A LkcTuRE.-Yes, it is Q lecture. Uncle
Samuel is q very mild about it, Just as little
csstigatory as possible, but it is lecture after
oil. What is it ell abouts Well, know We
then that there was handsome pyramid of
kisses at the Templar's Banquet the other
looking product of ladies' hands, and that
handsome pyramid was passed over BY Ms
without one word Of specific praise. Now,
that wasn't expected ofus. We should have
ssddled and bridled aud mounted our SPAWN.
ed Pegasus and cantered of Paruaaus- xard,
or at least have INDUCED in our most sunshiny
and saccharinistic prose, having that pyramid
for our inspiration, but we did nothing Of the
kind. Then doth ssUncle Samuel" rekind-
ling the fires ola gallantry that burned bright
lyin the days of ''Auld Lang Syne, read this
homiIy unto his junior nsmesske, and make
reflections upon kisses and pyramids and sun
dies-and he is at liberty to do SO whenever
it pleaseth him, and instead of feeling ag-
grieved at his lecturings, increased gratif,
cation and delight rather" shall be ours
Ma. EDITox:-I am astonished at the want
OF interest manifested by our city papers in the
welfare of this place. Thus allowing such
golden opportunities pass MS that Pyramid of
Kisses at that banquet, (which, by the way.
had very shabby notice itself, considering
what might have been made of it, properly
handled).
The lady who designed the pyramid, had,
no doubt, Judging from our own experience, J
q vivid recollection of one particular kiss, and
erected this IS a monument to its memory.
1t was a poe cal thought as well as sweet. Be
tha, as it mey, it was the duty of the newspa-
per reporters to have seized it, like hungry
bloodhounds, and made it represent the plen-
tifulness Of the article here. Such glad
tidings would have thrilled through the wiry
veins Of old Massachusetts with electric speed,
and thousands Of her population which never
had . kiss since they were babies, would be
poured into our city, and as Q consequence
the manufacturing capital would have to fol-
low, as we would have all their spinsters
Then our "twelve miles of continuous water
power would no longer run to waste. Be-
sides, we would receive the thanks of Congress
for relieving the Government of the expense
Of transporting the "surplus portion to Ore
gon, for we could hold them in reserve for
wives for that army of laborers which would
come to build the bridge across the Missis-
sippi. The thought Of this loss, and the
fngid unsentimentalized condition the war
has left the hearts of the people in, is, to me,
really distressing. Why, when was young,
the thought of half a pyramid ofkisses would
have set our whole neighborhood into frenzy.
Such was the estimation in which they were
held, that the young folks were in the habit
of inventing plays in all our social parties, in
which the penalty was kiss and you may
be sure we were all losers but here you are
all just as formal and cold as CLAIMS.
USCLE SAMUEL.

have been; and there evidently is no limit to
their size either in history OF in science, for
the laws which govern the movement Of every

A BRILLIANT DISPLAY SEEN on THE NORTH COAST
OF CUBA.
The editor Of the Matanzas (Cuba) Licio
on the nights of November, 1913, counted
thiftynine bright meteors; the majority of
them between the hours of ! and 2, AM On
the nights of November 1914 The num-
Der observed was much greater, being three
hundred and forty in all
Their appearance was as follows: From 6
TO P. NJ. two meteors, with trails four degrees
long, one of six degrees, and one with no
trail Between 8 and P. M one meteor,
with luminous trail covering seven degrees.
From to 10 NJ two meteorS, without trails,
and one with six degrees Of a luminous
emanation. From 10 to Up NJ 10 meteors,
eight Of which had trails covering from two TO
ten degrees of space; some Of these meteors
were very red in color. Between IL and 12
r Il. there appeared ten meteors similar to the
preceding. From ~ to | A. NJ thirty-six
made their appearance, many Of them Of first
magnitude, and some of them lasting one or
two seconds-some even longer. Between
and 2 A. NJ. siXty-hve meteors appeared: from
to 3, eighty-one. Some of these were very
brilliant; four of them started from the star
gamma Leonis. Between 3 and one hun
dred and eleven appeared, of which nine were
from the Lion. Between and $50 a. NJ. sew
enteen appcared-one from the constellation
Lion.
On the nieht of November Ais we counted
one hundred and twenry-eight between the
hours of 7 P. NJ. and A. N. The editor OF
the Lcio promises TO give a detailed account
OF these meteors in future article. He con-
eludes by saying: "For the presentit sufices
to say that we have had the good fortune of
seeing the great shower. Most probably the
heavy shower passed over us in daytime, SO
that we caught a glimpse merely Of the end
Of the shower on the morning of November
n. However, from the data afforded this
time, it is proved beyond doubt that the period
Of recurrence is from Foyember ~ to 4. 1t
is likewise known that such showers occur
about November 27 to 90, from December
to II, April % 70 25, July II to &c, and Au-
gust 70 a." In making the observations
above recorded Senior Prcsas was assisted by
Senores Barnet, Manuel Fobles, Ricardo Cay,
and Placido Gener, and other members Of the
Matanzas yceum.
