Theory OF the Sun.

"The eruptions which are all the
time occurring on the suns surface, !"
says Professor Young, "almost compel
the supposition that there is a crust of
some kind which restrains the impr1s-
oned gases, and through which they
force their way with great violence.
This crust may consist of a more or
less continuous sheet of rain, not of
water, of course, but of materials whose
vapors are shown by means of the spec
troscope to exist in the solar atm os-
phere, and whose condensation and
combinations are supposed to furnish
the solar heat. The continuous over
flow of the solar heat is equivalent to
the supply that would be developed by
the condensation from steam to water
of layer about five feet thick over the
whole surface of the sun per minute.
Z" AS this tremendous rain descends,
the velocity of the falling drops would
be retarded by the resistance of the
denser gases underneath, the drops
would coalesce until continuous sheets
would be formed, and the sheets would
unite and form sort of bottomless
ocean resting upon the innumerable
ascending jets and bubbles. In other
words, the sun, according to this view,
is gigantic bubble, whose walls are
gradually thickening, and its diameter
diminishing at a rate determined by its
loss of heat. 1t differs, however, from
ordinary bubbles in the fact that it's
skin is constantly penetrated by blasts
and Jets from Within"

The Old Story.

In Louisville, according to the Jour-
nal, there walks with head erect man
who, after running one innocent, unsus-
pecting girl, married another, who was
almost her near neighbor. His wife is
very beautiful and attractive. When
the story reached her ears, and the
poor little babe was brought to her no.
tice, her heart almost broke, and she
resolved to leave the man, although he
had only been her husband a few
months. Relations thought it best to
take no steps in the matter, and she
was dissuaded from obtaining a di-
vorce. But the smooth faced villain
was not content with the misery he had
wrought, but sought to regain his
power over the girl during the tempo
rary absence of his wife. Poor thing,
she was trying so hard to be worthy of
the forgiveness of her father and sis
ter who had not cast her off. One day,
car filed with passengers was passing
NOWh OlS obICSbs OuO JOuDS luuu LII
the car called the attention of another
to beautiful girl who was about en-
tering a store and named her as the
mistress of -. He had mistaken the
innocent young sister, and woman in
the car, who overheard the remark and
knew the girl, made it her business to
call at the house of the two sisters and
relate what occurred in the cars. The
young lady turned upon her unfortR-
nate sister, and with vehemence re-
preached her for the disgrace she had
brought upon The family, and added
that she would no longer live in the
same house with her, but would here
after live with a relative in another
city, where she could escape insults.
The poor wounded heart gave way, and
the forsaken one fell to the floor in
strong convulsions. In three days she
died. Her betrayer sat upon the steps
of his father-in-law dwelling and
watched the funeral as it passed.

A Good Fight Better than Speech.

Congressman Sayler, of Ohio, admits
that he can't speak against a fight.
Said ha: "John Ryan came to me
last night, and, says he, If you don't
come out and speak at our meeting on
Walnut Hills tonight, you'll lose fifty
votes there now you will, sure Wei,
I had to speak down in my own ward,
the Fourth, and there we had fne'
lively, rousing meeting. Jake Gardner
made a lively speech 'on account 1t
was rather rough to have to so out in
the country after speaking in the city,
but I didn't want to disappoint the
people out there. I have made fourteen
speeches in six nights. 1t was as cold
as Iceland, but Ryan said I must come,
as he would announce me to appear
positively at seven o'clock. So | got a
carriage and took Jack Connolly in
with me and went out. Or. Dodds was
speaking vigorously when l got there,
and I had to wait for him to get
through. There were about twenty
five men at the meeting. 1t was cold.
Well, I started in, and, after my intro
ductory, began to talk about Western
interests, when a fight commenced a
little distance off. I was just getting
warmed up when that fghtcommenced,
but that cooled me off. You ought to
have seen that crowd edge over towards
that fight. 1t was funny. In minute
that fight had all the audience, and l
hadn't man left. l simply quit, with
the remark that good fight was better
tHan speech, anyhow"
