Kinder Looking Round.

A few days ago a middle-aged gentle.
man, who formerly lived in this city, re-
turned after an absence of two years,
and in duty bound called upon a num-
Der of his former acquaintance. He
stepped into the store of a well-known
trader and was familiarIy and cordially
greeted, and after a short chat he said:
= have met with sad bereavement
lately" ''Indeed! what has been your
trouble?" asked the trader. 81 have
lost my wife," replied the poor man;
she died about ten days ago. Here is
an obituary which the editor of the
Blank wrote and he pulled from his
pocket a newspaper, and unfolding it,
pointed to a veritable obituary. u
added a few lines" he continued, for
she was a good woman, and Smith 5
obituary does her no more than justice.
Il presume you are right, said the
trader, land the loss of ones wife is in
deed bereavement. You have the
sympathy, undoubtedly, of all your
friends. ''Yes, but it is poor consola-
ton, after all, y said the widower, with
a solemn Visage. Finally the subject
was changed to one of more cheerful
character, and after a few moments talk
the trader said: " But what, may / ask.

The Recent Aurocal Display.

The magnificent auroral display OF
Sunday night, which was seen over a
large part of the continent, has scarcely
a parallel in the history of the oldest in
habitant. Nearer the poles there is not
seldom a gorgeous display of auroral
grandeur; but in this climate one seldom
sees anything of the kind which more
nearly resembles that of Sunday night
than the shadow resembles the object
that casts it. We certainly have not
had one so grand since the great fire.
The question was asked yesterday by
thousands: "What is it?' Physicists
have found it difficult to define or ex-
plain. But they now generally agree
that the aurora is an electrical phenom-
enon. That this is correct receives
positive proof from the disturbances in
the lines of telegraphic communication
during the display. In some cases the
wires actually worked without the aid
of the usual batteries, and even reversed
their action. The electricians state that
it was the greatest electrical storm ex-
perienced in many years, and the great
est ever known unaccompaniedb by other
storm.
Probably the most interesting point
in connection with the aurora is the
growing gertrude that it is closely
associated with the phenomena of solar
eruption. The aurOras are known to be
most frequent and most brilliant when
the SUMS surface is most violently
agitated; and it seems probable that the
storm on the sun causes the electrical
storm here, of which the aurora is one
form of Manifestation. 1t is well known
that we are now near the maximum point
in the eleven Gid year cycle of sun.
spot activity, the spots being now large
and numerous. 1t is not at present
known that there was any particular
spasm of activity on the solar surface
during last Sunday. Prof. Young, of
Princeton, did not make any special OBJ
servation of the sun on that dav. The
big telescope of the Dearborn Observa-
tory was turned upon him, but did not
show anything widely different from the
appearance of short time previously.
There was. however, ample time for a
storm to brew on the sun during the
twelve hours that elapsed between the
observation and the display
The aurora testifies rather forcibly
to the existence of an atmosphere

book writers. The display of
Sunday night could scarcely have
been observed as it was had it not ex-
tended at least $50 miles above the
earth surface; and it is scarcely pos
sible to conceive that the phenomenon
is not one of electrical excitatiOn

A DESTRUCTIVE storm swept through
Mason and Lewis Counties, KY, the other

persons were injured.
FIVE cOnvicts in the Quebec Peniten-

shot in the struggle which ensued.

Smith, near Fairview, KY, the other day,
and Bradford used his pistol with fatal ef-
feet. Ohlcers and citizens pursued the
slayer to his residence, where they found
large quantity OF stolen goods. The broth
ers were arrested and taken to BrookviIle
