Paid a Bill.

A Detroit lawyer took in a new boy the other day. and as he had suffered to some extent from the depredations of the former one. he decided to try the new lads honesty at once. He there fore placed S15 in bills under welght on his desk and walked out without q word. Upon his return, half an hour later, the bills were gone and seventy five cents in silver had taken their place.
 Boy! when I stepped out to get a draft on London left $15 under this weightr'
 "Yes, sir"
 And now I find only seventy-fve centsr'
 ''Yes, sir, but you see you hadn't been gore five minutes when a man came in with bill against you of S14.- 25, and paid it. 1 guess the change is correct"
 "You-you paid bill?"
 "Yes, sir-there it is, all receipted. The man said it had slipped your mind for the last four years, and SO"
 He didn't get any further before he was rushed for the stairs. and he isn't in the law-business any more. Detroit Free Press.

He Would Lose in Pork.

An incident, related to illustrate the simple honesty of the natives of sister state who are represented as being peo- pie whose promise may always be re- lied upon, is as follows: ''In the rural portion of the state referred to there is a man who is an acknowledged leader in politics in his district, and among his followers is fellow who has con siderable influence with the hummer element The first mentioned man has among other worldly goods quite 3. number of hog. asss.z:ssssi :sssssii fiss alzer IelloNl used to shoot one of the DOT kels when ever he wanted soilla meat. because 1t.

The Egyptian Artillery.

It is impossible to state with any de- gree of>certainty how the forts were armed. but it is manifest that they were mainly defended by smooth-bore guns throwing solid spherical shot. The g. inch 12-ton muzzle-loaders which the Egyptians are known to possess have only velocity of 1,249 feet. and pene- tration of S.7 inches at 1000 wards. The English muzzle loaders of the same weight and calibre have, on the other hand, a velocity of APO feet. and peh- etration of 10.2 inches, under the sante condition; while our new g.2-inch B. n M. guns have velocity of 1,868 feetsS and penetration of 1S6 inches at 1000; yards. Some of the forts, it is true, evil dently mounted rified guns; but, wheth-l CT smooth-bored or riIled, they were of shorter range, and of considerable less energy, than the guns employed against them.

 One of the mest remarkable uses to which paper has been put of late years is the manufacture of sylonise ;t sub- stance which, at the will of the nlanl- facturer. may be made in imitation of horn, rubber, ivory. tortoise shell, am Der and evensglass. The uses to which zylonite< are adaptable are almost in-- finite, but perhaps the most extraordi- nary is the manufacture of cathedral windows. The discovery was made by an Englishman named Spills, about if teen years ago, but it was only about five years ago that q company was formed in London for its manufacture. Within the last two years q company has been formed here. fThe basis of zylonite is plain white tissue paper. made from cotton or cotton and linen rags. The paper being treated first with bath of sulphuric and other acids, undergoes a chemical change. The acid is then carefully washed out and the paper treated with another prepara- ton of alcohol and camphor. After this it assumes an appearance very much like parchment. It is then capa- ble of being worked upinto plates of any thickness, rendered almost perfect Y transparent. or given any of the brili-- ia,,t aolers.t ..,f .sfi f<tj-51

in an instant aroused the whole people The
 multitude continued to increase; dividing
 into troops, they secured the streets, burst
 open doors, searched every nook, every
 hiding place, and shouting Death to the
 French v smote them and slew them; while
 those too distant to strike added to the tu-
 mutt by their applause. The darkness Of
 night failed to arrest the slaughter, and it was resumed on the morrow more furiously than ever, nor did it cease at length because the thirst of vengeance was slaked, but because victims were wanting to appease it. Two thousand French perished in this first out break. Tradition relates that the sound of g word, like the shibboleth of the Hebrews, was the cruel test by which the French were distinguished in the massacre; and that if there were found suspicious or unknown person, he was compelled, with a sword at his throat, to pronounce the word 'Cicer,' and the slightest foreign accent WAS the sig nal of his death.
 ''Forgetful of their own character, and as if stricken by fate, the gallant warriors of France neither fled, nor united nor defend ed themselves they unsheathed their swords. and presented them to their assailants. i'm ploring, as if in emulation of each other, to be the first to die. Even the altars afforded no protection tears and prayers were alike unheeded neither old men, women nor in- fants were spared the ruthless avengers of the ruthless massacre Of Agosta where, in 1268. the ferocious William PEsteudard, French baron under Charles dAnjou, sacked the town and mercilessly butchered the in- habitants, so that not living soul was left, and which was desolate for many years after ward swore to root out the seed of the French oppressors throughout the whole of Sicily; and this VOW they cruelty fulfilled. The French were hunted down in the motn- tains and forests, assaulted and vanquished ia the castles, and pursued with such fury that, to those who had escaped from the hands of the Sicilians life became burden. and from the most impregnable fort resses, from the most remote hiding places, they gave themselves up into the hands of the people, who summoned them to die. 4 very few, aided either by their lives, and sought refuge in Messina. But the fate of William Porcelet merits etern- al remembrance. He was lord or governor of Calata6mi, and, amid the unbridled inioui- ty of his countrymen, was distinguished for justice and humanity. On the day ol ven- geance in the full flush of it's triumphant fury, the Palermitan host appeared at Calata- fmi, and not only spared the lives of Will liam and his family, but treated him with distinguished honor, and sent him back to Provence; a fact which goes far to prove that for the exeesses committed by the peo- pie ample provocation had not been want ing"

 At the naval observatory in Washington preparations are now making for observing the transit of Venus that occurs next De- cember Professor Hardness, in describing what is being done, said to the Boston Her 1Ld correspondent This is the last phe- nomenon of the sort which will occur until the year 2aO4, and, although opinions differ in regard to the importance and value of the possible result, yet the astronomers of the next century would not pardon us If Ee should fail to do everything in our power on this occasion The two transits of Venus occur about once in every l30 years The two are eight years apart, and then there comes an interval of 120 years or so. The last transit was in December, lsf They always occur in December or June. In 176I and l769 they occurred in June, and in 2004 and 2O12 they will occur in June Venus on these occasions will pass between us and the sun The first observation of transit or Venus was made by Jeremiah Horrocks. an Enelish curate about the middle of the seven teenth century Ho allowed his religious duties to interfere with his observations, but the record of them is valuable: Previous to the transit of 1874 we all thought that the observations which would be then obtained would give us the solar psrallas- We sup posed that 120 years ago the observers had poor instruments and failed for that reason. But when we went at 1t ourselves we got into the same difficulties they did. Now no one thinks that wo shall get the solar parallsx- That can only be obtained by careful watch ing of the secular perturbatlons Of the planets These are very slight, but they are continuous, and by summing them up after 400 or 800 years, astronomers will be able to ascsrtain exactly the size and weight of the sun's mass, and when that is learned they will be able to calculate exactly the distance of the sun from the earth. In lst+ the United States sent out eight observing par ties, and we shall send out eight more this time. But it happens that in this case the United States will furnish, perhaps, the best field for making the observations. and All or our observatories will aid Tn the work We shalI have four government parties in the United States, and shall send four to the southern hemisphere, one to take station near Good Hope, two near the southern extremity of South America and one in New Zealand We must have to complete our calculations two parties at the end of a very long base line at the beginning of the transit We will have a base line between here and the Cape of Good Hope during the transit, between here and the southern extremity of South America, and at the end between here and New Zealand We intend to devote our efforts, as before, largely to photography, although other countries do not attach es much importance as we do to this method Of observing the transit. We are now engaged in fitting up our instruments, for which an item of SiO 600 has been appropriated by Congress We have asked for <s5,0O0 in all to meet the expenses of the observations, and this will probably be appropriated ID the sundry civil bill.
