trict preached in the morning in the Bedford
avenue Reformed church, Brooklyn, E. D. Mr.
Smith incidentally said he had used his position
In Congress to make successful protest against
delivering the mails in Washington on SUNDAY.
He then spoke at length on the glory and per-
lection of the Christian church. At the close he
said: II have to make confession. used to
have habit OF indulging in wholesale denun-
citation of congressman and used to speak
OF Washington as sinful city; and the
title of Congressman was to me q synO-

Perhaps rich relations are almost as much Of
bore and bugbear, in their way, as poor ones
are generally conceded to be- Put your best
foot forward ever so wisely when he or she
comes to visit you, yet you are all the while
conscious that she knows it is your best foot.
and thinks it no great shakes; that she inward
ly compares your poverty with her superfuity,
and rather plumes herself upon it, as If it were
an Unborn grace of her own; misses her luxu-
ries at your ireside, and regards you as per-
son Of small account to be content with such
meager belongings. You are perhaps aware
that she tolerates you as a relative when other
wise she would have nothing to do with you.
and nothing in common with you, financially
speaking. When you walk out beside her you
feel the shabbiness Of your clothes, their lack OF
style-clOthes which, 1t may be, you never
in connection with style. You begin to feel as
If your manners, your ways OF thought, your
speech, and perhaps even your religion, were
provincial and behind the times. Your sense Of
fitness is violated by contact with her splendor,
and your companiOnship seems to be an anachrO-
nism. You belong to different worlds and at
mOspheres. Her money mas placed her en- rap
port with all the nineteenth century has to offer.
has enabled her to make the most Of every talent
and oppOrtunity-travel at home and abroad,
intercourse with the thinkers. Prosperity has
made her tolerant, culture has toned her en-
thusiasms, and you become presently ashamed
OF your own turbulent ones. You suspect her
of being characteress because her mind is SYM
metrcally developed. till presently you discover
that what you believed to be character in your
self is merely malformaton, neglect Of healthy
development Thus she becomes more or less
OF reproach to us; our egotism resents her
superiority; we feel as if sort of injustice had
been done U.S. But the rich relation is not al
ways 30 aggressivey perfect; this is only what
she might be. what she ought to be- what she is
occasionally. if she has not wrapped her talent
in napkin. But, like the rest of us. she has
habit of neglecting her opportunities, of de-
voting herself to surface decorations and &C
compshments, to selfish ease, to dress and show
and vanity. Travel only puffs her up, without
teaching her anything. She catches the shibbo-
leth of the literary and art world, and fancies
herself the very elect. In fact the rich and the
poor relation were not born to pull together;
neither can rightly estimate the drawbacks of
the other; and it is only as background, per-
haps, that either serves the other.

EXHIBITS AT BOSTON.
The New Industries.
From the Springfield Republican Letter.

From the Springfield Republican Letter.
The exhibits from the southern states fur
nish sufficient proof of their vast and rich re-
sources Of woods and ores. They are here,
chiefly through the enterprise Of various
southern railroad comprehensive Richmond
and Danville, the East Tennessee Virginia and
Georgia, the Norfolk and western, the Shenan-
doah Valley and the Georgia Pacific. These
displays include coal, iron and precious metals,
marble, granite and valuable stones, besides
specimen timbers, tobacco, cereals and cotton.
This is the first exhibition in which these pro-
ducts have figured. except in the Atlanta Ex-
position. The railroads and their branches
penetrate great area largely undeveloped,
and the ores and woods are shown with view
OF interesting capitalists in the new country.
The iron ore comes largely from the Honaker
mine In North Carolina, the Clifton and Limonite
In Alabama, and several mines in Wythe county,
Virginia. The lore Knob" region of North
Carolina and the mines at Ducktown, Tenn.
send rich specimens Of copper, manganese and
the rare crystalliZed manganese comes from
Georgia. Alabama Tennessee and North Caro-
lima contribute white and variegated marble,
friedrich clay and the yellow pottery clay from
Madison. There are specimens OF bituminOus
coal from famous veins along the Rome and
Dalton railroad line, and the display OF wood is
abundant and of rare interest, now that our
Northern forests are becoming exhausted.
Georgia pine, black walnut red cedar and hick-
DRY, cup oak cherry, Georgia birch and poplar.
white and yellow, ironwood, cypress, black To-
Gust, chinawood magnolia, Usage orange, red
and white bay-all these and other unnamed
varieties of timber are shown in boards and
blocks and sections of great trees. Then there
are shown ochre and barks for making sOmber
or brilliant dye stuffs; and many more products
of lesser commercial value, but OF real interest
to one who cares TO see how abundlantly Our
brethren below Mason and Dixons line are
furnished with things to work upon. The cot
ton exhibit Is not extensive, and more promi-
hence is given to the tobacco. You have al
ready had description of the great fort of
spun tobacco from the famous Richmond
navy" firm, with its arms and eagles, its
frowning batteries, its shot and shell and at
lacking men-Of-war. Beside this is display of
cigarette tObaccos from a famous southern
factory, and party OF, young women from the
factory were put at work in the building last
month, illustrating with def fingers the process

WHEN THE PLANETS SHINE.

From the Ptsburg Dispatch.
Venus is evening star and leads the suns
family of worlds throughout the month in size
beauty and serene aspect during her short stay
after sunset in the western sky. She is so far
south that we donOt see her under the most
favorable conditions, and she illustrates the fact
that the farther south planet is, the shorter is
her stay above the horizon. She is near enough
to her period Of greatest brilliancy to be easily
seen before sunset by those who know where to
look for her, and she is bright enough to cast q
perceptible shadow. No observer can look I'M
moved on the fairest of the stars as every clear
night she makes her appearance in the evening
Sky, nor can he fail to admire the charming
grace with which she retraces her steps toward
the sun. No object in the heavens is more
lovely than the planet Venus as she hangs from
the star-depthS, presenting picture never two
evenings alike, and never ceasing to call forth
the reverent admiration of the beholder. She
is now travelling from her greatest elOngation
to her interior conjunction pursuing her retro
grade course with flying feet.
She diversifies her course with the only i'm
pOrtant incident Of the month. On the 10TH at
3 O'Clock in the afternoon she is in close con-
junction with Alpha Scorpii, better known as
Antares. the familiar red star in the Scorpion.
At her nearest approach, she is only eight
minutes from the star. AS she will be visible
soon after that time, the opportunity for
observation will be unusually favorable The
planet and star, hanging side by side, will form
an interesting study for starseazers. The con-
trast in size between Venus when nearly at her
brightest and first magnitude star, and the
contrast between the red color Of Antares and
the soft golden hue of the planetare to be noted
as well as the exceeding beauty of the scene, the
actors appearing as soon as the short autumnal
twilight fades. Antares may be almost as easily
found as Venus being q brilliant red star east of
the planet 1t will be interesting also, to watch
the gradual approach of planet and star from
night to night until they meet and pass on the
celestial highway, for they come nearer together
than planet and star have done during the entire
year. The right ascension Of Venus is 18Th 26m
her declination is 30 49, south, and her diane
ter is 26" g.
Venus now sets not far from 7:15 o'clock in
the evening; at the end Of the month she sets

The Ret senator Jones Won

From the Denver (Colorado) Tribune
Early in Hayes administration Rosewater. of
the Omaha Bee, unearthed rotten ring at
Omaha that was rObbing the government by a
series Of land swindles. After having secured
sufficient evidence to convince the administra-
ton of the thefts and convict the thieves, Rose
water visited Hayes at Washington and laid the
matter before him. The President promised
that the ring should be Immediately cleaned
out Rosewater told Senator Jones the whole
story, congratulating himself at the same time
that his efforts would result in the speedy an
prehension of the swindlers. Nothing more
was thought about the trouble by the Senator
until, two years later, he met Rosewater in
Washington again. "Well. how is everything
in Nebraska, Rosewater?" said the Senator; II
suppose your millennium is come 2" "Busi-
ahem! WE'LL" "Here, have a cigar" said the
Senator, "and tell me all about it." Rosewater
lighted the cigar slowly. and then mysteriOusIy
invited the Senator into quiet corner. 'sDo
you remember that land-swindling scheme
years ago?" he commenced, Yes" replied the
Senator, knowing exactly what was coming.
"And YOU know he promised to clean those fell
lows out?" "Yes."' Swell, he has never done
it." Nothing strange about that; tell me
about the interview you had -, with him at the
q
straight "a it could be. When commenced to
enter into the details Of the steals, he went to
pigeon-hole iii his desk, took out scratch tab,
and then telling me to proceed wrote down
questions answers, names, and everything. I
was confident that he meant business. Now. I
am going to him again and ascertain why he has
not kept his promise" Suiting his action to
his words Rosewater braeed up to start tor the
White House. Nov see here, said the Sena-
tor quietly, 'that's pretty good cigar gave
you. isn't it? It cost me 2 shillings; q box OF
them Is worth S25. will bet you box, and
leave the bet to your decision: that If you don't
say anything abont your former interview
pigeon-hole write the same notes over again,
and never remember that you ever before made
complaint to him. This is taking the chance on
the pigeon-hole, but will make the bet"
Rosewseter agreed. Two hours later he entered
the Senator'S room with box of cigars under
his arm. ssWelf" said the Senator. "You
won.'

excitement and worry incident thereto. For
the past month his business has averaged nearly
a million barrels daily. and during the past five
years he has not been absent from the exchange
on business day. The strain was so great on
his mental faculties that they gave away. About
noon yesterday he left the exchange, went to
one Of the hotels, procured basket of lunch
and strolled out into the woods, telling the
party of whom he procured it to say nothing
about his getting it. During the afternoon his
bookkeeper became alarmed and telegraphed to
his home in Titusville to know if he had been
there. The reply was in the negative, but
stated he had written his wife. bidding her good
