wonderful. On and on it marches, till the
warm winds of the plain sweep up to it.
Here the hot sun greets it. It eats into
the bold front of the glacier, until it
changes its form and pace. Meanwhile a
river is making, which feeds the speed ot
the huge monster that formed it. Lower
and lower the glacier creeps; higher and
higher the river rises. It grows with the
day; it grows with the night. It becomes
a stranger to all manner ol decorum. It
springs again and again at the rot■ i,\ sen
tinels above it, and finally crumbles them
into its bosom. It up-roots the trees that
stands in its pathway. It sears the breast
of the mountains with its terrible iceberg
batteries. It licks up the soil of the
smaller valleys, and deepens that of the
larger ones. ' It dashes through the nar
row gorges, changing into boulders the
huge rocks that oppose its progress. It is
everywhere a power for new and radical
changes.—Overland Month It/.

Batloorting has recfived a fresh impetus
from the Franco-Prussian war, and promises
soon to develop into a first-class science. A
few facts concerning balloons may be of in
terest. The discovery of the levity of hydro
gen was made by Cavendish in 1 ?(!(>, and iu
1782 Cavallo, the electrician, tried the exper
iment of raising small balloons by its aid.
The next year the brothers Joseph and
Stepticn Montgolfier tested balloons on o
large scale, anJ I)e hazier subsequently as
cended, followed by Messieurs Charles am;
Hubert. In 17e5 M. Blanchard and l)r,
John Jeffries of Boston, Massachusetts,
crossed the Knglish Oh nncl and landed ill
the forest of tiuines, France. During the
Trench he volution each of the republican ar
mies was furnished with a balloon for the
purpose of reeonnoitering the enemy, but the
attempt was subsequently abandoned. The
part balloons have played in the present war
is know n by every elaily paper, in w hich the
iiue “by balloon lruiu Paris" bus become as
common as “by telegraph.” That some goud
will come* out of their use ia the emergency
of the Parisians can hardly be doubted. At
any rate, it lias demonstrated that lenal nav
igation is not nearly so chimerical an atfaii
a* some would have us suppose.
The Washington correspondent of the New

by Mr. I’uient Commissioner Fisher, wiio is
a brother-in-law of ex-Secretary Cox. Mad
ame Secretary Cox, alter perusing one ol
these Fisher articles, cut it out and enclosed
it to Mrs. Gruut, anonymously. Unfortu
nately for Mrs. ( ox, however, she accident
ally put the obnoxious article in un envelope
bearing the (amity monogram of Cox, and of
course Mrs. Grant immediately knew whence
it came. Further, she recognizes the caii
graphy of Mad?ime Cox, from whom she had
received letters; therefore, w hen Mrs. Grant
glanced over the article she naturally felt in
dignant, and put it into u Grant envelope
with the simple hut ■ putting words ‘Heturned
to Mr*. Cox, with the compliments of Mrs.
Grant.’ Since then the two ladies, 1 am in
formed, have not spoken.”

The Boston papers say the Tilton and Ful

an investigation made by a number of Mr.

Union office, November 4, at which Mr. Til

face to face, the following report was finally
adopted:
.4 Card In the Public.—Much has recently
been published in reference to the controver
sy- between Theodore Tilton, Esq., and Rev.
J. D. Fulton, and it may interest the public
to know tiiu result of a couterenco between
these two gentleman in the presence of their
friends; lienee the following card namely :
1. That Mr. Tilton’s informant, a gentle
man of intelligence, refinement ami veracity,
does in tlie most solemn manner reaffirm his
original statement, which Mr. Fulton as sol
emnly denies in his presence.
2. That the Rev. Dr. Arraitage affirms
that Mr. Fulton never preached for him in
Norfolk street on a Sunday evening in lboo.
to the best ot his recollection, but that I c did
preach tor Him on a Tuesday night in 1853 or
1854.
3. As the alleged transaction dates hack
to the year 1852, ami there have already ap
peared in this conference several discrepan
c.es in matter of memory and statement by
equally honorable men concerned iu the mat
ter, naturally arising from the lapse of time
involved, we concede to the parties at issue
the doubts arising from ail such discrepancies,
while neither of them abates a jot neither of
the allegation or the denial, but both leave
llie public to give credence to which side they
may choose, while tho present purpose of Mr.
Tilton and Ur. Fulton, mutually, is to dis
miss llie whole sui ji ct.
4. The eonfer« nee of friends referri tl to in
the above are firmly pvrsuadtd that all ti e
gentlemen named above have no disposition
to swerve from the truth in any measure
whatever, but mean to be true and honrahle in
their statements, which, as far as no* ap
pears, cannot be readily harmonized nut ol a
court of justice at this distant date from the
alleged transaction.

1VITSO-OL YCERINE EXVL OS 1 OX.
The Painesville (Ohio) Telegraph of I burs- j
day morning gives the following details of i
the terrible nitro-glycerine explosion which j
took place at Eairporl on Tuesday afternoon. ;
Tuesday afternoon, ut about a quarter to j
five o’clock, the people of Vainestilte were I
startled by a sudden concussion of the door*
and windows anil jarring ot buildings, as
though some heavy body bad been burled |
against, or a heavy tornado of wind liadsud- j
denly struck them, w ith a force almost sutb- |
cient to crush them in. This was followed !
by a dull, heavy reverberation, similar, yet
still unlike, the firing ot heavy guns at a ;
distance. Buildings were jarred, and trem- 1
bled as though shook by an earthquake. In
stantly people were seen rushing into the (
streets to ascertain the cause; many were
seized with a sudden panic and fear that we
were being visited by those disasters. The l
reverberation and rolling sound as of distant
thunder was still preemptible alter many ot
tire people bad got into the streets, at least
from three to five minutes after the fir.-r con
cussion was felt. An immense cloud of Idood
red smoke was first seen to arise in the direc
tion nf Eairport, and then to change its color
to a lighter hue, and spread ilselt out in the
heavens. This terrible phenomenon at once
seemed to explain the cause of the great com
motion. All at once understood that it was
either the explosion of die uitro glycerine
manufactory or of their magazines. Teams
were immediately brought into requisition,
and quite a number of our citizens started
lor the scene. On arriving at Eairport it
would lie impossible to describe the scene
wbieli the town presented. Thu whole place
seemed at first a complete mass of ruius.
The buildings were shattered, the doors blown
oil' their hinges, tits windows all smashed m.
plastering oil', crockery, lamps and looking
glasses demolished, chimneys torn down,;
stoves overturned, and everything in the
-houses in utter chaos. But it the scene was
tt rrible within, it was still more so w ithout.
The whole population nearly were in the
stieets, wild and crazed. The crash had
come so suddenly, and the concussion had
been so great, so atfeeting their minds and
nerves, that many of them for the time were
perfectly insane. Some ot the men we are
told, were /or a few moments attacking each
other, and women were insanely stiugglmg,
while all were loudly weeping and walling.
Children were running wildly about, scream
ing in terror, as if seeking protection, while
others were struggling and screaming in the
arms of their mothers, who were rushing
hither and thither, not knowing what to do or
It is said to have been one of the raoit
heart-rending scenes which could be imagined
In a few moments it was ascertained lllut both
the magazines of the Glycerine Company,
situated on the west side ot the river, had
exploded, and that four men w ho were at
work in or near them were blown to atoms.
And here a new scene of terror was witnessed
The cru s and grief ot the wife and little ones
of one of the lost men, on learning Ins late,
tilled the stoutest hearts with j*itj.-. it was a
scene never to be forgotten.
Great indignation is expressed against the
proprietors of the glycerine establishment.
Tile firm numbers four or five men, mostly
from Titusville, Pennsylvania. Une of the
firm, Mr. Wheeler, started to go from here to
the scene of the dicUstv r, hut was met by a
wagon load ot excited and infill iated individ
uals, who threatened to lynch hint, lie was
advised by friends that it would not be sale
lor liim to go to Fair port until the excitement
subsided, and lie returned to Painesville.
The immediate cause of the explosion is
not and never will be known. It is supposed
that Mr. Malone was digging a pit tor a new
magazine, and that one ot the men were en
gaged in putttug glycerine into cans from the
jars in the magazine ready tor shipping, while
the other two Were in some way assisting, by
carrying glycerine backward and forward be
tween the magazines and the manufactory.
The explosion of the two magazines, which
were near each other, was simultaneous, so
far as people in the vicinity could judge, they
bearing but a single lepoit. Tue men were
all blown to atoms. So tar as we have beard
only one piece ot flesh lias been found, not
larger than a man’s hand, and a bone, ap
parently part of a rib.
The concussion, or force of the explosion,
preceded the report, so that the first warning
that the people of Fairfield bad was the crash
ing in of their doors and windows, the tailing
of plastering, upsetting ot furniture, an.i
racking and cracking of the buildings. Peo
ple bout in and out of doors, were thrown
violently uown, and several were made for a
short time insensible. There is not a bouse
or building, as we understand, lelt m Fair
port, which is now in anywise tenantuidc.
Thursday night was' a terrible ouo for the
people of Fuirport, who were turned into the
street instantly, and exposed to the cold winds
of the night. To add to their terror it was
reported that there was at least a thousand
pounds of glycerine in the manufactory, al
most iu their midst, which might at any time
explode, aud finish the destruction of property
with pet hups greater loss ot life. Some lelt
the place und lied to Painesville for security,
while others gathered in groups in their brok
en homes and tattered houses, wearing the
night away as best they could.
The explosion was Hit in BufTalo, a dis
tance of one hundred and sixty miles. Sodn
alter it occurred, a despatch was sent over
the wires from that city to Cleveland, and
other points on the lake shore, asking it they
had been again visitid by an earthquake. In
Painesville the shock was .very severe, es
pecially in the south part of the town, win re
the clay or hard-pan comes very near the sur
face. In one small house we have heard of.
things were thrown from the shelves, audit
bedstead moved nearly two feet. It is sup
posed that the explosion must have reached
the clay or hard-pan, some thiity feet below
the magazine, with such force that houses
built on that strata, though some mill s dis
tant, were more affected than those on the
sand much nearer.
It is believed that the Postmaster-General
will recommeud in his annual report, the issue
of postal cards for the public use similar to
those now used in Germany and lately intro
.dttced into the postal service of Great lirit
ain.
“These cards have a place for direction,
name and place. They are about two and a
half by three and a hall inches, with ruled
lines, arid a postage- stamp printed on one ot
the corners. They will probably be sold at
two cents and will liud here, u- in I.nrope,
abundance of purchasers. Kept in the pocket
book, a message may be w-itten on them
while on a street corner, in a cjr or carriage,
and they may Ik- dropp'd into the n.-arest
post Imix, or thrown into the mail car, and thus
hundreds of messages will be sent by mail
whiofi are not sent now simply because the
materials for writing arc not at hand or it i>
too much trouble to write a letter, winch u
always to be more or less a formal document.
These hastily scribbled curds have added
largely to the Knglish postal revenue and
proved a public convenience of no mean
character.”
Sidney Smith, in his work on moral philoso
phy, speaks in this wise of what inch lose for
the want of a little brass, as it is termed : “A
great deal of talent is lost to the world for
the want of a little courage. Every day
sends to the grave a number of obscure men
who have only remained in obscurity because
their timidity lias prevented them from
making a first effort, and who, if they could
only have been induced to begin, would in all
probability have gone great lengths in the ca
reer ol fame. The fact is that in order to do
anything in this world worth doing we must
not stand shivering on the bank, thinking ol'
tiie cold and danger, but jump in and scram
ble through as well as we can. It will not do
to be perpetually calculating risks and ad
justing chances.”

According to our exchanges the religious
interest awakened at the Camp-meetings is
extending East and West. The Maehias
Union says a good work is going on in Ma
rion. Edmunds, Whiting, Mast Maehias, Ma
thias and Columbia. Nine young persons
were baptised in Armstrong District, Sunday,
Oct. 2:id, making eighteen in that vicinity,
who have thus proiessed Christ. Olliers are
coming, says the Union. Quite a revival is
in progress at Columbia under the labors of
Rev. B. M. Mitchell. A large number were
baptised last Sunday and more are to go tor
ward soon.'
A most singular accident came to the no
tice of tile Argus Tuesday, on Commercial
St., Portland. A gentleman was hurrying
towards the 1’. S. & 1’. Railroad station, evi
dently to take the afternoon train, and to
regulate his speed, probably, he looked at
his watch, a gold cased one. As he had fin
ished looking, a billet of wood, carelessly
thrown from an upper window in a block,
descended and most thoroughly crushed one
••repeater,” even outside ot New \ork.
Col. Z. A. Smith, editor of the Somerset
Reporter, gave a lecture at the Maine Central
Institute, l’ittslleld, on the evening of the 4th
inst; subject—The Capture of Richmond,
and the Surrender of Lee's Army. The Lew
iston Journal says it was a stirring lecture
and would not fail to he appreciated by any
audience in Maine.
The Lewiston Journal says Rev. Henry
Libbcy of Leeds, p iptized thirteen persons on
Sunday last,—the result ot an interesting re
vival in that place. Among the number were
the father and the brother-in-law of the offic
iating clergymen. Mr Libbcy has been la
boring for some time in that place, and with
maiked success.
The St. .John^bury l uieuotuan say a
laying 1ms been begun on the road from that
place to S wanton, one of the links of the Port
land & Ogden.burgh. The iron is upon the
ground for laying the track from the junction
— just South of the depot—withthc Passump
sic to Fairbanks' village.
We it arn from the Times that Noqua-sot
Lake, about two miles front Bath, on the line
of the Knox & Lincoln Railroad, has been se
cured by the Arctic Ice Co., organized under
a State charter, with a capital of §100,000, for
the purpose, in connection with said railroad,
of cutting and storing ice.
The British bark Trait de Union, Irom Ban
gor tor Port-au-Prince, went ashore on
Monroe's Island, near Owl's Head, on Friday
night.- The steam-tug Ralph Ross, with a
powerful steam-pump and wrecked crew,
from Bangor, went to her assistance, but it is
feared she will be a total loss.
At Columbia Falls, ,L II. C'randon, Lsrp,
lias put up the frame of a double-decked brig
of about ISO tons. Hiram Hunt, F.sq., will
commence a vessel at Robbinston, of about
050 tons this month, to bu launched next
spring._._
A formal opening of the lloulton Branch
Railroad took place Tuesday the 8th. The
