he fired the actor and played the parts
himself.

The Calhoun Opera company wound
up its engagement at the theatre last
evening to a fair house that would
probably have been larger but for the
big storm that had lasted all day. The
attraction was the second performance

its way to Oregon where its dates are
booked for a considerable distance
ahead. 1t is the avowed ambition of
Mr.. Skunk, the proprietor, to gradually
develop and strengthen his company
until it is worthy to appear in metro
politan cities. By the time they have
reached degree Of excellence that will
secure favorable reception in such
places, there will have been some radi

AFTER THE PLAY.

The curtains down, the play ig DER,
A tragedy with blood galore
The many actors OF the play,
Come out and hou1eward wend their way.
The Villain bold, who, on the stage,
All trouble breeds, and in a rage
Forces the hero to obey,
Until the final end of play,
Comes forth and passes down the street,
Where throngs go by with hurried feet.
A little child with frantic yell
Has slipped before a. train, and fell.
The villain rtlshes from the throng.
And grasps the child in arm SO strong.
To save the child gives up his life.
The hero who, an hour ago,
Was ready in the mimic show.
His life TO sacrifice that naugnt
Should harm the girl ne loved and sought.
Deserts his wife. and in a den
Frequented by the worst of men
Cares naught that she awaits alone,
Her wretched husbands coming home.
The Funny Man comes through the door,
The one whose antics made all roar,
And brushes past with anxious face,
Nor pauses in his hurried race.
Where no SUMS rays can light the gloom;
And there upon a trundle bed
He gazeS on his baby-deadi
Turkeys, Turkeys, Turkeys.

and impartial notices of the perform
ances followed, and at the end of the
engagement, the manager as usual
sought out the writer to make his &C
quaintance and bid him farewell with
the customary thanks to the press. He
then realized that personal feelings
have no part in newspaper criticism,
and he SO acknowledged. This incident
may tend to make it clear that compan-
les deserving Of commentator will be
ceive it regardless, and vice versa; and
we do not mind adding that though
recent events have again led us to
breach this subject, it is the last time,
for a good while, at least, that We
shall have anything to say on this

dramatic editor of The Herald was

manager had no idea that he had been

Regarding the offspring of habitual
drunllards, says DIR. Paul GARNER, of
Paris. who has made a special study of
children of the slums. There is a flaw
in the very nature of these young

the absence of affectionate emotions,
and where they did not become luna
ties they show insensibiiy and pitt

How liquor brings all classes to the
same low plane is shown by Mr.. G. r.
Sims, the novelist, who found within a
short interval of time, in single slum
clearinghouse in London, two officers
of the army and navy, physician, a
clergyman, two university men lone of
whom had kept pack of hounds, and
succeeded to a large fortune), master
of a college and fellow of the royal So

The stream of horrible profits which
drunkards pour into the enormous
reservoir of the drink trade is stream
swollen by untold misery to the inno-
cent. and a stream which everywhere
leaves the slime of its overflow over
devastated areas of society. But, apart
from drunkenness, and all its ruinous
incubus upon the well-being of our
country, the amount of hopeless waste
caused by the drinking habits of our
poorer population, is the main cause of
the pauperism and decentralization with
which for so many weary years the
best men have struggled in vain.

grounds for temperance efforts, they

THE MASS OF JUPITER.
Facts and Theories Concerning the Huge
but Distant Planet.

Taking the earth's mean distance
from the sun at 90, 1876 $50 miles. as given
by Hardness, the mean distance of Ju-
piter from the sun will be ASP. SOB, go
miles. The eccentricity of its elliptical
orbit being 0.04S25, its distance from
the sun at perihelion is 459. 5O7, 100 miles,
and at aphelion SOC, 100, $50 miles. Be
tween its greatest and least distances,
therefore, there is a difference of 49,
5Y2, APO miles, or about one-half the
earth's mean distance from the sun.
The inclination of Jupiter's orbit to the
plane of the ecliptic being only l de-
gree, Is minutes fl seconds-or less than
that of any of the other planets, with
the exception of Uranus-the planet
never departs much from the ecliptic,
and hence it was called by the ancients
the ''ecliptic planet" Its period of
revolution round the sun is II years,
S1r.S days.
The inclination of its axis of rotation
being nearly at right angles to the plane
of its orbit, there are practically no
seasons in this distant world, and the
only variation in the heat and light at
any point on its surface would be that
due to the comparatively small varia-
ton in its distance from the sun re-
ferred to above. Its mean distance
from the sun being 5.2O2S times the
earth's mean distance from the sun, it
follows that the heat and light received
by Jupiter is ~ times (5.2 squared) less
than the earth receives. The amount
of heat received from the sun by this
planet is very small, and We're it con-
stituted like the earth, its surface
should be perpetually covered by frost
and snow. Far from this being the
case, the telescope shows its atmosphere
to be in a state of constant and wonder
full change.
These extraordinary changes cannot
possibly be due to the solar heat, and
they have suggested the idea that the
planet may perhaps be in a red-hot
state, miniature sun, in fact, glowing
with inherent heat The great bril-
liancy of its surface, the ''albedo," as it
is called, and its small density-less
than that of the sun-are facts in favor
of this hypothesis. AS the attraction
of Jupiter's enormous mass would rem
der the materials near its center of
much greater density than those near
its surface, the latter must be consider
ably lighter than water and may posi-
bly, be in the gaseous state.-Gentle-
