A GENEROUS GOVERNMENT.

If, as at this writing appears prob
able, the additional appropriation
by Congress of three hundred and
sixty.five thousand dollars to pay
tho incurred debts of the Cen
tennial Exposition, should, with
President Arthnrs approval be con
sumated, it will, under all attending
be ono Of thu most
generous, acts eyer done by the
Federal government.
When at the outset of the under.
taking assistance WAS rendered to
the Managers first of $1,000, 900,
followed by he further sum of $780,
900, assurance was given that there
would be no need of further All.
Not only this, hut the management
seemed unwilling that there should
be suggestion of that loan not being
returned out of the proceeds.
The statement recently made
shows that the previous loan of the
government canuot, under the most
favordbls circumstances of the fn-
ture, be returned. One of the con-
ditions of the present loan, that it
should be clearly understood no fur

Is the Color of the SUN blue?
[Prof. Langley, in science, ]


1t may be asked, what suggested
the idea that the sun may be blue
rather than any other color? My own
attention was first directed this way
many years ago, when measuring
the heat and light from different parts
OF the suns disk. 1t is known that
the sun has an atmosphere of its own,
which tempers its heat, and by cutting
offcertain radiations, and not others,
produces the spectral lines we are all
familiar with. These lines we Gus
tomarily study in connection with the
absorbing vapors of sodium, iron and
so forth, which produce them but my
own attention was particularly given
to the rengions OF absorption, or to
color it caused and found that the
sums body must be deeply blush, and
that it would shed blue light except
for this apparently colorless solar
atmosphere which really plays the
past of reddish veil, letting a little
of the blue appear on the centre of the
SUMS disk where it is thinnest, and
staining the edge red, 50 that to deli
cate test the centre OF the sun is q
pale aquamarine, and its edge garnet
The effect / found to be so important

her husbands case. Mrs. Garfield
knew that the general reputation Of
DR.. Bliss In the District OF Columbia
was not good. She knew that his
hasty conclusion that the wound was
necessarily fatal was unwarranted.
1t was manifest that the unskillful
probing was based Upon that assump-
ton, and that proper treatment was
too long delayed. 1t is now obvious
that the latest and best precausions
against blood poisoning were not at
first taken. And the weeks and
months searching for the ball was so
unscientifc that the surgeons located
it just one inch less than foot and q
half from the actual point where it
was harmlessly embedded. The con-
sulting physicians, Drs. Hamilton and
Agnew, were and are professional
gentlemen of high standing, but hav-
ing been called iato the case by DR..
Bliss, they could not dissent from his
chosen course of treatment without
rendering themselves liable to dis
missal. We have it from the son of
one of these gentlemen that his father
disapproved OF Garfield's treatment"
Noticing the above the Commercial
Gazette says:
A brother-in-law of President Gar.
field has been foolish enough to deliv-
err an alleged lecture, in which he
contends that the death of Garfield
was not caused by the gun-shot wound
but by medical mistreatment. 1t is a
pity that any one so nearly related to
the second martyred president should
be such an ass. Guiteau's pistol shot
shattered two joints OF the backbone
Of the President, and only clot of
blood prevented his bleeding to death
on the spot. There will be horde OF
idiots after Grants death who will
howl through the years that if they
could have had a show at some par
ticularsalve, they would have cured
the devouring cancer. Such people
are always with us.

man acted as presiding Judge in one

and Judge Thompson, having an en-

Harper, well known colored lawyer,
to preside, the pending case being
against q colored man for assault. The
lawyers in the case readily assented to
the appointment of Mr. Harper as
judge, and he heard the testimony
with intelligent discrimination, and
found the accused guilty, imposing a
fine of IS and placed him under bond
