More tons of iron and steel were
rolled in this country last year than in
that during which the panic fell upon
the country. Everybody isn't out OF
work after all. Moreover, millions of
acres more of wheat and corn are being
cultivated this year than in 1878, SO
everybody can't be starving.

Some two or three weeks ago, a
Lieut.. Zabowitz rode from Pesth to
Paris all the way on one horse, or mare
rather. ID two weeks, which was re-
garded IS considerable feat. And
now he.is going over to England for
the purpose of drowning both him
self and the mare in the British chan
mel. He thinks that by means of an
apparatus he has invented, which is to
be fastened to the mares chest, she
will be able to swim with him from
Dover to Calais. As the probability is
that the body of neither of them will
ever be recovered, it is really pity for

Some Facts to Remember about the
Sun.

Some Facts to Remember about the
The sun is 800, 900 times as large as
the earth.
The sun is 400 times as far off as the
moon.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds here,
would weigh 2,700 pounds if on the
surface of the sun.
The heat given off by the sun would
melt 2S7 300, 900 cubic miles Of ice
every second.
The diameter of the earth bears the
same relation to its distance from the
sun as the breadth of hair to 125
feet.
A railroad train travelling without
stops at ths rate of forty miles an hour
would get to the sun in 263 years.
The sun is believed to become some
$50 feet smaller every year. This CON
traction 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 its aliment to offset the tremen-
dous loss which combustion certainly
involves.
1t would require the combustion of
thirty feet of coal over the entire sur
e-af the'sun every second to generate
the same heat.
The stars are supposed to average
larger than our sun, and to have plane
tary systems like this.
The nearest star is 250, 900 times as
| far off as our sun,
1t takes light eight minutes to come
from the sun, but it must have required
50, 900 years for it to come from the
farthest visible stars.
When the eleven, year storms on the
sun occur Thg mag Detic needle on the
earth is . riable and sometimes con-
siderably Hieficted.
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 90 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.

Last year, when the French free masons

Orient of France") proclaimed to the world
that its members, collectively and seperate-

land solemnly and unanimously read and
said "Grand Orient" out of the fraternity,
and agreed not to recognize or hold the
slightest communion with the unbelievers.
Several months later, the grand lodge Of
England, of which the Prince of Wales is
grand master, his three brothers also being
members, followed this example, and COM
pletely severed all connection with the free
masons Of france. A few weeks ago the
grand lodge of Scotland also withdrew lis
recognition Of the atheistical masons of
France. AS yet no such reputation has
been made, or even proposed, on the part of
the masonic fraternity of the United States.
Considering that masonry may be regarded
as a religious, though not a sectarian, insti-
tuition, in action in this country, under the
above stated circumstances, is to be wonder
ed at. Hitherto, American masons have
been courteously acknowledged and received
as brothers and visitors in the British
lodges; but the recent action OF the grand
lodges Of England, ireland and Scotland
taboos, not alone the atheistical masons of
France, but the brethren Of all other coun-
tries which have refused or neglected to re-
pudiate them.
The writer Of the above is probably not
aware that there is no grand or national
masonic body in the United States, and that
organization in each state is Independent
and is governed by a state grand lodge. So
far as our information extends, the state
grand lodges of the United States, which
have had meetings since the action above
referred to by the Grand Orient of France,
have repudiated and withdrawn their recog-
milton Of that body. This action was taken
by the grand lodge of this territory at its
recent session at Sioux Falls.

Ben Butler Gives His Reasons for Bclicv.
ing it is Not Inviolablc.
Washington, June lS.-Mr. Butler, as an
individual member of the judiciary commit
tee, to-day submitted to the house his rea
sons for dissenting from the resolution and
report of the majority in regard to the invi-
liability of the presidents title. He thinks
it remarkable that in the face of the six Ii
section es' ablishing the electoral commission
the committee should have come to the con-
%cluslon that the proceedings of the COMMITS
sion or of congress subsequent thereto, con-
%stitute an immovable finally, when it itself
declares to the contrary and the contrary
was emphatically assured by the house Of
representatives. Instead of constituting a
finally, those proceedings were on their face,
and in express terms, merely a temporary
expediency or device to avoid the contin-
gency of a lapsed election for which the
constitution had made no provision.
Congress, he says, ny the express words
of law, declared that its object and effect
were provisional only. The president en-
tered upon his Office with the express notice
that his tenure was questionable in the cha
racter Of doubtful validity, and was not
made absolute by the ~interposition of an
extra-constitutional commission, but to be
examined and adjudicated upon by the coun-
try. He agrees with the committee that
congress has no power under the constitu-
ton to confer upon the supreme court Of the
United States the original jurisdiction sought
for it in the Blair-Kimmell bill, but he says
the question at issue is, whether the actual
president Of the United States has a Just and
legal title 10 the Office he holds. A contest
alton upon that.question, if it were 10 be had
before a court, would make a case which
may we'll enough be defined to be a contro
versy between c%ontending parties under the
forms of law before a court.
