The Evening Star.

The planet Venus is now the bright par
ticular star of tl4e Western sky and for about
three w, eks.to come will present most
beautiful object in the telescope. 1t will be
remembered by our readers that Venus began
TO become visible in the West about tbs
middle of November last, her disc being
nearly .ound and very small, because
she was then in that part Of her orbit when
she is most distant from the Earth. Since
then she has been gradually creeping
around, till at the present time her splendor
is at It's maximum. A mathematical calcula-
tion will show that there is point when
what is lost in breadth of illuminated disc
is COMPENSATED for, and more, by Increase OF
appare.t diameter. This point in the cast
| of Venus is reached FIVE weeks before and
after the inferior conjunction, when She
presents an appearance similar co that o
the Moon about four day old. The change
IN the aspect of Venus, as seen in the SAM
telescope are represented in the accompany
ing diagram

MI EMORIAL DAY.

By Joseph Osborne, of Admiral s. f. DUPONT Post,
No.2 Department of Delaware, g. A. II,
What means this sad commotlon. Why that mourn
fui music, silent tread.
The deafening sound of musketry, reverberating
DER our dead;
These flowers prepared by loving hands, to strew
upon our comrades grave.
With stars and stripes to mark the spot OF those
who died our land to save?
All, yes this is Memorial Day; we meet with reyer-
ence and love
To pay the tributes that we owe while angels wit
ness from above,
Let not a comrades grave be found neglected, but
may loving hand
Some token of remembrance bring to decorate them
DER the land.
Why are they sacredT tears have told a mothers
noble son lies there;
With trembling lips she bade farewell: in weakness
sought for strength in prayer
And many suppliapt prayer to God throughout
the land OF loving ties;
Those mothers, sisters wives,can neer forget those
mounds where loved ones lies.
Beneath these mounds lie ieslumbering our comrades
'---w VINO; with duty's call.
Responded babe farewell to home and loved ones,
sacrificed them all;
Such true devotion knew no teafi content with
nought but Liberty,
They fought the fight, the victory won and saved
the old flag of the free,
Comrades, the flag we fought to save doth wave in
triumph DER the land;
Defantly we faced the foe, tho comrades fell on
every hand,
But deeds undying will remain emblazoned on his
toric pdge,
Heroic deeds of those that fell victim to rebellious
rage,
These tokens of remembrance will cease when COM
rades cease to be.
And each Memorial Day impresses this one
thought indelibly,
We comrades, too, must pass away; our pilgrimage
viii soon be DER,
The messenger will summon us to join our com
rades gone before.
God of the Universe, to Thee our debt of gratitude
IS due,
Through danger seen and unseen twas thy loving
kindness led us through;
The dear old flag our grandsires gave their blood q
ransom defence,
Thank God some sacrifice we made, to save for gen
ations hence.

A New Fertilizer,

A new and valuable source of agricultural
manure has just been opened up on an island
on the coast of Brazil. A consignment Of
1870 tons recently received by British firm
yielded on analysis from so to 80 per cent. of
phosphate and from to ST per cent. of
ammonia-both important ingredients in
artificial manures. The consignment is
made up of the bones of whales, walruses,
sea-lions, and other marine monsters, and
was shipped as a speculation from one of the
islands in the Brazils, which hGs for many
years served as an abattoir for the whale
and similar fleets trading in that part of the
world. Upon this island hundreds of toms
| of mammoth bones are to be found. The
value of this unique raw material as fer
tilizer is indeed said to be superior to that
furnished by the skeletons of other animals.
The bones present strange sight, resem-
bling logs of white timber. Some of them
weigh p tons each each, end before being
shipped measured Gift. long. They had,
however, to be sawn into three to allow OF
their easy transport. The propellors, or fin
bones, measure in some cases 5ft. Gin. from
point to point. Bones of such enormous
dimensions can only be treated by one
method for their reduction. One part Of the
process is to soften them by super-heated
steam, after which they are broken up by
machinery, and finally ground into powder
and mixed with other bone lnanures. 1t is
likely that the experiment of exporting thiI
wonderful raw material from the Brazils viii
be repeated.

ART NOTES.

The artists are afeld and the 5tldios are
almost deserted.
Clawson S. .Hammitt had his GLASS ont last
week ON the Brandywine above Bancroits
Mills. Some of the sketches are very prom
isiug.
By the way, has any amateur sketcher Of
our township ever known what it Is TO start
out for days sketching, as full of good
resolutions as seven-cent sugar is of sand,
and then return without a line drawn or a
tint laid IMP There is such thing III art as
the emJdrras de richesses. A man starts out
with his mind active but his purpose weak;
he sees host of beauties, wanders from one
to the other and returns with nothing.
He will draw them some other day, he says.
Some other day generally means next win
ter, when the leaves and the tnts are gone,
and nought remains but regrets and good
intentions. Have you ever been there, bro
th6r?
The only remedy is to select some subject,
some pet nook or picturesque rock, go to it;
sit down before it and draw it, looking
neither to the right nor to the left; sketching
on till the scene has photographed itself on
the mind You can then finish your work
in the winter if you will.
There is a great diversity of opinion and
practice among artists about materials foT
sketching from nature. Of course if colol
is the chief object, oil or water co!ors are
essential, unless you can use pastel, which
in our way Of thinking, is the cleanest, quick
est, best and cheapest. You have no bother
with tubes, dirty rags, oil and turpentine;no
mixing of tints with palette knife; no
waiting for tints to dry; no cups of water
stopping over as in water colors; no dirty
pans and smudgy brushes. With half a
dozen pastels, sheet of Whatman's rough
paper and dlligent use of your fingers or a
stump, you can accomplish most anything.
and in half the time required in any other
method. Charcoal and Cuntc crayons have
the same merits, where color is no object.
For outline sketching give us before any
thing a little printers ink thinncd with tui-
pentine, and used with IA pen on moderately
smooth paper or card board. All the effect
Of an etching may be obtained IN this way.
Besides it is SO handy. You may carry a
tiny phial Of the ink in your vest pocket; a
gold pen ditto; and your sketches, II small
may be made on the back of visiting card
But it is always well to make every sketch
as large as possible. Raphael's cartoons were
twelve feet in diameter, and his Smallest

for years past have set the law at defiance in
this community. 1t would not take many
such raids to clear out the entire block;
which to the initiated is well-kEown to be
honey-combed with passages and communi-
cations from house to house-the obvious
purpose of which is to facilitate the dispatch
of the vile business in which the pa irons of
the various establishments engage with such
zeal and profit.
And here it suggests itselfwith irresistible
potency that the police authorities are ham
pered in their movements by tile cTdSSd
0,Oles Of Democratic necessity. They may
b ring offenders before the bar Of justice but
it is with the full knowledge that able coun-
sci will be engaged to defend the accused, AT
any expense, by the Whisky Ring and the
pernicious old style politicians, who believe
that when Rum is threatened it is time for
Democracy to stand to arms. The tragedy
on Water Street, which resulted in the
arrest o tthe pugilist McCuliom is but ole
of many atrocities which have been perpet-
rated in the same section of the city. No
wonder that such deeds are done, when a
5 republican Chief of Police has been found to
accept favors and gifts ilomr rat killing, thiev'
ing scoundels on the one hand, and Demo
cratic court of justice only too easily induced
, by a Democratic lawyer to discharge often
o ders caught fagrdate delictu on the other
But now that we have fatal assault prov
against men flequenting these vile dens;noV
g that we have the leading factory owners o
:. the city implnring that the licensing of sucl
: dens shall be stopped, let us hope that
1t between the good sense Of the licensing jus
s t:ces and the efforts Of an honest and trust
worthy Chief of Police We shall soon see tn
n cleaning cut of the sinks Of iniquity alop
the length and breadth of Water street.

STREET LIGHTING,

| The Anoux Electric Light Company of
this city, has now fairly grappled with the
problem of cheaply and efficiently lighting
our main thoroughfares, public build
ings and stores, and the next question is
whether the system shall be further extend
ed through the city. We are decidedly of
the opinion that the Company have deserved
well Of the public, and most certainly we
deem that the latter are entitled to better
illumination of the thoroughfares East and
West of Market Street than is at presenC
afforded by the ftful and feeble flicker of
the gas lamps.
The spirit and enterprise of community
is largely indicated by the condition of the
streets at night and Judged by this standard,
Wilmington is away down the list. The
gas lamps are like angels visits, few and far
between; many of them are not lighted at
all, until some volunteer small boy ascends
the post, strikes a match and performs the
duty: while it is by no means rare occur
ance to see street lamp burning at broad
monday, owing to the neglect of the respon-
sible parties to turn of the gas. But even if
all the street LAMPS in the Eastern and Wes-
teIn sections of the city were properly regu-
lated and lighted, there would not be such
Illuminating facilities as could be much
more easily and quite as cheaply obtained
by the use of the electric light. -.
Probably the best plan of distributing these
lights would be TO place them on high poles
at the intersection of the principal streets,
and to place over each light concave Iefiec-
tor to distribute the beams as widely as pos
sible. OF course the objection would arise
that the multiplication of poles for electric
wires is great and growing evil, but means
might be adopted in this instance for placing
the poles in such position as to create the
the minimum amount of obstruction con-
sisten. with efficiency. Not only this, but
there is no doubt that many of the of exis-
ting poles might be utilized and the lights
be suspended across the street, as is done in
lower Market street at the present time.
When we look at the contrast between
Market street and the Western thorough
fares of this city, we are painfully reminded
of the contrast between civilization and
semi-barbarism. We know that even hun
dred years ago our ancestors passed their
nights in sort Of darkness visible; in rooms
lighted by solitary sinking, sputtering
tallow or dip candle, while-not mueh fur
ther back cressets, braziers and link boys
collectively represented the illuminating re-
sources of the streets. Our by-streets are
