THE DIFFICULTY WITH

There seems to be some, trouble in the
planetary system. The first three satel-
lites of Jupiter are having a family disturb

Saturn may have been watching the sue.

rings, and is trying to get control of the
supply of light and gravitation among the
celestial bodies. At any rate there is a
general muss up there somewhere, and it
is purposed by some of the e~nterprising
journalists to hire Jules Verne's cannon
and send three or four reporters to find,
out what the trouble is. Although up'to=
this present writing no volunteers for this
aerial cruise have presented themselves
there will, undoubtedly, be as many as the
proiectile will hold when the hour arrives
to start. They will probably buy tickets
''to Jupiter via the moon," in order to
interview that luminary which has been.
somewhat coquettish of late. They will
come blackwell, the precise route has,
not yet been determined. It just occurs
to us to say that the old story about the
morning stars singing together seems to be
somewhat threadbare. They may have
exercised their voices when somewhat
younger in a kind of family chorus, but of
late years, if science is to be trusted, they
have had disturbances up above. WHICH

CHRlSTIANSTED, JULY 18th 1874.

We are requested by Rev. c. J. Branch
to state that he has been unexpectedly
summoned by the Bishop to accompany
him to Porto Rico as his chaplain in con
sequence of the difficulties that have
arisen in connection with the Protestant
work there. He must therefore leave
this Island tomorrow. But the Rev. e..
Hutson will come here by the Vigilant
on Saturday to take charge of the two
parishes in this Island until Mr.. Branch's
return. There will therefore be service
as usual both In st. Johns and st. Paul's
Churches on Sunday.

4 PLEA roe ENERGY.

EDITO R NEws:-I wish to protest
against the way in which business is
carried on in our city. Some of our
business houses must display more en-
ergy. Through the want of sufficient
"git up' many dollars are lost daily,
and much suffering has TO be endured
by some of our fellOw-citizens. The
money might be saved, and the suffer-
ing avoided if the proprietors of our
"wholesale" and ''drug stores" would
only open ont their tipping shops at a
reasonable hour in the mOrning-say
at four O'clock-and not keep old suck
ers ''S0ak" and "Guzzle," with Messrs.
'ISmiler'' and "Tipler'' and all their
crOnies, marching up and down the
pavement in front of their respective
haunts. With "solemncholy" counte-
nances they are kept there hour after
hour with nothing to do but 'cuss
their luck" and the lazy proprietOrs
who are keeping them from their morn
ing meal, (Which is necessarily frugal,
as they have to save their money for
whisky.) Could you witness their suf-
ferinS and not feel like calling upon
the council to grant license, or upon
some of our E'business houses" to sell
out to some one who will attend to
business, then you would be heartless
indeed.
Something must be done. If there
is not q change some of our fellow
citizens may become thoroughly dis
gusted, and follow the ''Star of En-
pre- to where whisky il free, and
what loss that would be to our city I
1t could not be estimated. 1t must be
prevented or our fine new poOr-house
and Jail might become depopulated
and useless. WIDEAwAKE.

Go EAST BY WAY OF ST. LoUIs.-In
these days of railroad competition the
wise traveller selects his route before
leaving home. In almost every in
stance he desires to reach his destina-
ton as speedily as possible, and for the
accomplishment OF that purpose the
Missouri Pacific Through Line from
the West to the East, via Kansas City
and st. Louis, offers inducements I'M
surpassed by any other line in the
country. Everything connected with
the Missouri Pacific r. r. is lirst-class,
and the adoption of the Miller Plat
form and the Westinghouse Air Brake
together with its Pullman Sleepers,
and Reclining Chair Coaches, render q
trip over the line perfectly safe and
pleasant. Passengers from all parts Of
the West by taking its express trains
at Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison
and other prominent cities, are landed
St. Louis at seasonable hours morn
ing and evening, and in ample time to
make direct connection with all
railroads for every point in the
North, East and South. Partic-
ular information, with maps, time
tables, &C., may be had at the
various Through ticket railroad sta
tions in the West, or upon personal or
written application to G. H. Baxter,
Western Passenger Agent, Kansas
City. No., or E. A. Ford, General
Passenger Agent, st. Louis, Mo.

CHANGE OF BAsE.-We have neglect
ed to state that Rev. c. II. Rice, who
has been acting as assistant editor OF
this paper since last October, severed
his connection with the paper some
three weeks ago and located at Ameri-
Gus, where he has engaged In the prac-
tiee of medicine. He is regularly ed
ucated physician, has had considerable
experience, and we hope he will meet
with success in the profession. Mr.. r.
did good service on THE NEWS, and
his work was duly appreciated by our
readers, but the times are SO hard as to
compel Us TO do all our editorial work
ourself. This we regret, because We
miss the Elder.
1t is useless for us TO commend
him to the people of Americas, where
he Is 30 we'll and favOrably known. We
trust he may fad his home among
them both satisfactory and profitable.
We know the people will find him a
valuable addition to their society.

SOMETHING ABOUT GOING EAsr.-The
shortest possible route between the Great
West and the East, North and South, is
over the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gain.
ed surprising importance by reason of
immense expenditures in the last two
years, Of over two millions dollars, be-
sides earnings, in improvements of road
way, in RELAXING their line with best
quality Of new steel and iron rails, on
broad new ties, and by substituting for
ordinary cars, new reclining chair coaches,
elegantly carpeted and fitted, with dress
ing rooms with toilet conveniences for Ia
dies, gentlmen and families travelling with
children, tcithoat any e1tTd charge. This
line runs six fast express trains between
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, two
more than any other road, and connects
with all the great through lines East,
West, North and South. It is remarkably
exempt from accidents by reason of adopt
ing every modern appliance for comfort,
speed and safety, including night and day
watehmen, who inspect the road before
and after the passage Of each train to see
that everything is secure. We recon-
mead those contemplating a trip East to
take the st. Louis. Kansas City &c North
ern Short Line, either through st. Louis,
the great metropolis Of over 100000 in
habitants, or through Chicago, via the
Chicago & Alton short line, over the Louis
lana Bridge, open for passage of through
trains. Ticket Agents of connec ting
roads selling tickets to the East, North Of
South, will furnish tickets by this excel
emit line. For map, circulars, time cards
and information relative to rates, &C., ap-
