Three Planets on Exhibition.
] am as ever,
A TIMES READER.

Venus is becoming very brilliant in
the evening sky, throwing her fiery
neighbor Mars completely into the
shade. In the telescope she now re-
sembles the moon when it is. a little
past half full. Through the autumn
she will continue to grow more and
more brilliant, until she appears as a
thin crescent, u silver bow. Then she
will disappear as star, to reappear on
the 9Th of December as n black dot on
the sun. At that time she will have to
face such bristling array of telescopes
as was probably never before turned
upon any celestial body. Everybody
will want to have at least one good
look at Venus upon the SUMS disc, fol
all the world will be talking about it
and neither we of this generation nol
our children, and but few even of ou
grandchildren will behold another tran
sit of Venus, for the next occurs in th'
year 2OO4. Saturn and Jupiter are be
ginning to show conspicuously in tn
morning sky. Saturn especiallyis is nov
beautiful object for the telescope, a
it rises early, and at or 3 o'clock AN
is entirely clear of the mists of tn
horizon. Its rings have opened S
widely that in their narrowest diamete
they are as broad as the ball of tn
planet, and the division between tn
two principal rings can be seen all tn
, way round, except where they pass b'
hind the planet, even with small tel
: scopes. With sufficient telescope pov
t er the marvellous gauze ring inside IL
other two can be beautifully seen.
does not require much magnifyir
+ power TO show the black band
v shadow that the globe of Saturn cas-
e upon the rings on the side away fro
the sun.

Money and Business.

The business situation was never
more perpleXing than now. Large
crops, in all departments, and uncer-
tainty as to foreign crops, make the
outlook from this standpoint unfavora-
BILE. But the balance of trade cOntin-
ues steadily against us, and the large
imports are pouring vast sums into the
national treasury. Nearly thirty mil
lions of dollars of the national debt
have been paid in the two months of
the present fiscal year. If this rate of
payment continues, it will reach fully
one hundred and seventy-five millions
for the year. The difficulty attending
this rapid reduction of the debt is to
get in bonds fast enough to relieve the
treasury of its accumulated funds
! While this tends to stringency, the in
creased discount rate abroad and the
demand for gold tends to deplete oul
gold supply. At the same time, the
shipment of money west to move the
crops tends to stringency east. Thes'
are the unfavorable conditions whicl
will continue, with more or less force
during the remainder of the month.
If, as is reported, the foreign crop
are generally poor, ours must be IL
demand. 1t is certain that Egypt vii
be out ofthe market; and India will no
be able to reach the European markets
Crops in England, and in parts of tn
continent, are reported poor. Thus a
the probabilities point to large foreig
demand. This should be in full fore
, by October, and our exports shoul
5 begin in the present month. lndee
I at recent declines, large foreign ordel
y came in. The end of it will be the c!
/ port of our surplus products if we
r not raise prices to speculative limit
This is now the only practical DANCE
p If we can hold our markets ut a ia
r limit, our cotton, breadstutls and pr
/ visions should give us the balance
o trade and put the country again
: the high road to prosperity.

Jumbo and the Machine.

When the great elephant Jumbo
arrived in this country he was taken
to the Madison Square Garden and
efforts were made to restrain his free |
dom. A heavy chain was brought and |
one end of it was fastened to his right !
hind foot. A long and stout crowbar
was driven nearly its full length into
the ground and the other end of the
chain was passed over the top Oft. 1t
was believed by the experienced keep
ers that this arrangement would keep
Jumbo quiet in case he felt like assert
ing his liberty. Jumbo waited with
apparent indifference until this opera
ton of tying him had been completed.
Then in a dreamy and abstracted way
he lifted the tied foot. The crowbar
emerged suddenly from the ground,
and the long chain with the crowhar
at the end of it went flying through
the air with the vicious swish of II
whip lash, to the imminent danger Of
!
who stood about. Without the slight
est indication Of Il consciousness that
he had done anything surprising,
Jumbo put his foot down again and
ruminatcd as before. 1t was the Opin-
ion of the bystanders, when they arose
from the ground, that Jumbo was an
! animal of considerable latent force.
We observe at this time in New York
Delaware and other States Il little
political game in progress which re-
! minds us of the experiment Will
5 Jumbo. Certain ambitious but rejected
politicians, whose sad experience ough
to have taught them better, are tryins
anew the experiment of binding down
5 the Republican party by machine
force. They have picked up the piece
+ of a machine which was shattered Il
e Chicago in 1880 and are trying to glu
5 them together for fresh service by tn
G adhesive force of unlimited Fedora
). patronage. They have chosen thei
5 time well. The people are busy wit
l. their business affairs, engaged in gath
T. ering one of the most bountiful harvest
l. the country has ever produced. /
is the presence of a 00,000,000 bushC
wheat crop, a 1,3O0,OO0,000 bushel cor
Is crop, and oats and potatoes in propo
v ton, they are paying little attention
le politics. Like Jumbo, they are appa
,e entity Indifferent to the efforts which
N few would-be-kecpers are making
re bind them.
w The machine operators mistake tn
er absence of resistance for acquiescenC
in and are rejoicing already at their su
r. cess. Presently the party will lift
tied foot, and the machine will
be through the air after the manner
as Jumbo's chain and crowbar. Sever
NO people who are now dancing about t
machine with delight will regret tn
raj that they were not further off at t
of time of the disaster. There is cOnsi
in cradle latent force in the people as W
he as in Jumbo.-N Y. Tribune.

Invitation.

Strangers are invited to visit
our store, when in Philadel,
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
of it generally. 1t is a handy
place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts Of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
rcfrcshment of strangers.
One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very well thatmost
of you come to us for a good
i. share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
: intruding goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place?
;. But perhaps you arc not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool
t. cr time. It's cool enough ii
the store, when you get here
You can write for any good:

were on the spot. Any how
you know, you can return
s. whatever you get that yo1
70 don't like.
We sell more sorts {

an advertisement. So, what
rs. ever you want, suppose 20

If anyone thought that the Mormons
would accept the situation in which
the passage of the Edmunds bill put
them, he can now undeceive himself.
The Church of the Latter Day Saints
will make a strong fight for the pecu-
liar institution without which their re-
ligiOn has no charms. Such is their
position as declared by their leaders in
an address to the faithful which
abOunds in sickening cant and stale
platitudes. "Many wives or none' is
their shibboleth. 1t is plain that these
defiant Mormon law-breakers must
have the benefit of further legislation

LOVES DEPTH.

Loves height is easy scaling; skies allure;
Who feels the day-warmth needs must find it
fair:
Strong eagles ride the lofty sunlit air,
Risking no rivals while their wings endure.
Yet is thy noblcst still thy least secure,
And falling thee-shall then thy love despair
Shall not thy heart more holly prepare
Some depth unfathomable-perlectp pure?
Say that to thee there comes loves dreadful call
The downward swftnesS of thy best TO see;
Say that he sin or sicken, what of thee?
Are thine arms deeper yet to stay his fall?
Scarcely loves utmost may in heaven be;
TO hell it rcaChcth so It's love at all

The Utah Commissioners report that
under the Edmunds act the names of
about 10000 Mormon voters will be
erased from the poll lists. The voting
population of Utah is about $4,000, of
which not over 5000 are Gentiles.
This leaves the Mormons majority of
5000. Had the Commissioners con-
strued the act so as to disfranchise the
women, as the Gentiles claimed the
Commission had a right to do, the Nor
mon voters would be in a minority
But the Commission wisely held that il
had no right to disfranchisc anyone
not living in polygamy. As a general
thing Gentle ladies refrain from vot
ing, but now, since the approaching
contest will be close, it is likely tha
they will be prevailed upon to exercis,
that privilege for which the strong
minded of their sex have clamored $,
long and so loudly. If woman suilrag
is needed anywhere it seems that tn
Gentle ladies of Utah are the ones tha
should desire 1t most,

In slavery days, the chimes of st.
Michael's Church, Charleston, were
rung at p. m. in Winter and in
Summer as signal to negroes that
their bedtime was nigh, and again an
hour later to warn them to disappear
from the streets, after which all blacks
found abroad were arrested. The
custom was continued until few days
ago, though nobody has Obeyed the
bells since the war. The Mayor has
now cut off the salary of the ringer,
and the act is exciting considerable
discussion among the old residents.

SINGULAR FACTS ABOUT CORN
There are some curious things about
corn, and one is where do the red ears
and the speckled ears come from when
you don't plant any but white corn,
and another is, why don't we find an
ear with an odd number of rows on it?
You can find a four-leaf clover, but we
have never found the odd row on an
ear of corn yet. 1t is always fourteen,
or sixteen, or twenty, or some even
number, and the curious would like to
understand what corn knows about
mathematics, and what objection
nature has to odd numbers.

Long after she left me pOndered in

DELAWARE BIsCUIT.-A lady in
Dover gives the following recipe for
making Delaware biscuit: Five cups
flour, one cup water, one teaspoonful
salt; mix and pound with hatchet or
hammer until very light, and bake in a
quick oven; wood fire is the best.
Success depends upon the pounding or
beating, which should be continued
until the dough is crisp and light
enough to snap when pulled apart.
Above will make about thirty biscuits.
