Although the appropriation for the expense
of observing the transit of Mercury next
month is meagre, it may enable the astrono-
mcrs of the Naval Observatory to do Their
share of the work efficiently. The observa-
tions will probably aid in settling the question
raised by the late NJ. lie NeTier, as to the
presence of one or more planets inside
of Mercury's orbit and may also add
to the means for determining the dis
lance of the sun. But for far more
important work, the observation of the total
eclipse of the sun next Summer, which will
he visible in our Western Territories, no pro-
vision has yet been made by Congress. The
appropriation has been stricken out The lame
excuse for this is that the committee were not
fully informed as to the importance OF the
matter; let us hope that, when it is again
brought before Congress, there will be no
chance for the plea of ignorance Oh the' part
of our legislators.

DollyGsount and Creedmoor by the
assertion that Americans are fa-
miliar with the use OF the rifle from
the CRADLE" that the appearance of
this yeritably riAe-bred Yankee on
foreign soil may be complacently
anticipated as a fulfllment of a
kind of poetic justice. Though
born in the northern part of this
State, Carver was hardly more than
an infant when his parents removed
to Minnesota. In the course of
one of the murderous Indian forays
of some twenty years ago in the
latter State he was carried off a
prisoner by the savages, amongst
whom he grew nearly to manhood,
and acquired a truly wonderful
skill with both bow and gun.
OF his reclamation to civilization
and subsequent quieter career on
the Pacific coast not much is
known, save that the rife-shooting
and pigeon-killing contests of the
past few years have stimulated him
to exhibit his own craftsmanship
in public, to the astonishment Of
all beholders. And he really is a
marvel in his speciality, doing all
with a single bullet that the most
expert of his competitors can ac-
complish with a scattering charge
of fine shot. More than this, he is
able to shoot as unerringly from
the saddle of a horse on q full run
as from the solid ground, and can
hit a ringing bell or other sounding
object while blindfolded. He says
that he has shot birds and animals
by night, in the darkest woods,
merely by aiming in the direction
indicated by their cries. Firing
very quickly, and often without
seemingly sighting" his object at
all, he appears to be dead-shot by
general physical instinct, and in
deed hardly understands himlelf
the principle of his amazing execu-
ton. Here, then, is a genuine ma
tive American "born.rifleman" for
English and French sportsmen to
try their skill against, and it is safe
to predict that no original Ameri-
can product will attract mare atten-
ton in Paris this summer. Roman
tic as his outward aspect is, DR..
Carver is modest in conversation,
and believes Captain Bogardus to
he the best shot with fowling-
piece in this country, if not in the
world.

and an evening spent with her hus-
band alone counts as the ne plus
ultra of deadly dullness. Personal
love for him has died out, if even
it once existed under the guise of
passion because of novelty; and
whatever she may be to others, her
husband finds her uniformly cold
and repellant. Motherhood is her
bugbear; children unwelcome in
truders; and there is no more mis-
cradle woman extant than the FASH
ionable wife with a baby, that him
ders her from joining in the sea-
sons vulgar pleasures. Essentially
selfish and shallow; love has as lit.
tie meaning for her as the doctrine
of duty or the glory Of sacrifice;
and those who know her stand
aside in a kind of wonder at the
scheme of creation which includes,
among its offsets, being without
uses and virtues-a woman with,
presumably, a soul like any other,
absolutely destitute of the love
which saves the world from worse
than death-of the reality which
seeks truth and lives in it-of all
nobleness of aspiration and all
of life-a woman

sole religion-iashion.

A Hundred New York ROys GiveH
start in the West.
New York World. June 6.l
In commemoration of the mar
riage of her son, Mr.. W. W. Astor,
to Miss Paul, which was solemnized
at Philadelphia Thursday, Mrs.
John Jacob Astor has made to the
New York Children's Aid Society a
donation of $500 for the purpose
Of paying the expenses of finding
good and permanent homes IN the
West for one hundred of the deGti-
tute boys Of New York. The
money was put into the hands Of
Mr. Charles L. Brace, the secretary
'of the society, with instructions to
see the wishes Of the donor proper
ly carried out. Mr.. Brace has per-
formed his task by selecting from
among the inmates of the various
lodging houses deserving objects of
charity, and on Tuesday evening he
started with his hundred wards for
st. Louis, via the Erie railroad.
The intention is to place the boys
with respectable farmers i'll the
State of Missouri, where they may
have an opportunity to work their
way up. Before starting the boys
were informed of the circumstances
under which they were going, and
as the train lett the station they
made the depot ring with three
hearty cheers for Mrs. Astor, Mr.
Astor and Miss Paul. Many of the
boys were orphans, and nearly all
of them were half-orphans. They
were mostly newsboys or shoe
blacks, and their new start in life
was an agreeable surprise, as it will
probably prove an important bene-
fit to them,

He turned his eyes with a look
of hopeless despair toward the
choir. "Let us have an end to
this. Sing the ffty-fourth hymn"
he said snappishly, "and be deuced
quick about it. Another ten min
utes Of this agony would kill me. "

may decide upon, one Of their own
number, kill him and cut him up.
The twofold benefits of this plan
are at once apparent to the dullest
comprehension. 1t furnishes the
surviving students with good, fresh
subjects, of firm texture, and it re-
duces the number of raw doctors,
thus affording the public, living
and dead, the widest protection
from the rayages of the medical
student it has ever enjoyed. The
plan may seem a little severe on
the ill-fated students, but then if a
young man has not the martyr
spirit with which to lead him to
thoroughly devote himself to the
profession, he is unworthy to enter
upon a professional career.

Travelling in Japan,

A long ride on a japanese pack
horse is an epoch in the life of any
traveller. AS the animals are shod
with straw, ard as the roads are
very rough, they never attempt
anything beyond a walk even with
the most acknowledgements. The
traveller is perched high up in a
hard pilliOn, in a sort of a valley,
the sides of which are composed of
his luggage, spare hats, shoes, girths
and straps rolled into bundles; his
legs are doubled up so that his
knees touch his chin, and the sen.
sation is like that of being on the
back of a camel. Thus placed he
must perform his journey, or as an
alternative he may be driven to the
Kago, or litter. This may either
be basket slung on a pole, or a
regular box with doors and sliding
shutters. The litters of men of
rank, such as once were frequent
enough in the streets of Yeddo, but
which have gone the way of SO
many remnants of old Japan, were
often small rooms gOrgeously dec
Grated and painted, and requiring a
score of coolies to carry them; but
the litters which the ordinary trav-
eler must use are of the basket
type, and as provoeants of suffering
and misery are second only to the
pack k-horse.
To the native, whose normal
position when not otstanding or Sleep
ing is squatting on the heels of his
feet, confinement of several hours
in Kago, with scarcely a change
of position, is no hardship; but to
the European the agony Of sitting
cramped up in the space of an arm
chair, with legs curled up, tucked
in or huddled together, for an in
definite period, must be actually
suffered to be appreciated. Tempo
rary relief may be obtained by sit
ting with the legs hanging over the
sides but in this case they either
Craze the ground or come in con-
tact with the huge bolders with
which the road is Uttered; by
stretching them out in front, when
they kick against the coolie; or by
stopping altogether and walking,
which means loss Of time, but which
is the only efiicacious method of
escaping the pains of cramp. The
Kago is, however, much more rapid
than the paok-horee, and far more
economical. The coolies are we'll
trained, sure-footed, stalwart fell
lows-as a rule, four to a litter Gov
ering easily their five or six miles
an hour, and resting but rarely.
The motion, however, is very un.
pleasant, and is apt, like that of a
swing, to make the unaccustomed
traveller feel Sick Belgralia.

New York Tribune
The long procession of pilgrims
with their faces turned toward the
setting sun knows no abatement.
The stay-at- home traveller has an
excellent field for the study of alien
manners and customs at Castle
Garden, with a little ethnology
thrown in. There were 1891 emf
grants passed muster there on
Wednesday last. They were of sew
eral religions and nationalities.
There were three hundred Nor
mons from the British empire and
Denmark. They were all bound
for the Salt Lake Jerusalem or
Mecca. They had actually found
something to believe in Joe Smiths
astonishing bible. There were also
Mennonites from southern Russia,
in long sheepskin garments. These
half Baptists and half Quakers are
actually venerable as a religious
sect, since they have had a separate
and distinct existence for three cen
turies and a half. They date their
first emigration to this country as
far back as 1858. So the past and
present are linked together by in
herited faiths. All that is new un-
der the sun has a flavor of antiqui-
ty. So, too, the races, looking for
"freSh fields and pastures new,"
carry their household gods with
them. Thus they seek a promised
land, a new Canaan, a haven of the
soul as well as the body.
From our own shores, also, the
westering tide of emigration con-
stantly takes its way. Restless hu-
manity is never satisfied, or can
always better itself by moving
on" 0ver-population seems to be
one of the conditionsof high ciyili-
zation, which sends forward its
cohorts to subdue the waste places.
While Mormons and Mennonites
were staring about them at the
Battery, a little band Of 100 New
York boys were starting under the
auspices Of an excellent society to
find homes in the same far West.
They were helped forward by a
charitable lady. In this graceful
way she signalized the marriage of
her son. So we, too, are growing
old with something Of the in6rmi-
ties Of civic age. We must be re-
lieved of surplus population, even
as Ireland must be, or Germany.
Still the great West, with expanded
arms, cries come!" Still, with a
smile of plenty, she invites an exo-
dus which has no limit save the
cost of transportation. Thus thou
sands of young lives begin brayely
and hopefully! Thus they may be
saved from the quicksauds Of crimel
Thus they may look forward to
many days of usefulness and hap
piness!
What will come of this remarka-
ble mixture of races? What will
be the fortunes, what the annals of
the enormous population now
promised? ? 1t is too soon to specu-
lote upon these questions. But it
is not too soon to be thankful for a
happiness already great, and des-
tined to be greater. The world has
had few such chances as ours. We
all know what history is now.
Surely our own is destined to be a
different and less dismal record.
