The explosion which is to blow Flood Rock
out of existence some time within the next few
DAYS will probably attract much less attention
than the Hell Gate explosion Of 1876. Then
the cars were stopped on the east-side avenues
at about 9Oth-st., and crowds were kept at
comparatively great distance from the mine,
but the danger proved TO be none at all, and the
danger lines this time will be much less extern
sive than nine years ago. glance at the cut
on the first page of this paper will give com
prehensive idea of their extent. While there is
no scientific doubt that the explosion will be
entirely successful, there will be little or no
spectacular effect. The engineers were not
working for that and will not waste one OF the
100000 pounds of dynamite upon the air OF
water. The explosion VIII spend all its force
Oh the rocks beneath.

The Washington correspondent
of the Telegram dishes up bit Of
political gossip to the effect that
Blaine is considering the POSSIBLE
ity of removing to the far West,
tempted by the promise of Sena-
torial position.
The correspondent says that 1t Is
a fact that direct overtures have
been made to him from two differ
ent States to take this step.
Blaine has never been very popu-
lar in the East. His strength has
always been in the West. The
people in that section like his dash
and vim. He would be an ideal
Western Senator. One of these
States is California. Senator Mil
ler's health is in a precarious con-
dition. and it is even now a doubt
full question whether he will be
able to return here this Winter.
His term of office expires in March,
1897.

obtain land in this State for the location
of this factory, but says TINT he was uu.

MIR. Wenzel has been in Charleston for
several days with view to making ar.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.

Th Atlanta Constitution speaks Of in.
dustrial training in that city as no longer
dream but an actual reality. "In our
industrial school," says the Constitution,
"a boy is not permitted to become a
specialist. He is instructed In all the
principles that underlie both classes Of
work. In measure, he must learn how
to work in both wood and iron. He
must learn how to do mechanical draw
ing. The arithmetical problems Of both
trades are parts of his lessons. There il
but one way to hold hammer, or any
other tool; this ia taught. How to
sharpen and care for tools, aud how TO
make them, are all practiced. What is
the result? There are bright boys in the
school in Marietta street, who, in ths
opinion of those qualified to speak, IRE
competent to earn in our shops the wages
of mechanics, although they have been
in school only three months" If schools
of this kind prepare boys and young
men for earning livelihood by the hon.
est exercise of both brain aud muscle, it
is pity that there is not ono in every
town in the land. Many young men,
now lying around loose waiting for q
job" might, in shcSt time, be prepared
for doing such work as they are now in.
capable of doing. The sooner the Idle
young men of the large towns and small
villages wake themselves up 10 the inn
portance of exercising their brains and
developing their muscles in dead earnest,
the better It will be for them, aud the
better for the country. That ambition
which reaches its goal in position be-
hind the counter in some retail store Is
getting to be too common. There are
other fields for usefulness and other
channeis TO success. That pride which
would remove one from that sphere of
labor for which nature. intended him and
for which she specially endowed him, is
born in sin and is itself tho father Of un.

GEOGRAPHY.

This is pre.eminently the age Of pro-
gress in the matter of school teaching
and school work. Thirty years ago, in
this country, children were taught gcog.
raphy after the old plan SO well known
TO our parents-the plan that gave many
of them such distastn and in some in
stances such perfect antipathy against
that beautiful and useful science. We
trus. our teachers have not all thrown
their textbooks aside to be covered with
dust during the long Summer months.
They expect to teach again. Let them
be wide awake. And let many moments,
that might be otherwise unproftabiy
spent, be given TO accumulating ammu.
milton and arranging your plans for the
next battle with ignorance. Daring this
long recess, use your field glass, get your
position, raise your Notifications, and he
snre that nothing is wanting when the
campaign opens. You have an advanced
class in geography next session. What
are you going to do with that class? Are
you prepared to teach them nil they are
prepared to be taught? If 20, you arc
happy teacher, and fortunate are your
patrons and pupils. You want 10 teach
your class something about South Caro-
lima. You know great deal abou. that
State; you flatter yourself, at least, that
you do, since you have ttudicd it 80
much. Well, how do you propose to
teach it-after the same old plans your
teachers followed7 My friend, if you
do, you are asleep, you are fossil ask
some friend to get you by the shoulders
and back you up into corner and shake

action was said to be done "under the
rose" by which expression the most
profound secrecy was implied. Accord
ing TO Others, .his term originated in the
fable of Cupid giving the rose to lIarpo
crates, the god Of silence, as a bribe to
prevent him betfaying the amours Of
Venus, and was hence adopted as the
emblem of silence. The rose was for
this reason frequently sculptured on the
ceilings of drinking and feasting rooms,
as warning to the guests that what was
said in moments of Convivialty should
not be repeated; from which, what was
intended to be keep, secret was said to be
held "under the rose" Roses were con-
secratcd as presents from the Pope. In
1926 they we're placed over confessionals,
as the symbols of secrecy. Hence, ac.
cording to some, the origin of the phrase.

BROTHER JONATHAN.

The origin Of this term. rs applied to
the United States, is as follows When
Genera Washington, after being ap-
pointed commander Of the army Of the
revolutionary war, went TO Massachusetts,
to organize it, he found a great want of
ammunition and other means for its de.
fence ! and on one occasion it seemed
that no means could he devised for the
necessary safety. Jonathan Trumbull,
the elder, WAS then Governor Of the
State of Connecticut, and the General,
placing tho greatest reliance on hi. ex.
cellcncy's judgment, remarked, eve
must consult Brother Jonathan on the
subject" The General did so; and the
Governor was successful in supplying
many Of tie wants of the army: and
thencciorth. when difficulties arose aud
the army WAS spread over the country, it
became by.phrase. "Wo must consult
Brother Jonathan :" aud the name has
now become a designation lo, the whole
country, MS John Ball has for England.

An Angry. Judge.

The late Chief Justice Bigelow, of
Massachusetts, was naturally hot temper.
ed, but on one occasion was brought to
his bearings In a way as effective as il
was amusing. He was riding in q car
which did not stop at Quincy, where he
resided, and, as II was passing by, he
pulled tue rope aud the train was brought
to sudden stop. The conductor rushed
into the car and demanded, "Who rang
that bell ? ~ did," said tho Chief
Justice "Why7" Because wanted
to get off; at which the railroad official
in1alged in some remarks which were
not complimentary aud hardly respectful,
Tho Judge aflerward complained to the
Pfesidentof the Road, who promised 10
look into tho matter. But he found that,
although the; conductor might have used
hot Language the Chief Justice was not
without fault aud said nothing about &c.
When they next met by chance, the
latter demanded 0f The President whether
he had repsimanded the conductor. II

\ Cnrlous Game Of Chance.

=. a
Dropping into the private Office Of n
big firm of brokers recently | found the
principals, together with number Of
friends absorbed in curious game Of
chance. On the table round WHICH the
players were gathered there was small
oblong box. A railing ran around tho
edges and tho lid was punctured with
holes. Four Jumps Of sugar, numbered
from one to four, were laid on this box,
and the players watched them sedu,
lously.
BY and by a cockroach emerged from
one Of the holes and c,awled up the
lump of sugar marked number two. In
stantly one of the observers scoopcd a
sum of money from off the table. He
had bet OH number two, aud these were
his winnings.
I watched the curious game for an
hour, during which good deal of cash
changed hands, and not n word was ut
tered. A certain cockroach which lost
to one player nearly 5000 was inconti.
nently assassinated by the unfortunate
broker, who crucified It with penknife.
"Is this game popular all along the
streot?" asked Of one Of the gam 6lera.
ut is only played at.two.or three ofns
ces. In the Summer we use flies; iii the
winter cock.roachcs have to he utilized.
You see it's perfectly fair, because the
bug acts independently and impartially."

First Settlement Of the Earth.

According to the opinion commonly
received, the general deluge recorded hy
Moses, occurred about the year Of the
world 1860, and $3.50 before the Christian
era. There is a difference, however,
among chronologists, Of from one to three
hundred years, on account OF different
ages assigned to antediluvian palriarchs.
A bout one hundfed and fifty years from
tho deluge, that is, about two thousand
two hundred years before our. era, accord.
ing to the common computation, the
inhabitants were considerable in the part
of the earth where they lived, there
being then five generations, including
the sons of Noah, who lived to a great
age. The building or the attempt 10
build Babel, theseparation of the human
race and their dispersion into distant
regions is usually fixed Mt this period.
Some of them, The children and grand.
children Of Ham. went South TO- Canaan
or Palestine. and thence some of them
into Egypt, where the climate Is mild
aud the soil rloh, and soon became n
numerous people. Japhet settlod in
moro Northern or Northwestern. parts or
Asia, and thence passed into Europe.
And the descendants Of Shem settled
Chaldca, and thence emigrated into the
Eastern and Southeastern parts of Aaia,
The people of India are certainly an
ancient race. Some people supposed
that Noah himself lived three hundred
years afler the food
