A BoY.s ESSAY.

A boy in the Wichita school has
been suspended for reading the follow
ing essay on Pants" last Friday /:
pants are made for men and not men
for pants. When a man pants for a
woman and woman pants for man
they are pair of pants. Such pants
don't last. Pants are like molasses,
they are thinner in summer and thick
er in winter. The man in the moon
changes his pants during an eclipse.
Don't you.g to the pantry for pants,
you may be mistaken. Men are often
mistaken in pants, such mistakes make
brooches Of promise. There has been
much discussion as to whether pants
are singular or plural. Seems to US
that when men wear pants they are
plural, but when they don't wear any
it is singular. Men get on tear in
their pants and it is all right, but
when the pants get ona tear it is all
wrong.

Judge Jas. D. Armstrong, of Rom

to the voters Of Pendleton, Mineral,

saying:
After my long illness last fall. my
physicians, as also my friends in yari-
GUS parts of the circuit, advised me
not to resign my Office hoping that,
with care during the winter, I would
be able to resume the duties in the
spring. Whilst ! held long term Of
court in this place in February with
out Inconvenience yet the nature Of
my complaint continues such as to
render long journeys over rough roads
and in bad weather hazardous. For
that reason l have determined to re-
sign my Office of judge Of the 10th ju-
dicial circuit, and ! haye so informed
Governor Flemlng-the resignation to
take effect from the. Goth Of this
month.
This is done that he may have time
to select my successor, and have time
to make your wishes known to him.
In severing the relation that has 50
long subsisted between US, | desire to
express my high appreciation Of the
confidence reposed in me and of the
kindness and respect with which ] have
been so generally treated by you, by
the officers Of the several courts and
by the members of the bar.

Celestial LE1uII |1"u 81 The EroEr4m
for tne 1ohth-
April, the fourth month in the year.
presents many attractions for those
who follow with unwavering interest
the eyerchanging movements Of the
heavenly bodies. The greatest gift,
however, that the month bestows upon
us is the full moon Of the 12th, for Il
holds the most important place on the
lunar records Of the year. 1t is the
first full moon after the vernal equinox,
and it determines, according to ecclesi-
astical usage, that Easter shall fall ON
the following Sunday. On the 9th it
is in conjunction with Saturn. later
with Uranus. Subsequently il comes
near to Mars and Jupiter, and is in
opposition to Mercury and Neptune.
The closest, as well as the last meet
ing for the month, is on the 29th with
Venus, in which we are promised q
very pretty picture, as only three min
utes Of arc separate the two bodies, d
distance so slight that it will hardly be
perceptible to our unaided vision. The
two win be drawing closer and closer
throughout the evening, and viii be
almost midnight before they are at
their closest. It will probably be some
what hard for rs to realize that the
planet Is three and a-half times the
size of the moon, but its greater dis
trance from us, of course, accounts for
the moon being apparently the larger.
There will be a total eclipse Of the
sun on the Goth, which. unfortunately
for us. will not be visible in this por-
ton Of the world. Saturn comes next
to Venus as an object Of planetary in
terest, as he is in sight almost all night
throughout the month, and is at pres
emit in quite a favorable situation for
observation, low down in the eastern
sky an hour or so after sunset.
Mars is morning star, rising about
1:30 o'clock in the morning and grad
ualiy getting up earlier as he draws
away from old Sol toward opposition.
This long-looked-forward-to event will
occur in August, and, while it win not
have the beautiful features Of the last
opposition, nor be Of such intense in
terest to the superstitious, it may be
the means Of thrilling the whole world
with intelligence of the most startling
nature. The last favorable opposition
wasin 1877 but great advancein astro-
nomical knowledge has been made
since then, and it is thought that the
more powerful telescopes Of to-day will
reveal to us definitely whether Mars is
inhabited. A stirring piece Of news
may be in store for US in the enerva-
ting dog days.
