Venus at Her Grentest BrIlliancy.
4


The earths twin sister, Venus, is now o
superb object in the heavens, shining with
surprising brilliancy in tho west as soon as
the sun disappears below the horizon. Tho
moon, approaching the full, scarcely dims the
luster of the fairest of the stars, and the giant
Jupiter, beaming family above her, is of no
account in comparison with his fair rival.
Our nearest celestial neighbor is in her best
estate, taking on tho brightest aspect she ever
assumes for terrestrial eyes. If we could
pierce the dense atmosphere that surrounds
her, and behold the star lit sky that arches
above her, n star Of surprising beauty would
attract our attention. This would be our
own earth, approaching opposition, and ap-
pearing under more favorable conditions from
this standpoint than Vonus is ever seGn in our
sky. For the earth is an outer planet as
observed from Venus, and, like Mars, Jupiter,
and Saturn in our sky, is visible when in
opposition throughout the night. Observers
on tho earth never see Venus much more
than three hours after sunset, or three hours
before sunrise. Observers on Venus can at
times behold the earth during the entire
night shining as she looks down from the
zenith, with peerless beauty on the midnight
sky, her luster undimmed by the twilight
glow, and her round. full fnce turned toward
hor neighbor planet, whose place snearer the
sun than her own.

A very old darky, whose wool was
turning white, stood at the door of q wornout
wooden house in Thompson street yesterday.
He was dressed in that FREQ summer costume
of tho Observation-Disclosures torn and
patched. every button on the vest Of different
pattern, and his frayed long ministerial coat
bore evidence of having been on u very
wild and very long good time" There
was ono article of his dress pure, and
that was his hat, an immaculate white one,
perched jauutily on his head like lady's
white handkerchief dropped in the mud of
tho street. The old man was leaning back
against the door. A long and strong cigar
was in his mouth. A dozen Of his neighbors
stood around open-mouthed and wide-oyed.
| There were two women in tho congregation,
both great brawny creatures with their
sleeves rolled up and their bright rod skirts
reaching to the tops of their boots. The
| first question was asked by the women. One
said "Foah heben sake Ike, whare did yer

"Won her." replied tho old man, at once
setting the gender Of his attire.
But how? Goly, Ike, she am daisyW

to give him room to spit, Use politician"
"Foah do Lud's sake" came tho chorus, II

No ono answered.

An AdmirOr OF Russell Sage Tells somo-
thing About the Dear Good Man.


Nci0 York Correspondence Albany Journal.
Many persons during the past few stirring
weeks have inquired, who is Russell Sage2"
Ho is about 65 years old, and came to this city
from Troy soon after the breaking out Of tho
war of the rebellion. He had started in life
in Troy as one of the poorest Of It's poor. He
"tended" little store for relative, earned
few dollars was sober, steady, and accom-
modating and while still young man went
into business for himself. Hard work and
persistency always tell, especially whom nc
COnpanied with sagacity and clear compro-
hension Of business possibilities. Before
many years Mr.. Sage was speculating in grain
and farmers produce in "a small way and was
making his mark among Troy's active busi-
ness mon. He went into politics rs an alder
man, then county treasurer, and next served
in congress for two torms As he mounted
upward his integrity, his strictness In dealing
with all men and his success in saving what
he made gave him prominent position and
made him power in local, political, and
mercantile circles,
Ho turned his attention to railroading and
became director of the Troy and Boston,
the Troy and bennington, and the Troy and
Schenectady roads When the latter prop
erty was sold to tho New York Central by
tho city Of Troy, Mr.. Sage became director
of the Central, and was chairman of its i'm
portant committee on accounts. His precient
mind revealed the untold possibilities of new
railroads in the west, and he invested liber-
ally in the milwaukee, and st. Paul, of which
he was for some time president He held u
similar position in tho Minnesota Central,
the Hastings and Dakota, the McGregor and
Missouri, and other railroads, oil of which, as
they appreciated in value, added largely to
his generous wealth. His interests in these
corporations led TO his removal to New York,
whittier he came with between half million
and million dollars in money and frst-clsss
securities
His friends predicted that his fortune
would vanish and that he would be swal-
lowed up in the whirlpool of Wall street,
He said nothing, but went on with his
deliberate plan of making for himself fame
and fortune Us great financier. No ono
knows what Mr. Sage is worth, but his for
tune still rates with the largest belonging TO
any one man in the country. Mr.. Sage has
ono of the gentlest dispositions and the
kindost of hearts Economical almost to
closoness, yet his modest benofactions and
especially his kindnesses to many young
men, indicate generous heart aud sympa-
thetic nature. Ho is childless, but has o
most devoted Christian wife, formerly Miss
Slocum, niece of the late Mayor Slocum, of
Troy, and a cousin of j. B. Jermain, Of West
Troy.

snake bite. Last week Mr. Gus Bush jr.,
and doctor Of Pickens county, Ala, were
driving cattle through the woods when the
latter was bitten on tho calf of the log by a
large rattlesnake with nine rattles, leaving
four distinct puncturos made by its fangs
and lower teeth. The snake was Immediately
killed, its gall bladder cut out and the bile
applied to the wound with marked effect.
The, doctor experienced no bad results, not

that serious prostration usually caused by

Count Zouraski, Of Worcester, Mass, q

gagged in tho fray with tho forces of tho
great Napoleon, was recently arrested for
creatinga disturbance. He was put out of a

with his cane, when an officer took him into
custody. The count gave an interesting
account of himself and is able to eubstan-
tate il by papers that he carries with him.
He is sturdy old man, 92 years of age, and
has long heavy whito beard, which rests on
his breast. Count Houraski takes his title
from his father, who was count of Warsaw.

Gen. Crook.

Last evening Gen. George Crook and party arrived from Arizona via the Santa Fe road and left at { o'clock on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy train for the East. The gen eraI was accompanied by Mir. Clar k Churchill, attorney general of Arizo- -na; Mir. w. B. Murray, of New York Dr. George w. McCrary, U. $. A.; Capt, c. s. Roberts, U. 5. A.; and Mrs. $. N. Holmes and Miss Palmer both of whom have been spending the winter in Arlzona.
 Gen. Crook is going to deliver the address at West Point on June IA, tc the graduating cadets. In conver satien with a Journal reporter the general spoke about the Irdiaus ir his department, whom he says, arc very industrious and anxions to wOl and become independent of any government help. Last year there were some 1,200 Indians who had drawn no supplies from the govern ment, having raised enough to sup port themselves, and there would be double that number this year. Then great want was for agricultural i'm plements. and although all was done for them in that direction, the means to help them was very limited. Tue general seemed to think that the Indians were doing very we'll and that everything was very quiet in his department.
 In speaking of the climate of Ari zona the general said there had beer a marked increase in the rain fall ot tn" territory within the last few years. and portions of land whict were formerly dry and barren were now very fertile. He attributed tbi' change 10 the building of railroads in the country, as the electrical cur rents running along the tracks anc telegraph wires have great effect 1T causing the fall of rain.
 On reaching the Rio Grande river on their journey, the party were obliged to get ont of the cars ane walk over the bridge, as the river wal so high that it was not considered safe for them to cross on the cars They went from the Rio Grande t' Demipg on three ordinary cars, anc did not get s sleeper until they ar rived at the latter place,
 Dr. McCrary left the party on ar rival here and started last night fol Dakota.
