A statue, of Prof. Henry, the great
scientist, SO long at the head of the
Smithsonian Institute, was unveiled, in
Washington, last week. The statue is
from a model, by wv Story, and 'repre-
sents Prof. Henry in an academic gown,
standing in an easy attitude. His left
hand rests lightly upon small pedestal
at his side, and his right holds together
the folds of the gown across his breast.
He is looking intently at some object,
his head slightly thrown back, and his
eyebrows elevated. The features are
said to resemble more the OIL painting
in the Smithsonian than the photo
graphs selected by the family. The
statue is somewhat more than life-size.

Accidental ExploSi0n.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April q. Kittan-
ming, forty-four miles from Pittsburgh,
was startled this afternoon by q loud
explosion which shook the whole town.
Upon investigation it was found that
couple of cans of arctic powder had
exploded in car at the depot. The
explosion made sad havoc among the
houses within two squares, hardly leav-
ing a whole pane of glass in any of
them. Pieces of the wreck were found
| four or five squares away. The car
which contained the powder was blown
to splinters. The sliding-door on the
accommodation train and baggage-car
was blown into the middle of the car.
Walter DIffenbacker had his leg badly
cut, and the conductor had his head
slightly injured. The baggage-master
was sleeping in his cot at the time,
and escaped without being injured.
John Hile was on the car next the one
which contained the powder and was
thrown down upon his face. bot escaped
without injury. Harry Lakes, who
was setting up grain drill near the
depot, was hit with flying brick and
knocked over. a horse of r.. Breney,
in stable next to the car, escaped,
while some of the flying debris knocked
in the whole side of the stable. A
couple of men named Richardson, with
a team within ten feet of the car, were
knocked down, and also escaped with
out injury, but one of the horses was
slightly injured A lad who was at
least half mile away, stated that he
/ had been hit on the nose with nail.
When the explosion occurred quite a
number of citizens ran out Of the stores
with the impression that their buildings
were falling. The accident was oecas-
toned by William Rheem and Wyley
Reynolds who were practicing shooting,
and shot into the powder and set it off.
The powder was shipped as merchan-
| disc.

Another Visitor for Iowa.

Dies MONIES, Iowa. April PA cy-
clone passed up the Maple river valley
early last evening, following pretty close
along the spur of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway which strikes off
from Manly junction. At Danbury the
storm seems to have done its chief work.
The Catholic church was wrecked, three
houses were blown down, and the con-
tents of Undergrad were scattered
over the prairie. Several barns were
demolished. The damage done is esti-
mated at $4,000. A heavy rain, ac-
companied by thunder and lightning,
visited this city last night, and reports
from outside points show that il was of
broad extent. The rain continued most
of the night and portion of to-day.

A One.Legged Wild Man.

A wide man of fierce aspect and pc
culiar shape has been discovered by
travellers in forest sixty miles west OF
Onkaparinga. The trunk of his body
terminates in single leg, which is more
than twice the thickness of an ordinary
leg. The heel of the single foot pro-
iects some five or six inches behind the
ankle bones, while the foot itself is
broad and flat and of extraordinary
length. So quick is the man in his
actions that he can get over the ground
with much greater rapidity than 0 man
can run blessed with two stout legs. He
moves on series of long hops, and he
has been seen to hop across streams
twelve and fifteen feet wide. The at
tempts of travellers to effect the mans
capture proved Intellectual.

Not Much Encouraged.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The Ohio
Republicans here do not feel much en-
couraged over the political prospect
this fall. The Scott liquor tax bill does
not please the Republican leaders at all.
1t is said to be simply repetition OF
the blunder of last winter. The issue
in the Legislature was between members
from the country and city districts, and
the former prevailed The leaders OF
the party wanted constitutional
amendment submitted to the people,
but the rural members outnumbered
the others, the result being law which
imposes a license of $500 on the traffic,
and prohibits it altogether on Sunday.
The liquor dealers will take test case
to the supreme court.
