Celestial Phenomena.

The appearance of star in the hcav-
ems at midday is an uncommon and
beautiful sight, especially when the sun
is shining as brightly as it did yester.
day. This beautiful phenomenon was
witnessed by thousands yesterday,
when Venus forgot her native modesty
and appeared unveiled in broad day
light. All the old men and young men
on the streets were gazing and point
ing their fingers at her, yet she sailed
on in conscious innocence, iand was
plainly visible to the naked eye through
out the greater part of the day. Venus
Is now at its nearest proximity to the
earth, only forty-one millions of miles
away, and her performance is booked
for some days to come. provided the
weather is propitious. Those who wish
to see her will find her about thirty de-
grees nearly west from the sun. She
is most plainly visible from two to four
O'Clock in the afternoon, and presents
the appearance Of star OF the fourth or
fifth magnitude. About half past ten
last sht the moon donned Its Centen-
nial costume and appeared gorgeously
surrounded by halo OF many brilliant
colors---a beautiful lunar rainbow. The
phenomenon was magnificent one
aud attracted the admiring gaze oi
hundreds. 1t continued for about hall
an hour, when the halo faded and grad.
ually disappeared, leaving the moon
clear and bright.-St. Joe Gazette, Sd.

The New York World, in an adroitly
worded article. calls attention to the
promotion Of Fred Grant to the grade OF
First Lieutenant. The intention Of this
article, which has been extensively cop
led. is to convey the impression that the
President took advantage OF the slaigh-I
ter of large number OF officers OF the
7th Cavalry to promote his son into one
OF the vacancies. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Fred Grant
was second lieutenant Of the 4th Cav
airy and reached his promotion regu-
larly by vacancy in that regiment. The
promotion of all line officers Is fixed by
law aud the death of all the Captains in
tho 7th Cavalry would not have affect
ed any lieutensnts outside Of that regi-
ment. Young Grants promotion would
have occurred just as il Nd, had there
been no fighting on the Rosebud. aud
his father had no more power to advance
or retard II than had 1se mildest man.

Reduce the Taxes.

We STE that several OF our State
papers are agitating the subject OF oul
State expenses, and are calling loudly
on the Legislature, now in session, to
reduce salaries and fees to where they
were before the war. There is no
reason whatever why they should not
be so reduced. Our state taxes as
well as other taxes are enormous. and
are serious burden to the farming
class and to the laboring men, as well
as to all others who have not well
secured income. Everything that the
farmer raises to sell is at the lowest
price, excepting, perhaps, the single
article of potatoes, and those will be
down to a low price by next spring.
See wool selling from 25 cents to 80
cents pound, with oar tares higher
than ever before knoacn, and salaries
and fees higher than erer,
just see how, since the war, our
Legislatures at Montpelier have in
creased salaries, and without any good
reason for the increase.
The Secretary Of State, who re-
ceived $500 IN 1860, now for the same
service receives over $4,000 a year.
The State Treasurer, who received
a salary of $500 year in 1860, now
for the same service receives $4,000.
The State Auditor, who had sala-
ry of $500 year in 1860, now re-
ceives for the same service $4,000.
The Judges Of the Supreme Court,
who in 1860 received salary of
$500 year each, now receive for
less service $4,000 u year each; and
we now have seven judges where we
then had but six, and previous to that
time we had but five judges with
salary of $l,375 year each.
And all the officers of the House
and Senate, great and small, have had
their pay increased in like manner.
It's big pug and little worh all around,
and the result is, that when we used
to have State tax of only IA to 16
cents, we now have State tax of
from 80 to 40 cents yearly.
Is it not time that we went back to
he economy which existed before the
var
