Mtplosion at the Washington Arsenal.
WASHINGTON, March 30 h.— Yesterday
afternoon there 'was ranother explosion at
the 'Washington arsenal. A shell burst
While two men were unloading it. One
of them may ?lose-several of his fingers by
amputation.
The other workman sustained only a slight
^wound in the head.
'Since the explosion at the Arsenal, seve
ral months since '
, by which ten persons were
killed, this work has been carried on in
sheds, widely separated, so that an
-'explosion in one, cannot communicate
to the otherson the grounds. A great deal
-of this kind of war material has
recently been brought to the arsenal.

NAW YORK, March -ad.—The steamship
Washington has arrived from Havre. Her

A NEW HORSE-SHOE. --A Paris black
smith has invented a new system of shoeing,
horses. Instead of the shoe being placed on
the hoof and burning its own resting place,
the outside of the hoof is cut away around •
the foot to the depth of half an inch; this•
leaves a ledge, into which the shoe fits, and
is then flush with the frog, which just
touches the ground, instead of being raised,
as of old, by the shoe. The advantages of
this are that the foot is little pared, and that
instead of a heavy shoe the animal is shod
in what are little more than racing plates,
The advantages claimed by the inventor
are, that the horse never slips, that the shoe
allows the foot to expand naturally, and
that it lasts as long and is as cheap as the
old plan.
A THIEF'S LErrza.—A thief was re
cently tried in London, upon whose person
was found the following letter:
"Dear Old Pal—l write these few lines
hoping they will find you in prosperity, as
it leaves me very seedy indeed. There is
nothing doing this weather, for it is so cold
that all the gents button up their coats so
close that there is no getting at their pockets;
and as to the ladies, though they never
carry much money, there's no getting at
their pockets any how. Lam going to have
a smash at some jeweler's window, and if I
am lucky it will be all right, if not, it will
be all wrong. There's one thing I forgot; I
sacked a goodish many fowls and a goose or
two at Christmas. So no more at present
from _your old pal. JORHITA WHITE."
Tti.e. first number of the Chinese news
paper published in London by Professor
bummers, under the title of the Plying
Dragon, contains some general remarks
upon the advantages to be derived from
newspapers, a summary of European news,
including Lord Palmerston's death, the loss
of the London, the death of King Leopold,
-and the close of the civil war in America;
next a dissertation upon railways, their
:usefulness, economy, and other advantages;
and lastly, some information which it must
have iouzzled the worthy professor to put
into Chinese, viz., advertisements of Eng
lish products and businesses, patent cart
midges, steam plouglut, matches, Colt's re
volvers, etc. The second number contains
acnap of Europe.
WHOLPRALE SLAUGHTER.—At a recent
bunt in the north of England, 4;611 phea-
Hants and 5,000 hares and rabbits were
slaughtered. It is estimated that the num
ber killed were about one-third the number
reared, so that in the preserve there must
have been 14,000 pheasants and 15,000 hares
and rabbits. To grow grain for the support
of the birds would require the cultivation of
246 acres, and for the hares and rabbits,
1,100 acres.
COST OF THE MTIVICAN EXPEDITION.-
A French official return shows that the
Mexican expeditiorrhas cost France, up to
the 31st of December, 1865, no less a sum
that ..R27,000,000 sterling. The losses in the
French forces, land and sea, have been
11,414 men, namely: Killed, 3,319; died
from wounds or effects of climate etc.,
tu
4,928; disabled for life, 3,167; granotal,
11,414.
Dacron J. A. REED, of Baltimore, denies
the whole theory of trichina. He says,: PI
boldly assert that the trichina never did and
never will destroy human life; that they
have in all probabilltyexisted in the human
flesh always, certainly for the last half cen
tury; and I think it a fair deduction, taking
it, for the sake of aTgument, as granted,
that we may receive them through the in
strumentality of the hog, that they are not
more dangerous to life on that account."
No LIGHT.—The London papers com
plain that there is not a properly lighted
street in that city.

POST ROADS IN. PHILADELPHIA
The Sunday Qnestion.
EtAunts:au - nu, March 30th, 1866. It is
understood that the Postmaster General has
declared - the "Union City Passenger Railway
of'Philadelphia to be a post road, and that
the cars will accordingly be privileged to
run thereon every day of the week, includ
ing Sunday. This renders all legislation . at-
Harrisburg on the subject entirely un
necessary.
ILumassuitia, March 30.
SENATE.—The resignation of Senator
Heister Clymer, of,Berks, was received.
Mr. Ridgeway read a bill incorporating
the Fairmount Gold and Silver Mining
Company.

the Home for Little Wanderers. Passed.
Mr. Marks called up the act preventing
bone-boiling in the Twenty-fourth Ward,
Philadelphia. Passed.
The bill submitting the question of run
ning Sunday cars to the people, at
the next election, came up. In order
to avoid a lengthy debate, Mr. Quay
of Beaver, called the previous question,
which prevented all remarks. The first
question was on the amendment of Mr. Rud
oiman, as follows: "Provided that it shall
be a condition precedent to said vote that
said passenger railway companies shall.
carry passengers at rates not exceeding five
cents, and without any distinction on ac
count of race or color. This amendment
was agreed to byes voteof 45 ayes to 39 noes.
The Philadelphians voting aye were Davis, Freeborn, Ruddiman,
Sabers, Thomas and Wallace.
Those voting no were De Haven, Don
nelly, Gheghan, Hand, Josephs, Lee,.
Marks, Quigley and Steiner. Absent Kerns
and Watt.
The question then recurred upon the fol
lowing substitute for the original bill, the
substitute being offered by Mr. Myers, of
Northampton, as follows : "That theseveral
passenger railway companies of Philadel
phia are hereby authorized to run cars on
Sunday, provided that this act shall go into
effect when a majority of the lawful voters
or electors of Philadelphia shall, at the next
general election jto be held in October, by
ballott, determine for Sunday cars.
'This substitute was defeated by viva voce
vote, the ayes and noes not being called.
When the substitute was defeated, the
amendment of Mr. Rnddiman, in regard to
five cents fare and colored_ people, being
part of the substitute, was also defeated, and
the question then recurred simply upon the
original bill, as follows:
Be it enacted that at the general election
to be held in October, 1866, the voters of the
City of Philadelphia shall vote for or against
the passage of a law to authorize the several.
Railway' Companies in said city to run their
cars on Sunday. The ballots shall respect
ively contain the words "ForSuaday cars,"
or "Against Sunday cars," and on the out
side have the word, "Sunday Travel."
Such citizens as are qualified. voters,
agreeably to ;the existing 'laws alone, shall.:
vote, and the election officers shall receive,
such ballots, count up the votes and make
such returns as they are by law required in
reference to elections, and the returns made .
by them shall be deposited in the officit
the Prothonotory of the Court of Common
Pleas.
This original bill was' defeated by a vote
of 37 ayes to 49 noes. The Philadelphia
members voting ayes were Messrs. Adair,
Davis, De Haven, Donnelly, Freeborn,
Ghegan, Marks, Hand, Josephs, Lee, Quig
ley, Steiner, Sabers, Thomas and Watt.
The noes were Messrs. Ruddiman and Wal
lace. Absent, Mr. Kerns.
An act to incorporate the. Erie City Pas
senger Railroad being considered, Mr...
McCleary offered an amendment forbidding
the company to make any distinction on ac
count of color. This amendment was agreed
to—ayes 49, noes 26. The Philadelphia
members voting aye were Messrs. Davis,
DeHaven, Freeborn, Lee, Marks, Raddi
man, Thomas, Wallace, Watt. Those vot
ing :no were Donnelly, (absent), Adidr,
Ghegban, Hood, Josephs, Kerns, Quigley,,
Steiner, Sabers. The bill then passed.
