latest From the Moon

Professor Proctor's last lecture before
sailing for Europe was upon the moon,
and it was very interesting. The moon
does not revolve around the earth, Re
said, but the two circle about each
other, and the real center of the revo-
luton of each is the sun. If there
were railway sufficiently elevated"
to reach the moon, which is 23S,8I8
miles distant from us, we should be
fifteen months making the journey at
ordinary railroad speed.
Upon arriving, we should observe
several interesting phenomena. First,
it is very respectable luminary of a
diameter of 2,081 miles, with a
surface of 100000 square miles, a
volume e-forty-ninth of that of the
earth, and mass one-eighty-first of it.
Then, the force of gravity being one
sixth of that of the earth, we could be
thinty-six feet high, and still quite as
active as we are bere. But our longer
bodies would have longer day in
which to disport themselves, for there
Is a lapse of twenty-nine and one-half
OF our days between the lunar sunrise
and sunset Our extremities, however,
would certainly suffer after sunset. for
the surface of the moon is $50 degrees
below zero at midnight, and the reac-
ton toward noon would try even ouI
prolonged proportions, for at noon the
surface would be 38 degrees above the
boiling point. We should be yery
lonely, probably, for there is no living
creature there now.
Still, as Professor Proctor had said
that all planets pass through five stages
the last of which is death-a stage
which the moon has reached-the an
prehensiye mind naturally inquiries how
soon the earth viii probably reach it
The professor answers, re-assuringly
that the earth is now about 500, ,OOO, ,O0C
years old, and that it took the moon
oO,OOO,OO0 to reach its present state
He therefore concludes that it will take
the earth 5G0,0OO,O00 years more to
reach the same condition. There is
theE no immediate cause for apprehen.
sion.

Yankees in Mexico.

Toledo Blade.
Mexico seems to be attracting the at
tention of enterprising Yankees just
now as much or more than any other
country. There are fine opportunities
for making money in various ways.
The mines are rich in gold and silver,
but they are worked precisely as they
were centuary ago. No advantage
has been taken of modern machinery
or modern ways of working. What
was good enough for their forefathers
is good enough for these indolent Mex
leans.
1t is the same with their farming,
sugar raising, and what few manufac-
lures they have. Everything is con-
Quoted in the primitive styles CT years
ago, leaving all labor saving machines
out in the cold. AS a consequence,
there vast resources which are almost
entirely undeveloped, and which await
energy and enterprise such as the
natives have not, but which are pos
sessed by our own people TO the fullest
extent.
1t is. not strange that an immense
trade is foreseen, and that all over the
United States are those who are prepar
ing to take advantage of these possibil
tiles. With the building of railroad:
and the opening up of the interior, the
tendency thitherward will be ever
greater than now, and the time is moi
far distant when the capitalists of Mex
leo will be citizens of the United States

How to Make Yourself Unhappy.


In the first place, if you want to
make yourself miserable, lie selfish.
Think all the time of yourself and
your things. Don't care about anything
else. Have no feelings for any but
yourself. Never think of enjoying the
satisfaction of seeing others happy; but
rather, if you see a smiling face be
jealous lest another should enjoy what
you have not. Envy every one who is
better off than yourself; think unkind-
ly towards them, and speak lightly of
them. Be constantly afraid lest some
one should encroach ON your rights; be
watehful against it, and if any one
comes near your things snap at them
like a mad dog. Contend earnestly for
everything that is your own, though it
may not be worth a pin. Never yield
a point BE very sensitive, and take
everything that is said to you in play
fulness in the most serious manner
Be jealous of your friends lest they
should not think enough of you; and il
at any time they should seem to neg
lect, put the worst construction
upon their conduct.

lie who wishes to exert useful influence
must be careful to insult nothing. Let
him not be troubled by what seems alb

not demelish but build. He must raise
temples where mankind may come and
partake of the purest pleasure.-Gocthe.

Prisoners Attempt to Escape.

DETROIT, April -Four convicts made des
perate attempt to escape from the state Prison at
Jackson, at O'Clock this afternoon. They were
employed on the agricultural implement contract
of Wellington. Cooley n Co.. the four being in n
room near the north wall with their keeper. Sud
denly one Of them desperate character, named
Lynch, sprang upon him, knocked him down.
and proposed to Kill him. butwa prevented doing
so by one of the other convicts. who said he
would watch him while preparations were per
fected for the escape and If he endeavored to get
up or raise the alarm, he would kill him with a
large pair of tongs which he held in his hands.
While he was watching him the other cOnvicts
tied three ladders together and then all rushed
through back door for the wall against which
they placed the ladder. Lynch was the first 10
ascend and he had reached the top of the wall
and was just going over, when the alarm was
raised, and the guards and others were quickly
on hand. One of the wall guards shot Lynch
three times, when he fell dead. The other con-
victs made a slight resistance, but were soon
overpOwered. The arm of one of the keepers was
quite severely injured in the meele, and two or
three cOnvicts who assisted the authorities, also
received slight injuries.

THE PRESIDENT ON TOP.
COnkling Finds His Supporters to DO Few
and Far Between.

anu DcJNeen.
WASHINGTON, April THE statement con-
tanned in numerous dispatches from here that the
President may decide to revive the ancient Gus
tom, and go in person to the Senate to break the
deadlock, is all bosh. There is no necessity for
the President to resort TO any extreme or even
ancient measures to break the dead lock. He Is
embarrassed by the situation, and would like to
have the nominations confirmed, but in accord
ance with his expressed opinion. he has hesitated
I o advise the Seuate what il ought to do He has,
in short, not interfered, and, naturally, has
hoped TO see his party win, now that the Demo-
Gratis appear determined TO stand on the
ground that their party Is not suffering because
of the deadlock. IL IS believed that the President
will ask his friends In the Senate to go into exec
utive business If the present situation continues
much longer. The President has supporters
enough in the Senate TO execute his wishes when
he chooses TO express thems and say the dead
lock must be broken
1t is evident that there has been considerable
bluSter in the talk OF making war against the Adj
miniStratiOn because OF RObertsOn's nomination.
COnkling much prefers compromise to war, and
he and all his friends using all their energies
and influence TO obtain little concession from
the President so as a retreat may be sounded and
called a compromise. thorough canvass of the
Senate by reporter of the Western Associated
Press shows that COnkling is doomed TO defeat,
and ne knows il. Only two Democratic Senators
even talk OF voting with him. Maxey, Voorhees,
and Garland. who have been published as his
supporters, deny and denOunce the report as
false. On the Republican side. Conkkng, should

COnkling was elected TO go TO Wisconsin with

AT the inquest il was developed that Goodwin

not by the visiting man and woman. The woman

proves TO be one Kate Sample, an abandoned w0
