Tuosc who have never seen the much talked of dyuamtle explosivo will be in terested to know that it looks very much like moist brown sugar. Kitro-glycotine which is formed by the action of nitric acid upon glycerine, at a low tempera ture, is tho active agent in dynamite.bni is mixed with some absorbent substance to render it safir t buudl than the Vqnid glycirine. Tho absorbent mater ial thus used is a Bilicious earth a But white powder oomposed of the remains or infusoria, and resembling powdered chalk; this takes up two or three tituss its weight of theuitro-glycerlne, withont becomiug pjsty. onrt the ingredients are easily mixed, leaden vessiU and wooden -spoons, being used to avoid dangerous friction. When flime is applied to this mass it bums with a strong flame, with out any explosion; but when ignited by a detonating fitse, or even by a sudden blow, its explosive force is tremendous.

'83 A short tinin ago at the Instance of tbe Department r Justice, Mr. S'lllwell II. Unsnell, n United Stalls Marshal for tho Western DUttict of Texas, was arrested in tlili city and takeu to San Antouin, Texas, whero he was indicted for tho of fence of charging tho government lor rollcogofor himself and n deputy from San Antonio to New York ou account of expenses inclined in conveying United States prisoners to the penitentiary. The Indictment was fotiud upon the grouud that he charged mltcago when as a matter of fact ho and bis depnly traveled on passes, lie was tried and convicted Bnd Is now in tbo Juliet penitentiary. Thns much in order to call attention to tho fact that a careful Humiliation of Ex. Dos. No. 40, first session of the Forty eighth Congress, will show that Mr. Gcorgo Bliss, a spccialjarsistnut United States attorney in the late Star Routs cases, and Mr. W. W, Ker, another spec ial assistant in the same cases, traveled from here to Philadelphia, New York, and other places, nnd charged ud to the government the expenses of said trips, railroad fare and other expenses, includ ing hack hire and hotel bills. It is r 1 leged, nnd it is susceptible- of proof, that both of theso men traveled ou passes. II Mr. Springer will but open his doors, he will not ouly lo able to prjve the above, but many other equally disreputable transactions. ThoUuitod States Senato Wednesday enjoyed a debate upon a subject which is probably as interesting to the average Congressman as any lo which tho legis lative mind conld be directed, that of liquid refreshments for tho careworn rernsentalivM of tho Nation. A joint rule prohibiting the sale of spirituous or malt liquors in Capitol hnildiugs oalled forth an amendment from the Genial Senator from Delaware, Mr. Ilayard.whn expressed himsslf an entirely in favor of excluding spirituous liquor, hut pro posed to allow tuo mla of liquors "with a view to temperance nud good health," and powibly in tb interests ot hightr statesmanship, Mr. Pryo, of Maine, had no sympathy with this logic, and referred to tho violation of the tem perance rule at former sessions when members wero accustomed to evade tbe prohibition by drinking their liqrtors out of teacup?, a good deal after the fashion of Mr. Gamp. Tho vivid picture did not seem to shock IboSeuato us it should have done, hut in tho interest of appear ances it was agreed to prohibit tbo sale of "intoxicating" liqnora in the Capitol without specifying thoir particular. To tbe ordinary visitor to tho Capitol who imbibes tbe non-iutoxicaling liquors sold there this new rule may have its per plexities, beuator J?ryo asserts that at previous sessions ha 1ms Eeeu gravo aud reverend bonators drinking out of tea cups non-intoxicating liquids that seem ed to produce n, strange t-xbilaration.and it may bo that bimilar sinful dovicos will be employed during the present session. Tho discussion of the Mormon ques I l-.it nlrn 1ir lm -t - J w wf,m bas'a of tho discussion being the bill in troduced by Senator Cullom of Illinois. The utter colhipso and fuilure of all the reforms proposed under the Edmuuds act invites prompt Conrcssional action. Mr. Cullom's bill provides lor the abol ition of tbo present Territorial govern ment of Utah, and the substitution iu its plaoa of a Governor nnd a Council ol Nine, to bo appoiuted by tho President and coufirmed by the Senate. Pork and the restrictions placed upon its importation into Frauce and Germany was tho principal topio discussed by the Senate to-day, Mr. Vest, of Missouri, leading off with a petition signed by a number of St. Louis merchaLt? asking Congressional action on tho tubject Thero was not much evidence of a retali atory policy against wiuoaid beer as had been suggested, but it was thought Uiat a mors oonservative courso should b pursued. Several Senators presented similar resolutions to ttat of Missouri's Ileprescntalivr, end took advantage of tbo ouj nrlunity to submit their views on tho question. Tho Republicans of the Senate have again nominated and elected Mr, Ed munds President pun teu of that body notwithstanding tliut his resignation was accepted iu tho early part of tho prcseut session. The intention was to plica Mr, Authony in tho chair, but his heath has compelled bim to decllue the hon,-r beuco the decision to again thrust it up ou Mr.Edmuuds. The latter i,of comse, an able presiding officer, but I doubt whether he would not greatly prefer his old place on the floor, u hero ho alwoys led in tbe debates and made things uu comfortable for his opponents by his sharp and incisivt- remarks. As a pre siding officer, Judge Dayis, of Illinois, who retired last spring, was not exactly it model, but his "go as you pleaso' style was, on tho w! tic, ratLerpopub.r, specially his determination to adje-uru tho season to permit bim to Bit down to bis diuuir at six oMock. Several long sessions of tho Senate, carried ten min utes, fifteen miiiule?, or a half hour past six, nnuoyed liiiu grievously. As the bauds of tuo clock ntared the hour for his dinner he could not conceal his anxiety to get away. Senator Edmunds has n yeiu of humor, and on such occas ions did not scruple to parry the chair mau. Ono day wben a bill, which bad been for weeks under consideration, was about to come to a vote, and six o'clock was near, the V.rniout Seiutor, purely in a spirit of mischief, suggested the propriety of having the bill read.asmaoy changes had been made in it which re quired scrutiny. Mr, Davis was dread fully provoked. Tossing his head cu one side, and casting a piteous, appeal iug glanoj nt the clock and then at Mr. Edmuuds, he protested, with nil the earnestness possible, in a voice that came direct from a yearning stomoch, Oh, bat it's a very voluminous bill, aud it will take tbe clerk a long time to read it.'' Tho beseeching vaice touched Mr. Edmunds; he relented, tbe bill was passed, and Mr. Davis trotted off in tern perato haste to tbe Nations! Hotel to get his dinner, half an honr later.

Outsido, of tho brilliant sosne In tbe dining room and saloon par lorn, where nn orchestra enlivens tb spirits, there is tho vast throng of habi tues to whom an evening's study may be devoted. Hero a man who wants some thing corners a Congressman, nnd there a journalist in search of news buttonholes another. There aro perhaps twenty cor respondents Iu and nbout tho house at ono tlmo carrjlug ou the Interviewing process, aud tho men who aro nfter places or want to forward something come In droves.

Tho whisky men aro pushing things hard to get through their bill to save them the payment of thoso millions in taxes soon to full due on whisky in bond.

Mr. Springer's committee is getting at some unpleasant facts abent tho affairs of United Slutoi Marshals, and tue conclusion irom wnat nas been so far elicited is that tho Altoruoy-Genorars office has not kept a very good system of accounts or held its subordinates to a very rigid accountability.

Very few people knew tbe msTonx op TnE texai pAanc gbakx. or which there has lately been so much il l and written. Away back in '70 tho Texas Pacifio Company secured grant, which bad they built tbe rood would have secured to them nearly 14, liOU.OUU acres of land. Hut they aban doned tho work after petitioning aid in vain from Congress, their chief argument ueloro the Congressional Committee be ing mat thero ought to be n southern route to ccinpete with the Union and Central Pacific. O. P. Huntington, tbe presideut cf the Southern Pacific opposed any am lieing given, assuriug tbe com ouieerncn that his was n competing road, nnd that it Would be built withont subsidy. He engendered an nnti-subsidy sentiment in the South in order to make it difficult for t'io Southern members to vote for the Texas Pacifio subsidy. He insisted that tho Texas Pncifio grant bad already hpsed. and acting upon that basis ho pushed forwarJ tho Southern raciue, aim built it on wbai Uu consid ered the abandoned grant of the former. If the Texas Pacifio vias reallvtben alive. ho must hayj b'ecn trespassing ou other grants. The dura ho set up tbat the Southern Pacifio was a conipetiug line lo tuo (.entral Pacific was a gross fraud.but it sufficed to influence the votes of mem bers against tbeTexis Pacific subsidy. aud tbo latter Company weut dow n while tuo boulhern Pacifio pushed on over its ruins. COLONEL TCM SCOTT was then nt the head of tho Texas Pacific. and he made n hiroio effort to construct the road on its wt rits nrier the Govern ment had refused aid, but after several years sustained opsratious his health gave way and he sold out to Jay Gould. It was then predicted the road would be pushed to rapid completion, but the en terprising Gould had ouly an eye to peculation, nud ho iu turn sold to Mr. Huntiuglcn, for whatever profit be could juike, the land grant to which he had uo more title than Satan had to the real es- tuteonce oflered by him from tbo top of u uigu mouuiaiu, NOW COMES ntrXTIxoTON who slaughtered the Texa Pacific, and hho. as long aco as 1S7C, scouted the Jda that it Lad any rights, and insists that its forfeited estates are his, and that the Government cannot claim its own. He holds Jay Gould's order on tbe Gov eminent for tbe 14,000.000 acres, but the astute i Huntington begins to see that Uoo d s order for laud is not as good as Gonlds check for money. a scsiMinv or land omnu. -1 h. re are some queer things about lbs following list of (and grant, the order being-just as the Ilonie-Oommittee on Publio Lands intend to consider the various forfeitures.

Tho eight grants already considered are all in southern States. Of tbo tonrteen jet to be con sidered, seven are in tho south, five en tirely or partly in California and Oregon im.l two in tt.o North.

During tho other evening at tbe house of a well known essayist and literary critlo, I asked ono of the guests whether he had heard who tbe author of "Bread winners' the uoyel now lunulng iu the Centcet was. This novel is published anonymously, and tho conductors are endeavoring to involve tbe authorship of it in a gteat deal of mystery, and at the same time attempting to make It an- near as if there was a tremendous amount ) ' of curiosity to learn tbe name of tbe author. "Don't yon believe a word of it," said the gentleman addressed. "The 'Breadwinners' is a fair ordinary uov.I, being nothing of a startling nature, aud all this mystery is nothing but a trick of trade to arouse Interest. Publishers now and then resort, to tUll aacUnt method to nttrsctttentlonfbatin,UlUtrcart,ioat' oi ten It fails.

As regards th) authorship of tbe "Breadwinners," I think it can bo sottlcd on John Hay. He denies the soft impeachment, but tho bulk of the evidence favcrs his guilt." At Wallack'sTheotre a simjlar practice Is now -Indulged iuj with tho tiew play "Deception" Mr. Walhirk and every body' about'lho theatre claims that tho nulhooitis nbsolutelynnkuown; that tin manuscript v.n handed in some fio or six'yenrs 'ago; that tho author ncvir returned to Inquire nbout tho fate of his work, and tbat.the play was nccidontnlly nniarthed from n mass of forgotten maurscripts. This sounds romantic eu,piigb, but everybody who knows any thing about tbo poor business constant ly done nt Wallack's Theatre knows that this anonymousuess is nothing but n de vice to arouse attention. It must be ei id that the clay is a good idea. There oio soma novel ideas nnd situations in it, and tbo dialogue is crisp nud never lx coaus a bore. It is well cjst nud the churning Hose Coghlau is once more in her- element. It is to bo hoped that "Deception" will bring somj money to tho' cullers of the theatre.

A rather curions idea is given ono ot the number of peoplo who write by n io cunt priao competition. Some months ngoWiliiam Swiutou, tho publisher oi "Swintou'a Story Toller," oft-red a prize of $500 lor tho best short story for his publication; entries to closo on Janunrj 12lh.

In nuswer to the prospectus, I am informed, exact ly 1000 inannsoripts were sent iu. Among the contributors were many so ciety people, persons of wealth, nud nearly every author and nuthoroKs ol note. Somo of tho people sent intwo stories. One well known nnthoms. wh)se rams figures lrcqncutly in the magazines, nnd who is n rich woman I am not at liberty to mention her name sent in three. Out of this enormous number of stories, the readers seltctid five as being worth serions consideration . They were again cartfnlly read and the choice now lies between two. Oddly onongh, tho five favorites were the work of new men --men whoso names have never appeared in priut as nuthurs. Ot the two best fancied ones, I think the ono selected for publication wilt no the work of a olerk in n down town mtrcan tile house, who for some years has been ludnlging in scribbling" ns a paf time.
