CHAPTER II.


1. And Samuel, surnamed Tilden
issued proclamation to all the people,
saying:
2. Behold the land is filed with
plenty, and yet great multitudes Of the
people, with their wives and little ones,
are ready to perish for want of the ne
cessaries Of life, whilst the rulers Of the
land are rioting in their fulness and
faring sumptuously on the spoils OBJ
tanned from the government.
3 Now, therefore. this is not as it
should be. nor would any Of our people
suffer for want if the government was
properly administered
4. Be it. therefore, known that, in
the event Of my becoming chief ruler in
the nation. I will seek to establish such
reforms in the administration as will
bring peace and plenty to all the inhab-
itanis of the land
5 And, as means of accomplishing
this. / will drive from power every dis
honest official. and 6ll their places with
men who win faithfully attend to their
duties. and be able at all times to rem
der a strict account of their steward
ship
6. And the saying of Samuel, sur
named Tilden, pleased the people well,
and with one accord they enlisted under
his banner, prepared to do valiantly for
the good cause of reform.
Z. But Ulysses and Simon and their
confederates in infamy were sore amaz-
ed at what they saw, and consorted from
time to time in order to prevent Samuel,
surnumed Tilden. from being the chief
ruler.
s. And they sent out couriers to the
north, to the south, to the east and to
the west, and urged their partisans Of
all colors to organize for the great con-
fict.
9. But the people did not respond as
aforetime They were sullen and dis
contented, and would not confde in the
promises or pledges of Rutherford, sur
named Hayes.
10. And the men of Rutherford were
feeble and dispirited. whilst the follow
ers Of Samuel grew more and more
numerous from day to day. and rejoiced
in their own strength and in the great
tact and ability of their leader.
II. Now Don, the son of Simon. the
Winnebago. was one of the chief coun-
sellors Of Ulysses. and be said unto the
king, We will send our mighty men Of

THE NEW OBSERVATORY Ar TIENN4.

A letter from Dr. de La Rue to the Royal Astro-
nomica Society gives interesting details concerning
the new Observatory at Vienna. The old one II ,lt-
uated among the busy streets OF that city; II was
founded in 1853, aud rebuilt in 1s2G-27; but ite
site renders it at present quite unfit for accurate as
Economical work. NJ. Won LIttrow the Director,
urged the need If new site and another building
upon the Austrian Government and Prof. Weiss
visited the public and private Ohservatorcs oi IL
Gland and this country before the new plans
were decided on. 1t was at length concluded
to have refractng telescope of the largest size
26 inches aperture; and the starting point of con
structon, the dome of the observatory, Will
therefore have ~ feet internal diameter. The
site chosen is three miles north of the center
of the city and 200 feet above its mean level.
The new building will be $50 feet long norhS0uthl
and 24O feet dep (cast-westl. The foundation was
laid in June, 1874 the structure IS expected to be
complete in 1877 The dwelling Of the Director
and apartments for his assistants are included III
the building. DR.. de La Rue thinks this arrange
ment unwise, as the heated air from such source,
will be likely to interfere with the Of the instru
ments. These dwelling rooms, the library, lecture
room Offices and cntrancc-hail take up the long arm
of a which is the ground plan Of the building.
The great dome is at the intersection If the arms of
the cross, and three smaller domes viii he placed on
the shorter extremitIes. The large equatorial for
| the central dome has been ordered Of Mr. Howard
Grub Of Dublin, and 12-nch rcfractor for Of
the smaller domes, Of Mr. Alvan Clark of Cambridge
Mass The latter instrument is to be mainly used to
determine the positions of small planets and comets.
An equatorial reflector specially adapted TO pho
Biography, q prime vertical instrument, aud an
al. muth or a heliometer, VIII also probably be
ordered. 1t will be noticed that Austria means to
Keep up with the advancing needs Of science AS to
