At the late session of the Confederate
House the Democracy attached to the
Army Appropriation bill rider which
prohibits the use Of the army as a posse
coma5tatus. What is the character of
that rider? What in purpose and newt
able effect :? Is it not an indulgence, a
license, in the loyal States, for every
violent crime2 A proclamation of i'm
punity to the Communist and tramp, to
all the turbulent and vicious classes in
those States, in numbering, burning.
and plundering? Is it not an open in
element, indeed, to instruction
and strikes? The eliminating in
lqulty OF the Confederate conspir-
acy 20 ruin the loyal States through
the destruction of it's industry and
wealth? But such is Democratic re-
form-such the Confederate Democracy
which now dominate in the House. But
what say our loyal people-what the
loyal Democracy? Will they quietly
acquiesce in their own ruin? They can
not, dare not, ignore the fact that every
Northern Democrat in Congress voted
for this Infamous rider Will they re-
turn such men as their representatives
in that body. Let them awaken to their
peril. They cannot too soon, nor exert
themselves too energetically to defeat
the plotting for their ruin !-Erch0nge.

which consists of something like cross
between the dress of Zouave. a mans
suit, and the outfit of a picnicker. It
was gray in color, her hat was brown
straw, and her CATERS sported many
buttons. She wore fimsy brown neck
tie, tied in bow, and carried an UNI
brella and stout walking stick. When
spoken to by the policeman, she "jawed
back" as is her usual custom and tbe
custom OF her sex, and he, never having
heard of DR.. Mary Walker, thought it to
be his duty to arrest the mixed appari-
ton before him and have it authorita-
lively investigated. When in the station
she took off her hat and asked: "Do T
look like man ?" Having established
her identity, and satisfied the officers
that she was simplya fool and not a Gull
prit, she was suffered to depart, after
sassing " everybody to her hearts con-
tent.

VoT1Na the freedom Of the city in En-.
gland is regarded as one of the most
signal of honors, and it formed one of
the most important incidents in the
grand municipal reception recently
given to Lords Beaconsfeld and Sails
bury. It is looked upon as the highest
compliment that the city of London can
bestow upon any one. It is conferred
by that part of the British METROPOLIS
called "The City," which has it's own
municipal government and is under the
Jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor. The
ceremony is impressive, and in accord
with the ancient usage. In the first
place the corporation tenders the priv
llege, and invites the person on whom it
is to be conferred to appear before the
City Chamberlain and receive his formal
permission. The future freeman's name.
and those of civic officials who youch for
his worthiness, are next recorded in a
book reserved for the purpose. The
Chamberlain then administers an oath
OF fidelity, and gives the freeman a gold
box containing parchment document
vouching for his citizenship. Among
the distinguished persons who have been
invested with civic freedom were Gen.
Butcher, Napoleon ILL.,, and the late
Sultan Abdul Aziz. Last year the honor
was conferred on ex-President Grant.

The SIM Made of Metal.

In a recent article in the Nineteenth
Century, by Mr.. j. Norman Lockyer, the
writer very strongly objects to DR.. ORA
per's discovery of oxygen in the sun.
Mr.. Lockyer says he has gone carefully
over the whole ground and finds: First.
that the photograph on which DR.. ORA
per bases the discovery is not one COM
potent to settle such an important ques-
ton; second. that he does not find the
condolences between bright solar lines
and oxygen lines in the part of the spec
trum with which he is most familiar:
and, third, that comparing DR.. Diapers
photograph with the fine photograph of
the spectrum obtained by Mr.. Ruther-
ford he "fails to find any true bright
line in the sun whatever coincident with
any line of oxygen whatever" Mr..
Lockyer sums up the evidence as to the
suns composition in these words: $50

The story is told of some of the wise
men of the Eastern States, that they wrote
to Fort Worth, Texas, asking the COM
manding officer if accommodations could
be furnished for four astronomers who
desired to observe the eclipse under IA
vorable circumstances. They were much
surprised to learn that Fort Worth, in
stead OF being military post, was city
of 10000 inhabitants.

Rev. DIR. s. I. PRIME, the veteran
" Ireneus Of the New York Observer.
offers some valuable testimony on the
subject OF intoxication in wine drinking
countries. He is veteran traveller, and
has recently spent ten months on the
continent, in which he has supplemented
the cursory observations of the ordinary
tourist by special investigation of the
drinking habits, through visiting fairs.
reviews, out-of door shows, and all such
gatherings, as well as taking an occa-
slonal look into the drinking places
themselves. The result of it was that
in these ten months, during which he
visited the chief cities of France, Ger
many and Italy, he saw just one person
drunk. Pursuing his investigation still
further, he made it daily practice to
read the police reports in the local
papers, and found his Impressions con-
firmed, one city of $4,000 inhabitants
not reporting single arrest for intoxi-
cation in forty days. "Ireneus" there
fore feels no hesitation in declaring his
conviction that drunk enness is "far
very far" from being SO common in
those wine-drinking countries as in
Northern Europe and the United States.

The public debt of Europe was divid-
ed as follows in 1876: France, 81, 687,-
921, 400; Prussia, 1929, 1852, 375; Italy,
$4,000 100000; Russia, 81, 254, SIC, 900 !;
Spain, $2,65O, 100000 Turkey, $927,-
100000; Great Britain, So, 1884, 852, 100.
These are the heaviest debts, and they
bear hardest on Turkey, Italy, Russia
and Spain. While some of these debts
may have slightly decreased in the last
two years, others have greatly increased,
as in the case of Russia and Turkey.

THE German press, in commenting
upon the treaty of Berlin, seem to have
taken their cue from Prince Bismarck's
farewell address to his diplomatic col
leagues. The conviction is expressed in
all quarters that the Berlin treaty is a
partial compromise between antagonistic
interests, which, leaving sundry i'm
portant points unsettled, will lead to
Interior compromise, or else to fresh
hostility in course of time. At the same
time it is felt on all hands that, if the
immense advantages gained by England
are turned to account, the future stages
OF the Oriental question are likely to be
marked by fresh victories of Great
Britain. There is but one opinion that
If Turkish army organized, or rather
d1sorganized, la Turque. very nearly
succeeded in defeating the Russians, an
Ottoman force cooperating with English
troops for the defense of Asia Minor and
the Bosphorus must be crowned with
success. Meanwhile it is hoped that an
impetus may be given to Levantine in
dustry and trade by recent remodelings
sufficiently to strengthen the Ottoman
empire, to retard war, and, perhaps. to
cause future arrangements to be effected

Facts to be Remembered About the Sun.

Facts to be Remembered About the Sun.
The sun is 100000 times as large as
this earth.
The sun is 400 times as far off as the
moon.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds here
would weigh 2, 200 pounds if on the sur
face of the SUN.
The heat given off by the sun would
melt 287, 200,0 900 cubic miles of ice every
second.
The diameter of the earth bears the
same relation to it's distance from the
sun as the breadth of hair to 1875 feet.
A railroad train travelling without
stops at the rate of forty miles an hour
would get to the sun in 1853 years.
The sun is believed to become some
$50 feet smaller every year.
This contraction would be sufficient to
generate the enormous quantity of heat
which it radiates.
Another theory is that comets and
meteoric matter falling into the sun may
be it's aliment to Offset the tremendous
loss which combustion certaily involves.
1t would require the combustion of
thirty feet of coal over the entire surface
of the sun every second to generate the
same heat.
The stars are supposed to average
larger than our sun, and to have plan
etary systems like his.
The nearest star is $50, 900 times as far
off as our sun.
It takes light eight minutes to come
from tie sun, but it must have required
$4,000 years to come from the farthest
visible stars.
When the eleven-year storms on the
sun occur, the magnetic needle on the
earth is variable and sometimes consid-
erably DETECTED.
The earth is flying around the sun at
the rate Of 1000 miles minute.
The SUN and all the stars are moving
through space, accompanied by their
planetary systems, at rate varying from
twenty to 200 miles second.
Some of the sun spots (craters) are
100, 900 miles in diameter, and one of
them would easily swallow up the whole
OF the planets, Jupiter himself only
making mouthful.
Maedler's curious and brilliant specu-
lation is that the star hlcyone is the
central sun of our universe, and that
our sun and the visible stars are swing
ing around it in orbits measured by
millions of years.
