M A aeries of experiments will be made Ibe coming Auluma to ascertain. If possible, the oausei oftteaoi boiler explosions. So far Ibe nature ol some explosions remains a mystery, Ins pile ol all ,1b reeearobes of experts. The experiments will be conduct d under ibe autboilty of Coogreis, one hundred .thousand dollars having been ap propriated for the purpose and Ibe Presi dent requested to cause tbe necessary In vesications to be made. Either Pittsburgh or Cincinnati will be cbesen as tbe centre of the waiters Held of Inquiry and Sandy Hook for the eastern. The boilers tested will be tiob as are commonly used In tbe reapec tlve sections, and It Is said the Penneyl vanla Ceotral Railroad Company has off.ii ed to preesot those used for tbe weatern ex periments., Two cammhMiooers for each section are to be appointed and tbeae are to make all tbe preparation!, ajter whiob tte moat prominent experts, mecbanloal engin eers, and scientists In Ibe country will be invited to be present and assist in tbe ex minatloos. Tbe result of there expert ments will be looked forward to with great Interest, and It Is to be hoped some more definite information may be obtained as to the explosive properties of steam and tie cehesiv powers ol Iron under sudden aod violent expansive pressure At present there Is great Ignorance among these who ought to know. Do not forget tbe concert to be given by the Meiart Moslcal Society, at the Opera House, this evening. We can assure all who a Used a rare mosleal treat, as itt pro gramme Is composed of a large number or beautiful pieces ol vocal and Instrumental auslc We hope to see a crowded house as tbe Society Is composed entirely of our own cltlieos, who have spent considerable time Inprecttellg for these concerts. For Ibe lull programme see bills of tbe day. P. 8 We learo that Prof. Wilder of Bos ton, an accomplished teacher of music, sr uvea to row tis afternoon in company with Mr. Blake, sTi will lake part la the concert tonight. This will form no exrrs ttraclloo to attend Ibe concert. Tiers Is a new candy firm In town. Doc H lev ley bantered Charley Williams after this fssbloo: That he, Hievley, would purchase and pay for two pounds of candy provided Williams would distribute the aaid candy lo every child be met tbs length ol the street, Doc. to accompany him aod see that tbe programme was carried out. Char ley allowed Ibat be never was and would ol be bantered. Accordingly the purebsse was made and tbe new firm started out to fulfill the agreement. And then there was rejoleiog among tbe little folks, and tbe praises ol Hievley and Williams resounded on every side. Charley won the banter and hereafter will be looked opoa as tbe 'Cbll dreo's Friend." We are not advised as to bow long tb aew film will continue In operation. Modem Lo "tbe poor Indian of untu tored mind" la an unmitigated liar But in Uihle times li seems it was not so, for in Si. Jobo li!,23, we read: "Lo, speakest thou "plnluly, aod speekeet no proverb." It la the general opinion tbat tbe ptsti ferous potato bug succumbed to laat winter' frigidity. Ooe of Ibe parties to the murderous duel at Rtobmond fa dead. Mr. Mordecal, one of tbe two, loast In fault, has died of bis wounds. Tbe other party, Mr McCsrty, I, badly wounded, but will probably live to commit muraer again. Mr. Mordecal was a young lawyer of promise and connected with one of "tbe Brat families of Virginia.' At the Inqueet held, the seconds were sum nooed as witnesses, but refused to disclose any Ibiog, and so It is probable Ibat all par ties escaped, though Ibe law ol Virginia makes tbe killing In a duel murder. It Is very significant fact, and a very sad ooe aa showing tbe elate of publlo oploion upon tbe crime of dueling, Ibat at tbe meeting of the members of tbe Bar al which resilu tions of respect lor tbe deoeased were past ed, and alae resolutions of condoleoce for tbe-relatives, not a syllable of condemna tion was uttered against Ibe barbarism by wblob Mordecal met bis death. We would call the attention ol our read, ra to Ibe new advertisement of R. A. Lo eler, proprietor of Ibe new confectionery store aod Ice cream saloon, twn doors above Sobel t Auerbaim's dry goods store. He has tbe largest and finest stock of con ft o tlonery In this place which be Is selling at remarkably low rates.

Mrs. Carman and Miss Henderson will sing several new pieces at tbe Concert tbls evening. Tbe new well of Irwin, Egbert & Woods, on Ibe Pierce farm, Is now testing with a good abow. Some tradesmeu think it would be a good plao for tbem to seud lo their little bills on postal caids lo customers who are dilatory In coming down with the oaab. Sucb a game ol cards as Ibat would cause some people to cut, others to souffle, aod would not be popular by a good deal. Somebody advertises In Ibe BloomBeld, Illinois, Peotagrapb for tbe whereabouts of a missing man "of weak intellect. " A motion for tbe establishment of recipro. tal trade with tbe Sandwich Ialands bas been made in the Canadian Patliament, in ibe hope tbat by some sucb legislation tbe growing commerce of tbe Uoited Stales In Ibat quarter may be subverted. Tbe average value of tbe products of maoufaoturee per bead of Ibe population by tbe census of 1870 was, In New York, $179; In Peneylveoie, $202; in Connecticut 300; in Massachusetts, $380: Rhode Island, $613. Captain Hall leaves a wile and two chil dren, who have been living In Cincinnati. Tbe wile was en tbe ears, en route for New Hampshire, lo Visit her mother, who is dangerously ill, when informed of her bus band's death. Tbe son Is a boy at school. Tbe daughter, about sixteen years of age, was overwhelmed with sorrow . The Connecticut House bas already be fore It a resolution condemning tbe sslary grab. Tbe people of tbe Uoited States are farther aloog than this. Tbey have con sidered a similar resolution aod passed It with a most unparalleled unanimity. Tbe completion aod occupation of the first building io tbe burnt district was cele brated lu Boston last week, tbe building be ing a plain substantial brick edifice, four stories io baigbt. We bear a rumor lo ibe effect that within a abort time several trains on the Oil Creek Railroad are to have no stopping points between Oil City and Tilusvi lie. We givo the rumor for what It is worth, but presume it lo be uotrue. ft would be a very foolish move to any tbe least. Tbe tieta are beginning to dou a coat Of greeu. Tbe first abad caught io tbe Sacramento rloer bas been preserved in alcohol by tbe California Academy of Science. Less Desamlaadoa (the shirtless), the nsw Red Republican org-n lo Madrid, clothes Itself wilh curses as wlih a garment Chicago bas concluded lo raft ber timber across Lake Michigan. A I that Is wanting Is plenty of logs andsteam power, and re lisble weather reports. . At a meeting o f women in Rochester to take notion and counsel upon their oppress ed sex, Miss Susan B. Anthony advised wo men wbo are properly holders to refuse to pay taxes on til tbey lie allowed represeo latioo.

The women was a latgi properly holder.bul though called on repealed ly by tbe tax col lector, sbe bsd not paid a dollar Kr taxes, and sbe had not been troubled by tbe auth orities. Tbe papermanufaciu:i3 1 luu South are making a very good article from Ibe leaves of palmetto. A Mloblgan clergymin bas added new attraction to bis services by attacking theaters and circuses, and allowing Ibe rep resentatives of those institutions wbo bap pea to be in bis audience an opportunity of replying. Tbe charitable people of Uolyoke, Mass , who have supported si old Irishman all winter, have lost much of their faith in human nature since learn io it that be bas paid $0,000 cosb for a house and lot. Already before the tries are in leaf, gof sip runs upon tbe summer resort?. As usual, Newport Is to be "top tide." Tbilber will resort tbe wealthiest sol respectables!, the diplomatic crops, tbe operatio star now lo perigree, aod great nunbers of prolees'onal and literary people. Tbe first experiment in illustrated daily journalism would seem to have turned out surprisingly well. The New York Graphic asserts tbat lis olrvulilion Is now large. than that ol any evening newspaper in the Uoiled States and mort than double tbe combined circulation of any two evening papers prioted in Now fork olty. Westward tbe star of suicide takes its way. New York has hitherto done the heaviest business, but Chicago, Citicinnatti, St, Louis aod Clevelaol now compete wilh ber. , The eleventh commiudment, delivered expressly to Congressmin who have aspir ation, '-Thou shall notirab!" Glycerine bas been suggested us a detn- oruslant for steam bolltrs, and it bus J the property ol attacking lie residue of lime precipitated by tbe eftposiona of tbe free ctrbonic acid io boiling, aod redissolving It. Michigan Is going to teat ilscoovh t with Consideration. HereaDrr tbey are treed from tbe humiliation ol wearing stripped garments, and can correspond with their friends. Tbe Stale also provides for their education, and gives estb one, when dis charged, a suit ofololhss, ten dollars I, cash and such money sine may have earned by over work. Tbe cotton eeiimateait Ibe Snutb range between 3,750,000 baleiaud 3,850,000 bales while at tbe North tbeyvary between 3, 800,000 bales aod , 000,100 bales. We al ways look to tbe Sou lb br tbe lowest esti mate, and to the North br tbe highest; and probably tbe truth may prove lobe tome where between tbese exiremes. Bsiton bat seventeen public batbs Ibis year, and tbey will reoiin open from the 1st ol June until tbe end of September. Tbe cost last year was $40,565 Five o tbe bouses are for girls aid women. Pitts burgh bas none. Tbe Modoca are like lie Irishman's flea; you put your nnger on item, and tbey are not there. Tbe troops tirrounded tbe plsce where tbe Modocs bad liken up their qu.nr tors and tbe Modocs tre several miles away. A petition Is being circulated io New York for tbe recall or lie British Consul General Archibald, from tbat port. It is claimed tbat his luterfeimce in matters not strictly within tbe lioe of bis duly bas oaused embarrassment to the shipping later est. Eight new Iron furasn are building on tbe lino of the Selma, tome aod Dalton Railroad.

Obltoar of a VTeetern Editor Ye editor sst in his rickety cbsir, al wor ried as worried could be, for ye devil was grinning before him there, and "copy 1" ye devil ssyed he. Oh, ye editor grabbed, his big quill pen, aod it sputtered ye Inks freer, tbat his manuscript looked like a war map, when, "Take this," Jp the devil spake he. He scribbled aod scratched through tbs llvr-loog day, no rest or refreshment bsd be; for tbe devil kept conttsntly coming that wsy, aod bowling for more "cop-ee " . Day alter day be scissored and wrote, a saying tbe whole countree; while ye devil kepi piping bis single note, "A little more ooUide cop-eel" Aod when ye boys lo ye newe-room bea the souod of unequal fray, tbe voice of blow and a blasphemous word, 'He's raisin tbe dsvill' say tbey. . And oft when a man with grievance came io, ye editor mao'to see, he'd tuio bis back with a word ol sin "Go talk toy devil," said be. Aod ever and oft, when a 'proof of bis work ye proprietor wanted to see, "Ye proof shall be shown by my personal clerk; and must go to ye devil,' said be. And thus he was destined through all of bis lire, by tbfs spirit tormented to be; ! el hunger aod poverty, sorrow and strife, al ways close lo ye devil wat he. Ye editor died. ''But ya devil lived on 1 Aod tbe force ol life's habits we see, for ye editor's breath no sooner was gone, than straight to ye devil went be. Tbe experiment recently made In Ohio of placing women at tbe.head ol all the sohools below Ibe high tchools is pronounced a de cided succees. Tbe instruction aod disci pline have been as good as formerly, there have been fewer difficulties between teachers and, fewer complaints , have been made by parents against teachers. Buffalo Tentous have called an indigna tion meeting because German is not (to be taught In tbe publio schools. Trie demagogue wuo heads the strike ol tbe Rhode Island operatives, now threatens a run on tbe savings banks II their demands are not complied witb. This reveals Ibe obamcler of Ibe man, and If be attempts to have bis threat carried out tbe sensible portion or bis follow- n will abandon him JJ Our war melodies, especially the later o tee, which responed to tbe popular mood with the most fidelity, are being taken up by Ibe English lower classes. Tbe farm la borers unions sre msklog campaign songs out of them. "Wbtio Jobony comes march ing home again," and "Tramp, tramp, tramp, etc , are particular fovorites. : It is fid in Illustration of the great vol. ocliy of the winds lo Wyoming Territory, thai a gentleman in Cheyenne, losing bis hat in tbe street, rushed lo the telegraph office and telegraphed to Denver, Col., re questing ibat bis bat might be stopped there, but was immediately informed Ibat It bad gone bv. traveling southward.
