The head of prominent family in Read
ing mislaid his gold spectacles seven years
ago, and the servant was discharged on sus-
picion Of having stolen them. A few days
ago the gentlemen opened the family Bible
in search OF letter paper and found his long
lost spectacles between the pages. If a man
has a poor memory he should never use the
family Bible as 4 receptacle for his specta-
cles. Place them in one of N. Zola's or
Mrs. Souihworth's novels and they will not
remain lost longer than an hour or two.-

At the Westminster Church letting on
the 22d inst, the lowest bidder was G. w.
Keefer. At congregational meeting held
by five Westminster people somo weeks ago,
it was resolved, that the new church build
ing should not cost over $4,000. Mr.. heei-
er's bid is for 50 .s65 and does not include
excav alton work, foundation wall work TO
grade line, pews, furnishing and lamps. IL
has been estimated that il will require ST.
500 more than Kecfer'S bid to complete the
church building. In view of these facts
congregational meeting has been called TO
meet on Wednesday evening to determine
the questions that are before the coDgrega-
ton.

matter OF water works, says /: Newport vo-

hundred and thirty-two votes the enterprise

while renters, too, feared increased rents.
The advocates OF water works made no par

foregone conclusion two weeks ago that the
enterprise would be defeated.

l am threatened with a comet,
With all-absorbing sun;
Told that should slowly burn out,
As my own fair moon has done;
Warned of coming confiagratiens
That will seize me unaware
Can fear annihilation,
After what daily heart
Pelted constantly with hsilstones,
Fiercsly shook by hurricanes,
Thrown by whirlwinds topsy .turvey,
Nearly drowned by constant rains,
Growled at day and night by thunder,
Pierced by lightning everywhere,
Nipped with frosts until scarcely
Know if l am round or square.
Out all night in freezing weather,
Uunder tropic suns all day,
Dug and struck with plows and shovels
Scratched with harrows every way,
Beaten down for streets and highways,
Galloped over day and night,
With steam engines, burned and scalded
Kept in a continual fright.
Deeper wounds than these l suffer
am mined and bored and hit,
Torn by dynamite and powder,
Blown to pieces bit by bit,
I've seen comets without number,
And they always keep their sphere;

Restless, curious man, fear.

Wonderous chemicals discover,
And the end will DC, of course,

Blown away Ike any feather,
Yet have one consolation
Probably well all go together.

PROFESSOR PRocToR's SUN.

Opening Lecture of the College Course
"A large Audience anu an AstrOnO-
mical Discourse Profusely Illus.
trated.
At the Congregational church last
evening the opening lecture of the col
lege course was delivered by Professor
Richard A. Proctor, astronomer. The
large audience room of the church was
comfortably filled with listeners, all the
seats being occupied. Most of the
patrons of this lecture were holders of
course tickets and the presence of so
large a concourse on the initial night
indicates good attendance upon the
coming lectures under the auspices of
the managers of the college course.
Professor Proctor was introduced by
DIR. Ward, president of Yankton college.
He is a short, square built man, of
unmistakable English type in appear.
ance, and accent. His subject
was the sun and his lecture was illus
trated by objects pertaining thereto
thrown upon a IN under a chemical
light prepared by Professor Bartlett,
superintendent of our city schools. His
first view was the earth and several of
the greater and lesser planets, arranged
to. exhibit their proportionate dimen-
sions and their relative size to the great
luminary of day. The sun itself, in a
Photographic view, was then flashed
upon the audience, followed by section
al views OF the great luminary and
several notable eclipses exhibiting the
corona in various phases. Among the
most interesting of Professor Proctor's
views were Photographic representations
of the northern half and the southern
half OF the sky at night, exhibiting the
starry expanse as seen by the naked eye
and with telescopes OF greater and lesser
power. The entire panoramic exhibition
was full Of rare interest, bringing the
audience into close familiarity with the
mysteries of space and its myriads of
occupants. The lecture which accom-
panied the professors illustrations was
drawn from lifelong study of the sun
and its system and the conclusions of
the best astronomical minds. 1t was q
story of marvels, of intense interest and
of lasting Impressions. Professor
Proctor is somewhat lacking in
the fresh Yigor of the popular
lecturer, following more the style of the
patient instructor than that of the
dazzling platform orator. But his
scientific lesson was driven home with
force aud it's effect will remain ever
though the lecturer passes from
mind. He occupied an hour and 9
quarter of time and gave to his hearers
a very pleasant evening.
That the first intellectual repast o.
the course has proven such a success il
encouragement to those who have faith
fully labored in Its behalf. There is ye'
a rich feast in store of which due notice
will be given.
