A Lunar NiEht.

A writer in the British Quarterly says
Night sets in. Grateful it comes aftel
the sun has gathered up its smitlng beams
and gone to its rest. All at once we ar,
plunged into comparative obscurity, fol
again there is no twilight to stay the steps
of departing day. At one stride comes
the dark. But. looking up into the sky,
We behold vast orb, which pours down
a mi,der and more beneficient splendol
than the great lord of the system. It Is
such moon as we terrestials cannot boast;
for it is not less than thirteen times as
large and luminous as our own. There il
hangs in the firmanent, without apparent
change of place, as If fixed in its eyer.
lasting seat" But not without change of
surface. For this great globe is q painted
panorama. and, turning around majestic
ally ON its axis, presents it's oceans and
continents in grand succession. As Eu-
rope and Africa, locking the Mediterra-
mean in their embrace, roll away to the
right, the stormy Atlantic offers its waters
Ito view, ther the two Americas with their
huge forests and vast prairies, pass under
inspection. Then the great basin of the
Pacific, lit up with island fires, meets the
|gazer's eye, and as this glides over the
scene, the eastern rim of Asia and the up
per portion of Australia sail into sight.
The Indian Ocean, and afterward the
Arabian Sea, spread themselves out in
their subdued splendor, and thus, IN four
and twenty hours, 1.-THE great rotundity we
tread" turns its pictured countenance to
the moon, and grandly repays the listening
lunarians by repeating, to the best of its
ability, the story of its birth. Nor is the
sky less marvellous in another respect For
the absence of any atmospheric diffusion
of light permits the consultations to shine
out with q distinctness which is never
paIalleled on earth. They glitter like
points set In flrmanent of ebo
ny. Stars and clusters which we never
zee by the naked eye flock INTO view and
crowd the lunar heavens.

A Whistlin9 Compositor.

It was not q loud or thrill whistle; It wa
not that lively end joyous whistle tha

He looked around the Office complacently

to the foreman, stopped wh'stling for al

"How's work."
But before the reply could be given h.

| Well, that fellow was put to work, and
he whistlcd over his case, whissled around
for stick and rule, whistled up to the
copy hook, whistled over to his case again
and picked up an EN- quad, drew fresh
breath and whistled all through the take
till he whistled over the galley to empty

But it wss the same old whlstle-the

Low, angry murmers bet0kened the rising
storm, and broad hints uncomplimentary
Ito his musical abilities were thrown out.
But he paid no attention to them, and
just kept right along, whistling and set

Finally human nuture could endure no
more. Loud cries of,

"Oa, let up!"

He took the storm of old shoes, slippers
and boots that was showered upon him
with the utmost Gang froid, and We believe
the cuss actually thought it was intended
for applause.
AT last the hands in the ofiee hit upon d
plan TO stop this everlasting whistle One
night when he was asleep they went up to
his room and clapped tremendous strong
sticking plaster right over his mouth, and
then retired, thanking God that the unen.

WHAT Is AN INDEPENDENT NEWS
PAPER.

The editor Of the Phoebe RECORD de- |
an independent newspaper. With much
pleasure We hasten to reply. We are well
aware that in no situation in life can a
man be said to be entirely independent,
for there il q mutual dependence existing
in every phase OF human life, conse-
qIently we refer not TO independence in
the abstract. but as to newspaper affairs,
we claim that an editor may be independ-
snt in the common accep,aiion Of the
term. As we have before stated, politi-
cal Independence consists in ignoring
party ties and platforms; in advocating
the election of known good men without
refe renee to party or their political pro-
cliyities; in speaking Of candidate as
his merits deserve, without fear OF parti-
san jeers. In ordinary business matters
newspaper independence is best shown
by denouncing everything that has the
| appearance of wrong. either in the man
agement OF the affairs Of the general,
State, county or town governments, and
that without fear of consequences; in
advocating every movement that tends
to do the greatest amount Of good 10 the
community in which said paper is pnb.
lished, and boldly expose everything that
can work an injury to the hole people
or individuals. We claim that

turn to its patrons than the merchant

In an editorial the Alta asks

Why are not stages and stage.drivers
furnished with short barrelled rifles that
carry dozen or fifteen charges

defend themselves? A few cases OF sue
cessful resistance would exert healthy

We believe one OF the reasons is that
drivers are not paid to fight, they are
