WHERE DOES THE DAY BEGIN p
As matter of fact, the day begins all
round the world-not at the same in
slant of time, but just as the sun visits
successive portions of the earth in his
journey from east to west. But the
traveller who crosses the Pacific ocean
can give another answer to the above
question; that on the 1S0th degree of
longitude-one-ha of the circumfer-
ence of the globe, starting from Green
witch east or west-there is an arbi-
trary change or dropping of a day, and
that at this point, if anywhere, the day
may be said to begin. 1t was with
strange feelings that the writer, cross
ing the Pacific, having gone to bed on
Saturday night, leaving everything
pertaining to the almanac in satisfac-
tory condition, awoke on Monday
morning. Sunday had completely
dropped from our calendar, for that
week at least Every one knows that
in travelling round the world from east
to west a day is lost, and in order to
adjust his reckoning to that of the place
he has left, and must drop day as
though he had not lived it, when in re-
ality the time has passed by lengthen-
ing every day during the journey. For
a long time it was the custom for sail
ors to effect this change pretty much
where they pleased; but it has now
become a settled rule among American
and English navigators that at the
1SOth degree a day must be passed
over if going west, and one added il
going east, in which latter case the
traveller enjoys two Sundays or two
Thursdays, as the case may be. 1t is
most likely that this particular degree
was decided on from the fact that, eX-
cept few scattered islands of Poly
nesia, there are large communities,
with their vast commercial and social
transactions, to be effected by the
change WatertolUn Reformer.

A WASP'S STRATEGY.-Mr. Seth
Green says that one morning, when he
was watching a SPIDERS nest, mud
wasp alighted within an inch or two
of the nest, on the side opposite the
opening Creeping noislessly around
toward the entrance to the nest, the
wasp stopped little short of it, and
for moment remained perfectly quiet.
Then reaching out one of his antenn@,
he wriggled it before the opening and
withdrew it. This had the desired
effect, for the boss Of the nest, as large
spider as one ordinarily sees, came out
to see what was wrong and to set 1t to
rights. No sooner had the spider en-
erged to that point at which he was al
the worst disadvantage, than the wasp
with a quick movement, thrust his
sting into the body of his foe, killing
him easily aud almost instantly. The
experiment was repeated on the part Of
the wasp, and when there was no re
sponse from the inside he became sat
! isfied, probably, that he held the fort
At all events, he proceeded to entel
the nest and slaughter the young spi
ders, which were afterward lugged OF
one at time

CATCHING Il CANNON BALL
London Times.

London Times.
Recently, at Leeds, Jno. Holtum, a
gymnast, was charged before Mr..
Bruce, the stipendiary magistrate, with
unlawfully wounding Elijah Fenton, a
market porter, in the Princess Concert
Hall, in that town. Holtum had, dur
ing the week, been giving performan-
ces showing extraordinary strength in
the handling of heavy clubs, cannon
balls, ETC., and on Friday night he of
fered prize of $50 to any person who
could catch ball fired from cannon
as he (Holtum) had done on several
consecutive nights. The challenge had
been accepted by three men, and can
non having been placed in position on
the stage, suitable cartridge and a
ball weighing seven pounds were
rammed home When Holtum called
upon those who had accepted his chal-
lenge, Elijah Fenton presented himself,
stripped off his coat and waistcoat, and,
standing about six yards away from
the cannon's mouth, declared that he
was ready, and placed his hands in a
position to secure the projectile. An at
tendant fired the cannon, when, to the
horror of all present, the ball struck
Fenton in the forehead and knocked
him down He managed to crawl off
the stage, and at first it was thought
he was not much hurt. Shortly after
ward, however, the case assumed a
much more serious appearance, and
Fenton was removed to the Leeds Gen.
eral Infrmary, where it was found
that he received compound fracture
of the skull, and that his recovery was
almost hopeless. The stipendiary mag
istrate remanded Holtum until Tues
day. Mr.. Hobson, the proprietor of the
Princess Concert Hall, promised that
the performance In question should
not be repeated on his premises, but
stated.that Holtum had been perform
ing on the Continent in this way for five
or six years, and never had an acci-
dent of this kind before.

when, among the crowd that entered his
prinCely car on arriving at Washington,
he noticed the facs Of his former cham
berlain and boon companion, Gen. Orr
vile Babcock, Of safe burglary and st.
Louis notoriety. The revour between the
two illustrious men was really touching.
In case of the elevation Of Grant, Bah
cock will be Grand Chamberlain, and

will be made Marquis Of Moral Halo
Belknap and Robinson will resume their
respective portfolios of Secretaries Of
War and Naval Departments with the
titles of count because they are 30 good
at counting Montgomery Blair, Dan
Voorhees, and Charley Eldridge will
probably be selected as court defenders,
to get the friends Of Grant out Of trouble,

probability that such investigation will
again take place under Grants new re-

GARCELoN,s MAINE MISTAKE.

Governor Garcelon showed noble qualities, and
deserves the highest respect. 1t is not strange
that In the anomalous and trying position in
which he was placed he should have made mis-.
takes. He made two bad moves. He ought not
to have submitted questions TO the Judges Of the
Supreme Court even though four Of them had
stated IN private conversation either to himself
or his legal adviser that his course was strictly
constitutional and legal He should have known
that Blaine & Co. would not have asked him to
refer questions to these Judges had they not been
sure beforehand that the answer would suit their
unscrupulous partisan designs. As we stated at
the time, he had the best reasons for refusing to
interrogate the Judges in the fact that he had
sCrupulously followed the letter Of the ConstiLu.
ton and the decisions Of the court, and had Re-
publican precedents for his acts. Moreover, he
could not adopt any suggestions the Judges might
make, 60 the certificates OF election had already
been Issued and could not be recalled. he made
another mistake in issuing we'll meant order to
Chamberlain which furnished him with pretext
for playing the part Of military dictator and fore
IDLY putting the Republican reVolutiOnlsts into
power. Events have shown that in his scrupu.
lous anxiety to do right and preserve order Gov.
ernor GarcelOn played into the hands Of the re-
volutionist who we're doing their utmost to organ
lie disorder and wrong,-M y Express.

osNABuRaH.

Leading citizens Of Osnaburgh are seriously
talking OF having their village incorporated. The
bad condition OF sidewalks and crossings render
incorporation a necessity II seems to be the only

and females have also some rights In this direc'
tion. Some people may fear the little taxation
that may be- involved in all this but they should
remember that they will have the power In their
own hands for they will elect the village Trustees
who will have to serve without pay, and surely
will not wish to tax themselves uAressonably'
When village Council order sidewalks, each
property owner 10 10 make his own. There need
be no taxing for this,-unless a property owner is
stubborn and fOoliahly refuses to obey, and then
the cost is taxed against his property. There are

A WISCONSIN sTALWART WHO COULDN'T
MAKE 1T.

On the 10Th ult the United States SEN
ate rejected, in executive session, the
nomination of Howard M. Kutchin for
Internal Revenue Collector in the Third
Wisconsin District, by a party vote Of 25
to 81. Senator Carpenter labored hard
for his and Hayes man. Quite discus
sion took place, Senator Thurman leading
in opposition. 1t seems he was opposed
for his violent and coarse language
against Democrats. Mr.. KutChin is ed
itor Of the Fond du Lac Commonwealth, in
which paper, in leading editorial, on
the goth of October last, said;
"The grain stacks, houses and barns Of
all active Democrats should be burned
and their children burned and their
wives outraged, that they may under
stand that the Republican party is the
one which they should vote for or keep
their vile carcssses away from the polls"
Republican Senators surely had con-
siderable effrontery to champion and
vote for his confirmation.

Gov. PTTKIN, in his testimony before
the House Indian Committee last week,
said that the Colorado people believe the
Ute outbreak to have been premeditated
and malicious on the part of the Indians
who desired, if possible, to drive the
whites from Colorado" This seems to
be a modern instance under the ancient
fable of the wolf charging the sheep with
fouling the stream.
