ing that by this reckoning the year had
been and was dropping back about six
hours annually by the advice of an
Egyptian astronomer enacted that one
day should be added to every fourth
year, IN order to use up this fraction of
SIX hours and preserve the year from
falling back still further Now AS the
exact length of the tropical wear is
three hundred and sixty.ivo DAYS, five
hours, torty'eight minutes and iorty.six

Julian calender was too much by eleven
minutes and fourteen seconds. This
overplus from A b. c. to 1852 of the
Christian era had amounted to littlo
over ten days, Pope Gregory XIII.
then corrected the Julian calender by
setting the new year back ton DAYS and

enacted that every fourth year should
consist of three hundred and siXty.six

Last night, at about s O'Clock, three
shots were heard in the vicinity of the
corner of Fourth street and Commercial
avenue. Immediately after man called
"Wild Cat was ascertained to have been
shot by a pal of his called The Kid
He was shot in the left leg above the
knee, the wound being severe but not
dangerous. Ii appears that "Wild Cat, -
endearingly named kitten by his
friends, and another thief, were on a
grand drunk and got into quarrel, when
"Thc Kid" let drive at 1.-The Cat and
winged him. The mayor was on
hand, but The Cat' wouldn't talk
at first, and "The Kid" got away
for time, but he and his pal were at last
taken in by Andy Cain and lodged in the
city Jail. DR.. Wardncr dressed the
wound OF ''kitten," who is now under
guard. and will he jailed as soon as he
can be removed from his present lodging
place. These men are all members of n
gang OF thieves. We could not learn
their names.
