sun on the list. lie is then in one OF
the three favorable positions for OBJ
servation as morning star that occur
during the year. He will be an in

and close ofthe month, reigning alone
as morning star, and lovely beyond
description as he heralds the suns APP

eleven degrees south of the sunrise

of the month he rises at . o'clock.

vanced on his western course when
twilight fades and he comes into view
Saturn sets now at half past 10 o'clock /;
at the close of the month he sets about
a quarter before 8 o'clock.
NEPTUNE
is evening star, following closely after
Saturn and bound for the same goal
! conjunction with the sun. lie passes
the meridian only twenty-three min
utes after Saturn. II his nearness
CORES ponded with his Dimensions. for
he is only exceeded in size by Jupiter
and Saturn, we should have great en-
joyment in watching his movements
as he threads his way between the two
great giants Of the system. But his
diameter Is not nearly half of that OF
Jupiter, and he is more than five
times as faranay. Neptune now sets
not far from Il o'clock in the evening;
at the close of the month he sets few
minutes after 8 o'clock.
JUPITER
is evening star. and, though still the
brightest Of the heavenly host, is less
ening in interest as his distance fIom
the earth increases. lie follows close
lv in the track Of his two brother
planets. passing the meridian about
twenty one minutes after Neptune.
He has lessened pereeplibly in size
and brightness, for his disk now
measures thirty-fve seconds, while
at opposition last November it meas
ured forty-seven seconds. Jupiter
sets at half past Il O'Clock.
MARS
is evening star, and diminishing in
interest as he travels on the long road
that leads to his next opposition in
January 1891. lie is, however,
beautiful member OF the starry throug
as looking down from the zenith in the
early evening he beams with ruddy
light and finds few rivals among the
fixed stars. Mars now sets a few
minutes after 3 o'clock in the morning.
Interesting objects for telescope
study will not be wanting during the
month. Uranus, through good tel
escope, will come into view As a small
fun moon, OF a delicate sea. green
tint, and two of his four moons may
be picked up. Venus. close to the
sun, takes on the gibbous phase Of
moon.
The heavens present n delightful
planetary picture during the month
OF March. Uranus, our far off bro
ther, reaches opposition and perihel
ION; Venus, at It's close, Will be seen
in the glowing west just after sunset;
Mercury will beam in the morning
light; Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will
move in their appointed course as
they approach the source of life and
light. Thus. the planets, as they
track their devious path among the
shining stars. not only illustrate with
them the amazing beauty of the star
lit heavens. but also lends its never
falling charm TO the science of as
tronomy.

be comes into opposition with the sun
and i numbered among The evening
stars. lie i then al his nearest point
TO the earth, the sun, the earth, and
Uranus being in a straight line, with
the earth in the center. At This time
he is seen opposite the sun in the
heavens. as the word opposition inn
plies, rising when the snn SETS, and
setting when the sun rises. a far
more important epoch than his oppO
sition occurs also during the month.
On the 10Th. he reaches his perhelion
or nearest point To the sun, and is the
second OF the four great planets to
reach tLis part Of his course. Jupiter
arrived at the goal in 1850, and Nep-
tune anu Saturn will take their turn
in the near future.
The occurrence Of the perihelia Of
the four giants OF the system within a
few years of each other is an event
that has not happened for many cen
turies, and will not be repeated for
many centuries to come.
Uranus was discovered by Herschel
in ISL, the centennial anniversary of
the discovery occurring last year. At
perihelion he is one hundred aid sixty
la lion miles nearer the sun than at
aphelion, and as his opposition and
perihelion are nearly co4ncident he is
just 50 much nearer the earth. Yet
such is his imnense distance that the
approach will be hardly perceptiblo in
appearance. Ii will be eighty four
years, the time OF his revolution, be-
fore the conditions are repeated, and
The present is, therefore, a favorable
time for beholling the fainte>t and
smallest of the visible planets. A
keen eyed observer will have no diff
Guilty in finding him ona clear, moon

star OF the sixth magnitude, and must
be looked for al Il line with Regulus,
the brilliant star in the handle Of the
Sickle, and forming n right analel
triangle with Regulus and Denebola,
bright star in the tail of Leo.
Uranus now rises at eleven minutes
after o'clock Mt the enh of the month
he sets ut eight minutes after O'Clock

last transit at the ascending node oc-
Cured in 1863; the next will occur in
2004.
When in 2004 the next transit Of
Venus after the coming one takes
place, no human being who now
treads the earth will be alive to see its
passage. Nearly four generations of
men will have lived and died before
the brightest of the stars again passes
between us and the sun when at one
OF her nodes. Observers will, there
fore, witness an event to be remem-
bered for lifetime, and, for this rea.
son, independent of its scientific i'm
portan.e, the phenomenon will be
eagerly anticipated. If astronomers
can agree in their calculations and
make the transit a means OF accurately
determining the suns distance, great
feat will be accomplished. For the
suns distance from the earth is the
unit or yardstiek for measuring ce-
lestial distances outside OF the solar
system, and on its accuracy the whole
celestial structure depends.
Venus will be prominent among
themes for Astronomical study during
the year. She will be far enough from
the sun to be picked up by careful
observers during the last part of the
month. She must be looked for about
three degrees north Of the sunset point,
aud soon afier sunset. She sets now
at eight minutes before o'clock,
few minutes after sunset, at the end Of
the month she sets about SIX minutes
after o'clock.

To The EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Dear Sir-l thank your Castinc CORRESPOND
ent for his courteous reference to my Thanks
giving sermon. But | am surprised thai he
should have mistaken my meaning in part.
That no State convention or assembled body OF
politicians would dare openly to allege as the
reason why they refused to endorse Presi-
dents administration, that he would not hand
over the State patronage to few of the leading
politicians therein goes without saving. This
would be dose too strong for a stalwart of
the Stalwarts. 1t would be political suicide.
D!sapproval Of Mr.. Hayes southern policy was
the alleged reason why endorsement was rcfuS-
ed, and this may have deceived some. But the
actual reason was the one stated in nv sermon
This so-calIed southern policy Of Mr. Havcs'
was not his. II was commenced by President
Grant towards the close of his administration.
and continued By his successor and the vote
thar elected Mr.. Garfield proves that it caused
no widespread dissatisfaction in the Republi-
can party, and our leaders did not disapproyc
of it. They attempted to Use it for political
purposes but failed. The people did not re-
spond TO the waving of the bloody shirt

Making Short Work of Il.

In the siege of Troy, Apollo encouraged the Tro-
jams to be valiant against the Greeks, by saying
1.-THE mighty Achilles does not fight to day" 1t
would seem as if Death had been bidding disease to
make its greatest inroads upon men, by saying
Hunts Remedy is out of the market" But the
Trojans found to their cost, that the mighty Achilles
came to the field, slew their greatest champions,
and made short work of the battle. And Hunts
Remedy, as an Achilles against kidney and liver
diseases, has taken the field, and is making short
work of all such ailments. Hundreds of testimo.
mails fl all quarters coming in to the might
of this champion medicine. Not surer was the
sword of Achilles than is this powerful, yet peace
full remedy, in battle form, it wages war against
dropsy, ur nary and kidney complaints, and over
comes. 1t is wise to call in its aid.

MINItRiOII, Dee. 49, lS>2.
EDITOR JOURNAL: When life of sefsacrifice
and usefulness terminates, something more than Il
passing notice wound seem appropriate Brief men
ton has been made in Your paper of the death Of
Miss Amra G. Trevett. With Your permission |
would like to add a further tribute to her memory.
Miss Trevett was born in Frankfort, and was tile
daughter OF the late Benjamin Irevett. Her mother
Mrs. Lucy Treyett, aged eighty three wears, is s. ill
living. In her earlier years Miss Trevert taught
school, and iii various other ways strove hard, and
succeeded, in supporting herself, and maintaining
an honorable position in society, and gathering
around her many fast friends. In the wear 1873
she Went to California, and lived i'll san Francisco
There, as in Maine She found friends. She was ac-
companieu by her niece, Miss Gertrude Btltman
whom she adopted when only wears of age
and to whom for twenty years she was faithful
so that now she Is an accomplished scholar and
musician.
In the fall of 1881, learning that her aged mother
WAS sick and not expected to live, he with her
niece returned to Maine ami cared for her mother
till failing health compelled her to renquish her
post of duty and seek medical aid for herself.
The fearful disease cancer rapidly developed ana
after submitting to several painful surgical opera
tons death came. and ended her useful ana some.
what eventful life, on the 4th of December.
Her greatest desire to live appeared to he the in
terest she felt for her 'tlc Gerty,' aa She called
her niece, who, through the protrCted and painful
sunering5 Of her aunt, had been her constant com
pani0n and nurse, thus returning as best she could
the care bestowed upon her in her years of child
Old, and Miss Butman, who is now tWentv-seven,
will after brief rest return to san Francisco
where she has friends anxious for her return. Of
Miss Trevett it he truthfuly said rs of one of
old, ">he has done what She could and it has been
well done. r. 4. r.
