Sun Spots.

A remarkable sun spot, which with slight telescopic aid is resolved. into congeries of spots of all shapes and sizes, is now visible not far from thesun equator. The.easiest and safest way to view it, where exact deination of details is not required, is to throw the image of the sun from the eyepiece of the tele- scope upon the ceiling of darkened- room by means of 8 prism, or upon white screen placed back of. the eyepiece. In the latter case no prism is needed. and good spyglass will suffice to show the spot if well steadied. When the great spot is thrown upon the ceiling, it's slow forward movement and tn trail ing strings of small spots and facule surrounding it make it resemble gigan- tic insect, with legs and antenna of out landish proportions. Under close tele- scopic scrutiny with hugh powers, its structure is so complex as almost to defy sketching. The tremendous energy of the forces at work may be appreciated when it is stated that the area of dis turbance exhibited is some O,OOO miles long by 10000 broad. Besides, what is seen, by direct view is only portion of the phenomenon. The great chasms that look like dark spots are nobody knows how many thousand miles deep, and above the suns apparent surface the disturbance extends through gase
 ous matter to equally enormous dis tAncas

A Famous Victory.

Iroquois has outdone Parole in the glory of his successes on the English
 turf for though the Derby may not be the greatest of races as real test of 8 horses best qualities, yet it has pres tige and fame which fairly give every horse that has won it name and 8 standing in equine history, such as can be derived from no other single achieve ment. It is the greatest race in the world, and has been contested by the greatest horses ever known, and that it has now been won by an American racer is fact that may well justify 8 reasonable elation on the part of our countrymen with whom this sport is @ passion, as we'll as sense of satisfaction in the public at large over the evidence thus given that the breed of noble bloods in horsehesh has not deteriorated in the generations passed on our soil and in our climate. He must be muddy mettled rascal who is not fond of horse, and the American people at large are indeed horsey nation. They are not only fond of horses, but they logically assume that if it is worth while having horse, it is worth while to try and get the best one that is at tainable. They have done this now for great while, and the successes of horses from American stables on the English turf, crowned now by the great achievement of Iroquois, may be taken as demonstration that they have not altogether failed in the attempt. Iro- quois reproduced in bronze would make picturesque figure at some well chosen point in Central Park. There are 8 great many monuments there of all sorts of creatures, mostly men; but there is not one in the whole collection about which would gather more sympa- thetic and sincere admirers than would stand around magnificent statue of the first American winner of the Derby.

Steamboat Laws to be Enforced.

In view of the te rrible steamboat dis aster in Canadian waters, where more than 200 lives were lost, Secretary Win dom has determined upon vigorous enforcement of the steamboat laws. He has therefore issued regulation, requiring supervising inspectors to re- port daily to the Supervising Inspector General of Steam Vessels upon the steamers visited by them, and instruct ing them in making such visits to in- quire of the licensed officers as to the general condition of the vessels, the safety of their hulls and boilers, the efficiency of the life boats and ether ife-saving apparatus, and to pay special attention to the precautions against fire. Special reports are required in case it is discovered that local inspectors when granting licenses have failed to exact all the requirements of law as to the euuip- ment of steamers. The department is of the opinion that every passenger and ferry steamer should be visited several times in the interval covered by it's in- spection certificate. Neglect or refusal to make any return or report required by law of Congress or regulation of the department is punishable by fine of not more than $1, 1000 nor less than $1OO. Three of the officers failing to make the daily report referred to have been called upon by letter from Secretary Windom to explain their neglect to comply with the order, and informed of the penalty they have incurred thereby.

The Genesis of Envelopes.

A Brighton, England, stationer took fancy for dressing h1s show-window with piles of writing paper, rising grad ually from the largest to the smallest size in use, and, to finish his pyramid off nicely, he cut cards to bring them to point. Taking these cards for diminutive note paper, lady customers were continually wanting some of '' that lovely little paper," and the stationer found it advantageous to cut paper to the desired pattern. As there was no space for addressing the notelets after they were folded, he. after much thought, invented the envelope, which he cut by the aid of metal plates made for the purpose. The sale increased so rapidly that he was unable to produce the envelopes fast enough, so he com- stoned dozen houses to make them for him, and thus set going an important branch of the manufacturing stationery trade.-LonClon NeaOs.

An INTERESTING SUIT IN A LIVERPOOL
 COURT

In the Liverpool County Court, last month, the proprietor of the Wasp newspaper appeared as plaintiff against Mir. Benjamin .Hyams, who had adver- tisements of h1s business inserted in the Wasp and refused to pay for them because they had not been set up &C., cording to copy. The case resolved it. self into question as to whether, in the event of an advertisement being sent to 8 paper with instruc tions to .in- sert, it was necessary to follow the ex- act setting as given in the copy, or whether the compositor could use his own discretion in the matter. After not 8 little discussing and conferring, 1t was decided that although the copy of the advertisement in question had not been followed in every respect, the fact of the advertisement appearing on the date ordered was sufficient to complete the contract. So MT. Hyams had to pay his bill, and the Wasp buzzed vic- toriously. It should be borne in mind that neither the sense nor wording of the litigated advertisement had been changed the alterations were purely mechanical, disturbing the arrange ment of the words without in the least interfering with the words themselves
 Legal precedents in newspaper cases, rare in this country, are rapidly multi plying in England. In the States must, of course, be excepted the legal literature of newspaper libel suits, which is very voluninous indeed - larger by far than it of right ought to be. Suits between publishers and ad- vertisers have been exceedingly rare with us, perhaps because the American compositor rigidly and conscientiously follows copy, though it should lead him out of a sixth-story window.

THE BAD CRows.-A correspondent of the Manchester (N. H. Mirror asserts that the crow is exterminating the sing ing birds of New England.

SEPARATED IN ,DEATH.-A somewhat curious story comes from town in Columbia county, N. J. Some years ago, as it runs, loving couple became estranged. Each married, and in the lapse of time the companions of both died. A year or so later the couple met, and not long after they were mar ried. A few months ago they both died within few hours of each other. They were buried on the same day, the wife by the side of her first husband, the husband beside his first wife.

A Thrilling Scene at Sea.

The Helvetia, belonging to the Ma tionaI Steamship Company, left New, York on the 7th of May, having 8 large number of cabin and steerage passen- gers on board, and arrived in the Mer- sey on Thursday. As described by one of the passengers, the vessel and all on board were miracalously preserved by the seamanship of the master of the British Queen, of the Philadelphia line. During the early morning of Friday, the 18th, dense fog arose as the Helvet1a cleared the Newfoundland Banks, and the fog-horn had been kept sounding for some hours. This had ceased being sounded for some time, when, at about r a. m., steamer under full sail and steam suddenly appeared, bearing down on the Helvetia's forequarter, and so close was she that the passengers and crew on deck were certain of fea1ful collision taking place in 8 few seconds. The man at the wheel on board the British Queen seemed deprived of all power to manage the vessel, and even seemed GO put the wheel the wrong way, when the captain was seen, in his night dress, to spring upon the bridge, knock the seaman from the wheel, and take his place. Then the sails were seen to flap, the ship obeyed the captain's s guiding hand, while all looked on with bated breath. Scarce twenty yards lay between the vessels when the British Queen, so gallantly handled, answered her helm, and rushed past the Helvetia's stern. Then there rang out a cheer never to be forgotten as the hundreds oi men, women, and children found them. selves saved from watery grave London Ieleqra10h.
