the picture intently for few moments
the storm clouds seem TO pass across the
canvas in grandly Elusive way and the

where silent nature receives voice by the
touch of genius.

SNOW ON THE MOON.
Remarkable Discoveries Made by Lick
 Observatory Astronomers.

Observatory Astronomers.
 Remarkable discoveries have been made at the Lick observatory, says the Detroit Free Press. Prof. Holden, the director, has secured through the big telescope better photographs of the moon than have been taken anywhere else, and the work of photographing goes on every hour when the satellite is visible, By studying these photo graphs with a magnifying glass and comparing them any changes taking place on the surface of the moon may be discovered.
 The astronomers on Mount Hamilton have discovered some things that mo- body else ever saw, but they have not determined whether these are new fea- lures or things that are too small to have been seen through less powerful telescope. For example, upon the top of one of the mountains of the moon the photograph shows luminous white spot that looks like snow. If that is snow and if it was not there before, the presence of an atmosphere is indicated 1t has been believed that the moon has no atmosphere and therefore unhabit- able; but if it should be demonstrated that snow falls upon the surface of the satellite, the accepted theory would be upset and astronomers would begin to study the moon with new and greater interests.

THE FATAL COLLISION AT KNOX
VILE

The body of Rufus B. GosnelI, the
engineman of the fast freight express,
No. 46, who was killed Thursday
night at Knoxville, near Weverton,
ina collision on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad between his train and
the Pittsburg express was brought to
Baltimore yesterday afternoon and re-
moved to his late home, 6l2 West Lee
street. The remainBa of &c. Eyler,

press. whowas also killed, were, also
brought to town and taken to 1716
South Charles street. where he board

home in Creagerstown. Frederick
county, to-day, where his family lives.
Engineman l.. W. Manford, of the
Pittisburg express. who was also in
jured, was removed to his home at
Martinsburg. Fireman John Will
liams, of the freight express, and Ex-
press Messenger Mussetter, who were
also hurt, came to Baltimore. The
home of the former is on Cough
street, near MADEIRA alley. All of the
injured men will recover. No pas
sengers were hurt.
At an early hour in the morning the
north track was cleared, and all trains
moved on schedule time. By eleven
O'Clock the other track was open.
The collision was caused by the fail
ure of the freight express to follow
orders to remain on the siding at
Weverton until the Rttsburg express
had passed. The north track was
blocked by disabled freight, aud the
south track had to be used.
Engineman Gosnell was of middle
age, and leaves wife and three chill
dren. He was a high executive off,
Ger of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. The two engines were
smashed pretty badly, and four cars
of the freight train were also badly
used up. Superintendent Thomas
Fitzgerald went to the scene of the
accident as soon as it was reported
here, and remained until the tracks
were cleared. The bodies of the men
who were killed were prepared for
burial in Washington. The damage
will amount to over $4,000. The
Chicago express, which passed just
ahead of the Pittsburg train, was mis-
taken by the engineman Of the freight
as the one he was waiting for, and he
accordingly pulled out.
The coroner'saj dry at Weverton
gave a verdict of death from accident,
but censured the crew of the freight
train for carelessness. --SatTday's

If they will consider that we bend all
our efforts to fill the paper with news
and practical discussions, and to get
out such paper are often compelled
to work at night and enjoy very few
holidays or even hours of rest, they
will be considerable enough to make
due allowance for our inability to pub
lish much else than real news. The
city papers are filled with news and
practical discussions on live questions
of the day. The country paper has
as intelligent class of readers to in
terest. We all know that fine talk
and fiowery language and rosy ideas
in press or pulpit, parlor or school, is
disappointing and never holds out.
The father at his work, whether in
shop or on the farm, knows that hard
work alone and practical ideas help
him along. The mother finds that
hard knocks keep the house in order,
the clothes fixed, and the family to-
gether. So in every pursuit, it is not
the romance that does the work but
the practical application of the solid
philosophy of mind and muscle. The
preacher who feeds his flock on poe
try soon finds himself adrift. So the
editor, the teacher, &c. Help US to
