day last. The last few days of the
services at Lake Bluff were devoted to
the subject of temperance. Mrs. Will
lard, the distinguished temperance
lecturer, who is decided advocate of
prohibition and scouts the plan of
high license, addressed the closing
meeting. Her eloquence was listened
to by large audience of temperance
people, but she failed to satisfy ma
jority that prohibition was better
method of proceeding against the evil
than high license.

1t is said Governor Rusk expresses
the opinion, if Ex-Governor Fairchild
were put in nomination for the Presi-

majority of 10000. Very likely that
is true, but 10000 would do as much to
carry him into the Presidential chair
as ten times that number of votes.

served at most of the observatories in Eu-
rope but its brightness has been diminished
since the time of discovery, and is now only
about half what it was then, so that it is not
not likely to be visible during moonlight
nights, even with a powerful telescope. The
elements of the orbit have been calculated
by DR.. Oppenheim, of Berlin, from obserya-
tions made at Cambridge on Feb. 24th, at
kiel, on February Goth, and at Leipzig on
March 1st. BY these it appears that the
comet passed its perihelon on the 18th of
February, at the distance from the sun of
o.16 in terms of the earth's mean distance
its distance from the earth was least very
shortly after The time OF discovery. The elc
ments do not closely resemble those of any
comet which has been observed in previous
years.

why it is that they should be compelled to
increase the Malone fund by the forced
purchase Of a new set Of school books for

books they now have arc preferable to those
the Boss commands them to use. As the
money in the Treasury will not be paid to
those to whom il justly belongs, some of it
had better be spent in buying the new books
referred to, SO as to save parents two or
three dollars for every child they have in
the public schools. Such saving will be
a real blessing to them and, besides it will
reduce the amount in the Treasury, a con-
summation always to be desired, but pecu-

NEW CARrRfDGE.-An entirely novel cart.
ridge has recently been tried. According to the
inventor, the cartridge will not heat the gun. il

powder aud is much cheaper It will also cost
much less than metallic cartridges of guupowder
and will not be injured by water Its materials
and mode of preparation are secrets, but in nm.
pearance it is like paper pulp soaked in some ex.

The ball is attached to the end of the roll and tba
whole thing leaves the gun together, on the sky
rocket principle. 1t may be adapted to any gun.
and 1t to revoutionize the ordnance departments

inches thick. The ball passed entirely through
the log and two.inch plank behind it, and fiat
tened against stone wall. After firing twelve
rounds out of the same gun there was no apparent
heat and no fouling. more scientific and salts
