There are all kinds of rings in the
business and political world, but the
greatest ring of all, says Demorest, is the
one which some astronomers say is form
ing outside the atmosphere of the earth.
There are people who gravely maintain
that the extraordinary sunsets and sun
rises which have been noticed for months
are due to the formation of a ring or
rings around our earth, similar to those
revealed with the telescope encirclng
the planet Saturn. No scientist of note
has dared, as yet, to seriously consider
this theory, but these sunsets are, never
thelcss, as great IA mystery as ever That
they are due to moisture in til: atmos-
phcrc, or to dust hurled up into the air
at the volcanic cruptions last summer IN
Java, is now discredted. A lady has
vcnturcd the surmse that the red sun
sets are due to an effort on the part of
the sun to adjust itself to the new
standard time; but of course; this is
joke. 1t is clear that there are more
things in heaven and earth, unexplained,
than are dreamed of, not only by the
philosophy but by the science Of modern
times.

How Watch Gases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a gold watch case, and yet few people know
how a watch case is made or the vast diff

a large proportion OF the metal is needed
only to stilicn and hold the engraved por-

surplus is not only needless, but Undesira-
bile, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the Ease permanently

Gen. Hazen stated TO the court today that
he had discovered that he WAS not absent on

fore Garlington's instructions were drafted.
Capt. Ciapp testified that the subject had
been brought TO Gen. FIszen's sttention by
him. but tine proposal was rejected.
Lieut. Darlington tells the court that he
saw .ough notes of the paper in Lieut.. Caz-
iare's office some time between the 18th and
Goth of May.
Lieut.. Cazisre swears that he prepared the
very first notes of the matter on the Sd OF
June.
Capt Powell said that he never. to the
best of his knowledge, had the documents IN
his hands.
Lieut. Cazaire saws he gave it to Capt.
Powell on the 4th of June. and he was told
by that officer that he had given it to Gen.
Hazen. Hazen thinks that he never saw the
paper until Lieut.. Darlington brought it to
him on June 5.

COMES TO GRIEF.
An Exchange Clerk for a Large Com.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.
About Christmas time Pinkerton's agency
received a telegram from Sperry G Barnes Of
New York and New Haven, American agents
for large Liverpool commission house of
Bamford Bros. stating that their exchange
clerk, E. II. Kobbe, had absconded after
forging and converting to his own use 1IOe,-
600. 1t was discovered that Kobbe was here
in company with . man named John Van
Asdals and that they we're spending money
very freely. While the case was being
worked up Van Asdale returned to New
York where he was arrested. Last Friday
kobbe was arrested in house of i'll repute
with one of the inmates, of whom he had be-
come enamored and with whom he was on
the poiut Of starting te Mexico. Four hum
dred in money was found in bis possession
and $3.50 worth of furs and silks Ii ap-
pears that Hobbs forged bills in exchange on
Bamford Bros which we're disposed of to
Jesup Patten Co, and had checks made
payable to his own order. He was taken
to New York the same day as arrested and
q large amount of bonds recovered.

GOVERNOR ROBINSON.
His inaugural Address Before the Mas
sachusettss Legislature.

BosroS, Jan. 3.
Gov. Butler attended by the military staff
was in the executive chamber during the
morning hours. At 80 A. II. Adjusfant
General Dalton and Surgeon General Cilley
waited upon Hon. George ID. Robinson who
was at the fremont House and informed him
that the inaugural ceremonies were about
to commence.
Mr.. Robinson accompanied these gentle
men to the executive chamber where he was
welcomed by the retiring governor who con-
graduated him on his accession to the office.
Charles Robinson, ST., and his wife, OF Lex
ington, the pareats of Gov. Robinson, Chas.
Robinson, Jr.. and wife Of Newton, Gov.
Robnson's brother and sister and-law, Gov.
Robinson's son and daughter and other mem
bers Of his family had taken seats in the
members gallery.
President Bruce having administered the
cath of office to Mr.. Robinson. he then quail
flied for lieutenant-governorshi the Hon.
Oliver Ames of Easton. Mr.. Bruce presened
the governor to large company. His Ex-
cellency was cordially received and at once
proceeded to deliver his inaugural address.
He began the reading of the document at l
P. N.
Gov. Robinson gives the funded debt Of
the State as S3l .436, 900, a reduction of over
one million dollars during the year. Refer
ing to the increase of taxation, which is al
most purely municipal he says that there
are but two methods of protection; one to
limit the powers of cities and towns to make
expenditures, the other to uncover concealed
property and increase the valuation. He
thinks some limit should be placed upon the
loans made BY savings banks, as there is a
tendency to loan to excess. He favors BIZ
ennial elections for State officers and bien-
NAL sessions of the legislature. Civil ser
vice reform in State and National service is
commended and the employment of super
intendent of education in the smaller towns
Of the State is urged and scheme for more
equal distribution is suggested to accomplish
this purpose. Better protection of the for
ests of the State is favored and the encoure-
ment of tree planting by exempting lands de-
voted to the culture Of forests. He favors
weekly rather than monthly payments of
laborsrs receiving not over 81 per day as a
means Of benefit to workingmen: commends
the results accomplished by the board Of
helth. lunacv and charity, and though urged
to recommend abolition Of the board and the
creation of several in its stead, does not
think proper to do so. Politics and admin
istrstioR of State charities should have no
connection whatever. Whether the liquor
traffic b. restricted by license or prohibition,
he urges honest enforcement of the law, but
makes no suggestion in reference to it. The
remainder of the message is devoted to topics
of local interest.

in the city Of Augusta. From such .
source as that nothing can be expected
concerning Mr.. White. but defamatory re-
ports Of the grossest and most slanderous
character. The pen that writes them Is
dipped In gall. Mr.. White has borne
good reputation as an officer. But his
honest aud well meant attempts TO en-
force the laws. as in the ease Of the
rumsellers. have been turned against
him by insidious foes and made to appear
very different from what they actual
Iy were. We trust the city government
will do its whole duty in the matter.
When the facts are clearly ascertained.
we have no doubt that the carefully woven
tissue Of falsehood which appears In the
New Age will utterly fall TO pieces and
react upon the heads of its authors.
