THE RED SUNSETS OF 1SS3.-The
long looked for report of the Scientific
commission, which investigated the
great volcanic eruption of Krakotoa
in 1888, has at last made its appear.
anee, and it seems strongly to confirm
the theory that the famous "red sun.
sets y of that time were caused by the
canopy of dust aud steam thrown IN
by the tremendous convulsion of ma.
ture. So great was the explosion Of
the burning mountain that the noise
was heard over one-thirteenth Of the
total surface of the earth. At Bata.
vie, thirty miles away, buildings
we're wrecked by the conclusion. In
Ceylon, 1000 miles away, sound as of
heavy guns was heard. At Rodri.
guez nearly 5000 miles away, it was
distinctly heard, like the roar Of dis.
tant artillery. The sea wave, caused
by the upheayal, was perceived as far
away as the English Channel, while
great atmospheric wave swept three
times from Krakutoa to the antipodes
and back again. Fully one and one.
eighth cubic miles of rock were hurl.
ed into the air, some fragments reach.
ing height of thirty.one miles, while
an incidentally vast cloud of dust and
vapor filed the air at height offrom
seventeen to twenty-three miles. 1t
is not difficult to believe that enough
of this dust and vapor was waited to
this side of the world to produce the
beautiful phenomena that were the
wonder and delight of every observer
of the sunsets.-NeiC York Tribune.

TWO MEASURES OF A GENTLEMAN.

English gentlemen of four hun.
dIed years ago considered the pur
suit of literature, art, aud science
unworthy of any OF their class
which was expected to live solelv
for sport. American gentlmen land

the same opinion with regard to an
mechanical pursuits. Are such no.
lions a whit less childish than those
of four hundred years agoG | think
they are even more so; for a man
may be a gentleman without scholar.

being able to earn his living by his
own labor. The truth is, while we
fiatter our vanity with the notion
that VIC are an enlightened people
on the ground that we have a form
of government and certain mecban.

CONDITIONAL L0CALS.H

The most pleasant and enjoyable
Private Ball that Martinsburg has
known for many days was held under
the auspices of the b. of l.. E., on last
Tuesday, in the commodious AGA
denny of Music, owned by Jno Fellers,
who displayed an eye for the comfort
of the gay and pleasant in the architec-
ture of such a building, so well suited
for all social gatherings. AT an early
time in the evening the guests were
seen fiocking from all directions to
the amount of about 500, anticipating
a joyous time on the Light Fantastic,
and determined to do justice to the
bountiful supper that was under the
management of a committee ofladies,
who displayed such elegant taste in
the arrangement of the table and
viands. that one would suppose they
were regular connoisseurs, and must
say that the committee deserves our
sincere thanks for the patience and de-
termination they showed in making
us all welcome, and have good time.
Particularly the door keeper who was
determined that no one should pass
without ticket. 1T seems almost lm-
possible that ladies could have so well
pleased such an immense crowd. At
about $3.50 p. m. the orchestra struck
up the grand march, when Mr.. III.
Walzer with Miss Dora Lowman, as
sisted by Mr.. w. w. Westfall with
Miss Ella Haley, showed the guests
that they were not novices in the art
of leading and generating the compli-
cations and difficulties of the ball
room. After the guests had departed
about $3.50 a. M, there were found
quite quantity of the necessities that
are SO essential to good supper was
left,which was given over to the ladies
who ever ready for charity, distribu-
ted among the deserving poor.

The completion of the great
bridge of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad over the Ohio River at
Cincinnati concludes one of the
greatest feats in bridge building
ever accomplished. The cost Of
this structure is placed at S5,O00,0OO.
Ground was broken for the first
caison in June, 1887, and work 10
iron begun in March, 1888. Aug
ust Goth, the false work under the
uDcompleted channel span was
swept away by flood. or the 8.
100000 pounds Of iron necessary for
that span 100000 pounds went to
the bottom Of the river, aud still lies
there. The iron with which the loss
had been replaced was in muck bar
but one grade above pig iron. or
the 1000, 900 feet of timber, board
measure, necessary to replace the
wreck, only 100000 feet were on
hand. The other million feet were
on the stump in Georgia, one thous
and miles away. And yet, on Sun
day, Oct, Sth, 1888, sixty.three days
after, the span-thc longest Of the
kind IN the world Ivy twentytbreo
feet-was finished, aud Christmas
Day heavy train ran over the
structure g from earth to earthn-the
four hundred and ninety foot span
on the Ohio side and all the ap.
proaches having been completed in
fifty eight additional days.

4 MAN WITHOUT AN ANCESTRY.

AS soon as the American negro
seeks to rise above the level of the
former time, he finds himself cou.
fronted with the past of his race and
the woes of his kindred. The white
man traces his ancestry back for
generations; knows whence they
came; where they lived; and guesses
what they did. To the American
negro, the past is only darkness re-
plete with unimagluable horrors.
Ancestors he has none. Until with
in quarter OF a century he had no
record OF his kindred. He had no
father, no mother-only a sire and
dam. Being bred for market, be
had no name, only a distinguishing
appellativc, like thaG OF horse or
dog. Even in comparison with
these animals, he was at disad
vantage; there was no "herdbook
of slaves. The remembrance of this
condition is not pleasant and can
never become so. 1t is exasperating,
CALLING. degrading. Every freed.
mans life is colored by the shadow.
Thus the life Of the negro, as a slave,
freedman, and racial outcast, offers
undoubtedly the richest mine of TO-
mantle material that has opened to
the English speaking novelist since
the Wizard of the North discovered
and depicted the common life OF
Scotland. The negro as man has
an immense advantage over the ne
gro as a servant, bciDgan altogether
new character in fiction.-A W.
TOuygee in the Dec. Forum.
