The Star of Bethlehem.

The Star of Bethlehem, as Tycho Brahe' :
star has been called, is due next year, accord
ing to the guesses of astronomers. In 1872
this celebrated astronomer was walking i'll his
garden, and, looking up at the sky, was aston
ished to see a large star blazing IN the con
stellation of Casiopreia, in the zenith. He
could hardly believe his eyes. The star, how
ever, continued to shine for more than year
and then disappeared Inspecting the records,
the astronomer found that in 1864 such a star
had appeared, and one also in 945. Counting
backward it was thought possible that this
star, having period of about 315 years, might
have been the star which the magi had seen i'll
the year l of this era; in other words, that it
may have been the star Of Bethlehem. Add
ing 3l5 to the date of the last appearance in
1872, this star would be due again in 1887
but its periods have not been quite regular,
and 10 years is the average of its cycles.
This would bring the star into sight again i'll

Insane Over His Sick Wife.

The murder of Mrs. Hoffeld at Louisville,
by her husband on Sunday, was most horrible.
They were well-to-do people. She had been
sick several weeks with neuralgia, and her
mind was affected Her husband waited on
her constantly and refused to leave her bed
side for three days and nights. The continued
anxiety for his wife and loss of rest had pros
trated his nervous system, and he was verging
on insanity. When left alone in the sick
chamber Of his wife the idea seized him that
she needed bleeding, and he administered
opiates to her, and then, with penknife,
made seventeen cuts on her body. all slight,
except one in the arm, which severed an ar
terry, from which she bled to death. He then
laid down by her side and went to sleep. A
son entered the room five hours afterward,
and was horror stricken. The husband fought
with the strength and fury of maniac against
being taken from the side of his wife, protest
ing that he had bled her to save her life, and
that she was only in a gentle sleep.
