TERRIFIC POWDER EXPLOSION.

 Tub of Nitro Giycerine ExpIOdes Ten
 Tons of Giant Powder-GreRt Damage.
 A large quantity of powder stored in shed on Delaware Greek, four miles from Toledo, Ohio, exploded at ten o'clock Thursday morn ing, making 8 report which was heard for forty miles in every direction. The windows of houses in that quarter of the city near the scene were generally broken. At the Broadway School three miles distant, the windows were smashed and the slats holding the windows up were broken. .-r
 Awagon containing man and three women, ill the road, 100 yards away, was blown into a ditch, but none of the occupants were seri- ously injured. Fences were leveled in the vicinity and limbs were blown from the trees The ruins caught fire.
 The explosion was in the giant powder fac tory of A. J. < O. B. Rummel, consisting of a packing house, magazine and stock house, sit- uated on Crown Little Knoll, on the Delaware Creek, and surrounded by dense thicket of trees. The workmen ill the packing house were thawing out tub containing twenty-six pounds of nitro-glycerine, and set it too near the fire. The tub caught fire and the men gave an alarm. An instant after the tub ex- ploded the concussion set of the magazine containing ten tons of giant powder, known to the trade as "Gfeat Western" powder. The stock building was blown down, imprisoning the men working there, and immediately caught fire.
 All extricated themselves speedily, with no greater injury than slight bruises, except Rne- land Gault, who was badly bruised all over the body, and in getting out Of the blazing ruins his clothing caught on fire and he dashed into the creek to extinguish the flames He will probably recover. A house near by owned by a man named Bench was badly shattered and another belonging to Mir. Wilson was entirely wrecked.
 The House of Refuge, half mile away, had the wall on that side nearest the scene of the explosion shattered near the top Over eighty of the windows were smashed, including the sashes. One side was blown of an icehouse 100 yards away. Barns and fences near by were demolished, and number of telegraph poles thrown down. A panic was caused ill two of the city tchoolhouses, and in the stam- pede many children were badly bruised, but none seriously injured. The total loss on the powder works and the powder in stock is about s10,000. The explosion was felt at Detroit, 1;okn oP aiYtv n1ilna

WaSteruI WinterIng.

Much feed is thrown away every win ter in the common management of stock, says Farmer Curtis, of Kirby Homestead. do not mean the fodder actually wasted in farmyard or stable, but that which is fed, especially to younger animals. For instance, suppose I feed four calves and six yearlings all winter and in spring they are no larger than in the previous fall, how much of the fodder they consumed is wasted9 l will have pile of manure proportionate to the fodder eaten, but it will be worth no more than the cost of the labor in taking care of the stock. In order to realize any gain on these animals l must wait for the extra growth they may make in summer pasture. This, un- doubtedly, is the actual result of win tering large proportion of the young cattle in this country. They are fed enough to keep them alive, or it may be better than this, to enable them to about hold their own, that is not to fall away much. Brethren, there is no profit in that kind of management, as you can all sec.
 When an animal is fed enough to maintain life and locomotion, and this, of course, is necessary, such additional food as it may have will naturally, if if isn't required to keep it from freezing (which is not often the easel, make growth, if 8 young one, and more flesh if it is matured or full-grown. This growth, or increase, will be according to the kind of food given. If the food is coarse or weak, such as straw or poor hay, the animal cannot consume more than enough to maintain vitality, hence stronger or richer food is essential to profits. I should expect to obtain this, with calves, by giving them each 8 quart a day of bran and oiI-meal, mixed, two parts bran and one part oil. meal. They would be kept in a roomy stable, with rack for hay on one side and feed-boxes for the meal on the other, and trough in the stable fol water, to be carried to them. would not let these calves out of the stable once during the winter. It would bt cleared out every day and little fresh litter scattered on the floor.
 If these calves had a feeding of roots with their meal, should consider theil management about perfect, but all the roots l had might be needed for fatten ing cattle. But the calves would gel all the hay they would eat. The year lings, on the contrary. would be tied 1T the stable with halters. This treatment would get them accustomed to being handled, making them gentle. They would be fed double the quantity of th, same mixture, bran and meal, with { change from hay to cornstalks. They would be turned into the yard in thu middle of the day for drink. This twt quarts of meal would make growth, ant in spring I would expect them to bt larger than they were in the fall, and il equal, if not better, condition. Thi would more than pay for the meal, be cause they would go into pasture strong and vigorous, and begin at once, whicl would not be the case if they had noth ing in winter but the coarse fodder, fo then it would take a month perhaps tt get them started so that they woulC | thrive

Tea Persons Killed Outright aud soven-
 teen Injured.

A frightfui wreck occurred near the town of Hampstead, on the Houston and Texas Gen. tral Railroad, at about Friday morning. The scene of the wreck is about fifty miles north of Houston, and owing to the wires getting tangled up news of the occurrence was first brought by some of the crew of the wrecked train who came in on hand car. The story told by one of these men was to the following effect:
 It WAS the north-hound night express, which was going at speed of about twenty miles an hour. There is a bridge at the point where the accident occurred. The engine passed ever il safety, but the baggage and express cars flew the track, going down an embankment thirty feet The smoking car, two coaches, and two sleepers followed. The cars were crushed and broken into kindling wood The wreck i'm uediately caught fire, and it looked as though all the passengers in the ruins would be roast cd; but the engineer and fireman, who were on the engine and unhurt, worked hke heroes. and extinguished the flames before they at tained much headway. thus saving many per sous from a horrible death. As it was, ten per sons were killed and seventeen injured, some of tho latter being maimed for life.
 As soon as the dead were taken out and tho wounded cared for an investigation into the cause of the accident was begun. It was eyi. dent at the first glance that great crime had been commit d. Some person or persons had drawn the spikes and removed two fish plates evidently for the purpose of wrccking the train, but who the guilty parties arc has not yet been discovered

EYES OF CHILDRKN.-When both parents have eyes of the same color, sS per cent. of tho children follow their parents in this feature; and of the 12 per cent born with eyes other than the parental color part must be attributed to intermittent heredity. More females than males have black or brown eyes in the proportion of 49 to 45. With differ ent coIored eyes in the two parents, 53 per cent. of the children follow the fathers in being dsrk-eyed, and so per cent. follow their mother in being dark eyed.

TIE NEXT CONGRESS-.
roIItIcs of the Members of the House Ac.
 cording to Mir. MEcPherson.

Edward McPherson, Secretary of the Re- publican Congress Committee says that, from the most authentic information he has been able to secure, the next House of Representa- tiyes will consist of 1s2 Democrats, Al Repub- licans, Greenbacker fBrumm of Pennsyl- vania), aud Fusionist CNeaver of Iowa.. As compared with the membership of the various shows loss of 19 votes to the Democrats and to the Independents, and gain of 22 Repub- lican and Fusionist vote.
 This classification is subject to a possible change of two or three votes. The election of Weaver, of Iowa, Fusionst with Democratic proclivities. is only inferred from 8 dispatch published this morning. One or two of the Tennessee districts are claimed by the Repub- licans, but positive information has not yet been received about them. The Fifth Wiscon. sin district, still in doubt, is conceded by this estimate to the Democrats.

THE ELECTION.
ProclamatIons to the National COmmrtte,

On Saturday morning the Democratic Com mittee issued a proclamation directing the friends of Cleveland all over the country to celebrate his election Saturday noon. This order was very generally observed.
 On Saturday evening the Republican Ma tionsl Committee issued a proclamation ill which they said: The Republican National Committee are taking the most careful and thorough measures to ascertain errors, if any have been made, and frauds if any have been committed, ip the returns of the late election in the State of New York.
 If Mir. Cleveland shall be found to have a plurality of even one vote, prompt acquescence will follow from the Republicans of the United States. If Mir. Blaine shall be found to have 8 plurality of only one vote, prompt scquiescence will be expected from the Democrats of the United States
 The belief of this Committee, founded upon Investigation is that Mir. Blaine has a plurality of several hundred votes, and if that be SO, every honest man will demand that it be officially declared. Until the official Geclara- tion shall be made, we ask the public to unite with Us in an honorable effort to secure per fectly fair count.

THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
What Gen. Sheridan In His Annual RepOr
 Has to Say.

General Sheridan's annual report on the condition of the army commends it's good dis cipline and urges measures to foster the cavalry branch, which, he thinks, with magazine rifles. will in future wars do most of the fighting on land. The Lieutenant General expresses great inter- in the National Guard of the States, and hopes that the general government will aid the militia in every possible way.
 He earnestly invites immediate attention to the perfectly defenceless condition of our sea- board cities and their harbors against foreign naval attack. Although submarine torpedoes fired by electricity from shore stations, form an important feature of harbor defences, still, unless we'll protected by strong Notifications, they may be easily removed by an enemy, or be rendered comparatively harmless by cutting the wires leading to them.
