The Starry Night,
The Planets Holding High Car
niYaI Ia our October Sky.

The winter sky will be extra brilliant
and attractive during the coming season
owing to the fact that those three supe-
rior stars, Jhpiter, Mars, and Saturn
will play full engagements and appear
every night, These planets before their
late con junction in passing their peri
helion, for several years past had adorned
and made interesting our summer ilrma-
ment, but now they are on the frosty
side of the sun. About | O'Clock at night
the eastern sky Is very interesting to the
star-gazer, Jupiter and Saturn are both
plainly seen In line, the latter csc0rtng
the Pleiades, followed closely by the
IIyadcs, whose bright star Aldebaran
almost vies in beauty and brightness
with Capclla In the north, of which we
heard so much in the cometNry days of
spring but saw so little; and then later
up-riscs great Orion with his belts still
mloose, followed by beauteous Venus,
bright fthpmornIng, In all hcrradiNnce,
burning and eager for II war with Mars,
who is not fur of. Gaze upon this pics
ture, reader, and then let your thoughts
revert back to the days of job, and con-
slider how he looked forth upon these
same stars in their same positions, when
he asked, "Cans't thou unblnd the sweet
influence of the Pleindcs or loose the
bands of Orion ?"unchangcd and unchan-
gcablc, these scll-samc luminnrics that
fret the heavens with golden beauty, MS
the flowers enamel the earth, looked
down upon and comforted the patient
man Of Uz thousands of years ago even
as they look down upon and cheer the
hearts Of the sOrrowing now by the asst
rance they give Of the unchanged and
Interchangeable love Of their and our
Great Creator. H......

The Senate Organization.

There is an evident wish to avoid n
deadlock among the Senators of both
parties here since the announcement that
there will be certainly two Democratic
Senators paired Slater and Fair. 1t is
seen that the Republicans can, if they
see fit, prevent the election ofa Democrat
ic President officer by refusing to vote
and thus breaking quorum. The rules
! OF the Senate provide that q quorum
shall consist of majority of all Senators
appointed and sworn. As there are
three unsworn Senators, Il majority will
be 81. In full Senate, the Democrats
have 80 without Malone and including
David Davis. Without the two paired
Senitors, they have but tnirty-siX, one
short Of u quorum. In order to enforce
their right to the presiding officer, one
of the paired Democratic Senators might
be here. 1t is not believed all OF the
Republican Senators could he brought
to the point of breaking quorum which
could be remedied III n week by the
appearance ofeSlater or Fair, and even
if one of these could not be obtained, it
is felt that such an exhibition would not
be pleasing to the country nor bencf-
cial to the party In the approaching
elections. Indeed, the expressions OF
Mr.. Dawes, wgo led the Republican
forces in the deadlock Of the last session,
show almost II willingness to conccde the
Democratic organization without any
struggle, even should it include the
Secretary. 1t is very certain thatMr.
Gorham, the Republican caucus nominee
for Secretary, cannot now receive the
united vote of the Reublican Senators,
and probably not half of it. Riddle
berger, however, would be elected
Sergent-at-arms, If that Office fell to
the Republicans. There Is no disposi-
ton to retreat from the agreement with
'Mahone, who will be here and certainly
vote with the Republicans. A prelimina-
ry caucus will be held by both parties on
Saturday. There will be committees of
conference appointed by both, and every
effort will be made to come to inn agree
mcnt. 1t Is now conceded by the
Republican Senators here that they will
conccdc all the minor offices to the
Democrats in return for the election of II
Republican presiding officer. In addi-
ton they will agree to the formation Of
the committees and the basis Of absolute
equality of the parties. II is very
positively asserted that Davis will net
with the Republicans to elect presiding
officer should the three unsw orn Senators
be admitted previous to the election.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 1.-The matter
of the final interment Of the late Presi-
