What II Light Astronomer Saw on the

Yesterday a LIGHT astronomer paid visit to
Government Hill to see how his fellow aStrOn-
Omcrs were getting along with their prepara-
tiOnS for the transit of Venus.
He called first on Prof. HOlIzeau in charge of
the Belgian party. 1t being II NJ. the professor

fcssOr appeared in the waiting room IN few
minutes and welcomed his visitors. The con-

upon Il clear day all success hangs. The pro-
lessor hoped for good results, and that the To-
cality would prove true to its reputation for
fine, clear weather and justify the wisdom of

A Amicable settlement.

A few days ago an article appeared in the
LIGHT headed "Something like Fraud" re-
Aeing upon Mr. w. H. Barnetts action in the
sale Of tickets to two Englishman named Ro
berts. The tickets in question were not out
of date, but were cancelled by Col. P. Freer,
because they had been transferred from the
original purchasers to the Englishmen who
bought the tickets here. Whether such sales
are legitimate is disputed question, but it
seems only fair they should be, and one thing
is quite cear-such tickets are daily used on
both railroads. The tickets in question had
been left for sale on commission, and when
complaint was made by the English purchas.
ers, the proceeds of the sale had been paid
On the matter being properly placed before
him by the vicc-president of the Britt h Ass, :
citation, Mr.. Barnett at once agreed to to meet
the EngIishmen by paying one half of the pur-
chase money, although it was dead loss to
him, and declared that if the money had not
been paid over he would have refunded the
whole As far as Mr. Barnett is concerne ed
it does not appear that there was any fraud in
the transaction, and the Englishmen and the
vice president of the British Association are
quite satisfied with the arrangement.

"WHERE'S MY Clothes"
The Question Henry kaplan Wanted Mrs,
Mitchell to Answer Last Night.

Yesterday young blood of the city. Nr!cpt
Henry Haplan, was happy in the POSSESSION OF
an invitation to u private party. where he
hoped to meet a young lady, who had made an
impression unon his too susceptible ncdrt. and
AZ he walked from the store to his apartments
in Mrs MitchcllS boarding house on st. Mary >
street his mind was full of pleasant reNerieS
antcpatory of the pleasures of the night. Re
firing to his room he brushed and oiled his hair
and carefully laid the "crickcters mOlIStaChc"
that adOns his face and proceeded to the
wardrobe to attire himself in il brand-new suit
of clothes which had been purchased to IN ain
tain his reputation as Il city swell during the
Christmas festivals. Alas. for human hopes,
how vain are they. Throwing open the ward
robe door in fond anticipation of gazing upon
that handsome suit, and perhaps with some
consideration of what Il fine looking fellow h"
would be in them, ne was mortified to find the
wardrobe empty: Tn" new suit had vanished
like Aladdin's palace, and il quantity of other
clothing had disappeared with it.
"Mrs Mitchcli cried he in horror str ickon
tones, adjusting his attire, "whcrcs my
Clothes" But Mrs Mitchell could give no in
formation, and the only solution to the mySt"-
ry was that some sneak thief had clept into
the house and stolen them.

Only First Glass Goods Wanted.

can unfortunate error, frequently made by
American houses" says the Mexican Finan-
cier, sis the supposition that inferior goods
can be worked off in this 1.-THE Mexcan)
market, and hence they heve shown an incli-
nation to send such goods. The absurdi,y of
this idea is apparent to even a careless obser-
yer here. The finest goods find. here the
readiest market. The numerous wealthy and
thriving classes in Mexico purchase only the
finest wearing apparel imported from Paris,
and numberless stores are full of elegant arti-
Giles imported from the leading mercantile
and manufacturing centres of Europe. There
is an abundant market here to-day for first
class goods, but it is very questionable wheth-
er trashy articles can be sold at profit after
deducting expenses Of transportation, duties"

The select committee Of the Senate on the i'm
provement of the river front of Washington, after
a thorough examination OF the whole subject,
have unanimously concluded in favor of the Albert
Twining plan for the reclamation OF the flats.
That plan, adopted by the engineer commission,
was mainly that devised by the late Major Twin
ing. with some features recommended by Engineer
Albert, and in the judgment OF the committee 1t
meets all the requirements OF the case. It is, in
brief, to NIL the flats with clean earth, first ex
tending ''sea WALL along the river channel I'm
front of them, and to provide the low ground thus
filled with ample subSol drainage to keep it dry.
The land thus reclaimed to be converted into a
park, planted with trees, shrubbery and
grasses. The committee, not satisfied with their
own Judgment, took the opinions OF numerous
medical sanitary and scientific experts, all OF
whom approved this plan. The committee will
report bill, supported by an elaborate report,
very soon, and, backed as 1t is by the concurrent
favorable opinions of engineers, physicians and
sanitarians, there should be no room to doubt the
passage Of the measure. The Importance of reiiev-
ing the National Capital OF the baleful influence of
the flats has long been recognized and admitted
I'm Congress. Members OF both houses have gener-
ally agreed that the only thing necessary to
an appropriation for the reclamation of the flats
was TO present plan for the work which would
command confidence. The Senate committee will
submit a plan which has stood the test of the
closest scientific scrutiny. and it is to be hoped
that Congress will act promptly upon 1t, that the
work of reclaiming the flats may be commenced at
once.
