o'oe UPON the DaIl. lhere are
delicate markings on the planet that
form test both of the powers of the
telescope and of the eye. Saturn has
eight moons, and very beautiful they
look, thronging like golden bees about
the rings. Only five can be seen with a
good three and half or four inch glass.
but Titan, their chief, which is nearly as
large as the planet Mars, can be seen
with much smaller glass. For the next
four or five years the rings will SLOWLY
open wider, and their beauty will in
crease month by month.
Venus, which shines as the most bril-
liant star in the heavens, is splendid
telescope object. The orbit of Venus.
unlike that OF Jupiter and Saturn, is
within that of the earth, and consequent
~ she Is never seen except in the West
after sunset, or in the East before sun
RISE When nearly between the sun and
the earth Venus is often so bright as to
be visible at MONDAY. Then power of
twenty five diameters shows the planet
IN the form of beautiful crescent of
dazzling wilderness. With higher pow
ers she may be made to look MANY times
larger, and more brilliant than the cres-
cent moon. AS she circles through her
orblt Venus presents in succession all
The phases of the moon. She is, how
ever, SO dazzling that the best telescopes
ire baffied in the attempt to study her
features. Schroter, a famous German |
observer, thought he had discovered
Mountains in Venus nearly thirty miles
ngh. Astronomers are generally agreed
nat venus closely resembles the earth |

mango OF seasons, with. considerably

Three young Zulu women are now at the
London Aquarium One of the three dusky
ladies' claims Cetewayo for her father, and
wears her hair somewhat longer than that of
her companions, in evidence of her royal de-
scent. The names which they bear are mu-
steal, and express qualities or relate to some
incident, after the fashion of the old Hebrew
names-Unolala, Unomadlz,, and Unozon-
daba One refers to the owners mother hav-
ing passed through some trial or suffering, aud
another means that its bearer is as sweet as
honey. The ladies' share with their moro civ
ilized sisters taste fer personal adornment.
Their manners are gentle and prspossessing,
and their demeanor is in marked contrast with
that of the e1uberantly gay and noisy Aascu-
line members of the troupe. 1t is noteworthy
that the men do not allow their female COM
panions to eat with them, the subsection of
women being carried out among the Zulus.
The husband bays his wife, paying her father

NswsPAP8R VOLUMES The Bodie Free
Press, having entered upon its second volume,
procaims the fact in rather more than a
colomn of self asdation. The Free Press is a
bright, newsy sheet, and should let other peo-
pie praise it. The custom of papers entering
upon each now volume with Glare of trum
pets twice year and then copying all the
good things their exchanges say about them
is practice which ought to be abolished by
the press generally. The APPEAL has just
entered its sixteenth volume, but does not
venture for moment to remark that it's forth
coming nunbers will be any better than those
long passed, probably not As good. 1t does
not consider entering upon a new volume
very remarkable feat of journalism and will
not feel agrisved if it's contemporaries do not
choose to say just at this time that it is
cable" fearless" vigorous" and spicy"
from the fact that these terms of journalistic
endssrnent have bsen worn thrsadbare on
nearly every newspaper Of the State and
everybody is getting tired of them.
