OUR LIrTLEnEss IN THE UNIVERSE

Astronomers say that this world of ours,
which seems to US SO large, is in fact so
small in comparison with the sun and stars,
that it's presence or absence is, to the uni
verse, matter of unconceivably small I'M
portance and that, even in its own sys-
tenn, it would hardly be noticed by an eye
capable of taking in at one view the sun
and its attendant planets. Sir John
Herschel gives the following illustration of
the size and distance of these bodies
" Choose, he says, ANY well-leveled field.
On it place a globe two feet in
diameter; this will represent the sun
Mercury will be represented by grain of
mustard seed on the circumference of
circle l64 feet in diameter for its orbit
Venus, pea In circle of 2S4 feet in di-
ameter the earth, also pea on circle of
430 feet; Mars, rather large pins head
in a circle of 954 feet Jupiter, mod.
erate-sized orange in circle nearly half
mile across Saturn, a smaller orange on
a circle of four fifths of mile; Uranus,
full sized cherry upon the circumference
OF circle more than a mile and
half; and Neptune, good sized plum
on a circle, two and half miles in
diameter" II our earth were struck out
of existence it would hardly be missed
from such a system. But this is far from
the extreme measure of our littleness. The
evening sky is studded with stars. Be-
tween us and them is empty space. AS
we look across it, the distance does not
seem SO very great, and even astronomers
were long in learning how great |
it is, and how utterly isolated the
sun with its train of planets is
from even the nearest star. Keeping the
same scale as before, in which our iDcon-
ceivable distance from the sun, 925 millions
of miles, was reduced to dozen rods or
so, and then setting out to visit our
neighbors, if we are lucky enough to turn
our steps to the nearest, We find before us
a journey of nearly 5000 miles. Had We
directed our course to any of the other
stars, our road would have been many
thousand miles longer. There are stars
from which light requires 5000 years to
reach our globe.

Railroad Building in Dakota.

Dakota is great country of itself and will
have great need of many railroads. In good
time she will have the railroads, but as yet the
companies which are going to possess the land
are far from being agreed as to how they will

ated in the southeast part of the Territory, but
our concern is mostly with the companies
whose lines are from Minnesota. The Chicago.

THE STATE PRINTING,
New Bids Opened Yesterday and the
Contracts Awarded.


The State printing commission, consisting Of
Secretary of State Won Baumbach, Auditor
Whitcomb. and Treasurer Kittleson, met YES
terday at o'clock, in the Office of the secretary
of state, to open the bids for the State print
ing for the current year. 1t will be remem
bered that prospoals invited by advertisement
for this work, were received and opened in June
last. The bids, upon being opened, were found
to come from three firms in St. Paul and
to be within one per cent and under
of the maximum amount designated in the law
for the different classes of work, whereas bids
for previous years had ranged from six to fifty
per cent. off from such maximum figures.
This, together with the fact that several firms
heretofore bidding for the work were not rep
resented, led the commission to believe that
pool had been formed among the printers to
force the State to pay higher price for the
work than would be required could the
pool be broken, and each printing firm be in
duced to makea distinct bid based upon its
idea of the value of the work.
After numerous consultations, and after Sc
curing an opinion from the attorney general,
the commission decided to ignore the bids re-
ceived, and readvertise for proposals for the
work. This was done, aud in response nine
distinct bids we're received, to consider which
the commission met yesterday. Previous to
opening any of the bids, a letter was read from
Granville Fales, representing the Pioneer Press
company. protesting against the readvertise-
ment for proposals for the work as illegal and
void, and asserting that his bid complied with
the requirements of the law, and that he
should take legal steps to maintain his rights
in the premises, should the commission per
sist in ignoring them. Beyond the reading
the commission took no action upon the com
munication, but proceeded Ito open the bids,
which were as follows, the fguers being for

Third street near Robert, last evening. Short
ly after o'clock in the evening, while Mr..
Egan was sitting at his desk writing, his atten-
ton wa 3 attracted to a playful little animal
supposed was kitten. Knowing there was no
cat about the establishment he gave the crit
ter" second look, when he at once took in
the situation. Never was customer
more politely treated in that establishment
than his skunkship was for two mortal hours.
He had the run of the entire store, and propri-
etor and clerks all gave him their undivided
attention. He explored every part of the
store from the diamond case to the spittoon
and for two hours he was monarch of all he
surveyed" How to get rid of him was a mys-
terry. He was tempted in every way to induce
him to leave, but the more he was tempted the
more he was inclined to st, ay. At last chloro-
form was brought to bear but it proved una
vailing, and nnally lighted torch had some
effect, and he made rapid exit to the sidewalk,
where couple of shots from revolver put an
end to his existence. But you may shoot, you
may kill the skunk if you WILL yet the scent
of his presence will hang around him still, and
so it proved in this case. Fortunately he re-
served his supply of essence until he reached
the sidewalk, when out upon the night sir
