what Real Hunger Is.

F1gtsDurg DISPATCH.
Very few persons in this land of plenty know
what real hunger is. They imagine slight
craving for something to eat or little gnawing
sensation in the stomach, to be hunger. A
soldier who spent the winter Of 1866 on
Stringer Ridge. opposite Lookout mountain,
says he was hungry for three months; not mo-
ment Of which time he was not anxious for
something to eat They had three small crack
eTs a day, what corn they could steal from the
starving mules, and few half ripe persimInons'
One day word was brought to camp that q
mule had mired in the mud on the Raccoon
mountain road, and had been killed. He and a
number Of others started in search Of the car
cass, with visions of mule steak before their
eyes. On their arrival, they found fully two
hundred men there who had come on the same
errand. OF the mule there were only the hoefs
left. Two members Of the Hundred and Dutch"
Zone Hundred and Eighth Ohio) Regiment had
just finished hotly contested fight for the tall
While they were fighting, it was stolen, leaving
them only their black eyes and bloody noses as
the result Of their battle.
Notwithstanding these men were hungry
enough at any time to eat mule, and oftentimes
would have relished cut of dog, they were not
hungry enough to eat c0mrade. They realized,
however, that it was possible to be driven to
such an extreme And where would be the harm
in so doing II the necessity should arise2 There
certainly would be none at all

The earth Is now passing through the stream
of August meteors, generally seen in the north
western sky after midAight A single observer,
under favorable circumstances seas from SIX to
fifth or one sixth Of those visible above his hori
zon. The total number therefore visible in an
hour at given stations ID about thirty five, Il
we should multiply this by twenty four should
get over eight hundred as the number visible at
given point Of the eaFths surface in an entire
day, provided that clouds or sunlight did not
interfere with the observation From single
point on the earth's surface, however, we see
only small portion Of the atmospheric envelope,
and it is within this atmospheric envelope that
the meteors become visible. The total number
upward Of 10, 600 times the number visible at a
single station. or 10 900 multiplied by 800 equals
8 900, 600 as the number Of meteors falling every
day to the earth, which w0gld, in The absence OF
the sun, moon and clouds, be. visible to the
naked eye.
Fortunately for us, these bodies are not very
large, and a protective atmosphere interposes
between us and their tunultpous assault Were
it otherwise everything on the snrfRce Of the
earth would be battered down to q common
level For the most part these bodies are dis
solved in the upper regions Of the atmosphere
and descend imperceptibly as meteorle dust a
deposit Of which has sometimes been found upon
tops of mountains
The August meteors are usually OF an orange
color, move very rapidly and commonly leave
streaks which last for one or more seconds.
These streaks are highly useful in enabling us
| to fix the radiant point with precision.

rho Decaaenee Of Base BAN.
Chicago Herald.

Base ball has been overdone, and popular in
terest is not only waning but the sport itself is
depreciating. There are too many leagues; too
many clubs, too many professional players at
high salaries. The marked decline Of late is due
to several causes Not all Of these are with the
players and managers. The public is responsi-
bic for one demoralizing influence for meb-like
protestatiOns against the decisions Of umpiFes,
insults and threats of bodily harm, hooting and
howling, are demoralizing in the extreme.
Some ball experts declare that outside of a few
clubs play is becoming worse instead of better.
There is poorer throwing, catching and base
running than of old Apparently everything
has been sacrificed to the speciality Of 1.-THE bat

II it is asked why Mr.. Hendricks life has
been failure, so far as results are concerned,
the answer is easy. A man who has more moral
cowardice than moral courage in his makeup,
who is insincere tep times to where he is sincere
once, and who never declares himself until he
has felt the public pulse. and then in doubtful
manner, was never born for leader. Such a
course through long and comparatively un-
tation Of being the greatest straddler on earth.
He does not command the respect OF men OF sin

man can never arouse enthusiasm, and is ever
doomed to disappointment and defeat

Are Income Bonds of Any value2

The Corbin syndicate, which purchased the

gauge is net having the smoothest Of sailing.
The circular calling the meeting Of income bond
holders Of tho Iron division says; ANY person
purchasing the stock of said newly-organized
corporation will do so with full notice that the
corporation can have no valid title to the railroad
or property until the rights of the second mort
gage bondhclders are adjusted" But the term
second mortgage bondholders is misnomer, and
the wholesubjeet involves alsgal principle which
holders of the securities of great number of
other railroads that have issued income bonds
would be glad to see settled. The fact is that
the affairs of the Toledo, Cincinnati 8 St Louis
railroad are becoming so tangled that the outside
public generally prefer to wash their hands Of
the whole business; yet it would be apublic bene-
fit if some suit could be frought to determine the
exact legal status Of an income bond of this and
other roads which might be named.
