A Single Man.

In an article of some of the noted men of a past generation Francis Jacoz says "Dr. Darwin, the grandfather of the great living naturalist, was a strange compound of science and eccen- tricity. He wrote most of his works on scraps of paper with a pencil, as he travelled. His equipage was as odd as his habits. He rode in an old 'sulky,
 with skylight at top, and an awning which could be drawn over it in case of need. The front of the carriage con. tained box for writing paper and pen. oils, knife and fork, and spoon. On one side was huge pile of books. On the other, hamper of fruit and sweet. meats, cream and sugar, which divided the attention of the burly old doctor with the stack of literature. .''~ 'v

Mapping the Stars.

Some time ago, the German astrono- mical society divided the northern heavens into zones of five degrees each, within which all stars up to the ninth magnitude were to be carefully ob- served twice. and their exact positions recorded. Portions of th1s important work were assigned to the observatories in Cambridge and Chicago, that of
 Cambridge being the zone between fifty and fifty-fve degrees, containing be- a work that will require several years for it's execution. The telescope used for this purpose is described as a mar vel of mechanical delicacy and ingenul- ty. It is nine feet in length, with an object glass eight inches in diameter,
 and it is constructed throughout of carefully beaten brass. At each side of the instrument is 8 system of prisms and refectors, together with graduated circles divided into spaces of five de- grees. The figures of the latter are be- lieved to be the finest in tEe world, <, four delicate instruments being used in reading them. These prisms and re- dectors are placed in glass cases, and serve to carry the light from single flame to every point of the telescope where illumination is necessary. By this means, the small wires in the eye piece used for calculating the position of a star, and also the graduated circles from which the degrees are read by the microscopes, are brilliantly lit up; while another series of refectors throws 8 food, of ght over the recording table.
 By the aid of a finding arc, divided into spaces of five degrees, the instrumt nj may be set eleven times in the brief space of one minute, 'at,an equal number degrees ranging from extreme nortE to entreme south. In zone work, where the graduated art is necessarily much shorter, the telescope can be set aE many as twenty two times in minute

A Desperate Hanged.

Sid Wallace, the notorious desperado. was executed at Clarksville, Ark. His neck was broken by the fall, but his pulse continued to beat for twenty minutes afterward. About thirty min utes after the drop fell life was pro- nounced extinct, and the body was cut down and given in charge to his mother. The culprit, who retained his compo- sure to the last, said he would make no confession to man, but had confessed to God. He died, he said, in self-de- fense, and in defense of his friends, and wished he had dozen lives to sacrifice for the same purpose. The arrange ments for the execution were complete. The town was well policed and guard ed, and no attempt was made to rescue the prisoner. Wallace was considered to be great desperado, and is believed to have committed six murders in all. His mother advised him to die game, saying that she had two more sons to fight, and after they were gone she would take up the fight herself.

The following from the Decatur Republican
shows how that journal regards the movement
for straight OF. Democratic ticket this fall.-
IL furthermore exhibits tender spot, caused
by the turning away from the Greeley move, OF
two years ago. OF the Democrats, who had
made the discovery that they were sold then,
and, to get even, they now propose to sell
those Republicans who were foolish enough to
join them. and leave them to travel alone this
time and make an exhibition OF their weakness.
This Is what that journal says:
"a few weeks ago call appeared in the
Hartford Day Sprung, the jealous but indls-
Greet organ OF the straight-out,' stiff backed,
haid-shelP or Bourbon Democrats of two
years ago, calling Democratic County Con-
yention at Paw Paw, for the selection OF dele
gates to State and Congressional Conventions.
The call was not signed by any names or COM
mitteemen or other competent authority, and
there was no response to our inquiry as 10 VINO
'fathered' the thug. The convention was held
Regular delegations we're present from rev
townshlps, and the Convention then invited
all present to participate, and in this way nine
townships were announced as represented IN
whole or in part. This Convention among
other things elected a County Committee. And
this County Committee, entirely ignoring the
Liberal Committee elected two years ago, has
now called Democratic county convention.
"We give this brief history OF the present
Democratic organization OF this county,
simply to show how much claim it has for recog-
milton upon the members of the Liberal organ
ization which conducted the campaign OF two
years ago.
IF the leaders of this resurrecting party
in this comfy choose to dig up In this way the
bones OF the old Democratic organization. and
enter the skeleton for the races this fall, they
must not complain if they get no backing from
Liberal Republicans and Liberal Democrats,
those who joined in good faith the movement
Of two years ago. and would still rejoice at
union OF all patriotic men, Democrats or Re-
pubncans."

Woman Suffrage Notes.

Gov. DIpgley, OF Maine Is an out-spoken
Woman Suffragist.
The Detroit Suffrage Association is making
arrangements for a series Of public meetings, TO
be held in the different wards Of the city for the

last Wednesday evening. A Suffrage Assocla-
ton was organlzed. large number OF the most
respectable and intelligent citizens Of the vii

1t is often urged that the majority OF women
don't ask for Suffrage, don't want to VOTE
would not exercise the right even il it were
conceded to them. This may be so, bat the
question is not, how many desire the right, but,
II a single one does desire it, can it be enjoyed?

considers whether majority of the young men

to vote she ought not to be deprived OF the
right because her fair sisters are apathetic and
neglectful. Monroe Commercial.

and nation. Now considering that women pos
