A Negro Sermon.

l A correspondent of the Repu6licdu travel l ing in the South sends this extract from s
 sermon he recently heard by a colored preacher: 'De hars ob yer head are all

The Planetary Programme.

There are no specially striking spectacles in the planetary programme for April. Jupi- ter will be the evening star until the 22d, when he comes into conjunction with the sun. Saturn, another evening star, comes into conjunction with the sun at o'clock on the evening of the Fist. Venus and Uranus are also evening stars the latter being visi- ble to the naked eye on clear moonlight nights. Mercury and Mars are morning stars, but the latter is not near enough to be an object of interest. The April moon fulls on the 14th. The theory of planetary action as powerful force in the production of sum- spots has been more strengthened than weakened by careful observation the past month, and astronomers generally agree that the disturbed condition of the sun is reflected in the disastrous meteorological phenomena on the earth

After all his lifelong work upon the plat form and with the high fees his fame and ability justly command John B. Cough is moi a rich man. His private charities are as large and numerous as they are unostentatious, for this great-hearted man does not let his left hand know what his right hand does. He has met with frequent and heavy losses on account of the tender hearted willingness with which he puts his valuable autograph on the back of friends album for 90 days. and the almost infallible certainty with which he IS compelled to get it back again for him. self when the three short months have flown. MT. Cough ought to be worth half Q million dollars, but like most men whose hearts are wrapped up in and whose lives are consecrated to some great work of reform, he is not good business man, and impecu- nious friends and suffering humanity have got most ot the money the great apostle of temperance has earned by hard platform work.
