An Unwelcome Passenger,

The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald gives an ac-
count of the difficulty Baggage-master
Hunt met Oh tiip from Chattanooga.
1t says: At Chattanooga man from
some Western State got aboard the train.
He had chained about the neck a very
large, yellow wolf. The bruteappeared
docile enough while in charge of his
owner, although to a stranger his fierce
eye and grinning teeth were sufficient to
keep one at distance. BY considerable
pulling and kicking and jerks, the man
succeeded i'll getting him aboard, and
putting him in the baggage car, where
he was chained in one corner.
AS might be well imagined, the bag
gage-master did not fancy such COM
panion in his car alone, and protested
against the act, but was repeatedly as
sured that the wolf was harmless, and
would attack no one. Thus the baggage
mans fears were allayed, and the train
started. as 5rs
1t leaves Chattanooga before light, and
the baggage-master was left alone in the
car with his gaunt companion. The train
had not proceeded very great distance
before it became necessary for the bag
gagc-master to adjust some pieces, which
he proceeded to do. In moving about
he either forgot the presence of the brute,
or, depending upon what the owner said
in regard to its viciousness, went too near
his wolfship, which, of sudden, made
a spring at Mr.. Hunt and seized his coat
tail. Turning to fight the animal of, it
seized him again, tearing his coat half
of. Mr.. Hunt fought the wolf of, and
made his escape into the next car where
he informed Conductor Bell what had
taken place. That officer felt outraged
at the danger to which his subaltern had
been subjected. and started in to dispatch
the brute, but thought it best to inform
its owner of what had transpired before
proceeding on his revengeful errand- The
proprietor of the one-horse menagerie
was aroused and informed of the situa-
tion, and told that he must make repa-
ration for the damage done or he would
be short of wolf very soon.- He offered
to console, the injured party by saying
that the wolf was playing, and that it
frequently tore his clothes off in these
little antics. But this did not restore
the rent garment or allay the anger of
the. baggage-master, who insisted upon
his making good what the beast had
made worthless After considerable
parleying and pickering they finally com.
promised on ten dollars and a half. After
that the wolf had the car pretty much
TO himself the balance of the trip.

The Stars.

The key to the Northern heavens is
the Great Bear, Plow, Charles Vain, or
Dipper, a remarkably prominent constel-
lation, consisting of seven stars OF the
second magnitude, which circles round
the pole, scarcely setting at all in this
latitude. These names are all given to
the stars, on account OF some fanciful re-
sem blance in their arrangement to a
bear,. plow, a wagon era dipper. A
line drawn through the two front stars
of this constellation, will nearly strike
the Polar star, also of The second magni-
tude, and the only bright star i'm that
direction. The pole star is 80 called be-
cause 1t is just above our North Pole.
That is, person standing on the North
Pole would always see the Polar star
exactly over his head, except when it
was rendered invisible by the sun being
above the horizon that is, six months Of
the year. A person standing on our
equator would see the Pole star always
on the very edge of the horizon if he
could Zee it at all, and one standing on
the 45th parallel Of latitude would al
ways see it just half way up the sky be-
tween the horizon and the zenith. The
two tail stars of the Great Bear or of the
handle of the Dipper point very nearly
to Arcturus, one of the brightest stars
in the heavens; and in like manner lines
may be drawn through other stars of the
Bear to point out other consultations or
stars. The most magnificent constella-
ton in. the heavens is Orion with his
belt and sword, circling in the southern
heavens; and line drawn through, the
first magnitude stars in his feet, points
to Sirius, or the dog star, which is by far
the brightest star in the heavens. It is
believed to be vastly larger than our sun,
although the size of our sun almost sur
passes our power of comprehension. The
planets. as well as the sun and moon, al
ways move, or appear to move, in belt
of the heavens called the Zodiac, which
is divided into twelve signs correspond
ing, not with our twelve months, but
with twelve periods, beginning with the
2lst OF each of our months and extend
ing to the 2lst Of next month. The
names of these signs should be learned
and the bright stars in them ascertained.
One of the signs-the Bulls easily
known by the Pleiades or seven stars,
which are supposed to be in the Bulls
eye. The sun is in this constella ton
from about the 2lst of April to the 2lst
of May, when it enters the. Twins, q
very prominent constellation on account
of its two first magnitude stars. These
hints are all mere whets to the laudable
appetite for the knowledge of our young
readers. They are expressed neither in
scientific language nor with scientific
accuracy, but we hope they may lead many
to study the stars. There are abundance
of books on astronomy--some of them
quite elementary and quite cheap-and
the stars, planets, and comets will be
found exceedingly interesting objects of
study by means of any one of these
hooks

he, amidst his agony, found voice to as

Eight weeks after this, a young man
lay upon the pillows of the spare room
In Colonel Raynor's house. He was thin
and worn, and there was an ,indelible
scar on his forehead, and one of his blue
eyes was closed forever; but matters
were better than had been hoped for a
long time, for he had been expected to
be utterly blind. Beside him sat young
girl. It was Violet Raynor. She was
also little worn, and her whole manner
seemed altered. She had been reading
to him. Now, in the twilight, she put
the book down and looked at him with
tears in her eyes. ~
"Mr. Mum" she said, l have wanted

6 0Petrel Oil.n

Ornithologists are well aware that GER
tain kinds Of sea-fowl belonging to the
petrol family are in the habit OF disgorg-
ing quantity Of oil when captured, and
that this furnishes in large part the food
with which they supply their young.
Many Of these species excavate a burrow
in the earth, in which their single egg is
laid, and the young bird. when Matched,
is left for long time while the parents
are abroad occupied in procuring food.
The oil in question, according to some,
isobtaiued from de9d and foating ceta-
ceans or ash; According 70 others, it is q
regular secretion. In either case the
amount Is 20 great that the inhabitants
of the island Of st. Kilda are in the
habit of hunting the fulmar petrol for
the purpose of catching Il and causing
IL to disgorge this oil, which IL done by
dipping the bill Of the bird into small
leather bag, suspended to the waist.
The amount obtained In this way is suf-
ficiently great to furnish an article Of
export. roG

The liability of mail carrier to ar
rest on civil process was considered in a
case which recently arose in Maine. The
person arrested was a sworn driver and
carrier of the mail, and, in the perform
ance OF his duty, hewent. to the post
office to get the mail at the time of day
when his duties as driver and carrier be-
gan. While he was waiting for the mail
and before he had obtained actual posses
sion Of it, the arrest was effected. 1t
was held that the carrier was, at the
time, engaged In the public service relat-
ing 10 the mails, and was therefore ex-

AMENDE observation-disclosures Oils
the young ma who Vas pardoned out
OF the State Prison on Saturday. called
on us to-day. and kindly asked us to
make some corrections In the item
which appeared In the Tribune on Sat
urday. 1t appears that we stated that
the man whom Mr.. Oils accidentally
shot was a " loafer," In this, 1t seems.
we were misiniOrmed. as Mr.. Oils tells
US that the man II not a loafer, but a
business man, and that he signed the
petition for pardon. We hone the per
son whom we so wrongfully accused
will accept our apology. Carson Trf.

We published in yesterday morn

to, with such remarks as we deemed APP
propriate to the occasion. The fling u,
Mr.. Malatesta created considerable in.
dlgnstion here, and many who we're
tor Oils pardon, Expressed their
regret at having done so. In an
other column will be found card from
Malatesta. When he brought IL to our
office we showed him the above retrac-
ton in the Tribune; but he is impressed
with the belief that his character was
misrepresented to the members Of the
Board of Pardons by Oils. or his
friends, otherwise the editor OF the Tri.
bune could not have conceived such an
erroneous idea con erning him; con
seqnently he insisted upon ths publi-
