cows, nine in lumber. They were standing
around the pump trough. awaiting his action,
when all at once, with tails erect they made
stampede down the lane as fast as their legs
would carry them. The cause of this sudden
freak was mystery to the hired man, but it
was not long before he was let into what sp

Pennies.

The Philadelphia Record gives an inter-
esting account of the use of pennies, from
which the following is derived: "There
is no part of the United States hardly
where they are not used; but there are
some sections where they are strangers
and as rare as gold dollars are here. In
the South the penny is almost unknown,
the smallest coin being five-cent piece.
Recently, however, there has been some
demand for them from merchants in Geor-
gia and Alabama.
In the far West there is but little call
for the penny, but when one gets to st.
Louis or east of that point, then the pen
ny becomes q familiar friend. Wherever
there are six-cent fares on the street cars,
then there is demand from that city for
pennies. Now, Louisville seldom, if ever
calls upon us, while Cincinnati is con-
tinually crying for the one-cent piece.
New York consumes big lot, and SO do
the Eastern States. The two-cent was a
good help to us for the time, but none Of
them have been coined for ten years, ana
all that are sent in and redeemed are re-
coined into one-cent pieces.
1T is wonderful thing, but such is the
fact continued the official, ''that COM
petition in trades induces and increases
the demand for pennies. Whenever trade
is briskest then the penny is needed most
that is, retail trade. What the banks
take from US, although large, does not
huctuate like the calls from tradesmen.
The Eastern States are the penny centres,
and it is only as the population of the
west increases that it wants pennies. The
five-cent piece is the standard coin in the
west, but the penny is making inroads on
it, and great ones, too"

the second magnitude. It is different
with our daughters. They are
stars of the first magnitude; and it is
very discouraging that we must worry
along with an inferior sun when there are
better ones. Sirius is from 1000 to 5000
times brighter than our sun, and an effort
should be made to procure it, in order to
rival the efiete monarchies of the Old
World. The attention of Congress should
be called to this matter. Less money
should be appropriated for dredging rivers
and more expended in getting a better
article of son.
Some of the frey streamers that shoot
up from our sun reach 210,000 miles. The
man who measured them was born of
rich and correspondingly honest parents,
but he wouldn't lie about thing like
that.
The stars are not approaching us. They
are going away from us. And we don't
blame them, when we remember the
shameful condition of things in Mine not
long ago.-Puck.

and for the heartiest agreement upon whatevre fs

been turned back every doubtful state has been
won and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering
THE TR1BUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribunc's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen NEST of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the surest to win,
and surest to make good President. But in this
crisis 1t can conceive of nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported BY the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labo and
money than before to hold the distinction It has
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best
people. 1t secured, and means tn retain it by be
coming the medium of the best thought and the
voice of the best conscience of the time by keeping
abreast of the highest progress, favorng the freezes
discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to
the best intelligence and the purest morality and
usng to carter to the tastes of the vile the preu
dices of the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The distinctive features of The Tribune are known
to everybody. 1t gives all the news 1t has the
best correspondents, and retains them from year to
year, 1t is the only paper that maintains special
telegraphic wire of its own between it's office and
Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and
ligious intelligence is the fullest Its book reviews
are the best Its commercial and financial ne'ys is
the most exact Its type is the largest and iIs
rangement the most systematic.

Hours and Minutes.

Why is one hour divided into sixty
minutes? and each minute again into sixty
secondsP Why not divide our time as we
do our money, by tens, counting ten, or so
or 100 minntes to the hour? This question
was asked by an intelligent boy few
days since; and the answer given him
may both interest and instruct other
young people. The answer is this:
We have sixty divisions on the dials
of our clocks and watches, because the
old Greek astronomer, Hipparchus, who
lived in the second century before Christ,
accepted the Babylonian saystem of reck-
oning time, that system being sexigesi-
NAL. The Bablonians were acquainted
with the decimal system; but for common
and practical purposes they counted by
sosSi and sGri, the SoSsOs, representing six
ty, and the saroS, sixty times sixty, is
5000. From Hipparchus, that mode of
reckoning found its way into the works
of Ptolemy, about $50 A. D., and thence
was carried down the stream of science
and civilization, and found it's way to the
dial plates of our clocks and watches.-

Bishop Wilbeforce was as full of fun as
Sydney Smith ever was. Once having to
preach at a fashionable church in London,
on arriving at the door he encountered
his friend, Mrs. A., in the act of return
ing to her carriage. "What! going
away?" ''Only because can't get in"
"Do you mean that you wish to stop2"
Il came on purpose 'Then take my arm.
The crowd at the door was excessive. At
last the beadle appeared, to whom the
Bishop, in his blandest manner, said !:
"You will be so good az to give this lady
the best seat in the church" Impossible,
sir; church quite full" The Bishop
calmly, but with emphasis, repeated his
orders. "Quite impossible" repeated
the beadle; 81 tell you, sir, the church is
full" 80, but" (was the rejoinder) "I
won't preach if you don'tl" This elarm-
ing threat at once opened BUNDLES eyes.
30, I beg your perdon, my Lord (wink-
ing) "this way, marin" and he deposited
Mrs. A. in the church warden's luxurious
empty pew under the pulpit.

THE ExToRTIoN CASE.

he Police Court yesterday the case OF
R. Fitzgerald, charged with attempting to
extort money from the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company by verbal threats OF
publishing injurious statements, was called.
A venire of thirty-six jurors had been sum
moned. and nearly the entire number were
examined before twelve men were found who
had net formed some unfavorable opinion OF
the character Of the defendant or of the in
surance company. Late in the afternoon,
however, jury was impaneled.
The prosecution was represented by George
SCadwalader, Charles II. Jones and City At
torney Buckley. w. A. Anderson and L. j.
Clunie appeared for the defense.
| Prior to the impeachment of the jury w.
A. Anderson objected to the proceedings,
stating that under the existing law there was
no provision for drawing jury in any Court,
and surely none for Police Court The OBJ
lection was overruled, and the defense took
exception to the ruling.
The first witness sworn was Geo. A. Moore,
Vice President of the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company, who, after relating the
fact of Fitzgerald, having once been en-
ployed as solicitor for the company, stated
that few weeks ago the defendant came to
him and asked for the sum of 500. The wit
ness TESTIFIED that the Defendant then told him
that Warren Heaton. who was also an insur-
ance agent, aud w. ID. Stafford, who has re-
Gently been arrested for embezzlement of the
funds of an Eastern insurance company, had
given him 500 to publish and denounce the
Pacific Mutual. Defendant also said he had
taken the money because he needed it, but did
not wish to pursue any such course, and if
the company would give him 500 he would
return the sum already taken, would refrain
from making such publication, and would,
instead. give the company favorable adver-
tisement. After some other testimony OF an
immaterial nature the witness was dismissed,
and the Court adjourned until this morning.
From present indications the fight will be
warm one, the prosecution attempting to
prove that the defendant has bad character
in all respects. The defense, on the other
hand, viii attempt to ring in all possible in
furious facts in regard to the solvency OF the
insurance company.
