ASTRONOMICAL TRIUMPHS.
Two Discoveries of High Order Due En-
tirely to American Skill.

Wv W ~ OHutI Dut
tireiy to American Skill
The Lick observatory has already be-
come famous from the numerous valu-
able observations which have been
made within the last few years We
certainly mean no disparagement to its
previous achievements when we say
that they have been altogether cast in
to the shade by the announcement of
the last discovery which has been made
on the summit of Mount Hamilton. We
fully appreciate the splendid series of
double-star discoveries by Burnham.
We recognize the value of the observa-
tions of Mars, of the beautiful lunar
photographs, of the admirable and in
structive spectroscopic work of Keller,
but from henceforth it would seem that
the Lick telescope must be chiefly re.
membered, not for these admirable la
bors, but as the instrument with which
Jupiter's fifth moon has been found. In
this respect the Lick telescope may be
compared with another celebrated in
strument of America, the great Wash
ington refraetor. Doubtless much ex-
cellent work has been done by this lat
ter instrument besides that achieve
ment by which its name will be specially
handed down.
1t was with this superb glass at
Washington that Prof Asaph Hall dis
covered the two satellites of Mars in
1877. This at one raised the name of
Hall to high rank in the light of IA
nous astronomical discoveries. Now
we have triumph Of the same
high order won with the Lick tele-
scope This entities the name of Barn
ard to be inscribed on the same select
roll as that which contains the name of
Asaph Hall. On such an occasion as
tronomers Of all countries freely offer
their hearty congratulations to those
who pursue their science in America.
In no other country can there be found
such lavish and splendid endowment

A BUNCH OF PANSIES.

to Lady.
Mrs Antonio Joseph, wife of Dele
gate Joseph, of New Mexico, not long
since related the following incident
which dates back to Mr.. Cleveland's &C.
cupancy Of the white house Mrs. Jo-
seph was one day walking leisurely
down Executive avenue, when her eye
was attracted by the beauty of bed OF
pansies inside the white house railing
She stopped moment that she might
the more completely enjoy the sight,
when she heard masculine voice, the
owner OF which had his head turned
away from her, ask:
DO you admire the fowers?"
Her reply being that she did, the
voice again asked:
Would you like some?"
To this second question Mrs Joseph
responded that she certainly would, but
thinking that she was being addressed
by some one not authorized to pick the
little beauties, she intimated as much
and was moving to pursue her walk
when a liberal bunch Of the pansie>
was held out to her over the railing,
and she saw that the person who was
about to make the impromptu pre-
sentation was none other than Presi-
dent Cleveland himself. She was so
startled for one brief instant that she
made an awkward reach for the flow
ers, and the bunch fell apart and to the
ground, some of the pansies landing
outside the fence and some inside Mr.
Cleveland, not deferred by his 800
pounds Of flesh, stopped over and care
fully picked up those inside, while Mrs
Joseph just as carefully gathered up
those outside. Mr.. Cleveland made a
second and more successful attempt to
deposit those he held in her hand, re
ceiving with a smiling countenance Mrs
Joseph's thanks and apologies, and she
went on her way.-Washington psf

to politics, and found in that direction
a congenial pursuit Through his own
efforts he acquired an academic educa-
ton. Before attaining his majority he
was selected as a delegate to the state
democratic convention, and held his own
with many politicians of age and ex-
perience Even after that time he
figured more or less prominently in
such assemblageS He was deputy
clerk in his native county, and was
chosen a member of the assembly in
1870, 1871 and 1875. From 1875 until
1888 ne was secretary of the democratic
state committee, and performed val
liable work for the party. This
position brought him into init
mate personal contact with the
leading politicians of the state,
and his experience and advice were
often of great benefit He was taken
into the confidence of Samuel J. Tilden
during his campaign for the presidency,
having previously enjoyed the closest
intimacy with the sage of Grammercy
while he was governor of New York.
He was appointed chief of staff to
Grover Cleveland upon his election to
the governorship, whence he derived
his rank and the title of colonel. When
Cleveland was first inaugurated presi-
dent Col Lamont became his private sec
rotary and served in that capacity with
ability and discretion through the en-
tire term He had been the managing
editor of the Albany Argus for several
years and his experience in that capaci-
ty tended to fit him for his new duties,
which were discharged with rare fdeli-
ty and discretion. At the conclusion
of President Cleveland's term of office
Col Lamont went to New York, where
he became president of street railway
