brother and sisters, relatives and large circle OF
friends, to whom he was endeared by his cheerful
obedience as q son, warm hearted affection as a
brother, and his high-t0ned gentlemanly bearing as
companion and friend. Therefore

Mr.. Vircent has s21 majority-iust pine less
than Mr.. Maris! The opposition of Ecery Euen-
ing is said to have helped him. II not, it seems
that the efforts of his newsI aper opponent cost
h n, altogether, just nine votes which he hard
y misses. as he has over eight hundred to spare.
We think Eoe'y Ec1itng said something, on
Monday to the, elfect that il it was not the most
Influential paper in the State it was at least true
that no other could be said to have more iuhu-
enco. With great Difference, We feel obliged to
hops that this view may be incorrect. In the
light Of yesterdays result the reflection on the
newspapers of the state would be too severe if
Eeery EUening conclusions were true. II 1t is
possible that no newspaper in the State can af-
feet the casting Of more than nine uOtes. in a
total poll Of fonr thousand three hundred, we
shall have to moderate the pretensions of jour-
nalistic influence.

They say that the chief astronomer at the
Washington Observatory was dreadfully sold a
few-days ago. A wicked boy, whose Sunday
school experience seems only to have made him
more depraved, caught FREELY and stuck it,
with the aid OF some mucilags, in the centre of
the largest lens in the telescope. That night,
when the astronomer went to work, he perceived
blaze of light, apparently in tue heavens, and
what amazed him more WAS that it would give a
couple of spurts and then die out. only to burst
forth again in a second or two. He examined it
carefully for few moments, and then began to
do sums to discover where in the heaven that
extrao binary star was placed.
He thought he found the locality, and the next
morning he telegraphed all over the universe
that he had discovered new and remarkable
star of the third magnitude in Orion. In day
or two all the astronomers in Europe and Amer
lea were studying Orion, and they gazed at it for
hours until they were mad, and then they began
to telegraph to the man in Washington to know
what he meant. The discoverer took another
look and found that the new star had moved
about eighteen billion miles in twenty-four hours,
and upon examining it closely he was alarmed to
perceive that it had legs
When he went on the dome next morning TO
polish up his glass he found the lightning bug.
People down at Alexandria. seven miles distant,
heard part of the swearing and they say he in
fused into 1t much whole-souled sincerity and
vigorous energy. The bills for telegraphic dis
patches amounted 90 600 and now the astrono-
mer wants to find that boy. He wishes to CON
suit with him about something. Mar Adeler.

Making Combs OF Skate-Straps.

A bird that spends much of his time
on factory roofs tells us that folks are
beginning to make buttons, combs,
door knobs, cups, canes and all sorts
OF things out of leather. They chemi-
calize it, he says, chip it up, and dis
solve it in certain fluids till it is pulp.
Then they make it into useful articles
By pressing it into moulds of the re
quired shape. When they take it out
of the moulds it is hard and tough.
Then they polish it's surface in some
way, and the articles are ready for sale.
So, my dears, you may comb your
hair with your skate-straps, button
your clothes with your boots, drink
out of old pocket books, and use a
WORKOUT harness for our Walking
stick.
