A MESSAGE FROM MARs.-A start.
ling discovery is reported from Italy
tending to the inference that the
planetary system is in direct com.
munication with the earth. An anna
teur astronomer of Teremo, in the
Abruzzi, named Pomignani, has as
certained the presence on the face of
the planet Mars of several luminous
points of exceeding brilfiancy, which
shift from place to place with methodi-
cal regularity, as if they were con-
trolled by some intelligent action.
The observer has therefore concluded
that the sparks are telegraphic sig-
nails sent on speculation by the inhab-
itants Of Mars to their neighbor, the
earth. Up to the present the mean
ing Of the signals have not been in
terpreted, but those interested in the
discovery do not despair of finding
their Specification, and are now en-
gagged in attempting to answer the
astral messages Elk.

AT present the proportion of men
who are producers and drones is
fully one-fourth; the other three
fourths have not only to maintain
those dependent upon them, but also
the non-producers and all those de-
pendent upon them. Therefore, it
follows that the non-producers receive
about as much as all the producers.

Speaker Offutt was sustained by
the House in his quarrel with Mad
den but the newspaper reports of the
committees investigation clearly in
dictate that the facts sustained Mad
den. Mr.. Bullitt's statement left no
room for doubt that Speaker Oftutt
told him that he didn't want the days
session extended because he was
"afraid the id gambling bill would
come up" The conversation doubt
less was private one, as the Speak
er claims, but it certainly occurred
and Mr.. Offutt cannot afford TO let the
matter rest as reported by the white
washing committee. If he was will

use his office to throw distractions in
