Deputy Coroner MESSENGER moved re-
Gently from IA Second avenue to $50 in
the same thoroughfare, says the New
York Times of the 18th inst. There is no
reason why his change Of residence should
be noted save for the interest it excited
and the crowd it drew. The crowd began
to gather when a cartman came down
the front steps Of the old residence with
a human skeleton under one arm and the
framework of a monkey under the
other. These were taken to the new
residence. The next trip the cartman
carried one end of the osseous structure
of horse, and an assistant carried the
other extremity. Dogs and cats all in
the same shadowy state, went over with
birds and beasts of other kinds. & live

The .'EvergIades'' Launched.

jacksonville Herald.
A large crowd of ladies and gentlemen
gathered at the shipyard yesterday after
noon to witness the launching of the new
steamboat Everglades, being built for
the DeBary-Baya Merchants Line by
Messrs. Drew, Hazeltine & Livingston.
The Everglades had been fully prepared.
as it was thought for the interesting
baptismal ceremony. She was decorated
with flags and bunting, propped up ON
ness, but when the hawsers were cut she
failed to slide into the river, notwith-
standing any amount of COaxing in the
way OF pushing, knocking, etc, by the
mechanics. Finally, the steam tug Oys
ter Boy, was brought into play, and a
very large rope hitched on to the stub
born hull. At the first jerk of the Oyster
Boy the rope parted and the steamer sat
complacently on the ways. Another
rope was secured and the Oyster Bov
pulled and tugged away at her. finally

at the docks.
The Everglades when finished viii be
one of the most commodious and smooth

built in Florida, and it is expected will
be finished and in complete running con-

The Rev. DR.. Deems, of the Church of
the Strangess. New York, preached a
very practical sermon on last Sunday
morning. 1t is a sermon whose deduc-
tons many people will be glad to take
to their Town churches with them to-
morrow. Here is the most striking pas
sage in it: "Now, boys and girls some
body has taught you that it is q very i'm
proper thing for you to sleep in church.
[ have great respect for nose teachers,
but let me tell you something. During
this hot weather you fix in the morning
to come to church, and when you get
there everything goes as usual, and by
and by when the sermon is about half
done you find yourselves feeling drowsy,
and it is hard work to keep your eyes
open. When you find yourselves in this
condition, go to sleep. l shan't blame
you for it; neither wilt the Lord. But
you mustn't make a noise while you
sleep; do it quietly. [ know there is one
little boy among you who makes a good
deal of noise. but he doscn't intend to DO
it. [ want to ASK the person who sits
next TO that boy to 'hunch' him little
when the noise begms-not hard enough
to wake him, but just to stop the noise
There are sometimes q few old people in
church who hear every sound while the
sermon IS going on, and these noises dis

with twelve more years of corrupt and

Springfield Republican.
The democrats to-day are intrusted
with the administration of three-fifths Of
the whole number OF states. For the
second time since the war they are in a
majority of thc national House Of Repre-
sentatives. The democratic policy upon
both occasions when they have been in
power in the house has been one Of CON
servatism and economy. During the De
riOd of financial issues, the democratic
party suffered to a greater extent than
the republican from the western craze
for reputation and imitation, but III =

cial measures the best men OF both par

Since these issues were measurabIy set

elf open to criticism more by its timidity
than by the exhibition of any other
quality. In the greatest test Of patriot

THE PLANET JUPITER.
The Brightest and Largest Star In the
Firnament.

Early in the evening, a brilliant star
comes looming above the Eastern hor-
lion. 1t is the brightest and largest
star in the armament, and Eliminates
the sky with its soft light, during the
whole night. This beaming star is
Jupiter, the Prince of Planets. He is
in the constellation Leo, east of its
leading brilliant Regulus.
But no help is needed to recognize
him;a glance at the heavens is suff-
Gent, for he so far surpasses the other
members of the starry throng, that he
is almost as readily known as the
moon.
He will rise earlier and increase in
radiance as the months roll on, reach
ing the eliminating point in January,
and continuing to be throughout the
winter the most conspicuous star in the
heavens.
Even a small telescope will bringhim
out as a very beau iful object, with his
quartet of NOON and his belts of
prismatic hues. In a powerful tele
scope, hei is beautiful beyond expression,
with his stately and majestic bearing.
The men of science will improve the
present favorable conditions for re-
newed study of tile Jovian disc. So
familiar are the features and so we'll
known the colors d the belts, that not
even the slightest change will escape
the scrutiny of pratticed observers who
make the study of this planet a
speciality. Not a favorable night will
be unimproved, not a spot or mark will
be undetected. Anything new on the
face of the planet will be as easily
noted as a pimple on the face of a
spots, riffs, and belts of changing form
and hue are the Jovian alphabet
through which we hold converse with
our distant brother.
Here we see the evidence of the
chaotic condition of the mighty sphere
and of its primeval fires yet un-
quenched by time. The famous red
spot gave a peep into the nucleus of
the planet through the bursting cloud
atmosphere. The change of form in
the belts, the new ones that spring
proofs of the tremendous currents and
fierce storms that agitate the encom-
passing clouds. They are the neces-
sary agents that in process of time will
cool down Jupiter's mighty mass, and
bring on, millions of ages hence, the
perfection of development that the
earth has already attained.-Youth's
