An Enormous Telescope.

Russian astronomers expect shortly to
be the happy pOssessors of the largest
telescope in the world. The Observable
ry at Polkovo was founded in 1889 by
the Car Nicholas, and for n long time 1t
was furnished with the most powerful
instruments In existence. The Gar de-
sired that this institution should always
be supplied with the perfect means Of
taking observations, and that II should
never be allowed to be inferior to any
other astronomical station in the world.
OF late years the progress of science has
enabled England, France and the Uni
ted States TO outstrip Russia, and the re-
tractors Of the Western powers are SUI
perior to the great glass mt Polkovo,
which was at the time believed to be
unriyalled. The University of Virginia
has a telescope with an object glass 2Gi
inches in diameter and focal length OF
80 feet. The Washington Observatory
has n similar telescope, aud with the be-
quest or gin Of the California millioh-
aire, Mr.. Lick, that State will have q
still more powerful telescope In the
neighbOrhood Of san jose. According
ly, Ia 1873 the Russian Government de-
ciled TO realize tire wish of the Car
Nicholas, and to furnish the observatory
az POlkovo with n new instrument which
should be- more powerful than any other
In existence. The astronomer OTTO
Strive was authorized to draw upon The
treasury for whatever sum required, ana
the work was entrusted to the celebrated
American firm Of Alvin Clark, OF Cam
bridge, Mass, the makers Of the large
glasscs ut Chicago aud Washington
The grinding Of the new lens of Russia
has now been proceeding for II months,
and IL Is expected that by October It will
be ready to be submitted to the inspcc-
ton of the Russian astronomers. The
length of the Polkovo telescope will be
10 feet, and the diameter of the object
glass 30 Inches. II will be mounted up
on u lawn to the southwest Of the prin-
clpal building OF the observatory. II Is
estimated that this new lens will pracl-
cally bring the moon within distance
of - leagues from the earth.

\ brother OF Walsh, who was recently

as an accessory to the murder OF Constable
Kavanagh at Lcterfraci. The jury rec.
commended mercy on account Of the youth
of the prisoner. Judge lawson sentenced
him to be hanged on October Is, The ju.
~ also recommended Walsh to the mercy
Of the court because there was no positive
evidence, they said, that he had actually
ired the shots which caused kavanagh' 5
death. The prisoner was very violent and
shouted loudly that the Witnesses for the
prosecution had given false evidence
Judge Lawson said he would forward the
iury's recommendation 10 the proper quar-.
Ter, but he could hold out no hope to the
prisoner that it would be iavorably acted
upon. Walsh again became greatly eX.

GOV CULLOM,

The fact that Gov. Cullom is advertised
to make stump speech in this city on
Friday evening naturally raises the ques-
ton, what brings HIM here? Congressman
Cullen is in no danger, nor can anything
the Governor may say have much influence
or the result in this county, either as to
legislative candidates or local offices. The
truth however is, that Gov Cullom Is not
concerned about any local tickets, but is
making big state canvass in his own be-
half, to work up his boom" for the sue
censorship TO the seat of David Davis IN
the United States Senate. The contest,
among the republicans tor the attainment
of that prize is virtually narrowed down to
Cullom and Raum. The latter is the
present commissioner of internal revenue
at Washington, but finds his duties there
of so little account that he Is able TO spend
most of his time looking after his fences
in Illinois lie is conceded to be distinctly
and emrhatically the candidate of the dis
tillcrs and rectItiers Of the state, and his
candidacy Is for the purpose of securing
reduction of the whisky tax, and an Inded-
mite extension OF the bonded period. Gov.
Cullom, on the other hand, though in the
republican sense conservative" on the
whisky question, naturally stands squarely
opposed to that interest and is relentlessly
opposed by it in return. Thus while in re.
atty his mlssisn here on Friday evening
will be to enlist the temperance interest in
his behalf, 1t Will be curious to note how
adroi,ly, in the present republican fashion
of hypocrItically doglng that question, he
Will be able to make damaging speech
against Raum ard his whisky ring and
yet not even mention the subject of whisky
or temperance.
