tends beyond the earth from the sun.
An interesting point regarding the
Hodiacal light is its connection with the
theory of intra-mercurial planes. Le-
yerrier calculated that the perihelion OF
Mercury has a motion in the orbit Of 40
seconds more than could be accounted
for by the attraction Of the known plan
cts between Mercury and the sun. Ac-
cordingly sharp watch has been made for
the transits of such planets across the
SUMS disk, and during total eclipscs for
their appearance in the sky near the
sun.
No such transits have yet been observ-
ed that we're genuine. AS iswcll known
Watson and Swift, at the time Of the to-.
tai eclipse in 1873, made observations of
two faint objects in positions where
there are no fixed stars. But it would
take many thousands Of such planets rs
those seen by these observers to account
for the eXces iye motion Of Mercury's
perihelion, and it is uncomfortable that
some Of the multitude should not have
been seen by other Observers. But there
may be a oloud-lile mass Of parti-
cles revolving about the sun, which
could account for this motion Of Mercu-
ry's perihelon. The zodlacal light may
be this mass.

Hoods New Book.

The Nashville American so well says
this of the late new work Of the late
Gen. Hood, that wo can do no better
than copy it. (ED. NEws.)
We have received from Gen. G. Il.
Beauregard an announcement of the in
surance of work by Gen. j. b. Hood,
entitled "Advance and Retreat, Person
al Experience of the Author in the
United States and Confederate States
Armies" 1t is published under the SUI
pcryision of Gen. Bc0uregard for the
benefit of the Hood orphan fund. The
clear, pure style of Gen. Hood, his thor
ough knowledge of the subject, and his
vivid manner Of presenting what he
knows, are an assurance that tins VIII De
one Of the most interesting and valuable
of contributions to the history OF the late
war. Gen. Hood displayed in his con-
troversy with Gen. Joseph Il. Johnston
his ability as a writer and his thorough
comprehension of the subject he has
taken in hand The book has $50 pages,
with fine photograph likeness and a
fine steel engraving made for TINS WORK
and four large maps OF battle ieius' II
Is sold in handsome gray English cloth
at $500, in fine sheep at $3.50, in half
bound morocco at $500, and in the best
Pevant Turkey at $500, full gilt-sides
and edges. Agents are wanted every
where, and preference given to honor
ably discharged veterans from the army.
1t is not necessary for us 10 recall the
sad death of Gen. Hood and his wife
from yellow fever, leaving ten helpless
little children, all of tender ycars-four
pairs, we believe, Of twins among the
ten. Few cases appeal more powerfully
to the sympathies of soldier and citizen,
and especially to the veterans OF Hoods
old command in the West and in Virgin

to commend, from what we have already

Aid Yourself, and God will Aid

"Aid yourself, and God will aid you,"
Is saying that hold
Should be written not in letters
Wrought of silver or of gold.
But upon our hearts be craven,
A command from God in heaven.
'Tis the law Of Him who made you-
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
Aid yourself-who will not labor
All his wants of life to gain,
But relies upon his neighbor,
Finds that he relies in vain.
Till you've done your utmost, never
Ask helping hand, nor ever
Let the toilful man upbraid you-
Aid yourself and God win aid you.
Aid yourself-you know the fable

How the carter was not able
BY his prayers to move the load
Till, urged by some more wise bcholder,
He moved the wheel by lusty shoulder

Gen. Daniel Rugglcs Of Va, appear
ed bcfare the Senate committee on Az
gricullure, Thursday, to explain his
method of preciptating rainlalls by sci
entiilc means, Ills method, for which
he has recently been granted patent,
Is to send up to the cloud realm car
tridges of dynamite or smaller cXp!o-
sivc materials IN skclelon balloons, and
to explode them by time fuses or by
magnetic electricity through light me-
tallic wires connecting the balloons
with the earth. He claims that the dit
fused misis passing over arid regions or
localities suffering from usual drought
may readily be consolidated into rain
falls by conclusions and vibrations thus
artihcially produced, and suggests that
Congress may provide a small uppropri-
alton for expenditure by the Commits
sioner Of Agriculture TO test the prac.l-
cabllity Of the plan, The committee re-
qucsted him to prepare IN amplincd
memorial on the subject with n view to
taking Il more fully into consideration.

She Cured Him.
Milwaukee Sun.

There is man in the Seventh ward
that hasn't spoken to his wife for
week, lie is 50 mad that he will not
go home to his meals, and the other day
his wife went to his Office to get SO to
pay for some shoes, and he told the clerk
to pay her Off and let her 60. He crates
his teeth when he goes home ut nights,
and comes out Of his house every morn
ing swearing. She came II joke on him
that was all, He has for years been
telling her ,hat he was sure he had got
heart disease, and that he should 60 off
suddenly some time in the night. She
had got sick Of such tall; after hearing It
thirteen years, when she knew he was
healthy as 4 ycarling. why, he didn't
even know where his heart was, and
couldn't point out the location Of any
particular portion Of his internal i'm
proycments. But he kept talking about
death every little while, and she said she
would break up the little game as soon
as she could think Of any way to do so.
A spell ago shc bought one Of those In
dia-rubber walcr-bags, for keeping hot
water at the feet, instead of using bot
Ties. II would hold about three quarts,
and her husband didn't know anything
about it. Ono night after she had the

until they were about us warm rs q

ing away by note, she thought what
good joke II would be to put it on his
stomach and wake him up. She burst
right out laughing at midnight thinking
of it. So she took up the rubber bag Of
hot water and placed 1t on his stomach.
The bag was about as big as n cows ly-
or, and about as warm rs a piece of shin

How q Young Lady Won 90, 600.

But here comes one Of my favories,
writes the Boston correspondent of the
San FarnciscO Bulletin. Isn't she fine
looking? No? Well, listen while l
tell you her story, and learn why / like
her looks. Some years ago, man who
had more money than good reputation,
advertised that he would give $1,000 to
any respectable white woman who
would walk unveiled from the Adams
house entrance down Washington street
with him, at an hour when all the fash
iOna5les were pronenading. For weeks
that offer remained untaken, for his
reputation was such that no respectable
woman would be seen with him, and
the advertisement had said ''that none
others need apply" Finally, this wo-
manwho has just passed US agreed to his
terms and TO join him at the appointed
place and time. When the hour came,
Mr.. --w was on hand. Soon a carriage
drove up with the lady. 1t had been
noised abroad that the offer had been
taken up, and quite crowd had gath
cred to see him pay his 5000. He
helped her alight, offered her his arm,
walked few steps with her, when she
removed her veil at his request and
revealed to his gaze face rs black as
night. "YOu have deceived me-" he
said; "this is not fair" 'I am not
negro" she replied and to prove 1t she
pulled of her gloves and showed pair
of hands as white as yours are this
minute. The man turned toward the
carriage, paid her the $1,000 and she
drove off, leaving him to the laughter
and hoOts of the amused crowd Of by
ISLANDERS. 1t turned out afterward that
the girl was very poor, and that she had
magnificent voice that she could not
cultivate for want OF money. and this Is
the way she overcame that obstacle.
She went to Europe and studied five
years and has returned one of our most
brilliant singers. You can tell from
her proud bearing and refined appear
ance that she is just the sort of woman
to do such thing with dignity, and
come out none the worse for It either.

What Is Gossip?

We are often asked, "What ia gos-
sipf" We answer, in a general way,
that 1t Is talking Of persons rather than
things. Nothing shows the paucity of
Ideas more than this talking about the
affairs Of your neighbors. tits not only
malicious people who originate scandal !;
1t is narrow-minded people, Ignorant
people, stupid people. Persons OF cul-
ture and Intelligence are not so hard
run for topics Of conversation. They
can usually find something to say about
art, literature, fashion or society. The
moment people begin to talk of their
netghbOrs-of persons rather than
thlngs-they are apt to degenerate into
scandal; for where one speaks of the
virtues Of an acquaintance, a dozen ex-
patiate on his or her shortcomings.
And this brings us to speak Of real
culture, or what we consider to be such
at least. A cultivated person, In the
highest sense of the term, is not merely
one who can talk of books, pictures and
other elevated subjects Of human inter-
est. To be thoroughly cultivated, the
heart, rs well az the intellect, should be
refined and enlarged. Sometimes we
see women who, without education, yet
having been born amiable, are never
guilty of gossip. Again we see women
not naturally amiable whom education
has taught to talk OF things, not of per-
sons. The perfect woman. in this re-
spect, is one who Is both amiable and
educated.
But education does not always elevate
people above the regions of gossip. A
really bad heart is always malicious.
The best advice we can give Is the
homely old adage, "Mind your own
business" Very few of us never know
the whole truth about anything con-
corning neighbor, and to speak of his
or her conduct, Is usually to run the
risk OF being unjust. Much less should
we talk Of the motives of others. Very
few of us know our owr motives, aud
to venture on discussing a neighbor's 5
motives Is always impertinence, and
often real orirne.-Etcha,ge.

salutary Eject of Lightning.

The Bangor Commercial says: A
gentleman who visited one Of the ponds
in this vicinity hast Sunday returned
during the thunderstorm. He relates
his experience as follows: "Before l
got home made up my mind that I
should put on immortality, for, be-
tween q horse that took to stone walls
every time 1t thundered and lightning
which seemed to strike all around me,
thought there was little left for me
In this world. Consequently left off
all my bad habits, including rum and
tobacco, but have taken up part Of
them since, though | don't think l
chew quite as much as did"
He don't live In Galveston now, bat
he used TO. He went. into the Interior
and applied to the School Board to
teach school. They examined him and
were surprised to learn that Cuba
was South American republican
republic. He also startled them some-
what In geography and history, and
as for arithmetic, ne bankrupted the
whole numeral system. His propo-
sition to teach was laid on the table.
He subsequently, however, made a
motion for new trial, whicf was
granted. After the second examina-
ton friend met him and said: 81

the very same questions they did be-
fore"
