She Dispatches . Ferocious Panther In
tho Wiids OF Texas.
The wife Of Morris Kapper. q ranch.
man owning an extensive place near
here, says letter from Harold, Tex,
had an adventure with large female
panther, in which the lady succeeded in
killing the animal with o hoe. Her
husband had requested her on leaving
the house at dinner to send him some
medicine, which he was taking at regu-
lar intervals, whom these intervals CO.
CURED, which she did, dispatching her
son, boy of nine or ten, to his father,
who was employed in his vegetable
garden, situated about three hundred
feet from the house. Her second child, Q
little girl OF three, begged several times
togo instead OF her brother, so in the cool
Of the evening Mrs. Kapper, to crafty
the child, sent her instead with the
medicine.
The mother afterward following the
trail, which was perfectly distinct, soon
came upon panther dragging the
child by its little dress along the
ground, but the weight prevented the
animal from going faster than walk;
so, without its detecting her sho ran
back and caught up the hoe that her
husband had left in the garden and re-.
turned. The panther had then dropped
the child, but was still standing over it,
and on seeing Mrs. Kapper began to
suarl, showing its pointed teeth.
She ran up to 1t, when it again seized
Its prey in its teeth, but tho heroic ladv
tore her child from its grasp, and put
ting 1t behind her, met the panther as
1t rushed at her, infuriated at the loss
OF Its booty, with blow of the hoe,
which missing the head, yet severed its
left ear from 1t. The panther paused
in its attack on her and began to try
and reach the wound with Its mouth,
screaming and tearing up the earth.
Mrs. Kapper then brought tho hoe down
on Its head with such force as to crush
its skull, and the next moment the an
imal lay dead ct her feet

III An Advocate Against Ills WILL

a. a Senator Gorman's advice to the Dem
\ ocratic editors OF Maryland to oppose
4 ballot reform, is making trouble In the
I. ranks OF the Baltimore Democracy, and
s the trouble bids fair TO spread outside o.

/ election the business men were appealed
4 to in behalf OF tho regular organization,
then seriously threatened by the indie.

Y business men pledged the party to bal.
sslot reform. The Democratic City Con.
syention did the same.
III These pledges did very much TO pre-
serve Democratic h ascendancy in a
city whose elections are % always
IA fraud and therefore a farce.

The Number of the stars.

PROF. E. s. Holden in The Century,
The total number OF stars one can see
will depend very largely upon the clear
ness OF the atmosphere and the keenness
OF the eye. There are in the whole ce-
lestial sphere about 0, 900 stars visible to
IN ordinary good eye. OF these, how
ever, we Can never see more than frac-
ton ut any one time, because a half Of
the sphere is always below the horizon.
II we could see, star as easily III
the horizon as in +, the zenith, Il a
half OF the whole number, or 5000,
would r be visible y on any: clear
night. But stars near the horizon are
seen through so great u thickness OF
atmosphere as greatly to obscure their
light, and only the brightest ones csin
there be seen. AS n result OF this ob-
scuration, it is not likely that more tian
1000 stars can ever be taken in ut a single
view by any ordinary eye. About 1000
other stars are 80 near th6 South Pole
that they never; rise in our ATTITUDES.
Hence, out OF 1000 supposed to be visi-
Bile, only 1000 ever come within the
range Of our vision, unless we make a
journey towards the equator. !.
AS telescope power is increased, we
still find stars Of fainter and fainter
light. But the number cannot 70 on in.
creasing forever in the same ratio MS
with the brighter hagnitudes, because if
it did the whole sky. would be q blaze Of
starlight. If Telescopes with powers far
exceeding our; present ones were made,
they would no doubt show new, stars OF
the twentieth and twenty.frst, ETC., mag.
nitudes. But it is highly, probable that
the number OF such successive order OF
stars would not increase in the same ra-
ito as is observed inIthe eighth, ninth
and tenth magnitudes, for example.
r. The enormous labor OF estimating the
number OF stars Of such Glasses will long
prevent the accumulation OF statistics
on this question but this much is GER
tain, that in special regions oil the sky,
which have been searchingly examined
by various telescopes OF successively;in.
creasing aperturesJ the number OF new
stars found is by no means in proportion
to 2 the increased instrumental power.
II this is found 10 be true elsewhere, the
conclusion may be that, after ell; the
stellar system can be experimentally
shown to be OF finite extent, and to con-
tain only finite number OF stars. ;73,
In the whole sky an average eye will
see about 5000 stars, as l have just said.
With telescope this number is greatly
increased, and the most powerful tele:
scopes Of modern times will show; more
than 10000, 900 stars. OF this number,
not one out, OF one hundred has ever
been catalogued at all. In all, 3l4,02G
stars, from the first to the ninth and a
half magnitude, are contained in the
northern, sky, or about 100000 in both
hemispheres. All of these can be seen
with a three.inch object glass. a
