Appalling Disaster.

ANTWERP, Germany, sept. "A
dynamite bomb exploded in the cart
ridge factory in the vicinity OF the
Bourse, causing great loss OF life and
doing much damage to property.
Parts OF the Bourse were struck by
burning fragments and set On fire,
causing panic i'll that building which
was crowded at the time. Three hun
dred were killed and 1000 injured in
Yesterdays explosion. \ majority
were workmcn but the number includes
several soldiers and iiremcn The fac
tory was situated back OF the docks, on
which millions OF cartridges were be
ing loaded.
4 large quantity Of petroleum was
stored in an adjacent factory, which
was fired by the burning fragments,
10000 barrels burning tiercely. The
city was soon enveloped in smoke.
The explosion started in the work
shops, where large number OF old
cartridges were being taken to pieces.
Many employees were breaking up cart
ridges. Fully 100000 of these were
stored in and about the premises.
The damage to property will reach
many millions.
The explosions are supposed to be
due to packages OF cartridges which
were stored i'll the building, and seem
to remain intact until the flames are
actually upon them. Shipping at the
African-American docks is in serious
danger and all facilities for removing
the vessels from the vicinity are being
pressed into service. OF the employees
in the Cornifaines cartridge factory,
none were found alive, nor corpse in
tact. The explosion was like an earth
quake, and broke nearly every window
in the city. All the hydraulic ma.
chinery is ruined, and the water is Gov

Army Douqhnuts.

A Massachusetts, officer details
with evident enjoyment some forag-
ing exploits of the Northern army
during Sherman's great march. Ore
of these was of sort which even the
bitterest Confederates might have
enjoyed.
One day forager noted an orna-
mental shrub growing in a yard in
red clay, with marks Of black loan
on it. 1t struck him that it was not
in its native soil, and he went for
that bush. 1t easily came out of the
ground, and out of the hole under it,
Of which it was the telltale, came a
whole stock of provisions and family
clothing.
Another of our men, while cross
ing plowed field, was attracted by
suspicious signs, and running his
ramrod into the ground a foot down
it struck something solid. The kind
hearted finder FASTENED to make 9TH
ers rich as well as himself. He ran
down to the band, with two tin cups
running over, one with syrup the 9TH
er with peach butter, while the deli
cious sweets dripped from his cloth
ing and his person, as if in .confrma-
ton of his pleasing tale. PLENTY
more right up there forty-ffve hogs

Sometimes a mistake was made.
One of the band, passing log house,
levied ON it for calabash of lard,
and the usual batch OF doughnuts
was fried that night. A peculiar fla
vor, supposed to be due to an excess
of soda, was noticed but hard-mar-
ched men, with sharkish appetites,
did not stop for trifes. Daylight
revealed the fact that the doughnuts
had been fried in soft soap.

looking after the finances, prevent
ing the crooks and the dishonest
from filching the peoples taxes, but
the churches, through their pastors
and ministerial associations, should
become recognized co-laborers for
the advancement Of the schools and
for the benefit of the pupils. 1t has
been well said, "build the school hou-
SEES, and the churches will soon be
found by their side" If true, then
the churches, or the representatives
thereof, should give equal strength
to the primary source of growth in
Christianity. We suggest, first, that
the pastors Of the various churches
of the town, without regard to de-
nomination or politics, regularly visit
the schools. This will not injure
either teacher or pupil. Secondly,
we advise the election of two minis
tiers as members of the school board.
This, for the reason that as rule,
they are well educated, and we might
add, have more time to visit the
schools than the business men. A
little walk, short talk and prayer
now and then at the schools at 9 a.
m. will not injure them. There will
be enough left for the business ele-
ment, both by way of watching the
educational, moral and business in
terests. Lastly, we suggest that two
ministers and one layman or business
man be elected at the coming cleo
ton for School Commissioners, and
that neither politics or denomination
be considered as the test. Like the
Lords table, these schools are for
all the people and their children

A Relic From Chickamauga.

At the B. & O. freight depot last
week was seen an uniqe reminder of
the civil war. Some friend of Hon.
S. B. Elkins, at or near Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn, had procured the souve-
mir, which had been shipped from
there through the firm of G. w. Bratt
Il Co., and was en- route to the dis
tinguished West Virginian. 1t is a
piece of hard scrub oak timber, IA
inches long and a inches through,
in which are imbedded two pound
cannon balls, wedged in so tightly as
if they were part of the timber. 1t
is a grim reminder of the hard-fought
field of Lookout mountain, the battle
above the clouds, or Chickamauga,
and will no doubt be highly priced
by Mr.. Elkins, both as reminder of
the last reunion of the Army of the
Cumberland and as relic of the war
for the Misunderstanding Jour
nal

An Epidemic of HYdrophobia.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Oct. IA
regular epidemic of hydrophobia is
reported on Peters Greek, Clay Coun-
ty, w. Va. For the past three
months mad dogs have been on the
rampage, and quite a number of hogs
and other smaller animals have died
from the effects of their bites. For
tunately but one man, Joe Williams,
has been bitten, and the results were
not serious in his case, as the dog
had not been attacked with spasms
before he made the attack. The peo-
pie go along the roads armed with
guns in order to protect themselves,
and considerable excitement prevails.
A few days ago r. King and Horner
Bell were attacked by rabid dogs.
They succeeded in killing them with
out being bitten.

A very commendable effort is be-
ing made by General Golf and others
to induce Secretary Tracy, of the
Navy, to bestow the name of Wheel
ing upon one of the vessels being
built. They ask that this be done in
honor of the city of that name and
in honor of the battle fought there
near the close of the Revolution.
1t has been suggested, also, that
one of the new cruisers might with
propriety be named The Shepherds

at that place that steam was first
successfully applied to navigation.

THERE are two kinds o. girls.

There were l42 cotton mills in
operation in the Southern States in
1880 Now there are $50. The in
crease in the number of mills is not
so great as the increase in the ca
pacity of production. The average
dividends earned by these Southern
mills will not fall below per cent.
The Philadelphia Record is of the
opinion that this prosperity illus
trates the value of free raw material
and the further advantage of bring
ing the mills and the material to-
gether. AS long as cotton shall be
grown and made into cloth, the cot
ton manufacture established in the
Southern States will be a permanent
and fourishing industry.

Savings the Foundation of Wealth.

The man who saves something
every year, quotes contemporary,
who had heard the remark from every
quarter, is on the road to prosperity.
1t may not be possible to save much.
If not, save little. Do not think
that a dollar or dime is too small a
sum to lay by. Everybody knows
how little expenditures get away
with large sums. But few seem to
know that the rule is one that works
both ways. If dime spent here
and dollar there soon makes large
hole in a mans income, so do dimes
and dollars laid away soon become a
visible and respectable accumulation.
In this country any man can make him.

AN EYCELI ENT SERMON.

Rev. F. NJ. Woods gave his hear
ers sermon on last Sunday that, to
our mind, deserves endorsement
There was more of christianity and
less of what people term pulpit ia
naticism in it, than one ordinarily
hears these days. Salvation by way
of mediation through the blood of
Christ crucified, is sweet and per-
suasive doctrine, that touches the
tenderest chords and should soften
the hardest heart, without the usual
anathemas of destruction. The truth
is, human nature, when in strength,
is a resisting compound, especially
as to terrorism, but when weak in
the flesh, wearied with worry and
work, able only to catch fading
glimpses Of the beautiful world ,groan-
ing with pain, possibly trying now
and then, by straining the vision, to
look over into 'the Beyond" one is
more likely to think Of TIE weight
and burden Of his own sins, than he
is to call in question either the fail
ings of a church hypocrit or fellow
sinner. 1t is then, that christianity
broadens in Che human heart, and
the mind in reality and truth wakens
up to the fact, chat this last zone
touch of nature makes all the descen
dants Of Adam of kin"
