Explosion Of Patent Driers.

A communication from an Officer on
board H. M. S. Triumph, now in the Paci-
fc, states that a serious explosion occur
red on board that vessel, when OIL Coqulm-
DO, on the coast Of Chill, ON Tuesday, the
22nd of November. The writer, who has
escaped uninjured, says:-We have had
a terrible explosion Of Xerotine siccative
on board here. 1t occurred on Tuesday
last at s o'clock in the morning" The
letter bears date November2 81, so thatit was
written five days after the accident.
"Two men," the writer states, " were
killed on the spot, and a third died on the
afternoon of the following Saturday, while
many were terribly burnt. The material
which exploded was slowed under the
paint room, directly contrary to the Adj
miralty instructions. 1t appears that a
marine went there with alight, and he was
literally blown to pieces. The bedSin the sick
bay, outside the paint room, were Wrenched
out Ofthe deck, and the men were thrown all
over it. AS | have said, one man was
blown all to pieces, and the second who
was killed was 80 yards off, his death re-
Sulting from conclusion Of the brain.
The man who died yesterday Saturday
afternoon, sustained frightful injuries. His
thighs and abdomen were almost blown
away, and he was a terrible sight.
Strange, to say, the painter, who was ac,
tually inside the paint-room, was only
badly burnt. There is at the time l am
writing only one dangerous case among
the injured-that of a stOker-WhO is sui
fering from severe internal injuries and
conclusion of the spine. At the time of
the explosion ] was walking up and down
on deck and the band was playing,
t.God Save the Queen to the colours.
1t gave us all a terrible fright. The
exploded material had got into the double
bottom, and it was only yesterday that
anyone could get near it owing to the gas
which emanated from it."
The substance which has thus been the
cause of a serious accident is commonly
known as "patent driers" and is used in
ironcIads to prevent corrosiou between the
double bottoms. The Triumph is an iron
steamship of 6,64O tons, carrying engines
of 1880 horse power, with an armament OF
IA guns. She is commanded by Captain
Albert Fl, Markham.-IImeS.

The late specializing Mania

The Monte, the faireSt and most candid
of the Clerical organs, is the one which has
the courage to rebukethe recentspeculation
mania. 1t remarks that women, or at least
o certain number of them, had begun to
talk about rise and fall, premiums and
combinations and combinations, and it deS-
cribes a scene which occurred a month ago
on a visit to a young and handsome lady
of the highest circles. Speaking of a re
ception composed of ladies, young and old,
men on the shady side of so, and a fair
sprinkling of young men OF fashion, the
writer says =
III was struck by the place held in all
minds by Bourse affairs. Not one
of them thought of or deemed it Opportune
to utter a gallant phrase, but all, without
execution, talked of 'Timbale,' union,

so much / pinched myself in the hope OF
waking up to see people and things IN

left others took their places and the sub

a pretty woman. | have not the smallest
doubt that had [ done so, | should
have been very ill-received, whereas the

aged the learned dissertations of her young
visitors. There entered q man OF about
40, with a thoughtful air, shaven chin and
whiskers. I might have taken him for a
magistrate, but, had he been one, he would
probably have attracted less attention.
He was received as some one OfimpOrtance,

was too much for me. took my leave and
began to reflect on all | had been hearln9.7
After quoting the |lamenting OF a Spanish
lady on the c-OnsanguineOuS marriages
which had ruined the Spanish nobility,
the writer says -
wT0 see what remained of the French
m0bIesSe wind up with the BOurse seems to
me something much more pitiable than
the evil complained of by that Spaniard.
Commerce, Of which there was formerly a
horror, not yet altogether disappeared,
was far superior to this trade Of SpeCula-
ting iIG> hareS.o
The writer adds that he only pities those
who have lost by the crash that he pItles
them the less because they stood high Ill
society and were not destined by birth or
education to become buyers and sellers OF
bonds; that this was pure gambling and
that ii adVersaries have been playing UNI
fairly they should have been f%oreseen all
along. He concludes by denying that all
or even the majority OF Clericals or Roy
alists have shared the disaster, and by
remarking that, If the lesson is proiifed
by, its early arrival will have been tortu-
nate. The vivid picture he draws Of arts
~tocratic conversation should be supplement-
ed by a sketch, given by NJ. Nlaretie at the
height e. the initiation, of well-bornladies ha-
bitualIy visiting the pastry.cooks near the
Bourso and sitting there to be waited on
by their brokers, to give orders, and re-
ceive advice. Grotcsque as these features
of the mania have been, it is no laughing
matter.-TimeS.

cereal foods being given by the half teaspoon full, the dose here recommended? Because it is called brain and nerve food-that is, special food to the brain, containing the hypophos- phites in the condition as they exist in the brain-he classes it with cereal foods that are taken by the pound, not by the half tea spoonful. Had he properly studied the works of hoehler, Strecker, Baeyer, Thudiahum, and others who have labored to give us the chemical constituents of the brain, he would have learned the difference between phos- phoid compounds existing in the brain and narve fiber.
 The Vitalized Phosphites were first made by the request of the profession; they have been before them for ten years they are no secret remedy; the intelligent physician reads on the formula exactly what he is using. Thou sands, yes, tens of thousands, of the most in- telligent physicians, both here and in Europe, have used Vitalized Phosphites in their prac- tice, and they continue it's use because it 1 does not disappoint them. Dr. Cutter has 1 called it fraudulent" only because, with his | imperfect knowledge, he did not find, what we do not claim to be there, unbroken gluten | cells Le made no other examination. l Had Dr. Gutter written fairly scientific article, had he displayed single attribute of | fairness or knowledge, we would not com 1 plain, but would answer his article in as sci | ent1hc way as he had written; but, when be writes sensational article we must an swer him as he deserves He calls us 'the worthless, the spurious, the fraudulent" We

 Most people familiar with the life ot Thaddeus Stevens are also familiar with the fact that he left peculiar Will: In the event of his favorite nephew, Thad. Stevens ir, keeping sober for five years he was to receive a certain amount of the estate; keep ing it for five years longer, he was to receive a certain other amount, and, keeping sober for 15 years, he was to receive all of the es- tate save few small bequests. Not Ilvlng up to these terms, young Thad. was to re- ceive $500 per annum during his life, and this he accepted, burying his talents and hls life in an unsuitable indulgence in strong drink T., the event of young Thad. rece1v- ing only $500 per annum, the residue of the estate-provided it amounted to $50, ,00O- was to go to the founding of an orphan asylum, where all children who had lost either parent (and regardless of color, creed, or nationality )were to be admitted. The Hon. James r. McPherson, the Hon A. t. Roberts. and the Hon. o. J. Dlckey were named as the executors. Mir. Dlckey IS dead but the other two executors were, ar ranging for the transfer of the estate to the ChiIdrens Home of this city, when Dr: Thaddeus N.

We have gone through our stock of Table Linens ard laid out number of pieces which we resolved to close out at a loss, in order to make room for other goods. They are all firs5 class Scotch and English makes, and are in good order; and as we have marked them down from 15 to 30 per cent. there will be for a few days some very great bargains to be got. Marking down staple goods like these, which are saleable all the year round, is thing very seldom done, and housekeepers likely to need fine table linens soon should not miss the chance. They are mostly high priced goods.
