Venus, the Brilliant, She VIII Appear
in the February Sky.
Venus is a morning star, the brightest
and fairest Of the thrOng that grace the
morning sky. She rises now three hours
before the sun, shining with the serene
radiance that distinguishes her, and con-
tinues to be visible long after the lesser
stars have melted away. On the 10th, at
, o'clock in the morning, Venus reaches
her greatest western elOngatiOn. Here
her westward course ends. She is 46
degrees - minutes west of the sun.

were eye-witnesses of her rapid transit
have tangible point from which to COM

selves the inferior conjunction when Venus
passed between the earth and the sun, the
transit when passing over the suns disc,
she changed from an evening to morning
star, deserving the suns eastern side and
appearing upon his western side. Since
that time she has been moving westward,
rising earlier every morning, passing her
period of greatest brilliancy and turning
more of her Illuminated surface toward us.
On the 10th change occurs. She is
stationary for few days, and then COM

Noting General GOrdOn's railroad pro-
jects, the Hartford Times remarks:
General Gordon, GeOrgia's ex-senator,
seems to be full of business since his re-
turn from Europe He is projecting rail
roads i'm various directions in the South,
and this is one thing that the South greatly
needs. One project is a new line from Sa-
Vannah to New Orleans. Another is a
great through line from Georgia down the
entire length of Florida, to the southern
end of that great peninsula, connecting
by steamers with Key West, and connect
ing that island port directly by steamships
with Havana. For this road and its build

would make the gift principally grant of
Everglade lands which may or may not
be drained, before that time. by the COM
pany of Philadelphia spectators and
capitalists who have undertaken the job of
draining the Everglades Gen. GOrdOn's
idea evidently includes not only the gem
eral development of Florida, but a spe-
cial and rapid development of Key West.
That quiet little island town, whose door
steps and front yard, so to speak, are
washed bv the Gulf Stream, would, if this
scheme were carried out, be accessible TO
New York by rail in from fifty to sixty
hours, and quickly become great cOalmg
station, as well as commercial port.
The government would be expected to To-
cate there first class navy yard. Be
tween Key West and Havana the trip
could be made by steamer in about SIX
hours. In the proposed company there
are some English capitalists"

manager to be let alone. He could not
help admitting that if his concern was
compelled to do the work according to
the terms of the contract it would be
forced into bankruptcy, and this pitiful
plea had weight to prevent the commit
tee from telling the whole truth regard
ing the manner in which the state is
being robbed by a road agent printing
shop. Everybody knows that contract
is notof so much Importance as the man
ner in which it's terms are carried out.
The best contract that can be drawn may
be evaded and disregarded by dishon-
est contractor, while the worst may be
faithfully executed if the contractor is
honest. The trouble with the state
printing contract is that it is being dis
honestly fulfilled The work is done by
botch printers, who work for starvation
wages simply because they do not un-
derstand their business, and hence cant
not obtain employment in the regular
printing offices, Every artitice known
to the fraternity of bunko printers, to
which the Times belongs, is resorted to
for the purpose of increasing the amount
to be stolen from the treasury. AS the
Times is doing the work, it is not con-
tract buta confidence game, and instead
of being called the state printer the con-
cern should be called the state confidence
operator. If the legislature is desirous
of knowing the bottom facts, let.a COM
mittee be appointed, as the News sug-
gested at the outset, to inquire into the
manner in which the Times is doing the
public printing, The News will furnish
incontrovertible testimony showing just
how the state treasury is being robbed in

At a very refreshing season of revival
in one of the large railroad Genters, not
long ago, one of the pastors announced
that he would devote an evening to the
boys connected with the road, inviting
them all to be present, and promising
something that would be of interest to
them. The night came around and the
lads were on hand. Perhaps they did
not take much stock in emotional re-
ligion. but they were prepared to pay
respectful attention to anything that
might be said.
"Ring the bellW exclaimed the min
lister, plunging into his theme without
further introduction, hoping to-. please
his auditors by. continued reference to
their avocation. "Toot, toot, toot-toot!
Away we gop and he began to hop up
and down and stagger around the stage.
His imitation of car motion was infec-
tious, and the men bobbed around on
their seats.
1--WE are plunging along at,sixty miles
an hourW he roared.
The audience said nothing, but looked
at each other with raised eyebrows.
"There is nothing between us and
deathW continued the, clergymen. 1T
is station to which we are all bound!
Look out Hal That switch was open!
Now we are bound to eternal perditionI
There is no help for us We are" ...
But all he could see were assorted
sizes of legs disappearing through the
doors and windows. There was but one
man left in the audience, and he was
screwing at an imaginary brake with all
his strength. ...
MY friend" continued the pastor.
Jump, you dog-gone jackass" roared
the solitary brakeman. eff we've cut
the switch and hell's ahead, you want to
jump E.s
"But you, brother, but YOU" exclaimed
the clergyman, hoping to improve the
opportunity and impress one emotional
soul. ... ..

I've been brakeman ON this road for
twenty-one years, and I'm willing to lay

Referring to the occasion subsequently,
the clergyman, affirmed that he had
made his last effort at realistic sermon.

who is Dutch, she swallowed pancake

The News demand for an investiga-
ton into the Times printing steal, under
the contract let to this cheap concern by
ex-Secretary Meldrum, was the subject
of general discussion among members of
both branches of the legislature yester-
day. The charge made that the bills
were not being done according to con-
tract was closely hunted down by a
prominent member of the house, who
visited a practical printer in this city
with a view to ascertaining the exact
facts in the case.
"Well, what was the result?" said a
News reporter to the member above re-
ferred to.
Exactly as the News stated this morn
ing-the bill work is not being done ac-
cording to contract. There is a steal and
a cheat in this business which is scan
dalous. had the whole thing explained
to me, so that now I understand it per-
fectly."

II can't use the technical terms, but l
was shown by actual measurement that
the law was not being complied with in
regard to the spaces between the lines In
bill work. These spaces lack but the
merest fraction of being double the space
allowed by law. This fact was proven to
me beyond any doubt, and I will prove
it to you. Now here is a type or space
called English by the printer, and here
is still another one called double English.
Here is one of the Times bills done yes
terday. Please lay this type called
double English between the lines"
After the gentleman had done as re-
qnested, he said:

is more than double. Has all the work
so far been done in this way?" H. +.
