OF DEAN SwIFT's somewhat remarkable
anticipation Of the discovery of the moons
of Mars, as mentioned in "The Voyage to
Laputa," Professor R. A. Proctor says in the
London Times that it was not in Dean Swif's
way to make such guess, and in fact he bor-
rowed it from The science of his day, which,
judging from analogy, inferred that, because
the earth had one satellite and Jupiter four,
Mars, which comes between them, ought to
have two, and which accounted for these sat-
elites having escaped the astronomer by sup
posing that they must be near to their pri-
mary; and of course the same fact accounts
for the similar but vaguer prediction of Vol
taire. 1t was in both cases the imagination
of the scientific men which suggested the
science of the imaginative men.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter says: A
brief sojourn in the New England metropolis
confirms the information we have recently
been receiving from numerous reliable
sources, that the boot and shoe business is
sufficiently active to keep all the mani Lfactur-
ing establishments constantly employ 3D.
Several houses in the South and West, hay ing
had much larger trade than they anticipa T.
ed, are in the market replenishing their
stocks, and the demand for boots is likely to
be fully equal to the supply, up to the very
end of the seas on. Some complaints are
made that prices are lower than they ought
to be, ard new orders cannot easily be placed
at tne old rates. Still, as there have been no
substantial changes in the cost of labor or
material, it has not been an easy matter to
secure higher figures for goods. The manu-
tacturers see nothing to tempt them into the
slightest deviation from the policy of buying
sparingly, and only for immediate wants, to
which they have adhered with so much ad-
vantage for long time past. Their prudence
in this respect has served them very good
purpose. They have their business under
admirable control, and if they do not insist
upon rise in the merchandise they deal in.
it is because they feel an immovable conf
dence that the present scale of production is
guaranty against any such improvement in
leather as will essentially disturb their pros
poets of gain.

leeches, frogs, snakes, lizards, were sent
through the British postofice during the past
year; some in letter packets, others hidden
away in newspapers, in breach of postofice
rules. A horned frog and two live lizards
arrived thus from the United States, and
were delivered to their consignees. A live
snake was less fortunate. 1t escaped from
its packet and was found, without any ad-
dress, in the Holyhead and Kingstown ma
rine postoffice, and was thence forwarded, as

A GREATER danger than the troops of the
Gar threatens Turkey, and that is the dis
sensions among the commanders. Each gen.
eral wishes to become Seraskier or comman-
der-in-chief of the Turkish army and so each
general refuses TO assist the others for fear
one of his rivals may win a victory and the
prize. The fiercest rivalry is between Sulei-
man Pacha and Mehemet Ali. The Porte
has put an end to that qnarrel by removing
the former from his command. We had
similar difficulties in the beginning Of the

There is an abundance of wheat and barley
remaining in Bulgaria, Every hamles is
crowded with immense stacks of these grains
while very large crop of Indian coin is
awaiting the husbandman. Very little of the
crops raised this year in Roumania have
been touched by the Russians; consequently

ficulty of obtaining fuel they can winter in
Bulgaria very comfortably.

AS the Bulletin intimates, in an article else
where quoted from, Pinney is pinching out.
He seems to have been exhausted by the effort
of his voluminous arraignment, and to have
been scared and dumfounded by the nearness
of the noise. Possibly he might have recov-
bic damage done by his torpedo. We are
sure that he was as much frightened as glori-
fed by seeing his statement in print. If he
is at all the sagacious scamp We take him for,
he discovers by this time that it was not a
wise thing for him to attack from the only
standpoint he could assume-that of a re-
formed rogue with a suddenly quickened con-
science, the influential men against whom
his accusations are directed. He is probably
not elated with the success of his explosion.
The fact is, his story answers itself, in great
part What sane man will believe that Pin
ney fed from San Francisco because of having
manufactured fraudulent certificates, leaving
behind him a million of property in another
mans hands, with which he might, himself
have redeemed those certificates and then des-
troyed them2 Then the fact that for year
and half he has been fugitive from justice
without ever before pretending that he had
made any provision for his creditors, proves
the emptiness of his present pretense that he
had ever made such provision. 1t really seems
to us that the sensation is hardly worth the
indignation that has been expended upon it.
Probably the most effective vindication that
Mr. Carr can have, Gf any vindication is nee
essary, which we do not believe), would come
through suits at law against him by Pinney' S
bank creditors, These proceedings would, in
all likelihood, result in a judicial determine
ton that Pinney's whole story is an absurd
fabrication. AS to Sargent, Gorham, Page
and the rest, the probability is that this over
audacious rogue will soon be begging their
pardon as he is even now begging forgiveness

Hanging in effigy is a good deal less painful
and much more humane than the actual sus-
pension of the body corporeal still it is not
always agreeable to the parties whose proxy
the efigy is intended to illustrate. Even a
vicarious gibbeting is shock to tender sensi-
bilities. 1t seems from the following which
we clip from the Eureka Sentinel of May 9,
that the municipal government of that city
is not so popular as some other things:
Some of the more demonstrative of the OPP
ponents of incorporation, after the result had
been announced, got out an efigy and pa
raded the streets with it. 1t was in extremely
bad taste, but we hear that no insult was in
tended. 1t was mainly designed as take-otf,
so to speak, on the other side of the fight, but
those in charge of the dummy let their enthu-
siasm get the best of them and became per-
sonally insolent Such exhibitions, under
any circumstances, are no credit to the town
or the parties engaged in them After the
thing had been paraded over the town, it was
swung to the flagstaff and remained there at
daylight yesterday morning. Tommy Doug
las seeing it, lowered it at the point of six
shooter and threw it into the big ditch. 1t
was brought back and hoisted second time,
but Sheriff Sias happening along put an end
to further proceedings by ordering its sum-
mary eiectment from the street. 1t well
he did, as the affair gave promise of winding
I'D with serious row. At dark last NIGHT
the man of straw occupied a convenient spot
at the intersection of Euel and Clark streets

full demonstrations.

ignorance and bosh as the Democrat
conveyed to its readers week before last
in its criticisms on Mr.. Collins lecture

willing to overlook the silly vaporings
of an Irresponsible ignoramus so long
as he remains within the bounds of de.
cency but it is sorely taxing its patience,
insulting its intelligence and imposing
on its over-indulgence to treat it to such
..butchered English" as that delectable
morsel of criticism furnishes. While
Mr.. Collins makes no pretensions to
erudition he Is an effective worker in the
cause of Intemperance, and carries with
him sufficient recommendations to sat
