An Illinois lady died last week
from eating too many hickory nuts.
The Ohio legislature is still en-
gaged in investigating the Payne
bribery case.
The Times says, San Antonio will
entertain the members of the State
Press Association in royal style, but

The gentle granger suffers all.
He is never up to tricks, and yet
they do say that recently a farmer
living near Denison dropped into one
of our stores with a basked of eggs
and sold them at the market price;
the merchant to pay half cash, the
balance in trade. The granger got
his cash and took the trade part in
eggs, and took them to another store,
receiving cash for them, and then
trucked home with all cash for bis
Dr. Prentice’s office at Binkley
House, Sherman, Tex., has been
crowded with hundreds of patients
since hia arrival there. Many suffer-
ing'from catarrh, cross eyes, piles,
fissure, etc., have been cured by his
late and peculiar treatment. He is
so thronged that he has been obliged
to prolong his stay until March 26.
Having, appointments after that date
he will positively leave. Ttfose hav-
ing need of the services of an exper-
ienced physician and surgeon, who
have failed to obtain relief with
others, would do well to call on the
doctor and get his opinion.
There is something so particularly
disgusting in an article in the New
York World relating to Miss Jennie
Chamberlain, the American beauty,
that sensible people cannot Help but
be impressed by it. The article in
question states, with great apparent
satisfactiap, that “Miss Chamberlain
has just returned from England
where the Prince of Wales was per-
fectly devoted to her, khe having
made a complete captive of him by
her beauty, and althought she comes
so late that New York society will
have little chance to see her, yet
many small entertainments will prob-
ably be arranged in her honor.’1
What an atrocious degredation must
New York society have reached
when the fact of a young woman
having attracted the attention of a
dissipated roue such as the prince of
Wales is known to be, is a reason
for entertainments in her honor. In
this country when a woman attracts
the “devotion” of a married man,
she probably has received it half
.way and is so adjudged. New York
society needs a dose of
of purification.
JAILED BY HAOTMEY.
a L Gibson, of Austin, Minnesota, Ar
rested is This City.
A short time ago a good looking
and rather dressy young man came
to this citV, calling himself Frank
Smith; but this name did not agree
with his asthetic sentimentsit was
too common for one whose general
make-up was dudish. So he threw
it aside and assumed thst of C. H.
Fletcher. Then be sought and ob-
tained employment at the ice fac-
tory and all went well with him.
It seems, however, that the young
man's real name is C. I. Gibson and
that he is wanted in Austin, Minne-
sota, for- embezzlement and other
ci imes of dishonesty.
Deputy United States Marshall
Hackney was the first officer to spot
the young man. It appears that
Gibson's uncle had written him a
letter, advising him to keep off the
railroads and go on to Mexico, that
Pinkerton’* detectives were after
him. Instead of destroying this let-
ter the young man kept it, and by
some hocus-pocus art, Hackney got
a peep at its contents. But the let-
ter contained no names, hence it
took Tige the second some time to
work up the case, but he finally did
so, and Friday night arrested and
jailed Mr. Gibson.
The young man was greatly sur-
prised when arrested, but soon re-
covered from the shock and resigned
himself to the pressure of the situa-
tion. On his person 'were found a
number of letters clearly identifying
him. Among them was a letter
from Miss K B., of Austin, Minne-
sota, whom, it seems, Gibson had
greatly wronged; yet he had confi-
dence enough in her friendship or
honor to write to her. She replies,
and tells him he should not take
such a risk, but declares that she
will never give him away. She de-
plores the fact of his disgrace and
the disgrace he brought on his aged
father, mother, brother and sisters,
and urges him to go to a Catholic
church, confess and repent.
Gibson is twenty-six years old.
The authorities at Austin, Minn.,
have been advised of his arrest and
will, it is presumed, be after him in
a few days,
Being desirous to show our spring
styles in dry goods to all ladies who
visit our store on Monday March aa.
we will sell at 25 cents per yard six
pieces Turkey red table linen, 56
inches, worth 75 cents per yard and
50 dozen linen napkins to match the

A8TR0U0MY AID METEOROLOGY.
Montreal Astronomers in Session—The
low Oessot and its Path.
Montreal, Can., Mch 6, 86
The Astro-Meteorological Asso-
ciation (Central Committee) assem-
bled at the residence of Prof. Walter
H- Smith io this city last evening.
The attendance was excellent and
the meeting proved in consequence
one of the best ever held. Secretary
Brown having read the minutes of
last meeting and a new member
been duly elected, President Smith
read half a dozen or more letters,
selected from his numerous corres-
pondence, on the great storm (Feb.
26. to March 3d) of 1886 and the
exact manner in which it had con-
formed to his forecasts.
A long and excellent article on
“Astro-Meteorology,” from honor-
ary member D. Logan, editor of the
Daily Bulletin, Honolulu, Hawaii,
printed in that paper on Feb. nth
was read. It called the attention of
Hawaiian planters to the claims of
“Lunar Influence on Vegetation” as
propounded by the president, and
suggested that local experiments on
the sugar cane and other crops be
made at qnce.
Temperature charts for the year
1885 were shown and examined with
interest.
Papers were read communicated
by Mr. Geo. Taylor, Hammondton,
N. J., on “The Sun’s Distance from
the Earth*’; by Mr. H. A. Clift,
Q. C-, Harbor Grace, Nfld., on “The
Full Moon’s Light Considered in its
Relation to the Local Meteorology
of Newfoundland,” and “The New
Barnard and Fabry Comets,” by the
president, who traced the course of
the latter, which may soon be vis-
ible, since its discovery at Paris, in
the constellation Pisces on Dec. 1st,
to its probable disappearance from
the skies of the southern hemisphere
some months hence. Its right as-
cension last night was stated as aa h.
57 m., declination 37* 28' N. or be-
low Scheat Pegasi. Crossing the
equator on March 25, it was expected
to be bright in south latitudes. A
chart of its course was shown.
The subject of “Discoveries on
Saturn at the Past. Opposition” next
came up, when the president stated
that, on Jan. 6, three narrow yellow
bands had been seen on the planet’s
southern hemisphere, besides a new
faint dusky streak through the middle
of the white equatorial belt. No new
satellite has been discovered so far
as he had learned.
By request, Prof. Smith gave ob-
ject lessons explanatory of “The
Seasons and their Cause,” the “Pre-
cession of the Equinoxes,” and
“Planetary and Cometary Orbits.”
Refreshments having been handed
around by the ladies present, a short
time was spent in social discourse
and the meeting adjourned.
Persons wishing to communicate
papers on astronomical or meteoro-
logical subjects should write to Prof.
Smith, 31 Arcade street, Montreal,
Can., or the editor of the Sunday
Gazkttker. S.
APRIL WEATHER H TEXAS,
As Oaloalsted by Prof. Smith far tbs
. Gassttear.
Prof. Walter H. Smith, of Mont-
real, Can., sends the following spe-
cial forecast to the G azkttkkr :
April 1886 promises to be a fairly
favorable month, takea as a whole.
Opening cold and white in the north
there will be cool rains south and
south-west, with a marked cool term
covering the “borrowed days,” due,
doubtless, to the interception of solar
heat at this period by a dense stream
of meteors passing between the orbit
of the earth and the sun, near the
latter. The April storms will be
long drawn out, and cover several
days. Cold “northers” unaccom-
panied by rain will likely injure the
fruit trees and early vegetation in
southern sections. In fact there will
be considerable inconvenience ex-
perienced owing to these cold, un-
healthy blasts. Tornadoes are not
improbable in tornado sections, elec-
tric storms elsewhere. Yet the
month, as I said before, will be fairly
favorable, because, interspersed with
these cold terms, I look for periods
of very pleasant, advanced spring,
even summer-like weather, very fav-
orable to the agriculturist. Precipi-
tation: in Texas below mean.

Proceedings of the Virginia Branch of
the A*tro-meteorological Association.
The third monthly meeting of the
Virginia branch of the Astro-meteor-
ological Association was held at Dale
Enterprise, Va., on Saturday, March
6th, 18S6. House called to order at
2 o’clock p. m., Vice-pres. L. J.
Heatwole presiding. After the usual
routine work, the subject of “Halo*
and Circles” about the sun and
moon, was taken upu An essay read
on the subject by Mr. D. A. Taylor
of this branch was followed by a pro-
longed, though interesting discus-
sion, in which Messrs. Brunk, Suter,
Heatwole and others took a leading
part. The halo and circle- it was
said, is an indicative of foul weather
and is always located comparativelv
near the observer in the stratum of
moisture floating in the atmo-phere,
and not about the luminaiy itself as
is generally supposed. Mention was
made of a remarkable phenomenon
of this kind seen on Dec. 15. last, at
Hollidaysburg, Pa., and other points
in that state, in the shape of a mag-
nificent and vivid bow over the sun.
just as it sank below the horizon.
By request, Vice-pres. L. J. Heat-
wole read his essay on “The March
of Science,” which recently appeared
in the Huntington Advocate.
. On motion the meeting adjourned
to convene again on the first Satur-
day in April.
