Procession OF rne rqu,no.e..

The procession of the equinoxes is st
ject intimately connected with the zodia
for wherever the vernal equinox occurs tn
first sign of the zodiac begins
The point where the ecliptic and equator
cross each other is called the equinox, be-
cause day and night are there of equal
length. The crossing point, however, is
not the same every year The equinox is
moving westward, or retrograding on the
ecliptic, as if it advanced to meet the sun
at each annual return.
The motion was called by Hipparchus,
as long ago as 100 B. c., the procession OF
the equinoxes, and the name is still re-
tanned, though recession would be more
appropriate to the retrograde movement.
The recession is 500 seconds of a degree
each year, and small as the distance ap-
pears it has amounted to 80 dogs in the
last 1900 years.
As the vernal equinox is the astronom
zeal starting point, from which longitude
is reckoned, its retrograde movement must
cause corresponding increase in the
longitude of the stars. The result is that
the consultations of the zodiac no longer
agree with the signs, and that star maps
have TO be renewed at intervals of fifty
years TO give the true position of the stars.

Indian Relics IN Delaware Hav.

Not more than half mile from Port
Penn, Del, in a sheltered copse between
two tidewater streams flowing into Della
ware bay, there are within an area of five
acres more than fifty dugouts, or rude
earthen houses, used by the Indians of the
region more than century ago. The
mounds are fast disappearing, but the
earth whereabouts ahounds in arrowheads,
tomakawks and other Indian relics, while
the bones of many savages lie buried hard
by.
Some of the ncighboring farmers hold
the land that was granted to them in ear
lest Colonial days, and one of the oldest
inhabited houses in the United States, a
substantial brick structure, is still stand
ing near Port Penn and in good repair.
Probably three-fourths of the white inhab-
itants are descendants of Colonial settlers.

Meat was dear, and my mother knew a

puIYs PATH.

Out from the ha -bor of youths bay
There leads the path of pleasure;
With eager steps we walk that way
To brim joys largest measure.
But when with Inorn's departing beam
Goes youths last precious minute,
We sigh, Twas but fevered dream
There's nothing in it,
Then on our vision dawns afar
The goal of glory, cleaning
Like some great radiant solar star,
And sets US longing, dreaming.
Forgetting all Il inGs left behind,
We strain each nerve to win it,
But when it's ours-alas! we find
There's nothing in il.
We turn our sac, reluctant gaze
Upon the path of duty;
Its barren, uninFiting ways
Are void of bloom and beauty
Yet in that road, though dark and cold,
Ii seems as we begin it,
As we press on 10! We behold
There's heaven in it.

Reautv as a National Trait.


Is there any handsome people on the
face of the globe? Now, we may set
aside the black and yellow and poly
chrome races in general, many of whom
are we'll shaped and like bronze statues
to look upon, but who do not come up
to the Aryan standard in features and
color. Leaving these children of nature
out of the question, it may be confessed
that there is no race among whom beau
ty is common. If the ancient Greeks
were like their statues, then there once
was beautiful race, but it is not SO
certain that they did not idealize them
selves a good deal. There is the more
reason to guess this, as when they have
to represent a barbarian, say Gaul or
a German or professional prize fighter,
they make these people as handsome as
themselves, though in rougher way.
There is famous bronze statue of a
boxer, who might be taken for an orator
or a poet were it not for his heavy metal
studded gloves. Thus it may be deemed
that there is a great proportion of the
ideal in these statues, vases, coins and fig
ures, where every one is so graceful and
goodly. Every nation has high opin-
ion of its own charms. The French
pride themselves on small feet, and it is
certain that their women walk very lit
| tie, and have cunning bootmakers.-

Kent the Least for Himself.

Three ragged newsboys were trying
to sell the earlier editions of the after
noon papers. A man carrying large
basket of fine looking oranges on his
shoulder passed close by. The motion
of his body loosened one of the biggest
and ripest and it fell to the ground. The
man kept on, not noticing or caring for
the loss. The orange lay upon the pave
ment for about half o minute unseen.
Then the largest of the three ragged
urchins spied it, and with cry of de-
light he ran over and picked it up. 1t
was natural to suppose that he would
proceed to eat it all himself, but instead
of doing so he called his companions and
exhibited his find. They eyed it greed
lily.
Without any request from them for a
share in the coveted fruit the finder di-
vided the orange into three parts and
gave his fellow newsboys each a part.
The smallest part he reserved for him
self. 1t was only a small thing in itself
yet it proved, thought, that there was
something noble hidden under the ragged
garments of that little urchin.-New

THE. DIG BONANZA MINE.
A Smoking Hole I'm the Ground Out of
Which Nackay Took @1 SO. 900. 600.

A Smoking Hole In the Ground Out of
Which oIackay Took $50, 600, 900.
I was strolling with Mackay some
years ago N Virginia City, when we
looked down a smoking cavity in the
ground that was soon lost in the dark
ness, and at the mouth of which wind
Lass was slowly grinding. "Out of that
hole," he said, II took $50, ,000, 600 in
bullion" This was one of the famous
Bonanza mines, whose history all men
know. The Big Bonanza, as it was
called, and as Mackay described it to me
at the time, was kidney" or a
"pocket" of crude ore, about as high as
the steeple of Trinity and in area as
large as the City Hall park of New York.
This ore, shoveled out and reduced,
gave the stupendous yield to which Mr.
Mackay referred, and was the founda-
ton of the Bonanza fortunes.
Associated with him were three other
gentlemen, whose names were to win a
worldwide mining fame-James G. Fair,
afterward senator from Nevada, whose
skill as mining expert had attracted
the attention of Mackay; William
O'Brien, and James G.. Flood. O'Brien
and Flood had come to California as
friends in the Argonaut days, and had
like other men taken their humble parts
in the creation of the Pacific states. In
those times men who were to be major
generals in the army drove drays for a
living. Others who were to become
luminous in craftsmanship and juris-
prudence joyfully mended their own
trousers and washed their own linen,
They were partners" term that
Bret Harte has pathetically explained
in one of his exquisite stories. "Part-
ners," that is to say, friends, with a
friendship such as we who live outside
of the atmosphere Of adventure which
| infolded the Argonaut days cannot un-
| derstand, and which would be but
vaguely explained if we compared it to
the love of man and woman.
"Billy was my partner once," as Mr..
| Flood said to me one day in Menlo,
while we were looking at the portrait of
| O'Brien; BILLY was my partner once.
| He is my partner now, will be my part
ner forever"-a speech which made a
deep impression, coming as it did from
| tuG lips Ol Oflc VI Vic IlOSG 1cSOluLc, Sell
| restrained and undemonstrative of men.
Flood was the financial representative
and the ally of the two young miners
who were at work on the Bonanza
| O'Brien, the partner" in the firm, be-
cause Flood could have no interest he
did not share.
O'Brien passed away in Bonanza
times-Flood not many months since, il
| Germany. He was a brave, independ
ent, reserved, conscientious man, es
pecially charming and true in the higher
relations of life-no better citizen, nc
truer friend-''in all that goes toward
the true development of manhood, the
best man have ever known" as Mackay
said to me when the hour of irrevocable
silence had fallen. 81 know only one
man in the world that can break me
and that is Mackay." This Flood said
to me and | note it as showing the strong
links which in those days bound tht
Bonanza firm and gave it a strength
and confidence which were the basis
of it's power-John Russell Young il
Munsey's Magazine.
