time Saturn will be one of the most con-
spicuous objects in the sky. Jupiter
can also be seen in the west after sun
down, Mars, easily distinguished by
its ruddy light, is now an evening star
in the southern sky. A few weeks ago,
when it was in opposition, it was only
40,000,000 miles away. or nearer than
before in fifteen years. 1t is still ex-
traordinarily brilliant Venus is now a
morning star and very brilliant. Mer-

are good railroad officials, doing their
duty faithfully, efficiently, economical
ly, has not the public a right to COM
plain if they are ousted through the Ca
prices of President Raymond or any body
else? You make very laundering at.

1.-The stockholders are tolerably unan-
imous in the belief that Mr. Raymond
has at heart the best interest of the road,
that his purposes are in full accord with
their interests. He wants every en-
