THE SHOWER OF STARs.-A Maiden cores
pondeut OF the Boston Journal believing in
the probability of another grand star shower
like that of 1898, on the night of Nov. 1914
this year, wishes the public attention more
generally called TO the subject, that II greater
number of observers may be on the lookout
He says: m 5.5. ..i-e G5-4te4
That these great star showers are periodic is
placed beyond question, by their regular re-
currence on certain dates and at certain inter-
walls OF the four great November showers,
falling like rain in a rain storm, in the lifetime
of the present generation, two OF them, which
were visible only from the eastern continent,
occurred--the first on the 18th of November,
1892; and the second on the 14th Of November.
iS66-iust thirty-four years and one day apart.
The two which We're seen in America occurred
the first on the 10Th of November, 1899; and
the second on the 18th Of November, 1888; and
these also were just thirty-four years and one
day apart and all occurred ON the nights of
the 12th-14th of November There is, there
fore mach reason to lool; for u third grand
shower in America at the end of another peri
cd OF thirty-four years and one day-that is,
on the night of November 18th 14th, 1867, or
thereabout. And, as the great shower of 1882,
which was seen only on the eastern continent,
was followed the next year, 1888 by greater
one in America, so the grand shower of 1866
ON the eastern continent may be followed by n
grander one in America in 1867.

To the Forenaen Of Printing Offices an lioine:
Gentsehse'l:-A movement has been on foot
for sometime to raise funds for monument TO
be erected to "Artemus Ward" the printer
lecturer and humorist. Money has been cheer
fully contributed by the craft in this and 9TH
er States, but as yet, has not been deposited.
In the name Of the "Arternus Ward Monu-
ment Association" of which have been chos-
en- an officer, appeal to the foremen of the
different printing offices of Maine Wards ma
tive State) to send in their "mitc' to Mr.. E. H.
rElwell, editor of the Portland Transcript, ana
Treasurer for this State, as soon as possible.
1t is well known that Artemus Ward left his
property for the benefit of printers, and am
quite sure, as one of them, that this generous
hearted class of our people would see that the
"Gente Humorist," oar hum0rist, has the same
regard paid to his memory at home as has been
paid abroad. E--
Receipts of donations will appear in the col

buildings are going up on both sides of the

almost impossible for pedestrian, particularly

Testimony OF Gen. Grant.

The testimony of Gen. Grant before the u-
dietary committee has been published 1t
shows that while there was originally differ
ence Of opinion between the President and hin.
self on two points in the amnesty proclamation
excepting the military leaders Of the rebellion
and the $4,000 clause-and which seems to
have been modelled after the views at first en-
tertained by the President that the leaders of
the rebellion should be punished and treason
made Odlous, yet, subsequently, Gen. Grant
conceded that The President was nearer right
than himself in reference to the $40. 900 cause
although he (Gen. Grant, still continued to ad,
here TO his opinion that so long as the Conted-
crate officers and soldiers observed the condi-
tons Of their aro,e to otey the laws OF the
United States, they should be protected from
arrest and trial To this conviction Of Gen
Grant the President, few months after the
North Carolina proclamation OF May 29th; 1865,
also came. Since that period, the magnani
nous and patriotic policy of forgiveness and
reconciliation has been the great distinguishing
characteristic OF the President administration,
and Gen. Grant appears to have been in accord
with him in endcavoring, by wise cirlncncy,
to heal up the wounds and restore the integrity
of the nation.
In regard to the North Carolina prOclama
tons, Gen. Grant states that it was continual
ton Of the project submitted by MIR. Lincoln.
and that they were substantially the same pa
Der. if not the very same. Gen. Grant says
that he himself suggested 40 plan Iorcivii gov
eminent, but he wanted u see some civil gov
eminent established in the South, though he
looked upon the proclamation as simply a tenn
porary measure, till Congress should meet and
settle the whole question. Altogether, the te:-
timony o! Gen. Grant seems to Lave been very
pqu;nt, and he sometimes answers questions.
as If he conceived the committee t. be putting
him to Il needless particuIarity He is no wise
slow as TO taking the responsibility Of his agcn-
cy in procuring the rardons OF Confederate gen.
! erals.
The testimony Of judge Chase and Attorney
General Speed is mainly as to the delays i'll the
the trial of Mr.. Davis, and it docs not a. pear
that the President has been inimlcal to it at
any time. Secretary Seward teStIfcs that the
President desired Mr. Davis trial. The Iestl-
| mony Of the other witnesses we must permit TO
speak for itself. -Buh. ,SuA.
