OF LIFE.

Yesterday morning we announced a ters rible boiler explosion at Chatham, N, B, The St. John News gives the following des plorable particulars :—

‘‘ When the steam was cleared away Jas. Ross and Michael Powers were found to have been instantly killed. The bodies presented a horrible appearance. ‘They were actually baked. Powers was stands ing erect, with a blown out portion of the boiler directly across his legs. John Mc- Dowell, belonging to Greenock, was badly burned about the body. He was removed to Dr. Cassiday’s. Dr. Thompson attend« ed McDowell, but his injuries defied medi- cal skill, and he lived only an_ hour. Robert Sweeze, a married man belonging to Chatham, was burned in the back, arms, and legs. He is under Dr. Baxter’s treat~ ment, and it is thought that he will re« cover. The above were mill firemen, Chas. Morris, also a fireman, was burned in the arms, but not badly. Asa White» head, Engineer, was burned in the right shoulder and and ankle, and badly inside the right thigh. He was also badly in- jured on the head, with a brick, it is thought, Dr. Joseph Benson attended him.

Edward Harding, Day Engineer, says there was plenty of water in the boiler, and the explosion, in his opinion, was caused by a defect in the boiler, although the boilers were new, and were about three« eighths of an inch in thickness.

Considerable mill property was torn up by the explosion. The jury adjourned till

onday morning.”’

SAGACITY OF A CIRCUS HORSE. Without depreciating modern establishs ments of this kind our recollections go back to Astley’s Ampitheatre, near Vest. minster bridge, London, as it used to be 30) or 40 years ago, under the management of the late Mr. Ducrow.* The feats there per~ formed by some of the horses were exceed~ ingly wonderful... The animals seemed to possess a degree of human intelligence. They were accomplished actors. ‘Their powers of. simulation with a view to. en- tertain spectators went far beyond what any one could .expect whose knowledge is confined, to the ordinary class of horses. We will mention a few particulars regard. ing .the horses at Astley’s as they occur to ourmemory. One evening the performs ance represents a house on fire. All thé inhabitants in the house had managed to escapeexcept a Jady in-an upper story. You saw her at a window throwing about ner arms wildly, and screaming help. Her appeals te the assembled crowd beneath were heart.rending. The firemen could not reach her, for the stair was seemingly in a blaze, and there was no fire escape. The spectators in the theatre were wrought up to an agony, it being too evident that the poor lady was doomed to perish bya paintul and violent death, In the midst of the commotion a horse which belonged to the lady rushed'upon the stage. In its stable it heard the screams of its mistress, and hastened to do its best to save her. Without saddie or bridle it was seen to rush into the house, and climbe the stairs amid the flames and volumes of smoke. it reached the apartment where the lady was, She mounted on its back, holdin on by the mane, and the horse, descending ‘the stairs, brought her safely to the ground, Prolonged shouts of applause rewarded the hazardous. exploit. The whole thing was a beautififul piece of acting, evoking throughout sentiments of pleasure and ad- miration, Nothing but kindness and long training could have. made. the horse so clever in knowing what to do and how do it well, The feat was more surprising as horses usually have a dread of fire which is not easily conquered. It wili be under. stood that the fire had been so adroitly managed as to effect no injuryon the theatre and that there never had been any real danger. —Chambers’ Journal.

The Tyne yields every year a iarger amount of salmon for the food supply of the nation than any other two English rivers put together. It is vastly the most productive salmon farm in England. The Severn, in fish productiveness, stands next to the Tyne. Moreover, when comparing them, it must be remembered that the Severn is four times the larger of the two rivers. ‘lhe catchment basin of the Severn extends over 4,437 square miles, while the catchment basin of the Tyne has an extent of but 1.053 square miles. The Severn yielded in the last five recored years—i. ¢., from 1871 to 1875 inclusivye— 65 012 salmon, ‘while during the same time the compara> tively diminutive Tyne yielded no fewer than 382,528 fish.

The Field has a letter, a column in length, from an occasional correspondent, speaking of the live stock trade to and from Canada. The proportions it has grown to are proved to be enormous, con- sidering the imfancy of the enterprise. Special attention is called to a consignment of carriage horses from Toronto to Mr.

Tattersall, by the Allan steamer ‘‘Sarma- tian,’’

FRrepaicuon, Aug. 19,—-At nine o’clock Mass this morning Rev. Mr. Pricillius ans nounced that, as the School Trustees had not consented to certain arrangements under which the Catholics were to come under the School Law, the Catholic Schools would open on Wednesday next under the old system, and continue so for at least another year. ‘The trouble is said to have arisen on account of the Board not en- gaging twoof the Sisters of Charity who hold licenses under the Provincial Board and the Board of Education of Dublin ress pectively. Rev. J. C., McDevitt will act as Principal for the year. The children meet in the old hall of the St. Dunstan's Society on Tuesday morning to be classified. The boys are to meet at 10 in the morning and the girls at 2in the afternoon, The dis- agreement causes much talk among a few, but many people have been expecting that something like this would turn up for some time,

FRANCE, Gambetta some days ago made a great speech at Lille, the publication of which hitherto has been prevented by fears of cevsorship. He expressed great confidence in the result of the elections and spoke with his usual bitterness against the Bona, partists. He closed by asserting his con- tidence that MacMahon and every citizen would be compelled to submit to the wil!

of the nation. MEXICO.

A San Antonia despatch say that Bena< vides telegraphs General Ord that of the eight outlaws who attacked the Rio Grande jail five reside in Les Maingo and two in Texas. Three have been captured. The prospect of the capture of the others is good, and the aeutrality laws should be enforced, The Kickapoos have driven a herd of horses into Mexico, sixty miles be- low Duncan. General Marano, on the Mexican side, and General Schofield, on: the American side, have gone to the place where they crossed.

UNITED STATES.

- Keely, the motor man, explains his long silence by saying that be has been engaged for over a year in the construction of a machine weighing twenty tons, and costing $60,000, to’ generate the new force he claims to have discovered. Mr. Keely’s friends have still the greatest confidencein his ability to master all difficulties in his way.

So long ago as 1867 Prince Bismarck had the highest opinion of Prince Gortacha- koft’s abilities. In theee days he declared the Russian to be the greatest statesman of his time, and expressed the belief that

&| history would contirm that judgment.

The American hinted that among his. own countrymen public opinion inclined to award the first place to Bismarck himself, to which the Count modestly replied: “No; I am only the pupil. He 1s the master.’’

The revival of trade in the South and West of the United States is confidently expected this fall, in consequence of the splendid harvests in those sections. But the men of the Commune on and along the great lines of communication between the Atlantic cities and the wheat fields of the West constitute an important factor in the question to tesolved. It remains to be seen what attitude will be assumed by them. They have it seemingly in their power todo much to impede traffic and free commercial intercourse. They have been taught some severe lessons, but it is far from certain that they are likely to profit from them as fully as could be des sited,

Mr. Beecher, in his lecture at Plymouth Church, last Friday evening, is reported to have said: He had had his troubles, and he thought no one could say he had not borne them well. He could go on under all trials, unless his stomach should give way. One shouid pray to the Lord to take care of his liver and stomach, for when they were out of order grace had a hard time of it, Mr. Beecher felt that he was better fitted to be a teacher of his church after the experience of the past year. He, however, took everything in a quiet way, and seldom felt like shouting “Glory!’ or ‘“Hallelujah!’’ as his life was drawing to a close. Mr. Beecher said he thought the heavenly truths were becoming more beau. tiful to him, like leaves in autumn. He had Jearned to live not in a tumultuous or ecstatic state, but in a very calm, stead. fast, waking state, content with the pres» ence of God, willing to go, willing to stay, willing to live, willing todie. His life had been a very happy one, and one of extrax ordinary prosperity. He might be soon taken away from his congregation, and he wished to leave them his last testimony of the glory and the beauty of God, and of the sweetness and companionship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
