V.-. 's’—'v\‘v‘-'v‘Iv‘4 Phenomena of a Gunpowder Ex- plosiorn. Profes.-tor Olmstead presented lo the Scientific Association, upon the second day of its session, an interesting narra- tion of sonic curio11s phenomena connec- ted withlhe Wilmington gunpowder ex- : plosion of May, 18:35. \Vc copy the following abstract from I the New York Tribune: On the 31st of May, 1855, three wag- ons from Dupont’s Mills were passing through Wilmington, Del., each with 150 barrels of gunpowder, which all exploded, demolishing buildings and de- stroying life. Such wagons were as- customed to pass that route daily for 50 years. - - Theregulatiolis prescribed had fallen into disuse. They had left the mill at distances of half an hour, but had got within 25 feet of each other. Wisl1ing to trace out analogies between this ex- plosion and some phenomena of torna- does, Prof. Olmstead wrote Bishop Lee, whose house was destroyed, and receiv- ed in answer from his son some interes- ting facts. The cause of the- explosion does notappear, but it is known that two of the men were smoking by the side of their teams.‘ Some of the phe- nomena were surprising. A splinter from a Venetian blind was blown thro’ an inch board, making as smooth a hole asif pointed with steel. Metals. were often displaced. The shoes were torn off the horses’ feet, castors from furni- ture, and hinges from doors, the wagon- ‘tire was torn off‘ and straightened, and one piece left on a hill a quarter of a mile off. Windows were destroyed for the dis- tance of more than a mile. Those near the spot were burst in, those further off were all burst out. A piano open near the spot was little injured, one closed further off, was burst open and nearly ruined. The effect on the animal system was to produce a sense of suffocation at first, and afterwards soreness of the throat, or even hemoptytis. Many were carried some feet and dropped erect. A man on horseb_ack was lifted out of the saddle and dropped into it again. But the most wondrous effect was exhibited by three depressions where the wagons had stood. The one under the middle wagon was ten feet by five, and three feet deep.—- It appeared that the earth (Macadami- zed) had not been removed, but con- densed. ’ ' ‘ Professor Olmstcad knew of no ins- tance of greater power, even in the great explosion of Brcscia, where two million pounds of powder exploded, that equal- led this. Iron water pipes were‘ broken four or five feet under ground. In the New Haven tornado of 1839, a piece of bureau was carried half a mile, and found sticking into a barn, liaving; pene- trated through a thick plank. Feathers have been 5 ripped off of fowls, and a woman washing found herself and her tub, with itswater, in the cellar; while .s0111c of the clothes she was washing were found beyond VVest Rock, a dis- tance of two miles. . C’-ultwre of Cranberry Vines.——The Bell variety or egg shape is mostly culti- vated, in New England, and usuly bear good crops as they grow wild-—buL\vl1en are large and abundant, and bear large crops often after two or three years, from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and. fifty bushels per acre——are hardy, and can be cultivated in any part of the United States. . The soil best adapted, is such as will keep moist through the dry season - They -have been raised 011 land high enough to produce corn and potatoes, with a wet substratum under the soil, or a clay and loam. They will not succeed well on dry, sandy, or land liable to bake or become hard in dry weather -—but. they will produce an abundant crop on poor swampy land that will not produce any other valuable crop, or any wet land after being drained. Dry groud should be plowed and harrowed smooth; III a swamp where a plow will not work, the turf or bag may be peeled off or burn: to get the weeds and grass out. They may be set in the fall or spring, as early as the ground will admit, until the middle of May. Moss, tan, or anything to’ retain the moisture would be beneficial around the plant after transplanting; a little sand around the plant in the fall and spring will tend to keep the weeds out. Planted in drills as you plant straw- berry, cabbage aud other plants, one and a half to two feet apart. At two feet apart each way, it will take 10,000 plants to the acre.

ON the 25th of April, in the year 1738, a fine brig named the Triton was pre- paring to leave the port of Havre, in or- der to go fishing for cod on the coast of Newfoundland. Her captain, Gilles Varenue, was a regular rough, hardy searnan, caring little whether the weath- er was fair or foul, and accustomed to navigate his vessel as well through fogs as through sunshine. The Tritou's deck presented a busy scene. All the crew were occupied in getting on board and stowing away their sea stock of wine, brandy, salt, meat, flour, lines, nets, hooks, leads, together with a vast quantity of salt, Amid abundance of noise, hustle, and loud-talk- ing, the long boat made her last ' trip from the shore, and out of her there stepped on ‘the deck, with a timid, trem- bling air, a boy of about twelve years old. He went up to a sailor who had just lighted his pipe. "Sir”—he began, twisting a pretty cap of green velvet be- tween his small hands. The rough sea- man interrupted him with a loud laugh. “ Sir, indeed!” be repeated. “ My 11ame is Malandan. What d’ye want, young chap '3" " Do you want a cabin boy on board?” “I know nothing about it; you must go ask the captain; there he is standing uear'tl1e must, with °the large pipe and the bearskiu coat.” ' The child approaclied the person thus described, and before he could speak, the captain exclaimed : “ What. do you want, you young scamp ?” f “ 'I‘o he :1 cabin boy on board this ves- sel,” replied the boy. courageously. “ Dul you ever go a voyage before T" “ No, but I think I could soon learn my business.” “ Bravo 3 VVl1nt.’s your name '.”’ “ George.” “ I am nu————o1‘pl1an,” replied the child, looking down and blushing. “ So mucli the better !” cried the cap- tain. “ Here, Malandin, take charge of this new cabin boy. Secure the long boat, -.1‘.1d weigh anchor.” A “ Captain, take care of the icebergs !” said an old \Vllll(-‘.-ll€a(.lE(l sailor stumliiig by. “ You are setting out too soon. In my time, we used only to begin buying our salt 111 the middle of May, and now we are only at tl1e‘eud of April.” ' Captain Varenne vouchsafed no reply, but continued [0 puff forth immense vol- umcs of smoke from his pipe, as he trau- quilly watched me noisy‘ process of weighing ‘anchor. At length the sails were sec, and the gallant brig"Ief1. the port, amid the farewell cheers of those on shore, while a few prophetic voices 11,1855. _Sit ye down here next 1119. ‘_f_. _ captain l—1'IeWare of the icel'1ers:s!” On the first day, very little notice was taken of George, so he tliouglit the life of a cabin boy a most. cliafminq 0110; but the next morning the captainmcalled him hastily. and gave some order, which to him was Iiniutelligible; the boy hesi- i,al.e.(l, and his inipaticut coniimmder gave him a kick which sent laim to the other side of the deck. George stood up amid the derisive laughter of the crew, red' and furious, more from sharne than pain; bur. when he began to speak his mouth was rudely stopped by the mate, who threatened him with a good rope’s end. ing if he attempted. to say a word. 51- lent submission was all that remained for the child; but from that time l1oW often would he creep into some retired corner of the deck and weep, and watch the waves, and call softly on the name of his mother. “So you have a n10ll1er'!” said the mate Malandin, who overheard him one day. " Ah, yes, and a father also," replied George; “ and I left them 10 become a sailor. Oh, how miserable I am 3” “ You told the captain that you were an orphan.” "I told a lie, for I was afraidihat if I mentioned my parents I should be sent back to them; and now I am punished for it 3” “ Then, they <lon’I: know where you are, George ?” « “ No. I wanted to be a sailor, and my father would not consent ; so I took advantage of his and my mother's going into the country, and I came on board here, as you know." “ And what makes you dislike being a sailor?” “ The blows and kicks that every one here seems to have a right to give me." “Bah! a n1ere trifle. All that will only make you hardy, boy. The sea is a fine place—-the true home for a man !” " You mean for a fish, Malandiu.” " Well yes, for a fish, for cod—fish. I hope we shall catch plenty this season.” “ Oh, how I always ionged to go cod- fishing!” exclaimed George, “I was quite a baby when I first thought of it.” “ ’Tis rough work, child,” said the sailor, shaking his head; "hard, cold work pursuing the fish for months to- gether through :1 frozen sea and beneath a dark sky. Those who eat. the cod at home little know the sufferings of those who get it for them. Only for a glass of brandy now and then, we should per- ish from cold and exhaustion.” “I wish, Malaudin, that 110w, as you're not busy, you would tell me all about it.” ' *‘ VVell, child, I dou’t1nil1d if I do.—— You must know tliat, first of all, we take strong lines of from twelve to fifteen hundred fathnms -in length, and at the interval of each fathom we fasten a hook, baited with a piece of cod. Then, by means of the light. shallops you see 011 board, we plant the lines every evening all along the coast. Next morning we draw up the lines, haul them on board, and generally find a number of fish hanging from the hooks. Then every one sets to work ; some out off the cod’s heads, others cut the fish open, take out. the entrails, and ‘carefully place the toe and the liver in barrels. From the lat- ter a sort of oil is extracted, which sells at a high price on shore, us a medicine for the sick people. Thank God! we seldom Want any physic on board ship, except an allowance of lemon juice and potatoes, to season our salt junk and bis- cuit. Afterwards, the fish are placed in a barrow and carried to the salter, who spreads them out in the hold, the storm ach uppermost, and salts them throughly with a sort of wooden shovel. As soon as this is over, we clean the deck, and bail. our lmes afresh, to have them ready again for the evening, weather permit ting. And there’s the whole process for you now, boy.” They were in 51°?» of north latitute, and 56°58 west longitude, when the mate finished his recital. That same day-—it was the 29th of May——they met floating icebergs. Suddenly a dreadful shock was felt; a cry of horror burst. from all on board ; the vessel had struck upon an iceberg, and the water poured in through her cleft side. She began to sink rapidly, and a temble scene ensued among the crew. Some ran about \vildly;otl1ers fell on their knees, and prayed aloud ; some of the faint-liearted wept and lamented like children; while a few, with more presence of mind, low ered the long-boat, and asked the captain to get in with them. “ I must be the last to leave my ves- sel !” replied the bold seamun. Meantime the sbip’s deck was nearly on a level with the wnves, and poor George, pale and trembling, kneeling near the mast, exclaimed : " Oh, my mother! my mother! shall I never see you again 9” " All is not lost that is in danger,” said the gruff voice of the captain. " Take a firm hold of my leg, child, and trust to Providence.” George almost mecliauically did as he was tol l. The next. moment a dark wave swept over him, and lie lost all consciousness. VVl1r.-n he revived the ship had completely disappeared, and he found l1imse:lf\vit.l1 the captain floatiiig on two planks lashed together. Their situation was perilous in the extreme; nothing was to be seen around but the dark surf-.1ce of the water, varied by ice- bergs and floating fra-__r,u1ents of the wreck.

P|:1ul.ing the broken our upright, and surmountiug it with his hat and handker- chief, the captain waved it. continually, and shouted as loudly as he could. Af- ter half an hour passed thus in agonizing suspense, the vessel sailed away without its crew perceiving them, and slowly disappeared from their eyes_ At. this dreadful sight, poor George fell at the captain’s feet, and exclaimed: " Oh Y must we, then, stay here to perish wuh cold and hunger!” Without replying, the captain felt in his pocket,’ and taking out a biscuit we’. with salt Water, offered it to the child. George seized it with avidity, and was putting it to his mouth, when, remarking that the captain had none for himself, he said: “ And what will you do, captain?” “ Eat it,” said Varenne, briefly. The boy did not wait to be desired a second time. The next was dreadful. Varenne pre- served 8. moody, despairing silence; only from time to time he moistened with a piece of ice the lips of the poor child, Whose strength was fast failing. “ 0 captain, I am very cold-very weak. 0 my poor mother!" And then came back vividly to his remembrance his little soft white bed, in which his kind old nurse used to fuck him up so snugly every night; his nice supper of white bread and hot n1ilk—-even the piece of dry bread which was given him for supper whenever he behaved badly Oh, what would he give now for even one-half of that piece of bread! Thus passed the long weary night i11 dreadful sufferings and unuvailiug regrets. Al. daybreak, as soon as the fog was suffi- ciently dispersed to allow them to distin- guish objects, they perceived floating past. the ice gs cask of Cl(lel'_ VVith great exertions the captain at length succeeded in securing it; and a hearty draught greatly rcfreslied them both. “Cnptaiin,” said George, *‘ we have forggottcii one thing which may save us." “ \Vl1atistl'1:1r/3” “ To pray to God.” Varenne sighed. “ Yes, c:1pt'.1iu,” c0nt'111uc(lGc01‘gc, as he tried to kneel 011 the slippery ice, “ whenever mammn was in grief she used to pray to God, and He ulrvuys comforted her.

At length they reached the shore, and landed, the captain carrying George in his arms, for the child’s limbs were weak and numbed. The sun rose, and in some degree warmed them; and the captain filled his hat with mussels, which he found among the rocks. George had of- ten eaten of these shell-fish, delicately cooked and sent up to his parenf’s table, but never did l1e think them half so good or savory as now that he was glad to de- vour them raw. Their hunger i11 some measure appeased, a new fear took pos- session of the captain. He wanted to explore the coast, and ascertain what chance they had of escaping; but George was too weak to accompany him, and he dared not leave him alone, for fear of the bears and other wild aninials which in- fest these northern lands. Indeed, in his own \veak and totally unarmed condition, he could make but little resistance were they to attack him. VVl1ile rtlmiiiatiiig over this dilemma, George suddenly gave a cry of joy, and Will] a trembling hand pointed out to his companion an English vessel sailing along the shore.—— \Vl1at joy! The crew perceived them, and three men put off in :1 boat towards the spot where they were. The captaixfs liulntual reserve gave way before the transport caused by this uulooked-for de liverzuicc; be folded George in his arms, and with tears of joy embraced him as if he had been his son. - “Let us kneel down, captain,’ whis- pered the boy, -‘ and thank God for His gcodiiess in saving us."

This accident-,-show. ever, did not impede either his,.lcti‘li!y or his promotion. Twice was.the,-,\mIfl:- en leg shot from under him; and,-banned to congratulate himself that he thuogave work to the carpenter, and not: to the surgeon. » , In 1770, ill health forced himto retire for a time from active service, and he was made port-lieutenant at Mnrseillfla. While there the ‘English frigate Alarm, commanded by Captain Jervi,s-.-§ft;r- wards Lord Sl;.Vincent-—-was drive}; lama tempest. into the bay, and ran ,gn,,_inuni- nent risk of being dashed to piecespgfihe rocks. Pleville, with all the sailolgswljgm he could collect, hastened to the .1:e_scn_e. The night was dark, and the storm...so fearful that the boldest of the .sailo__rs_ re- fused to leave the shore. The,lie1§te_n_I,nt himself, despite of his infirmity, {did-_not hesitate. Fastening a strong rope round his body, and grasping a cable, one,-send of which he had made fast tothe ground, he let himself into the sea. With_....ql- most incredible efforts, he succeededgan reaclllllg the frigate when it was‘ about to perish ; and by his intimate acquaint- ance with the port, was able to pilot it in, in safety. On the next day, .he. silht workmen to repair the injuries which the vessel had sustained, and she ‘was soon fit to return to England. The English Admiral testifiedhis gut. itude by sending Captain Jervisback -to Marseilles with :1 splendid setvice of plate, and :1 complimentary and grateful letter for Pleville. His noble conduction this occasion met afterwards with what he esteemed a much higher recompense. During the war of 1778, his son,- who was serving on board a frigate was to- l«:e11p1-'1so11er. No sooner did the English Adrniralty learn who the young man was, fl1-an they not only ordered him .to be set. at liberty, but permittedhim also no release several of his comrades. The telegraph which still exists on the I-lotel de la Marine, is a proof of. Ple- vil|e’s noble disinterestedness. Appoint- ed in 1797 Minister of the Marine, he was directed to make a tour of inspection of the French coast, and 40,000».f&Incs were allowed for his expenses. He spent but 8,000, and on his returnimmediately sell: the remaining 32,000 back to..the Public T1'eas;‘.ry. The Government, however, refused to receive the sum, and Pleville employed it for the good of-the nanon in erecting a telegraph. . After a glorious, a happy and anseful life, having been made chief officer» of the Legion of Honor, George-Rene .I_-’le- ville-le-Pelley died at the age of.eigh_ty years, on the 2d of October, 1805.’; A simple monument. bearing an -epitaph ’-'-"lnposed by M.
