THE MOONS or NAPS.

A discovery that will rank among the most
important in astronomy was made at Washing
ton on the night of the 10th inst, by Prof.
Asaph Hall. The planet Mars, since the in
venton of the telescope, has proved more con-
venient for examination and there is more
known about it than any other celestial object,
not even excepting the Moon, since of that only
one side is ever turned toward us. Venus,
though nearer us than Mars, is never seen to
as great advantage. All who have studied
the characteristics of Mars have been struck
10y It's similarity in many particulars to the
earth; such as having continents and seas
frozen poles where the progress of Winter and
Summer can be alternately traced; day OF
about the same length as ours; an atmosphere
over portions of which clouds are fitting. But
the one thing in which Mars was supposed to
differ totally from the earth was the absence
of moon. That reprOach is now taken away
from the red planet, thanks to the twenty-six-
inch refractor at the United States Naval
Observatory, and the labors of Prof Hall. At
the present time Mars is in a better position
for close observation than has been the case for
several years. The refracting telescope of the
Observatory is the best instrument of its kind
which has ever been turned toward the sky.
Yet in the hands of less experienced and alert
observers this discovery would never have
been made. For, strange to say, the existence
of a satellite of Mars had not been suspected,
while the traditions of modern astronomy are
rife with specuatiOns as to such companion
to the planet Venus. The question now is, not
whether Mars has satellite, but whether it
has two.
This great triumph, which will go down in
to history along with Herschers discovery of
Uranus and lie Verrier's prediction of the ex-
istence and place of Neptune-is purely Amer
lean. 1t is not the first triumph of the great
refractor whose object glass is probably
the most perfect piece Of workmanship
that Alvan Clark g. Sons of Cambridge,
Mass, have ever produced, for that instrument
signalized its entry into the field of research by
determining the number of the moons OF
Uranus. That though important to astro-
nomical science, was not discovery with any
ultimate bearings. The fact that Mars has
one or more satellites will be hailed as new
proof of the nebular hypothesis, as their sup
posed absence had been urged as one of the
weaknesses of that theory. The discovery will
make such noise in the world that possibly
it may get to the ears OF Democratic Con-
gressmen and bring blush to their cheeks
when they remember their niggardliness in
cutting down the appropriation for the excel
lent work of the Naval Observatory.

position to the popular will. The last re-
soune of the anti-Republicans is to clamor for
martial law, but so long as Gen. Berthaut
is Minister of War, that desperate meas
ure is not likely to he attempted. Through
out the campaign he has displayed
great moderation, and restrained the Cabinet
from menacing the people with threats of
military Intervention. While the Royailst
camp is thus in state of panic, NJ. Gambetta
addresses the Republicans with the conscious
ness Of approaching triumph. He declares the
charge of latent Radicalism which has been
harped upon by MacMahon, to be an amblgu-
ity and a falsehood, and warns the
President that when France has pronounced
her will there must be either submission or
resignation He reiterates bis conviction that
his former estimate of 400 Republican Depu-
ties will be exceeded, and reports recruits

ism. Being mastery organizer, NJ. Gambetta
is entitled to speak with authority on the
general situation. He sees, no doubt, that
from the first there was no middle course.

political bondage, or they would prove them
selves worthy of the heritage which is now

but sick at heart, to drive home with an angry

loud and vulgar quarrel, shameful accusation
and blow and the woman ran shrieklDg f0r

in the midst of an excited tbrong of servants
and strangers, the unhappy union came 10 an
end forever. The Marquis, on his part deny

ordinary temptation, and the husband is fool
and a brute if he do not take extraordinary
pains TO guard against them. Under such cir
cumstances to treat his wife with merely the
ordinary Indifference and GOODNESS which are
apt to spring up between married people whose
tastes and pursuits are unlike, is nothing less
than a crime-the very worst and most dan
gerous form of cruelty. He must pursue her
wandering footsteps with untlring patience
and tenderness, and to compensate for the
loss of those salutary home influences which
she will probably never know until she is too
old to be greatly touched by them, he must
be watchful guardian and perennial lover.
If he cannot be this, and yet will marry an
opera-singer, he is either knave or an idiot,
or most likely both.

EOT MILK IND COLD V4TEP.

"He that has burned himself with hot milk,

proverb is satire on the military operations
in Bulgaria. The facility with which the Dan

stormed and the Balkan scaled Overheated

they said, was such an easy thing to those
who were well grounded in the rudiments
They had only to collect their pontoons and
wait for their supply trains, in order to enjoy a
promenade across the Danube; they had only
to appear before a fortress and it would be
theirs they had only to threaten a mountain de-
file and their cavalry would be caIteling through
the villages beyond. While one Turkish gar
rison was cooped up in Rustchuk and another
in Silistria, the Widdin and Shumla armies
on either flank would be beaten back and
crushed, and Ghourko, like a hawk, would
swoop down upon Adranople and set all the
pigeons of Constantinople into flutter. The
Turks were brave, but they had not learned
the science of war. a maddened bull might
attack an engine with its horns but could
not throw it off the track I; nor could the
courage and desperation of the Turkish SOL
dicrs prevail against the complex machinery
of the Russian military system. Their ad-

have been slow their forces might not

LILLE PATTI DIIORCE.

The private life of the prima donna piques
the curiosity of society as sharply as the
domestic affairs Of kings and queens and the
secret chronicles of imperial palaces. When we
have dropped a metaphOrical tear over the
woes of Margherita, when our heart has warmed
at the winning ways and pretty little boots of
the Daughter of the Regiment, it is impossible
to go home and straightway forget all about
the fascinating creature whose joys and sorrows
we have made our own. For whole evening
she has reigned queen over two or three
thousand people, and she will not be dethroned
by the turning out of the gas. Elsa was lovely
when we had our last glimpse of her as the
curtain fell but how will it be by daylight 7
Does she pour ont the coffee for a real Lohen-
grin at breakfast Is her life all love and
flowers and smiles and music and diamond
bracelets!
Never, perhaps, has there been divinity of
the stage in whose fortunes the American pub
lie took so keen an interesta 5 in those of Ade
lima Patti. We have chosen to look upon her
as a conntrywoman of ours (Which she is mott,
raised by the prodgal fayors Of heaven to
dizzy height of glory, where all the world lay
prcstrate at her feet /; and in our admiration
of her career there has been mingled sort of
patriotic pride, half-deiined impression that
she is one of the choicest products of our free
and fertile Republic. The recollection of that
November night, eighteen years ago, when the
beautiful little figure first tripped upon the
stage of the Academy of Music, and amazed
the town with the loveliest Lucia that ever
rejeiced our eyes, has never lost its freshness !;
and although it is more than sixteen
years since the young girl left America to cap
tivate London and Paris and st. Petersburg
the personal regard with which she inspired
the people among whom she passed her child
hood and made her earliest fame has suffered
no dmnution. The stories of her private unhap-
piness with which gossip 30 long busted itself
were heard, therefore, in tins country with par
ticular concern, and the scandal which has now
reached the fullest possible publicity by the
action of Paris court has nowhere created Il
more painful sensation than in America.
The brief decision and the complaints of the
two parties in their actions for divorce are the
only documents in the case that have been
published and the evidence. whatever it may
have been, is suppressed But it is easy enough,
from p.errlsal of the complaints, to get at the
history of this miserable marriage. 1t is usual
TO assume, when a match is made between
money on one side and rank on the other, that
love has not been consulted. This is an un-
fair inference; but if there was any affection
in this union-an alliance zealously promoted,
it is said, by the Empress Eugenie-it appears
TO have hardly outlasted the honeymoon. The
Marquis OF CaN, according TO his wife's
story. began very soon to display a bad tenn
per and n hard heart. He believed that he had
committed an great act of condesccnsion in sell

SycRErlRY sHERN4N on RESUMPTIOy.

On the subject of resumption, Secretary
Shermans speech was in almost every respect
admirable. 1t is therefore the more to be re-
gretted that it falls short at any point. No
one has stated more f0rcibly and clearly the
necessity for resumption, the nature of the
process, the pledges which bind the Govern
ment to complete that process by a fixed date,
and the steps already taken to that end. Be-
lief in a permanent paper currency, irredeem-
able and deriving value only from its legal
tender quality, Mr.. Sherman styles "a mild
"form of lunacy." He reasons that such cur
rency would necessarily fuctuate in value
here, differ from the money In use in other
