Dynamite Atrocities.

The dynamite operations in London are
so far developed as TO reveal an extent
and fiendishness that are quite astounding.
They appear to have been carried on in
a very systematic and thorough manner,
with connections in America and Scotland,
and design to spread their devastations
over large tracts of territory in London.
The fiendish character Of this work is seen
in the cold blooded preparations to hurl
in awful and instant explosions thousands
Of men, women and children, innocent of
crime, to a terrible death.
There is no doubt that some of the oper-
ators and consprators in this hellish work
are in the hands of the authorities. 1t is
probable also that confessions will be OBJ
tanned that will still further disclose the
plots. participants and proceedings OF
the murderous gang. Enough is already
known however to prove the atrocity Of
the dynamity conspiracy. 1t wears, ofar,
the appearance Of being carried on by
lrishmen, as part and parcel of the vio
lent methods employed to force
an end of British rule in the affairs OF
ireland.
Should this prove to be so when the
facts are fully investigated and known,
sympathy for Ireland's wrongs will be
overwhelmed in Indignation and horror
at the crime intended. Wholesale butch
cry of innocent people in London, by the
destructive agency of dynamite, will not
help Ireland out of her misery. Such a
tremendous piece of wickedness could
only produce one eiiect-to turn the SEN
timent of the world against Ireland. and
cause people to say that she is only fit to
be ruled with an iron hand

A Bill in Regard to Explosives.

LONDON, April 3.
A bill to amend the law in regard to explo-
sives was introduced in the Commons this
afternoon by Sir VIM. Harcourt, read the
first time, taken up in the committee OF the
whole, and passed through the committee
without being altered. Its progress was
then reported amid cheers, and the bill
passed the third reading. The government
is much surprised at the prompt action taken
on the bill, as they expected it would be con
sidered longer in the committee. The bill
also empowers the master Of any vessel TO
break open any packages in search OF explo-
sives. The act refers to explosives proper
and to materials for making them, or to any
machine or part thereof connected with them.
1t contains no retrospective clause.
Sir VIM. Harcourt's bill passed the Com
mons and was Immediately sent to the Lords
where it was adopted without delay. The
Royal assent will be received BY telegraph
today and the act will become a law to-
morrow.

MIR. Blaine's New Work.

The Washington correspondent of the Phil
sdelphia Press saws Ex-Secretary Blaine is
still hard at work at his book on the politics
of the past twenty years, and he can be seen
almost every day in the archives of the State
Department searching for statistics and data.
Unlike most great authors, Mr.. Blaine does
not leave this part of his work to an assistant,
hut attends to it himself Besides this, he
has found that he can get along faster with
out n stenographer than with one, and he has
therefore, given up dictation. The whole
burden of the work thus falls on his should
ers, and. together with his social and other
duties, makes up pretty good days labor for
him.
The Secretary expects to finish the first
volume of the work during the present year.
and i, will probably be published Immediately.
After he has finished this part he will take a
few months rest and then begin work on the
second volume. The scope, design and aim
of the whole book are clearly set forth in the
following extracts from the preface
The twenty years of Congress between the
Inauguration of Lincoln in 1861 and the
inauguration of Garfield in 1881 were the
most important in our history as a Nation
The entire period was filled with momentous
events. Legislation during the progress of
the war, in aid of the great armies which up
held the Government, through the period in
which the Union was reconstructed on new
and enduring foundations: on the finances
during the era of paper money and the
subsequent return to the standard of coin !:
on slavery, and the emancipation which came
generations before philanthropsts had dared
to hope: on taxation, exercised and enforced
to a degree beyond all precedent, vet always
sustained by popular majorities on industrial
development so wisely fostered that. despite
the waste of thousands of millions BY the
ravages of war. the aggregate wealth of the
people was doubled in a single decade -
legislation on these great subjects forms the
vital history of the country, and is worthy OF
commemoration.
During the years when these legislative
deliberations were in progress. much was
done in Congress Of inferior Importance and
temporary interest To separate the valuable
and the permanent from the valueless and
transient of this historic epoch, and to give a
clear and connected account of the really
great events in the Senate and House of
Representatives. is the aim of the work. II
10 not intended to be an sbridgement of the
proceedings of Congress, or a mere compen-
dunn of debates yet no important trsnsac-
ton in either branch is omitted. and no dis
cussion worthy of honorable mention is over
looked. The design necessarily includes,
within the limits of careful discretion. the
narrative of many facts which could not
appear in an official report. as well as a fair
and just estimate of the men who have been
most prominent and influential in the two
Houses of Congress.
It would be obviously impossible to present

A rich treat is no doubt in store for those
who attend the well executed drama at WI

try. and he is supported by well selected
company. We bespeak for them good

Tie great mystery just at present is "Where
is Werzler's goat?" He has not been seen since
the night of the fire. Probably the ''odd
Fellows" can solve the mystery.
The bond of Mr.. J. B. Thomas as post
master, has been executed. He has taken
the oath OF office and the papers have been
sent to Washington. 50 that he will probably
receive his commission IN a few days.
