produce upon the earth thousandth
prt of the eEil effect asoribed to the m
by the astrologers, if indeed they pre-
duced any evil effect whatever.
Still the astrological aluanacs for next
year are repeating substantially the same
predictions of EVIL things to begin, if not
to culminaie, in 1881. Because, as they
say, the ravages of the black death IN the
middle ages followed the nearly coinci
dent perihelia of four great planets they
predict similar consequences from the
contiguration of the planets now. But
neither in their premises nor their infer
ences does science recognize any validity.
In truth, however, the astrologers
not less than the astronomers aud all
stargazers, will have plenty of phenome
na in the heavens to occupy their atten-
tion for the next II months. The sky
will not present such brilliant pascants
again this century. There viii be a
remarkable series of coniunctions, and
double and triple conjuuctions. The
most interesting of these is the great
twenty year conjunction of Jupiter and
Saturn in April. This conjunction is one
of the stroagholds of the strongholds of
sstrologers. As it occurs in the sign
Taurus, which they say rules Turkey
and ireland, they feel safe, on account Of
recent occurrences, in predicting very
momehtous effects in those countries
from the junction. There will also be
conjunctions of Jupiter and Mars, Venus
and Jupiter, Saturn and Venus, and the
far-away giants. Uranus and Neptune,
will play part in this remarkable plane
tary levee.
Venus will reach her greatest bright
ness in the spring, and will be so bril-
liant as to be visible at MONDAY. Her
delicate crescent will be favorite object
in the amateur astronomers telescope
Saturn will open still wider its wonder
ful 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
a morning star in April Mars will be-
gin to brighten in the latter part of the
,ear, and then his snowy poles and shad
owy continents will again become the
admiration of those who gaze through
telescopes. In short there viii be no eud
OF attractions in the starry heavens, and
all the representations of the soothsay-
ers will not be able to darken the sky of
1881

A Mobile Terrapin Farm.
How the Dia nond Backs are Raised and Ehfpped-A Big Collection of Them.
 From the Mobile lAla.l Register.l

How the Din mond Backs are Raised and shtpped-A Big Collection of Them. | From the Mobile (Ala) Register.I few days ago an article clipped from q Washington paper appeared in the Register, giving description of Senator Dennis's ter I rapin farm in Maryland. As we have some- thing of the sort to boast of in the neigh | borhood of Mobile, It may not be amiss to give our readers description of MT. Mulford Dorlon's great terrapin farm at Cedar Point. This projection of land is on the western ] shore of Mobile Bay, about 30 miles below this city, and is inhabited principally by oystermen who reap golden harvests from ths | many beds which furnish nearly every oyster brought to the city of Mobile. Mir. Dorlon, who keeps store at this point, has about three | acres fenced in with strong billings. Lead ing to this inclosure are two canals, one on the bay side and the other on the gulf side which supply with salt water number of ditches 10 feet wide and 100 feet long. The sand accommodating from the excavation of these ditches IS thrown on each side, and used by the terrapins to sun themselves and lay their eggs in, which, if counted would go up to the millions, and can be raked up by the bushel. In the winter season the ter rapins remain imbedded in the mud of the ditches, where they stay until spring time,
 never touching morsel of food. A system of sluices enables Mr. Dorlon fill the ditche full
 of salt water, drain them at pleasure, and
 he IS not at all dependent on the tide for
 that purpose.
 The number of terrapins on the farm as
 far as can be ascertained by the closest
 calculation, is between 10000 and 25 ,OOO,
 and in the course of the next three or four
 years will be something hard to calculate.
 About May l, Mir. Dorlon makes his purchase
 of terrapins from country people on the Miss;ssiPei Sound .s.,d takes ell he can secure
 at $2 dozen, and that generally averages
 about g, GOO q year added to his farm, outside
 of those bred therein. The inhabitants of
 Mississippi and Alabama hunt the terrapins
 with dogs trained for the purpose. The dog
 barks when he finds one, and the hunter inn
 mediately secures 1t by going to the spot
 where the dog points.
 The cost of feeding the terrapins, which,
 as we have said, is only done in the summer,
 is about $1 per dozen for the season, and
 the price per dozen in New York has varied
 from SIS to $S. The food, which consists
 of crabs and fish, is caught with seine, in
 front of the farm, and really very little ex-
 pense is attached to the raising of these val
 uable land tortoises. MT. Dorlon begins to ship about Oct. 1, and then on to about May
 10. He generally sends his to Savannah by
 rail. and thence to New York by steamer, av-
 eraging about F, 900 season, and, had it
 not been for a disastrous hursicane, which
 some time ago washed out MT. Dorlon's farm,
 it would be to-day the greatest terrapin farm
 in the world. lie can always ship all he can
 get, for there is ready market for all

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has de- cided that an act of the Legislature passed in 1879 allowing creditors to examine their assets is unconstitutional.
 Simon Short-lightning, Smoker, Martha Shaker, White-shel, Second born, Charles they-hear him singing, Builds no house, Amos clothed in-mystery, and other Christian Indians at Devils Lake, Dakota, have peti- tioned the American Board to build them 8 church.
 The New York Herazd notes with regret that ''The community is full of brilliant graduates, men of the highest and purest as- pirations and endeavors, men who soar into the infinite, plunge bravely into the un- fathomable, but never pay quite hundred cents on the dollar. They mean well, but never seem to realize that they are living on other peoples money"
 Ex-Senator Dorsey has been interviewed, and says that the Cabinet is mainly though not entirely settled. He says Blaine will be a member of it, and that General Garfield

Dorsey also says that the gossip about the dinner lately given in his honor in New York city is stiffness. MT. Clinton Wheeler declares that Dorsey had no more to do with that dinner, except to eat it, than the man in the moon.

LEROY Expiates His Crime.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-Leffoy, the
murderer of Gold, was hanged
shortly after 9 O'Clock yesterday
morning. LEROY slept we'll last
night. He was silent on the way
from the cell to the scaftold, but
his expression was CHASTITY. The
drop fell nine feet, and death was
instantaneous. The scaffold was
concealed from the spectators out
side by tarpaulin, bung so as to
Intercept the view from the over
looking walls of the Jail. Marwood
was the executiOner,- and had q
scaffold of new pattern construct
ed. 1t is designed for the use of
the long drop. One OF the nrinci-
pal features was that the criminal
was not obliged t. ascend the steps,
but walked directly on 10 the plat
form, where he was on level with
the spectators. Here he stood upon
q hinged trap, falling downwafds
from the center anu opened by u
lever controlling 1t in front. Un.
derneath this was.a cavity, meas
uring IL by 8 feet and nearly Is
feet deep, thus giving the subject
fall of over IL feet and obviating
the danger of the criminals feet
touching the ground. Only q small
crowd was on the outside of the
jail. They were appraised of the ex-
ecution by the hosting of the black
flag.

Among the most notable of the lay
