WASHINGTON, April 24.-It is alleged
that President Cleveland is to use West
ern expression, ''getting scared about him

the presidency is more wearing position
than the govemorship of New York He

of labor, to resume his daily walks, to
which he has attributed his good health,
and to hasten his removal to the Soldiers

The RebeIs Fleeing.

IN CAMP, % MILES NORTH OF CLARK's
CROSSING, a. m, April 25.-The scouts
of AIiddleton's division, when proceeding
south this morning were fired upon
from ravine. They held their ground un-
til the main force, consisting of Winnipeg
rifles, A battery, c company, Toronto and
Boulton's cavalry arrived. Skirmish-
ing became general and the rebel
fire was very destructive. The engagement
lasted from o till 2. The rebels were driven
off leaving few in the corner of the ra-
vine, which is now surrounded by Middle
toms force. They proved themselves
good shots and would kill good many
men if an attempt were made to close in on
them. When firing commenced Lord Mel
gund started to cross from the
west side of the river with a
part of the Toronto grenadiers and Winni-
peg battery, but they were too late for the
engagement. The remainder will probably
cross tomorrow and the rebels be followed
by the whole force.
The rebel losses are not known. The
Eiddleton dead will be buried tomorrow,
and the wounded taken care of by the hos

How Dynamite is Made.

The most powerful engine of destruc-
ton ever discovered is prepared in a
manner so marvelously easy that the
wonder is mankind have not availed
themselves of it long ago. Dynamite,
from the Greek word dunamis, meaning
power, is simply nitro-glycerine. The
glycerne is produetpf animal fat,
usually of hogs lard.
Take one pound of nitric acid to two
of sulphuric acid and mix thoroughly.
The acids must be of full strength and
purity. The mixture will cost 80 cents
pound. Put seven pounds of it into
an earthen jar, aud pour upon it, drop
by drop, one pound of common crude
glycerine, which can be gotten for IL
cents. Stir with glass rod, and keep
the jar in ice, or salt and ice, or the
thing will 60 of before you are ready
for it. The sulphufc acid does not en-
ter AS constituent into the explosive,
but serves to facilitate the chemical
union of the other ingredients. When
the chemical combination is complete,
nitro-glycerine will be found settled
to the bottom, while water and oil Of
vitriol float on top. These are poured
off, and the nitro-glycerine thoroughly
washed to free it from any remaining
acids. 1t is then complete, yellowish,
sticky, oily mass, which will ego off"
almost for the looking at it. 1t must be
toned down before it can be used. This
is done by mixing with a rough pow
der as an Observation-Disclosures dried saw
dust or old tanbark, or pulverized silica.
The substance most commonly used for
this purpose, however, is vegetable
earth from Germany, which absorbs
and holds three times its weight of the
explosive. The dynamite of commerce
is not full strength, rs it would be too
dangerous. Commonly it contains 40
per cent. nitro-glycerine to go Of the
earth. In this state, as an explosive, it
is four and one-half times as explosive
as gunpowder.

Pslpitation or rapid beating of the

FARsu AND asOUsEmol.D.

SUCCESSIVE FARM TALK.-It Is an in
disputable fact that farm work can be
done at less expense with mules than
with horses. They will stand more hard
work and bad treatment, eat one-third
less, and are rarely sick.
Whether farmers horses or cattle
will .'eat their heads OFF, depends
chiefly on what sort Of head their owner
has. He should keep just as many ami
mails as he can manage probably.
1t saves a great deal Of work to do
what is to be done at just the right time.
The farmer who is always little be-
hind with his work is generally poor
one-poor in management and fore
thought at least.
IL is of little use TO expect to do well
at farming under any system OF slipshod
culture. Some seasons favor the lazy
man, hut, as rule, one cannot cheat
the soil. Ii is only rich land that gives
large crops.
An exchange wisely says that rocky
forest land had better he kept i'm WOODS
until the rest of the farm is i'm the high
est possible state of cultivation. There
are millions of heres OF poor land partly
cultivated that ought never to have
been cleared off. OF that which is
plowed not one acre i'm ohe thousand is
made to produce half as much as IL
would produce if thoroughly titled and
wisely fertiiized.

startling . Ce.s-es..I...

Some Of the travelling preachers OF
the past have delivered sermons moro
startling than edifying, and condescend-
ed to tricks to arrest and take the atten-
ton of the hearers. Lorenzo Dow, who
was one Of those preachers, it IL said,
was on his way to preach in South Car
olina, under large pine tree, when he
overlook a eolored lad who was blow
ing a long tin horn, and conld send
forth blast, with rise and swell and
cadence. which walked the echoes Of the
distant hills. Calling aside the blower.
Dow said to him:
What's your name, sir?"
"My name Gabriel, sir" said the
brother In ebony. o..
"Well, Gabriel, have you been TO
Church HIP" --
Eyes. massa, Use been there many
time"
"Do you remember the big pine tree
on top Of the hill?" pc
so yes, massa, knows dat pine"
"Did you know that Lorenzo Dow
was TO preach there to-morrow" "
Eyes, massn, everybody knows dat"
"Well, Gabriel, am Lorenzo Dow;
and if you will take your horn and go
tomorrow morning before the people
begin To come, and climb up into the
tree and wait there until call your
name, and then blow blast like the
one l heard just now, IN give you
dollar. will you do it, Gabriel?"
Eyes, massa, takes dat dollar"
Gabriel, like Zaccheus, was hid away
in the tree in due time. An immense
eoncourse Of persons assembled AT the
appointed hour, and Dow preached on
the judgment of the last day. By his
power Of description he wrought the
multitude up to the opening of the
scenes of the resurrection and the last
grand assize at the call of the trumpet
peals which are TO wake the sleeping
sdiu nv SuPpooS,
my dying friends, that this should be
the hour. Suppose at this moment you
should hear the sound of Gabriel's trum-
pet" Sure enough, just then, the trum-
pet of Gabriel sounded. The women
shrieked, and many tainted; some ran,
fell and cried for mercy; and all felt
that the judgment was set, and the
books were opened. Dow stood and
watched the drifting storm till the
flight abated, aud some one discovered
the colored angel who had caused the
alarm, quietly perched upon the limb
of the old tree, and wanted to get him
down and whip BIN, aud then resumed
his theme, sayins: i forbid all persons
present from touching that boy up there.
If Il colored boy with tin horn can

will you do when you shall. hear the

Do ToADs Do HARM?-Strange as it

with some black caterpillars about
three fourths of IN inch long. When
he had fed a hundred he was tired, but

Montreal, Ont, ON the 22d with great pomp
and ceremony. A mass was sung by
Father Lajeunesse, cousin Of Albani.
Rome dispatches Of the 23d state that
many more villages in Italy are reported
devastated by avalanches. Most of the cas-
ualties seem to have occurred In the Prov
ince Of Cuneo, south Of Piedmont. AT Fras-
sino the number killed Is now stated at 140,
only forty-one bodies having been recov-
cred. Twelve houses were demolished and
forty-two persons killed at Devies. The
village of Rabasso is almost completely
buried under the snow; scores of people
have been killed there, and hundreds are
wounded, homeless and in great distress.
II is learned that Japan has voluntarily
reduced the amount required of Corea as
indemnity for the recent outrage upon
japanese subjects from $3.50, 600 to $1,000.
News reached Quebec on the 23d that
four men were frozen to death near st.
Anne's parish during the recent great
snow storm. The bodies OF two were
recovered; the other two are yet covered
by the storm. A Mr.. Langlois and a
farmer named Acton Vale were also found
frozen to death in the vicinity.
Private dispatches from Korti received
in England on the 23d contain the startling
information that General Stewards troops
had been compelled to retreat from his
position at Metemneh by reason of an over
whelming force Of the enemy and was now
encompassed in the desert. The dispatches
further state that General Stewards forces
were completely hemmed in and his retreat
cut Oft. In this emergency, IL is stated, he
had thrown up entrenchments and was
awaiting relief. The Government officials
give no credence to the report and point to
circumstances going to show that the news
is highly improbable.
Twenty persons were injured, several Of
them fatally, by collision between two
