caught sight of the above named nebule

You can judge, sir, of my surprise when
found that, even under a glass of small
power, instead of finding "a faint misty
appearance in the heavens produced by
stars" 1 found a perfect galaxy; indeed,
there was spread out to my view grand
new system OF stars, compared with which
any of our old consultations, the "Great
Bear" "Scorpio," or even "Orion" itself,
are thrown completely into the shade.
At present it consists of eight stars OF
the second magnitude, four of them FORM
ing a canopy, under which dozens oi
others of the third and fourth magnitudes
rest, with but little regard to order, except
on the south side of the group, where can
be seen five stars of the third magnitude,
forming true segment of a circle, and
placed at exactly equal distances from
each other, having much the appearance
of Corona" found between Hercules
and "Bootes."
If the group continues to approach us
with the same celebrity that it b. done since
it was first discovered, about three months
ago, we may hope that some at least oi
the present generation of people will live
to see with the naked eye all, and a great
deal more than i have attempted to de-

THE Nashville Bonner of Monday quotes
from a sermon (?) delivered by Sam
Jones in the First Presbyterian church of
that city, Sunday, IS follows,
There is many a fellow going on about our con-
Wet system and abusing the lessees who don't
know anything about it. had the curiosity to go
and look II to that system, and tell you all here
heart; that found nine-tenths of the charges
against the convict system false perdition.
talked with the convict, saw what they wore and
ate, what they had TO do, and say the most hap
py laborers saw in Tennessee were those who
had on striped clothes. / said to one of the man
agers: Nv hich Is the best, convict labor or free
laborY'' He replied. Convict labor Free labor
Is always complaining about the number of hours
to the day, the wages you pay them and the work
they have to do; but conviets do not care but for
one thing-that they get plenty TO eat, plenty to
wear, and the quarter for every extra ton of coal
they dig out, and they are the happiest lot out"
Nothing more insolently insulting to
the honest working people of Tennessee
ever fell from the lips of plutocrat or
monopolist. 1t may square with Sam
Jones's idea of the deservings of the hon.
est poor, but to the mass of men who
have studied the infamous lease system,
with its almost irresponsible power, it is
wholly false and untrue. The lease system
is a disgrace, blight and blot upon the
fair escutcheon of the State; it is uuchris-
tian and brutalizing, and a menace to the
honest laboring classes of both colors.
Free labor" says Mr.. Jones, sis always
complaining about the number of hours
of the day, the wages you pay them and
the work they have to do" but the con-
viCts, who are in fact slaves under task
masters, never complain, because it would
be no use. For those of them that have
complained there has been the lash and
the shotgun. Out upon this libel upon
the gentle Christ, whose pity and
commiseration for tine poor and the
downtrodden made his gospel the special
hope of all who were distressed in mind,
body or estate. Out upon this Jones, this
mouthing bls;herskite and pulpit mounte-
bank, who has neither sympathy nor pity
for the weary toilers Of the land. No self
respecting workingman should give this
salvation-shneker a moments hearing,
and he should be driven from the pulpits
Of the State, which he has disgrsced by his
rant and low vulgsriiy.
