Our only astronomical phenomenon for
this week worthy of note will be con-
junction of the planet Saturn with the
moon on Friday morning, the 10th. The
planet rises between and O'Clock In
the morning, consequently persons desir-
Gus of locating him will have to be I'D
before daylight on that morning. He
cannot now be seen in the evening.
Saturn is the sixth planet reckoning
out from the sun. His diameter is ~, 900
miles, being the next largest planet to
Jupiter, which is the largest in our sys-
tenn. His distance from the sun Is COM
puted at s72 ZOO, 200 miles. He has a

liant rings which hang around him, one
outside the other. The distance from
the planet, of the inner ring, is about
80, 900 miles. These rings cannot be seen
with the naked eye. At present Saturn
appears only as a small star, being far
away from us and in q very unfayorable
position for observation.

that thoy are dyspeptic, but that's
what ails them, though they
may be only very slightly dys-

Mr.. John M. Lewis, of Talladega,
Ala, year ago began a bit Of work
in practical education which will,
withouta doubt, bear good fruit.
On the first Of January 1889, he is
sued an invitation to the boys of that
town between s and IL years of age
to call at his Office. To each he gave
So and pocket knife, after which
he invited them to a lunch. He
then offered three cash prizes to the
boys who should add the most to
their IS. On the first day of this
month sixty boys were again invited
to his Office and SO and a knife were
again given each. Nearly all had
added to the original So and the boy
who got the first prize, $40, had on
hand S138. With early ideas Of
thrift thus instilled, Talladega will
show up with a large number OF rich
men amoug the coming generation.

SISTERS WIN A roRTuxE.
From the New York World.

Mary Anne and Ellen Frances
Dougherty, two Irish girls in the
employ of Barbour Bros, thread
manufacturers Of Paterson, have de-
posted with that firm $4,000, every
penny OF which has been saved from
their earnings. The girls came to
this country nineteen years ago and
found work in the mill, where they
have been ever since. The condi.
tons under which this money has
been accumulated are remarkable,
since they show the hardship i'm.
posed by labor and endured by wo-
men laborers. ........4..--.
Few American girls cyuld have
stood the ordeal. Employed in the
wet spinning-room, where the mois-
ture under foot and the steam heat
overhead made it necessary, for COM
fort and convenience, to dispense
with all superfuous clothing, they
worked without shoes or stockings,
wearing a low-necked and sleeveless
dress from one years end to. the
other. In this unsightly garb the
expense of clothing was reduced to
minimum, half of the twenty-four
hours being spent in the mill. y-ry

An Cnlucky Seat.

General Reagan is the "hoodoo" of
the Senate. The average Senator
would as soon sit at a table with thir-
teen as to allow Reagan to occupy
his seat, even for O few days. The
occupant of every seat he has ever
''squatted' in has been defeated, as
was the case last year of Senator
Salisbury, Senator Eustis and others
whose seats he laid claims to
during their absence. When Sena-
tor Ransom, Of North Carolina, went
home last summer to enter the fight
for reelection he so much feared the
effect Of the Texan occupying his seat
that he had his chair removed from
the Senate chamber before leaving
and gave strict instructions TO the
officers not to replace it until he re-
turned. Senator Ransom attributes
his reelection to the fact that Rea-
gan was kept out Of his seat during
his absence.

To Abolish the Tobacco Tax.

The Republican members Of the
ways and means committee have
about settled on their scheme of tariff
reduction. The internal revenue
features Of the bill are as follows:
The entire abolition Of all special
taxes upon dealers of all kinds, COM
monty known as licenses; the tax
upon snuff will be repealed; farmers
and planters growing tobacco viii
have the liberty to sell to whomso-
ever they please without restraint, in
the same manner as any farmer can
dispose of any other product Of his
land The tax upon manufactured
tobacco will be reduced from eight
cents to four cents per pound: cigars,
cheroots and cigarettes will carry the
same tax imposed under the present
law. Alcohol used in the arts is free
under substantially the same restric-
tons as are prescribed in the Senate
bill. The reductions in revenue from
these sources will be in round num-
bers between Sl7,0O0,O00 and S19.-
OO0,00O There are various changes
in existing duties, but they are I'LL

A BOy Kills His Mother.

News has just reached Asheyille Of
a horrible accident near Hot Springs,
Madison County. A twelve-year-old
son Of S. D. Chambers, a highly re-
spectacle farmer, accidentally shot
and instantly killed his mother. The
father had been to Hot Springs,
bringing home with him a valise with
some articles for the family in it. He
put the vaise down in the house and
stepped out, when the lad looked into
it to see what his father had brought
him. He found pistol, and said to
his mother: "See what pa brought

Another Fish Story.

Nearly q year ago Fisherman ".
T. Van Dyke, while pursuing his oc-
cupation off shore, inEitingly threw
out fishing line with two wel-bated
hooks. Presently there was jerk
the bait had ''took." Van Dyke was
hauling in hand over hand, when
suddenly the tension ceased and the
line was gracefully and adroitly
whisked into the boat minus both
hooks. Last fall Mr.. Van Dyke, in
emptying one of his ponds ofits over
night catch, discovered among his
captives a pig fish and a sea bass
united by bit of fish cord, which he
readily identified as his own. A hook
had penetrated the jaw Of each fish,
and, becoming imbedded there, the
flesh had grown around their barbs,
and thus securely fastened them IN
position. Thus, held together for
nearly twelvemonth, they had cours-
ed the bliny in double team, held by
single twine, till death cut their
thread of life in twain. The skeletons
Of this curious pair Of accidental
Siamese twins, together with the
hooks and line, which constituted
their sole domestic tie, now adorn

LOTTERY Ticket Speculation,

Do you know there are more lottery
tickets sold in Washington every
month than in any other city in the
world? Everybody buys them. Of
the eighteen thousand government
employees here, at least twelve thou
sand buy lottery tickets monthly, but
it does not stop here. Senators and
Representatives by the score are
always purchasers The other eve
ming party of q dozen statesmen
were chatting in the lobby Of the
Metropolitan, when some one pro-
duced a lottery ticket, at the same
time remarking iocularly: Il will get
$4,000 tomorrow" In an instant
two Senator's produced tickets, and
Representatives drew them out in
wads from their pockets. The num-
bers were compared, and deal was
made that whoever won should give
supper. However, Of the sixty or
seventy tickets held by Southern
Congressmen and their wives at the
Metropolitan, only one drew prize

ACRAVE OFFENSE.
An English Uundcrtaker Undertakes Toe
Much on fIis Own Responsibility.

Peculiar notions Of propriety are
entertained by some English under
takers, and the very ohcious conduct
of the undertaken Mills of London,
who buried Minister Lincoln's son,
has caused Mr.. Lincoln much annoy
ance and created much comment In
the American colony in London
It is an old custom in England
when the family is bereaved to send
out memorial cards with mourning to
intimate friends. But Mr.. Lincoln is
not an Engishman, and did not OBJ
serve this custom. So Undertaken
Mills decided to do it for him.
While at Mr. Lincoln's house attend
ing to the details of the funeral, he
managed to get access to the visiting
cards of callers and letters of those
who had sent messages of sympathy
during his sons illness. These in
cluded nearly all the Americans Ii
London. These Americans were as
tonished to receive q brilliant blue
card, with gilt edge, announcing the
death of Abraham Lincoln. 1t
also contains a conspicuous adver-
tisement of Mills, the undartaker, and
his shop.
In some of the envelopes were
printed copies of the hymns sung at
the funeral service, which was strictly
private affair. Being sent with the

wife died, and to Mr.. Lincoln, was the
proper man to employ when overtak-

Hiehwaymen on the Mountain.

There was a daring highway rob
berry Saturday night on Lookout
Mountain, Tenn. John Cummings,
one of the wealthiest citizens of Ham
ilton county, was driving across the
mountains to his home, at Wauhat-
chic. when two highwaymen jumped
from ambush. One seized the bride
of the horse and stopped his vehicle.
They then took him out and threw
him violently to the ground, stun
ming him for few moments. While
he lay in an unconscious condition,
the highwaymen robbed the vehicle
of weeks supply of provisions,
broke the conveyance into kindling
wood, and left before he could recog-
nize them. They also secured a
small amount of money from his
pockets. Great excitement prevails
on the mountain over the affair.

Died from a Ne@ro's Bite.

In Clay county, Alabama, Monday
night Oscar Hill, a prominent farm
er, died of hydrophobia, suffering the
most horrible agony before he died.
His death was the result of a bite on
the finger by negro several weeks
ago. Hill had & fight with a negro,
who bit one of his fingers to the bone,
inficting an ugly wound. The finger
became infamed, and finally had to
be amputated. Then the swelling
continued up the arm, and finally that
was cut off near the shoulder. Sev-
eral days ago symptoms Of hydropho-
bia developed, and Hill rapidly grew
worse until he died. The attending
physician pronounced it case Of
hydrophobia The negro Davis, was
what is known as a ':blue gum negro,
his gums being blue in color, ano
there is general belief that the bite
of such negroes is always fatal Ply.
sicians say that this color Of the gums
is caused by bad blood, and that il
such cases a bite would be poison
Gus: and probably fatal. Davis il

SAVED BY A CAROLINA GIRL
'ho Narrow Escape of a Passenger Train
Near Augusta.

! Near Augusta.
Last Friday evening the passenger
.ain of the Port Royal and Western
Carolina Railroad, which left Augusta
for Laurens, came near being wrecked.
| and the passengers were saved from
horrible and untimely death. The
trouble was broken rail at White
House, about thirty-eight miles above
Augusta, which the train was only
prevented from passing over by the
brave act of Miss Garnett, young
woman who lives near White House.
Miss Garnett discovered the broken
rail and she knew it was about tina
for the up-train to come along, and
she was greatly ialarmed, knowing
that it was sure destruction If the
train passed that fatal spot. The on y
thing to be done was to stop the tram
before it could reach the broken rail.
Down the track, around the curve,
Miss Garnett ran until she got several
hundred yards from the broken rail.
There she stationed herself on the
track, with a watchful eye and lantern
in hand, and she commenced waving
the lantern as soon as the shrlu
whistle of the locomotive sounded its
approach.
When the train rolling over the
rails the engineer saw the young lady
from distance on the track signal
ling him down as though in distress.
The engineer checked up his train
and stopped when he reached the
brave girl. Miss Garnett called the
engineer and warned him of the dan
ger that was Just ahead. The crew
of the train walked up the track and
3he broken rail was pointed out. All
agreed that Miss Garnett had saved
their lives and prevented wreck.
A collection was taken up among the
passengers, who were told of their
marrow escape, and the sum Of eleven
dollars was raised and presented by
Conductor Stuart to Miss Garnett.
