1t is part of the eternal fitness of
things that the last days of the Demo-
cratic Congress should be illuminated by
the reappearance of the Louisiana liar.
He emerged yesterday i'll the Senate, and
it is said that the Democrats, undismay
ed by their previous experience with the
species and the recent episode of the Mo
rey letter. propose to make an elaborate
use Of him. The Democratic party was
always slow in learning things 1t took
the best part of half a century to learn
that q black man WAS human being. Ii
took five years to learn that the North,
with the right on its side. was stronger
than he South IN the W. ng. Il took
ten years to learn that the war amend
ments were valid. Will it ever learn
that perjury is a poor investment, and
that cheating doesn't prosper"-even in

remained at Schoenhausen prior to entering upon

own tenant farmers. He was always porting over his

A COMPLIMENT TO DIR. GOULD.

DR.. Gould, the director of the Cordoba Obser-
vatOry, South America, and the author of
Uranometria Argentina has had hearty
welcome III London by the Royal Astronomical
Society. Professor Hind, who was in the
chair, spoke of him rs q very distinguished
astronomer whoshad been foreign associate
of the Society tor more than a. quarter of a
century, and called upon him for some account
of his recent work III South America. POpu-
larly speaking, DR.. GOuds latest feat WAS bis dis
c0very of the great Southern comet, nearly year
ago. In explanation of his work at the South, DIR.
Gould said thar the primary motive of his ex
petition to the southern hemisphere was in
order to do what he could to extend toward
the Southern PCe the system of zone obscrya
tons begun by Bessell and continued by Aree-
lander, down to the 31st parallel of south DC
clinatiOn. Professor Highlander was anxious
that, instead OF beginning where he lett oil, DR..
Gould should make his zones overlap Arge-
lander's for some u or b, and be finally de-
cided to begin at 23o of south dcclinaLon; the
observations extend az far as 800 south They
are distributed in zones varying from % broad
10 One-eighth and One.slxtcenth of that
breadth. AS the region of the Milky Way was
reached, the breadth of the zones was halyod
or quar- tered, SO that a minimum number OF
stars might be lost. The observations are not
merely relative observations, INT iOl each zone
the Astronomical constants we've determined.

THE SWAN ELECTRIC LAMP.

The Swan electric lamp, which is attracting
o good deal of attention in England, closely
resembles the Edison and Maxim lamps here.
It's actual cost, says The English Mechanic, has
yet TO be settled in definite manner before
its success can be fully demonstrated but it
seems that those most interested are quite sure
about that, and it IS only the durability of the
carbon thread- hch is obviously a work Of
time-that Is at all open to doubt. Sir W.
Armstrong has already placed sixteen lamps in
his picture gallery at Cragside, which are equiv
alent to sixty-four ordinary sized Swan
lamps and he finds that they require about
three and three fOurths horse power to work
them. Sir William obtains the current from n
Siemens machine, driven by turbine wOrke d
10y O waterfall about tbree-ql alters Of q mile
from his house. The success of tue Swan sys-
tenn at Craesldc is demonstrated; but there the
power costs practically nothing, and II remains

time in Faneuil Hall. Old Boston knew him we'll
and Its great scholars and statesmen gathered to
hear him. Ben Butler had hired 100 rOnghs to in
tcrcept and mob him, and they were there scream

they stopped and order restored completely, and

question. Old Ben missed IL that time" said
the General With quiet laugh. The Boston iterati
were surprised at the strength and logic of his
speech, and many Of the Oldest men present came
up TO him and said they had heard Webster Sum-
ner, and ChOate there. and frankly said that his
speech the best they had ever heard in that
historic place. No wonder Massachusetts was for
Garfield at Chicago.
At the Fancuil Hall meeting many very distin-

attuned TO the harnOnics OF speech that they detect

know what they expected when they saw that
great big fellow on the rostrum, so plain OF dress
and without ring, Jewel, rule. He had on
plain suit OF gray clothes and no sign of watch
chain, brrastpin. or other tOmfoOlcry. He looked
just little rough to them. "They expected me-"
