THERE was some danger that Pro
fessor Barnard's reputation would suffer
and some danger that the fifth moon of
Jupiter would get away till Professor
Young, of Princeton, corroborated Pro
fessor Barnard, of the Lick observatory
in his discovery and verified his count of
the Jupiterian satellites. The struggle
with the twin canals of Mars was
about TO be repeated when Professor
Young failed TO find the fifth
moon in the locality Professor
Barnard indicated, till a younger man
more oredulous and more enthusiastic,
perhaps, gave Professor Young the
proper tip. Now the whole thing is
practically settled, for while Professor
Barnard announced that the satellite ex-
lists and that its period is eleven hours
and fifty minutes, Professor Young from
first denying the existence Of the fifth
moon has come TO dispute nothing but
that its period is eleven-ffty; he says it
is eleven hours, ffty.six minutes and
forty seconds. Hence everything is
serene; we shall not quarrel about six
minutes.

Beat the clear water into crcling rings
Till they widen out and ont, q, so far,
To where the dock blooms and water lilies are.
Break, widening waves and ripple all the

Wake up the fairies from their all-dny dream;
How sound they sleep in dock and lily-cup-
wake, dainty fairies, the sun is going down,
A pale moon is rising above the town
And sheep are coming home across the lea
Wake little fairies 'tis time for revolry.

REAL VS.. UNREAL GIRLS.

The world is sometimes unjust or at
least harsh to a timid young bud. She
is not allowed to act in simple and
natural manner. She is compelled to
cultivate a simplicity that is not real,
not sincere and often affected to an in
tolerable degree Of offensiveness.
She, poor thing, is not allowed to ex-
press any interest or pleasure in the
society of boy or man, not her cousin
or her uncle, lest she be considered for
ward by some old maiden aunt who has
forgotten her own young days or lest
some young man may imagine that she
likes him The latter would be a
calamity; the former a sin.
She poor thing, must be reserved and
discreet; sine must not exhibit a special
or lively interest in anything she enjoys,
particularly a boy, FOR fear Of being
called "bold thing by envious girls
whose beauty is suppressed, whose vivac
ity is undergoing sort Of picking
process for future use.
Now, If there is anything a sensible
boy, who has his wits about him, likes
anything he holds himself ready TO ad
mire, to love, to adore, If necessary, it Is
the natural girl who is neither a reckless
tomboy nor a frigid prude. The girl whC
is outspoken and frank rather thar
the girl who is so shy as
to appear awkward and be mis-
understood, is the girl that the
right sort Of boy will climb trees for
explain the points of baseball TO, and t'
whom, at the proper time he viii pledg'
a wholesome heart and give an homes
hand.
No man who is worth knowing viii re
spect woman less for a frank, ready, sin
cere invitation "Come TO see me. Few
men, fewer boys, will have any real in
terest in a washed.out creature, who's
sincerity is cultivated away by the hot
house training of too much society re
straint-the girl whose false life has
been expended on the requirement o
"the prunes prisms and pota
toes" accomplishments in an effor
to be too nice to talk; too prope
TO raise her voice beyond a sibilant lisp
too languid TO show any interest in life
Real boys admire real girls admiration
from any other kind Of boy is as worth
less as any other than a real girl

PROGRESS NOT STOPPED.


Perhaps the thing that would have
astonished Columbus most among the
industrial displays of the Columbian
parade in New York, is the electric loat
We are so familiar with incandes cent
lamps and the twisted branches Of brass
which display them that they attracted
little attention. Columbus, however, had
no knowledge Of the existence Of the
negative and positive currents Of
electricity His Imagination could not
have leaped through three centuries of
civilization Of human 8 kill and endeavor
to picture Benjamin Franklin using his
simple apparatus of kite and key TO
demonstrate that the current of almost
unknown power could be attracted from
the clouds
Benjamin Franklin died In 1890 three
hundred years after the work of Colum-
bus was finished, aud almost a century
before Edisons work was begun. Hence
the work Of the latter, as displayed in a
float which was lighted and beautided
with the electric current exhibiting
itself in all colors Of the rainbow and in
all the graceful forms of the plumber
art, and which might have propelled th,
wagon itself along the streets, would
have opened world Of thought &c
Franklin as marvellous to him as the
physical world was to Columbus when hi
had approached the borders Of this new
continent.
When we consider the rapid stride
that human effort and human geniu
have made with electricity in comparison
with the painfully slow labor of Col
umbus in learning the physical feature
Of the earth, we stand aghast at tn
difference that that difference propabl
foretells in the progress TO be made b.
those who shall come after us.
Columbus was hero; we have onl
begun to recognize'him 400 years after tn
event We should not forget the heroe
Of the present day. Is not Edison a hero

THEY ARE WORRIED.

Our friends the enemy. are trying TO
whistle vigorously but they are shor-
oughly alarmed at the manifestations of
independence among the colored people
They have resorted to abuse of individ-
uals That is always fatal to the cause
it is resorted to to benefit in showing the
weakness of the cause The exigencies
are 50 great that It cannot rely on argu-
ment: it's existence is no longer justified
by reason
That is the situation Of the Republican
party toward the colored people. 1t has
promised them everything from $40
acres and mule" to the earth; it has
given them nothing. The Democrats, on
the contrary have promised nothing
and have given them $20, GOO per year to
educate their children.
The statesmen and the newspaper
writer's Of the Republican party, have
descended to peevish, ill-tempered and
silly complaints against soms par
ticular colored men who have
watched the career of the Republican
party in promising support to
the Prohibitlonist and after obtaining
Offices through Prohibition votes in
Maine and several Western states turned
away from them defantly. The
negroes have seen the fraud of the great
Mckinley bill, which, passed ostensibly
for the benefit Of the working men, has
been used TO take away even the wages
they did have. With these, and many
smaller and meaner duplicities and
frauds apparent to them, it is strange
that the colored people have not come to
their senses sooner.
Like querulous and doube.tongued
old women viragoes the Republicans pro
fess to be willing that the negroes
should be independent, that they should
vote their own convictions, but they
always oppose any method, no matter
what, by which that independence may
be asserted. They do not oppose the
thing but they block any road by which
it may be approached Thus the OBJ
jector says:
huN 'HJNNNl'h may lA'fNAA9 w L'tN0- ~
Mr. Saulsbury's hsck-door methods. Th'
particular little group of negroes wh'
are now running in and out Of Mr. Sauls
bury's law Office by the back door make
great pretence Of respecting themselve
and owning themselves. If there wa
anything in this pretence they woul'
insist on going to see Mr.. Salisbury b.
the front door Of his law Office, like othe
citizens or else not entering at all.
That's richness.
The writer should see Mr.. Saulsbur.
and give him some hints on "Turvey
drop decorum He is not obiecting &
the possibility that the negroes may obtai
possession of their tax receipts, an
register and vote as they please. Oh
no. He objects that they do not ente
Mr. Saulsbury's Office with proper for
mality.
And this is the stuff on which the Re
publican intellect is fed.

A very pleasant surprise party was
given in honor Of Miss Marian Bottger, at
her residence, 23l Walnut street, last

The evening was spent pleasantly inter
spersed with vocal and instrumental

Progress is not any more likely TO stop,
