The Great Lick Telescope.

In three weeks time the Lick observ-
atory on Mount Hamilton will be fin
ished. In commenting on it the San
Francisco Call says: All hat now re-
mains to be done is to place the large
hydraulic rams for lifting the floor into
position. To complete this work six
men from the Union Iron Works leave
to-day for the observatory, and they will
work st%renuously to have it completed
even before the time specified. AS soon
as the floor is in perfect working order
the regents of the state university will
accept the observatory. They are 60
ing there this week to inspect the ma
chinery, buildings, and instruments be-
fore receiving them from the Lick
Trust. They are -four rams to be erected.
The are similar to those used in ordin-
airy elevators, but are made telescope,
SO that no boring in the rock underneath
is required for them. Automatic valves
will work them, and this device, it is
believed, will leave nc room for danger
from accidents. The immense floor to
be lifted by these rams weigh between
fifteen and twenty tons. The frame
work for it is of steel sections riveted
together and covered with boarding
On it will stand the astronomer when
he uses the great telescope to look at
the heavens.

The Quarrel of Hill and Stephens.

Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution: |
was discoursing with an old Georgian
to-day, schOol-mate whom | had not
seen for forty years. and | let him do
most all the talking and could read his
emotions as he spoke of his old home,
Judge Bull, and Bingham, and Bacon
and Ridley. He said he was in. the
courthouse at La Grange and Ben Hill
was sitting near him, when Thomas w.
Thomas came in and handed Mr.. Hill n
letter. That letter contained a chal-
lenge from Alex. Stephens to fight q
duel. Mr.. Hill read it, but did not eX-
hibit the slightest embarrassment OR eX-
cltement. He was engaged in the case
at the bar, and, putting the letter in his
pocket, attended to the CASE and made
an admirable argument and gained the
case. Then he took my friend by the
his office. There he showed him the
challenge and remarked: "Of course
l will mott cannot fight Mr.. Steph-
ems. My whole nature is shocked
at it. 1t is a horrible ~barbarity and
proves nothing. l will decline and pub
lish my reasons" The next morning
he showed his reply to my friend. It
was copied and approved by him and
some other personal friends; both
wings and democrats endorsed 1t heart
lily. That whitening reply-that unan-
swerable rebuke is still fresh in the
memories of Georgians, and did more to
abolish the code of honor than has been
done in a century. Mr.. Stephens pub
lished Mr.. Hill as a coward, but it
amounted to nothing. Mr.. Hill con-
tinued to advance in popularity and lost
nothing in friends or o Mr..
Stephens had in a public speech spoken
of the known-nothing party leaders as
traitors to their country, and Mr.. Hill
replied by saying that the parallel was
on the other side; that the wing party
had for many years showered its honors
and its favors upon Mr.. Stephens, and
now he had turned from it and betrayed
it like Judas Iscariot did his Lord and
Master,and the only difference was that
Judas repented and hanged himself;
but he was sorry to say that Mr..
Stephens was still u~nrepentant and un-
hanged. For this language MI. Ste
phens challenged him.

and closed a shade to sc lower. The market
was weaker on light hogs while the better
grades of heavy hogs held up more nearly
steady.

A LIVE sToCR.


Wednesday, May 2, 1888.
The receipts OF cattle to-day fell short OF
yesterdays receipts by about 700 head. The
majority of the buyers made heavy purchases
yesterday and they did not require as many
cattle to-day. For this reason the market
was hardly as brisk as yesterday but about
all the cattle offered on sale were taken.
The market was q little easier than yester-
day and statesmen found it difficult to obtain
yesterdays prices unless it might be on
something very desirable. The general quail
iy Of the cattle was not very extra and sales
men complained of the scarcity of neat, tidy
cattle.
