A STAR ON THE TRAMP.
The Remarkable Discovery of a
Washington Astronomer.


Washington Astronomer.
They say that the chief astronomer at
the Washington observatory was dread
fully sold short time since. A wicked
boy, whose Sunday school experience
seems only to have made him more de-
PRAYED, caught FREELY and stuck it,
with the aid of some mucilage, in the
center of the largest tense of the tcle-
scope.
That night when the astronomer went
to work he perceived a blaze of light APP
parently in the heavens, and what amaz-
ed him the more was that it would give
a couple of spurts and then die out, only
to burst forth again in a second or two.
He examined it carefully for few min
utes and then began TO do sums TO find
where in the heavens that extraordinary
star was placed. He thought he found
the locality, and next morning he tele-
graphed all over the universe that he had
discovered a new and remarkable star of
the third magnitude in Orion. In a day
or two all the astronomers of Europe and
America were studying Orion; they
gazed at it for hours until they We're

The Scotch hand-grasp is the rough
est; the Frcnchmen shake hands with
the tips of stiflened and drawn-together
fingers, which signifies that he walls
himself round with politeness as with n
fortress, to keep off intruders.
Never expect anything of a man who
shakes a soft hand in limp way.
An Italian, who, in all eases, tries to
hide his little game, hates TO offer his
hand. TO avoid doing so when he
meets an Englishman, he rubs both his
hands slowly together, as if washing
them.
An enthusiast about ideas, principles,
and systems rarely puts cordiality into
a hand-shake.
Thiers's hand-shake, though brusque
and dry, was not unpleasant.
That of Gambetta contrasted with his
apparent opennesS and heartiness, but
did not express character.
Clemanceau's is nervous and rapid,
and, with friend, very friendly.
Greyv scans your countenance in a
good-humored way in holding your
hand
Mime. Adams hand-shake is that of
fearless and amiablc woman who
wants to make aconquest of every man,
woman and child she meets.
1t is counted improper for a French
miss in her teens to offer so much as
the tips of her fingers, whether they are
gloved or not, To a gentleman.
The French lady shakes hands in a
pussy-cat style, and the German frau in
an honest, simple, motherly fashion.
Victor Hugo does so in a manner Of
a grandiose into which, as in Galatea,
the breath of life has been breathed.
When he has to do with a lady, he,
with Olympian majesty tempered by
chivalrous feeling, takes her hand slow
ly, gravely, and kindly, and. after hold
ing it to his lips, lowers it to the level
where it was when he raised it.

The ANCIENT "Sninster."

Time was when spinning played
such an important part in woman's
existence that, as Grimm observes, it
came to be regarded as her sole occu-
patton, and she was recognized by the
appellation "spinster" Yet for the
last sixty or seventy years all spinning
wheels have been silent. | well re-
member a lumbcr-room in my grand
fathers house, into which when a child
| used to peep and see more than a
dozen old ones; some were prettily
inlaid with mother-of pearl, but all of
them were overlaid with other wheels
made bv spiders, and thickly covered
| with LAYERS of white dust Ny poor
grandmother used to look very sad
when | asked about these spinning
wheels; they were hers, and her
mothers. and her grandmother and
no doubt she sometimes fancied she
heard the whirr which feet that trod
the earth no longer had once set in
motion She herself had, as she aver
red with gentle triumph, ''spun a rare
good thread in her days but when |
asked her why she did not 90 on spin
ming good thread, her answer was, mo
one spins now and if pushed my
inquiries further, | was told it was easy
enough to spin, but that there was no
way of getting the thread you made
used, for there We're no hand-looms
now. That, no doubt, summed up the
whole difficulty. Every little group of
villages once had its weaver, and much
earnest thought was given in those
DAYS to patterns for table-linen. One
of the truest touches in George Eliot 5
mill on the Floss, is the contempt
which the sister who ''held with a
sprig' felt for the sister who had always
''held with spot a spot was utterly
commonplace, and to be satisfied with
spot when she might have had what

Mrs U. S. Grant, Mt. McGregor, \. Y.
Arrangements for the Funeral.


The only places for the burial of Gen.
Grant which have been seriously con-
sidered were Washington and New
York Gen. Grant left the request that
wherey err he was buried it should be so
arranged that his wife could lie beside
him when her death should occur.
When Mayor Grace rendered a
funeral site in Central Park, New York,
Col. Fred Grants first thought was
relative to the dying request of his
father. Mayor Grace, in response to
kilograms gave the assurance that the
board of aldermen would pass a formal
resolution relative to Mrs Grant 5
final resting place, and also sent his
private secretary to Mt. McGregOr to
urge acceptance. The family finally
decided to accept the offer of New York
city, and Central Park will therefore
be the burial place. President
Cleveland sent Adiutant General Drum
to Mt McGregor. with an offer of a
site in the Soldiers Home at Washing
ton. The president urged that as Gen.
Grant belonged to the nation his re-
mains should rest at the capital of the
country, but the decision was made
otherwise.
There will be first a family funeral,
DR.. Newman officiating, at Mt. Nc
GregOr, before the public funeral be-
gins. When the final ceremonies be-
gin the following will be the pro-
gramme
Tuesday, Aug 4, leave Mt. McGregor at
p. m; arrive at Saratoga at ? p. m; leave
Saratoga at 2 80 p. m; arrive in Albany at
4:30 p. m; leave Albany at ! O'Clock
noon, Wednesday Aug, 5, and arrive about
80 p. IN. in New York.
In the interval from 4:3O p. M, Tues
day, to noon of Wednesday, Aug. 5, the
remains will lie in state at the capitol,
and from the time of arrival in New
York ON Wednesday afternoon until
Saturday, Aug. 8, the body will lie in
state at the city hall. The public OBJ
sequies will take place on Saturday, at
such time as the civic authorities may
arrange, and the interment will then
follow in Central Park.
The funeral is to be a national one
and the president has directed Gen.
Hancock to take charge of the re-
mains, escort them to New York and
continue to care for them until the
funeral interment The president and
cabinet will attend in body The en-
balming has made a marked change
in the wan and emaciated appearance
of the dead The cheeks and face, by
the process made use of, have been
made to assume fullness. The deeper
burrows and lines have been filled out,
and the expression of the face is now
| one of peace and rest.

Style in the West.

In the Heppner Hills this season the
recherche thing in overalls is to have
pocket corners braided in lieu Of the
copper rivets that were en- regle last
season. Tney are worn either stuffed
alto the boots or outside.
An elite thing in watch chains is
wide buckskin strap worn dangling
.~om the pocket and ornameuted with
a stud-horse poker chip. 1t also works
or a ranch razor strap.
An esthetic rustic substitute for q
button is shingle nail or a piece of
happened stick poked through a gal

some ranches. but it is bad thing to
fall down on.-Heppner (Qre.l GazeiiA

New York, July 28.-The Geographic
dispatch fromCol Fred Grant. announce
ing that his mother had decided in fay-
or of the site in Riverside park, was re-
ceived at the mayors office in the city
hall at 80 o clock this morning. The
burial place will be on the site of the
St. Glare homestead, now known as
the Claremont houses This building
stands on the high plateau at the end
of Riverside park. The building was
the homestead of the St. Clare family,
and, when the grounds about it We're
acquired by the city, the old building,
which has stood for more than $50
wears on the same site was re-
modelled and transformed into u
house for refreshments, under control
of the park department. The tomb
and monument to Gen. Grant will be
directly on the site of this building,
which must be demolished or remQged.
Mayor Grace said to-day; II have been
confident from the first that when Col.
Grant was shown the advantages of the
site in Riverside park he would agree
that it was much more suitable spot
than any that could be found in Central
park. Riverside park extends along
the river front for three and one-half
miles, from Seventy-second to One
Hundred and Thirteenth street, and is
of varying width. The total area is
about III acres. / am very glad that
the members of Gen. Grants family
have accepted this site, for the
grounds about the monument
can be laid out with view TO
display the testimonial that will mark
the resting place of the country 5 hero.
Mayor Grace said to-day it was more
than probable that the board of alder
men would very shortly change the
name of Riverside park TO Grant park.
The selected site is on very high ground
close to the North river. just above
the spot chosen for the tomb the river
bends to the west, and fine view as
far north as the Sappanzee is afforded.
Across the Manhattan valley and the low
lands bordering on the Harlem river she
visitor can see both shores OF the sound
while to the south the church towers
and tall buildings in the lower part of
the city do not obstruct the view of
the light house on the Jersey highlands.
The board of alderman have passed
the following:
WHEREAS The family of Gen q s.
Grant have accepted the offer of the corpor
alton OF the city of New York for sepul-
chre in one of the public parks OF this city,
and have selected site in Riverside park
for that purpose; be it therefore
Resolved That the right of the sepul-
cher in said Riverside park be and is hereby
given to Gen. u. S. Grant and his wife up
on ker demise; and be it further
Resolved, That a proper deed Of cession
for the purpose designated be prepared by
the counsel to the corporation, when the
exact locality and dimensions of the
grounds be fixed and the said deed he
therefore duly executed by the city authori-
ties

On the first of next October the first
marriage license law of Pennsylvania,
goes into effect. 1t seems to be a clum-
~ and contradictory enactment. A
clergyman or magistrate performing
marriage ceremony for an unlicensed
couple may be fined 800, but for the
sum of fifty cents the license fee--a
couple may marry themselves, by SIM
ply at the time of procuring their IL
cense. making out their marriage pa
uerS and having the name recorded
evidently the Pennsylvania lawmakers
did not look upon the marriage union
rs a religious sacrament, but rather as
a minor civil contract to be loosely en-
tered into. \ strong public sentiment
has arisen against the law on the ground
that it does not al all improve the state
of things existing under the non-license
regime, bur rather increases and en-
courages the tendency to enter into
matrimony without the blessing Of the
Church =
