Learned men have written
much of the Talmud, an old
work of the Hebrew laws, ira
ditions and commentaries. The
Encyclopaedia Britannica thus
renders the Talmud's history of
Adam with its legendary adorn-
ments: "He was made as a |
man-woman out OF dust collect
ed from every part of the earth, |
his head reached to heaven, and
the splendor of his face sur
passed the sun. The very an
gels feared him, and all crea-
lures fastened to pay him de-
votion. The Lord, in order to
display his power before the
angels, caused a deep sleep to
fall upon him, took away some
thing from all his members, and,
when he awoke, commanded
the parts that had been re-
moved to be dispersed over the
globe, that the whole earth
might be inhabited by his seed.
Thus Adam lost his size but not
his completeness. His first
wife was Lilith, mother of the 4
demons. But she flew away

Lord created Eve from his

Scientific Miscellany.

From observations Of the

Prof. Alexander finds evidence
of the existence of some envel-
ope, like an atmosphere, on the
moon. The explanations usu-
ally offered for the ruddy band
of light seen around the lunar
disc during ecllpses he consid-
ers inadequate. This bright
band can best be accounted for
by supposing an atmosphere to
the moon-a thin remnant of
ancient nebulosity, comparable
to that, which accompanies the
earth and gives rise to the ap-
pearance of the aurora borealis.

THE BOoHER TRIAL.

II the Gold Hill News is correct, it
seems that the o%verhauling Of teacher
Booher in Virginia City has been a tenn!
pest in a teapot. He was charged with
having instructed his class, shortly after
the death Of Garfield, that the people lost
nothing thereby, as he was "robber and
n thief" 1t turns out that he not only
never used such words but that he never
instructed his pupils in history in any
such way; that the lot, in a debating So
ciety Of his boys and girls, fell to him to
discuss the question, Whether the
country had suffered an irreparable loss
in the death of President Garfield" He
did not select the question for debate,
nor did he choose his side Of the argu-
ment. Having the negative OF the ques-
tion to maintain, he e~ndeavored to make
the best of it, and did refer to the Credit
Mobilier and to the De Golyer swindles,
and to Garield's reputed connection
Herewith. And though all this just
now comes to the surface, it happened
some three or four months sago. The
result OF the investigation will degrade
Mr.. Booher in the estimation OF his
school and his usefulness be greatly i'm
paired. His pupils will not be likely to
retain their respect for him-which Is
necessary to their successful tuition
after listening to all the abuse he has
had to put up with. The good OF the
schools, it does seem, will never be a
sufficient consideration to restrain some
mischief makers from vicious attacks
upon teachers. These fellows ought to

The Anti-POIygamy Bill Under
Discussion.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The Senate this
afternoon took up the Anti Polygamy bill
to amend section 5,342 Of the revised
statutes In reference to bigamy, and for
other purposes, and the amendments pro-
posed by the Committee on the Judiciary
| were read and agreed to up to the fifth
section, which authorizes the President to
| grant amnesty to all classes of offenders
| guilty before the passage of the Act OF
bigamy, ~polygamy, or unlawful cohabita-

it was adopted. Other amendments were
discussed, when the session closed. with
the understanding that the measure should

REPUBLICAN CONSISTENCY.

The Republicans are unanimous in ia
yor of admitting Southern Dakota and
Washington Territory into the Union.
They need the accession to the Senate
that this measure will give them. They
are tired of the Malone majority and
want to get him off their shoulders. So
far SO good; but why do they prick up
their ears when the proposition is made
to admit New Mexico into the sister
hood of States =? The reason, of course,
is evident. They apprehend that New
Mexico would elect Democratic United
States Senators and Representatives
(emphasis on the former); hence she
ought to be excluded. An bipartisan
opinion would be, if either of the two is
admitted, that New Mexico should have
the precedence. This Territory has
1854 inhabitants and Washington
Territory has but rs, 100. Yet, in the
face of these figures, the suggestion
comes from Republican quarters "to
make short work Of the attempt to ad-
NIT New Mexico into the Union as a
State" 1t is furthermore stated that
"the bare suggestion of q proposition SO
palpably absurd ought to convince Con-
gress that somewhere in the scheme
turks o disreputable job" 1t makes all
the difference in the world whose OK is
gored. New Mexico will receive the
political goad and her quietus take IN
til the Democrats come in, which will be
in the next administration. when even.
handed justice will be done everywhere
and to everybody.
