Iiion of ihi fttolru 1'ropt-riy le
nirniior of the I'rlnincr.
The prent Wnll sirppt liond robbery still con
tinnr, to be a U Rdiinr topic ot dit.ccfon among
the business men ot the tity. The principal
operator, as bits already bcii announcrd, was
taken Into custody by City Marshal Wctcott of
Newbiiryport, and two ot UnitPtl States Marshal
Murray's detectives of. this city. The plan ol
working tbeMoh was as iollows:lt was first
ascertained that Mr. Lord kept in his sate an
nnnMinlly larire amount ot available securities,
that he wns rather oarers in locking ttirin up
at niuht. Hint ho seldom looked at the boxes
con'ninln thent, and that a certain number of
dajs, two or three at least, niiulit elapso after
the robbery before thev would bo nilssed. fcteve
ral plans were concocted and abandoned, each
one involving a new party, until the number of
Beven were iiiirnsted wltli the secret.
Horace lirown (as be is called), the principal
ov'T&tor, nas selected to do the finer portion of
the work, lie saw it would not do to rob the
place at nlelit, as they might be discovered by
the patrol police carrvintr away the boxes con
taining the securities. It was, therefore, do
cidcd'Uuit the robbery roust bo committed in
the daytime. He viited the ofliee several times,
and ascertained the precise situation ot nfl'air.-t,
learned the habits of Mr. Lord, and so-n ascer
tained that he could easily anoroach hini on
Home business pretext. On Wednesday, tb day
of the robnerv, lirown and three accomplices
placed themselves near the door of the ollice.
The door of the safe at this lime stood witlo
open, and Mr. Lord was at his desk. Brown
entered, and made as an excuse that he vished
to rent an oflicc lor the purpose of doing; a
commission busiuess in hops and roakiug ad
vances upon tins staple.
He placed himsell in a position where his own
eye could command the door, and bejran talking
veTy earnestly to Mr. Lorn. Having secured
that ( entlcnian's undivided attention, he gave
the signal to bis accomplices, who entered sud
denly snd noiselessly, and abstracted the boxe-t,
Urowo at the same tune moving his leet to create
some noise, and spenkiup still more emphati
cally on the hop queM ion. As it is no unusual
matter to see tin boxes carried about Wnll street
at any time of the day, these, were taken with
perfect impunity, lirown left directly altcr
irarda and Joined his comrades. The bonds
were taken to u secure place and looked over.
The amount somewhat surprised the robbers,
who bad not eouiuVd upon any such extraordi
nary sum, and they conciatulatcd themselves
upon havinp made toe preatest hit of their lives.
A brief consultation resulted in tne following
disposition ot the bonds: To make eneh niau
secure it was proposed to divide them into seven
parcals, making about tho sum of $215,000 t
each man. This being done a rendezvous was
Appointed where at sonic time, to be decided
according to circumstances, tho parties should
meet and negotiate for their return. The first
thing was to await tne announcement of the
reward which tlicy were certain would bo
ollered. This dour1, the next matter was to fix a
time and place where the seven could meet and
negotiate the return ot tin property. T.oston was
the city chosen, and March 22 the day named
for the gathering of thm precious assemblage.
It is stated that some negotiation were already
pending when the Marshal's ollicers pounced
upon oneoi the parties.
City Marshall Weuteott. of Newbury port,
Mai-saehuselts, received information relative to
the whereabouts of Urown that led him to sus
pect that person was in some way mixed up in
the emu bond robbery. A h'j wanted Urown
upon another charae, he thought it would do no
harm to look after him. He accordingly started
for New York, gatherinsr inlortna'ion as he
went, and acertaining that Brown was in this
city and was just then contemplating to go to
Host on, he applied to United btutes Marshal
Murray of this city for assistance. Detectives
l'oore and Iiunshea ol the Marshal's office were
detailed for this business; met their man at tne
New Haven depot on Monday night week,
satchel in baud, end followed lain over to
lioston.
The arrest was made on the cars; but as Mar
thai Wesicott could hold the prisoner ou a
charge at Newburvporr, he was taken there at
once. .Detectives Heath and Jones, of Boston,
were then sent for, and had an interview with
the prisoner. Marshal Murray was telegraphed
by his men that the man was in 'custody, 'and
Cblet Young w as also sent for. lirown confessed
Lis guilt to the officers, and seemed to make no
scruples of how he had done the job. Chief
Young came oij armed with a power of attorney
from Mr. Lord to act the same as if that mdivi
d ual were present; but all attempts at negotiation
lor that time failed.
Brown's manner was that of a man fully im
pressed with the idea that be had the inside,
track and tho whip hand, and that he meant to
use both to the very best advantage. He
plump) y and plainly stated his case: That he
knew the locate of the bonds, that thev could
only be brought back through him, and that the
price he demadded forthem was $100,000 cash
and his liberty, otherwise they might send him
to prison and the bonds remain hid until dooms
day. Chief Young returned to New York, leav
ing tho prisoner still in custody at the Ocean
House. On Thursday night ho left New York
again for Boston.
The man Brown, whose real name Is still sup
pressed at the request of the police, is a man so
marked in appeaiance as to excite attention at
once. He is about five feet eleven inches in
lieicht, has dark hair, and sharp, piercinir eyes,
a broad, round, full lace, a very pleasant expres
Hion of countenance, large mouth, has a strong,
sonorous voice, is full chested, weighs about 175
pounds, and is about thirty' years of age. He is
of genteel address, entertaiumg in conversation,
tells a story admirably, and appears perfectly
indifferent as to his fate, having promuluatcil
bis ultimatum, and waiting to hear the result.
He bus been out of Charlestown State Prison
one year. N. Y. World.
WOMAN'S EIGHTS.
The Eleventh National Woman's Blcbts
CuuvoiiUon.
The Eleventh National Woman's Right Con
tention will be held in the city of New York, at
the Church of the Puritans, Union Square, on
Thursday, the loth of May, at 10 o'clock.
Addresses will be delivered by peisons to be
liereafter announced.
TIiobo who tell us the republican idea is a
failure, do not see the deep gulf between our
broad theory and partial legislation; do not see
that our Government tor the last centurv has
been but the repetition of the old experiments of
class aou caste, lieiice Uie laiiurc is not in tbe
principle, but in the lack of virtue on our part
to apply it.
The ouestion now is, have we tho wisdom and
conscience, from the present upheavtugs of our
political system, to reconstruct a Government
on tho enduring basis that has never jet been
tried equal right to air?
From the proposed class legislation in Con
press, it is evident we have not yet learned wis.
dom lrom the experience ol the past; for while
tin representatives at wasnington are discuss
ing the ncht ot sullrago lor tho black man, as
the only protection to life, liberty, and happi
ness, they deny that "necessity, of citizenship"
to woman, by proposing to introduce the word
male" into tne r euerai constitution, in secur
ing suffrage but to ar.otber shade of manhood,
while we disfranchise til teen million tax-payers,
we come not one line nearer the republican
idea. Can the ballot in tbe hand of woman, and
dignity on her brow, more unsex ber than do a
Hceptre and a crown f Shall an American Con
gress pay leb honor to the daughter of a Presi
dent than a untisii parliament to the daughter
or a ft-iugi &uouia not our petitions com
mand as respectful a hearing in a republican
Benate as a speech of Victoria in the House
of Lords? - Do we not claim that here all
men and women are nobles all heirs-apparent
to the throne? The tact that this back
ward legislation has roused so little thought or
protest from the women ot ithe country but
proves what some of our ablest thinkers have
already declared, that the greatest barriur to a
? government of equality ia found in the aris
ocracv of iU women. For-while woman holds
a id.ttl Position ftVoYe waa and Uio work of
lifr, r onrlv imitating tbe pomp, heraldry, and
distinction's of i n dlcte European civilization,
we as a nntion ran never reali.o the divine idea
ol c qualitv that man in his highest moments has
(nuneinted to the world. To build a true re
public, tho church and the home must undergo
the same upheavirg we now see In the State; for
while our cgotibin. selnshnest". luxury, and eae
are baptized in the name ol lliiu whose life waa
sacrifice w hile at the family altar we are taught
to worship wealth, power, and position, ratner
than humanity, it is vain to talk ol a republican
Government. 11 e falrtniits'ot liberty, eqnalitv.
rnd fraternity n, list be blighted In the bud, till
rherished m the heart of woman.
At this hour the nation needs the hiehest
tlionplit nm irif pitation of a true womanhood
Infused into every vein and artery ot in life;
and woman neeos a broader, deeper education,
such as a pure rc'icion and lefty patriotism
alone can plve. lrom the baptism of this second
revolution, should not woman come forth with
new strent'tli una uignity, clothed In all thotte
"lights, privilegts, and immunities" that shall
t"t enable her to luUll her hichest duties to
bunianitv, her counirv, ber family, and herself?

NOTES ON SCIENCE.
l'RonrtTioN or heat ey fuition.
In France much atteution has recently been
bestowed upon the production of heat by
Jrietion, the experiments being the sa:no as
those conducted by our American philosopher,
Count Romford, more than fifty years ago.
Run.lord constructed a h'dlow cylinder of ir.n,
into which he fltti-d a solid plunger, which was
caused to press asuinst the bottom of the cylin
der. The cylinder was placed in a box con
taiiiing water at sixty degrees Fahrenheit, and
was turned by horse-power. Two hours and
thiity minute? ;;l'tci' the ftiction had commenced
the water bi .led. In the present French ex
periment a copper cylinder and pluncer are
used, and the propesitionia made to warui rail
road carriages by the hot water producod by
attaching the plunger to the wheels, and placing
the copper p lobe under the car. It is claimed
that the additional fuel required to get tip the
extra steam, in order to overcome the friction
and produce theut, is not so great as would be
necessary it the cars were warmed in the usual
way.
Nothing is said about petting tho passengers'
teeth on edge by hat nig tuis noise carried on
under their leet.
A clear elucidation of the science of the sub
ject is given in Professor Tyndall's "He.it Con
sidered as a Mode of Motion,'' published by the
Appletons. Experiments in the directiou of pro
ducing heat by iriction are not likely to succeed
as economical inm-tiuents.
NEW EXPLOSIVE COMrOCNDS.
New explosive compounds aro diligently
sought lor, and every nitro-compound is ni'.ido
the subject of experiment, niter sending the first
intrepid explorer to an untimely grave. The
most recent substance is uitro silvcei ine, sonle
t'ueis call' d Nobel's blasting oil.' The French
chemist t.'lievrciil first announced to the Acade
my of Sciences in Paris, in a p'iper dated July 5,
1M3, the discovery of the compound nature ot
the fats. Previous to thai time fat had been re
garded as an unmixed organic substance.
L'hevruel proved :t to be composed ot several
sails called sU.ariii' margarine, and oleine.
'bteuririe, tor CMtir.ple, was shown to be a combination-of
stearic acid and tbe oxide of the sweet
principle of oil called glyecryle; in other words,
steanue is tbe st carafe of the oxide of plvceryle,
or it could be called the stearate of glycerine.
This glycerine, which is at the base of many
fatty bodies, is by some scientific men called an
alcohol, and !t ht;s recently found numerous ap
plications in the arts.
Nitro-glycennc was first prepared by Sombrero
about twenty years ago in tbe laboratory of Po
louse. In Paris. Its enormous explosive force
was discovered at the same time, but the danser
attending its preparation ueterred investigators
lrom Piitenntr tho held of research, until Mr.
Alfred Nobel had the intrepidity to introduce it
on a large scale to tne public as a substitute ior
blasting powder or gun cotton.
Mtro-giycenne is a pale .yellow oily liquid ol
!(! specific Gravity, insoluble in water. It does
not explode by direct flame, and when exploded
by a tuse or concussion leaves no residue, ft
explodes with great rapidity and force, aud tho
discoverer claims that it can bo kept an indefi
nite time without decomposition, A few drops
on an anvil detonates under tbe blow of a ham
mer, but tbe explosion is not communicated be
yond the 'drop which receives the blow, and
repeated blows are required to detonate the
uiolo quantity. It can be heated to 212 degrees
Fahrenheit without ieniting, but explodes at
about 3.')0 degrees Fahrenheit. It is poisonous,
producing violent but usually only temporary
Lead aches.
The lreczinc nolnt is verv nearly the same as
that ot water and some authorities assert that
it solidities at forty degrees Fahrenheit. One
hundred parts of nitro-glvcerine, when burned.
produce 20 parts w ater, 68 parts carbonic acid,
3'6 parts oxygen, 185 nitrogen.
une volume ot tne on produces incomoustion.
6.14 volumes of hydrogen, 4C9 volumes carbonic
acid. 39 volumes oxygen. 236 volumes nitrogen.
One volume thus suddenly expands to nearly one
thousand three hundred times its original space,
firoducmg an irttsistible disruptive force. A9
he expansive force is greater than that ot gun
powder, smaller holes and lewer charges will be
required. The oil is simply poured into the drill
holes, and water-tight salety-fusc attached, and
the hole stopped 'with eand or water. It is often
poured through water into the holes, and as it
does not, like clvcerine, mix with water, being
heavy, it sinks to' the bottom and the water above
serves as a plutr. It tbe blasting oil be frozen it
must be bandied with, care, as an engineer in
Germany found to bis cost when trying to break
up some frozen pieces with bis pick. It could
be frozen in tin cases ol proper size, and intro
duced in the same manner that gun-cotton is.
The question whether nltro-glycerine under
goes spontaneous decomposition or not is.by no
means settled. It is well known that gun
cotton, if not properly washed, and if exposed
even to diffused light, undergoes spontaneous
decomposition, aud as a recent instance of
spontaneous explosion in Greenwich street was
attributed to n'tro -Glycerine, it may be worth
while to be cautious about storing quantities of
the oil in cities until the matter is sufficiently
investigated.
USUS Or QLYCEBINE.
The uses of glycerine are daily extending, and
as it is now a commercial article as easily ob
tained as alcorfol. there is one application which
ought to become popularly known. This is the
property it possesses of dissolving out the
odoriferous principle of flowers. The leuye3 of
roses, of hyacinth, jasmin, geranium, etc., aro
to be put into a stoppered boUle, and glycerine
left in contact with them for three orlour weeks.
All of the perfume will be extracted, and as the
glycerine will mix readily with water, a scented
wash can be prepared tor tho hands, as well as
an extract made for use in the preparation ot
perfumery. If the glycerine be lelt id contact
with red pepper bails, it will extract a prineiolo
very strengtheniuir to the hair and less dan
gerous than the preparation of cantharides now
often used. We could fill n column with an
account of th uses of glycerine which have
sprunf up within ten years, and may recur to
the subject again. ...
MAGNLSIUM.
The metal niapnesium is now extensively
manufactured in this countrv an.l Knmns. . As
we have large quantities ot the native carbonate
in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, we ought to bo
a ble to compete witu tngiana in tnis article,
Various methods are used in its production:
COO parts of chloride magnesium, 100 parts fused
chloride of sodium or better, a mixture ol 7
parts Chloride ol sodium and G parts chloride of
potassium), iuu pariB pure puivenzeu nuorspar
are to be intimately mixed, aud to the mass 100
parts sodium in fragment added, and the mix
ture prolected into a hot crucible and covered.
Alter the first energetic decomposition boa
pacsed, the lused mass must bo stirred. The
maenesium will be gathered in globules, and
can easily be separated from the slag. It is
, aiteiwaid puriceu pj aowawara owvuiftuon.
The metal ran bo drawn Into fine wire, and is
now expensively used as a source of light in
photogiapby. Two ounces of magnesium will
produce a lipht during ten hear equal to that
afforded by 74 stearine candles, of 6 to the pound,
consuming 20 ponnds ol stearine. I
TheBrston MBgnaslum Company pro Idee the
metal in quantities, and some enterprising pho
tographer ought to take pictures cheaply at
night. By moan of the raasncstum light the
drawing-rooms of private hoiifes, with the
family sitting around the table reading, or with
their work, a family group, can readily be taken.
For microscopic t holographs tho magnesium
wire is more available than the sun, Inasmuch
as H is alwayR ready. i
In Plymouth, Ensland, a highly explosive
compound of magnesium has been tried, but the
nature of the substnnce has not been lullv sneer-
tained in consequence of the danger attending
the preparation of it. "
rew persons areawarooi tne interesting dls
overy made by Professor Woehler, of (ettin-
gen, of a hydildeof silicon, which can be pie
pared from an alloy of ningti'-slum and silicon.
By pouring hydrochloric add upon the alloy a
spontaneously combustible gas is given off, and
each bubble of gas forms a ring ol silica, Just as
a ring of smoke Is formed before a cannon, or
whenever phosphorcttcd hydrogen gas explodes
at the surlace. a
An OrEBA-norsK to be Rafflko AwaV. It
will be recollected, says a Chicago correspond
ent, that Mr. Crosby, the gentleman who built
our beautilul Chicago Opera House, tailed shortly
alter its completion, owing more than the entire
establishment cost. Mr. Crosby was always re
parded as an estimable young geutleman, and
much sorrow and sympathy were expressed by
our citizens at the sad termination of "his endea
vor to build up art in this city. This sympathy
is now anout to taice a tangible fflape. The time
for the disposition of the property for the bene
fit of the creditors was fixed at a neriod now
past, but "at the earnest solicitation of a number
of the friends of Mr. Crosby it was postponed
till the 1st ot June, with the promise that some
thing should be done whereby Mr. Crosby might
eseiif e nis embarassments, and save something
trom the wreck.
A meeting of a number of our leading bankers.
merchants, and citizens generally, was held a few
days since, and a schemo was inaugurated which
they nope will etleet tbe object they seek. It is
to put up the Opera House in a lottery scheme,
with a capital of seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, with one hundred aud fifty thou
Rfyid tickets at five dollars each. In addition to
tlie Opera House, two hundred thousand dollars
worth of Colorado mining stock will be added
as prizes to be distributed among the ticket
holders. With all this temptation, the projectors
of the scheme hope it will eventuate in an entire
success, while many calm, clear heads think
i ney see certain lauure. whatever is done for
Mr. Crosby's benefit will have to be done within
the space of Eixty-fiveduys, as his extension only
runs to the 1st of June.
