of Pennsylvania wants us, she would prob
ably be willing to pay something. Virginia
won't give red to keep us, for we are pest-
lent heretics to her creed at best, hence we had
better mako overtures to the former State. The
assumption by Pennsylvania of the debts of the
city of Wheeling, guaranteed by Virginia
amounting to half million-would doubtless
satisfy our old mother and then, if Pennsyl- |
Vania will assume to pay the county and mu- |
nicipal debts of Ohio County, and wipe out the |
private debts of all the citizens, we have no |
doubt but the annexation Of the Panhandle to |
the Keystone Statc would be n matter of very |
easy accomplishment. We would at least sug
gest this mode of settling the question mot, how
ever, with much confidence of its adoption"
THE ASTRONOMER BoND.-wm. c. Bond, the
late director Of the Astronomical Observatory
Mt Cambridge, Mass, was born in 1890. In
1902 he was apprenticed to q matchmaker, and
continued the business of manufacturing
watches for half century. While young
man, he established at Dorchester, Mass, a
private observatory, one of the earliest in the
country. In 1915 Mr.. Bond visited Europe to
discharge a commission from the corporation Of
Harvard College, authorizing him to examine
the observatories there, make plans, and select
instruments for the proposed observatory at
Cambridge. In 1888 he was appointed by the
General Government to conduct series of as
Economical and meteorological observations in
connection with Commodore Wilkes expedi-
ton. In 1889 he accepted the invitation to
superintend the erection and take charge of tho
great Cambridge Observatory. He will, We
suppose, be succeeded at the Observatory by
Mr.. George P. Bond, his distinguished son, and
Associate Director, who has won a reputation
hardly If at all, inferior to that of his father

ONE OF THE oNG-MxDED-Mrs. Lucre-
tia Mott was, on the 9th ult., in Washington
and preached to q crowded audience, fore
noon and afternoon, upon war, slavery, etc.,
etc. She had in the morning many Southern
members of Congress among her audience, but
she spoke with great faithfulness against sla-
very. Her discourse was a most beautiful one,
and the effect was excellent upon the audience.
Most of the persons present probably never
heard an anti-slavery discourse in Washington
before, and many of them never heard one
elsewhere. In the course of her remarks in
the morning, she not only condemned slavery,
but a tariff, arguing that free trade was bene-
fetal to the world. As Seward, of Georgia, was
coming out Of church, some Republican mem
ber asked him, "Well, Seward, how did you
like what the preacher said about slavery?'
"Oh," returns Seward, chow did you like what
she said about free trader" A Roland for an
Oliver, and the slaveholding member, a very
fair, good-natured man, walked laughing out
of the church.-Cor. o. S. Journal.
