of Three Men in the Moon


Some time since there occurred near
Los Angeles, California, most str ange
and unaccountable phenomenon. de,
scribed as "shower of blood, flesh ana
hair.n No explanation of the cause has
ever been made, unless the following,
purporting to be communication from
the Spirit World, be accepted as such.
The story is certainly piece of inge-
nious aud plausible "Moonshine."
The moon, although it appears to man
black and descrt, as a recent volcanic
flow of lava, and is subject to great
yicissitudes of climate, is Inhabited by
beings adapted to the soil and climate.
Being destitute of the dense atmosphere
that shrouds the earth, they are light
and beautiful in form, aud breathe the
cold, pure ether; consequently, their
nervous organization is more acute, and
they possess y higher order of intelli-
gence than the Inhabitants of the earth.
Their clothing consists of soft downy
hair, and their subsistence is of light
;erial character, such as is produced by
our satellite. Having no immediate at
mosphere to obstruct the vision, our
earth appears much nearer to them
than the moon appears to us, and to o
spectator in that arid orb, the earth re-
sembles a mist covered island In the
blue empyrean.
The philosophers OF the moon have
long been anxious to visit our earth, and
various experiments have been tried,
and various voyages have been under.
taken, but as yet without any result and
only attended with disastrous conse-
quences. Being light in their organiza-
ton, they have only to overcome the
sli ght grsvitation which attaches to the
moon, and they can soar unobstructed
until they encounter the earth's atmos.
phere. BY its pressure and the force of
gravitation they ara Invariably torn TO
pieces and their remains are showered
and scattered over the earth's surface.
The phenomenon near Los Angeles
was caused by the destruction of three
savans of the moon who had made one
of these voyages of discovery. 1t is but
q repetition of what has frequently hap
peued upon the earth's surface-indeed
much more frequent than man imagines,
and as long as curiosity and thirst for
scientific discovery exists in our satellite,
it will be repeated. To the moons in
habitants the earth is bourne whence
no traveller returns, and until they in
vent sone means to overcome tho earth's
atmospheric pressure. they. will never
succeed in comparing notes with our
philosophers. ~...t

NEXT April they will have an Indus
trial Exhibition at Cordova, Argentine
Repablic. 1t is proposed to have the
Government furnish our manufacturers
a vessel, free, to carry over articles for
exhibition. 1t is more than likely that
some "loyap rascal who makes profes-
sion of economy the cover for private
stealing will obj ct. on the score that
the prop0siinr involves an unwarranted
expenditure OF public funds. But if the
idea were to fit out another Tallapoosa
expedition to carry a gang of Govern
ment bummers on some junketing and
frolicing tour, we should not hear of the
slightest opposition. It's all right to
squander the public funds in enabling
a lot Of registering Radicals to splurge
and spree in splUud"r, bat spending the
peoples money for tue encouragement
of any branch of industry is not to be
thought Of for moment.

wos,en in Politics in MassachuseIts.

In Worcester, Massachusetts,, three
women appeared at the polls last week,
and claimed the right to vote. 4 vote
was cast in Worcester for State ticket
headed by woman, and she Miss Anna
Shaw Greene, the wife of Colonel
Greene, and daughter of-the late Robert
G. Shaw, Of Boston. Senator Munroe,
of Roxbury, who voted against woman
suffrage at the last session, was nearly
defeated by the vigorous action of the
women. Mrs. Lane, Of lynn, the head
of the woman's branch of the labor re-
form organization, with two other
women, enlisted in Munroe's district in
Colonel Greene's behalf, ard not only
1canvassed itbeforeband, but distributed
votes at the polls, one at each Of the
three principal voting places.

To Try-outEard.

A farmers mode of trying leaf lard,
one which produces few scraps, is to
add to every ten pounds of rough lard q
tablespoonful of salaratus during the
process of trying-out. We have tried
the experiment, and can speak from our
own experience. In trying-out seven
pounds of lard there was less than a
quarter of pound of scrap waste.

To Purify Lard from Salt, which it
often contains, and which is sometimes
added to increase its weight, it is only
necessary to melt it with two or three
times its weight of boiling water, and
when still in 0 liquid state, agitate it
we'll and set il aside to cool. When lard
is wanted for ointments or pomades, it
is always desirable to freeit from all
traces of salt. #E.E

The entire New York custom house
frauds are estimated at $500, 900. They
were committed during 1S66-7-8. The
principal offender has not yet been ar
rested and his name is withheld. 1t
appears that few weeks ago William
j. Korn and William II. Winnested were
arrested on the charge of being engaged
in the frauds. Korn made statement
duplicating Blatchford, Romaine, Multi
gar, and three brothers named Caldwell.
The District Attorney demanded docu-
mentary evidence against men from the
Treasury Department., and on Tuesday
papers were brought in. The guilt of
Blatchford depends upon the genuine
ness Of his initials upon drawback
claims. The examination of Mulligan
was adjourned till to-day owing to the
absence Of District Attorney Pierrepont.

Two hundred German immigrants have
Just landed at New Orleans, proposing
to find permanent homes in Louisiana.
Almost every Southern State is recelv-
ing valuable accessions To its popuia-
ton from abroad. Tennessee received
no immigration under the BRowNLow
Government, but since the late "let-up"
election in that State, the tide of the
home hunting population has turned in
the direction OF her bsrders. West Nir-
ginia is still shunped by the immigrant.
Let us hope that our new Legislature,
by abolishing our proscriptive legisla-
tion, will prove that our people are not
afraid 20 trust each other. and are there
fore to be trusted and settled among by
outsiders.

WE notice that two or three sore
headed Radical papers are growing at
Professor PERRY, the Free Trade Lee
turer. They charge him with being in
the pay of British manufacturers.
When English Asolitionists sent their
emissaries through the South to incite
negro instructions, papers of this same
class had no fault to find. But the
safety of Southern homes was Of much
less consequence to them than the pre-
servation of the profits of New England
factories. 1t was all right for English
"philanthropists" to stir mp the blacks
to all sorts of violence, but it's all
wrong for English agents to tell the
people about Yankee swindles.
