Professor Daniel Kirkwo0d, of BLOOMINGTON
Ind. describes in The Scientific american what
Is termed the great meteor Of March g. 1882
At about II O'Clock, he says, on the night of
March Q, 1882, meteor Of great size and brill
fancy exploded over KOsciuskO county, In
DIANA in latitude Al deg. 20 min. NJ, longitude
Is deg. so min. w. from Washington The fol-
lowing account of the phenomenon is derived
from the The WarsaO Republican of March Is.
1882 and from letter written by Mr. Albert
Parker, an intelligent and trustworthy Obser-
yer.
Mr.. Parker was one Of party of five Young
men who, at the time of the explosion, were rid
ing in an open carriage or wagon about eight
miles northeast of Warsaw, the county seat of
Kosciusko county. The sky was entirely COW
cred with clouds, and snow was rapidly falling.
Consequently the meteor could not be seen till
1T had passed below the clouds; and as the ex-
plosiOn took place within less than q second
after its appearance, no trustworthy estimate
could be formed of the time of fight. The mo-
ton OF the meteor was from south to north, and
was accompanied by noise resembling that of
rapidly moving train of cars. Its color was a
bright red. and its apparent size nearly equal to
that OF the full moon. According to Mr.. Parker
1t was nearly overhead-pr0bably little north
of the Zenith-at the time of its explosion The
report was distinctly heard at Warsaw, and ex-
cited much attention from the fact of its occur
the meteor twas so brilliant as to blind any
person looking directly at it, and notwithstand-
Ing the storm hghtened the entire vicinity as
clearly as the brightest day at noon" To Mr..
Parker and his companions the explosion and
report were very nearly simultaneous No
aerOlites, however, II any fell In the vicinity
have yet been found.

From the Baltimore American.
Labor strikes have been frequent during the
past six months. and there are dim hints and
Outgivings that during the summer there will
be more extensive strikes. ''The Knights of
Labor" q secret association of workingmen.
has grown with great rapidty during the past
six months; and though the order claims that
It disapproves of strikes in general, yet, never
theless, 1t also claims that it ''has never lost
strike" 1t is understood that the strike at the
Georges Creek mines. i'm this state is conducted
under the advice of the Knights of Labor The
society was organized in 1859 and laid down in
its constitution, as its aim and object Ito secure
to the tOilers proper share of the wealth they
create; more of the leisure that rightfully be-
longs to them; more society advantages; more
OF the benefits. privileges, and emOluments of
the world; In word, all those rights and privi-
leges to make them capable Of enjoying. appre-
ciating, defending. and perpetuating the biess-
ings OF good government"
These objects are all laudable and proper. the
question being only as to how they are to be
sought; The society spread slowly at first. It

impress upon their minds the nobility of labor,
and the need Of br0therly ties to insure CO.
operation. secrecy and loyalty. 1t is said that
there are now 1,S30 local organizations,
l53 OF which have been formed since September
last. There are said to be q, 900 members in the
state OF Pennsylvania alone. The state of Mary
land is said to contain only $500. The order is
extended through the north and west, but Ala
bama and Tennessee are the only southern
states where they exist In any numbers. So far
as appears from the facts as made public, the
order consists Of picked men. and not, as trade
unions In theory are, of all the operatives of
each several calling. 1t is the object Of trades
union to secure the cooperation of all the repu-
table workmen of any special trade; the Knights
OF Labor, however, elect their members by secret
ballot. a few black balls rejecting a name, and
the members are selected from all trades. The
essential difference of the two is perceived in
this. The order will not operate by mere force
OF numbers, but by greater intelligence.
One of the features of the order is the coIlec-
ton of statistics, such prices of labor treat
ment by employers, condition of workshops, &c
These are sent by the local organizations to the
district and the central organization. The
knights also promote labor discussions in public
wherever it is deemed opportune, and take the
initiative in all agitations which aim at better
ing the condition of the wOrkingman. 1t is
evident that for veal or woe the organization
will exercise an important influence on the in
dustrial and, perhaps the political condition of
the country In the near future. Should the
power of the order continue to increase at the
rate ofthe past six months, it will have the re-
sponsibilities upon it that are inseparable from
power.

doubly unfortunate In being the weak child OF a

Horace Greeley's Shoes.


About the year 1870, when Arthur Barrett was
President of the Fair Association, Mr.. Greeley
accepted an invitation to deliver the annual adj
dress in the amphitheater at the Fair grounds.
Colonel Todd was chairman Of the reception
committee, and after the close of the address es-
cOrted the speaker to his room at the Southern
hotel. where he babe him goodbye. as Mr..
Greeley was to leave the city early on the follow
ing morning. Before leaving him, however, Col
0nel Todd said:

stay here everything has been done for your com
fort and that everything has been satisfactory to
you"

Convicts for stage villains.


On a par with the realistic impulse which
once prompted leading hagedan, waen cast
for the part Of Othello, to blacken himself from
head to foot, so that, in color at least, he might
be ''every inch the Moor" may be accounted
the inspiration recently moving the manager Of

and dumb gentleman to perform the title role
in Bouilly's thrilling melodrama lie Sourd-
Muet." 1t is impossible to help admlring the
bold spirit Of enterprise and deep devotion TO
1.-THE mities" indicated by this engagement; but
It seems to us to represent principle which, u
too exactly adhered to by managers In general,
might bring about results tending to lower the
social status of the dramatic profession, and
predispOse the public at large to regard actors
with iustidabe distrust. lit should come to
be deemed essential that player must be fitted
to his part In such sort as to satisfy every re-
quirement OF the realistic school. q new field Of
activity would inevitably be thrown open to the
criminal classes In connection with performances
OF the sensational drama. In all probability the
engagement, for instance, Of an experienced
malefactor to iDpersonate the william Of the
piece" would insure O lifelike rendering Of that
part, and, to audiences Of philosophical turn
Of mind, invest IL with peculiar interest Real
c0Rvicts on the stage might, moreover, prove
deterrents rather than attractions to the average
play-goer; and we shudder to contemplate the
expense conscientious manager might be put
to in his endeavors to secure live king for

cardinal In the flesh for Lord Lyttons Richelieu.
