinery number OF 80, 100000 sheep
in 1880. besides 2;5s0,OO0 cattle and
nearly 400 COS horses. Before the
close of the next decade it is expected
that the sheep stock OF New south
Wales will run to between 10000, 600
and 100000 hesd.-EdiHbuTE

The Well Informed IN Political Circles
Taking No Stock In His Recent An
nouncement Of His Withdrawal
From Public Life.
PREDICTIONS OF SECRETARY NEW.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-It is we'll
to make note of the fact that in political
circles here no stock is taken in the an
nouncement apparently by authority, that
Mr.. Blaine is out Of politics, and will not
be candidate for 3 Presidential numina-
tion in 1884. Never in Mr.. Blaine's life has
he eyinced more interest in politics, in o
quiet way, to be sure, than in the campaign
which has just closed, and bis influence has
been eIerted sensibly in various
Congressional Districts. That Mr..
Blaine is and has been working the
wires with view to the ad-
yancement OF his Presidential aspirations
two years hence seems TO be certain. His
friends in Pennsylvania, in his own State,
in Maryland and in the West, where he
has hitherto been so strong, sustain their
compact and effective organization, and are
leaving nothing undone to carry their
State delegations for him when the time
approaches for the assembling Of the Ma
tiOnal Republican Convention. In the
campaign Just closed he wrote to diff.
ferent candidates urging all his friends in
their localities to support them. He wrote
one letter to Mr.. James w. Bosler, who ran
for State Senator in the Thirty-seeond Sem
aiorial district of Pennsylvania. Mr..
BOSler, who is a man OF large wealth, is as
devoted 10 Mr.. Blaine as he is inimical to
the CameroAs. Another of Mr.. Blaine's
letters, intended to influence the political
action of his supporters, is said to have
been addressed to Mr.. Stevenson Archer,
the late independent candidate for chief
judge in the third judicial circuit of Mary
land. 1t is said that in this letter Mr.. Blaine
congratulated Mr. Archer on his candida.
cy, and expressed the same hope that he |
ded in his letter 10 Mr.. Bosler-that all |
his friends would work and vote for him. |
A Maryland politician of prominence, well |
scquainted in the counties composing that |
circuit, expresses the opinion that Mr.. |

PARKERsBURs, w. Va, November l5.-
The grand jury of the Circuit Court to-day
found indictments against J. II. Caring
ton, prominent citizen OF New York, for
forgery and perjury. Darlington will be
remembered as prominent oil speculator
in this State several years ago, in connsc-
ton with the West Virginia Oil and Oil
Land Company, and it is alleged, during
1875 forged the signature Of b. 8. Comp.
ton, President Of the above company, to an
acceptance of a draft. The grounds
of the indictment for forgery
is that in 1879 he swore that
the acceptance was genuine. The indict-
ment was surprise to the public. From
the expressions Of our citizens it seems he
will not have many sympathizers here.
The Grand Jury also found FIVE indictments
against the West Virginia Transportation
Company, for over charges in the trapspor.

and for evaporation.
A true bill was found against Rolla

be found upon his desk the sealed verdict
of the committee which had been appoint
ed by the Association to investigate the
charges brought against him by Mechanics
Lodge. On breaking the seal he saw that
he was completely exhonorated from all
blame and his course during the strike
fully endorsed. The committee critically
examined his entire policy and even inves'
tigated the story about his collusion with
the Cincinnati manufacturers, who were
reported as having been seen coming from
his room in hotel in that city at late
hour of the night. The charges against
him were all found to be false.
