Colliery Explosions in England.
The London Times, noticing the lose of
fifty-eight lives by the latest coal-mine
explosion in England, remarks: -
"The public ought to be inexpressibly
shocked by the frequent occurre t Co of
these fatal catastrophes. To omit minor
accidents, in April last we reported the
deaths of thirty-three men by an,. explo
sion. iL May, out of len men at work
in a coal mine In South Wales. seVEd
*were killed, and it was mere chance that
the number at work was not three hun.
dred or four hundred, with the deaths in
proportion. June brought an explosion
in the Ferndale Colliery at the cost of
fifty three lives, and in July we have this
fatal explosion at Haydock. Coals have
become the first necessity of life, and it
would seem as if colliers were our advance
guard Li the war with nature, and were
perpetually nude- fire.- The parallel may
extend, for the fatality of these explo
-810/18, it should be remembered, represents
only the lives lost in action; the number
• sacrificed to minor accidents may, per.
taps, like the loss of life due to sickness
in war, be still larger.
. -- 'l3traege to say, in this very colliery at
Baydock twenty-six lives were sacrificed
only last . December to an explosion
*which seems similar in every respect to
the present. The two were in the same
pit and in the same seam of coal, and in
, the last report of the Inspectors of Mines
we have a plan of the colliery and a dis
cussion of , the former accident. From
this there seems every reason to believe
that the disaster was then due to causes
which were completely within control—
in fact, to the carelessness of men who
paid for their neglect with their lives.
The general nature of these catastrophes
is sufficiently well known. The gas with
which all coal is more or less pervaded
escapes as the workings progress, and,
unless disperied by'ventilation, stradlially.
accumulaes. When a certain amount of
Rhos collected, , a slight accident, or one
of those blastings which are common in
cidents of mining, will be sufficient to
explode it. It is evident that in order to
avoid this danger every _ part of a mine
ought•to be constantly watched, in order
to be sure that the ventilation is perfect."
The Latest French Revolution.
The change in Franco from a personal
to a constitutional and liberal govern
ment involves more than has ordinarily
beeti secured, through a violent revolu

he would propose a body of reform meas -
urea more comprehensive than even those
which were demanded, has been redeemed

turn. Laws may, by the new proposals;
be initiated both by the Emperor and the
- Legislative body. Members of the Cab
* inet may be members of the Legislature.
Both the Senate and the Corps Legislatif
are at liberty to regulate the manner and
effect of their own proceedings, and the
sessions of the former are to be public.
The Government may be addressed by
both branches,'and other points of equal
liberality evince the length of the stride
taken by-the Emperor in the direction of
strictly constitutional government. It
is a result to excite the world's wonder,
as striking as the opening of the war upon
Prussia, or the suddenness of the peace at
Villafranca. It is a new nation over
which Napoleon will thus preside, and this
, voluntary abdication of , power is almost
as great a marvel a 8 that of. Charles the
Fifth when he relinquished everything;
only the latter gave way to his successor,
wane Napoleon yields-strictly to the peo
-ple, or else he pretends so well that the
pretence answers as well as the utmost
sincerity:—Boston Post.
New Me:leo.
It is asserted that the hostility of the
Indians has for many months - seriously_
interfered with 'the prosperity of New,
Mexico, and that neither the soldiers nor
the Friends have as yet come to the re
lief of the people. The richest gold and
silver mines, supplied at great expense
with machinery, have been abandoned,
thousands of miners, it is asserted, have
been throws out of employment, and the
machinery left to be burned and des.
troyed. In addition to this, no "pros
pecting" can be carried on, and no new
mines can be opened. Parties who ven
ture over five miles away from a fort or
large town are captured by the Indians,
who, besides kidnapping and killing the
people, steal sheep, mules, cattle, horses
and all the live stock they can manage to
approach. As a consequence of this state
of affairs, the miners are leaving the
Territory, business is destroyed, and
merchants are failing from having lost
their customers, and not being able to
sell their goods.

Mr Frederic Barnett, of Paris, has in
vented and patented a very' novel, yet
simple apparatus for swimmers. The in
vention consists in supplying to man by
art the apparatus which has been given
to the frog by nature. For the hands he
has a large membranous fin which is held
to its place by loops passing over the
fingers and a strap around the wrist. The
surface presented to the water by , these
fins is so large as to add greatly to the ef
fectiveness of the strokes of the arms, but
not so large as to exhaust the muscular
power. Their'effect is to vet; much rc
duet the effort required to'owira without
them. But the greatest ingenuity, is dis
played in the form and fitness of the fins
for the legs, which are a Cached to the
ankles, and are so formed that they act
upon the water, both in th movement of
bringing the legs together and throwing
them back. They act so rnely in tread-
ing water, as swimmers cal it, that one
can really walk, if, not on the water, at
least in it. The differ •ce • between
swimming with this appara us and with-
out it, is very much like t, ea difference
between rowing a boat w th a handle,
and the blade of an oar.

en toothpicks upon the counter of the
cashier, for the use of customers. These
toothpicks are a good feature of the pres
ent day. Tt.e wooden toothpicks have
to a considerable extent superseded the
gold, horn, ivory and other articles of the
kind formerly in use. Their manufac
ture is carried on by but one establish
ment. which has been in operation four
years. It is near Boston, and employs
thirty hands of both sexes. The ma
chinery has-been patented, and is pro
pelled by water power. The woods used
are maple and willow. The agency is
solely in Boston, and all purchases
for use elsewhere must be made
there. The toothpicks are packed in paste.
board boxes of two sizes. One box is thri3e
inches long, by two wide and one deep.
It contains three hundred, and sells for
six.cents. The other encloses twenty-five
hundred, and is five inches long, three
wide and three deep. The boxes are
packed in wooden. cases for shipment, or
retailed in the city singly by the carriers.
The sales are quite large, and amount at
times to forty and fifty cases a day, each
containing one hundred thousand tooth
picks. The aggregate number sold, there
fore, amounts in that period to four or
five millions.
Tan Drinking Fountain and Cattle..
Trough Association of London recently
held its tenth annual meeting in that citp.
The, report of the Secretary stated that
the income of the association for the past
year had been sufficient to maintain the
existing fountains and troughs in an effi
cient condition and to build nine new
fountains and thirty new troughs: The
revenue for the past year from donations
and subscriptions amounted to $16,440.
The magnitude of the demand for water
for the use of the animals in the streets
of London is stated to be almost incon
ceivable. At" one trough 1,200 horses
alone, besides oxen, sheep and dogs, fre
quently drank is one day. The managers
therefore decided to erect fountains that
would enable all corners to quench their
thirst without delay. The association has
123 fountains, and 125 troughs under its
charge. This benevolent object has at
tracted great attention among the wealthy,
and donations have been received from
the following persona: The Qaeen, $500;
Lady Bentinck, $1;500; and trom a friend
known only as "A Water Baby," $2,500.
'A' magnificent fountain has already been
completed in Hyde Park. at the expense
of the Maharajah of Vezianagram, and a
gift of $7,000 for the same purpose has
been made bean Indian gentleman, Mr.
Cowasjeir Jehangeer Ready Money, in
tokeg, of his gratitude to the people of
England for the protection enjoyed by
him and his Parsee brethren in India.
A DUEL with the most comical result s
took place a few days ago at Cohoes, New
York. Two men met at a 'hotel and
drank and laughed and talked themselves
into a quarrel. One was so much larger
than the other that the latter did not wish
to come to blows, but proposed a duel to
Bettie the differences between them.
This was agreed to, and the parties met
with seconds and pistols.' They were to
stand back to back, advance five paces,
turn and fire. The programme was filth
fully carried out, and the shots were fired
simultaneously. But as the lead had
been drawn from both pistols by the
owner, no one was injured. Just at the
moment of firing one of the seconds threw
a small pebble at the opponent of his
principal. It struck the duelist in the
breast, and he supposing that he was
mortally wounded, fainted and fell. The
Other, sunposing that he had kille4 big
man, ant would - be anienatN to the layer
dropped his pistol and. fied. Soon aftef
the man Who thought he was killed re.
covered, and, Seeing nothing' of his late
antagonist, inquired where he was. On
being told that he had killed his rival,
and that his body had been busied , 1 he,
too, started up and fled In an opposite el
rection, and neither has since been heard
from. Both the men were new comers
in the locality, and had already estab
lished such reputations that the commu
nity is not sorry to lose them.
Tar, Inhabitants of Durrensteln and the
neighborhood are living a life , of
constant dread. Near the castle which
tradition points out as the prison of Rich
ard Ccear de Lion, a whole granite cliff
has begun to slide downwards, and it is
expected from day to day that the vast
mass of rock will be precipitated over the
road into the Danube. The highway is
closed from 8 o'clock in the evening till
6 o'clock in the morning, and during the
day every one who wishes to pass is given
to understand that'he does so at his own
risk. Mr. Bolch, a well known engineer,'
is engaged' on works which • are intended
to diminish as much as possible the de•
structive effects of the catastrophe.

lar" SCHENCK'S POLMONIC
SYRUP, SEAWEED TONIC AND
Iif.ANDRANX PILLS will cure Consumption,
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia., if taken accord
ing to directions. They are all three to be taken
at the same time. They cleanse the stomach, re
lax the ilvor and put itto work; then the appetite
becomes good; the fotei digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the
diseased matter ripens Into the lungs, and the
patient Outgrows the disease and gets well. This
Is the only way to cure consumption.
• To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck. of
Philadelphia. owerhis unrivaled success In the
treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The Put.
motto Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by au easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
T. do this, the Seaweed 'ionic and Mandrake
Pills must be art ely tiled to Cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food w.ll make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
remcvl d t,z all obstructions. relax the uucts of the
gall Id der, the bile starts freely and the liver
is soon relieved;the stools will show what the
Pills can do,• nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly po'son which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care, I that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretione
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. •
Liver Complaint is one of tire - sost prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is is gentle stimulant
and alterative. and the alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric Inice to dissolve
the food with the Putmonic Syrup, audit is made
into good Need without fermentatiOn Or souring
In the stomach. r
The great reason why physicians do not curd
Consumption Is, they try W de. Sots much,• they
give medicine to stop the coup. to sup chllls,to
stop night sweats, hectic fever and by so doing
they derange the whole digest ive wen. lock.-
Ing up the secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, In his treatment, doeo not tr y to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Re
move the cause, and taey will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint. D'AVetisla, Catarrh
Canker, UltmratedVhroat, unless the liver and
atontach are made healthy.
If a person nes consumption, of course the
nags in some way are diseased, either tubercles,
abcessea, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion,
or the lungs are a mass of IEII ammation and fast
decaying. In such cases what must be done? It
is not only the lungs mat are wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of fo d. Now the
only chance Is to tate Lir. Schenck's three medi
cines, which will bring up a tone to the stomach,
the patient will begin to want food, it will digest
easily and make good blood; then the patient be
gins to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body be
gins to grow, the lungs commence to heal up,
and the patient gets et shy and well. This is tue
only way to cure Consumption.
When there is no lung disease and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, bchenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pins
freely In a.l billions complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, whci has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 2125
pounds, was wanted away to a mere skeleton, In
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
bi. phy.icians havinapropounced his case hope
less and abandoned tom to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid met icines, and since his recove
ry many thousands similarly afflicted have used
Dr. bchenck's preparation with the same re
markable success. Full directions accompany
each, making it not absolutely necessary to per
sonally see Dr. Schenck, unless patients wish
their lungs examined, and for this
_purpose he is
