THE LEGISLATURES.

Among the numerous bills introduced
last week is one by Senator Goodrich
providing for the location of a second
States prison by commission. The
commissioners are authorized to inspect
the stone quarries of the state, and make
tests with view to determine the quality
aud value of the stone and its desirability
for and adaptability to convict labor, and
for such purpose may employ experts.
The commissioners shall receive IS per
day of work and their necessary expenses.
the sum Of $4,000 being appropriated for
such expenses and for suitable ground
for the prison, the tract SO purchased to
comprise not less than forty acres. We
are not in need Of another States prison
NJ present, and the bill ought not to pass.
The Senate has passed bill reducing
the rate OF interest on sales of school and
other public lands from to per cent.
This law will only affect new sales. The
unfortunates who have been paying per
cent. for many years may continue to pay
z per cent. Another bill also passed the
Senate the same day which is made ap-
plicable to present purchasers after June
list. This one ought to become law.
A Mr.. Mason has introduced bill in
the House to make township elections
biennial instead of annual. Why not?
Senator Morrison has introduced a bill

commission of five persons to locate a
third hospital for the insane ut some

DYNAMITE IN ENGLAND.
Terrible Explosions at the Parlia-
ment House and the White
Tower - Many People .
e. :: Injured---Great Elk
= =t element. :sss rs ~ u.

Saturday afternoon, Jan. "a, at q
o'clock, an explosion from concealed dy-
Mantle occurred in the White Tower,
London, England, and Ten minutes later
two explosions were heard in the Pa1lia
ment Houses. the later one being min
utes after the first. J.. " -:
At the tower, as the smoke lifted, it was
found 20 people had beeen injured, none
mortally. The roof was blown clear off
the structure. The report was terrific and
was heard for miles up and down the
Thames. AS this tower is used for the
storage of rifles, and often of large guam
titles of ammunition, the diaboiical char
acter of the effort is greatly intensified.
Thc sight of the wounded children with
faces and heads cut with tae flying splio-
tiers and glass, reused ali bebolders 20 a
frenzy of indignation.
In the Parliament buildings. great dam
age was done, but by fortunate combi-
nation of circumstances, the risk to lie
was diminished by large number Of peo
pie leaving the buildings to learn the
cause of the explosion at the tower The
western extremity of The building is a
complete wreck The glass root of the
House of Commons was totally destroyed,
and the place literally blown to atoms.
Had TIE Commons been ia session at the
time, not less than 200 OF the members
would have been. instantly killed, aud
Gladstone himself could not have escaped.
This dastardly attempt 10 destroy the
public buildings in London, with the in
e.vtable peril to the lives of muliitudes
of innocent people, sends thrill OF hor-
ror throughout the civilized world.
So far from being Of any benefit to the
cause of Irish independence, il will but
kiudlc into intenser flame the hatred OF
the English people, and lead to he most
stringent protective measures. Our gov
eminent, previous to the explosion in
London, had realized the fact of possible
danger from the plots Of Nihilists and
social orders of that class, and had in
preparation bill for the supervision of
the manufacture and sale of dynamite
aud kindred explosives. The Edmunds
bill, Lowering the principal features neces-
sary, was introduced in the Senate imme-
Gia,ely upon the recelp, of the news from
london, and action postponed until far
Their intelligence should be received from
England.
1t is too much to hope that our cities
will escape the plots of the socialists and
it is reported that an unsuccessful attempt
was made in Chicago on the custom house
few days since.

Some time ago the Breslau oculist, DIR. II.
COIN, on examining the eyes of seventy
five watchmakers, found that scarcely
per cent. of the number We're affected
with short -sightedness, which result
seemed to Justify the belief that the use
of the loupo was M excellent protection
against nyopia. Quite recently the same
oculist examined the eyes of fifty watch
makers in Freiburg watch factory, who
had for years, without using loupe,
worked the fine parts of watches, aud of
whom, nevertheless, only two were
slightly short-sighted. From this DIR.
COIN concludes that watch making is nm
industry not injurious to the eye, while,
considering the fact that his extensive
examinations among students has cstab-
lished IN average Of Sc per cent, among
compositors of 81 per cent. and of lithO-
graphers 81 per cent afflicted with
myopia, he comes TO the conclusion that
reading, writing, composing and drawing
are more injurious 10 the eyes than the
constant exercise of the visual organ in
connection with fine stationary objects.
