C. A. MILLER, P. M. Miscellaneous Selections. The Late Frightful Explosion "What is Nitro-Glycebixe ? The fluid known as liitro-jjlycerine is the same that exploded in Greenwich street, New York, last November, wounding several persons and blowing out the front of the Wyoming Hotel ; and also another in San Francisco, lately, causing the death of eight or more persons, and damage of property to the value of $200,000. Glycerine is the sweet prin ciple of oil, and is extensively used for the purpose of toilet ; but it has now received an application of rather an un expected nature. In 1847 a pupil of 3L. 1 elouse s, AL. obrero, discovered that glycerine, when treated with nitric acid, was converted into a higly explo sive substance, which he called nitro glycerine. It is oily, heavier than wa ter, soluble in alcohol or ether, and acts so powerfully on the nervous sys tem that a single drop placed on the tip of the tongue will cause a violent head ache, which will last for several hours. The liquid seems to have been almost forgotten by chemists, and it is only now that M. Nable, a Swedish engineer, has succeeded in applying it to a very important branch of his art namely, blasting. From a paper addressed by him to the Academy of Science, we hear that the chief advantage which this substance, composed of one part of Ulycernie unci three parts ot nitric acid, possesses, is that it requires a much smaller hole or chamber than gunpow der does, the strength of the latter be ing scarcely one-tenth of the former. Hence, the miner's work, which, accord ing to the hardness of the rock, repre sents five to twenty times the power of the gunpowder used, is so short that the cost of blasting is often reduced by fifty per cent. The process is very easy. If the chamber of the mine pre sents fissures, it must be lined with clay to make it water-tight ; this being done, the nitro-glycerine is poured in the water after it, which, being the light er liquid remained at the top. A slow match with a well charged percussion cap at oue end then is introduced into the nitro-glycerine. The mine may be sprung by lighting the match, there being no need of tamping. On the 7th of June last, three experiments were made with this new compound in the open part of the tin mines of Altenburg in Saxony. In one of theses a chamber thirty-four millimeters in diameter was made perpendicularly in a dolmitic rock, sixty feet in length, and at a distance of fourteen feet from its extremity, which was vertical. At a debt hot" eight feet a vault tilled with clay was found, in con sequence of which the bottom of the hole was tamped, having a depth of seven feet. One litre and a half of iiitro-2.lv- cerine was then poured in ; it occupied five feet ; a match and a stopper were then applied, as stated and the mine sprung. The effect, was so enormous as to fissure fifty feet in length, and an other twenty feet. The blasting oil, or nitro-glycerine of Mr. Noble, is a chemical compound of six equivalents of carbon, five equiva lents of hydrogen, three equivalents of oxygen, and three of nitric acid, express ed scientifically by the formula C9 115 03 (N 05)3, Particularly it is composition of seventy-five per cent, of nitric acid and twenty-five per cent, of glycerine oil. A scientific calculation of the volume of gases, developed by the combustion of this compound and the combustion of good gunpowder, proves that nitro glycerine, compared with gunpowder, possesses thirteen times its power when volumes are compared, and eight times its power for equal weight. Therefore, where eight pounds of gunpowder are wanted, one pound of nitro-glycerine will be sufficient to produce the same eHect. "What "Writixgs Require A Stamp. TVe publish the following for the ben efit of our readers. There are few of us who have not or will have cause to stamp instruments of writing of some kind. 1st. Instruments of writing dated be fore October 1, 18C2, do not require stamp. 2d. Those dated between October 1, 1862, and August 1, 1864, may be stamped either before or after use by the court, register or recorder. 3d. Those dated since August 1, 1864, and not twelve months old, may be stamped before a United States Collec tor without payment of the penalty of 50. 4th. Those dated after August 1, 1804, and more than twelve months old, can be stamped upon the payment of the penalty of $50. An exchange very amusingly says that the most extraordinary instance of patience on record, in modern times, is that of a judge, who listened silently for two days, while a couple of wordy attorneys contended about the construc tion of an act of the Legislature, and then ended the controversy by quietly remarking, " Gentlemen, the law is re pealed." "What a queer fellow the Frenchman must have been who, for twenty years, loved a lady, aud never missed passing his evenings at her house. She became a widow. "I wish you joy," cried his friend ; "you may now marry the wo man you have so long adored." Alas," said the poor Frenchman, profoundly dejected: "and if so where shall I spend my evenings ?" The artificial propagation of fish is getting to be quite a business in Maine, and is likely to be carried on still more extensively than now. The State Convention.

Revenue Stamps may be used indiscriminately upon any of the matters or things enumerated in schedule B, except proprietary and playing card 6tamps, for which a special use has been provided. Postage stamps cannot be used in payment oi the duty chargeable on instruments. It is the duty of the maker of an instrument to affix and cancel the stamp thereon. If he neglects to do so, the party for whom it is made, may stamp it before it is used ; and if used after the 30th of J uly, 1804, and nsed without a stamp, it cannot afterwards be effectually stamped. Any failure upon the part of the maker of an instru ment to appropriately stamp it, renders him lia ble to a penalty of two hundred dollars. Suits are commenced in many States by other process than writ, viz : summons, warrants, pub lication, petition, &c, in which case these, as the original proeess, severally require stamps. Writs of scira facias are subject to stamp duty as original processes. The jurat of an affidavit, taken before a Justice of the Peace, Notary Public, or other oflicei duly authorized to take affidavits, is held to be a cer tificate, and is subject to a stamp duty of five cents, except when taken in suits of legal proceed ings. Certificates of loan in which there shall appear any printed or written evidence of an amount ot money to be paid on demand or at any time de signated, are subject to stamp duty as Promisory Notes. The assignment of a mortgage is subject to the same duty as that imposed upon the original in strument; that is to say for every sum of five hundred dollars, or any fractional part thereof, of the amount secured by the mortgage, at time of its assignment there must be affixed a stamp or 6tamps, denoting a duty of five cents. When two or more persons join in the execution of fin instrument, the stamps to which this instru ment is liable under the law, may be affixed and cancelled by one of the parties. In conveyances of real estate, the law provides that the stamp affixed must answer to the value of the estate ou interest conveyed. No stamp is required on any warrant of attor ney accompanying a bond or note, when such bond or note has affixed thereto the stamp oi stamps denoting the duty required, and whenever any bond or note is secured by mortgage, but one stamp duty is required on such papers, such stamp duty being the highest rates required for such instruments, or either of them. In such a case a note or memorandum of the value or de nomination of the stamp affixed should be made upon the margin or in the acknowledgement of the instrument which is not stamped.

THE KIDNEYS ARE "TWO IN NUMBER,, situated at the upper part of the loin, sur rounded by fat aud consisting of three parts, viz: The Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior. The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a conductor also, terminating in a single tube and called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various coverings or tissues, divided into parts, viz : the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to , urinate without the ability, others urinate without the ability to retaiu. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections we must bring Into action the muscles, which are engaged in their various functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The reader must also be made aware, that how ever slight may be the attack, it is 6ure to affect his bodily health and mental powers ; as our flesh aud blood are supported from these sources. GOUT, OR RHEUMATISM. Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above diseases. They occnr in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions. THE GRAVEL. The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treatment of the kidneys. These organs being weak, the water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain ; it becomes feverish and. sediment forms. It is from this deposit that the stone is formed and gravel ensues. DROPSY Is a collection of water in some parts of the body, and bears different names, according to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused over the body, it. is called Anasarca; when of the abdomen, Ascites ; when of the chest, Hydrothorax. TREATMENT. Hclmbold's highly concentrated compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the best reme dies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys, gravil dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and gouty affct . tions. Under this head we have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water, scanty se cretion or small and frequent discharges of water, Strangury or stopping of water, ifematuria or bloody urine, Gout and Rheumatism of the kid neys, without any change in quantity, but increase of color or dark water. It was always highly recommended, by the late Dr. Physick, in these affections. This medicine increases the power of digestion and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which the watery or calcareous depositions and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain aud inflammation, are reduced, and is taken by MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. Directions for use and diet accompany. Philadelphia, Pa., February 25, 1857. H. T. Helmeold, Druggist, Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years, with gravel', bladder, and kidney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treat ment of the most eminent physieiaus, experienc ing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted with my family physician in regard .to using your Extract Buchu. I did this because I had used all kinds of ad vcrtised remedies, and had found thein worthless, and some quite injurious : in fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no reme dies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs, and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my physician as an excellent combination, and, with his advice, after an examination of the article, and consulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced its use about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room. From the first bottle I was aston ished and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing you a full statement of my case at that time, but thought my improve ment might only be temporary, and therefore con cluded to defer and see if it would effect a perf ect cure, knowing then it would be of greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effected after using the remedy for five months. I have not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of tho system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its use in such affections. M.
