There will 60 TO the ballot boxes on
tho 9TH of next month a great body Of
young men who will cast their maiden
votes. 1t is a generation of voters who
have reached maturity ten years after the
civil war. When in 1eGl tho shot fred

ing Of the hostile forces these now first
voters were but SIX years old, and when
the contest ended they were only ten years
old. Therefore, the remembrance of the
events, which TO Us who passed through
that period long after our boards were
grown is fresh and clear, to them is misty
and almost a thing of written history only
They have learned at school of the victories
aud defeats which alternately cheered and
depressed us, and the war is to them sim
ply a childish memory of armed men

music. They lost the education of that

shared in it rs grown men. But perhaps
better than we, they can contemplate it in
perspective, aud view the war with no
other than the prejudces which the opin-

them.

WHNTED-VULCAN.


When Jupiter, in n moment Of impa-
thence, kicked his son. Vulcan, down from
Oily npus, the latter struck a verv eccentric or.
bit 1t took him nine days to come from heaven
to earth through cloudless sky. He broke
his leg In the fall, and there was not enough
wind left In him to I'LL the lungs OF a
Rood-sized mosquito. His conduct while here
on earth was VERY little TO his credit and we are
somewhat surprised, at this late day, to nnd so
much interest manifested as to his present
whereabouts. He is, however, chiefly interest
ing to men as the husband OF Venus, and to
women as the father OF Cupidon. He was not
happy In his domestic relations. Mrs. Vulcan
was Of rather lively turn Of mind. Mars was
frequent visitor at the house. They had des-
perate Irritation together which finally resulted
In terrible scandal, brought about through
certain revelations made ty Ph@bus.
1t caused at the time great excitement on
Mount Olympus, was a sort OF Beecher-Titon
Affair, and has been handed down from the
fabulous ages as solemn warning TO all men
who put their trust 10 beautiful blondes. Now,
we could readily understand that astronomers,
philosophers, and poets might earnestly seek to
interview Venus with the hope OF getting at
true version Of her alleged eccentrcities, point
ing out the follies OF her past life, and giving
her some good, wholesome advice; but that

hension. A very distinguished astronomer tells
Of the many unsuccessful searches which have
been made for Vulcan, and winds up by giving
the following concise and lucid advice to those
who may desire to watch the suns disk with the
hope Of discovering his whereabouts:
The time between Lescarbault's observa-
lions In 1859 and that OF Lummis In 1862, must
be divided into such number Of aynodic revo-
lutions, that some other number Of synodic rev.
olutions previous to 1889 would carry us back to
Sidebotham's observation In 1Si9. These two
Intervals must be commensurate, anu the real
sNnodc revolution must be "A common factor.
IL may not be the largest common factor. and
probably Is not the smallest common factor. so
that there are several possible orbits which
would satisfy these three observations. Then
we must consider the interval between the Oo-
servations Of Fritsch In 1902 and Of DecuDps In
1852 (which must be divishle Into a whole OF
equal synOdic revolutions.
Just so. Could anything be clearer? Should
any policeman out Of employment feel des'rous
Of making a search for Vulcan, the following
description Of his personal appearance when
last seen may possibly be Of use:
His breast was hairy, his forehead was black
encd with smoke, he held a hammer In his right
arm raised In the air ready to strike, he was
covered with sweat. He had on beard of some
months growth, small round cap on the top
Of his head. and no other clothing. lie limps in

Never Heard Such Shrek Before o.

81 am sure / heard a human voice. |
have never heard such shrek before or
since" Such was the sworn testimony OF
PETER FAoIN, who listened to the death
shrieks Of CHARLES G. KELSEY, as, after hav-
ing been cruelty mutilated, he was hurried
forward by his tormentors in the emily
night Of the 4th of November, 1872, to be
drowned in the sea.
All this occurred near the village Of Hunt
ington, in the county of Suffolk. and the
state of New York, and only short ride
from this city. More persons than one
must have been directly and actively on
gagged in the mutilation of the victim ;
more persons than one must have taken
an active hand In his murder, for no was
an active young man, and his resistance
is known to have been determined. A
crowd had witnessed the process of tarring
and feathering previously inflicted upon
him. His mutilated remains have been, in
part, since recovered from the great deep.
Yet his death goes to this day unavenged.
His murderers are free.
How do these facts speak OF the safety
of human life in this community? How
complete is the protection afforded to the
person by our laws as at present admins
teredi
We wish the shrek from poor KELSEY
might sound in the ears of every man in
the State. rs it did in PETER FAGIN's, until
the perpetrators of this capital crime
should he brought to even-handed justice.
We do not believe the secret of KELSEY s
murder-hardly more than open secret

Those concerned in it who care to save
their necks from the hangman's rope must
naturally be considering now whether
their most probable chance for escape does
not lie in turning States evidence.

The regatta on Greenwood lake, yester-
day, practically ended the mcst successful row.
ing season known in this country. Not only
have better crews competed and better records
been made. but we have had the only purely
international regatta ever rowed In Amerl-
can waters-that on the Schuylk,ll in
August, in which half dozen crews
from the old world participated. At the
August regatta on. Saratoga lake, RILEY,
Of the Neptune Club, made the best senior
single-scull time on record, and the famous
Northwesterns made tho best time for pair
cared and four-oared crews. Their pair-oared
time, however was beaten on Greenwood lake
on Monday. The Centennial regatta developed
astonishing Craftsmanship over a tortuous, mar
row course. There was also good pulling at the
College boat races. The interest in boating has
been threefold that OF any previous year.
The yachtsmen. too, have had their jolliest
summers sport; the rihemen have made more
bulls eye shots Smuegler has trotted a mile
quicker than any other stallion ever did, and
Ten Brock has run four miles In better time
than did Fellowcraft or the famous Lexington
before him. 1t has been a lively season In tho
sporting world, and our Uncle SAMUEL Is max
ing 1t still livelier In another direction.
