THE director of the observatory at Milan
sets ahoat anew the discussion as to whether
the planets are inhabited or not This as
tronomer, signor Schiaparelli, keeps his
eyes particularly on Mars. In lS77-o he dis-
covered the many dusky bands which trav-
erse and subdivids the ruddy portions OF the
orb, and in 1880 he again identified them;
but when he found them again in February
of the present year, he found them under
more favorable circumstances than before
and mapped out, in moro than 20 instances,
Implications Of the dark lines covering the
equatorial region of Mars with mysterious
network to which there is nothing even re-
motely analogous on this earth. Signor
SchiapareIi believes them 10 be canals, as
they have the appearance Of long seaways
dug through the continents of tho planet.
So it is not only possible that Mars has IN
habitants, but that the inhabitants have DE
Lessepses of their own.

Mrs. Jesse James has been giving some affect
ing particulars about her husband and her
married lfe She is the daughter of "highly
respectable parents" and was engaged to Mr..
James Just after he had been "outlawed in
1869, and price set on his person" Tho en-
gagement lasted five years, and she used in this
interval to see her lover only occasionally, whom
he could get away from his business, some
times at her fathers, somtimss at his mothers.
Their intercourse, however, although carried
on in the houses OF their respective parents
was attended with difficulty, owing to the po-
lice, who were constantly trying to be present
at their interviews. On one occasion, Jesse,
while the detectives we're searching the house,
lay under = rossbush near the door, while the
lady was hidden in fence corner. Often az
forwards, in talking OF this golden time, the
bright the happy, the Rnforgottsn, he used to
say that if he had killed couple OF them it
woald have saved his step-brothsr's life and
his mothers arm; but he did not shoot, fearing
the loved one behind the fence might get hurt

James did not take complete rest during the
honeymoon, bat went back to work. They
consequently had to move, and then came
their first parting sad ons in all lives, probs-
bly, unusualy sad In theirs. The young wife

THE New York World comes in with
list Of clubs in that city, at which good men
are wont to spend their evenings. The old
est of these is the Union club, for joining
which invitations were sent out June 30,
1886. The leading idea was, apparently, to
provide place where quiet dinners could be
had, each man paying for what he ordered.
The most expensive dish on the bill of fare
at that day was roast duck at two-and-six-
pence, or 81 cents. Some of the young
bloods finding the Union rather too conserv-
ative got up a secession in 1845 and organ
ICED the New York club, now called the Old
New York Club, which soon became famous
for its suppers 1t occupies one of the finest
locations in the city and has French cook
who is rather more important parsonage
than President of the United States. The
Century club from its beginning in 1S47 has
been mainly composed of artists, and ltera-
ry, scientific and professional men. At first
1t had 100 members, from which fact it de-
rived its name. 1t now has 600, which is
the limit The club is sometimes called old
fogy," for it allows no card playing and has
no restaurant or bar. The Union League
club, organized in 1868, is in some sort a
child of the sanitary commission, has grown
te great proportions. 1t has resident MEM
bership of nearly 1900 persons, and owns
the building it occupies, of which the fur
nishing cost -$125, 900. The Manhattan club
was got up by war Democrats, who were
not content that the Union League should
absorb all the patriotism, and had John Van
Buren, for its first President. 1t aims to
keep out of city politics, but takes hand in
State and national elections. The American
jockey club, as its name indicates, chiefly
interests itself in racing, and the Turf club
keeps it company. The Merchants, estab-
lished in 1871, is made up largely ct dry
goods merchants, grocers and Wall street
men. The st. Nicholas was formed in 1875,
and no one is permitted to join without
certified pedigree, showing descent direct
from natives or residents of the city who
came to the country prior to 17S5. The
membership is limited to 400, and various
old festivals are religiously kept up. The
Downtown association, incorporated in
1860, has library, reading room and art
gallery, with a membership limited to 500.
The Lotos, organized in March, 1870, was
the outgrowth of the meetings of ten or
dozen literary men in the old Leader office.
1t has given dinners to many noted literary
and scientific men, including Charles Kings
ley, Richard A. Proctor and Bayard Taylor.
The Knickerbocker club, many of whose
members are connected with the Coaching
club, was started in 1872, the University
club in 1865, the Harmonic club (German)
in 1852 and the Calumet--purely social and
the youngest of all-in 1880.

The Hawaiian Reciprocity Treaty.

\ 11O AASe w tlllct4 AuCSLRlS SOAVy = OS'SJ"
A committee of the New York Maritime
Exchange has been considering the subject
of the repeal of the reciprocity treaty with
the Hawaiian Islands. Their inquiries re-
vealed the fact that the treaty had not only
caused loss of two and half million dol
lars per year in revenue to the Government,
which will be increased still further, as the
importations of Sandwich Island sugars have
increased from II, 400. 900 pounds in 1876 to
rs, 100000 pounds in 1SS1-but also that the
most fragrant frauds had been perpetrated
under the treaty. Sugars grown in the East
Indies, which were subject to an average
duty of 2a cents per pound, have been i'm
ported free into our Pacific ports as Sand
wch Island products, after passing through
manipulation there by American speculators.
The subject is of grave Importance, mas
much as raw sugars grown in France, Ger
many and other nations entitled to the bene-
fits of the "most favored nations" clause in
their treaties with this country, may de-
mand admission on the same terms as the
high grade semi-refned sugars imported IN
der the Hawaiian treaty. The committee
declare that the treaty ought to be repealed
because it is an entire failure in its effect so
far as any benefits to this co untry are con-
cerned; that it discriminates against other
friendly nations which are larger consum-
ers Of our products than the Hawaiian ISL
ands are; and because gross frauds are con
stantly practced under it, The National
Board of Trade, at its meeting in Washing
ton, in January, adopted resolutions to be
submitted to Congress, asking for repeal OF
the treaty. We reprint the declaratory reso-
luton:
At the time Of proclaiming this treaty
the growth of sugar from the Hawallaa
Islands only amounted to some 6,0OOUv5Uo
peands, now it amounts to over o0,0O0,UOo
