TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Last night Sunday, while sitting with
friend in front OF his residence East Captost
observed bright light Illuminating the northwest side
OF the dome the Capitol was facing that building
and in an instant q magnificently brilliant meteor
flashed out in the western sky. lis motion was $40"
comparatively; and l bad time enough to call my
friends attention 10 II. While II was still IN view had
good opportunity 10 compare its disk with that OF
street lamp four blocks off, and directly under
the meteor. disk appeared little larger than that
lamp-both being the field OF vision at the same
time. Afterward, on comparing the lamps hght WIG
the the both estimated as about one
sixth OF the moons diameter about five minutes This
would make the disk OF the meteor about onesixth hat

teusey white the after part red and green AS 20 Color
both my friend ysef are agreed Its line OF motion
was FROM north to SOUTH and from that portion of the
sky then occupied by Arcturus. While did not see
when it first appeared estimated that the point of the
heavens from which il started could not have been far
from star then well down. shortly afterward
observed at least half dozen Of smaller meteors shoot

motion being line inclined to the horizon about 45

no cannon firing at that Time OF night; there
was no indication of thunder; 1t appeared TO

WIT NANEg

An exercise of the Vdg HHBtaAG re-
Gently occurred at the Boston Post Office,
that was q little more amusing than mus
ical.
An Individual stepped up TO the gen
eral delivery window, and, in some
what subduel tonc, asked:
ANY letters for mo ?"
"What name, 81: = }aid the clerk in
attendance.
"Watt, replied the applicant.
'What hOme ?" repeated the clerk, in
a still louder tone.
''N att. oir."
"What Aome| repeated the clerk, still
louder growing red in the face in his
effort.
Wat, sir, is m, name, "now shouted
the applicant, in return.
"1es, responded lhe man o. letters,
putting in all the over of lungs he pos
sessed, and shouting like new adjutant
AT the head OF n raw rcgiment-"what~
your name, sir ~
other, red and excited. DO you mean
to keep me yelling a. You AL day in this
manner Give me M letters"
by this Time two or three clerks inside
the window had come II The rescue OF
Their comradc, and small crowd had
gathered round the excited lcttersceker
OUTSIDE, who was ha.ling his list, and
denourt ,ng the Post-Oflcc Department
Tor pacing deaf man at the delivery
window.
What do you man by calling me
dear - said the clerk, who overheard this
last remark.
"Why, you are deaf, a'n'tyou ?" asked
his customer.
"Nota bit Of it," said the clcrk; "but
goU are, ant you :"
off" y '''' ''''' ''''0
Then why did you keep saying
What = when asked your name -
Because Watt is my rame--James
Watt"
80 thought you said what all the
time, said the clerk.
$50 did; WATT, Watt"
AT this, a fellow.clerk suggested that
they had better give old Watt's s-his name
his letters; which was done, and the
crowd, including several disappointed
individuals who were in anticipation OF
4 fight instead of a laugh, dispersed.
