astronomers assure us that precisely similar
effects, only on an inconceivably grander scale,
would be produced if our earth-one Of the

there would be general clash and crash of
satellites, planets and systems. What we term
financial crises are due to similar causes. One

clogged, perhaps shattered. The terrible Wall

The Late Gideon Welles.

MIR. Welles was a native of Connect
cut, and remained resident of the State
from his birth DULY 1, 1902 to his
death. He edited a Democratic paper
in Hartford from 1926 to 1887 was
Postmaster Of that city from 1886 to
1S41 held a seat in the State Legisla-
ture for eight years was head of bu-
reau In the Navy Department during a
part OF Folks administration was one
of the fathers of the Republican party :;
helped nominate Lincoln for President
IN 1860, and was Secretary of the Navy
during the entire administrations of
Lincoln and johnson. Entering the
department at a most critical period, he
succeeded IN creating a great navy, which
performed some very brilliant service.
besides an immense amount of hard work
IN blockading the whole coast of the
Confederate States. The appearance of
the rebel iron-clad Virginia in Hampton
roads at the beginning of the rebellion,
where, by a most fortunate chance. the
original Monitor met her, effected a
complete revolution III naval warfare.
While Mr.. Welles was never credited
with the clustering energy of Stanton,
1t Is certain that great iron-clad fleets
were constructed with amazing rapidity
under his administration, and that, while
disasters followed the army in rapid sue
cesslon, most of which were chargeable
to perversity and lack of provision in
the department at Washington, the navy
was almost invariably found in the right
place at the right time, and suffered
comparatively few losses. Without
much of the pretentious self assertion
which characterized his associates in the
Cabinet, Mr.. Welles performed his duty
to the country faithfully, and admins
tered his department with as much en-
ergy and at least as great success as was
found in any other branch of the public
service throughout the war. If not
what the world calls great man, he was
at least able, faithful and untiring in
the discharge of most important trust

Texas GuanO from Rats.

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
reported favorably upon samples OF
guano from caves in Texas, inhabited by
bats. He reports the material as worth
from S15 to $50 per ton, and comparing
favorably with fish guano for fertilizing
purposes. There are several caves con.
tanning such deposits in Texas, and the
estimated amount of guano is very great
perhaps 5000 to 20, 900 tons for a

Opium.Eating in Maine.

An extraordinary statement is made by
the Brunswick Telegraph, to the effect
that the use of opium has enormously
increased in Maine since the enforcement
OF laws restricting the sale of liquors.
A manufacturing chemist, whose bust
ness is said to be among the largest of
the kind in the country, is reported as
having stated that more morphine is sold
IN Maine, In proportion to population,
than In any other State in the Union.

A Monkey story.

One Of the best monkey stories we have seen
is contained in London Stature. A brave, &C
tive, intelligent terrier, belonging to a lady,
one day discovered a monkey belonging to an
itinerant organ grinder, seated upon IA bank
within the grounds, and at once made dash
for him. The monkey, who was atired in
jacket and hat, awaited the onset with such
undistHrbed tranquility that the dog halted
within few feet of him to reconnoter. Both
animals took long, steady stare at each other
but the dog evidently was recovering from his
surprise, and about to make spring for the
intruder. At this critical juncture the mon.
key, who had remained perfectly quiet hther-
to, raised his paw and gracefully saluted by
lifting his hat. The effect was magical; the
dogs head and tail dropped, and he sneaked
off and entered the house, refusing to leave il
until he was satisfied that his polite but mys-
FERROUS guest had departed. His whole de.
meanor showed plainly that he felt the mon
key was something "uncanny' and not to be
meddled with.

CAPITAL Punishment Among SparrOws.

In the cornice over the Utica court house is
a large colony of sparrows. Last week one OF
the number committed some oiiense and was
brought up before one of the older birds and
a large jury. The offender must have been
guilty beyond doubt, as the trial was a brief
one. Within an hour the wicked bird was
seized by four others, and in spite Of lis strug
giles a cord attached to a bracket was twisted
around its neck; when all was secure the bird
dropped and it quickly stransled. The vic
Tins body still hangs from one of the pillars
of the temple of justice, warning to all 9th
