At la.i-past 11 o'clock while odj of the road steamers usdin the traction of! en vy boilers was beh^mployed oppo se - Jvmgston dock, Glasgow, followed as ivual by a crowdof mien ardboys, tho boHer Exploded with a kuvM crash. Three boys were -ailed on tie spot, and six persons adults, were conveyed to the Ro<*il mimnaiy, four being .-seriously inWed Sevi^otbofs received injures more or' reaiJ!fiT ere; kiit were «>moved to their komes. a piece of the boiler, • ■ ":i-.l\;. ; p 'j «*«• Of ' cwt. was thrown .- :iv*i.;oiejiStance through the roof of 8 coffee mop?* The person in charge of the shop i-vas v good deal scalded, but an infant fciidng on the counter in front ot' her escaped uninjured. Tho property on the couth side of the thoroughfare was a goc;I deal cbmagdd, as well as several vehicles which, were passing. None of the drivers, however, were injured.

Further .details of tiie explosion stated that the engine, which belonged to Massrs Yuiil and Co,, engineers, Kutherglen-road, was on its way to the works of Messrs. I andolph, Elder, and Co., font" some cylinders, it had reached about half-way along the Kingston-road, near to the junction of Morrison-street and Paisley road, when it was found that steam was defective. Water from an attached tank was then put into the boiler, and after the lapse of a quarter of an hour the three men in charge were about to start the engine when an explosion occurred, the boiler being thrown fully 30 feet over a 16-feet wall on to the top of Gilbert Tait's eating-house, and through the roof, destroying the furniture and injuring Mrs. Tait's sister, while all others escaped uninjured. One piece of iron was thrown over the Quayside into the Kingston-dock, while people were lying killed and wounded in all directions —a number of them being children, who had been attracted by the novelty of the sight of an engine on the street. Three of the boys were instantly Icillei, and their bodies were taken to the Southern police-office where they await identification. Medical attendance was soon on the spot, and in a very short time the injured were cared for and removed, the more serious cases to the infimary and the others to their own homes, where their wounds were dressed. Four of those taken to the infirmary died in the course of Sunday, and two more have since suc cumbed. The names of those Hied were John Muirhead, 9 years ; Andrew Collins, 15; Thomas Bowie, 11; Len nox, 17; William Hamilton, 6; John Wallace, 12; Robert Ingram, 10 ; William Young, 16; and Fanny Ingram, 6. An inspection is to be made oi the exploded boiler by Messrs. More and Clinskill, and though every exertion has been made to get workmen to lift the ! boiler from its present position, the eforts of the police have as yet been unsuccess ful. Nothing definite can be sail as to the cause of the accident until this inspection shall have been concludd. — Lloyds.

Curious stories are related of the blinders HQade by Oxford under-graduates h the Scripture examination which they had t> pass before taking their degrees. It is told bf one that when asked who was the first ting of Israel, he was so fortunate as to stumbli upon the name of Saul. He saw that he lad hit the mark, and wishing to show the exaniners how intimate his knowledge of the Scrpture "was, he added confidently, "Saul—also called Paul," Another was called upon to rrention " the two instances recorded in ScripUre of the lower animals speaking." The inder graduate thought for a moment, and icplied, "Balaam's ass." " This is one, sir. What is the other?" Under-graduate paved in earnest thought. At last a gleam of r-collec tion lit up his face as he replied :; " The whale! The whale said unto Jonah, 'Almost thou persuadeßt me to be a Christian '"
