sky. just after sunset, and long before any

may ho seen, as white and round rs drop of
silver, shining through the yellow haze in
the West. At the same time jupiter.
rising in tho East, looks yet more lustrous
against the dark background formed by tho
oarth's advancing shadow. Thus the two
may be watched for an hour, tho one rising
while tho othcr sinks, as if their steps were
timed precisely together. Every eye will
readily allow the precedence in briliancy to
Jupiter, who however, only in his perihelion

The war between the Baltimore and Ohio and
pennsylvania railroad companies is waxing
warm. The fight has broken out this time over
the possession OF the direct through line be-
tween New York ald Washington. The Balrl-
more and Ohio company secured triumph
lately In the courts in getting the right OF way
over the Philadelphia portion OF the track, and
followed 1t up by opening new line Of their
own between Washington and New York By
way OF the Bound Brook route through New
Jersey. The Pennsylvania company las now
retaliated by securing the cooperation OF the
Philadelphia. Wilmington and Baltimore ROAD
in refusing the freight Of the Baltimore and
ohio road. Heretofore the p, ". and B. COM
pany have held neutral position and have
transacted the business OF the PENNSYLVANIA
and Baltimore and Ohio lines on equal terms.
The inference Is that either the PENNSYLVANIA
company have bought controlling interest in
the P, W. and b. road or threatened to With
draw their business from that company IL they
cid not give up their arrangement with the
Baltimore and Ohio company. 1t would ap-
pear that Mr.. Garrett will not succeed In get
