Neptune will play part in this re-

Venus will reach her greatest bright

delicate crescent will be a tavorite ob-

wonderful rings, and will be one of the
chief attractions Of the evening sky for
several months. Jupiter will not lose
much OF his present brilliancy before
he becomes morning star in April,
Mars will begin to brighten in the lat

poles and shatlowv continents will
again become the admiration of those
who gaze through the telescopes. In
short, there will be no end of attrac-

representations Of the soothsavers
will not be able to darken the sky Of

IHE TENNESSEE LEGrSLATURE.-W.
Is: Ra1nsay, who was elected Speaker
OF the House on Monday, is regarded
rs more OF Greeubacker than a Re-
publican. The Republicans were
forced to accept the declaration of the
Warren Grcenbackcrs and ignore the
caucus nominee, X. Il. Butler, to pre-
vent the election of a Democratic
speaker. The State Credit and Low
AK democrats acted in the utmost
harmony.. The Democratic Senators
OF both wings held caucus Tuesday
night and resolved to vote for Demo-
crat for Speaker OF the Senate.

THE health statistics of New York
City show that during the past year
there were 81 1866 deaths and 1856
births, showing a decrease which
must be balanced by immigration.
Nearly four thousand deaths occurred
during the hot month Of July, as
might be expected, for onc-fourth of
the whole number of deaths was Of
children under one year old, and two
fifths of children under five. This is
convincing proof that the crowded
tenement houses are vast slaughter
houses and that some reform is urgent
ly needed to prevent q decrease of
population in our great metropolis.

mother. whatever he 10 to others,
to her he Is her boy. Biography Is
rich with illustrations of this truth,
although the man whose mother

ognize his force. Here, for exam

When he Is fifty. and his mother

ness: "You have been the best
mother, in the world. / thank
you for your indulgence to me, and

there are whom the world little

son.
