Washington, Sept 18. —The question of female eligibility to the Presidency is being mooted largely in Washington in connection with Mrs. Belva Lockwood’s nomination for that office by the “Equal Right party.” Mrs. Lockwood asserted in an interview yesterday that there was no constitutional inhibition to the election of a woman President In the Kansas contes last session of Wood against Peters, which involved the eligibility of a State Judge to be elected to Congress in violation of the Kansas State constitution, the Elections Committee took the ground, which was sustained by the House, that no State could add to the qualifications prescribed in thi constitution for a representative in Congress. The point was made by the contestant that while Susan B. Anthony, if elected to Congress, possessed all the qualifications of age, citizenship and inhabitancy required by the constitution, yet, being a woman, she was ineligible under the laws of New York. The Elections Committee took the opposite view, and the House practically deckled in this case that a woman possessing the constitutional qualifications was eligible to a seat in Congress, no State having the right to superadd prerequisites to those prescribed in the second section of article 1 of the Constitution of the United States.

Lykens, Pa., Sept 18. —A terrific boiler explosion took place Tuesday evening at the Lykens Valley Colliery. The explosion occurred a little after five o’clock, and was heard many miles away. The explosion was caused by a defective boiler. Four boilers exploded together, throwing iron and timbers in every direction for several hundred yards, and will necessitate a total suspension of work at the colliery for weeks.

Famous Castles. Many ancient castles, having been adapted to suit the changes and to answer the requirements of improved states of soi iety, are to be found in great completeness and admirable preservation. Some, standing in the melancholy conditions of decay, are moldering in solitude, the green ivy manteling the chasms and weakness of their ruin, and the owl alone breaking the spe'l of their stern silence. Others became the nucleus of towns and cities; what was designed for a defense, became a habitation; and as habitations were multiplied by those who, protected by the strength of the castle, administered to the claims and requirements of necessity or interest, the tout ensemble became a walled town or citadel, of which the original castle constituted the key and fortress. Os some of these cities, the castles continue to be, at the present day, the stronghold. The importance of such places of strength and resource has been signally illustrated in the struggles which held in equal balance the destinies of the British Empire, during the civil embroilments that have vexed that mighty kingdom even in modern times. The famous castle of Edinburgh still commands that magnificent city. It crowns the vast .precipitous rock that rises out of the midst of the Scottish metropolis, on the coniines of the new and the old city, and its elevated bastions and battlements that overhang the cliffs on every side, seem to be fearfully suspended in midair, while its turrets, diminished by their exceeding altitude into mere outlines, appear to touch the skies. The donjon In* keep of this fortress was deemed of strength sufficient to guarantee the security and preservation of the ancient regalia of Scotland, of which it became "the depository about the time of the union of the crowns of England and Scotland, in the person of James I. of the United Kingdom. By whom these precious insign a of royalty were there deposited is not known; but there, concealed in an iron-bound oak chest, throughout all the contests and vicissitudes that have marked that realm since the beginning of the seventeenth century, they lay in undisturbed obscurity, until discovered and restored to light and admiration by the reverent hands of Sir VVtiter Scott. The broad and general features of human scociety are everywhere marked by strange resemblances. The descendants of Japhet exhibit, under various phases, the passional and moral lineaments which bespeak them of kith and kin to the descendants of Shem. Similar circumstances elicit the tokens of sympathies of generic brotherhood. This is illustrated by the exponents of the martial and military spirit which distinguished the contentions of the rivalry or ambition that at some time engaged the irascible races of Europe and Asia. In the early states of both those quarters of the world the sp’rit of war actuated tho policies of despot'sm, and the ruins and relics that remain to the present age, the wild and stern magnitieenceof the battlements that crest the proud banks of the Rhine, and the stupendous citadels that guard the inclement fortresses of Afghanistan, bespeak a common race and a common condition, however they may differ in their chronological histories. But the conditions of people are changing and progressive, and the time of castle-building lias long gone by. The development and prevalence of the social elements have fused sections into society, and consolidated clans into community. The law-defying towers of petty potentates or contentious baronies have been converted to the pacific uses of harmonious and national governments. — Golden Days. Electrical Oddities. The big Roosevelt organs in the galery are run by Edison motors, which are supplied with electricity from a dynamo off the north end of the structure. The current of fluid makes the armature revolve, to the end of which is fastened a wheel, lt> which the belt of the organ pump is adjusted. The Daft motor is different. It has a worm armature, that is, it is threaded like a screw. This prevents it working too rapidly. Then the end turns upon a bur-wheel, which, in turn, further reduces the rapidity of the revolution and contributes less motion to the wheel of the machinery motor. It is very ingenious. The press which prints the Electrical World is run by one of these motors. Few motors have arrangements for regulating speed. A young man named Moore has a curious little contrivance for accomplishing this result. Wanamaker has a tailor shop exhibit, the twenty machines of which are run by motors. Upon the tly-leaf of each machine lies a little iron box about six inches square, with a wire running into it. It has no motion and looks useless but from its lead wires which drive the machine at a high rate of speed. It is the Cleveland motor. Then, besides, a shoe-sewing machine is also ran by one of the little iron boxes. Over in the exhibit of the United "States Company great iron drills and planes are run by motors. The strangest use to which the electric motor has been applied is tooth pulling. A dentist in Brooklyn lias arranged a complete machine’, which will lessen human suffering. A pair of forceps protrude from a nickel tube, which is connected with a wire. The forceps are applied to the aching ivory; then the operator touches a spring, a spiral arrangement within the tube winds up in a wink, draws down the forceps like a flash, and in an instant the tooth is jerked from the jaw and cast upon the floor. This Brooklyn dentist has pulled as many as seven teeth in five seconds. He fixed an electrical forceps to each grinder to be removed. Then he touched the springs rapioly in succession, and the patient’s mouth was as toothless as a babe’s. One use of the motors is highly appreciated at the exposition. That is when they turn fans. The building was very warm on Saturday. Upon the Edison parlor table stood an ornamented fab, which revolved between 4,000 and £.OOO times a minute and created a most refreshing breeze. — Philadelphia Press.

One rainy night, just as the workmen were hurrying home to supper, an old woman, carrying a large bundle of quilts, climbed onto a yellow South Boston car near the corner of Dover street and Shawmut avenue, taking a seat on the inside, and leaving her load on the front platform. In a few moments the conductor came in, took her ticket, and went forward to where two men were standing talking with the driver. One of them passed out two checks, which the conductor punched, and then said: “I want you to pay for this bundle.” “I shall not pay for it,” asserted one of the men. “I never have paid anything for it, and shan’t now,” replied the other, looking at his companion in a mysterious manner. “If you don’t pay a fare on that I shall throw it off.” “Off with.it if yon think it your best way,” came the reply, at which the conductor got mad and hurled it into the mild.

English and Fi eneh Girls.

Asa rule, the young English girls' that one meets in society have as little to say as have the French society damsels, though they are by no means kept under such severe restraint. It hast been suggested that the French girle, say nothing because they are not j>nr-. mitted to speak, while the English girlsl say nothing because they have nothingi to say. They are very sweet, simple and modest, but they lack sparkle ana: entrain most wofully. English girls.; too, are in general far less brilliantly' educated than are their American contemporaries. There is very little serious devotion to literature or accomplihments, such as one sees in the mom literary circles of America, among the younger members of society. The amateur singers, for instance, are too diro and dreadful to be even named in the same breath with the usual run of oiir girl-musicians. In many instances, voice, time, and tune are altogether lacking and yet the vocalist will placidly warble straight through the innumerable verses of a ballad, or attack a difficult Italian aria with the serene conviction that the whole affair is passing off admirably. How is she to know that it is not?—there is nobody among her hearers to enlighten her. On the other hand, they have much taste in fancy work, and English homes are prettily decorated with satin cushions, mantelpiece draperies, etc., painted by hand iu water-colors or with tine and delicate embroideries, the handiwork of the ladies of the family. But aa to either intellectual or artistie employments, they are far less addicted to them than our own\ voung girls. They ride well and are devoted to lawn-tennis and other out-door games, and in the maim are a healthy, nappy race, physically' niperb, but lacking mental brilliancy and charm. It is perhaps for this reason that the married state in England differs so widely from the same institution in America. Here it is a monarchy, while with us it is a republic. The English husband is an autocrat, aud admits of no discussion respecting his decrees. The household and its movements are regulated to suit his whims and convictions, and his wife and daughters must shape their actions accordingly. But them is plenty of warm mutual love manifested between husbands and wives in England, and so matrimony here far more resembles the same institution with us than does the wedded state in France. —London Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph. The Candidate’s Mistake. “Madam, may I kiss these beautiful children?” inquired the candidate, as he leaned over the front gate. “Certainly, sir: there is no possible objection.” “They are lovely darlings,’,’ said he, after he had finished the eleventh. “I have seldom seen more beautiful babes. Are they all yours, marm?” The lady blushed deeply. “Os course they are.” he continued —“the sweet little treasures! From whom else, marm, could they have inherited these limpid eyes, these rosy cheeks, these profuse curls, these oornely figures and these musical voices!” The lady continued blushing. “By the way, marm,” said ne, “may I bottmr you to tell your estimable husband tnat a candidate for called upon him this evening?” “Alas! good sir.” quoth the lidy, “I have no husband!” “But these children, madam —you surely are not a widow?” “I feared you were mistaken, sir, when you first came up. These are not 'my children. This is an orphan asylum. —Albany Journal.

Rome in the Last Century. • It was a labyrinth of winding streets, unlighted, unnamed, and unnumbered. Every trade kept to its own special locality, and, in lack of shop fronts, advertised its wares by painted signs and emblems. Cattle were herdea in the Coliseum and Forum, and the Arch of Constantine was half buried in the earth. Justice was administered with circumstances of barbaric ferocity. It was a common sight to see unlucky coachmen publicly tortured in the Corso for no worse guilt than that of driving through the streets during the hours reserved for carnival frolics; and the erection of the gallows on the Piazza deFPopolo, the first Saturday in carnival, was in fact the signal of the opeuing of the season for public sports. And, the condemned criminals dispatched, the hangman’s assistants would presently join the gav crowd in the Corso disguised as clowns and pantaloons. Down to the first year of the present century malefactors were Quartered and burned on the Compo ei Fiori, and for many years later the pillory and the wooden horse remained familiar objects in other parts of Rome, although both were temporarily abolished during the Napoleonic rule.—■ The National Review. , m . m Buffalo Skeletons. 1 ! Thousands of skeletons are gathered on the Western plains, more especially in the valley of the Arkansas, and sent East to phosphate manufacturers. One dealer in Philadelphia has received 200 ear load3 of these bones during the present summer. Delivered at the factories the frames are worth $25 a ton, the freight charges per ton ranging from $8 to 10. Horns alone bring S3O a ton, and are used by makers of umbrellas and fans. From a portion of the head glue is obtained, and the shoulder blades and neck bones are worked up into the popular “buffalo"horn” buttons.
