That little coin, in size an appearance, so closely resembles the dime that one is often mistaken for the other in "making change." It isn't a popular coin, anyhow, and can be readily spared. Tiik Baltimore Methodist preachers dciirunce the President for presenting a copy of the constitution to the Pope. What more appropriate present could he have made Pope Leo? It is hoped he will immediately go to ork and study up the constitution. It may make the old gentleman a Democrat. Who knows? Jambs Johnson, of Atlanta, recently sued liradstreel's Mercantile Agency for defamation of character in publishing him to the trade.

A mono the cadets of the United States military academy at West Point who have been reported deficient in study and by direction of the secretary of war have been discharsed from the service of the United States, we notice the name of Elmer Reisinger, of York, the cadet from this congressional district. This will necessitate the appointment by Congressman Maiah of another cadet as successor to Mr Reisinger. the Massachusetts House on Thursday the Constitutional Prohibition Resolution was passed, in concurrence with the Senate, by a vote of 1(50 to 70, with OLe pair, being six more thai) the necessary two-thirds.

CtKSERAL Lonc.stkekt writes to the Atlanta Cvnxtitution to deny the rumor that he is "helpless from wounds ami sadly straitened in circumstances."

National Chairman Dickie will be invited to hold three conferences in the State. When a child begins to read it becomes delighted with a newspaper because it reads of names and things which are familiar and it will progress accordingly. A newspaper in one year is equal to a quarter's schooling.

Every father must con. eider that information is connected with advancement. The mother of a family being one of its heads and having a more immediate charge of the children, should herself be instructed. A mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life and is braced for emergency. Children amused by reading aud study are more considerate and more easily managed.

The Philadelphia clergymen feel particularly sore- over the working of the marriage law of this State which requires a license. They claim that it has largely diverted the marrying business over the Delaware to Camden in New Jersey. This seems to be true, for there were celebrated in Camden during last year 4,918 marriages, or more than were celc r- n- r-r. A t'arisTipi Ttlch Explain. That Frtplax- lag nuenion, iina.

A great many fairly intelligent people do not even yet understand what is meant by a t'trlll. Here is a paragraph which briefly presents both sides, and if clear ly Understood will enable you to understand the question which will agitate the country and be the chief factor in the next presidential contest: "The tariff on imports and will continue to lie, a mooted question with political economists. The word "tariff" owes its origiu to the tax levied by the pirates of Taritr, in Morocco, on all merchandise entering the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar. Whether the loss ultimately fell upon the owners or buyers of the goods was then debated vigorously. The like question is as eagerly debated now in regard to our tariff whether it be prohibitive, protective, or for revenue only.

Who really pays the tax, the foreign seller or the domestic consumer? Foreign manufacturers, it is assumed, can produce goods, at say 40 per cent lower than Americans. This fact, if there were no tariff, would give them command of the domestic market. Therefore their exports to this country are taxed, say 40 per and American manufacturers are enabled to maintain a profltabls existence. But.the opponents of the protective tariff say, this simply means that the people are obliged to pay 40 per cent, more to domestic manufacturers for their goods than they could buy them for of foreigners. The reply is that this is made up by Increased prices for domestic products in the home markets.

The rejoinder again is that what is gained in the home is lost in the foreign market, and the import tax, after all, is paid by consumers. As to the Internal Revenue, there is no question that this is drawn from taxes paid by the people, and that on articles for the most part that the whole country could very happily do without. It If SUrrbf. Nineteen-year-old Jacob IJollenberger, of Reading, is slowly starving from a peculiar cause. Less than two years ago he was married to a worthy young woman of that city.

He went to Phlladelphla.where he obtained work in a stove foundry. While engaged in carrying a ladle Ailed with molten iron some one dropped a piece of cold iron in the fluid. An explosion followed. Hollenberger was in such a position that a quantity of red hot iron entered his mouth and slid down his throat aud there it now remains in a fixed position, near the entrance to the stomach. He is unable to eat any food.

He has tieen kept alive by means of the injections into the intestines of liquid food, but is slowly and surely starving to death. When in good health he weighed 140 pounds. He has now been reduced to six. ly-tive pounds and is literally nothing but skin and bones. His appeals for food are heartrending, but he is unable to get anything down his throat beyond a certain point.

His bride of a few weeks is faithfully atteuding to his wants. T32 nets AH Sorts of Iatarustinj Farajrapii. Grant Martin, aged 15, and Grace Silvers, aged 13, were married Thursday at Fairmount, 111., with the consent of their parents. They are the youngest parties that ever contracted marriage in that comity, and probably the youngest in the State. A soap mine has been discovered near Pine Ridge, Wyoming.

At all events, if it soap it's something that resembles it very closely, being yellow in color, and capable of making a good lather aud removing grease from hands and clothing. The supply seems to be unlimited. John King, colored was lodged ill jail on Thursday, at Nevada, charged with the murder of his 7-months-old child. King whipped the baby with a leather strap and switch before retiring Wednesday night. When the parents awoke in the morning the child was dead.

The body showed marks of violence. Clarissa Jackson, a colored woman, of Hancock county, Ohio, has become a grandmother at the age of twenty-five. She was married when only eleven years old, and while in her twelfth year became the mother of a daughter, who, in her turn was married at twelve, and became a mother at thirteen. The child just born is a girl. The Rev.

Thomas L. Johnson, an African missionary, recently addressed a large and rather distinguished audience in the big dining room of a Chicago restaurant. where several years ago be was bead waiter. He spoke on invitation of his former employer, and made an effective plea for aid in the work of sending colored mis-ionaries to Africa. George Green, colored, aged 19 years.

married, and a father, graduated from the Akron. (O.) High School, Friday, with the highest honors his class. His or. ation was able and eloquent, and was re ceived with great applause. For two years he and bis wife have worked day and night to earn money to enable him to com plete his course.

His parents live in Phil-adelphia. Miss Benton of Geneva, eloped with a Chicago drummer, and was pursued by her father and brother and a detective, who found them in a private house in Omaha. The brother drew a revolver and with difficulty was prevented from shooting the drummer, who, in turn, drew a marriage certificate and waved it in the face of the father. When the old man saw it he said that it was all right, and he took his daughter and son-in-law home with him. City Marshal Butler and wife, of Brown-wood, Texas, were kept up nearly all of Tuesday night by a sick child.

About 3 a. m. both fell asleep, with the baby lying between them. When they awoke the baby was gone. A search discovered it dead, in a cistern.

No servants were employed and the only theory held is that one of the parents drowned the child in a fit of somnambulism. Whoever did the terrible act carried the child through the house, opening and closing two doors and after putting it in the cistern replaced the cistern cover and set the water bucket on top of it. A citizen of Piscafaqnis, had a lot of Plymouth Rock fowls of which he was very proud. They were allowed to soun der the barn in warm weather, through a small hole in the wall. There came a cold snap, and their owner thought that they ought to stay in their house; so be stopped up the bole.

A few days afterward his wife said: "I wonder where all the chickens are? There isn't one in the hen bouse." The citizen uttered a strong word and ran to ttie barn. Under it lay the dead and frozen bodies of his pets. He had fastened them out of the ben-house instead of La it. Notable Events Among the During- February. Prom the Providence Aarul Mercury is evening star, and presents an appearance beautiful enough to repay the observer with the naked eye.

He reaches his greatest eastern elongation, or greatest distance from the sun, on the 17th. He is easily visible to those who know where to look for him when at elongation, and for a week before and after. He sets on the 17th an hour and a half after the sun, and may be found at that time, if it lie a clear, cloudless evening, by careful observers under the following conditions: Note in the horizon the suusct points, and three-quarters of an hour after sunset Mercury will be visible about 8 degrees farther north. An opera-glass will be of great aid in the observation. Before the 17th be will be farther south and nearer the sun.

set point. After the 17th he be farth er from the sunset point. Saturn is evening star. He is in admirable position for observation during the whole month, being far enough above the eastern horizon to be easily recognized as soon as it is dark enough for the stars to come out. lie att ill forms a triangle with the twin stars Castor and Pollux on the northwest, and Procyon on the southwest.

As his motion is now retrograde or backward, he is slowly approachiug these stars, and will continue to do so until the last of March. Many interesting stars are found in the portion of the sky where Saturn now wends his wandering course. Besides the equilateral triangle made up of Procyon, Sirius and Betelrue shine brilliantly to the southwest; the nebulous cluster Praesepe lies east of the planet, vlsiblo to the naked eye on clear nights, and resolves into star with the aid of an opera glass; and later in the evening, the constellation Leo comes up further east, with lis leading brilliant Regulus, and its starry Sickle piercing the sky-depths. Those who have access to telescope should not fail to obtain a view of this planet of surpassing loveliness, with hie retinue of rings and moons. Neptune is evening star.

II la In quadrature with the sun, on the eastern side, on the ICth, at 7 o'clock in the morning. He may be found about 6 degrees south of the Pleiades with a good telescope, and Is an interesting object, when the instrument brings him to view, as a tiny disk of a delicate blue color. Jupiter is morning star. Observers who have followed bis shining course during January will not need to be told how superb has been bis appearance in the morning sky, as he anticipated the dawn, his stay above the horizon constantly lengthening as be moved westward from the sun. He is now far away from his fair rival, Venus, though the two planets still form a lovely picture in the east before the approaching sun puts out their lesser light, tin the 20th Jupiter rises more than four houis earlier than Venus.

On the 24th he is in quadrature with the sun, on his western side. As he then rises, about midnight, he will be a conspicuous object in the sky from that time till near sunrise. Observers of the starlit sky after midnight will tiehold a starry curve of planets and stars marking out the ecliptic or sun's path In the heavens. The curve or arc, tbouch somewhat irregular, is made of three plan, eta and three first magnitude stars in the following order: Hegulus, Uranus, Spies. Mars, Jupiter aud Antares.

Venus migli be added to the list, but she is now so near the sun that when she is far enough above the horizon to be conveniently visible, the other stars, with the exception of Jupiter, ar-; lost in the niorniug dawn. Vi nus is morning star. She is still the brightest, faircut and largest star that shines in the heavens, though her luster has grown perceptibly dim. She is so far away from us that her diameter is only one-fourth as large as it was at inferior conjunction, but to partially make up for it, a much larger portion of her illuruinetl disc is turned towards us. She presents gibbous phase in the telescope like that of the moon near the full.

The January morning dawns have been surpassingly lieautiful, crowned with the presence of Venus and Jupiter, shining brightly when the other stars have disappeared, and remaining easily visible until within half an hour of sunrise. The February morn'iDgs will also repay the observer for the effort required to study the starry picture that is painted on the dark azure of the skies. Mars is morning star. He is a conspicu ous object, with his ruddy hue and increas ing brightness, while his near companion ship with Spica adds additional interest to his appearance. It is one of the well- known stars, and shines with a blue light.

Mars, bis ruddy tint in striking contrast. will rise about eight minutes later, a few degrees to the northeast of bis companion. As the month advances star and planet rise earlier each night, but still keep nearly the same position in regard to each other. Uranus is morning star, and with Mars and Spica form a nearly equilateral triangle at the beginning of the month. The position of the planets in regard to each other will be changed at the end of the month, for Mars is moving southeast and Uranus northwest.

Planets and stars will then form a triangle, but a very irregular one. The February moon fulls on the 27th She is in conjunction with Uranus on the 2d, with Mars on the 3d, with Jupiter on the 5th, and at her nearest point to Venus on the 8th. Though the fair planet and waning moon are not visible at the time of conjunction, they will make a charm ing picture in the southeastern sky on the morning of the 9th. The moon then rises at 5h. 10m.

A. and Venus shows her fair face above the horizon at 4b. 45 m. A. two hours before the sun appears and Spoils the spectacle.

The moon is in conjunction with Saturn on the 24th, and the moon near the full, and the bright evening star in near neighborhood will be fair to see. The moon, having completed the circuit of the planet, swings her ponderous sphere, for the second time in the month, near Uranus, on the 29th. The sun, in its movement north at the end of February, will have increased the length of the rays by 2u. 7m. over the minimum in December.

A partial eclipse of the sun will occur on the 11th. which is Invisible in the United States. February does not present a stirring record of planetary incidents on its record, but it holds in its gift an additional day, and thus gives the name of leap year to the year 1888. The February starlit sky will be charm, ing. Saturn will shine all night long.

Mercury will he plainly visible in the evening twilight on the middle of the month. Mars and Uranus will appear before midnight, and Jupiter and Venus will divide the honors of the dawn. The heavens will be brilliant with a superb array of stars, the brightest that look down from the stars depths. I PBVJD Absolutely Pure- Thin ioirir iii'Tfr rarle. A marvel parity trriikftli mi.

LUNA'S FAIR FACE OBSCURED.

The Eclipse Witnessed by Hundred of our Citizens. Although the atmosphere wasxceeding- ly frosty on last Saturday evening, great crowds of eople flocked iiikid the streets to witness the eclipse of the moon. The eclipse was very satisfactory from a scientific point of view. The sun set at 5.13 p. and the moon rose at the same moment.

When it came up above the shadow. it was almost entirely in shadow. Of course, The Chbo.mcle readers understand that as the earth revolves around the sun. and the moon around the earth, every time the moon gets directly between the earth and the sun there is a solar eclipse. Every time the moon gets on the opposite of the earth from the sun, and directly in line, there is a lunar eclipse.

There are 2 shadows, or degrees of shadow, in each case. In the solar eclipse the sum of total darkness thrown by the moon covers only part of the earth's surface at a time. "This shadow is called the umbra." Outside of that there is a perfect shadow, because only part of the sun's rays are in. tercepted. This partial shadow is the penumbra.

In the lunar eclipse the moon is entirely swallowed up in the cone of total darkness cast by the earth into space. But again, outside of the total shadows, there is a partial shadow on each side nearly half as wide as the total shadow. Saturday the moon reached the lower edge of the penumbra with her upper edge at 2.27 a. m. She touched the total shadow at 4.30 with ber upper edge, while her lower edge just about reached the limit of the penumbra.

She became wholly lost in the cone of total darkness at 5.81. The middle of the eclipse came at 6.20, and 7.09 the edge of the moon began to emerge from the darkness on the upper side. At 8 09 her lower edge left the umbra and her upper edge just reached the upper end of the penumbra, the whole moon being then in the penumbra. In an hour and three minutes more the lower edge of the moon reached the upper edge of the penumbra, and the whole eclipse was over at 9.12. Numerous photographs were taken of the eclipse during the different stages of occulation, which will serve as foundations and verification for theories of various kinds in regard to matters of interest in the astronomical world.

As the moon is not al ways at the same distance from the earth, varying, indeed, between 221,000 and 250,000 miles, she sometimes has a narrower sum of darkness to go through than at other times. Saturday night the umbra was times the moon's own diameter that is to say, 3,. 557,000 miles thick. Next July, at midnight on the 22d, there will be another eclipse, and the moon will go through a thicker part of the cone, 125 times her diameter, or 3,900,000 miles through. The July eclipse will have one advantage over Saturday night's in that the beginning of it may be observed, for the mooo will not enter the penumbra until 9.55 p.

m. But there is a disadvantage, too, in that in order to observe that one, one must wait until midnight, and to see the end of it, must wait until 3 o'clock. Selling at Coat and Under. Mrs. M.

A Bill has been introduced into Congress for the protection and administration of the forests ou the public lands. It ithdraws from survey, sale, entry, and disposal the unsurveyed lands embracing natural forests, aud all public lands returned by the public surveys as timber lands; and provides for the appointment of a Com. missioner of Forests, at a salary of .5,000 a year, aud four Assistant Commissioners, who shall have the control of all the forest lands owned by the United States. The cutting, removal, or destruction of any timber in the forest lands owned by the United States is made a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, but the right is reserved to agriculturists and mines to take wood for domestic purposes. This step is not taken any too soon.

At present rate of cutting off our forests they will disappear within a reasonable Time. We hope the bill.will become a law, jujUhat it will be vigorously administered. Mr. M. S.
