time the workshop as a sure means of future
independence is altogether overlooked, and a
general injustice has resulted all around. Is
it much wonder that the workman of the
present day i : not the equal of his fellow
of thirty or forty years ago? Ho is not
trained as then, sentiment being against it,
and, worse than all, the organism of the
public-school system of the country keeps
fastening upon the habits and tastes of the
youth of the country rather a distaste than
otherwise for the mechanic arts. So far at
least as a ' conspicuous ignoring of their
claims, this is the case. It is suggested in
some quarters, in order to overcome the de-
fects alluded to in public-school instruction,
that technical schools, somewhat after the
diverse patterns of those in Belgium, Switz-
erland, Germany, France and other European
countries, should take the place of a large
proportion of those upon which the taxes of
the people are being squandered with such
]Kior results. There are schools in
France, for example, where primary in-
struction is imparted, both in ordinary
scholastic studies and in the mechanic arts,
the pupils being required tn divide certain
hours of the day between their books and
some hind of handiwork. How to get at the
desired system of instruction is, of course, a
matter of no hm solution. It is plain, hov.

is it the fault of education?
Complaint is more or less general as to the
imperfect training of the modern workman.
In but few of t-lie mechanic arts, it is claimed,
does the journeyman of the present day
come up to the standard of his fellow of
twenty or thirty years ago. Expressions of
opinion to this effect would scarcely be as
frequent as they are did not a positive cause
exist. It is generally admitted that the ex-
tensive introduction of automatic and labor-
saving machinery has destroyed the appren-
ticeship system, which for centuries supplied
industrial training to youth, and the need of
something to take its place is being severely
felt both in the United States and in
Europe. An article on industrial
education in a recent number of
Bradstreet presents some ideas of value
in this connection. "Nothing can be de-
vised," says Bradstreet, "to take the place
of the old apprenticeship system, with tin
promise of corresponding results, by reasoi!
of the changed and changing conditions ol |
the industrial world; yet it has become a
great public necessity, in this as in other
countries, to provide some means for the
industrial education of rising generations.
The public educational systems of the sev-
eral States, as organized and conducted at
the important centers of population, have
done more to aggravate than to countervail
the evils which have resulted from the intro-
duction of labor-saving machinery. As
originally designed, they were all right; but,
as developed, they involve an enormous
waste of money and an incal-
culable injury to the cause of indus-
try, good morals and general prosperity."
In accepting the truth of the axiom that the
better educated the artisan, the better work-
man he will make, the acceptance should be
coupled with tlie proviso that the education
must pertain to the workman's work. Eng-
land has occasion even to feci disquiet over
the character of the education now given to
the industrial classes in that country. It is
deemed too purely literary, and in no sense
technical or even scientific. "It is an edu-
cation which," says one of England's most
eminent authorities, " so far as it goes be-
yond the three elements of reading, writing
and arithmetic, is framed in all essential fea-
tures upon an exclusive collegiate type of
studies—grammar, history, geography, for-
eign languages, and the like, being intro-
duced to the utter exclusion of all the most
important of the successive standards of any
teaching of drawing, of mechanics, of the
simplest facts of science or of natural his-
tory—of all, in fact, that most nearly con-
cerns the workman throughout his entire
career." These remarks may be applied al-
most literally to the public system of
instruction of this country. It is notorious
that in the larger cities at least tlie courses
of instruction in the public schools
here are arranged with a view of carrying
every pupil through every grade from the
primary school to the academic finis,
though every pupil were expected to earn a
livelihood in some professional career. The
fitting of the pupil, by any specific process
of instruction, for the ordinary every-day
avocations of life is very flagrantly over-
looked. Beginning in this form, life and its
duties resolve themselves into a sentiment or
a fashion. Tlie pupil is not offered scope
enough for the cultivation of natural bent.
Many an excellent mechanic, in the poten-
tial sense, is turned into an inferior lawyer,
or perhaps a still more inferior physician,
simply because opportunity has not been
offered. The exelusivism of the school-
room is pernicious in more than one respect.
It not only serves to dwarf the current ot
natural capacity and taste on the part of the
pupil, by restraining thought in limited
channels of what is called higher education,
but it brings home to the parental abode
ideas not always in consonance with
practical duty. The great majority of peo-
ple whose children-attend the public schools
of the land are not themselves critics in clas-
sical or advanced education. Fiyun the very
want of it, however, they attach to it an im-
portance that possibly it does not possess.
It is doubtless gratifying to the average
parent of this class that the child in its stud-
ies-should be a notch abo»e him. Home ami
experiential instruction—that great factor in
practical efficiency—utterly fails here, and
the pupil is left altogether to the curriculum of
the school-room. Tliis in itself is essentially
objectionable. Carrying the idea further,
false standards of what constitutes respect-
ability are acquired. Other acquirements
not being equal—again through want of op-
portunity—the parent looks to professional
life as the goal of ambition. The error is
rot discovered until too late, or before the
youth has displayed adaptability for nothing
above professional mediocrity. There
remains for them but the lighter
avocations of life, into which so
many drift with sucu poor results. Mean

New York is the most important State at
the present stage of the national struggle,
and as a consequence all eyes are watching
developments in that State with the greatest
solicitude. Much speculation hinges on the
actions and designs of John Kelly, the im-
jsajious and exacting Tammany chief. It is
recognized that, this leader is prepared aL all
times to sacrifice a national ticket for an ad-
vantageous Tammany combination, and it has
been feared that in case of dispute between
the Kelly and Tilden factions over the mu-
nicipal offices, Kelly and Arthur would, as
they have done in the past, pool their issues.
The same thing was apprehended iu case
events should make it appear that there was
no satisfactory assurance of enough votes,
with Xow York included, to elect Hancock.
Such fears, however, have been wholly, or
almost wholly, removed by the understanding
arrived at a few days ago bet ween the Irving
and Tammany Hail factions on the question
oi' municipal nominations, and as no further
temptation to fly off the handle will prob
ably arise before November, the attitude of
the Tammany leader may be said to be fixed.
With this granted, the incentive to the Demo-
cratic leaders to work earnestly is not
wanting. Taking a review of the
political contest in New York since 1860.
it is to be observed that from 1860 to 1S69
the iJepublicans were successful seven and
the Democrats three times, and that during
the last ten years the Democrats have had Six
victories and the Republicans four, two of
which were the result of Democratic dissen-
sions. It is true, however, that there are in
New York more voters of the independent
ordei- than in auy other State; acondhion natu-
rally and properly resulting from the scandal-
ous Vzses which have been the fruit of close
party org-anizationa in that State. In 1872
Dix aud Grant swept the State by over 03,000.
In 1874, with the aid of Robinson, Bigelow
and other accessions of conservative Repub-
licans, Tilden unhorsed Dlix by over 50,000,
and from that time until 1878, when Tarn-
manv got troublesome, the Democrats w-ere
uniformly successful. In the gubernatorial
election of 1879 Cornell was chosen by 42,-
777 plurality over Robinson, while 77,506
Democratic votes were cast for John Kelly.
The vote in that election stood as follows;
Republican 418.567 1 Prohibitionist 4.437
Democratic 375,790 j Scattering, etc.... 2,496
Tammany 17,566 { Total vote 991.544
Nat. & Work'gmen ^0;CS8 | Repub'n plurality 12,777
Had John Kelly worked in the traces, sup-
posing that the moral effect of his support
would not have repelled voters from the
Democratic ticket, Robinson, the Democratic
■andidxie, would have been elected by 34,-
j 7!)0 plurality. With a reconciliation effected
jetween the conflicting wings of the party,
th? question to be considered is how far the
reverses in the Octobcr elections, the opera-
tions of a State Republican administration,
th3 nervousness of capital, the desire of
some to bear the ills they have rather than
fly to others they know not of, and the
strong efforts of monopolists to prevent the
removal of existing restrictions, will go to-
ward maintaining the plurality. It is to be
feared from the course the election took iu
Vermont that the military and Union pres-
tige of the Democratic; candidate will count
for little iu the contest in New York, and
that this little will be counterbalanced by
many of the personal friends of Mr. Tilden
making common cause with the Republicans
against the Kelly faction and the Solid South,
whos'j combined opposition to their favorite
made his nomination impossible at Cincin-
nati.
tha t comet.
st news of any great importance
The lat-
is that a large comet is steeriug straight for
the earth. It is called Swift's comet, not
because lie raised it at all, but because he
first discovered it. It is with comets, as it
is with continents and islands; they are
named after the man who first discovers
them. Thus far we have to take Prof.
Swift's word for it that the comet is there,
because it is so far off that nobody but Swift
and a few other experts can see it. But it is
generally conceded that the comet is there.
The Professor does not run a political organ
and has nothing to do with-election returns;
hence it is to be presumed that the comet is
just where he says it is. Now, if Swift
were president of a savings bank, and the
comet were the cash in the safe, there would
be some who would like to see for them,
selves that ho was not joking. As it is, we
Inay safely rely on the comet being a fixed
fact, though a roving body. In old times the
approach of a comet was a serious
matter. It caused almost as much conster-
nation as the announcement of a suspicious
case of alleged malarial fever in New Or-
leans. When in old times a comet was seen
** cavorting " about the firmament, every-
body got on his good behavior, from the
king on the throne down to the beggar in
the street. It was supposed that the
Almighty had become weary of the sinful-
ness of men, and proposed, as a purifying
measure, to convert the earth into one vast
crematory. On the approach of one par-
ticularly vicious-looking comet several hun-
dred years ago, no less than ten thousand
mistresses were publicly married to the
other guilty parties in the violation of one
of the most important commandments.
Everybody who had a bad conscience went
on a pilgrimage, and borrowed money
to invest in sackcloth and ashes,
which were in great demand.
Instead of making a general smash, the
comet approached the earth, and, apparently
satisfied with the sincerity of the repentance
of the inhabitants, went back to where it
came from witliout interfering with the
census returns. As almost, if not quite,
everything is possible, may it not be a fact
that penitence for sin and genuine reform
actually can divert a comet from its course ?
A great many learned and intelligent people
believe m such tilings. Is not rain prayed
for in the churches, and have not Garfield's
clerical friends prayed for majorities in
Democratic States t Considering all
which, who will dare assert positively that
Swift's comet is not a messenger of wrath to
warn and to threaten those who have been
guilty of so much lying and other popular
electron expedients during the present cam-
paign? Never before, according to Demo
cratic and Republican testimony lumped to
gether, has there been so much wickedness
as in the present campaign. The News is
not authorized to speak for the comet, not
-being the organ of any planitary or political
body, but the fact of the comet putting in
th<4m perheated their flocks, and there was a scene
not soon to be forgotten. Everyone appeared tore-
joice over the happv reunion, so to speak, and that
the good feeling may continue to grow is the earnest
wish of all Christians,
This is certainly a good work, whether the
public evidence of reconciliation was spontane-
ous or pre-arranged.
Mysterious affairs with nothing in them, and
narrow escapes from imaginary accidents that
do not happen, spun on long threads of gossa-
mer. constitute a large proportion of the local
items of some Texas journals. Their facts and
rtction, truth and satire, are so much alike that
it would take half a dozen Sifters to separate
them.
The Waco Examiner has a lengthy leader on
the lessons oi' the Indiana election, full of whole-
some morals and wise suggestions, the last of
which is the following:
A man who bets still on the election of Hancock
is not foolish, he would bower jt require odds. Tne
chances fav.-r the Republicans, but only tlie
chances, not the certainties.
Pretty long odds, one might think.
The papers generally give a last, warning to
candidates to hand in their money or expect
th$t their names will not appear on the general
ticket. A candidate who can not wheedle the
printer out of his bill, or wheedle somebody
else into paying it, has not tlie proper elements
of success any way.
The prospect for tlie crop of cotton improves.
The Canton Chronicle says.
Our farmer friends are notified that on and after
the ';d of November they can secure plenty cotton-
pickers. Many of our candidates will want em-
ployment.'
That is not the kind of employment general-
ly wanted by candidates.
The Pilot Point- (Denton county) Post says:
In view of the fact that t.he entire machinery of
this government has been run for a time by third-
class clerks, while the heads of departments,
hea«led by Mr. Hayes, were twickling here and there
making political speeches, may we not suppose
that it could be run without a fifty thousand dollar
President, and other expensive hangers-on at the
public crib. May we not expect an intelligent Con-
gress in the future to halter these nickering ani-
mals in their stalls or remove their official neces-
sity?
Just so; but in what dictionary did you get
the word "twicklingf' "Nicker," according
to Webster, is one who watches for opportuni-
ties to pilfer or practice knavery. Horses
neigh and whinny, but no not nicker in the un-
abridged.
Judge A. B. Norton continues to be roughly
handled by the Texas papers for his bloody-
shirt speeches in Indiana. They are so much
ot variance with his previous moderate and
conciliatory course that the best apology that
is made for them is that of political necessity.
Republican success depends upon keeping alive
old animosities.
The Fort Griffin Echo, " not to put too fine a
point upon it," reports as follows a little pistol
practice in which a peace officer was engaged:
A personal difficulty occurred at the Palace Sa-
loon Tuesday night between Constable Emll Krause
and a stranger named Mitchell, in which pistols
were drawn and five shots fired, one of which dis-
abled Krause"s right hand and; made scrap-iron of
his six-shooter. Mitchell hid out until the affair
could be investigated, when he returned and gave
himself up. The whole affair grew out of a misun-
derstanding and a little whisky. Evidently Krause
was hasty and exercised poor judgment, both as a
man and"an officer.
As a peace officer Mr. Krause is evidently a
failure.
The papers of Texas, like those of other
states now devote most of their editorial labors
to politics—national, state and local. However
interesting to the majority of their readers,
the News finds little in their discussions that
promises* to be of interest to its patrons. P*e-
crimination aud personalities continue to form
a loading feature in their discussion.
There is a discouraging lack of enterprise
among the papers of Texas. A number of
them have yet said nothing to induce people to
bring suits against them for libel, though noth-
ing is easier. In fact, tho only suit of the kind
that has appeared thus far this week is a little
one for ten thousand dollars, against tho Dallas
Herald, for having printed the following para-
graph:
A prisoner escapes. Friday night Charley Moore,
a prisoner in the station, who was arrested by
t he police on tlie charge of stealing spoons from
Wood's restaurant, made a bold brea-t for liberty,
which he gained bv mnningover the turnkey when
he opened the cell door. The prisoners in the cell
pretended that they were fighting, so says the turn-
key. and when he opened the door to stop them,
the prisoner ran over him.
A great many unsophisticated people will
naturally be at a loss to know who was libeled
in this innocent-looking paragraph. Not to
create unpleasant .suspense in the case, it may
be stated that the injured individual is the
aforesaid turnkey, Thomas E. Conn by name,
who acts as his own lawyer and files his own
petition for ten thousand dollars damages, mak-
ing at the same time the pauper's oath, 4* that
he is too poor to pay the costs in this case, or
to give security therefor." What appears to
be the chief grievance of tho complainant is
thus stated:
The aforesaid prisoner. Charley Moore, was then,
and is now. a very small and slight built youth of
perhaps from eighteen to twenty years of age; was
not charged with stealing spoons, but was arrested
and held to answer to the charge of unlawfully in-
terfering with private property: that plaintiff is a
large, robust, active and powerfully-built man: that,
prior to the publication ot said article, the plaintiff
had never a reflection cast upon his courage, for
courage or veracity, then held, at the time of its
publication, the plaintiff up to the whole commu-
nity as a ridiculous liar and cowardly poltroon, who
basely neglected his duty, and then attempted to
shield himself from public opprobrium by telling a
most ridiculous lie.
Ten thousand dollars is all that is demanded
by the piaintiil' for this gross libel on his cour-
age and veracity, which seems to constitute his
total pecuniary assets. It is unfortunate for
the Herald aud tho officers of tho court, if not
for himself, that he has not enough ready
money to pay his own costs. This is but an-
other instance of the prevailing disposition to
bulldoze tho Texas press by moans of libel suits.
It is not more ridiculous than other suits of the
kind.
Democratic victory at the polls next Novem-
ber. There is no other means of ransom from
the bondage of this national shame.
San Francisco Chronicle: Blaine's voice has
failed. There is uo doubt of it. as a physician's
certificate is appended to a statement of the
fact. Hereafter Blaine will probably be a si-
lent spectator of the light. It is not at j»I1 sur-
prising that Blaine should havo lobt his voice.
The speeches he made in Maine were, perhaps,
no longer t&an he was accustomed to make,
but they were less successful. He went west
into Indiana, and was there doing good service,
when the intelligence reached him that- Conk-
ling, Cameron and Grant had called on Garfield
at his home in Mentor. Blaine kuew what this
might lie interpreted to mean. With President
Hayes in Oregon. Sherman silent, and Conk-
ling, Cameron and Grant in consultation with
GariiekLthe instinct of a prophet was not needed
to fix Colliding s place in a Garfield Administra-
tion. W here Colliding is,there Blaine can not be.
Where Blaine is, Conkling will not go. Blaine
comprehended tliat Conkling had been accorded
the place in Garfield's Administration which
Blaine had expected to fill, and the shock took
his voice away. There is little wonder. It was
Blaine more than all other men combined who
nominated Garfield. When he found his own
Domination impossible, he comprehended that
unless the opposition to Grant concentrated 011
a new leader, Grant would be nominated.
Such a result was to be avoided. Gai-field had
come up in the convention as a conspicuous lig-
ure, and there were 110 combinations formed
against him. His nomination was possible,
and with Blaine it was accomplished. It
Blaine had carried Maine by ton thousand ma-
jority, his great rival, the New York Senator,
would not have soemed so necessary as to allow
him to make his own terms. But Maine
changed tlie face of the canvass, and Conkling
seemed the man who could most certainly
change it back again. Under these circum-
stances, it is not at all surprising that Blaine
lost his voice.

Tlie migratory Scot.

Old Osbomo said, ages since: "The Scot,
like the poor Swiss, finds a more commodious
abiding under every climate than at home.'' A
story appeared in a well known serial, some
several years since, describing tlie disappoint-
ment of an Englishman wh«» went out to the
east as an interpreter, and whose ruling pas
sion was a hatred of everything Scotch; but
strolling through the camp with a Turkish offi-
cer. and abusing tlie Scotch to his hearts con-

my heart! is everybody on earth a Scotch
man.- Perhaps I'm one myself without know-
ing it!" But when the Russian genera! Taras-
soff exclaimed: 44 Eh, Donald Cawmell! are ye
here?" and Ibrahim pasha burst forth simulta
neously: "What, Sandy Robertson! can this
be youf* the Englishman burst forth: "It's all
over! Turks, Russians, Hungarians, English-
all Scotchmen. It's more than I can bear!
shall go home; there'-s nothing left for me to
do here. I came out as an interpreter; but if
all the nations of Europe talk nothing but
Scotch, what use can I be?" This seems very
droll, but no more droll than real.
W o believe it is sir Archibald Alison who
mentions how, when marshal Keith was com-
bating the Turkish forces under the grand vi-
zier, the two generals came to a conference
with each other; the grand vizier came mount-
ed on a camel in all tlie pomp of eastern mag-
nificence ; the Scotch marshal Keith, who origi-
nally came from the neighborhood of TurifF,
in Aberdeenshire, approached on horseback
After the conference the Turkish grand vizier
said to Keith that he would like to sj>eak a few
words in private to him, in his tent, and lagged
that uo one should accompany him. Marshal
Keith accordingly went in, and the moment
they conferred the grand vizier thi-ew off his
turban, tore off his beard, and, running to
marshal Keith, said: " O Johnnie, foo's a wi*
ye, man ?" and he then discovered that the
grand vizier of Turkey was a school-fellow of
his own who had disappeared about thirty
years before from a parish school near Methlie.
And we remember to have met with an anec-
dote of a Scotchman from Perth, who had pene-
trated into the far interior of Asia—we for-
get where; he had to see the pasha, or bashaw.
He was introduced to the comely man in his
tent. They gathered up their knees, and sat
down upou their carpets. They drank their
strong coffee and smoked their hookahs to-
gether in solemn silence; but few words, at any
rate, passed between them, but, we may trust,
sufficient for the occasion; but when the man of
Perth was about to leave, the pasha also arose,
and following him outside the tent, said, in
strong Doric Scotch: 441 kenned ye vera well
in Perth; ye are just sae aud sae." The Perth
man was astonished, as well he might be, until
the pasha explained, as he said: " I'm just a
Perth man my sol'!" He had traveled, and he
had become of importance to the government
there. His story was not very creditable. In
the expectation of the post he filled he had be-
come a Mohammedan.

Editorial Expressions from Leading
Papers.
New York Truth: Democrats, be not de-
ceived! The Republican party has no love for
the jKK>r. The tar ill' question is only the lie
publican molasses with which Democratic flics
are caught. The election once over, the Re-
publican party will continue its policy of
crushing down the weak and elevating the
strong. That the country is prosperous to-day
is not owing to them, but to the tremendous
forces of nature which even they, with all their
mismanagement, have not been able to put
down. The Government has now been in the
hands of aristocrats for twenty years. It is
time the common folk had something to say.
By undeviating energy, by united action, by
common-sense work, the election of Hancock on
the 2d of November can easily be assured. And
this will mean the end of corruption, the end of
fraud, the end of oppression, the end of a
privileged class.
Philadelphia Record: The revolt of business
men against tariff revision is about as sensible
as the revolt of business men against a return
to specie psyments. There were hundreds of
merchants and manufacturers who bemoaned
themselves and walked around with ashes on
their heads because the Government determined
to force resumption. But the day of resumji-
tiou passed over without any financial disaster.
Our present tariff lies like an incubus on the
business men of the country. It deadens in-
ternal trade and paralyzes external trade. It
needs modification and" adjustment, not to de-
stroy any industry, but to permit and to create
new industries. The business men who allow
themselves to bar the way against a most neces-
sary measure of relief from the frightful, indi-
rect and insidious taxation under which tlie
country groans are their own worst enemies.
A reduction in the tariff on articles of general
consumption from present rates so as not to
exceed an average of so to 85 per cent, would
stifle no honest industry, but it would lift a
load from the backs of consumers which would
lighten the hearts and revive the energies of
the whole nation.
New York Star: One of the chief objects
which the supporters of Hancock and English
have in view seeking the overthrow of the party
that now controls the Executive branches of
the Government is an opportunity to admit
daylight into the dark recesses where lie con-
cealed the damning evidences of the rottenness
and corruption of that party. Millions upon
millions of the people's money have disappeared
through the secret channels of the Treasury
Department. Its accounts have been falsified
and its ledgers mutilated to obscure the traces
of systematic robbery. Crime and rascality,
whose dimensions we know not and never shall
know, if Hancock is defeated, await the hour of
a searching inquest to tell their infamous story.
The Democracy accuse the robbers before tho
Grand Jury of the nation, and ask for justice.
Are the people so lost to a true sense of their
own interests, so indifferent to their own honor
and the honor of the American name, as to
turn a deaf ear to so reasonable an appeal i Of
what use are political parties if not to operate
a s a check upon each other in the matter of
those abuses that inevitably attend a long
lease of power ? And of what value is a theo-
retical recognition of the principle if the peo-
ple are not wise enough practically to apply it *
It is folly to hope that the men who are guilty
of such crimes will ever accuse themselves or
voluntarily surrender the proofs of their guilt.
Human nature forbids the expectation. Ex-
posure and punishment can only come through

A Storm on the Snn.
Providence Journal: Observers of the sun
found indications of intense commotion on the
11 tli, 12ih and l^ith of August. The sun-spots
were many, large and active, and protuber-
ances shot up their rose-colored tongues with
increased force and velocity from the surface.
The earth made instantaneous response to the
solar storm. A magnetic disturbance suddenly
began, accompanied by an unusual exhibition
of earth currents. " The magnetic varia-
tions wore frequent and lai-ge, and the
earth currents continuous and strong. It
is years since the Greenwich observa
tory has recorded magnetic disturbances
of equal magnitude, and it sends forth a time-
ly warning to telegraph engineers, and espe-
cially to those concerned hi laying submarine
cables, that earth currents may now become
frequent, as compared with the quietness of re-
cent years. A superb exhibition of aui-ora ac-
companied the magnetic disturbance. An ob-
server at the Stoneyhurst observatory de-
Scribes it as recalling the magnificent displays
of 1S09, 18T0 and 1S71, while the play of the
magnets was one of the most violent ever re-
corded at the observatory. The auroral dis-
play was extensively observed in England and
Scotland. One observer described it as a:i
outbust of streamers, appearing like wavy,
swaying curtains from the zenith to near tlie
horizon, with the loveliest green tints near the
zenith. Another writes that the streaks
extended from horizon to zenith, the color be-
ing principally pale blue with a radish tinge.
Another paints the display as a brilliant band
of white light, followed by streamers, each
streamer fading away before the succeeding
one became very bright. Still another
records a growing celestial picture of
the northern horizon skirted by a
bright white haze, terminating in an
ill-defined arch, from which sprang a
large number of broad streamers, stretching
toward the zenith. The same phenomenon was
seen by American observers, although it did
not receive the attention bestowed upon it by
European observers. It is evident, however,
that the epoch of grand auroras and magnetic
storms has returned, and that our northern
skies for months to come will probably be
lighted with auroral flames. More earnestly
than ever arises the question of the cause of
tho sun-spot cycle and its intimate connec-
tion with electric and magnetic phe-
nomena. No one doubts that the commo-
tion in the solar orb is reflected on the
earth in the flashes of auroral light and the
erratic movements of the magnetic needle. We
can see the cause and note the effect. But no
one, if the theory of the disturbing influence of
the great planets is rejected, has found the
clew to the secret of sun spots. We can only
grope in darkness while we wait for persistent
searchers to solve the problem; anil admire
with mingled reverence and awe the mighty
power w ith which the sun sways the the reti-
nues of worlds, and the strength of the symj a-
thetic chord by which each planet in the sysr
tern reflects in auroral light and disturbed mag
netism the abnormal condition of the great cen
tral orb.
An Albany telegraph operator has received
letters patent for a cipher-writer designed for
detectives, lawyers, business men, politicians
and others, who wish to correspond in such
strict privacy that none save themselves mid
those addressed can dec ipher the .meaning.
Its combinations are ilimitable, and however-
well one man may understand the simple little
instrument, it is still impossible for him to dis-
cover by himself what combinations have been
used by others. The combinations consist of
four sets of the alphabet complete and one set of
figures arranged on the cuter circle of a disc.

An Interesting Letter.—A spirit of grati-
tude prompts me to address a brief note of
thanks. Three months ago I returned from
Mobile, Ala., and was immediately attacked
with what is known as Sciatic Rheumatism. I
employed three physicians in succession, giving
each one ample time to afford relief if it ha3
been in his power. I was not materially bene-
fited by their services, and was beginning %o
despair v. hen a friend, who had experienced
the effects of St. Jacobs Oil, advised me to
give it a trial I refused, because I did not
think Rheumatism could be cured by outward
application. Insisting ufcon a trial of it, he
sent me two bottles. Unable to meet his kind-
ness by further refusal, I had tho remedy
applied to the parts affected. My case was so
severe that after a few applications I scarcely
seemed to be benefited. But before the first
bottle had been used up, I began to be relieved
of the painful lameness in my hip and knee,
and when the second bottle was out, I could
dre^s myself and walk about. I continued to
use it, and am now able to go down to my
office and attend to business. Should persons
afflicted as I was desire a stronger testimonial,
I shall tell them if they call upon me to give
St. Jacobs Oil a fair trial: and I now feel as
though I could assure them the same grateful
and speedy relief that I have experienced.
