The Reveille reports the visit of As
SCISSOR Triplett to the eastern end of the
railroad, where he had +" corralled"
100 Chinese laborers for the purpose
of collecting poll tax. This movement
our contemporary condemns, in .sympa-
thy for the Celestial, inquiring, "What
do these railroad laborers-these nom
voting barbarians-owe the State p
We think they owe the State as much
as any other persons who reside within
it, and it is certainly the duty of the
officers to exact the payment. VIZ only
regret that the movement has been
made so early, as the organization of
White Pine county will undoubtedly
place the locality of the Chinese labor
ers within its limits, and to 1t the tax
will properly be. due. Otherwise we
would commend the enterprise Of the
Lander County Assessor in .'corralling
the non-voting barbarians." Whatever
amount is collected will properly butbng
to the county in whose territory it is
collected, and if in White Pine county
we trust our honest Lander county off,
Gals will keep a strict account of it.

Correspondence OF the N. 4. oriu.J
There is spectacle in the Senate
which ought, perhaps, to receive, but
which oitener repels the com misseration
of those who look upon it. This is the
palsied ,perishing figure Of Parson Brown.
low. As regular as the noon the almost
completely helpless old man is assisted
to bis seat-a hair-cloth easy chair on the
left of the Speaker-in which be reclines,
trembling all over, and constantly, like a
shaken Jelly. Seen from the gallery, his
swsrthy face looks like that of malig.
nant Indian. His lips comfort themselves
unplessautly, and his hands, twitching in
every finger, remind one Of couple Of
spiders crawling over his legs and along
the arms of his chair. Once in while
the right hand makes a tremulous expe-
dHion TO the desk in front. and returns
with a handkerchief dangling between
thumb and fingers. Sometimes, with
great effort, it carries q glass of water
frem the ridge of the desk to the old
mans mouth. Part of the time he sits
with leg hoisted on the corner OF the
desk, or crossed over the opposite knee.
He is never motionless. His eyes see
and his ears attend to all that trans-
pires. Whenever the debate is earnest,
or an interesting question is uppermost-
particularly if it concerns the South, or
his own State of Tennessee--he listens to
it as 1t were through every pore; the big
dark veins on his temples grow bigger
and darker; the desk shakes with the
shaking of bis leg; bis hands clutch We
nomously at his trowsers, and the pecu-
liar writhing of his lips make il appear

Change. I'm the Planet Jupiter.

Astronomers have had peculiar oppor-
tuuities for observing the planet Jupiter
during this year, and especially for the
last two months. Professor John Brown-
ing, in letter to Nature, calls attention
to some curious changes OF color in parts
Of It's surface. "The belts on the planet"
he remarks, "srs more than usually uS-
merous, and they display greater va
rieiy Of colors than have ever yet as
cribed to them. The equatorial lelt,
which has been for years the brightest
part Of the planet, is now not nearly 50
bright as the light belts TO the north aud
south; usually il has been free from
markings; now il is often covered with
markings which resemble piled up Gu
mulus clouds. II has generally been
colorless, shining with Q silver gray or
pearly lustre; now Il is Of n rich, deep
yellow, greatly resembling the color Of
electrotyped gold"
Professor Browning thinks these
changes may be the result q changes in
the planet itself, and invites the atten-
ton Of siereoscopic observers to them.
Asii is generally believed that Jupiter
shines partly 5y his own light. uot merely

The Burdeil Murder.

A correspondent of the New Haven
Lecen thus talks Of the Burdell murder,
his remarks having been called forth by
an article in that paper repeating tbe
old rumors duplicating the late John j.
Eckel in the matter
Anybody and everybody who knew
John j. Eckel knew it was not in his ma
ture to commit any such deed as was al
tributed to him, or even to countenance
in any wise or shape such an enormity.
He was generous TO fault, and, although
fond Of ladies' society, he was the last
man Mrs. Cunningham could have in
dueed to second her in her design on
Burdell, even had she been guilty OF
comprising that mans death, which is
now rendered more than ever improb-
able, as it was not her interest that
Burdell should die. Burdelps record
YVES never truly given to the pub
lie. He was the meanest vaga-
bond in New York. He cheated his
brother Johr's wife out of all the money
coming to her; he traduced his nephew,
the son of hs brother, who came to New
York 10 practice dentistry, and sue
ceeded in driving the young man to Cali
fornis, simply because be thought he
might lose some of his patients, the most
of which at that time were .he loose
characters of Church street, then the
fsverite quarters Of the demi monde At
this time he had his Office corner Frank
lin street and Broadway. From thence
he moved up to Bond street. where he
was took off mot by J. j. Eckel-not
by Mrs. Cunningham but by jealous
man who followed him into his den, and,
then and there, McFarlandized him for
taking advsn ntage of his wife, while in his
power, when having her teeth attended
to in his Office, as it was his habit Of
polluting every decent woman he could.
As TO Mrs. Cunningham, she was, no
doubt, an intriguing widow, aud got Bur-
dell in her power, 30 that he had to marry
her, or abide by the result of breach of
promise suit, which was pending.
To avoid this, Burdell privately mar
ried her (which was endeavored to
be saddled on poor Ecke) bat
the intention of Burdell was to put his
property out of his hands aud leave for
Europe, which would leave Mrs. CIu-
ninghsm to make the most she could Of
the private marriage. It was the bogus
baby business which centered all the pab-
lie odium on Mrs. Cunningham. 1t was
assumed by the public that if Mrs. Cum
uingham was guilty of the baby bust
ness sbe was guilty of all; which is
about as correct as the good old lady,
the community, ever reasons upon any
thing. The result was that John Eckel
and Mrs. Cunningham we're damned be-
yond redemption, while the true self
satisfied avenger of his wife was COM
PEELED to keep behind the scenes, regret
ting he could not absolve the innocent no
less than the fact it was not in his power
to have given his victim another stab"
