The wonder of those who go to the Har-
nett House, in Savannah, is that so excel
lent a table and such comfortable rooms
can be offered to the public at such mini
mum rates. Without exaggeration, the
table of the Harnett is as good as that OF
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
up the sum gifts attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation

AN APPROACHING STAR-One of
the most beautiful Of all stars in the
heavens is Arcturus, in the constella-
tion Bootes. In January last the
astronomer royal communicated to
the Royal Astronomical Society a
tabulated statement of the results of
the observations made at Greenwich
during 1883 in applying the method
Of DIR. Higgins for measuring the
approach and recession Of the so-called
fixed stars in direct line. Nearly two
h lndred of these observations are thus
recorded, twenty one of which were
devoted to Arcturus. and we're made
from March 80 to August "a. The
result shows that this brilliant scintil-
lating star is moving rapidly towards
us with velocity of more than fifty
miles per second (the mean Of the
twenty one observations is 508).
this amounts to about three thousand
miles per minute, one hundred and
eighty thousand per hour. four million
three hundred and twenty thousand
miles per day. Will this approach
continue, or will the star presnetly ap-
pear stationary and then recede? If
the motion is orbital the latter will
occur There is, however, nothing in
the rates observed to indicate any such
orbital motion, and as the observations
extended over five months this has
some weight. Still it may be travel
ing in mighty orbit of many years
duration, the bending Of which may
in time be indicated by retardation
of the rate Of approach, then by no
perceptible movement either towards
or away from us, and this followed by
a recession equal to its previous ap-
proach. If, Oh The other hand, the
four million five hundred thousand
Of miles per day continue, the star
must become visibly brighter to pos
fertility, in spite Of the enormous mag
nitude of cosmical distances. Our
eighty-one-ton guns drive forth their
projectiles with a maximum velocity
Of fourteen hundred feet per second.
Arcturus is approaching us with
speed that is two hundred times great
Ell than this. 1t thus moves over
distance equal to that between the
earth and sun in twenty-one days.
Our present distance from Arcturus
is estimated at one million six hundred
ana twenty two thousand times this.
Therefore, if the star continues ap-
proach US at the same rate as measur-
ed last year, it will have completed
the whole Of its journey towards us in
ninety-three thousand years.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.

PETER BURNS LONG TRAMP
FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO JACKSON
A SIX MONTHS TRAMP AT NINETY EIGHT

A few days ago there arrived in this
place an aged colored man, who seemed
to be well-nigh past travelling further by
the method he was then usipg-tramping
He walked with the aid of two sticks, and
his locomotion was slow, and evidently
attended with great exertion, if not pain.
This man was Peter Burns, who formerly
lived in the edge of Orange County, North
Carolina. He states that he is now nine
ty-eight years of age. The old gentleman
became tired of North Carolina, in his
old age, and concluded to visit his broth
er, who lives at or near Be1lefontaine
Ohio, and conceived the idea of walking
the entire distance. In June last he set
out on his long and weary. tramp, and
about the last of November arrived in
Jackson.
The old man slept one night by the
boilers at Fulton Furnace. The boys at
the furnace gave him something to eat,
and treated him well. Fext day as Mr..
Charles V. Jenkins was at work, the old
man asked him:
"Wuz ye in de warp"
eyes" replied Charley.
"Well," sal. the old man, "dey's goin'
TO be anudder war. Dem Rebs hasn't got
whipped bad enough yit-but dey'n git it
yitr'
The old man was asked how he voted
down in North Carolina.
Il know how I'd voted eff I'd vot-
ed" said he "6ut didn't cote"
The old gentleman was evidently in no
condition to travel further on foot, and
friends here furnished him with trans
portation to his destination. He was
cared for while here by Mr.. William Gale
and other friends. What a grand pros
pect for success in life many
young man would have, did he possess
the indomitable perseverance of old Peter
Burns. He first decided that it was right
for him to start on his long and weary
tramp, then determined that the only
thing which could cause the failure of the
undertaking would be his falling by the
wayside. This he came near doing, but
at the last his lines were cast in pleasant
places. At the critical moment he fortu-
nately reached Jackson, where man
need not be without friends.

THAT BULLDOG !

He was walking along with his head
bowed in thought, this old eolored gentle
man, yet had somewhat merry-looking
smile on his face. Passing friend he
was aceosted with:
swell, Uncle, how do you like the elec-
ton of Cleveland?"
"Me? oh, I always commodities my,
self to circumstances. When 1 falls in
de mud, I not only laughs to see it splash
on some one else, but dey always gimme
room enough afterwards. Now de elec-
tion oh Cleveland puts de Democrats in
de same fix 1 wuz once, when L cornered
de ole bulldog up in fence corner, when
he wuz after my sheep. He stood look
in me in de eye; looked him in de eye
He didn't zackly know what wuz goin'
ter do, an though had him-he wuz my
meat, yet I'd give my last dollar to a
know'd jes aohat dat bulldog aoaIz a goi,a

The Presidents Message, delivered to
the 4Sth Congress-, is too lengthy for re-
production here. 1t is plain, business
like paper, setting forth the condition of
the country at home, our relations with
foreign powers, and so on. The Treasury
shows a surplus of $57,6O3,395 for the fis-
cal year, and an estimate of $S9,OO0,OOo
for the year ending June 80, next. The
President recommends that the forced
coinage of silver dollars be stopped, and,
in order to get the surplus now in the
Treasury in circulation, that the one-dol-
lar and two-dollar notes be withdrawn,
and the issuing of silver certificates. He
recommends the abolition of all excise
duties except those on distilled spirits
He recommends that measures be taken
to strengthen our coast defenses, and the
completion of the steel cruisers author
lied in 1882. He urges the most radical
legislation for the suppression of polyga
! my in Utah.

The so-called Prohibition party ex-
hibited itself in more discreditable
light at the recent election. Honest
reformers who attempt to organize a
new party ask for votes in order to
exhibit the strength of the principle
advocated, aud can afford to be in
different as to where or from whom
the votes come, and they never ask or
expect one OF the dominant parties to
supply them with campaign funds.
In the recent Presidential campaign
the Prohibitionists openly advised
temperance Democrats to vote for
Cleveland, and sought votes only from
Republicans, and only in the closely
contested States. They were indus
trious in Ohio until after the October
election. After that their canvass was
confined to less than half a dozen
States supposed to be close as between
Cleveland and Blaine. In other words
they obeyed the orders of their Demo-
cratic employers. The old parties
may be measurably corrupt, but the
Prohibition party is infinitely more
corrupt than either.-Casasnhus Saa-
dan Herald.

THE Spirit OF THE solid SOUTH !
MIDNIGHT ATTACK ON A MINISTER'S Res
IDENCE.

One of the most earnest opponents of
Grover Cleveland in the campaign just
closed. was the Rev. George Ell. Ball, of
Buffalo, who gave as his reason that
Cleveland was, to his knowledge, a man
of immoral character, and one whom it
would be disgrace for the American
people to elect to the Presidency. The
minister was vigorous, but gentlemanly,
in his opposition, and doubtless quite eff
fective in drawing votes away from
Cleveland. But Cleveland is now elect
ed; the Solid South is taking the fore
most place; and of course the Solid South
methods must be introduced every where.
Therefore crowd of Democratic hood
lums few nights ago attacked the resi-
dence of the reverend gentleman, in Buff
falo, about midnight, while his family
were asleep. Chunks of coal were show
cred at the house, breaking windows, and
making a mess generally. One missile
was hurled through the window of bed
room occupied by Mr.. Balls daughters,
striking the wall on the opposite side of
the room. Fortunately, no member of
DR.. Balls family was hurt, and unf0rtu-
nately, no member of the mob was killed.
When it comes to the point where min
ister of the gospel cannot oppose the
Democratic candidate because he con-
scientiously believes that candidate an
unfit man to be placed in so exalted po-
sition, without subjecting his family to
mob violence, and possible murder, it is
certainly time for Democratic liars to
quit denying the outrages in the South.
And the worst part of these outrages is
the fact that Democrats, as a party, while
publicly attempting to deny these out
RACES, secrtly endorse them.
The methods employed to subdue DR..
Ball are the same which were effective in
Louisiana, where, in 1876, the. Republican
vote was 77,174, and in 1878, there sOas not
q Republican cote cast in the State!
