The cause of the disagreeable taste of the
Cochituato water having been discovered,
Boston is agitated-not for the first time
however-over the demoralizing tendency
of much of the fiction that is circulated
through tho Public Library. Mr.. James
NJ. Hubbard has recently published
pamphlet on this subject, which is now
under discussion in the newspapers. Con-
siderable feeling is manifested against the
trustees of the library because they will
not stop the circulation, among adults as
well as among young persons, Of certain
sensational novels, the influence of which
is thought to be immoral.

Boys, you'll find this life just like u
game of seven-up. You want to save your
tens and look out for n game, and never
beg when you have good hand. Also, re.
collect in the long run low counts as much
as high if it is only trump. The devil
has stacked the cards, but just play EN-
honest, and when it comes your deal yer
boun to get winnin' hand every time,
and the old split-hoof will just have to
jump tho game and look for softer snap.
Also, if you happen to turn jack, call it
lucky, but don't forget to remember that
turnin' jack is uncertain business, and IL
never do to bet On.-Cdrl Pret.ei.

Sweet is the Lady Rosalie

Judge Cox,s Crank correspondent.


Judge Cox yesterday sent note to the
authorities requesting that the author of an In
closed letter should BIO hunted up, and, as he
was evidently n "crank," Gagged at st. Eliza
beths, The letter referred to was addressed
to His Honor Judge Cox, the Court and boss
Of the Guiteau trial, at Washington, d. c." and
was signed by ~. w. Shively, the True Mes
teau is endeavoring to exculpate himself of the
crime which his innate deviltry suggested by
blaming II ON tho Deity.
SNOW, Your Honor, II you call mo to the
stand as tho Messiah TO answer the charge
made by the prisoner Guiteau, II l say the
Deity is responsible Guiteau is innocent, II not
he is guilty"
This unique proposal is couched In a long,
curious document which Is difficult to compre-
bend, but It several times reiterates that the
'Awful Majesty" should be brought to answer
Guiteau's charge. John Connell, the sanitary
officer, investigated the case, and found Mr.
Shively ut No. Ala Sixth street northwest, this
morning, and arrested him.
Shively Is an impressive looking and ancient
"crank, with snowy hair and n very high
forehead, and says he is q resident OF Saratoga
Springs and is n travelling agent OF n steel pen,
siah and the spy Of the Christian religion. The
venerable "crank" talks necessarily, denounc-
ing alternately Christianity and all Christians
and the assassin Guiteau.
Mr.. COnnell says he will have the man tempo
rarily sent to the Insane Asylum.
Greater interest ~ added TO this case by n
statement which Shively made when he first
arrived In the city, but which he refuses to
repeat that would indicate that he is the crank
who was arrested near Chicago some time ago
with papers on his person which started n
theory OF conspiracy to assassinate Gen. Gar
field. II is impossible to substantiate this
fact, as shively refuses to say anything on tho
subject,

1t is extraordinary news about the comet
that comes from the Cincinnati observatory
Prof Stone reports that on Wednesday night
he perceived evidences of tremendous aglta
ton in the nucleus, and separation into two
pats. If the comet should split IN two the as
Economical world would have excitement
enough. Biela's comet in 1916 became divid.
ed, and the two parts were seen racing side by
side on the comets return in 1852, and after
that the comet was never seen again But in
November, 1872, when 1t should have been
visible, ii 1t yet existed, there came suddenly
out of that quarter of the heavens where the
comet was looked for driving shower of fire
balls, and the astronomers said these mcteors
were fragments of the lost comet.
Prot. Price showed, mathematically, that the
nuclei of some comets must be as dense and
tenacious as steel. If that is true of the pres
ent comet, and if the estimates which give its
nucleus diameter Of 1000 miles or more are
correct, who can conceive the terrific power of
the force needed to rend 1t in two?
The theories that the nuclei of comets are
dense swarms of meteors, or clouds of liquid
particles, or masses of gaseous matter, seem
far more likely to be true IN this case than
that the nucleus Is a metallic ball of planetary
bulk

If you anchor pole IN body of water and
put spider upon 1t, he will exhibit marvel
lous intelligence by his plans TO escape. AT
first he Will spin web several inches long
and hang to one end while he allows the 9TH
er to float off in the wind, IN hope that il will
strike some object. Of course this plan proves
a failure, but the spider is not discouraged.
He waits until the wind changes, and then
sends another silken bridge floating off in an
other direction. Another failure is followed
by several other similar attempts, until all the
points of the compass have been tried. But
neither the resources nor the reasoning pow
ers of the spider are exhausted. He climbs
to the top of the pole and energetically goes
TO work to construct a silken balloon. He has
no hot cir with which to initiate it, bat he has
the power Of making it buoyant. When he
gets his balloon finished he does not 60 oil
upon the mere supposition that it will carry
him, as men often do but he fastens 1t 10 a guy
rope, the other end of which he fastens to the
island pole upon which he is prisoner. He
then gets into his aerial vehicle, while il Is
