We lip the following from the Lou
isville Journal. Whether founded on
fact or merely u sketch of fancy, it is
rich production, and if the reader is
fond OF hearty laugh, we commend it
to his perusal. Prentice has been laugh
ing al the Astronomers Of Cincinnati
for some time, and having exhausted
all the amusement 10 be extracted from
them, he now mounts the editor Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
AN ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION
Brough, ef the Cincinnati Enquirer,
went few ghts ago to look through
the big Cincinnati telescope He took
his seat and began his astronomical
observations There were several gen
tleman standing near him, who were
greatly edited by the running commen-
tery he kept up on what he saw. He
recoiled from the telescope after he
had looked into it a moment. and swore
ne saw the ugllest thing ever made
Again, he looked and said: 81 see some
thing that looks like man-no it's more
like a baboon dressed up in human
clothes. It's got ears as big as old
Smiths jackass. Jehu! what an ugly
mouth; it looks as if it had fed on moth
ing but green persimmons and horse
radlSh for month. It's eyeids keep
falling down as if it was afraid to look
an honest man in the face. One eye
squints, and the other jumps obout like
u pea on hot shovel The critters
bumps are awful, the ly ing bump sticks
out like a wen, and the stealing bumI
is SO big that he'd make a mighty bad
customer for bank, III swear that il
that is the man in the moon I'm looking
at, the old follow had better wear g
mask. "Mr. Mitchell - continued
Brough," taking his eyes from the tel

F.; moon!"
As Brough very innocen:ly put thi
, interrogation to the Professor, tn
whole company, which had been con
yulsed with laughter while listening t.
the editors brilliant astronomical re
marks, roared aloud. For FIVE minutes
there stood Brough looking as vacan
as an apple dumping at the uprorious
astronomers, wondering what the devil
r had got into the fellows. At length
one of the company having become
Y sufficiently composed said -''Why
S Brough, you are hoaxed."
: Hoaxed!" repeated Brough, look
: ing as fiat as one OF his own editorial
"Yes, hoaxed," replied the astrono
r mer. "You have been looking at your
self"
; And this was true, for some wag ha
slipped looking glass into the tube
= and poor Brough, instead of describing
the man in The moon, had given pref
II ty faithful descr. ption of his own ap
pearance. He pulled his hat dow
over his ugly eyes, rammed his fist
; into the depths of his brooches pockets
and, hanging his head in his usual way
: left the observatory muttering curse
against astronomers, telescopes, an
men in the moon.
