Depth Of Jupiter's Atmosphere.

The Popular Science Monthly says:
1t appears to me demonstrated by the
evidence thus far noted that in semi
transparent atmosphere of enormous
depth surrounding Jupiter, there float
vast cloud masses. sometimes in law
ers, at others in irregular heaps and
others having well-rounded forms.
These cloud masses undergo some
times remarkable changes in shape,
often forming and disappearing in a
very short time, and thus indicating
the inferior activity of the forces at
work below them-in other words.
the intense heat of Jupiter's real
globe. AS to the actual depth OF the
semi-transparent atmosphere in which
these cloud masses float, it would be
difficult to express an opinion. We do
not know how many eloud-layers
there are, how thick any cloud-layer
may be, how great may be the depth
of the vast rounded masses of cloud
whose upper surface Chat is, the sur
face remotest from Jupiter's true
surface) we can alone see under favor
able conditions. But we can indicate
minimum than which the atmos-
phere's depth is not less; and from all
the observation which | have exam
ined as bearing on this point | should
be disposed to assign for that mini
mum at least 5000 miles.

A I'rifling Mistake.

10 the House of Peers, during the
examination of the magistrates OF
Edinburgh, touching the particulars
of the Porteous Mob, in 1886. the
Duke of Newcastle having asked the
Provost with what kind OF shot the
sowDguard, commanded by Porteous,
bad loaded their muskets, received
the unexpected reply, "Ou just sic
as ane shoots dukes aud fools wi 7
The answer was considered as q
contempt of the House of Lords,
and the poor Provost would have
suffered from misconception of his
patois, had not the Duke of Argyle
(who must have been exceedingly
amused) explained that the worthy
chief magistrates expression, when
rendered into English meant to de-
scribe The shot used for ducks and

Justice in the South.

The Milwaukee Sentinel gives its
views on the southern outlook in the
following article It's use of the
word Democrat might have been
subs lituted by some other. 1t is the
dominant, lawless and brutal SOUTH
ern spirit that makes the trouble.
| We are In an era now when north
ern Democrats will come to under
stand this and will loudly condemn
such savage proceedings.
The trial of the Ellenton rioters is
10 progress at Charleston, S. G. The
circumstances of the riot will be re-
membered. Last year the Demo
Gratis organized rifle clubs all over
South Carolina with the declared
purpose of carrying the State at
whatever cost of blood might be
necessary. Promptly, aud with lit
tie attempt at concealment, they en-
tered upon the policy of iutimida-
ton. First notices were sent TO the
colored Republicans that they must
vote the Democratic ticket or suffer
the consequences. Many brave ne
groes refused to ssccumd to these
threats so it became necessary to
illustrate to them alternative.
In September several hundred
whites, equipped aid Differed in
military style, assembled in Elenton
in Aiken county for a grand killing
Doe They had formal lists of prom.
inent Republicans IN the vicinity,
and went promptly to work 10 kill
them. In q short time they had
slaughtered between fifteen ana
twenty; then the arrival of a com.
pany of United States troops put q
stop to this pleasant combination of
politics and pleasure. Sill they
managed to drive hundred poor,
frightened negroes into swamp,
and were hunting them down with
great enjoy ment, when they were
again interrupted by federal soldiers.
Col. A. 2. Butler, who was in COM
mand of the rifle clubs, pledged his
honor to the commander of the
q. S. troops, that there should be
no more bloodshed, and that his men
would disperce peaceably to their
homes. TO illustrate the high, SEN
sitive. chivalrous sense of honor that
oharacterizes the Southern, they then
proceeded to pick off with their
rifles such struggling negroes as they
overlook on their homeward jour-
ney.
The trial or rather the prelimin-
aries to the trial commenced on
Tuesday, two weeks ago. There
are 80 persons indicted for the vio-
lation of federal law against the in.
timidation of voters, and the trial is
before the United States Circuit
Court, Chief Justice Waite, and
Judge Bond presiding. The prison.
ers have been divided into sections
of twelve each. The defense began
with i OF dilatory motions which
were SUCCESSFULLY overrnled by
Judge Waite. These consumed

Paper in Central Asa.

Nearly all the paper which is used
in Central Asia is manufactured at
Khokand, and at Tcharku, small
village in the Khanate of Lhokand.
The process of making it is rude and
slow, yet interesting as hint of the
achievements of the native Asiatics
in the industrial arts. We extract an
account from the interesting work of
"Schuyler on Turkistan:"
The rags are alternately pounded
and macerated until they are reduced
to thick pulp, which is then collect
ed into round ball. Portions of this
are then placed into a tub of water
and mixed well together. The paper
maker takes an oblong sieve, made of
thin glass stretched over a wooden
frame, and puts into it quantity of
the pulp-shaking it and inclining it
until it is equally distributed over
the surface. After allowing it to
stand for few moments, he turns it
out on a board. In this way one man
can make about three hundreds leaves
per day, which are placed one on the
other, with layers Of felt between, and
submitted to a heavy pressure to
squeeze out the moisture. In the
morning they are taken out, and hung
for drying on a wall exposed TO the
south. The sizing and polishing are
done in the bazaar. by different set
of workmen. The size usually en-
ployed is kind of dextrine found
in the roots of the Shirash, plant OF
the lily family; and the polishing is
made by smooth, heavy stone. BY
this process the value of the paper is
nearly doubled (trom ten to thirteen
or twenty cents sheet). Imperfect
paper ia, however, never thrown away;
for at the time of sizing, holes or fis-
sures are patched up with their strips,
aud the surface is made so even that
the defects can only be discovered by
holding the sheet up to the light. The
paper, which is usually gray, although
sometimes colored pink and blue, is
very tough and firm, and excellent
for the gummy ink with which the
natives write. For the purposes OF
the Europeans, it is of but little use;
and the Russians have to import all
the paper they require.

THE EDITOR.

The editor who wills to please,
Must humbly crawl upon his knees,
And kiss the hand that beats him
Or if he dare attempt to walk,
Must toe the mark that others chalk,
And cringe to all that meet him
Says one, your subjects are too grave
Too much morality you have
Too much about religion
Give me some witch or wizard tales,
With slip shod ghosts, with fins aad scales,
Or feathers like pigeon.

Composed of kings and queens and lords,
OF border wars and Gothic hordes,

To craze the fair creation
Give us some recent foreign news.
OF Russians, Turks-the Greeks ar Jews,
Or any other nation.
The man of drilled scholastic lore
Would like to see little more
In scraps of Greek or latin
The merchants rather have the price

Or India silk or satin.
Another cries, want more fun,
A witty anecdote or pun,
A rebus or riddle
Some long for missionary news,
And some-of worldly, carnal views
Would rather hear fiddle
The critic, too, of classic skill,
Must dip in gall his gander quill,
And scrswl against the paper
OF all the literary fools,
Bred in our colleges and schools,
He cuts the silliest caper.

A "Reminiscences of Parson Brownlow.

Andrew Johnson and Meredith L.
Gentry were opposing candidates
for Governor of Tennessee in 1856.

ic party Of The State at that time v as
edited by E. G.. Eastman, who pos
sessed the happy faculty of stirring
up the bile of political opponents.
Fbe contest between the parties was
fierce one, but Johnson trinmphed.
Gentry bowed gracefully to the will
of the people aud retired TO his farm
in Bedford county. Two enthusiast
tic friends, Colonel Matt Martin and
Rev William q. Brownlow, soon
paid him visit. They tarried sew
eral days, and when they were about
to depart Gentry, taking down q
Bible and hymn book, said 81
never permit distinguished divine
to visit my house and leave without
saying prayers for the family and
neighborhood. Brownlow, you must
pray" The invitation was accepted
and after chapter in the Bible was
read and hymn sung, they all got
down upon their knees. Among the
petitions offered by the eccentric
parson" was this one: "May the
Lord send beam of grace upon the
heart of Andrew Johnson and his
man Eastman" Gentry at once
sprung to his feet and exclaimed ia
a loud voice: "Stop, Brownlow, stopl

Tearly two days. When they had
slI failed, the leading coansel for the
prisoners exclaimed, "Weil, we are
at the mercyof the prosecution, God
help u.s., "You are at the mercy of
truth and justice" said Mr.. Corbio,
the district attorney aud United
States senasor-elect. Judge Waite
also rebuked tho counsel for casting
such an insinuation upon the court.
The frat witness was a white Re-
publican named Moore. He swore
to the threats made against the lives
of those who voted the Republican
| ticket. On cross-examinatioD, the
counsel for the defense were wholly
unable TO break down his testimony
but they were at great pains TO prove
that the witness was carpet. bag
ger.
This will serve to indicate that
the defense rely on political feeling
to prevent verdict of guilty. The
jury consists of six black and six
negroes. The foreman is said TO be
the wealthiest man in Charleston.
But it is probable that among the
six white mon one or more will be
found who justify the proceedings of
the rifle clubs in tho last campaign.
Of course, single juror of that
mind will make it impossible to con-
vict. 1t 10 .his that defeats the ad-
ministration OF justice in the South
in such cases. Ii is announced that
Gov, Stone, of Mississippi, has caused
special session of court to be called
in Kemper County to investigate
the Chisholm massacre. This is WELL
it indicates a desire on tho part of
the hich his previous
conduct had MOTTO have murderers
delt with in Mississippi as they are
delt with in Wisconsin and other
Northern States But we find it
impossible to feel any considerable
degree of confidence in the result
Of course the proceedings at the
speciai session can only be oenject-
ured. If we were to venture a predic-
ton it would be something TO this
effect The Democratic offices of
the Democratic court will summon
a Democratic grand jury. Ii is pos
sible that in the panel will be some
of the two hundred who fred from
behind cover at Cornelis Chisholm,
when the heroic girl offered her body
as shield for her father. These
grand jurors will call such witnesses
as they please and hear such testi-
mony as they please; and in the end
will indict nobody. Or if they do, it
will only be to devolve upon a petit
jury the duty of seeing their i'm
munity. We would be glad to be-
lieve that the machinery OF justice in
Mississippi is efficient enough to
bring these cruel, oowardly assassins
to the gal!ows but we cannot.
