***"" *HE DYNAMITE PLOT. fM(fc||iil Effects of the Explosion--HorH- ti»8waM »t Bremerha*en after the Dts- The folio-wing particulars respecting the dynamite explosion at Bremerhaven are from the Weiser Zeitunfj : "It appears that just before theMosel m about to sail, a cart, containing four oases and a barrel, was being unloaded for shipment. Suddenly a terrible ex­ plosion occurred. The effect was horri­ ble. The quay was then thronged witS people--partly belonging to the steamer, partly spectators, and partly passeDgers who had remained there to take a last farewell of their friends. An eye wit­ ness who stood under the gangway of the Mosel, on hearing the terrible report saw a number of black lumps flying around about in the air, while very few of the persons on land remain «d visible. Apprehending a boiler explosion, he "threw himself flat on the deck, where he received a volley of sand, broken glass, fragments oi flesh, bones, etc. The de­ vastation on board the Mosel was terrific. No skylight was left, the cabins aft, starboard and port were either crushed in or bulged out by the pressure, or al­ together smashed: the side plates of the ship were burst, the ports, with their glasses and rivets, forced inward, and the whole skip was besmeared with blood and stuck over with pieces of flesh and other human debris. In the hold and all parts of the ship were found arms, legs and other portions of the hu­ man frame; thus the lower hold received some limbs through the open hatchways. The sides of the hatchways were burst by the pressure, and the front of the navigation cabin on deck stove in. The whole ship was littered with glass shreds, which even filled the dishes from the steam kitchen as they were being served to the 'tween deck steerage pas­ sengers. The tug got off comparatively unhurt, being so much below the quay line than the Mosel; still, the whole deck of it was destroyed. The crew came off. with a mere fright, only the engineers and stokers having been hurt slightly. On land, where the package had been unloaded, a hole had been produced from six to seven feet deep. The whole place was strewn with limbs, shreds of dress, etc. In large reeking pools of blood you might see here an urm, there a calf, intestines, mutilated busts, etc. Among the most horrible details of this calamity is the fate of the Etmer family, who were seeing joff one of their sons to California. The father, mother, son and son-in-law are dead, all four; the daugli- ter-in-law had her arm, aud her child its hand, blown off. The casa which ex­ ploded had been in the care of the car­ rier, Westermann, of Bremerhaven, and was .accompanied on its way to the steamer by a Mr. Tumforde, of whom it is said all trace has been lost The cart has been shattered into thousands of splinters, and the poor horse has had his four feet blown off near the hoofs. '* Tile scouG &>t ilie hospital dead- house was of the most harrowing character. The mutilated remains ailed a large bas­ ket, which four strong men could hardly carry. There were also a number of heads, which from time to time were in spected by people looking for friends or relatives. About thirty wounded persons were in the hospital; many others were in private houses. Nearly every family in the little town has suffered severely. One passenger speaking of the explo­ sion, says :.. "I was leaning against the mast of the Mosel, enjoying the scene, when suddenly I fell flat on my face, and heard a terrific noise. I thought that the boiler of the Mosel had exploded at first, and then I imagined that it must certainly be the boiler of the steam-tug. Long pieces of wood, iron and glass, and parts of human bodies were falling around and upon me. The scent) was awful." Charles F. Mueller, of Milwaukee, Wis., who was on the Mosel at the time of the explf ion, says he was thrown down the stairway of the cabin, and, re­ covering, he went forward and saw the deck covered with dead bodies and pools of blood. The bodies were mostly strip­ ped of their olothing, and some were per­ fectly naked. " I covered up the na kedness of several of the dead, both men and" women. I saw a Hebrew on a trunk, stripped of his clothing and ap­ parently wounded. His head was falling back, and he appeared to be suffocating. I took some bedclothes out of the trunk, which was burst open by the explosion, and made a comfortable seat for him. Five ramutes afterward hd died. A sailor kindly brought him some water, but his mouth was filled with coagulated blood, and he could not swallow the water. . I then attended a young lady who was screaming for help, and de­ nuded of all her clothing from her waist, I covered her over with some sheeting. She had been struck with a bar of iron from the deck railings." Lewi look wis?" >ked ii ire one " None," rejplied he. They into each other's eyes silently, gave one more last shake each to the hand he held, and thus parted for the last time. Now, I should say that the impulse which drew these minds to this inquiry through so many years was a better affirmative evidence than their failure to find a confirmation was nega­ tive.--R. W. Emerson's New Book. An Evidence of Immortality. I find that what is called great and powerful life--the administration of large affairs, in commerce, in the courts, in the State-- is prone to develop narrow and special talent; bat, unless combined with a certain contemplative turn, a taste for abstract truth, for the moral laws, does not build up faith or lead to con­ tent. There is a profound melancholy at the base of men of active and power­ ful talent seldom suspected. Many years ago there were two men in the United States Senate, both of whom are now dead. I have seen them both; one of them I personally knew. Both were men of distinction, and took an active part in the politics of their day and gen­ eration. They were men of intellect, and one of them, at a later period, gave to a friend this anecdote: He said that when he entered the Senate he became in a short time intimate with one of his colleagues, and, though attentive enough to the routine of public duty, they daily returned to each other and spent much time in conversation on the immortality of the soul. When my friend at last left Congress, they parted, his colleague re­ maining there, and, as their homes wera widely distant from each other, it chanced that he never met him again till, twenty-five years afterward, they saw each other through open doors, at a distance, in a crowded reception at the President's house in Washington. Slowly they advanced toward each other as they could through the biilliant company, and at last met, said nothing, but shook hands long and cordially. At last his friend said, "Any light, Albert?" " Non^" readied Albert. " Any light, The Great Appletonian Enterprise* (New York Cor. Detroit Free Press.] The Appletons advertise their new edi tion of the Cyclopedia as an appropriate holiday gift. It certainly is a most valu­ able and extraordinary work--undoubt­ edly the greatest literary, enterprise ever undertaken in the Ilnitftil States. A lit­ tle information concerning it may not be out of place. The work has now Reached it« fourteenth volume, and the two re­ maining volumes are in press, and will be issued within a few months. From the beginning of the first volume to the end of the last, the matter is almost en­ tirely new. To call it a revision and elaboration of the first Cyclopedia, pub­ lished fifteen years ago, would hardly be correct, the labor on this one being al­ most as great as the preparation of a completely original work of the same kind would be. Since it was taken in hand, three years ago, a very large lit­ erary force, comprising the foremost writers and scholars in the country, and working under the general directions of George Ripley and Charles A. Dana, has been steadily employed uponit. Pretty much every page of the old work has been re-written and the amount of new matter added would make a very respect­ able cyclopedia of itself. More­ over, there is scarcely a line in the whole sixteen volumes that has not been "boiled down," so to speak, half a dozen times after leaving the hands of the specialist who prepared it, so careful are the chief editors to have the work absolutely perfect in every re­ spect. Among the writers engaged in the various departments are Robert Car­ ter, Dr. A. H. Guernsey, Rossiter John­ son, Judge Cooley, Prof. J. C. Dalton, Prof. Richard A. Proctor, Prof. You- rnans, Prof. T. S. Hunt, Prof. Knee- land, Prof. Drown, Prof. Joy, Count Pourtales, the Rev. Dr. Bernard O'Reil­ ly, Mr. H. C. Baird, Dr. Hogeboom, Mr. Bing, Mr. Van Rhyn, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Burlingame and Mr. Heilprin, the latter a scholar of wonderful erudition, who examines every article after it is supposed to have received the finishing touches from half a dozen other^hands. It is needless to say that the cost of the work must be enormous. Each volume stands the publishers in $30,000 before a copy is sold. Thus the outlay on the complete work is close on half a million dollars. The expenditure for wood en­ gravings alone is about $80,000. All the paper that is used is made expressly for the Cyclopedia, and from type to binding it is special aud new in every sense. It certainly far surpasses any other literary enterprise ever attempted in the United States, and is creditable in every way to the respectable house that has invested what might be considered a colossal fortune in it. Old Maids. A quaint and gallant writer, some fifty years ago, said: " I love an old maid--I use the single number, as speak­ ing of a singularity in humanity. An old maid is not merely an antiquarian, she is an antiquity; not merely a record of the past, but the very past itself; she has escaped a great change, and sympa­ thizes not in the ordinary mutations of morality. She inhabits a little eternity of her own. She is miss lrom the be­ ginning of the chapter to the end. I do not like to hear them called mistress, as is sometimes the practice, for that looks aud sounds like a resignation of despair, a voluntary extinction of hope. 1 do not know whether marriages are made in heaven; some people say they are, but I am almost sure old maids are. There is something about them which is not of the earth, earthly. They are spectators of the world--not adventur­ ers or ramblers, perhaps guardians; we say nothing of tattlers. They are evi­ dently predestined to be what they are. They owe not the singularity of their condition to any lack of beauty, wisdom, wit, or good temper; there is no account­ ing for it but on the plea of fatality. I have known many old maids, and of them all, not one that has not possessed as many good and amiable qualities as ninety and nine of a hundred of my mar­ ried acquaintances. Why, then, are they single ? It is their fate." Remarkable Twin Brothers, Residing at Crescent, Saratoga Coun­ ty, are two old men, hale and hearty. They are twin brothers, and yet, strange to say, the birthday of one comes in the present year, that of the other not until next year, one of them coming into the world on New Year's eve, and the other on New Year's morning. These old men are in their 74th year. Their names are G. G. J. Lansing and Yandenberg Lan­ sing. One, whom his brother laughingly terms "the eldest," has retired from business with a competency, and the other is still engaged in the active pur­ suit of life, and claims to be able to do as good a day's work as ever. Another remarkable feature about these brothers is that, weighing as they now do nearly 200 pounds avoirdupois each, when first placed on 'lie scales they weighed, clothes and all, the one three pounds and a quar­ ter and the other four pounds. G. G. J. Lansing, irho is a carpenter, v ithin the past year framed and built a barn him­ self. The only help he received was in raising the frame. For a person 74 years old this is rather a remarkable feat.-- Troy (Ar. }r.) Times. " Tlie Day We Celebrate." Somebody has discovered and arranged the following, to show how marriage an­ niversaries may be celebrated systemati­ cally, correctly and according to Hoyle --possibly: First anniversary--Iron. Fifth anniversary--Wooden. Tenth anniversary--Tin. Fif teenth anniversary--Crystal. Twentieth anniversary--Cki>a. Twenty fifth annivers iry--Silver. Thirtieth anniversary--Cotton. Thirty-fifth anniversary--Linen. Fortieth anniversary--WCH >llen. Forty-fifth anniversary-- Sdk. - Fiftieth anniversary--Golden. Seventy-fifth anniversary--Diamond. Iowa and Wisconsin. The census of Iowa, taken Hie past summer, shows the State to have a pop­ ulation of 1,350,&44, an increase since 1870 of 156,524. The census of Wiscon­ sin token last June, shows a population of 1,236,729 an increase of 182,059. It will thus be seen that Wisconsin has gained 25,535 more than Iowa-in the past five years, and is now only 113.815 behind that State, although in 1870 die was behind 139,350. A con­ tinuance of a proportionate gain for ten years more would place Wiscon­ sin above Iowa in point of population. This is certainly a splendid showing for Wisconsin, for it should be remembered tliat Iowa is one of the most prosperous of the Western Suites, and is older in State organization than Wisconsin. There is little doubt that Wisconsin has sho®!i a liks progress in material wealth, and that financially she stands in the first rank. Her debt is compara­ tively small, being but $2,252,000. Only seven States that are older have less debts, and five that are younger--in other words, twelve States have less debits, while twenty-four have much larger. As the heaviest expenditures for improvements in the way of public institutions have been made, and these will only need to be enlarged from time to time, and as the taxable property is 3-apidly increasing in bulk, the rate of State taxation, which has never been very heavy, should steadily decline, and will do so if there is the proper manage­ ment of State affairs. Low taxation, coupled with a thrifty condition of affairs, is the best inducement that a Stale can hold out to emigrants. --Mil- waukee Wisconsin. k Brave Rescae. About two p. m. yesterday, while Mr. J.G. Abbott, the expressman, was at his house in Lawrence, Mass., he heard loud screams, evidently conning from the Spicket River, near by. He ran to the bank and saw a lad in the middle of the river, clinging to the edge of the thin ice. Mr. Abbott seized a plank, ran it out to the boy, who caught one end and clung till he was rescued by Abbott and a man whose name is not known. As soon as the boy was on shore he said another boy was in the river and under the ice. A number of small air-holes were in the ice, which was hardly thicker than window-glass, and through one of these Mr. Abbott saw a little hand floating on the water. The ice was too thin to bear a man's weight, and Abbott watched the hanc& till it passed two holes. There was but ' one more hole, and Abbott, lying flat on the ice, crawled along till he could bare­ ly reach the edge of the ice. Presently the hand came in sight, and was caught, but it required the most careful maneu­ vering to draw out th6 boy. Owing to the small size of the opening, and the position of the body of the boy. it was exti emeiy difficult to extricate him, and in drawing him out his face was badly cut When taken from the water the lad's body was swollen, his face discol­ ored, and he was apparently dead. Mr. Abbott hastened to a stable near by, and by his presence of mind and knowledge of resuscitation of drowning people, he restored the boy.--Boston Herald. " Throw Physic to the Dogi; I'll None of It." Wo do not in the least feel like blaming Mac­ beth for this expression of disgust: indeed, ire are rather inclined to sympathize with him. Even nowadays most of the cathartics offered to the publjp are great, repulsive-looking pills, the very abearance of which in emilicieut to '•turn one's 3tomach." Had Macbeth ever tiken Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets he would not have 'uttered thoae words of con­ tempt. It is really encouraging, when one is ill, to find that a little, sugar-coated Pellet, no larger than a prain of mustard, will as promptly produce the desired effect an a dose of great, nauseating pills. These little Pellets, unlike other cathartics, are really nature's physic. They do not debilitate, but tone and invigorate the system. No family should be without Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets. CHICAGO LEDGER--Best story paper going. See advertisement.
