AN EVENING WITH sATvs,.

The planet Saturn, which Was 1t IL
nearest point to the earth ON the 18th
inst, is now in q very favorable post-
ton for observation. Shining With .
dull leaden color, in striking contrast
with the brilliant Jupiter and the scan-
tfllating fixed stars, 1t il almost the
last object i'm the sky that one would
expect 10 find interesting. But In the
telescope its whole aspect In changed,
and il presents q scene Of marvellous
beauty. ~ wouldn't have believed
that there was such an object In the
sky" is q remark that the owner Of Q
telescope hears again and again whsa
he shows his friends Satufn's fin&s.
There is nothing resembling them In
the whole visible universe. In truth.
Saturn's rings have been Q great ;puxc
zle to the astronomer. MathemAtt.
clans have figured themselves into the
belief that it is q physical impossihlh-
ty for those rings to exist. Yet the
rings are there. Theory after theory
has been invented to account for them,
vet the laws Of their being cannot be
said to be understood. When In 1850
Prof Bond discovered the Grape or
gauze ring inside the others-which y
semi-transparent, SO that the b0dy Of
the planet may be seen through IT.
there was q great Overturning Of old
theories. The notion that the fings
were solid was abandoned. Some aid
they were liquid. Finally Il was d.

search OF the young man, John Schwebele,
who is accused OF having stolen SIS from
William HsnseI, OF this city, last week.
His Grand was successful, and last night
lie arrived hare with schwebele, who was
locked up. The following account Of the
young Germans capture Is taken from
yesterdays Pittsburgh Leadsr:
yesterday afternoon Chief OF Police
Sweeney, OF Wheeling, arrived In the city
In search OF John Schwebele, who stole
s25 from William Hansell, Of Wheeling.
Schwebele had been living with Hansel,
whom he robbed on Friday last, and then
left. Detectives Jerry Smith and Lang
hurst; oil Allegheny, took the case In hand,
and after nightiall had tracked the robber
10 clearinghouse on Chestnut street,
near tho bridge. Schwebele could not be
found, but there was reason to believe that
that he was concealing himself on the roof
OF the house. The detectives went into the
back yard, Langhurst having lantern.
Hold the light up toward the roof" said
said Smith, $50 can see to get the drop
on him." This had the effect eli bringing
out a ahaky voice from the darkness on
the roof, saying: "Don't shoot, for Gods
don't shoot; I'll come down." The man
did come down, and was shortly alter
ward lodged in the Central station. He
will be taken to Wheeling to-day"

"a Gentleman from Nevada" will be given
at the Opera House tomorrow and Satur.
day evenings by the Polk Company.
Speaking OF 1t the Daily Item says: "Chas.
s. Rogers and Matte Vickers scored o de-
cided triumph. In their limitations Of well
known actors and actresses they stand un-
eoualled. Miss Vickars, who 10 one OF the
handsomest aud best dressed women on
the stage, sings dances. and acts with
charming abandon, while Mr.. Rogers, by
the groteequeness Of his makeup and his
facial expressions, keeps the audience In a
CONSTANT roar OF laughter. They are tai
ented artists, and undoubtedly the biggest
drawing cards in the profession"
The New Erangeline.-The New Evange.
line was given at the Opera House last
night to large crowd. The performance
was o musical extravaganza that is better
seen than described. Among those per.
sons OF the very large comEsly who de.
serve especial mention are Miss Vernona
Jarbeau, who sang well; Miss Louise
searle, who sang and acted well; Mr.. Geo.
K. Fortescue, whose female makeup was
immense; Messrs. Chapman, Charles
Groves, Max Figman, and Harry Hunter
were all very good in their line. The
costumes were good and the stage setting
and scenery very good.

Some ideas Worthy OF Consideration In
Regard TO System OF Drainage for
wheeling.
It is conceded on all sides, that to econ.
omically improve the s.reets, alleys and
public grounds OF any city, all work done
should be permanently constructed, and
be a part Of q general and recognized plan.
That general system should only be
adopted after careful calculation and ma.
ture reflection, and no man should person.
ally risk hisinterest or his reputation on
90 slight an examination as such subjects
usually receive from an unpaid commit.
tee.
Again, it Is difficult for men who have
been selected from various occupations In
life, TO thoroughly comprehend distances,
elevations and depressionst through state
ment on paper, or from casual examina.
ton OF the ground. You will therefore al.
low the following suggestions:
First-Let rough but proportional dia.
grams oil the city's streets and alleys be
made on Bristol board or some other hard
paper, in portable sections Let such dia'
grams show the elevation or depression In
feet and tenths, above or below the grade
bases AZ every point where tnere Isl cnauSe
in the grade, so that even the most mex.
perienced person can, by little blocks Of
proportioned height, understand the flow
and the gathering OF the waters, and by
knowing the amount Of surface 80 drained
calculate the greatest amount OF sewage
needed to safely conduct the water to thu
desired outlet.
second-Either let the city purchase thu
western sides OF Chapline and Wheeling
hills, and stop much Of their present eros
