GOOD ADVICE.

Commodore Murray, an able and gal
LIANT naval officer. has been testifying
before the House Committee on "naval
purchases and contracts" The Com
modore advises the immediate discharge
Of the civil employees. who for political
purposes have been sanwiched into the
administration Of the army aud navy.
Nearly all the peculation and corruption
that exists in those departments. origin
ate and is carried on by the bar.room
politicians who are intruded into the
staff Of the navy yards, commissariat and
other departments of the defensive SER
vices OF the country. We have often
said and still repent, that taken as
mass, the officers Of the U. s. Army and
Navy, are honest. Trustworthy and in
telligent. as well as gallent gentlemen.
There may be and perhaps are excep-
tons, but those by contrast only serve
to prove the rule. Whenever they are
entrusted with functions that require
honor, honesty and capacity to conduct
them properly, the officers OF either
service invariably perform such duties
we'll and satisfactorily. With them
there is no need for after investigations
and whitewashing committees. They
take their instructions. endsavor to I'M
derstsnd and perform what Is required
and report their proceedings, whether it
10 to govern q reconstructed state, pay
soldiers, conduct the coast survey OF
anything else that they by competent
authority are ordered to do. This is SO
well known. that they are never EN-.
ployed to carry on the stealing jobs and
contracts. They do not take hand in
robbing Indians or the country by col
fusion with the contractors for supplying
inferior food and clothing or building
rotten vessels. The ready tools for
such business Is found in the ward
politicians and loafers that hang round
the political frauds and adventures
with whom official life swarms. Among
them 10 found the Pinney's and Spauld
ing's who disgrace the service and thu
country. Turn over the administration
OF naval and military affairs completed!
to the control of the officers of thos'
services and we shall no more hear o

TO THE POINT.

This morning We publish in our tele-

will be necessary to protect the influx OF
settlers and prospectors from the In.

to establish forts at two points which be

appropriations to defray the expenses.
We cannot but hope that General Sheri-
dams proposition will be favorably re.
csived and the necessary provision made
to protect the vast crowds which will Ger
tainly flock to what is thought by some
to be new Ell Dorado. Whether the Gen
erals belief as to the existence Of paying
gold placers in the regions he names II

explorations. The fact however remain
the same; that great number Of people

phn.a. of ths Noon.

Every person has heard people speak
ing Of the new moon, q full moon andth
result Of such phases of that planet, but
few there are who know why these phs-
ses take place. THE constant and reg
ular change of the illuminated surface OF
the moon from a thin crescent to a circle,
aRd vice versa, are called the phases Of
the moon" These are regulated by the
position of the moon, relative to the
earth and sun. for it is only the half of
the moon facing the sun that is illumi
mated by his rays, aud the whole Of the
illuminated portion can only be seen
from the earth, when the sun, earth and
moon are in q straight line called the
line Of Syzygies, and the earth is between
the sun and the moon. When the moon
is in the line Of the Syzygies, but between
the earth and the sun, no part of her IL
Illuminated disc can be seer from the
earth. In the former case the moo is
said to be full, and in the latter new. A
few hours after a new moon, the moon
appears a little 10 the east Of the sun, as
a thin crescent, with the horns pointing
towards the east, and as she increases
her angular distance about II degrees
daily, the crescent Of light becomes
broader, till after the lapse of a little
more than seven days, at which time the
moon is 80 degrees in advance of the
sun, she presents the appearance Of a
semicirele OF light. The moon is then
said to have completed her first quarter.
Continuing her course, she becomes glib
bous, that is, she assumes a sveIled OF
convex form, and at the 18th or 10th day
from new moon, she %attains $50 degrees
in advance Of the sun, again appearing
gibbous, and after a third period of mere
than seven days, she reaches a point Of
80 degrees west of the sun, and enteri
her last quarter. Here again she ap
pears as a semicircle of light, the illumi
mated portion, however, being that which
was not illuminated at the first quarter
The moon now rapidly approaches th'
sun, resumes the crescent form, but thi
time with horns pointing westward, tn.
crescent becoming thinner and thinne
till the moon reaches the position Of ne'
moon and disappears"

Returning Memphians from the Cen

buildings filled with fine displays. The
famous Tennessee building is a dirty old
tent, like uRto the tent Of a niger sboS

Of a rusty looking old patent stove in
one corner and a pile OF iron ore in
another. On a dirty old table lies a reg
isterlng book quite as dirty as the table.
Above the table is painted the plaeard:
" Tennesseeans are requested to register
their names in this book" Every body
registers his or her name, aud adds some
funny paragraph or writes some satirioal
or amusing signature. People STROLL in
and out Of the tent by the thousands,
and a general laugh is heard all around
from those who are coming out. An

Commissioners permit that dirty old
