DYNAMITE ATROCITIES. All London in Fsrment Over Several Eiplo iioni Last Nicht. MANY PERSONS MAIMED. A London oable latter of thia morning "ayH dynamite i the sensation of the day Kttypl for a tune ii eclipsed, and all local uii.irn are thrown in the ohade. A lenee of explosion! escurred last evening wbiob attracted maob attention. At '.MS p. m an ti[ lotion wan beard in the vicinity ol Hoot laud Yard. Traced to its aouros, it WM discovered that oca of the police bead- quarters building, oaed as a lodging house by deuolives, had been demolished, and number of hooaaa In the vicicity badly damaged. The adjoining (Mart net- tavern wan demolished. Several cabs were over turned, one wrecked al tone iher, and aome of the honed badly injured, and policemen on patrol seriously hurt. Two minutes later a second explosion c ecucred, tbia time in tall Hall. Thw shattered tue window* of the Carlton Club and considerably njured ether structures in that vicinity, tearing op the roadway BO that it waa impasnable The rumor* became current that Victoria Btation waa blown up, but investigation bowed it to be unfounded. Three minntea after the Pall Mall explosion a third explo lion occurred in bt. Jamas' Square, a ibort distance from the scene of the second con cuasioo. Tbia case was the severest of all The back wall of the Junior Carlton Club buildin?, which faoea on Pall Mall, was blown m, and the splendid man* ion of Sir Watkin William Wynu, M P., No. 1- St. James' Square, waa partially wrecked. Two of Sir Watkin's men-servants received slight injuries. The windows wi re smashed and the gas extinguished. Kigbt maid-ser vanta> of the Junior Carlton Club were wounded by flying debrii. When the rear wall of that building caved in they ware removed to a hospital. At 'J.'AO p.m igbteen slabs of dynamite, all oouneoted with the slab which bad a fuae attached, ware found by the police at the base of the Nelson Monument in Trafalgar Square. They were conveyed to Scotland Yard and examined by Colonel Majendie, Inspector of Explosives for the Board of Works, who pronounced them to be nilro com pound Had an explosion occurred in Trafalgar Square great loss of life mast have ensued aa at that hour the vicinity is crowded with pedestrians and loungers. The explosions and the discovery of the evidetoe of a wide apread plan of deatruetion have caused great consternation among all ol-*es. The fact that such extensive operationa could be carried on *nooe*fully in the very heart ol the eity in spite of the vigilance of tb< police gives rise to a feeling ol [Minority and dismay. The police think that several dynamiters must have started oat just after dusk, each goini directly to a previously selected apot and depositing the exploaives in such a matter- of-fact way aa to attract no attention. The singling out Scotland Yard aa one of the points of attack was, of course, a pieae ol bravado intended to ahow complete defiance and contempt of the authorities. The police are maddened by to-night'a evidence of their inoompeteniy, and are the subjects of ridicule at tbe clubs and other resorts where the matter is djBonsaed. The number of persons in tbe hospital aaneiia* from injuries caused by tbe explosions is twelve. The Daily TeUyrafh says: "Who are the victim*".' Tbsy are harmless pede* triasa. Tet they are maimed at hap. hazard to bring joy to tbe souls and money to the pockets of Rossa and hi* ahamelan American crew. There will be a terrible day of reckoning for theae dynamiters, mud it la not far distant The Port saya : " It is imperative that England insist forthwith that America shall no longer harbor dynamiters. Eng- land and America are happily at peace, and between friendly Power* certain obligations exist wbiob it is impossible to ignore with out seriously endangering tbe maintenance of amity." Tbe Daily Next saya: " Tbe explosions show that tbe purpose and methods of the dynamiters have not been ohecktd. Tbe miscreants are clever, wall chosen and well disciplined." Tbe Sassxiard, while belittling tbe efforts of the dynamiters, warns them that they are running a fearful risk. Even a worm will torn, and it will be a terrible day for tb* dynamiters when the people of London make up their minds to bite. It will take but little more to bring them to that point.

A Baltimore, Md . despatch says: Tba weight of cotton stored in Hooper's build- ing, in tbia city, caused it to collapse thia afternoon. When the front of tbe building fell in three or four persons wire in the counting room, four in the shipping office, and at least fifteen or twenty in front ol tbe ttrnctnre. Men were immediately set to work removing the dekrii in order to get the people out. The body of Mortimer H. Lintbioum, cashier of the house, was found packed in between several barrels ; it was impossible to reach him. A man named Kelly and a colored boy were al> found among tbe ruins. Eight bodies so far have been recovered. Up to 7 o'clock no more bodies had been recovered. Edward Bowen, a colored porter cf the firm, ia known to be in the wreck, as well aa Gildea Hook and Kenneth Me Lea, employees of tbe firm occupying a aeeond storey room. The building WM erected twenty- five years ago, and was supposed to be one of the most substantial in ths city. On which storey the break occurred ii not known ; all are down from the front to within forty feet of the rear. Tbe ground on which the building stood was filled in, having been the nvnr shore. The foundation la said to have settled and caused the calamity. * One of the questions asked a ragged little girl of H at a reosnt lehool examination in Ireland, we presume, waa: "Why were Adam and Eva driven out of Paradise?" " Because they didn't pay their rent," was the prompt reply. On inquiry it appeared that the poor child's parents had been evicted several times for the same reason. Any work, no matter how bumble, that a man honors by efficient labor and atiady application, will be found important enough to secure respect for himself and credit for his name. A BELLIGERENT EKAL Cats Drunk st the Derby and Attack* Railway Official*. HIS LEO BROKEN IN TWO PLACES. A cablegram from London says : Ths Earl of Ayleaford, who is well known in America at the owner of an immense ranch in Texac. on which bo remains most of the time and where be baa immense herd* of oattle, has lately been prominently before the law oouris of England in the rule of an injured husband, with the young Duke of Marlboroutfb as tbe co-respondent. He bad just succeeded in defeating Lady Ayleaford'solaiDj for alimony on tbe ground that ahe bad beeu guilty of " molestation " by appropriating bis reoond title Lord Guernsey for her illegitimate child by the Duke of Marlborocgh. Perhaps it was to celebrate this victory that be got intoxicated at the Derby yesterday, but at all event* be was very drunk wben he cams back from tbe raoea to London Bridge in a third- class carriage of an excursion train on tbe Dover A Chatham Kailway. The train was crowded with roughs and a succession of small kirmiabes took place between tbe Kuards and tbe pasaengersall the way up to London. Lord Aylestord was not only drunk but obstinate, and be absolutely re- fused to surreuder bis ticket to the in- spector at Loudon bridge. Tbe official permuted in bis demand, and the noble earl bit him on tbe head with a stout walking-stick. A struggle ensued, in the course of which Loid Ajltsfcrd was thrown heavily to tbe ground. When he was picked op it was found that one of bis legs bad been broken in two places, and he waa carried to a oab and driven home. He now threatens an action for damages against tbe Dovi-r A Chatham Kailway Company, but If be attempts thin the company will undoubtedly retort with a prosecution for iUlt aod battery upon the inspector. i in l'i...i.iln for t in -ii n II. :.iHbll.h.ut .1 Ike I Cllrs.

It is expected that tbe building now used as a cheese factory at the College can bs made available for tbe u*a of the creamery, and thai by this means tbe expense will not be greater than f 1 300.

On taking np tbe floor on Mr. Kirk'* ude of tbe wall, it waa seen thai a small hole had been bored Ibrough the wall and only recently filled op as the mortar was quits f reeh. The xilioe were consulted and Kirk placed under irrottt on suspicion. Kirk is well-known to be trade in Montreal aud Toronto. Him islf and wife lived over the itore.

On the 3rd, at Milton of Balfonie Spin- ning Mill, while a Dundee steeple jack waa at the top of the stalk, bis clothes were set on fire by a spark, and he was severely burutd. A beautiful mortuary chapel has been erected m Arbroatb cemetery by Mr. Pat- rick Allan Fraser, of Hospitalfield. It has been in conns of erection during nine years. It ia understood tbat, before returning to America, Mr. Andrew Carnegie will for- mally band over to Uunfermhne tbe fine memorial window which he is to place in tbe Abbey Church, at a cost of about 2 500.

James Barton, an influential and respected oilizan, and wbo for a num- ber cf years ha- been working in tbe P. F. W. repair (hops at this place, about six weeks ago, by reason of sickness was obliged to quit woik and go home. It seems that Mr. Barton grew gradually worse, and he was obliged to take hia bed a part of tbe time, but be was not considered dangerous. About 2 o'clock yesterday Mr. Barton'a family were startled by bia apparently dying condition. Hia features were very much distorted, and he fell back on bis pillow seemingly dead. Tbe family, almost crazed with grief, attracted tbe attention of their neighbor*, wbo, bearing them, rushed in aod discovered tbat Mr. Barton bore no signs of animation, and upon a closer ex- amination they pronounced life extinct. His breathing was not perceptible, and his eys looked as if they were closed in death. The mystery is tbat Mr. Barton remained In this condition for four hours. Prepara- tion* for burial were about to be made, but happily for tbe family and all Mr. Barton's acquaintances when 6 o'clock arrived, be suddenly aroused from bis supposed death- bed as quickly as ha bad seemingly expired. There IB something very mysterious con- ceoted with thia affair, for during the four hours Mr. Darton lay as a oorpae be waa turned about and all those who reviewed him claimed that there waa no visible signs of Ufa. A famous mollah at Cabul having de- clared the use of tobacco to be contrary to tbe Mohammedan law, the Ameer has submitted tbe question to a council of mollaha from all parts of tbe country.

I n.l Z Because a woman is obliged to eoono nuzn and remake ber old dresses, it doe* not follow that she ia not a lady in tbe ae cepted sense of tbe term. A " lady" is i woman who clearly understand* and con siatently practices the refinements of i highly civilized existence ; and the mos real distinction between a lady and i woman who is not a lady ia tbat one i* meresivilizdd than tbe other, and more de termined to preserve tbe habit* tf a high civilization, both in her own person and in all those over whom aba bas authority These habits are not limply habits of ex peuae ; it is cheaper to remain sober than to gel tipay, and yet i* more lady lik* to be sober. It doea not oo*l more money to speak good Eugliab than bad, or to be gen lie than rude; yet a lady from preference peak* correctly and bas gentle manner* It so happens tnat by force of circumstances there are more ladies in the upper classes than in tbe lower, and tbat there iiaatvere pubno epinion in tbe upper classes about most things whiob, taken together, oonsti lute civilization . bt cause it is a fault in rich people who have great facilities not to be clean, and cultivated, and polite, when il may only be a misfortune in poor once There is, then, really snob a thing aa lady huod, aod it is one of the strongest of civil iziog influences. II. . I* ttlakr M. nl. I k I . mpnnt Mrs. L. Haulage, in an article on The Art of Garnishing, " says : As a ruls, those who blend colors bar monioualy and artiatioally on their own persona and in their own home* will be most likely to succeed in their task, and all wbo will take a little trouble to make svery-day meals look tempting will find less difficulty in setting cf! to tbi bael advantage those of a more elaborate char aoter. A vary pretty and inexpenaive ornament may be found in ooooaont grated on psrftctly clean grater one nut makes a good pile ; it falls 10 lightly and prettily that if the nut be a fresh one it will look like snow. It is vary useful in many cases when the supply of whipped oream runs short, as it can be iprinkled over custard or tbe top of a trifle ; a colored jelly or cream surrounded by it is very pleasing to the eye, especially it strips of oandird fruit of various colors are placed among the nut . when cherries are used they can be dropped n whole. Al no time is tbs knowledge of tbe art of garnubiog however slight -of more value than when the aupply of glass and crockery runs short, aud some diabes are too large and others of an unsuitable kind for tbe contents. It is then requisite to conceal them as much as possible, and garnish becomes really onoeesary. Again, Ibe knsok of ornamenting Hands ons in good stead wben, either to an every- day or a company dish, an accident bap pens, and tha result i* unsatisfactory, to say tba least of it. Here is a case in point. I waa onoe at anppsr at a friend's, who had made a very pretty sweet, consisting of a ground-rice oream, turned out of a "border mould," the open apace in tbe centre being filled with a compote of damsons ; bnt tbe weatber being warm, and the rice not itiff enough, it had cracked in several places. I asked for a little dried fruit, but there was none in tbe bouse except oaudied peel, orange and lemon, bnt that answered very well ; long thin strips laid lightly over aud between each crack improved the appear- anor, and no one suspected the existence of blemish. Let us preaume that a dainty pudding baa been turned out of tbe baking dish, and tbat it i* found to be overbaked, and, in place cf a delicate amber, a dark browp patch presents itself ; consider a moment bow best to hide it. Never mind if in tbe tecipe nothing wa* aaid about a layer of jam or marmalade ; tbs chance* are tbat it will not spoil tha pudding. Of oaurse, discretion muat be used in mixing any flavora that would nullify each other. Cream or ouatard, however, will rarely apoil any pndding, either in taste or-appear anoa. A meringue mixture ia as aafe and pretty aa anything ; to make it, beat the whites of two or three eggs stiff, and than atir in lightly an ounce of finely lifted angar to each white. This may be dropped from a spoon or spread over Ih* podding, which should then be returned to the oven just long enough to aet the coating. Hard aauoea can be well need as a gs>rniih to agreat variety of puddings, or little heaps may be mixed with, er spread ovir, a fruit compote. Lastly, homely family sweets may always be rendered attractive, at no increase in the cost, if ths will be there, for it ia as easy to / pour a compote of trait round a plain mould of ries or tapioca a* to place them on the table irrespective of appearance, for, let aome people say what they will, the palate is affected to a very great extent through. i he aye. lllHf ! llou.rk. r (x-r.

Be care- ful about letting tbe wash get into your eyes, aa it will weaken them. A Useful Dish. A great convenience is found ia this simple contrivance : Have a tin dish made tafehsg, and with a*long handle ; have il small enough around, so tbat yon can place it inside tbe tea-kettle ; it is invaluable wain there ii sickness in tbe family, as there are so many oooai ions wben one needs to cook gruel or custards at short notios, and with perfect immunity from thi danger of burning, even though constant attention cannot be given them.

To clean tbe waste pipe leading from the link, pour down them a strong solution of potash dissolved in hot water. Be very careful tbat none of this mixture gets on your hands or olothicg, an it will destroy all animal matter that it oomaa in contact with. One way to prepare aeparagua is to boil it in salted water until it ie tender, then serve wilh drawn butter ; or make a saoee of IKK- butler, pepper and salt, put a lump of butler into tba frying pan, break half a dozen sggs into a bowl, beat them with a spoon, and then pour them into the frying pan, atirring all the lime ; whan they begin to harden pour them over the aaparagus. Miss Parloa, in a recent lecture in New York, said one of the most frequent mis- takes people make i* in putting on too much coal. Never have the coal come above tbe lining of tbe itove. It is a waste of fuel, and the fire will cot be so bright and clear, because tbe draught will not be so good, \vben not oiing the fire, keep tbe damper* closed ; it will be ready when needed ; thin open tbe draughts. For cooking, either on top of the stove or in the oven, no matter how bot the fire desired, having tbe coal come nearly to tbe top of tbe lining, tb* fire ought to last four boor* without new coal or poking. Tb* top of tbe itove may be red hot, and the coal piled up to tbe lid*, and yet the ovens will aot bake. It it became there) ia too much coal, and the draught i* atopped by it. The practice of having tbe top of th* atove or range red bot will soon destroy it. n wrM New* Tha North Saskatchewan ia too low for navigation at I'riooe Albert.
