The Battle of G Gettysburg.


We beg leave to advise our read
ers to be sure and not forget to see
the Panorama of the Battle of Get
tysburg, while in Chicago during
the Exposition. Take advantage of
the low rates and see Gettysburg.
Perhaps there is no place in Chi
cage where an hour can be spent
more proftably than at the PIANO.
rama of the Battle of Gettysburg,
the fame of which has spread all
over the west. From early morn
until nearly midnight visitors go in
and linger as they gaze at the land
scape spread out before them, and
then examine the details of "battle's
magniticently stern array" por-
trayed with marvellous fidelity
and startingly real. There is no
picture in the world like this of Get
tysburg. No other panorama pre-
sents such a sweep of country, and
no other presents nature arrayed in
the garb of summer, with the sum
mer sun producing the innumerable
tints and the light and shade that
lend to the scene a charm that is
wanting in other paintings of this
kind.

Gold Mine Almost at the Mint.

An important transaction was closed
a week or two ago which promised to
develop a gOod-sized town within few
miles from Washington, where there Is
now nothing but poorly cultivated
farms. A year ago a Georgia miner
named Kirk discovered indications of
gOld-bearing quartz on the Potomac,
about fifteen miles above Washington,
and at once begun prospecting for the
mineral. He had little money of his
own, but induced a relative, by marriage,
named Clark to advance him enough to
carry on his Investigations. The two
then secured an option on the farm
where the quartz lay and began opera
tiOns on a small scale. They sunk sew
eral shafts and took up several tons of
rock. Then Clark induced Senator
Sawyer of Wisconsin to put up enough
money to test the value of the find.
Senator Sawyer advanced about 3, 600.
The rock was tested and shown to be
exceedingly rich Later the senator
bought the option of these men, giving
them small amount in cash and a GER
tain interest IN the property to go into
mining on a large scale. Within afew
days he has bought out the interests of
these parties and has secured deeds to
the property. Altogether Senator
Sawyer has invested about $50, 600 in
lands which for agricultural purposes,
are not worth more than 81, 900 or
| IS. 900. Clark and Kirk have comfort
able bank accounts, and Senator Saw
yer is understood to have ordered a half
| million feet of lumber from his western
mills for the purpose of erecting the
/ necessary buildings to carry on eXten-
/ sive mining operations, as well as for
/ shelter for the men whom he expects to
employ. There are said to be three
rich gold-bearing veins of quartz on the
/ Maryland bank of the Potomac, one OF
which passes through the Sawyer prop
erty. The other veins have been traced
/ for more than mile, and the quartz
which has been taken out has proved
to be Of great value.

by no means certain that we keep the

Russians keep their Christmas Day
about twelve days later than we do. j
VIII make q suggestion that / think
VIII be approved by both clergymen
and laymen, namely, that the religious
festival be observed on the Sunday
next before the winter sOlstice, and the
next day be made a legal holiday for
social festivities. A very much larger
proportion of the people would be at
liberty to attend church on the Sun
day, and extra efforts would be made
to make It Joyous and impressive re-
igiOus festival If the Sunday argu-
ment be deemed of insufficient weight,
another good agument would be to
make the day on which the winter sol
stice occurs Christmas Day, thus bring
ing the religious festival of Christmas
and the secular festival of New Years
Day close together; which would be a
great convenience to all business men.
Many reasons might be assigned as
to why the next day after the winter
sOlstice should be named New Years
Day. Taking the winter solstice as a
starting point, the earth marks the
length of its own year by one revOlu-
ton around the sun, completing the
journey on arrival at the next winter
sOlstice. The earth and the sun, and
the lights in the armament of heaven,
will In obedience to the laws of their
great creator, unweariedly mark the
signs" and seasons" and the days"
and the years" Is it not time we
should acquiesce and let them give us
a perpetual and simple lesson in as
trOnOmy?
The adoption of the rule suggested
would involve about the same change
the old to the new style, namely, about
ten days; so that, for instance, the
glorious Fourth would occur on July
a This change may be thought too
sweeping, but it would be a correct
one and last forever.
Very respectfully,

The Calendar Year.

Jefferson City correspondence Globe
Democrat: If it is ever considered de-
sirabIe to make our calendar year coin
eide with the astronomical year there
is a very simple rule to carry it into
effect and it may interest the numer-
Gus reader of the GlObe-Democrat to
know what it is like. It is this:
Let the next day after each winter
solstice be New Years day, and in
variably designated as the 1st day of
January. This rule carried out with
out exception would of itself neces-
state the addition of one day to the
ordinary year, when necessary, and
only when necessary. The addi-
ton of one day to every fourth year
is too much by eleven minutes and
fourteen seconds per annun, and this
extra addition amounts to a whole day
In about 12S years. A leap year has
then to be dispensed with in order to
correct the over additions. Already
it is a mooted question as to whether
the wear 1900 fa1though divisible by
four without a remainder) should be
reduced to an ordinary year of 365 days,
and probably it may have to be settled
bv international action. The simple
rule indicated above would solve the
question for all time, as the addition viii
| never be made when not necessary.
The additional day, when necessary,
should be added to the end of the year,
making 1t the 366th day, but to avoid
! giving the month of December thirty
| two DAYS the length of each month
