PREDICTING DEMONSTRATION
of speculative turn of mind have sug-
gested that there may be connection
between the variations of the spots on
the face of the sun and excessive rains
and droughts. Now comes Mr.. B. G..
Jenkins, Fellow of the British Royal
Astronomical Society, who says that
cholera, the black death, and other
plaques, are the effect of planetary in
fuences, and particularly of those of
the four outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune.
He goes back for hundreds of years;
asserts that all the plaques which have
swept over Europe during that period
can be accounted for by the movements
and position of one or more of these
planets, and concludes with this omi-
nous prediction ~ would say that,
within the next seven years, there will
happen that which has not happened
for hundreds of years all the planets
at or near their nearest point to the sun
about the same time.
at is true of the earth that its mag
netic intensity is greatest about the
time when it is near the sun the same
is probably true of all the planets /;
therefore we may expect extraordinary
magnetic phenomena during the next
seven years, and great plaques which
will manifest themselves in all their
intensity when Jupiter is about three
years from his perihelion-that is, in
1888. Youths Companion.

WOMEN POSTMASTERs.

Official information from the Post Office
Department at Washington states that there
are four thousand lady postmasters in the
United States. al that the number is rapidly
increasing. We have noted the appointment
of several women to this position in our own
State and Washington Territory during the
past year. These positions better fit the phys
ical capacity Of women than OF men, while
their mental capacity is equally fitted for the
discharge OF the duties pertaining thereto. 1t
is certain that women keep the more orderly
and quiet Offices the denizens OF village
whose post Office is presided over by self-
possessedli md dignifed woman go there to get
their daily installment from Uncle Sans mail
bags. take il and go their way, while the village
post Office presided over by a man is usually
the rendezvous for idlers, who congregate
about the stove in winter or lounge under the
awning in summer, to smoke, whittle, chew,
gossip and make unmannerly remarks concern
ing the women who call for mail. All are call
ed postmssters in the records OF the Depart
ment; hence, 1t is not possible to state the
exact number Of women 80 employed in Gov
ernment service, but the official information
referred to above states that there are not less
than the number given.-Portland (Oreo New

With eyes of deepest blue?

Last Sunday evening the Hartford folks en-
joyed rich literary treat, and all for the small
sum CT ten cents. Mrs. J. w. Travis, knowing
that Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was to lect-
ure at Lawrence on Saturday evening, thought
perhaps she might come in by way of Hartford
instead Of Paw Paw and accordingly went down
to meet the incoming southern train, and, as
she hoped. met Mrs. Stanton. Mrs. Travis in
vited her home with her TO rest until the stage
went out for Lawrence, and, finding that che
had no engagement for the next evening" inn
mediately struck a bargain with her to speak to
the Hartford people at that time. Although it
was then getting to be nearly night, she went
down town aud secured the use o. the NJ. +.
church, got posters up and hana-bills struck
off, etc, etc., and when Sunday night came a
very nice and apprecative audience greeted the
renowned speaker, and for an hour and half
they listened 30 bIeathlessly that, as the old
saving is, "you could have heard pin drop
anywhere in the house, Mrs. Stanton's plea
for liberty and equality for every one without
regard to sex, was full of common sense as
we'll as sound reasoning and eloquence, aud
many went away converted. Those who were
SO far advanced as to have already believed
were not only strengthened but delighted with
the lecture She remained with Mrs. Travis
until the night train going north went out, and
then left for Grand Rapids.

a Girl Strange Story.

The New York Times says John
Long. West Virginia farmer, came to
that civ Thursday and caused the ar
rest of his stepsister, Emma, on the
charge that she was insane and unable
to take care of herself The lady, who
is pleasant-featured and very bright, "A
wears old, was taken before Justice Kill
breth. Long said that his stepsisier
had become mentally affected from spi.
ral disease, and was sent to the Virginia
State Asylum for the Insane. He
learned that she vas in New York and
came on to take her home, where she
could be cared for. The girl denied
that she was insane. and astonished the
Justice by her brilliant conversation.
She said that she was the daughter OF
former wealthy slave trader. Her
mother married twice, and her step
father maltreated her TO such an extent
that to escape from her sutierings she
pretended to become insane, and was
committed to an asylum for year. Al
the expiration Of that time she went TO
Philadelphia as companion to lady,
and after that came to New York. She
declared that she was perfectly clear
mentally, and offered to submit TO an
examination as to her sanity at once It
required, but the magistrate assured her
it was unnecessary. Justice kilbreth
told Long that he did not consider HIM
self Justified in holding her, and that as
she was of age he could do nothing fur
ther than discharge her. Her brother
gave her some money and bid her good
bye, and she, thanking the Justice left
