rRANoLoaY FoR MARcH.

The programme of Moons phases for
March is new Moon, 9th, 5.O4 p. m. first
quarter, 18th, SIT a. m. full Moon, 10th,
1l.36 p. m. last quarter, 27th, 5.44 a. m.
In some more favored localities the Moon
will occult the planets Jupiter and Uranus
on the morning OF the Goth. To us, as WIS
the case during January and February, the
approaches will be close coniunctions so far
as Jupiter Is concerned, the Moon at 239
u, m. passing within 10 minutes of this
Jumbo OF our solar system. In February the
distance was minutes; in January II
minutes. In April and May the Moon will
sheer off q little, but in June our turn will
come to witness an occultation, which, how
ever, will occur in daylight. On the after
noon of March 9th the new Moon will be
within minutes of Mercury, but this con
junction will of course be invisible. The
other March conjunctions are; With Venus,
Bird, sos p. M, planet g. lin, north; Nep-
| tune, 18th, 1.49 a. M, planet 80 15m. north
Saturn, 18th, Ills p. M, planet A. 27m
| north Mars, 18th, S.3l p. M, planet AZ 81
m. north; Uranus, Goth, 1927 n. M, planet
| + 15m. south; Venus again, 31st, 2.3s p. M.
| planet II 52m, north.
There will be an annular eclipse of the
Sun on March 9Th, invisible here for several
reasons, a sufficient one being that the Sur
| will set minute or two before the eclipse
begins. The central path of the eclipse
| along which the whole Of the Sun except .
small circumferential ring will be hidden
begins with the rising Sun tinting the
easternmost cape Of New Guinea, crosses IL
an EN-. L. direction the Pacific ocean and
the Mexican states and ends with the set
| ting Sun In the Gulf of Mexico directly
| south of New Orleans.
At II O'Clock on the morning Of the 20tt
the Sun enters the sign Aries, and spring
begins. About this time look out for equi
| noctial storms.
Mercury is on the evening list during
March, and will reach his greatest eastern
elongation, 1872, 40m., on the 21st. About
this date and for few evenings thereafter
| 1t Is probable that this planet will be readily
visible to the naked eye. The telescope
| will show his disc at elongation to be nearly
the shape of half Moon.
Venus, which a month ago CLEANED SC
brightly in the evening sky, has now gotten
around to the morning side Of the Sun and
rises about an hour ahead OF that luminary
Her crescent is now exceedingly slender
less than one-twentieth of her disc being
illuminated. She will grow in brillianey
until the 26th, on which date she rises "a
| hours before the Sun and exhibits disc
one-fourth part illuminated. About that
time she will brighten enough to enable the
early riser who keeps his eye on her to
keep track Of her for some time after tho

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.


New York Star, February 9th.
Our orbicular contemporary, the Sun,
does not always retain its characteristic
luminosity. 1t yesterday admitted to its
flaming columns writer who was both
ignorant and dull. His dullness is i'm
pervious to our correction, but we do
think we can produce an effect upon his
ignorance.
He says there are 1850 holders of
civil Office under the Federal government,
and the administration has displaced only
beggarly or 10 per cent of them. Ten
per cent would be 12,5O0. But up to the
LIST OF January the administration has aI)-
pointed $4,000 fourth-class postmasters,
besides foreign ministers, consuls, trea-
sury officials, marshals, district attorneys,
postmasters of other grades, employees OF
the interior department, all in consider
able number.
The Suns misinformed correspondent
complains of the slowness with which the
work of removal has gone on. Let us see
The administration was inaugurated the
4th of March last. We will allow il 30
days to prepare for work. From the Sd
of April to the LIST of January there were
222 working days, during which $1,000
| fourth-class postmasters were removed
and others appointed in their places
This is at the rate of 81 day, and giving
10 hours to the day, at the rate of about
| seven an hour-or a removal and an ap
pointment for every nine minutes of time
The Sun whirls through space at sucf
a breakneck speed that the progress W.
have described seems to it like standing
still. But to our Star, it being fxel
star standing firm, immovable and stead
fast at the very zenith of the Demo
cratic armament, the administration
seems to be going on at an excellent ant
inspiring gait.

Sun has risen. Venus will remain con-
spicuous ornament Of tho morning sky until
after her greatest western elongation In
May.
Mars rises about $50 p. M, followed an
hour or 30 later by Jupiter, and the two
being nearly at their best carry of the
honors In clarifying the evening sky. Mars
Is Just entering the constellation Leo and
willtravel about one-third of the way across
the same during the month. The casual
observer may recognize him by his deep
ruddy color. He reaches opposition to the
Sun on the 9th, shining then the whole
night long. His disc now measures 10
seconds and Is well worth looking at in a
| good telescope. The most conspicuous
object thereon, the south polar ice cap, is
readily brought out by even small instru-
| ment. After passing opposition he will
| again decline In brillianey, but the diminu-
| ton through March will be barely appre-
ciable to the unalded eye.
Jupiter reaches opposition on the 21st,
| fifteen days behind Mars. His glowing
/ elliptical disc now measures AZ seconds In
/ It's shorter polar diameter making u grand
| display under the high magnifying powers
| of large telescopes. Two large belts with
| irregular edges, which cross what may be
| designated as his tropical zone can be made
| out with almost any telescope. On the
| night OF the Sd he will be quite close to the
| du UtSNltuue Stut EUi Virgins.
Saturn Is near the star Eta Geminorum
/ and ris IS now about half an huurafter noon
coming 10 the meridian nearly an hour after
sunset. His ling system has passed its best
but he is still well placed for observation In
tho early evening hours. A glance at him
through an 81-inch Brashear rejecting tele.
| scope on last Wednesday night showed his
| disc crossed by several faint parallel belts
| the shadow of the ball on his rings exhib-
i tied a convex curvature on the inner ring
| changing to n slanting direction on the
outer; the Grape ring and Balls division
were easily seen, and five satellites, Japetus,
| Titan, Rhea, Dione and Tethys were visible.
/ Uranus is In the left breast of Virgo and
rises about 7.45 p. M, some 15 minutes later
than Jupiter. The latter planet passed the
former on January oath. Uranus reaches
/ opposition on the 26th five days behind his
| larger brother. Hence Uranus is also ex-
/ eellently placed for observation and may
| possibly be visible to the naked eye on ex-
| eeptionally favorable nights. In the tele-
scope he presents, under magnifying
| power of from 100 to 100, well-defned
| blue disc. but it takes superior instrument
| to show any OF his four satellites.
Neptune is in the neck of Taurus and
rises now about 10 a. m. He Is conse-
| quently unfavorably placed and only the
| finest telescopes can do anything worthy of
| notice with him at the best of times. In u
small instrument his green disc is i'll

Didn't Ask the Old NIan.


The residents OF Church Hill were much
surprised ON Thursday morning last, when
they were informed that a marriage cere-
mony had been performed In their midst on
the evening previous. The contracting par
ties were j. G.. Cosden and Miss Fannie
Garrett. The groom drove to the residence
OF the BRIDES parents on Wednesday even
Ing, and took the lady out for drive.
They repaired to the residence of the Rev,
Mr.. o'Neill, at Church Hill, and were there
united in holy wedlock by that gentle-
man.. The groom had often heard his pro-
speetive father in-law assert that t'he
would never ask lady's parents consent TO
marriage with their daughther;" conse-
quently, having great respect for the ideas
OF that gentleman, he determined to pursue
the same Lille OF action MIR, Cosden re-
quested gentleman friend to accompany
him as witness, which the friend CONSENTED
to do, but when the ceremony was being
performed, his courage failed him, and he
sought refuge behind the friendly shelter
OF neighboring barn. The couple, when
they repaired to the BRIDES residence. In
formed her parents of their action, and
when matters were explained were forgiven
and congratulated.
