What Is Going on in a Social Way About
Town.
One of the most swell soirees Of the
season was given yesterday afternoon
and evening by Miss Bessie Brady at
the residence of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. b. L. Brady the popular Hanover

Shearer, of Alliance, o. The afternoon
was for the ladies, there being quite a
large gathering present from
WellSville, East Liverpool, Toronto
Alliance, Wheeling, Bellaire and Bridge
port, as we'll as from home. The even
ing was devoted to the entertainment Of
the young men. The company was en-
,ertained by vocal and instrumental
music, games of all kinds, and an ele-
CANT repast was served both in the after
noon and evening. 1t was certainly one
of the finest receptions Martins Ferry
has seen for long time, as it was some
thing different from any formerly
given in Martins Ferry. being the
latest fad In our large cities. To say
that Miss Bessie covered herself with
glory would be but TO express ii mildly,
she receiving the guests in the spacious
hallway with all due honor, while Miss
Nellie Mitchell, aged eight years, acted
as doorkeeper. The house was hand
somely decorated with japanese lanterns
and flowers. Every one left highly
pleased, saying it was the most enjoy
able party they ever attended, and that
| Miss Bessie was successful hostess, as
everything in her power was done to
make everyone enjoy themselves.

ACCORDING to our latest dispatches
BALMAcEDA has won a victory that
at least ought to settle the fact that he
cannot be dislodged by the rebels, if he
cannot whip them. The insurgents
succeeded in landing 10000 troops near
Valparaiso but were repulSed
with loss Of 5000 men and the retreat
of the remainder cut of. The govern
ment force of 5000 sent to contest the
march of the rebels lost half their num-
Der, but twelve thousand reinforce
mentS of government troops, having
the advantage ground, saved the day
70 BAIMACEDA and made his posi-
lion secure. The rebels have shown
themselves to be remarkably bold and
determined lighters, but BALMAcEDA
now has what is left of their army al
most at his mercy, and unless they can
muster another and greater it looks as
if it were all day with the cause of the
CHILEAN rebels.

wOLF,s COMET.
IL Will PAS Through the Pletades Next
Month-A Chance for Astronomers.


Month-A Chance for Astronomers.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 26.-Prof.
Barnard, OF Lick Observatory, Mount
Hamilton, furnishes the following:
SAN interesting phenomenon will be
witnessed by astronomers during the Sd,
4th and 9Th of September. VOLTS
comet. whose return was first announced
from the Lick Observatory on May 3
last. will pass through the PleiadeS on
the above dates. / believe no comet
has ever been seen to pass through the
cluster. This phenomenon. will be OF
interest principally from the probable
occultation of some of the considerable
stars. From the dimensions and rapid
ity of motion OF comets occnltatlons OF
| fixed stars by them are not nnfrequent.
The passage of a comet in front OF a star
cannot in the true sense OF the word, be
called an occultation of the star, for 1t
does not disappear when the comet
passes over it. Although occultations
| or transits frequently occur, 1T Is quite
seldom that any but small stars lie ex-
actly in the path OF a comet.
''There is another problem connected
with comets, however, upon which light
NAV be thrown by observations OF stars
! when shining through them. at pres
ent we know absolutely nothing OF the
mass and density of any OF these comet
airy bodies. We only know that such
must be exceedingly small. 1t would
be possible to arrive at some definite
idea of the density of the cometary mat
ter If the light of star In passing
through it should be refracted as 1t is
in passing through our atmosphere.
This can be determined by accurate
measurements Of the relative position
of star before, during and after the
transit of q comet in. front OF 1t. The
amount or even existence OF such re-
fraction has not yet been certainly de-
termined.
"The passage of VOLTS Comet
through the Pleiades will therefore be
of more than ordinary interest, as it will
give an opportunity to test the problem.
The comet will not pass over any OF the
brightest stars. 1t will, however, pref
tY certainly transit the two bright stars,
Asterope and Pleione. The passage over
the first of these will occur on the morn
ing of September 4, at about 3:l5
o'clock, Mount Hamilton time; the Sec
ond on September 5, at o'clock p. m.
A 91S-magnitude star will probably be
centrally occulted on the 9th at noon.
These last two cannot be seen here, but
will be observable in Australia. 1t will
also perhaps partly transit the second
star of Asterope at about o'clock o. m.
September a."

The Bottom of the Sea.

The new dramatic sensation, 1.-THE
Bottom of the Sea-" will be seen at the
Opera House tomorrow and Saturday
evenings and Saturday Matinee, where
ii will be presented on the same scale or
scenic splendor that marked It's produc-
ton in New York. The story Is said to
be one Of intense interest. 1t opens In
the cabin Of the passenger steamer
Isabel on her voyage from the West In
dies to Havre. The principal charac-
acters are on board. The first realistic
scene shows the destruction OF the YES
sci by the explosion of her boilers. the
rescue of the passengers by passing
Yacht and the sinking OF the Inflated
steamer. After some episodes which
transpire in France the scene changes
to the deck of a steamer laying sub
marine cable, and here some OF the
more intense dramatic incidents trans
pire. The hero OF the play descends to
the bottom of the sea to repair a
break In the cable, and while incased in
a divers suit Is accompanied by the vii
lain. At the very bed of the ocean. on
the deck of the sunken passenger
steamer, which Is where the break OF
the cable took place, the villain with q
Ratchet takes advantage OF his enemy,
who Is at work on the broken cable. and
cutting the air-pipe and lifeline leaves
his victim apparently dead and ascend:
to the surface. Incidentally there Is az
attack on the divers by large octopus
and a thrilling realistic conflict. Ii
the subsequent scenes the hero. who
has been miraculously saved by the all
remaining in his helmet, comes to con
front his would-be assassin. The vari
Gus scenes and effects are said to b.
produced in an entirely realistic way

SILVER IN POLITICS.

The frantic efforts of Ohio Republi-
cans and their friends on the outside tC
make silver the issue and ignore the
tariff is very amusing-it is so utterly
ridiculous. 1t has been shown time
and again that Republicans are just as
strongly committed to free silver as the
| Democrats and in their national plat
form actually go so far on that line as
to accuse Democrats Of having demone-
tized silver. Meanwhile Pennsylvania
Republicans come out squarely for free
silver coinage in spite of President
HARRIsoN's recent intimation that he
will interpose the veto against the
enactment OF any such measure. The
Philadelphia inquirer, speaking for the
men who control the party in that
State, declares it is step in advance
toward free coinage and that the Ma
tional Convention will follow in the
same course. This sound Republican
organ even claims for the Republican
party monopoly of the free coinage
idea. 1t says:
The silverites are not in the Democratic
party by any means. Many Of the North
ern Republicans are silver men. =. The
Harrisburg convention made silver deliv-
erance thar is sure to attract attention, as
il indicates the probable course that the
National convention will follow. The
plank is really an advance Of another step
in silver coinage, and probably step that
will be considered wise by those not ex-
tremeists at both ends OF the question.
The Pennsylvania Republicans have gone
a little further than Congress ana opened
the American mines TO coinage. The views
Of people on silver are changing. There
is an unmistakabIe demand for something
more Pennsylvania has pointed the way.
1t is notable, in this relation, that
when the first draft of the Pennsylvania
platform was received in Ohio, demand
ing "free coinage of all the gold and
silver produced by American mines,"
the Cincinnati Commercials Gazette well
coined this "as the liberal ground occu-
pied by the Ohio Republicans" The
Philadelphia Inquirer puts 1T too
strongly when it declares that "the sill
veriteS are not in the Democratic
party" They are in both parties; but
the most pressing danger, If danger
there be, at all, seems to be that they
will soon control the Republican party.

ted States, according to the Eleventh
Census, may be estimated at SCI, 610,-
900, 600, or nearly $1,000 per capita. :"
Turning to the next page, where it
gives the table showing the assessed val
uations of real and personal property,
we find that the assessed valuation per
capita for 1850 is but S3s7.62. Putting
out Of the question the 81, 900, which an
equal division Of our total wealth would
give to every man, woman and
child in the United States, how many
can show even the S3S7.62 of real and
personal property? An answer 10 tn's
question would show how, under the
beneficent rule of the Republican party,
practically all the wealth of the coun-
try is centred in the hands OF the very
few rich who count their wealth by the
millions and tens of millions.
