The Planet of Jupiter.
New York sun.

In these fine evenings of early June the amateur astronomers should not neglect ,he opportunity. which will soon be gone, of studying the only conspicuous plane, now visible in the evening sky, the sian, Jupiter. Jupiter is now getting so low 1T! the west, and so near the sun, ,ha, his image in the telescope IS apt to be lit- tie indis,ine,, bu, with a good glass, that ~ill bear magniHing power of 200 or 800 diamaters, Jupiter is still splendid phenomenon. His rosy belts and equa- ,ofia clouds and the constantly changing aspect of satellite system never cease 10 be interesting, and whoever has seen them once is sure 10 wish to see them again, as often he can. One of the great charms of teleseopic view of Jupiter IS the visible motion of the planet and his moons. In a single evening one can see the huge globe roll half way over on its axis. the time of a whole rotation being only ten hours, and can witness the pass age of the round black shadow of one of the moons across the face ofthe planet, or the disappearance of another, moon IS II goes behind the plane, or IS eclipsed in the great cone of shadow which Jupiter throws far away into space behind him. Ii IS difficult for one no, accustomed to astronomical observations to comprehend the fac, that those little shining globes which he sees moving so silently and smoothly in their orbits are actually worlds in size. and that they are removed hundreds of thousands of miles from the great planet around which they circle. If. as most astronomers be- lleve, Jupiter has not yet cooled down into habitable globe, he is, in some respects ali the more interesting to us on that account; for if he were an inhabit- ed globe, no telescope man could make or their works to us, and the very fact that he was in such condition as to SUD- DOT, inhabitants would preclude the pos siblli,y of any physical changes which could be seen at the distance of four or i've hundred million miles Bu, on the other hand, if. as is believed, Jupiter is yet in very early stage of world growth, then the inhabitants of this earth can continue to watch with telescopes. as they have been doing for the last two hundred years. the changes of appearance which he undergoes. In other words, they can behold part of geological development, of distant world. and, if the human race could exis, long enough and could hand down its records unbroken from age Ia age. Il might at las, lave a com pete history, based on actual observa- ,ions. ot the growth of Jupiter from globe of gaseous or fluid matter to a solid and hahi,ahle world like our own.

And thus they go forth, whether as preacher or layman, under the pre- sumption that they are better than other men and thus relying upon false prop, the first thing they know they are lying prostra,e in humiliation and degradation, IS much lower than the ordinary sinner as they vainly assumed to be higher and better.

The firs, Judge Lyme n.

K. ]. Barlr,tc n Philadelphia l,mes
 il ls said by some vcracioas author i,ieS whose names have forgotten be- eause l never knew them, tha, on the ancient council books of Galway. lteiand. 1t iS duly recorded that in the year of our Lord LIDS James Lynch. Mayor oi Galway, hanged his own son ou, oi the window for detrauding and killing s,ran- gers without marshal or common law. to show good example to posterity.'
 It seems. from the chronicle, that young Lynch had been sen, 10 Spain by his father. the mayor. to purchase cargo of the wine that biteth like log wood and s,inge,h like an adder when Il give,h its dye color alright in the cup. But the young man wasted his substance in riot ous living and fared sumptuously three times day and four or five times night, and spen, all his money at the bar and in the faro-room before he bought his cargo. Howevor his rating was good and he loaded his ship on short credit, thirty. sixty and ninety days, fifteen of, and sailed loyously for home, intending to oea, the slate and say nothing 10 his father abou, the paper. But the credi, man of the concern did not exactly like the looks of things and sent his nephew along to collect the money in Galway. Seeing tha, the nephew's presence would probably cause a coolpess in the family circle as soon as he presented his state ment, young Lynch expedited mat ,ers by tossing the Spaniard into the loud sounding sea and then sailed loyfully on in m overwhelming moral horizon and intellectual sky tha, was infinitely cloud less.
 Blu, one of the sailors sometime after ward lay down to die, and when he was positively assured that he could not pos sioly live long enough to be hanged for his share in the transaction, told Mayor Lynch how his son had killed the Span iard. Tried before his own father, the young merchant was convicted and sem fenced to be hanged. The family and friends violently prevented the execution. whereupon the mayor took his son up- stairs, fastened staple to the wall. with his own hands adjusted the moose about the young mans neck, pushed him ont of window overlooking the public street and there hanged him in q manner and for reasons set forth in the record. Whenever you talk about Lynch law think of John Nitzstephens Lynch, mayor of Galway. who filed the first caveat for an invention generally supposed to be American.

How seldom we get an insight into the real nature of any public man. Matthew .Arbuckle, the eminent cornetist, was not ably kind-hearted and fond of children. well remember, at the time of the grea; Peace Jubilee. was one day or Washing ton street, when, attracted by the music of GIlmore's band, which was rehearsins in the building opposite Cour, avenue. made my way up to the band-room and knocked ,imidly on the door. Gilmore himself answered the rap, and invited me in 10 listen to the music. Arbuckie at once took me under his wing, gave me a seat.by his side, and allowed me 10 blow into his cornet: and when went away he followed me to the door and joined with Gilmore. vey heartily in urging me to come in whenever liked. A short time after. heard that mass rehearsal of brass bands was to be held at Fremont Temple, and went there al the appointed hour. The door-keeper refused me ad- mittance, and just as my eyes were be- coming moist, Arbucle came along, and taking in the situation a, glance, said :. Come in with me my little man. They shan't keep you out. expect to see you a srea, musician yet.' This kindness made an impression upon my childish heart, which l shall never forget The residents of my neishborhood, however, will regret that these occurrences laid the foundation for my present attempts to toot on cheap cornet. And t is sad to relate that at present indications Ar buckles prophecy is not likely to be real ized.- I'Mkss Blade.

Yesterday It was told around the streets
that lady who had Just arrived in the city
declared that she had s,en and oonyerssd
with Sam McColloch at Cambridge. The lady
referred to was Mrs. Caroline Lewis, former
resident OF this city, and IN inmate OF the
family Of the late A. N. Adams, hut now
married and living in Ohio about sixty miles
beyond Columbus. sha came to Wheeling
on the B. & o. road on Tuesday evening, To

yestigaing the rumor, found her yesterday.
Shs said bs the train lay at Cambridge she

was crowd OF men around him. She did
not look earthly, not having heard Of the
disappearance, and thought no mora OF 1t
until she arrived here, when she remarked 10
Mrs. Adams that she only saw one Wheeling
man on her journey, and that was Sam NC
Colloch. Wnen told Of Mr.. Co'loch's
strange disappearance, she at once concluded
that she had been mistaken.
This was but o natural conclusion. OF

tatued.
The usual number Of new theories and
rumors were circulated yesterday. A fact
which was known several days ago, but
has not heretofore been published, was taken
AZ basis for one OF these theories. On Sun
tlay night as Mr.. Schellhasc, the grocer at the
corner Of Market aud Eleventh streets, YVES
coming from church up Market street, and q
few minutes after he bad crossed the creek
bridge, he heard loud splash In the creek
He at once haslened back, but by the time
he reached the bridge no person was Visible,
nor could the object which caueed the splash
be seen, although Mr.. SchellhEse scanned the
creek closely. 1t WIS suggested that pots.bl
the missing clerk had been detained against
his will by persons who expected 10 get re.
ward, but that after the excitement OF Sun
day, they had thought best for their personal
safety to put their charge out OF the road.
This idea, however, does not seem at all
tenable.
A more terrible theory suggested yesterday
Is more easily disproved. This was that the
tramps already spoken OF In connection with
the case, might have disposed Of body Ell.
iectually by placing it iu one OF the burning
coke ovens at the Central Giass Works. The
fact that watchman is always on duty there
through the Light renders this theory unteE-
able.
The general public seemed yesterday TO be
settling down To the belief that the body OF
tse missing man would be found In the
river, whers II had been carried by the wa
ters OF the creek. Constable ST. Myers and
Officer Eugate yesterday traced the tramps
mentioned above beyond Washington, Pa,
where they were lost sight OF.

Friends Becoming Discouraged.

No progress was made yesterday III the
search for Samuel B. Mccolloch, the missing
Clerk OF the Circuit Court who disappeared
80 mysteriously five days ago, and the friends
OF the lost maa are we'll nigh discouraged.
The public interest in the case does not seem
to abate the least, and 1t was the principal
topic Of conversation yesterday about town.
Dr.. Baird, Mr.. Nc 'olloch's brother.in.
law, said Last night that he had no clue and
no information. He was as much In the dark
as no was on Saturday evening.
II was reported yesterday that two Pinket.
ton detectives were here working up the mat
ter, but there was no foundation for the re-
port. The city police and county officials,
as we'll rs the members OF the bar, have been
untiring in their efforts to lend assistance 70
the friends Of the missing man. So far their
efforts baye not been rewarded with even q
trace Of the object OF their search.
Cards with minute description OF McCol.
loch and photograph taken from a large
picture made several years ago were yester.
day mailed all over the country. They will
be especially useful II the theory Is correct
that Mr.. McColloch has wandered Oft under
the influence OF o sudden alteration or In
sane impulse. They may also aid In ident..
