In closing his remarkable essay
upon the money established by the
Constitution, George Bancroft says:
81 am pleading the cause of indus
try, the cause of labor, the cause of
the poor; and yet, as / do not be-
lieve that the interests of the various
classes of society necessarily clash
with each other, 1 may hope that /
am pleading for the welfare of
society, for the rights and duties of
all who, in the many .diversities of
honorable occupation, contribute to
the completeness of nation. What
1 have written is the fruit of many
hours employed in examining the
laws of our period of colonial life,
as well as in the study Of our Con-
stitution and of the corresponding
history and affairs of many lands. l
may utter these last words of admo-
milton as assurances of that love of
country, of liberty, and of truth,
that has been the rule of my life,
and still glows in heart which must
so soon cease to beat."- IS. f.

BISHOPS RING AROUND the SUN.

If there is nothing new under the
sun, there is at least something new
around it. For the last two years
close observers of the sky have
noticed that the monday sun has
been surrounded by q corona OF
dusky, coppery, or reddish light, as
it has been variously described, the
circle of most distinct color having
q radius of about fifteen degrees and
inclosing a brilliant, silvery or blue
ish glow close around the solar disk.
A similar appearance of much less
intensity has been occasionally no.
ticed around the full moon on very
clear winter nights.
The most experienced observers
of sky colors are agreed that this
corona was not visible before the
latter months of 1883. Won Bezold
of Munich, who was considered the
most competent meteorologist to pre-
pare schedule for observations on
the colors of the sky for the recent
German Arctic Expedition, says
that in spite of the close attention he
had previously given to the appear
ance of the usual whitish glow
around the sun, he had never till re-
Gently seen the dusky ring. Thollon
of Nice, who had made a special
study of the sky around the sun for
q series of wears, declares conf
IDENTIFY that change occurred in
November, 1883. Backhouse of
Sunderland, who has careful re-
cord of parhelia for twenty-five
years, confirms this opinion. We
may, therefore, safely accept the
conclusion that the change of color
from the blue of the open sky to the
intense glare of whitish light close
around the sun was until lately af-
fected without the appearance of any
reddish tinge in the transitional
area.
The new corona, to which the
name Of Bishops ring" has been
given after it's first observer, has
never been very conspicuous af-
fair, and therefore has not attracted
the popular attention that it de-
serves; but it could easily be seen
every clear day last winter, and has
repeatedly been noticed since then
in the latter months of 1885,

SHAKING HANDS.

SHAKING HANDS.
The hand | shook today
Was warm and sweet;
And charming every way
For one to greet.
How differently we feel,
When hands are shook;
TO some we almost kneel,
With Godward look!
And others send a chill,
AS If from ice;
Some have grip to kill,
As in wise.
And hands we shake which tell
What tongues and lips
Could ne'er express so well,
OF earth's hardships.
A hand there is that darts
Both to and fro,
And shakes by fits and starts,
Possessed to go.
And the hypocrite's hand,
Whoever shakes,
Must surely understand
The touch of snakes.
There is n hand that crooks,
AS hard to squeeze
AS 'twere a fist of hooks,
Or bunch of keys.
The conventional hand
Which shakes by rule,
In all the dignity
Ii learnt at school.
Some lovely hands there are
That thrill us so,
We think heaven isn't far
For MS to go.
The hand that got astray
For to shake,
And which we shook to-day,
For loves own sake,
Was n rapturOus thing,
And nothing less
Than sample angels bring
Of Gods caress.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. lS-Dr. Dab
ney, of the pension office. who has been the
subject of considerable newspaper comment,
has evidently oVerreached himself, He was
charged with having bsen prison guard at
Andersonvile. In reply to this accusation
be wrote letter to Commissioner Black in
which he said that the story was untrue, as
he was only fifteen years old at the time of
the war; that he did not belong to the Con
federate army, and that he never fired gun
at any one 1t is now said that there are at
least four affidavits from persons who claim
to have heard DR.. Dabney boast that he was
one of the youngest men who carried a mus
ket in the war and that he was so young that
he was not allowed to go to the front, but
was kept rs guard for prisoners. There are
also aliidavits from persons who knew him
in the service which completely contradict
lis statements TO Gen. Black.

That rheumatism and neuralgia are SO

that these diseases are not only the most
