A Union Torpedo Explodes In a Boy's Mouth. Quite a painful and rather singni lar- accident occurred Wednesday afternoon to a four-year-old' bcy, son of Mr. Ratrick Martin, employed at the gas-works. Tho older brother of the boy, in passing up Walter street, picked up what he supposed to be a marble, painted.blue. lie put it in his pocket .and on reaching lionie gave it to his lit tl brother to play with. .The latter, childlike, put it in his mouth and l' it, when a loud explosion ensued, V. ;Martin,, hearing wbat she supp9mo 90 b'o the report of a pitol or gun, Mprr 6d into the room, finding the 'bild 'stretched upon the floor, where he had been thrown by the force of the explosion, blood streaming from his touth. Dr. Searce was hastily called 10, and found the child to be quite seriously injured, the inner surface of the right check being blown* away, and the lip, and mouth shookingy lacerated. It was thought at first that one of the jaw-bones was broken, but this was discovered not to be the case, the child escaping with the mangling above mentioned. Thae supposed marble proved to have been What is known as a "Union torpedo,"' a now and very dangerous invention, designed for use ou holidays, Fourths of.

Thi. is from a Repub. lian Journalt Earth Closets. CaTefully prepared statistics put the number of deaths at 30,000 an. fually resulting from cholera, dysen tery, and typhoid fever, allured chief ly by open privies [open sewers and water closets are worse.] The Jour nl of Applied Chemestry says of thim fact: "It is asking too much of an intel ligent community that it should toler. ate such nuisances much longer, and we reiterate what we have said be fure, that nothing but ignor'anoo btuads in thQ way of the universal in troduction of the dry-earth system. We last year gave the result of our experience with the earth closet., and this year can add the accumulation of another summer's trial. Wo pre. pared three barrels of sifted and semi dried earth for our supply for a fami ly of eight persons, and this material, with a barrel of hard-coal ashes, mak. ing four barrels in all, was found to be suffiient for four months. The greater part of it passod through the closet five times, and when stored away in the barn this autumn was not so disagreeable in odor as many sam ples of guano." The same paper argues that as soon as earth closets become generally known and introduced, and the value of the material becomes known, it stands to reason that companies will be organized who will furnish all the dry earth and empty the scuttles without any charge to the family,and eventually they will pay for the privi lege. This is certainly an important subject, whether it is regarded in a sanitary or pocuniary point of view, and especially so fur large cities. How Congress Treats the Negroes.
