The Planet of Jupiter.

Jupiter is now beautiful object in the evening sky, rising before nine o'clock, and continuing visible throughout the night. He is rapidly drawing near to his opposition and increasing in size and brllliancy, as with every evenings return, he appears earlier above the horizon.
 At the end of September, he will rise quarter before eight o'clock. No, one can fail to recognize this beaming planet who looks at the eastern heavens after he has risen, for Jupiter near op- position is only exceeded in radiant beauty by one other star in the firma- ment, and this IS the peerless Venus.
 There are many interesting things to learn about the king of the planets. It is the largest world we know anything about, and affairs there are on scale of vast magnitude. Observation makes 1t probable that the process of world making is now going on there, and that Jupiter is in the condition in which the earth was millions of ages ago, his i'm mense size greatly retarding the process of cooling. For the larger the planet, the longer it takes to cool.
 Thus the moon has lost her heat and is dead star, while Jupiter, thirteen hundred times as large as the earth, is 8 a chaotic mass of melted and vaporized matter, giving out heat and probably some light.
 He is now near enough to the earth to become an interesting telescopic ob- ject, and astronomers are at work study ing his surface and seeking to discover new features. The two equatorial belts remain unchanged, and the rosy north ern belt, that came into being last year, is still there.
 So is the red spot in the south, that has varied little in dimensions since it was first seen in 1878. All kinds of theories are invented to account for it, but none is fully accepted. Some SUD- pose it is opening in the surrounding clouds, revealing the nucleus others think it is solid mass projecting through the vaporous atmosphere sur rounding the planet.
 The wisest astronomers cannot solve the mystery of the bands and spots, bu they agree in thinking that this gigantic orb is in a state of tremendous agita tion, and that observers may see, on , grand scale, repetition of the process |, by which the earth was transformed from a nebulous mass of fiery vapor t. be the beautiful abode for animate life

To be Tried in Washington.

A New York Herald correspondent called on District Attorney General Corkhill and found him absorbed in 8 work npon homicides. He was quite com- municative and stated positively that Guiteau would not go to New Jersey, neither for the purpose of attending the Coroner's inquest nor for trial, as he could see no reas on for it in either case The jurisdiction of the courts of the District of Columbia over Guiteau was unquestioned. He deprecated the ten dency to spring these trifing questions as to jurisdiction, and considered them inappropriate and uncalled for; that the law was plain and incontrovertible. He said, further, that Guiteau would be indicted, convicted of homicide and exc cuted in Washington that the only possible thing to prevent this would be lack of evidence, and this was not within the remotest possibility. He said that this case was as simple as any ever pre- sented to any court of law, and Gui teaus own confession, without further evidence, would hang him. Still there is an abundance of testimony, and h' does not see the slightest pretence fol alarm in this respect, and that the resul is foregone conclusion. The Distric Attorney says Guiteau will have justice no more nor less that the only thing which will prevent his ascending tn eallows will be the administration 0 hemp at the hands of revengefu public, for he will never kill himself Even if he should happen to fall int

 "So you are not another heiress P said Scott, quietly.
 "No, indeed far from it. Belle IS though. Her father is very wealthy Her mother is dead, and she is an only child"
 "Yes. We'll, you don't seem to allow your poverty to prey on your mind You are tolerably happy"
 "Oh, yes; am used to it. But you coat is done."
 Quite naturally she held it up while he slipped it on, and in moment fount herself in his arms.
 "Oh, MT. Scott!'
 "Hush, darlingl Don't call me MT Scott. That is not my name. My name is Donald to you"
 "But-but-"
 "Yes. I love you, Maud, love you dearly. Will you be my wife?"
 "Yes-at least"
 "Never mind the at least;' that one sweet word is enough"
 When Maud and Scott rejoined the party, something in their happy looks ''gave them away" They were tease6 little.
 "You see it Is we'll that am used tc being poor." she said, as she kissed hel cousin good night.
 "Yes; I suppose he is poor, very poor but will make Erskine do some thing for him." replied Belle, rathe patronizingly.
 "Are you engaged to Erskine ?" in quired Maud.
 "Yes, I believe so. You know always said would fly my kite high"
 So they parted, and met next morn ing.
 "I wish to have little talk witt you," said Scott. "And I would lik' Miss Harrison to be present also. will write your father by the first mail.
 They were soon seated in privat. parlor and Scott began "I am sorry to say that you do not know me as really am. I suppose I have done { very foolish thing, but in fact came here incog., and my name is not Scott but am in fact the Earl of"
 "And who-?" cried Belle, turning ghastly pale. "And who is-?"
 My friend, MT. Erskine? He i my tutor and best friend. He saved my life last year when we were in Swift zerland."
 A veil may as we'll be drawn over thu rest of the scene. Belle's disappoint ment was too genuine to be concealed and fortunately for himself Erskine' admiration for her beautiful face ha( never ripened into love. "The stitch in time decided me, sait the earl to his young wife as they stoot on the deck of the steamer waving thei adieus to their friends. "I loved yol always, but your kind-hearted attemp to repair that coat drew out my yer, heart, sweet wife,"

AN 4 UTUYNN SONG.

 Twas in the spring we met, my dear, One showery April day; The grass was full of violets
 And pretty but of May. I looked at you, you looked at me, The birds began to sing, And on each bush rain-jewels hung When we met in the spring. Twas in the fragrant summer, dear; The roses everywhere Were blushing with proud delight To find themselves so fair, When your sweet red lips, my dear, No longer could resist, And you confessed you loved me, dear, In the summer when we kissed. Twas in the lovely autumn, dear; The fields were rich in grain, Bright berries gleamed on way-side vines, And glowed along the lane, And all the trees were gayly dressed In Russet, gold, and red In autumn, when the grapes were ripe, And we, my dear, were wed. Then blessed be spring, for it first showed Your sunny face to me; And blessed summer, for it heard You VOW my love to be; And doubly blessed be autumn for The crowning of my life: It saw that happy day, my dear, Wh en you became my wife.

A Fathers Advice.

Not long ago young man in Carson got married, and started for California with his young wife. As he boarded the train his father bade him good-by and gave him the paternal blessing.
 "My son." said the aged sire, shaking with emotion, etc, s'remember these words if you never see me again Never go into place where you would not take you wife,"
 The couple settled in Mariposa County, and last week the old man went down to visit them. He proposed 8 bear hunt, and they were fortunate enough to track grizzly to his lail among some of the boulders in the chapparal. AS the two approached, the bear reused up and sent forth growl ot defiance which shook the trees.
 "Go in there and kill 'im," said tho old man excitedly.
 The son held back, further acquaint ance with the bear seeming in some re spect undesirable.
 "Count me out," he said.
 ''Have I crossed the seas and settle, in America to raise coward ?" shouted the father, brandishing his gun.
 ''I but recollect your advice when left Carson," was the reply. "How ca, I forget your sage precepts? Dldn' you tell me never to go where I couldn' take my wifeP Now, how would Ss look in there with that bear ?'
 The old man clasped hls dutiful son his bosom, and as the bear issued forth exclaimed:

THE CAUSE OF THE CHANGE
