articles of the Federal Constitution pro-
ride Uir each State shall appoint in such
rim bwer as the Legislature thereof may di-
rrc a number of electors equal to the
whle number of Senators and Representa-
tive ti which the Stbte may be entitled in
the C'nre; but no Senator or Represen-
lat.ie ot per-!.)U boldiuK an olfice of tru-t

Under trump pro.ioi.ip- Ts tss will elect
t i-. ltt prevideiitial elec.oia U4. the election
winch takes place on the seventh of No-
vember. These eight electors will on the first
Wednesday in December meet in the city
of Austin and cast their votes for Presi-
dent and Vice President. Tiny will then
make out and sitfu three certificates of all
votes ((iven by them. Tuese cuit ricates are
to be sealed up; one is to be delivered to
the President of the Uuited States Senate
by a person appointed for that purpose;
one it to be forwarded to him by mail; auu
the other is to be delivered to the j'idtfe of
the district in which the electors assemble.
The same procebS having been i;one
through ineuch Sta'e.and the returns trnns-
mitteJ as above tht President of the Sen-
ate will open all the certificates in the pres-
ence of I he Sciic.te and House of Represent-
atives in c mpliuuce with the following
joint tule:
"The two IIouu-s shall assemble in the
hall of the House oi Representatives at the
hour of 1 o'clock P. M. on the second Wed-
nesday in F. bru ny next succeeding the
meetiii of electors of Prt-Mdeiit and Vice-

appear Imhi the snid certificates and the
votes having been counted the result of the
iLe aauie shall bedeliveied to i he President
of the Senute who shall thereupon an-
nounce the e:ate of the vote and the names
of the persons if any- elected ; which an-
nouncement shull be ileem-.'d a sufficient
declaration of the persons elected President
and Vice Prewident of the United Stutes
and together wi;h a list of the votes be
entered on the journals of the two Jlmises.
If upon the reading of any inch certificate
by the tellers any tpiet-t'on shall arise in re-
gard to counting the votes therein certified

Speaker of the House of ItepcsenUtives
shall in like manner submit said question
to the House of R.-prcseutativjs for its de-
cision and no question shrill be decided af-
firmatively and no vote objected to shall be
counted except by the concurrent vote of
the two Houses; which being obtained the
tHO Houses shall immediately reassemble
and the presiding officer shall then an-
nounce the decision of the question sub-
mitted and upon any such question there
shall be no dubare in either house."
It will be oberved that either house can
reject the vote of any State. Previous to
18ti5 it required the concurrence of both
Houses to reject.
The vote Imving thus been counted the
person receiving the largest number of votes
for President shall be declared elected
provided he his received a mjority of the
eutlre Electoral College.
Should no person receive a majority of
the entire number of electors then I runt
the persons having the high. t numbers not
exceeding three on the list nf those voted
for as President the ll.iitso of Representa-
tives will immediately proceed to elect a
President by ballot. In such case the vote
is to b2 taken bj States the representation
from each State having one vote. A quorum
for t his purpose to consist of a member or
members from two-thirds of the Srates and
a m jority of all the States to be uecessaay
for a choice.
If the II use of Representatives when thjs
duty devolves upon them fail to elect a
President by the fourth of March following
the Vice President will act as President
as iu case of death or constitutional disa
bility.

The progress of the Southern Pacific
Railway unitke the CVulral Pacific has
beeu going on quietly but with steady
steps. The Stciameuto Daily Lnmn of
Sept.mler 6 is be-fore us and it contains a
full account of the opening of this r nd to
Indian Wells 600 miles distant from Sau
Francisco. The line from Ind an Wells to
tue Colorado river 113 miles is under con
tract to be finished by the that o. Jnnuary
and when this is completed the company
will have 715 miles of completed road as
the Union says "reaching out from San
Francisco toward the Southern States and
the Gulf ol Mexico." This will carry
the road to Fort Yuma on the
very confines or the rich old .Mexi
can States a mora and sinaloa. 1 he
California company has built all this road
and much more runuing in other direc
tions without aid from Congress and so
quietly that but little has been said about
it and the Cnmn averts that the present
management will pu-'i their road f for ward
from Fort Yum to Tucson and through
Mexico and into Texas in three years if
Congress will only grant them the right of
way ceded to Tom Scott. They have
amply demonstrated their ability td com-
plete inch an undertaking and while Tom
Scott is asking Congress for a subsidy of
f 40.000 per mile enough to pay debts on
constructed roads and to build the line
acroM the continent the resources of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company are
boaadlesc and their bonds are worth dol-
lar for dollar in any market.
From Fort Yum east the proposed liue
of the Southern Pacific pasaca thr. ugh
acme of the richest farming and grazing
land in Arixona winding along the valley
of the Gila river fot one or two hundred
mile aad then dashing boldly into the
mountainous regions of New Mexico and
the richest mineral lands of the knowc
world points its way to the far famed val-
ley of the Rio Graude and the fertile re-
gion of 1 Psac. The progress of this road
it oo'.y a question of time and with the usual
liberalitiee toward such enterprises there
remain not a doubt that in a -very few
year Text and California would shake
hand over it iroa rail aod enter into a
commercial league too grand to be com-
prehended bow. Tom Scott ha himself
declared that hi road will not be built
beyond Fort Worth sales Coogre sub-
sidises it te aa extent sufficient to build
the road aad pay the be ivy mortgage debt
oa the Atlutic and Pacirie aad other line
aai here ccmea a compsay proposing to
put a guaraatee at the dirK4 J of the gor-
eminent if it does cot complete a road
wituoct the subsidy tei Texas in three years
prooably io a much shorter space of
tini-i. And yet there - are those
among us many we are inclined
to believe serving through pressure indi-
vidual interest in favor of Scott and bis
riO(.t because not sufficiently informed upon
the propositions of the a uthern Pacific
company and the advantages to be de-
rived for Texas from the etcoursgement
of their enterprise. In time this light will
come and the failure of Twm Scott now
reduced to a chronic slate will open the
eyes of the people of Texas to their true
interests. And it is to be Loped the change
will not be tardy tor time io these great
undertakings is important and Texas had
better enjoy advantage now than wait
twenty or thirty years for them. It is
with these views that the Statesman has
insisted upon knowing those of Col.
Giddings upon a question second to none
affecting the destiny of T--xas.
THE EVlL.-M.rW IT CAME ABOUT
alio now ir uat a.iu.
Hard times would by this time have
completely gained the upper hand of every-
body were it not for the steady decline for
years in all the necessities of lifu. Money
li-is been concentrated in the hands of the
few aud at the same time it has been
hoarded or let out only on such securities
and in such amounts aa exclude the masses
from its benefits. These same "hard
times" about which so much is said and
written and which all but a favored
few have encountered must have an
end aud it is believed it will
come when the American people
secure a national administration ia which
confidence can be reposed. These as-
sertions are uo( of an idle or clap-trap
political nature based as many are upon
nothing but are solemn and stupefying
facts. The expenses of the United States
government under Grant have been extrav-
agant beyond comptirison during times of
peace. For aix years of bis administration
ending June SO 1875 the public expendi-
tures amounted to over 4.000000000 all
of which has betn extracted from an over-
taxed people and a large proportion
of which has beeu appropriated to
the use of thieves. The causes for distress
are therefore plainly visible. Confidence
is destroyed and those who let their money
be tiles' for purposes of good in ordinary
times are led to invest in such securities as
will le easily realized upon and which it
is painful to say tend to do little else than
enrich villains. The wealth of the masses
has been absorbed by a system ot political
riugs and as stated t4e bottom would long
wince have fallen out had not the people
been led to greater economy and found
some relief through the universal decline in
life's necessities. With this decline however
which has been fully fifty per cent on all
staple articles in the last ten years there
has been no perceptible relief for just so
fast as economy and lower prices have left
a balance to the account of the citizen just
so fast has it found its way by increased
taxation on everything into the government
treasury and thence into the pockets of
rogues. This is the circle in which money
has traveled the greater portien of it drop:
ping as it passed around permanently
into the pockets of those whom
a corrupt government allows to han-
dle it. To bear us out in these asser-
tions we have been led to extract from a
valuable table of rates made in New York
the following comparative prices of neces-
sities for three leading years.

Were it not then for the increased drain
upon the country resulting maiuly from its
political demoralization and consequent
extravagances the poor man of to-day
would be enabled to lay up money faster
thaa he could ten years ago. Two direct
causes prevent this. One is that
confidence being destroyed labor is
not so constantly employed as it wss
in 1S8G and the other is that corrupt rings
have command of most of the money in the
couutry. There is but one course open
for relief and with its accomplishment the
people at large will once more become
conteuted and happy lor they will
be surrounded with plenty and com-
fort. Want of confidence has shut
the doors of factories and varied indus-
tries with millions invested have lain idle
in consequence of it. Fifty thousand able
bodied men in New Y'oik and a corres-
ponding ratio throughout the country are
without work and without bread and
the only hope for relief is in
a thorough and complete change of the
national gi vernment. Officials are armed
with a power hard to resist. Ninety-five
thousand Federal official against fifty
thousand in 1809 have an infiutfuce over
the voters that it will be hard to overcome
but reason and necessity must certainly
prevail and place the country once more
where it can settle down into universal
prosperity and peace.

Titk Republicans have been claiming that
only two or three sore-head Liberals have
as yet gone over to the support of Tilden
and Hendricks but the evidence are that
t he Democratic ticket is obtaining almost the
united support of Liberal and that a num-
ber of Republican who know that Hayes's
election only meana a continuance of
Grant's policy have come over and are
doing hard work in the cause of reform.

A GBasr AND I U K K MAN.
Henry A. Wise retained a perfectly clear
mind up to the last moments of his life.
He was a great man oue of the greatest
of his day and time ; belonged to the old
school of Virginia gentlemen and was
guided in his career by those exalted senti-
ments which prevailed in the bosoms of
such men as Washington Jefferson
and Madison. There was a nobility
about this man which caused those
who enjoyed Lis presence to bow down
in heart before him and meanness and
low cunning would cringe before him
with a mortal fear. An instance is in mind
when Wise was making his great canvass
against Know-Nothingism in Virginia. It
was at Charlottesville and the hall was
crowded with a tremendous audience. He
had been dogged for several days by a ly-
ing reporter for the Tribune and Wise had
just learned who the man was. He began
by telling his hearers what had been said
in the Tribune in regard to himself and then
giving the picture of the falsifier in-
formed them that he was in their midst.
Abhumed to meet the eye of the great speak-
er he hid himself away in some corner wbure
no one could discover him. The attack
was so rebuking and the picture of the
man so contemptible that though a news-
paper reporter he became disgusted with
himself and fled from exalted presence and
took the very next train which passed
Charlottesville and left Virginia behind
hi Hi. Wise was a great moral power in
life and his example will be an influence
for honor and integrity for long years to
come. He was a pure man and politician
of unblemished fame. As stated his
mind was grand to the last moment of his
life and while life was glimmering in its
socket he made use of the following char-
acteristic words:
"My life has been devoted to virMie and
integrity. I never robbed the p-'or and
what is belter and easier I never robbed the
rich."
To his son he remarked :
"Take hold John of the biggest knots in
life and try to untie them. Try to be
worthy of man's highest estate. Have high
noble manly honor. There is but one test
of anything and that is to be right. If it
is not right turn away from it."
What a reflection was the life of this
great statesman upon the politicians of to
Tue word btbaoooub means an assem-
bly and is applied but rarely to any other
than the Jewish faith. The Great Synagogue
or Sanhedrim is the Jewish assembly or
Court of Twenty Eiders and the name
synagogue is likewise used to denominate
any minor assembly of Jews for exercising
religious rites. The name synagogue has
heDce been applied to the buddings and
temples where the Israelites met for
religious worship and these buildings
always handsomely constructed are
to be found throughout the civilize 1
world. The Statesman does not propose
to insinuate that Austin is outside of the
rivilized world .though it is about at.
equal !u-!nce between the counties of
Lee and Lampasas but it does propose to
make it known that there is as yet no
synagogue in this city. The question of
building one is being discussed aad what-

done with a right fcood spirit. The city
has a large Jewish population and its ag-
gregate wealth is considerable while it is
believed it embraces a intelligent class
ot people as are to be found anywhere.

see no reason why Austin should not keep
company with them. - By the way a

COU.1T THE GERTIANS POIt TILDE.
The evidences now are that the German
vote of New York will go almost unani-
mously for Tilden and Robinson. SiDce
the day that Governor Dix signed what is
vailed tic Coil Damage Law a State issue
has exis'ed between them and the Repub-
licans axd upon naional n:taurea the
Gtruiansare whenever properly informed
gainsc all extravagance and in favor of
lowi r taxation. These people have hud a
forcible demonstration in the acts of Mr.
Tilden that a government conducted by
him is conducted cheaply and they know
that Mr. Robiusou is prepared o carry out
the measures of reform adopted by Til-
den ia New York. In fact Mr. Rob-
inson has had charge of the State's
revenues and has doue quite as much in
his capacity as Mr. Tilden to bring about a
healthy condition of the New York finances.
The nomination of Robinson a man
earnestly admired by the Germans
strengthens the chances of Tilden's election.
If New York elects Robinson it will also
cost its electoral vote for Tilden and the
latter's election will then be pretty well as
sured. Dorsheimcr too is a German by
paientage and his own and his father's
great popularity among Germans will add
to the strength of both the State and
national Democratic candidates. Discus-
sion of questions of nationality is by no
means a favorite subject with the
&TATK8MAX but we are in the midst
of a great struggle and it is
pleuxlng to note any feature of the
cauvas which may give us strength.
The German vote is known to be large in
New York Ohio snd Indiaua and while
the Republican party is bidding so strongly
for its support it is gratifying to see that
it is voluntarily taking position with the
Democracy. The efforts of Schurz with
the motives at their bottom have disgusted
Germans in the North and the speeches in
Indiana of Dittenhotffjr lately connected
with the whisky rings have left the Re-
publican dependence upon German support
but a flimsy structure.
Tub trial of G.-d. Babcock who is under
indictment for complicity in the bogus
safe-burglary conspiracy hrs commenced
in tl.e criminal court at Washington and
will probably occupy at least a month.
Gen. Babcock is defended by Judge W.
M. Fullerton of New York 'and Wm. A.
Cook of Washington. The district attor-
ney assisted by other counsel attends to
the case against Babcick. The parties in-
dicted besides Babcock are Whitley ex-
chief of the secret service; Nettleship his
former first assistant; Thomas P. Somer-
ville a New York lawyer and one Miles
(with 8t veral aliases) who is now serving
a term in the Vermont penitentiary and
who is one of the parties who actually com-
mitted the burglary. Whitley is to be
med as the priucipal witness as his testi-
mony in the main it is believed secured
Babcock'a indictment. One of the princi-
pal points of the defense is the impeach-
ment of Wnitley's evidence on the grouud
that he swore before a committee oi Con-
gress that be had no knowledge of the con-
spiracy. It is thought that Harrington
who hits been hiding in Canada may be
present before the trial is over and grave
developments are expected.
Congress granted an appropriation of
$3000000 for the navy and yet Secretary
Robeson has no money to pay even officers
on the active list. The result is that he
has issued furloughs to about 500 of the
best men in the navy and thus placed them
on starvation pay. Yet Mr. Robeson has
plenty of money to maintain a vessel of war
to carry Col. Fted Grant and his attaches
around on summer pleasure excursions and
to keep it waiting on them at the various
seaside resorts. He also has plenty of
money to equip and use another war
vessel to convey ; himself aud
retinue to Rye Boach and Newport and
to keep in commission useless vessels en
the lakes for the accommodation of Zick
Chandler and Simon Cameron and the r
friends; and besides this he has sufficient
money to keep an army of employees in the
navy yards to vote the Republican ticket.
Such is the reform instituted hv Graut aud
it was to this order of affairs that Hayes al-
luded when he said. "If elected I shall

The New York Herald gives a graphic
description of the ceremonies at the pre-
sentation of the trophy to the victorious
American team. The exciting contests at
Creedmoor were followed by the presenta-
tion of the trophy to the American team.
tnd the ceremonies were of much interest.
There were about fifteen thousand people
in the building. Thousands who had not
seen the match were anxious to see the gal-
lant mtrksmen of Irelaud Scotland Can-
ada and Australia and those of America
who had "fired the shot heard round the
world." The American team was composed
of Tnry Fulton Henry Gildersle'v J"in
Bod ine Thomas S. Dakin Hansom Rath-
bone Samuel Weber Isaac L. Aden and
William B. Far well; and Gildersleeve was
the leading marksman here as he was at
Wimbledon. Mr. Milner of the Irish team
maJe the greatest number of wonderful
shots hitting the bull's-eye fifteen times at
one thousand yards. The trophy awarded
to the American team was a magnificent
gold medal presented by the Centennial
Commission. Each of the other teams was
presmted with a miniature copy of th
trophy.
The Isle troubles in South Carolina pre
sent a clear case for the exercise of Taft's
instruction. It ia a plain case of intimi
dation and that too of colored voters and
net alone is this intimidation exercised
against colored voters but by colored vot
ers. Now let Mr. Taft take pot session of
South Carolina ; let him arrest and imprison
the colored men who not only intimidated
other colored men but who murdered them
in consequence of political principles to
which the intimidated proposed to adhere.
The is ue is before him and he aad his mas-
ter dare not execute the order of but yes-
terday because intimidation originates
where it must not be attacked.

Sexatok Bayakd in a recent speech
made in the northern canvass shows where
the revenue come from. In 1875 Virginia
paid $7 548849; Kentucky 8831000; Mis
souri f 3.730.344 while from toe wnoie nve
New England State the internal revenue is
omi $2771014. Upon these States the gov-
enttteut relies for the means to meet its just
obligation to the creditor. He asks if tbs
people of the Ncrth can disregard these fig-
ures and discard the aid of Jthe Smthf
Ha Hiked them to give tu the people of
Louisiaus Mis-issippi and the Carolines the
peace of the law and they will a peed 1 1 j
join the other S mtbern States in a com
mon contribution that will go far to telicve
the present burdens of taxation while a con
tinuance of tue system of the Republican
party will soon leave the people of all these
States without revenue a burden upon the
Federal government. He justly claimed
that the support of a party attempting to
array the Northern States against the peo-
ple of the South is a direct attack upon the
independence and dignity of the national
government.
Tub true policy of the Southern people
is not to act upon the suggestion of the
Baltimore Gazette but they should bear in
mind that they have friends in the North
working earnestly for their salvation.
These friends are true and brave and their
name is legion. They entertain the same
political opinions as Democrats of the
Smith and are cenduo iug this canvass for
the good of the whole country; and the
Southern people should commit no act
which may injure the mutual cause of these
people. ' Governor Pa:ker in New Jersey
has made use of these words:
Tiie policy of the Republican party to-
ward '.he S.iuth since the war has no paral-
lel for heartlessnesit and cruelty. Posterity
will regard it with horror and disgust and
history will stigmatize it aa the great po-
litical crime of the century. The scheme
of bayonet rule was devised for party pur-
poses without regard to the welfare of
tho people. North or South it was op-
pressive to the irouth and ruinous to the
North.
The history of the District of Colum-
bia ring is familiar to the whole country.
It was formed for purposes of plunder and
has had absolute control of the District of
Columbia for years. By m-ans of false
measurements and fraudulent vouchers sup-
plied by Babcock while confidential secre-
tary of the President and by other devices
it succeeded in plundering the Treasury of
millions of dollars which the taxpayers of
the dilferent States will have to make
good. Boss Shepherd the-leader of the
ring is one of the most intimate peisonal
friends of Grant who has aided him to the
utmost extent of his ability in his designs
against the public funds. Grant is believed
to be a secret partner in the ring real estate
pool.
Tfik Sugar Planter K publican) of Louis-
iana is very well pleased with the canvass
of the State thus far. It sees no fault with
the Democrats and acknowledges that they
have acted properly and is evidently a
disbeliever in the cries of persecution. The
Sugar Planter is published just opposite
Baton Rouge and ought to bo accepted as
good authority upon the conduct of the
canvass in Louisiana. All truthful Repub-
licans will express themselves just as does
the Sugar Planter.
Congress at its last session appropriated
$200000 towards the completion of the

It only take five minutes. You step on
the cage and ttx- hand that guides the Titan
at the surface touches the rein of his block
monster aud you are plunged into the gloom.
In a moment the lights vf earth go out; by
the glare of labtern you know you are pass-
ing dripping timbers; tb sounds from
above grow taint and fainter and cease the
vapors rie around you as from a cauldron ;
yo hear now add then a rumble in the
dee s as though the dark spirit below were
complaining that their treasures were being
thus taken awsv ; you listen expecting to
bear the mutteriugs of the gnomes which
guanl the sscreo treasures; there comes a
dauce of the cage beneath your feet; you
know the hand above has touched the bit
of bis burdeu-bearer and then thecige s'ops
ami you are more than a quarter ot mile
below the busy city which you j ist a few
motueutt lefore left; from ths Ousty high
way you have stepped int the worlJs
grandest treasure hou-e; you have passed
from the temperate to the tropical lone in
a ninuieDtrrjiin are in the Bonanza. It
take but a little space to complete the
transition; it take but a moment to de-
scribe it ; but the change is wonderful and
to one ot a thoughtful mind the wouder
inci eases with each returning visit. It is
no utile thing to work a mine 1500 feet lie-
low the surface. True there are broad
avenues there; broad umlicrs which like
Atlas seem competent to support a world
upon their broad backs; there are engines
at work and cars running; but every
glimpse of the men there reveals the exer-
tion necessary to keep up this conflict with
the spirits which guard the buried treasure
below. The men are striped io the waist
those brawny del vers with perspiration
bursting from every p re and their bodies
shining aa it is said the Spauish victims
shone in the sunlight when siretched upon
the fatal stone upon the top of Teocola ere
the Aztec priests tore out their hearts for a
sacrifice. These white breasts have another
significance. Oa the surface servile races
may take from the laborer his bread ; down
iu that gloom there ia no fear of competi-
tion. The pale-tact-s there hold sway.
There the Caucasian race is indispensable
for what is uceded among gnomes is a
steady brain a quick strong hand a ruling
intelligence. Those strougholdr hp not
stormed until irrappled with by the world's
ruling races. It look pleasant down there
in the mimic streets and under the lantern's
glare; but before those streets were opened
there was in the stilling air a work per-
formed which caunot be calculated. Picks
were swung drills were struck powder
was burned men fainted and full iu their
places but the woik wont on. So it will
proceed in the future until probably after
another sixteen years they will be working
8000 feet bulow the surface as unconcerned
as they now delve at the piesout levels.
We pass through a long drift and suddenly
we find where an attacking column are driv-
iug into the ore. The s grit is magnificent but
for those in the East who fancy that silver
mining is a light thing to accomplish one
visit here would dispel the illusion. A
glimpse at the work a glance at the ma-
chinery a few thoughts of the study re-
quired to make a successful battle against
the rok the waier the danger ana the
gn trees would suddenly reveal to them
h w it is that a first-class miner has to be
a first-class man and bow after he com
p etes this education below ground he can
seize upon the ordinary avocations of life
as a student after compassing algebra is
uever more troubled by a proposition in
arithmetic. But we are on the cage once
more the hell up above signals that there
is precious freight on board and in five
miuutes more we are out of the depths the
blessed sunlight comes to us again the sum
tner strikes us with a chill we are out of
the depths and have doue the Bonanza.

Shooting ntara.
We make a few selections from an inter-
esting paper on "shooting stir i" by Prof.
C. A. Young published in the Boston Jour-
nal of ChemUtry. These shooting stars
he says are very small for the most part
weigi 'ng cvrtaiuly not more than a few
grains aod possibly only some thousandths
of a grain mere pait'ules or clouds of dust
which are traveling in space under the same
laws as those which govern the motions of
the planets and comets and with a velocity
as great. Their least velocity is mor.o
thirty times that of a cannbu balL.'.l'L
:hcy encouuter ouiUU0sVaJaVV'this veloc-
ity is destroyed by the resistance and ac-
c irrting to well-known laws their energy
of motion is converted into heat of intensity
sufficient to render them incandescent and
even to dissipate any solid portions in
vapor. Their numbers are very great.
About forty per hour is a fair aversge for
one station or nearly one thousand each
day. If the caluiilation is carried out for
the whole earth allowing that each station
all are observed which come within a circle
two hundred mile in diameter the total
number reaching the earth daily is found
to be about five million; indeed Prof. New-
toi who is perhaps the highest authority
on this subject sets the numi-er still higher
at seven and a half million. A curious fact
is that the hourly numbers increase from
sunset to sunrise by some fifty per cent.
The reason is simply that in the evening
we are so to speak behind the earth as it
rushes through space and see only tbott
which overtake us; in the morning on the
other hand we are in front and see all we
meet aa well a those we overtake.
The most remarkable discovery of recent
time in respect to these bodies remains to
Ins mentioned. It is found that in four well-
mat ked cases the orbits of important
meteoric swarms coincide exactly with the
orbits or weir known comets; that the
swarm of m.teors follows in the wake of
the comet and is somehow connected with

Schiapparelli first proved the connection
between the Leonids (November meteors)
and Temple' cniet. Since then the same

Wovikns Clothes. A Londou letter to

Trie extremities to which fashion has sd
vsnced in London in female attire are really
deplorable. A lady oa whose truthfulness
I can depend confide to me the following
particulars: She was asked the other day
to inspect the wedding trousseau of a young
Lady of high rank. The dreanes were very

There is no rule wbch philosophers cn
devise for choosing either husbands or
wives wisely thst has very much rfft-ct for
the young do not trust tb old upon that-
subject and choice for women especially
ia by no mean so free as we all affect o
believe. Not one woman in fifty unlea

rank or beauty a great "catch" has any-
thing like a real power of selection among
admirer; and even when she has she ofteu
give it away in obedience to a passing
possibly sensible possibly blundering fancy
that she ha fouud an Ideal. But we should
have said there were two broad rules still
worth teaching because they bad some
chance of being believed and they were
these : Let ths womau's first requisite be a
mau whose home will be lo him a rest and
the man's first object be to hiiu a woman
who can make home restful. It is the man
with many interest with engrossing occu-
pations with plenty of people to fight
with a struggle to maintain against tbe
world who is the really domestic man in
the wife's sense; who enjoys home who is
tempted to make a friend of hi wife who
relishes prattle who feels in tbe small cir-
cle where nobody is alio ve. him and nobody
unsympathetio with him as if he were in a .

On Him Ear.
A Lexington Avenue man was reeding a
story to his wife the other night and came
to a piece of "fino writing" in which tie
ear of the heroine was compared to "some
Creamy-white pink-tiuted shell of ocean."
"Ily the way" said the husband cutting
short his reading "that description of the
ear remind me of your ear-jou have an ear
like a shell."
It was the first compliment she had re
ceived from him since the early days of
their marriage and a blush of pride suf-
fused her face s she asked
"What kind of a shell darlingl"
"An abalone shell" he replied.
She had never before beard of or seen an
abalone shell but she did not want to (lie.
play ber ignorance so she made up her
mind to hunt it up in tbe "Condensed Con-
etiology" that ornamented the ceutre table. .
Next morning the first thing she did after
ber husband had left the house was to bunt
up the description of an abalone shell. She
found it. It was described as shell about
the size of an ordinary wagon wheel. She
nursed her wrath during that day and when
her husband came home that night she met
him at the door with a towel roller and
now his ear is a big as an abalone shell but
it looks like a piece of pounded beef.

An English butter maker of experience
who is now on a visit to this couotry for the
purpose of looking over our cheese and but-
ter dairies gives us tbe following in forma-
tioa concerning a method iu practice
among the butter-maker of England for
hardening or rendering butter firm and
olid during hot weather: Carbonate
of soda and alum are used for tbe purpose
made into a powder. For twenty pound .
of latter oue teaspoonful of carbonate of
oda and one Heaspoonful of powdered
alum are mingled together at tbe time of
churning and put into tbe cream. Tbe
i fleet of thi powder is to make the butter
come firm and solid aud to give it a clean
sweet flavor.' It dees not enter into tbe
butter but its action is upon tbe cream
sud it passes off with the buttermilk. The
Ingredients of tbe powder should not be
mingled together unil required to be used
or at tbe time tbe cream is in the churn
ready for churning. Walertov a (JV. T.)
