The Tg2teoric Shower.

Astronomers lave s2ch a good under
standing with the straight forward. well
behaved heavenly bodies that aGy "enter-
tainment" which they advertise for them
comes off precisely "on the dot" But
meteors are eriatic, fee and easy chaps;
they don't keep their engagements; are
fond Of going off on tangent; regular
celestial bummers, in fact; and when the
astronomers give the cue to "enter' and
perform their parts, they are, very likely,
making an unceremonious exit from some
breezy locality thousands Of miles distant.
So the managers Of the show get bowed,
especially as the audience sit up all night
to see the program carried out. The pop
ular faith in astronomers, however, ought
not to be Withdrawn, because Of the failure
of the meteoric shower promised for last
week. All that they pretended to say
was that history shows that these great
showers have long occurred at intervals of
33 or "a years OIbcrs and some Others
astronomers say that the real period is 81
years and as the last great display occurred
in 1888, the next is not due till 1867.
The number Of meteors which were seen
last week is rather larger than usual in the
second week in November, when more are
always visible than at other time in the
year Observers at New York saw 64O
between 10 and u o'clock, Wednesday
night, few of which were quite brilliant
The New York Herald prints dispatch,
to come through the cable from
Greenwich observatory, England, which
saws that 5000 meteors were seen there in
one hour, Tuesday evening, and y 600
during the night. Some of them were
very splendid and nearly all had trails Of
fire. These statements may be confirmed
by the steamers, a week hence. but the
.'caJlo telegram" reads very much as if it
was written in the Herald otiice.-SPrjng-

COPPERHEAD.-In the new unabridged
Websters Dictionary the following defini-
ton of Copperhead is given. 1t is worth
preserving as specimen of the accuracy
of the term. We give it verbatim ct lit
erotum. The following will be found on
page 292:
COPPERHEAD (hed), ~ From its
color /. (Herp.) A poisonous Ameri-
can serpent, the Trigonocephalus contor-
trirj;-calIed also copper-belI and red
viper
2. A Northern sympathizer with the
Southern rebellion. u S.
Again on page 1854, of the same work,
devoted to explanations, we find the def
milton more at length, as follows:
COPPERHEAD.-A popular nick
name originating at the time Of the great
civil war in the United States, and applied
to faction in the North, which was very
generally considered to be in secret sympa-
thy with the Rebellion, and to give it aid
and comfort by attempting to tnwart the
measures of the Government The name
is derived from a poisonous serpent called
the Copperhead, (Trigonocrphalns con-
tortrir) whose bite is considered as deadly
as that of the rattlesnake; and whose geo.
graphical range extends from 48 degrees
n. to Florida. The Copperhead, unlike
the rattlesnake, gives no warning Of its at
tack, and is, therefore, the type Of con-
cealed foe.
A very lucid explanation, and proves
conclusively, that the name is very appro-
priately applied to the Sham Democracy
or red vipers. History is certainly indebt-
ed to Webster for his mastery analysis of
the word.- Vest Branch Bulletin.

THE NEXT House OF REPRESENTA-
TIvEs.-The result of the congressional
elections in 1864 showed total of l3O
republicans to SO democrats, and in the
elections held this year the republicans
have 128 members to 35 democrats. But
as, of those elected as republicans in 1864,
seven, Smith, Rousseou, and Randall
Kentuckv, Noel of Missouri, Latham and
WhaIey Of West Virginia, and Phelps of
Maryland, have in reality gone over to the
opposition, the republicans have actually
gained five members in the recent cleo
tions-six the Tribune says, CHASING Mr..
Raymond among the deserters in the pres
ent Congress, thus making their number
eight. The democrats are quite likely to
make some gains in the elections to be held
next year, though if Colorado and Ne
bra>ka are admitted, the members, from
these states will make up for REPUBLICAN
losses elsewhere. In several districts, a'so
where democrats are now said to be elected,
contesting republicans stand a good chance
to get the seats ultimately, SO that in no
event will the republican supremacy in the
next House of Representatives be weaker
than in the present, and is quite likely to
be stronger

Negro Suffrage.
WASHINGTON, Noy. IA.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA, 1866.
The movement of leading Democratic
newspapers in the East and West in favor
of impartial suffrage has caused a decided
sensation in Washington, especially among
officials and Southern men. The latter
declare that the South will accept impair
tial suffrage in preference to ratifying the
Constitutional Amendment. A well-known
New Orleans editor now here, favors it,
and the Hon. ". H. Trescott OF South
Carolina, who was an officer Of the Con
federate Government, and formerly Assist
ant Secretary of State under Buchanan,
arrived here to-day, and says South Caro-
lima prefers it to the Amendment. 1t is
rumored to-Hight that the President@wiII
recommend universal amnesty for impair
tial suffrage, in his forthcoming message.
The Chicago Times contains substan,
italy the above.

With Gen. Sherman and Lew Campbell
to represent us in Mexico, there will be a
fright smart chance of getting the coun-
try into scrape down there. Discretion
is not a conspicuous virtue with either of
the two; and if they find a fair opening
for putting US into embarrassing complica-
tions in that quarter, we may feel qnite
sure they will seize it. Our security lies
in the probability that, just now, everybody
down there will be in frame of mind to
do just what we may suggest they should
do. Surely, Macmillan and the French
will only be too glad of a hint from us to
move quickly, if not already gone; and as
to the parties left behind, we cannot be-
Ieve any one of them is strong enough to
oppose the Juarez party, against our ad,
vice and discouragement. But we shall
feel a good safer from danger, when these
two men, who sailed from New York last
Saturday, get back home again.

Thus it will rest with the people to

building will be an honor TO the city and
do more to enhance the price of property
than any other public work ever begun

The Board is entitled TO the thanks of
