During the month, s3u liter swi hi Hreulain ai,
evening star. He made appi icaii LONESOME
time ago to be appointed ON the morning
force, where the nay lis better but oRingst05
the hard times it was deemed best 10 make
mo change. He reaches the meridian about:
{ o'clock, and goes of watch precisely at az
o'clock midnight. ssss,5. .4, .ss
Mercurs's engagement as a morning star
terminates on the oath. when, it is pre-
sumed, he win go into winter quarters. pos
sibiy renting himself out for o circulating
medium in a thermometer tube.
Venus is chiefest among the morning
stars, and altogether lovely. She rises
about half.past 4, takes bath, walks 9out
for hail an hour. and breakfasts on ham and
eggs. As cold weather approaches she will
not rise SO early, and toward the end OF the
month will not be visible until nearly 6
o'clock. Venus is in good condition, q
trifie thin in flesh, perhaps. but with no ac-
cident IL is thought she will reduce her last
years record. She Is now travelling toward
the sun Mt the rate OF several million miles
minute. 49,
Uranus positively refuses to be seen in
October except on special business. Office
hours, from 8 A. NJ. to A. III. Pull the
night-bell.
Neptune is 2,7o0, 900 miles from the sun,
but will probably be compelled to move up
closer on account Of the high price Of coal.
He is running a fshing-smack, and ocea-
sonalIy makes temperance speech, adYo-'
eating salt water us a beverage. go
Mars is numbered among the morning
stars, and gets down town about half past 8,
brcakfasting two hours later. he wears bis
hair cut close to the scalp, carries brace OF
pistols and several ugly knives, and is in
favor OF declaring war against Mexico.
The slightest reference to Hayes's peace
policy with the Indians throws him into a
paroXysm of rage. He is now drawing q
pension OF seven dollars month from the
Government.
Saturn duripg:the month will be the most
interesting of all the planets. Heis on duty
all night, and will be until after the Novem-
Der elections. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that he is conducting a vigorous campaign
for honest money, having renounced the
| "rings" with which he has been more or
! less identified all his life. He rises about 5
| in the afternoon, takes a sun-bath, exercises
on the horizontal bar, wrestles with health
lift, and reads the papers. After light
breakfast he carries in the coal, drives up
the COWS, and cracks the kindling for next
morning He neither smokes nor chews,
and always pays for his Derrick in advance.
| II he didn't he would not get it.

SINGULAR GEOLOGICAL FAcTs.-1n Nc
Leod county, seventy miles back from the
Mississippi river, says the Winona {Minn.)
Republican, the Hastings and Dakota rail-
road some six months ago commenced drill
ing we'll for water-tank. The well is an
iron-tube well, six inches in diameter, and
sunk with drills. The superintendent in
charge of the work furnishes the following
interesting memoranda of the soil through
which the drills passed: First 2 feet, black
soil; next Il feet, yellow clay; IS feet Of
blue clay; 10 feet powders OF all kinds and
very hard; had to sharpen the drills every
two feet; II feet yellow clay; 7 feet
blue clay; : feet blue muck, with water;
Is feet blue clay, without sand, gravel, or
stone; 2 feet of butternut log in good
state OF preservation, not petrifed; then
GIL feet OF blue clay, exactly similar to the
blue clay above the log, making the vein OF
clay 12S feet thick, with the singular spec
tacle OF this well-preserved log imhedded
in the vein at the depth of 1T feet from the
surface. At the depth Of 240 feet the drill
struck gravel and stones as large as hens
eggs, and also entered vein Of water flow
ing with the force OF subterranean river.
The water spouted IS feet above the ground,

United States Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-In the su-
preme Court to-day the case of the United
States, plaintiff in error, Us. Fausto Mora,
was submitted by Assistant AttoTney-Ge
eral Smith for plaintiff in error, and by F.
r. Coudert for defendant in error. This
case involved the question Of the construc-
ton Of the act of 1862, requiringa clearance
bond in cases where outgoing vessels were
bound for such destination as should cause
the suspicion that their cargoes were in
tended for ports within the Confederate
lines, whether in all cases the amount OF the
bonds should conform to one section OF the
law OF fell within the discretion OF the GUS
toms officers, as provided in another sec
ton.

There are rumors in this city that party
OF NEWCOMERS will soon visit Kentucky
and make some proposition looking to the
early completion of the gap between Mount
Sterling and Huntington. II they come
prepared to put up the money necessary TO
complete the work, they will he received
with open arms, and every facility given
them In the prosecution OF their work. we
believe we can assure them that the people
of Fayette, Clark. and Montgomery coun-
ties and the city Of Lexington Will give
them quit-claim deed to all OF their rights
in the completed section OF the road
from Lexington to Mount Sterling. If,
on the other hand, they come to ask our
people to furnish the money for them to
complete the road with, their visit. is likely
to prove fruitIeSs and waste OF time. The
gentlemen who own the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad have some S300O0,000 inv est
ed in that road. aud by an expenditure OF
not over S3,0O0,O0O in building the road
from Huntington to Nit. Sterling, they will
have through route from st. Louis and the
West to the Atlantic Ocean much shorter
than any rival route. Besides this, the value
OF their investment in the Chesapeake and
Ohio will be increased from twenty-five to
forty per cent. BY spending S3,OOO,O00
they will make Sl0,000,000, and we hope
they will do it.
