Leo the Lion, and are at once attracted to
that fine star Regulus or Cor Leonis, the
heart of the lion, of the first magnitude.
It's position 10 the heavens is laid down
as follows right ascension ten hours
minute 43 seconds; north polar distance
| ITO 25/ 22| Or north declination 12o 81
1917. There are seven singularly placed
stars in the lions shoulders and neck, de-
scribing with great exactness the figure of
sickle or reaping hook, Reguns being in
the end of the handle, the curve bending
back or east; the point star being at the
opening Of the mouth The second star up
from Regulus is Algeiba I'd magnitude, and
the third is called Adhatara of the Sd mag
pitude. 100 north east is Zosma, placed
upon top of the lions hip, and 100 south
east from Zosma is Deneoola of the lst
magnitude in the end of the lions tail,
which is very gracefully curled up. Right
above or north Of the lions head is Leo
Minor or the Lesser Lion, laying down at
his ease while Leo Mayo or the great lion,
is bounding forward open mouthed as if to
seize his pray. These two consultations
can always be found as they lay little
east OF south Of the two stars forming the
bottom of the dipper or great bear. The
hind feet of the great bear rests upon the
back of the little lion, and the little lion
is crouching on the head of the great lion
and he is bounding along tie elliptic due
north of the heart of the Hydra.
The line of the 18th hour passes through
Zosma, and the hind feet of the lion and
down just west of "the constellation of the
Orator or urn, which rests upon the body
ofthe Hydra. By looking south OF Bosnia
and Denebola in the lions tail you will see
circular ring of stars placed seemingly
two and two, six of them of the 9Th magni-
tude, that is the Urn. Due south of Dene-
bola is Zauigova of the 4th magnitude in
the pinion joint of Virgo the virgins left
wing, her head lays across the quinoxial
colure at Libra while north east of Dene-
bola in Bernice's Hair, is large cluster of
stars about which history records very
interesting legend. This cluster lays due
south of that point Of the dipper where
the handle is soldered on
There are no stars of the first three mag.
nitudes in the constellation Cancer or the
crab. This is supposed to be the sea crab
which Juno sent to bite the foot of Hercules
while he fought the serpent Hydra in the
lake of Lerna, which was situated near
argos III the feIOponneSus. 1hlS new
enemy was soon dispatched and juno IN
able to succeed in her attempts to lessen
the fame of Hercules, placed the crab among
the consultations. In a line between the
cluster above mentioned and the last star,
Alhdid in the handle of the Dipper, is
star of the Sd magnitude Cor Carroll or the
heart of Charles; it is represented on the
globe as in SHIELD suspended from the
neck of one of Bootes bounds, who are
chasing the bear. round the pole

A Prevalent Disease.

There is no disease so prevalent in Amer
ca as dyspepsia and certainly none which
has so generally baf1ed and defeated the
skill of the medical profession. The only
remedy for this distressing complaint is
pure medicated stimulant. Hostctter's
Stomach Bsters, whose essential prime iple
is sound rye, is admitted by medical prsc-
titoner to be she only Alternative, correct
i've and restorative On which they can rely.
The Bitters are the best possible specific for
fatuency, Dizziness, waterbrash, irregulari-
ty Of the bowels. snd all indications Of con-
6rmed dyspepsia. They do not excite, but
sooth the irritated stomach and bowels, and
may be taken by persons Of the most deli
cate and sensitive organization, who are
unpleasantly affected by the use of the or
binary stimulants Of commerce. Though
their effect is most decisive, yet they are
so mild and bene6eent in operation, as to
be suitable to children as well as to adults.

WONDERFUL SUCCESS.

Three years ago DR.. Boschse's German
Syrup was Introduced into the United
States from Germany for the cure of coughs,
severe colds settled on the breast, Consump-
ton and other diseases of the Throat and
Lungs. No medicine has ever had such
success. 800, 200 sample bottles have been
distributed every year for three years by
Druggists in the United States, and nearly
1000 letters from Druggists are now on our
files, saying that no other preparation in
their stores sell as we'll and gives such ex-
celient satisfaction. All We ask is for you

Vogel for assault and battery with intent
to kill, which was to have been tried be.
fore Justice N. Bruett, of Jefferson, the 10th
inst, was withdrawn by Mr.. Miller for
reasons following:
WATERTowN, WIS, April 10th, 1875.
FRED. MILLER, ESQ
Dear Sir-For the purpose of settling ex-
listing difficulties between you and me, and
returning our heretofore kind regards for
each other, hereby offer to pay all costs
now incurred, and ask yon to pardon me
for whatever wrong | may have done you.
And believe me, yours truly,
H. VOGEL.
Out of pure philanthrophy for the wife
and children of the said H. Vogel, Mr.. Mil
Ter consented to compromise of the case
against the said defendant, and this COM
munity owe debt of gratitude to Mr.. Mil
Ter for his devotion to the best interests
of WATERFOWL. This action on his part
should touch the heart-strings of
every good personal the thought that
there is at least one man among us who is
willing to forgive under the most trying
circumstances. Revenge is sweet, but Mr..
Miller finds far nobler consolation in bind
ing up the wounds of an innocent, suffering
family.

They tell good story Of Mr.. Van AIS
tyne, ''ye host of the Exchange Hotel in
Watertown, the best kept house in ten
states. A rather seedy looking man came
along and registered his name as John
Smith. Van looked at the register and
then at Smith. Finally, in his own charac-
teristic way, he walked up to the unfortu
ate owner of this usual and unfashion-
able name, and taking him by the collar
said, II want you to pay your bill.'' s'Pay
my BILL" said Smith, why, haven't had
anything, just came in" "That don't make
any difference" replied Van, now thor
oughly aroused, "Yon have been here
more than forty times before and run off
without settling your bill, and now Tve got
you and you have got to pay In vain
the man protested that he never had been
there before in all his life Van soo1 con-
WINGED him to the contrary as he marched
him to the register and turning the pages
back pointed TO John Smith" written here
and there in forty different places. Van
wouldn't give in an inch and the man had
to pay, vowing as he left, that be would
murder the thief that was travelling about
the state under his name.

THE necessity that Pennsylvania avenue
shall be repaved without delay is now con-
ceded. The present pavements between
the Treasury and the Capitol, it will he re-
memrered, were laid by the old Corporation
before the Board of Public Works was or
ganized by act of Congress, and were expert
ments. The result of four years use Of the
wood patents on this great thcroughfare has
demonstrated their utter inutility for streets
over which heavy wagons and freight
trucks are habitually drawn. If the repay
ing is ordered this experience should teach
that the most substantial concrete or stone
patents will, Notwithstanding their cost,
prove TO be economical in the long run. A
careful examination Of all the patents used
on other streets, at the same time taking
INTO consideration the length of time they
have been laid, and the extent to which they
have been used, cannot fail to furnish am
pie information as regards the most durable
and economical pavement. Out of QUE ex-
perience in this business it will be strange,
indeed, if the authorities cannot arrive at
some satisfactory conclusion.
