ODDITIES ABOUT DEW.

Dew never rails, ia the general Gccepia
tion of that term, it being always formed
upon the surface Of the material or sub
stance upon which it Is found.
Dew does not form on the surface of vast
bodies Of water. On the contrary, the sur
faces of ships which traverse the ocean
have never been known to be dampened by
It..
Dewdrops are always round or spheroidal
in form, because every portion Of each drop
Is equally balanced, no one part Of the sur
face beiug farther from the center than an
other.
Tho reason that dew Is rarely or never oh
served in the close. sheltered streets of
cities Is because the buildings are exposed
to the radiation Of each other, thus main.
tanning temperature uniform with the air.
Mist never becomes dew, because the chill
Of the air is so rapid that vapor is con-
densed faster than IL can be deposited. and,
wrapping the earth in sheet, as IL were,
prevents further radiation Of heat from the
earth. Chicago Herald

chance OF lifetime came to him, and old
age evidently didn't weaken the confidence
of his superiors in his fitness for great deeds.
The Twelfth corps had the right OF the line,
protecting the Baltimore pike, which led
TO the rear of Meade's army. The artillery
reserve and the ammunition wagons were
parked along the road. As night closed in
on the I'd Of July the corps was summoned
10 the battlefield on the extreme left. where
the Third corps had been destroyed in de-

vacated by the Withdrawal of five brigades,
at the same time holding his own The
line was on the borders of Rock Creek and
rested on the steep sides OF Culp's Hill.
The men had thrown up breastworks of
logs. stones and earth for a chief defense,
and the skirmishers took to hiding behind
the huge bowlders and giant oaks In front.
When told of his task, General Greene
ordered the One Hundred and Forty-ninth
10 deploy into the space vacated by a bri-
gade on its right. The men had barely
reached their places when the pickets along
the whole front were seen retiring among
the trees, fighting Indian fashion and close
ly pursued by massed columns Of the enc
my. Springfng from cree to tree and rock
to rock. Greene's skirmishers with deadly
aim kept the enemy at distance until their
comrades In the breastworks were ready
and armed. Then they rushed back pell-
NELL over the parapets, and the waiting
muskets began their hideous rattle, APP
preaching night and the deep woodlands
making the scene just dark enough TO lend
lurid brightness to the flashes and show the
enemy the whole zigzag outline of the
works. On the direct front Greene repulsed
four charges I'm half an hour. His position
was a salient spur OF the ridge, and the
Confederates took his stubborn fighting as
an earnest of what was TO be expected fur
ther on, not knowing that the works on
both sides of him were almost bare of men.
A few pickets and a few skirmishers hastily
thrown out by Greene after the firing began
were all the defenders that stood guard over
rods and rods of bare parapets. The fight
ing in front of the One Hundred and Forty
ninth-the regiment which was deployed in
the space meant for a whole brigade-was
terrific. Although 1t was dusk, the flag
which was held on the parapet was shot
down twice by bullets that cut the flagstaff
In two. Seven bullets in all pierced the
staff, and the flag itself was pierced by 81.
The breastworks on Culp's Hill were the
salvation of the line, and, as it proved, of
the army at Gettysburg. The assailants
numbered five brigades and belonged TO
General Ewell's corps, the old command of
Stonewall jackson. They had been told of
especially to assault the Union line on Rock
Greek and Culp's Hill, while Longstreet's
corps stormed the mountain at Round Top.
An hour earlier they would have found
something more than a skirmish line to
cope with, but although the Twelfth corps
works were empty of all but a skirmish
line that skirmish line and the darkness
which befogged the Confederates in the
broken and irregular ground, combined to
keep an army at bay. Only once was the
danger extreme, and Greene met il by deed
ofpersonal heroism as sublime as any on that
famous field. The enemy, finding them

WHAT 1T ALL MEANS.

The Baltimore Sun says, "SomN one IN
baltimore remarked that tho Demo
cratic party, after thirty years of exile.
has been borne into power upon the broad
and honest shoulders of Grover Cleve-
land and replied an old citizen, 1T
looks as IL it is to be carried out on the
back Of mining-camp mule" True as
gospel, say we. 1t is our deliberate opin-
ion that Grover Cleveland is the solitary
Democrat in the United States who could
have been elected president last Novem-
Der, and he was elected because all the
people of the United States had such i'm
plicit faith in his honesty. his firmness
and his good sense, that they believed
Il would be impossible for the reckless,
crack-brained men, of which the Demo-
cratic party has only too many In its
ranks to do any injury to the institu-
lions Of the country. 1t was Grover
Cleveland who was elected president and
not the nominee Of the Democratic con-
vention.
And equally true is the lament Of the
the party would be carried out Of power
on the back Of mining camp mule. AS
far as this free silver talk comes from
the South. II is a move for cheap money,
Reputation Of past obligations. unsettle-
ment of the fixed order Of things, tur-
moil and disturbance. a section Of the
body polite which has these objects in
view will never be allowed by the good
sense Of these United States to exercise
a controlling influence in shaping and
enacting our laws, nor ought 1t to be.
No firmer believer in the true principles
Of Democracy than The Times exists on
this earth. But IL body Of people form
themselves into political party and
march out to overturn all the settled and
fixed order Of things. The Times will
never allow itself to be caught in their
ranks, merely because they Islander Demo-
cracy by engraving its sacred name upon
their polluted banners. The case is like
that of the Bedouins of the desert, who
tear down the noble monuments OF an
tiquity 20 construct huts and novels IN
which TO shelter themselves and their
plumber.

Democracy's method of transportation,
The Times Will refuse 10 travel In such
a train. The Times Democracy calls for
equal laws, bearing equally ON all with
special privileges to none ana. as part
of that creed it imperatively and abso-
lutely insists upon currency In which
every dollar shall be the equal OF the
best Collar. If we are TO have gold dol
lars, all other things that we convert
into dollars must be just as valuable as
the gold dollars. and when it is deter
mined that we will put out some things
as dollars, which are not as valuable as
our gold dollars but which we will force
people by law to take as the equals Of
gold dollars, The Times drops out Of that
procession and joins the opposition.

THE SENATE IN STILL GREATER
CONTEMPT.

Senator Dubois has twice within the
past few days refused to cast his vote in
the Senate after the Senate had determin-
ed that the excuses which he offered were
insufficient and had ordered him TO vote.
The Senate has brought itself low enough
In public contempt by the spectacle which
1t has been furnishing TO the world for
some time back But is 1t going TO allow
itself to be brought down to level that
will excite the derision OF bootblacks and
vides that the Senate may punish its
members for disorderly behavior" Is II
not "disorderly behavior for a member
to sit in his seat and, when the Senate
orders him to vote, to contumaciously
refuse to vote? 1t seems TO us that
nothing could be more entirely out of
order, which is the same thing as TO be
guilty OF 'disorderly behavior" The Con-
stitution also provides that the Senate
may expel one of its members by a two
thirds vote. The cause for expulsion Is
left to be determined by the Senate Itself.
II Is TO judge in every case whether that
case justifies this extreme measure. II
any case can justify 1t. this contempt
of It's authority certainly does But the
Senate seems TO be no longer a body OF
men. 1t should offer itself TO the Sultan
OF Turkey, who can find uses for it. There
are none here.
