HOW uirh Il the Atmospv,ops9

One would hardly think of looking to the
moon for information about the height OF
the earth's atmosphere. Yet it is in just
that way that evidence has recently been
obtained that the atmosphere extends
much higher than has commonly been as
sumed
Observations of lunar eclipses made at
the celebrated observatory of Lord Rose
in Ireland have shown that the amount OF
heat received from the moon, which heat
is, of course, merely reflected sun heat,
Just as moonlight is only reflected sun
light, begins perceptibly to diminish sew
eral minutes before the shadow of the
earth reached the moon.
The inference is that the earth's atmos-
phere partially cuts off the suns heat as it
comes between the moon and the sun
ahead of the pdge of the solid earth, and
calculations based upon the length of time
during which the loss of heat from the
moon is felt before the eclipse begins, indi-
cate that our atmosphere reaches height
of at least 100 miles.
How different this is from the height
usually stated may be seen by consulting a
popular schoolbook on physical geography,
published within few years, in which it
is affirmed that beyond height of forty
miles the amount of air remaining would
be too small to affect the suns rays per-
ceptibly in any way.
So in the most unexpected and some
times wonderful ways we are continually
learning something new about this time
worn globe ON whose surface we dwell

A CONFEDERATE NOTE.

1t is said the following poem was
originally written on the back of a
Confederate Treasury $4,000 note, and
was found in Richmond, Va, after the
evacuation. 1t is not certain that the
authorship is known, bnt the senti-
ment is one that will still touch the
heart of every old soldier who wore
the gray, though it has often been
published before:
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And naught in the waters below it,
As pledge of a nation that's dead and gone,
Keep it, dear friend, and show it.
Show It to ttlose who will lend an ear
To the tale that this paper can tell,
OF liberty born, Of patriots dream,
OF the storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much Of a stranger to borrow,
We issue to-day our promise to pay,
And hope to redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled on, and weeks became years.
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was SO rare that the Treasury quaked
II dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in us was strong indeed
And our poverty well discerned
And these little checks representing the pay
That our poor volunteers had earned,
We knew it had hardly value in gold,
Yet as gold our soldiers received IT.;
1t gazed In our eyes with promise to pay,
And each patriot-sOlder believed 1t.
But our boys thought little OF price or pay
Or OF bills that were then overdue;
We knew II it brought us our bread to-day.
Twas the best our poor country could do
Keep 1t, for it tells our history DER.
From the birth or its dream to the last,
Modest, and born of the angel Hope,
Like the hope of success it passed.

Now, if any one can show any other
way to have or get an honest dollar,
let him now speak it out or forever
hereafter hold his peace, for we will
not have any but an honest dollar !;
one that will do just as much for one
man as another, when this plan is put
into practice, and it must be, unless
some one else can tell some other plan
| for an honest dollar, for every body
is now calling for an honest dollar.
Even Grover Cleveland says he is OPP
posed to free coinage of silver because
it is not worth as much as gold, as if
adding enough silver to the dollar
now coined to make it sell for a gold
dollar would make it continue the
same price i'm the market next week.
Why, every body knows that no two
articles ever remain the same price
long at time.
Now | would say to the Voice that
his plan for the government to issue
| four dollars for one dollar held by it
in gold, would raise the price of gold
| four to one or more, but if he will de-
monetize it and warehouse it, and at
the same time ware-house all other
nonperishable products and issue the
same per cent. on its market value

articles simply treat all products
alike, land that is no reason why we
should not) having it as all the other
articles. used as security for the issu-
ance of money, sold in twelve months,
giving those who want to use or con-
sumo gold chance to get it, he will
find it will fuctuate down all the
time, while all the others will tiuctu-
ate up and best of all he will soon
find that tramps will be no more, and
he will no more hear and see naked,
starving children or weeping, broken
hearted mothers tOiling day and night
for barely bread enough to eat, and
the word ovcrproduction will never
be heard again, and there will be no
more English syndicates lOaning
money to this people and holding
mortgages on the lands and homes of
the then free and independent Amer
lean citizens. He will also see our I'M
porters buying gold far below par, to
pay foreign balances due by them If
demanded. Our money will stand
above gold par, even in Europe, and
then he will see nation of busy, hap
py, honest well-fcd and clothed citi
zens, and last but not least, you will
see the insane asylums emptied of
their present occupants to make room
for insane millionaires, made so by

rob the toiling, honest labOrers and
producers.

The True Democratic Doctrine.

The True Democratic Doctrine.
The following is an extract taken
from speech delivered by Congress
man Snodgrass, of Tennessee, in op-
position to the bill to donate S., 100000
to the Worlds Fair. 1t is good dem
ocratic doctrine that has been too lit
tie practiced by the members of that
party in Congress for the last 16
years
That eminent statesman and patriot,
Samuel J. Tilden, in speaking of Gov
ernment said:
"The general government should do
nothing for the State which the State
can do for itself, and no government
should do for the individual what he
can do for himself"
This is correct idea of government.
When all power is centralized in a
government we have despotism. The
purpose of Capitalization and pater-
nalism has been approved by the leg
islation of the Republican party so
long that many of our people seem to
forget the danger that lies hid behind
the little temporary aid they ask or re-
ceive. Whenever and wherever pa
ternalism extends it's lines we find
those of liberty contracted.
If Congress continues to tax the peo-
pie to raise money to loan or to give
to fairs, or to buy grain for those who
have none on account of some acci-
dent or misfortune, or to pay tribute
to deceased Presidents and generals
widows, or to defrav the funeral ex-
penses of dead Senators and Congress
men, or to give to rich men to make
sugar, or to loan people to aid them
to live, all such things are in the same
line and eternally wrong. If this folly
gone mad, these dangerous innova-
tiOns upon our system of government
be not checked, we have no hope for
the perpetuatiOn of our free institu-
tiOns if they are continued, sooner
or later liberty will fly away, prosper
ity will be thing of the past, and
our free, self-reliant people will be-
come dependent beggars and slaves,
who will come in tatters and rags up
to the gateway of arrogant and oppres-
sive power, only to be kicked out and
sent off empty handed. appeal to
the Democrats on this floor to stand
by the Constitution and the people,
and with their votes defeat all such
measures and avoid the evils and dan
gers that must surely follow such a
class of legislation.
