Private Hamlin.

a
man at the Union League Club ban
quet, that Hannibal Hamlin once
served this government in a dual ca
pacity, holding position near the top
of the ladder and another near the bot
tom at one and the same time?"
The reporter admitted that he had
never heard of the incident.
We'll, he did, said the club man.
While he was Nice-President of the
United States he served for a time as
private in the volunteer army. Queer
idea, wasn't it? I'll tell you how it
happened
"You see, he was an honorary member
of little company of militia in Baugoc,
Me-. and when Lincoln issued his call
for troops, it promptly responded and
came to Washington. There IL was
ordered TO the navy yard to do guard
duty, and to the surprise of every one
Mr. Hamlin announced his intention TO
go with it. The officers rather rebelled
at the idea of having a Vice-President
under them. but Mr. Hamlin was de-
termined
Why not 2 he asked If I'm q good
enough man TO be an honorary member
of the company, L guess ! am good
enough TO be private.
And he shouldered a gun and went
with them. Well. at the navy yard
there were, of course, more compiler
tons. The officers decided that it would
not do to put the distinguished private
on guard duty, but he objected again,
and pertinently inquired:
What am ! here for-to look
pretty?'
And the result was that he marched
up and down as q sentinel in his regular
turn. Odd. wasn't l.? Imagine the
Vice President of the United States re-
ceiving orders from u sergeant of mil
tia company.
"Then when the company was mus
tered out he was offered the regular
pay of private for the time he was at
the navy yard, but declined to ac-
cept it.
'Why?' he was asked. You served
with tie rest of us.
We'll, he said, i don't think it's
right for a man TO draw pay twice from
the government, and taking all things
into consideration. believe I'll rather
draw the Nice-Presldent's salary.
EARLY in the century experimenters
tried to magnetic iron and steel by
the action of light, but such a thing
has since come to be regarded as i'm
possible. Prof. Shelford Bidwell
thinks, however that some evidence of
the action of radiation upon the mag
netism of the iron should be found, and
he is seeking it. A soft iron rod mag
netized and then demagnetized is
known to have undergone some mys-
FERROUS change of structure, making it
peculiarly susceptible to magnetic in
fluences an one direction. 1t appears
also TO be remarkably sensitive to
illumination, and in Mr.. Bidwell's pre-
liminary researches the magnetometer
has seemed to indicate that the effects
may be not entirely due to heat, but
partially to the light rays.

THE EARTH'S MOTIONS.

The Pr0ceSol0n OF tho EQuln0x0s and 9th
or Astr0nemical Phenomena.
The earth revolves on her axis in TWEEN
ty-three hours, fifty-six minutes and four
seconds. This time is required for n 70
tation from q star round to the same star
again. The revolution is therefore called
q sidereal day. While the earth has been
turning on her axis she has been advanc-
ing in her orbit, and it will take her four
minutes on the average to come to the same
position in regard TO the sun; thus, adding
four minutes to the length Of the siderea;
day, gives twenty-four hours for the solar
day.
The time Of the axial rotation has not W
ried the h%undredth part of . second IN two
thousand years. 1t may, therefore, be con-
sidered as invariable, and il consequently
adopted as q fundamental unit in astro-
nomical measurement.
The earth revolves in her orbit around the
sun in $3.50 days, giving another standard
measure Of time, the length Of the year..
The velocity of the earth in her orbit is IL
most incomprehensible, for the huge sphere
spins along at the average rate Of eighteen
miles in Q second. The earth's orbital e
luton and the inclination Of her axis to the
plane Of the ecliptic aus the changes Of
the seasons and the varying length Of day
and night.
The earth has Q more complicated motioO
known as the procession Of the e~quinoxes.
Il consists of q wabbling motion Of the pole
Of the heavens around the pole Of the
ecliptic in small circle requiring twenty.
five thousand years to complete. ltiscsuseA
by the attraction Of the sun and moon upoB
the earth at the equator. Consequently,
ecliptic and equator do not cross at 1.-THE same
point, but the eq~uinoctial falls back each
year fifty seconds Of adegree.
One effect Of this movement is to change
the polar star, tor to whatever part Of the
heavens the pole points, the nearest star te
that point is the polar star. The present
polar star will no longer enjoy that dis
tinction three thousand years hence, ant
the brilliant Vega will be the polar sts1
twelve thousand years hence.
The earth Is moving through space. Tha
sun, carrying with him the planets, ;satel-
lites, comets and meteoric bodies following
in his train. is Fastening towards Q point In
tho constellation Hercules ut the rapid pacs
Of twenty thousand miles an hour.
II might seem that, travelling at this rate.
the goal must so0n be reached. Such, how
ever, is the inconceivable distance Of the
stars that more thar q million years must
pass before our sun and his family, at their
present rate Of travel have spanned the
of space that intervene between
their present position and the shining u ~

The following anecdote il told to illus
trate the readiness with which Partisan
fashions are adopted, even by the most
rigidly patriotic Of Processes. At the
epoch Of the arrival Of Queen Victoria In
Paris in 1856, on q visit to the Emperor and
Empress. the latter had just brought hoped
skirts into vogue. The Queen forthwith
sent her messenger to purchase a for
her, and on her next approach before her
Imperial host and hostess her skirts were
expanded into the new and fashionable
amplitude. But her Majesty had not COM
pretended tho necessary methods Of tying
the tapes that held the hoops in place, and
her crinoline presented an extraordinary
and shapeless aspect. It was the Emperor
himself who, with his own imperial hands,
set the rebellious petticoats 70 rights, and
rave his royal guest q lesson as to the
proper method Of douning the new-fash-
toned adjunct Of feminine costume.

TIE COLON CASE

DR.. Talman, of Chicago, the state eX-
pert who was on the stand at the ad-
journment of the COLON case last even
ing. and who will resume his testimony
this morning, is microscopic expert of
great renown, and has been witness in
a great many cases, including a number
of murder trials. where he was called
upon to decide whether samples of
blood were human or animal. He is
a ready witness, and has his sub
ject in full command, so that his
answers came quickly without heSita-
ton. The efforts of the defense to con-
fuse and wind him up on the cross-eX-
animation were Sapt remarkably sue
cessfGl. On the Whole, he was good
witness.
1t is limited that the theory of the de-
questions put to MIR. Anderson regard
ing conspiracy between Mr.. COLON
and himself. by which the latter
was to claim that the Blaisdell
signatures are forgery, and then force
a settlement with the creditors at so
cents on the dollar,waS only feint, and
that the real defense Is yet held in abey-
ance. This is, of course, matter of
mere speculation, but there is no doubt
that the fight will be bitter one to the
end.
All talk about Mr.. COLON being nerv-
Gus and carewOrn is nonsense. He pre-
serves his equanimity and GOODNESS to a
remarkable degree. Apparently there
has been no change in his demeanOr
since the commencement of the trial.
If the jury should convict the defend
ant it can be safely predicted that the
case will be taken to the supreme court.
The defense already has in sufficient
exceptions to secure this result.

COMMITTEES DAY.
The Aldermen Meet and FOrmu'

The Aldermen Meet and FOrmu-
late Reports for the Council.
The committee on fire department APP
proved bills for supplies amounting to
-, 7O2. and the pay rolls Of the different
companies. amounting to s15.562.l7.
The committee on gas had number of
petitions for gas lamps befOr it. Some
of the petitioners wanted lamps
out on the prairie half mile from the
nearest house. Chairman Smith and
the committee WreStled with the petit
tions for over an hour, and then re-
feTred all the petitions to a SubcOmmlt-
tee, consisting of Aids. Loye and Vogh,
for consideration. Whatever the sub
committee will recommend will be re-
ported to the council. After the work
house committee had audited the regu-
lar monthly budget of bills they in
Spected the Institution and found IL In
excellent condition. The question as to
how the inmates should be employed
during the coming winter was per
picking one. 1t was finally decided,
however, to make the inmates pound
rock during the pleasant days, and the
vags and DRINKS who are sent up from
the municipal court will find employ
nenC IN opening tOIlittH ave
nue. north between Second and
Lyndale. The committee on print
ing are in favor of the retrench-
ment and reform promised by the ad-
ministratiOn, and in fuTtheTance of that
promise have agreed to recommend that
hereafter all the annual reports of the
different departments shall be printed
in one book. If this scheme is
adopted the cost of binding will
be reduced, but the cost of printing
will remain about the same. The COM
mittee Oh health and hospitals met to
open bids for the removal of dead ami
mails. AS there were no bids TO con-
slider, they spent the afternoon in APP
proving bills amounting to about $1,000
for the health department, and others
amounting to about 500 for the hUSpi-
tails. As the stock yards company had
refused to receive any more dead ami
mails from the city, DR.. Kilvington
stated that he had made temporary ar
engagements with Mcmillan & Co. to re-
eeiVe the animals until some one would
come forward and contract to dispose of
them.
