THE COMING FAIR. EXHIBITORS
TICKETS, ETC.


BY a vote of the agricultural society
at its annual meeting last winter the
usual two day admission tickets to the
fair were abolished and it was voted
instead, to issue exhibitors ticketsn
to actual exhibitors which shall bear
both the name of the exhibitor and his
exhibit. After il was decided to hold
the fair four days instead of three as
heretofore, the officers of the society
directed that these exhibitors tickets
he considered good for admission to
the grounds the three first days of the
fair instead of two good only to the
person whose name the ticket bears.
The injustice of the agricultural society
selling admission tickets into the fair
ground at reduced rate when they
are dependent on the fair ground COM
pany to pay the premiums is so appar-
ent that some such rule rs the above
became a necessity. 1t will be noticed,
however, that the society is very liber-
nj to all exhibitors, as it has always
been.

RECENT DEATHS.

Solomon Humphrey died at his home
on Summer street Monday, after long
and very trying sickness. Mr.. Hum
phrey was native of this town and
was one of the fourteen children born
to the late Thomas Humphrey who
lived about mile above the Centre
village. The subject of this notice
formerly worked for the Fairbankses
building scales, hut for the last 90
years he had been severely afflicted
with asthma and had been confined to
the house for nearly year. Although
patient under suffering, he longed for
the release that death would give. He
left IA wife and one son, and seven
brothers and sisters widely scattered.
A. M. Stevens, the livery stable
keeper at south end of Main street,
died early Saturday morning after n
long illness. He had lived here only
a year. His remains were taken to New
bury for burial. He leaves wife and
two daughters who will remain at
their present residence. -....-..

upon his case and solemnly cursed
him. He was Immediately seized with
some awful malady, and his soul was
borne TO hell in a stream of blood.
rms is the story IS told for inc
glorlncatlon of st. GIldas and the cons
vocation of bishops, but IN the vault
of the chapel of st. Nicolas de Bienzy,
south of Napoleonv1lle, some work
men discovered about twenty years
ago set of frescoes which tell the
story as Perrault told it The first is
the marriage OF Comorre and Trlphyce
at Vannes; and the bsard of Comorre
is painted bluish-black. The second
exhibits Comorre starting on some
warllke expedition, and handing
Triphyrea key. The third is the mys-
ferrous chamber; the door is open,
and the seven murdered wives hang
against the wall. Then follows the
scene of the terrible question: Where
is the keya" Triphyna is on her knees,
Sister Anne Is looking anxiousiy out
of the window. In the last Comorre
is putting the rope round Triphyne's
neck, bat her brothers, accompanied
by st. Glldas in his holy robes, are al
the door.
These frescoes were certainly exe-
cuted more than three hundred years
ago, and before LIE Grand wrote his
lives OF the Breton saints, yet they
only give form and color to the far
more ancient oral tradition preserved
by the almost prehistoric city of Car
haix; Carhaix, the city of Comorrc.
1t is worth noticing IN passing that,
less than $50 years ago, Carhaix OBJ
tanned kind of piteous notoriety as
the first landing place of ''bonnie
Prince Charlie" after his escape from
Scotland and the fatal field of Cullo
| den.
The dreadful death procured by the
bishops for Comerre is not ratified
by popular tradition, which assert:
that he was killed in battle at spo
called Willow Bough, near the height:

of stove-pipe, there being nothing to
glass which is set in the bottom. The
tube is then turned IN the direction of
the object to be inspected, and the
picture is reflected on small trans
verse mirror, which throws the pic
ture out, through the side of the tsbe
near the mouth and into an ohserv-
er looking apparently into the tube
when observing body in the heav.
ems. This glass is fitted with a clock
work attachment, which will move
the glass IL the direct path of aHy ob
jeCt on whice it has beeS set, allowing
the observer to leave the glass for
hoars at time and on his return to
find the OBJECT at onca.
An idea of the power of this glass
was obtained by pointing II on the
crest of the most distant hill on the
north side of the river, where the nail
heads in the weather boarding of a
building could be seen distintly, aud
the features of a woman sewing in the
window could be recognized. Mr.. G..
w. Klages, the attendant, adjusted a
powerful eye glass to the tube, and a
letter carrier who Just entered was
given look. He said the men were
raking hay in the valley back of the
hills, as he imagined he could see it.
The ulusian was so great, from the
nearness of the hills, that he really
could smell new mown hay.
Prof. Rowland, of Harvard college,
has built and sold to the John Hop
kins university ruling>engine, in
tended to mark standard measure
ments on tools, and for all other pur-
poses. In order to make this engine
perfect the professor was allowed &C,
cess to the French standard, Whlt>
worth's English standard and the
American standard, which is a modi-
fcation of the English. He has de
dected standard from the combined
three which is perfect. Mr. Brashear
polishes plates to receive these
measurements. The plates are cast
from combination of tin and copper,
and so brittlethat theycan be crumbled
in the fingers. This brittleness is 8
great and valuable feature, as it al
lows of cutting very fine lines on its
polished surface, SO line as TO be
invisible to the unaided eye, being
IA, 43S lines in each inch OF space. A
fine diamond is used in cutting, and
the engine is so truly adjusted anC
delicately constructed that II cuts these
lines with precision. The effect to the
eye on polished surface is very lik,
the dampness from warm breath.
These standards are sold to manufac>
tureis of all kinds O, machinery, and
it is now 2 rare thing to find two
articles of the same stated size, made
by two manufacturers, that do no
assimilate IA size.

THE WORLD FROM THE SIDE

And list TO the tread of the million feet
In their quantity musical trampf
As the sur Zing crowd go to and FRO.
IT'S pleasant sight, ween,
To mark the figures that come ana go
In the ever-changinS scene.
Here the publican walks with the sinner proud,
And the priest in his gloomy cowi,
And Dives walks in the motley crowd
With Lazarus, check by Jowl; s,,-
And the daughter of toll with her fresh young
As pure as her spotless fame,
Keeps step with the woman who makes her mart
In the haunts OF sin and shame.
How lightly trips the country lass
In the midst Of the city g ills
As freshly pure as the daisied grass
That grows on her native hillsl
And the beggar too with his hungry eye
And his lean, wan face and crutch,
Gives blessing the same 10 the passer by
AS he gives them little or much.
When time has beaten the worlds tattoo,
And in dusky armor digit -,
Is treading with echoless footsteps through
The gloon Of the silent night,
How many If these shall be daintiy fed
And shall sink to slumber sweet,
While many shall go TO a sleepless bed
And never q crumb TO eat.
All me when the hours go joyful by
How little we stop 10 heed
our brothers and sisters Gespairing cry
In their woe and their bitter need!
Yet such world as the angels sought
This world Of ours we'd call.

Was felt by each for all.
Yet few short years and this motley throng

And the rich and the poer and the old ana the

And lips that laugh and lips that moan
Shall in silence alike be sealed,
And some will lie under stately stone
And some in the Potters Field.
But the sun will be shining just as bright,
And no will the silver moon,
And Just such crowd will be here At night,

And men will be wicked and women VIII SIN

When Mr. Baird had told his part
of the story another gentleman, also
from San Domingo. told something
that was not so pleasing to this couu-
try.
You ought" said he, Gin your
paper tell something of the abomin
able way in which this country is
represented ia San Domingo. The
fact is, the country isn't reprented at
all, and an American, unless ne has
wealth with which TO command re-
spect, IS treated like beast. The very
worst flag you can fly On the island
is the American flag, and that when
the place is full of Americans and
American capital. Why, look how
they shot down this poor American
carpenter Plat. / knew him we'll,
and nice little man he was. too,-as
good fellow as you would care to
meet. The republic went hunting for
Casareo through San Domingo, and
tracked him 10 a hotel. Plat was
writing in his room, and put his head
out of the window to see what all the
noise was about. Casareo's pursuers
take him for the man they want, and
riddle him with bullets. He was shot
through the neck. head, and body,
and dropped dead with his pen in his
hand. It was an accident if you like,
but if the man had been an English
man don't you think a row would be
made about it2 1t would, can tell
you, and big one. Someone would
have to suffer for such carelessnes~
As it is, the chance are that nothing
will be done at all. The government
there affords no protection whatever
to Americans, and it's burning
shame. Ask Mr.. Bass. who owns the
Pioneer iron works in Brooklyn. HI
, owns property in San Domingo, ane
can tell you about it. The fact is, the
Americans there are whites, and the
money is white meas money, while
the United States government is rep
, resented by colored citizens, who eth
er care or know nothing about tht
interests of the men whose rights they
,, are supposed to watch over.

Tkere is a diversity of opinion
among members of the bar in refer
ence to the decision OF &c Cox in
the Peck case. One of the lawyers
remarked to a Star reporter that,
whether the opinion is in accord with
the bulk of authorities or not, it is a
step in the right direction, for even
the marriage ceremony itself is too
lightly treated now, and something
should be done to make the union OF
two parties an impressive one" The
f,ct is" said he, there are author
.I1s on each side of the subject, mar
riage being regarded apparently in
some states as simply a contract, and
IN other states as more than contract
an institution. Maryland, whence
we get our laws, takes the high ground
that 1t is more than contract; that 1t
is an institution, this view having
been derived doubtlessly from the
Catholic church regarding it as rite
of sacrament Say what you will,
the more solemnity about the rite the
better it will be. I see the correct
ness of the decision of Jupge Cox
is questioned, and the decision OF
Justice Strong, of the supreme
court of the United States, IN Oc-
tober, 1877, is referred to. but, with
all respect, do not think that decision
of Jastice Strong settles the question
This was the case of Muster Us. Moore

decision the court leaned to the au'

HUGE TELESCOPE.
Right Ascension and DecIination OF
Heavenly Bodies Explained
Pittsburg Dispatch

Up on the side of the hill off Twen-
ty-fourth street, EMPOWERED in foliage
and giving no outward sign of the
business conducted within, are plant
ed the laboratory and workshops of
John A. Brashear.
There Is now in his shop, in fin
1shed state, magnificent rejecting
telescope, made to the order of F. G..
Dupont, the celebrated powder manu-
facturer of Washington, Del which
is to be mounted in his private observ-
atory, erected near his home in that
city.
The glass is made to fit the dome of
the observatory, in another part OF
which he already has similar glass.
The dome is in the spapc of half
sphere, through which is cut an aper~
ture from the base to the zenith to
allow the end of the glass TO protrude
at any angle of elevation desired; and
the whole dome and glass can be turn
ed to any point of the compass at
will. The object of these motions is
to allow the glass to be brought to
bear on any given point of right as
cension or declination, which answers
in astronomy for latitude and longi-
tude when applied to the earth.
To find Pittsburg on a chart
or map the observer looks first
for its latitude or distance north OF
the equator, then for its Longitude or
distance east or west from given
meridian. which in A merica is the
city Of Washington; then by follow
ing these two lines until they meet
Pittsburgh is found. So in finding
the position of a star or a planet IN
the heavens it is necessary first to
learn its right ascension, or distance
in degrees above the horizon, and It's
declination, or position on line from
the zenith to the horizon and where
these lines meet the star is found
The great desideratum in very
large glasses Is 70 construct them
that they can readily be handled and
easily pointed upon any spot IN the
heavens from a perpendicular or any
position between that and horizon
