Tho Phenomenal Season.

From tile New York Commercial Advertiser
Theorists who contend that the
earth is gradually changing its
place in the solar system, that wan-
dering bodies are becoming our
close ncighbors, and that the sun
itsclfis undergoing marked changes,
are no longer to be derided. There
is some sort Of foundation for the
general belief that something of an
extraordinary character has hap
pcned somewhere; ordinary causes
being quite incapable of producing
the phenomena which have made
Nature so unnatural since the be-
ginning Of the present month. Tn.
usually carly and brilliant auroral
displays, repeated and vivid electri-
cal discharges which are not forks
but solid sheets of flame, copious
and continued down-pours OF rain,
extreme heat by day and night
without a moments ihtermission,
all 20 to prove that the mcteorologi-
cal conditions Of our planet are ad
nornaI-Why they are so, not even
the astronomers and chemists can
vet tell. All we know is the fact,
and very uncomfortable it is to
know that fact. Perhaps there is y
wise man among the ranks of the
sQy4o$ who can read the meaning
OF the present mystery, and whose
reputation is yet TO be made through
careful analysis and lucid explana-
/ ton; but he has not appeared, and
so long as he lies dormant we CON
tinuo IL roast and to wonder, With
out the ability to explain the roast
ing process, or TO find the clue
to an extraordinary puzzle. The
Italian astronomer Taechini, whose
discovery Of magnesium vapors
around the sun we announced three
days ago, hes employed the spectre
scope with singular advantage in
his recent observations Of solar phe-
nomena, ana it is likely that through
the use Of that wonderful instru-
ment the ultimate solution Of some
Of the puzzling problems of astron-
omy will be obtained. Ii, as lac

Ncttic is mraried and SO is Ale
gra, but | am not. Lately Nettie's
husband has moved to Albany and
last winter she wrote for me to visit
her. of you will let me know when
you are coming, | will meet you at
the depot" she wrote, "but if you
do not write, take q carriage and
drive to No. -"
1t was quite late when l left the
ears and handed my checks to the
driver into whose carriage got
1t was too dark to see distinctly
who my companions were, but .
little girl was talking gayly to her
father, and very soon included me
in her conversation. care you 60
ing to our house, too?" she asked,
laying her hand on my arm.
Lucille, you must not talk to
strangers; it is very rude, my dear,
said her father, drawing her back
beside him.
The driver mounted his box and
we ratified out upon the brilliantly
lighted streets. The glare of the
lamps lit up our carriage, and op-
posite me sat Mr.. A.! He was little
changed--ten years older, of course,
but l knew him instantly. My veil
was drawn, and so thick that even
the sharp eyes Of little Lucille-my
namesake, | felt sure-could not see
my face.
What ought I to do? If l lifted
my veil, would he know me? Ought
/ not then and there tell him all?
But l had no chance, for our ride
was short, and in a few moments
our carriage halted before an ele
giant home. "There is mamma in
the window, papa, watching for us;
and baby is there, too" Lucille
cried as she pressed her face against
the crystal side Of the carriage.-
With a pleasant ''good night" from
each, they left me out in the dark,
tired and cold; where | sat stupidity
staring after them. The wide hall
door opened (while servant came
out for the luggage) and | saw him

them.

this bad presage from the first the
unreasoning, ugly obstinacy which
followed was, of course, enough to
blast every hope, and almost undo
everything that has been done.
These are specimens only. But
the Whole history Of the United

by tinged throughout by the per-
sonal qualities Of the Presidents

Character Of Presidents.
from Old and New for September.

From Old and New for September.
But the personal qualities of our
candidates for the Presidency have
always been most freely discussed
during Presidential campaigns.
They always will be, must be, and
ought TO be.
The President is not the most
noisy branch OF our Government;
aud there has been, in accordance
with well known law in the ply
siology of constitutional govern
ments, a decided tendency in the
representative branch TO be much
more visible and audible than the
executive, and also to acquire, more
or less indirectly, any accessible
bits of executive power. Probably,
therefore, the real extent OF the sort
Of fpersonal executive influence now
referred to (which does not include
the dangerous and undesirable de
partment of official patronagc) may
be freshly illustrated to most people

But | could only hold the black

The MoSr GEMS TUSNEL.-The
advantages Of this undertaking. it is
reported, are not fully realized, In
consequence Of the misconduct Of the
directors on the French portion Of the
line Of railroad from Paris to Turin.
The journey from Paris to Modsne Is
interrupted by vexatious stoppages,
and on approaching Modane the speed
of the trains Is reduced below that Of
n small coach, and no dependence can
be placed upon arriving at the schedule
time. On the Italian side the traveller
Is taken to Turin at full speed. The
obnoxious course Of the French com
pany Is said to have its origin In n
desire to keep the receipts rs low as
possible, and so reduce the profits
according to which the payments In
purchaee Of the old Victor Emanuel
line Of railroad are to be calculated.
